he retorted and still laughing, got up and walked towards Dapo, who was still standing by the drinks cabinet. Dapo looked on gloomily as Dare fixed himself a drink, speaking as he went about his drink-fixing business.

"You, a handsome, rich, no, extremely wealthy and eligible bachelor of renown, being discarded by your 'damsel in distress' for a faceless nobody, who kissed her right under your very own nose, with your humble self as the sole audience!" Dare laughed again and shook his head as he walked back to his seat. "How funnier can that get, e

Tia looked at him and smiled. "You know," she said as the waiter went away, "I hate people who are not polite with the waiters or drivers. It is nice to see that you thanked him.” Kabir’s discomfort in his half-wet clothes was growing. He shifted uneasily on his chair, but Tia’s company made up for all the discomfort. At her comment, he smiled from ear to ear and shrugged, as if it didn’t mean much. She started telling him about her job in the publishing company, and how she wanted to become an author and write mystery novels.

School sucks... Life sucks! Everything sucks! Norbert grumbled in his mind as he drove to school that Friday morning. His lousy friends were being all noisy, and he couldn't hide his anger. "Y'all just shut up.. I'm having a hangover, so just save your shit." The guys remained silent until he pulled up at the college gates. Winchester college was a college of everyone's dream... well, not everyone. Definitely not Norbert, who just wanted to spend the rest of his life on a ship with a ton of hot girls on a trip to Mexico.

Milla’s past would always be a question in his mind. Bibik Ina’s dementia allowed her only to retain memories of a fourteen-year-old Milla. After three years, Hart could only tell himself that she had been reborn, putting down his desire to find out how she had died. Perhaps it was like the police had said, just a robbery. Now that he had decided to move on with Myra, there was nothing more he could do but just cherish the present and future. He promptly released his mouth from hers, followed by his hands.

DEDICATED TO ALL FAIRYTALE LOVER…❤️ “Never in my life have I ever thought that my tale would sound like a fairytale!” [*****] Once upon a time....🥱sounds boring, right?

Yes, as I have mentioned in the teaser of this story, their story begins with exchanging rings. So this is how the modern fairytale embarked on a new unknown journey.💕💕

I took a cab straight to the bar. The place reeked of smoke and booze. Jody was sitting in the middle, arms wrapped around Pete. A bunch of familiar faces crowded around her. Playboy types. The exact kind of people we used to hate hanging out with. Back when our company was just starting out, before I stepped back for her, she used to cling to my arm and whine, "Baby, don't hang out with those trust-fund brats. Let's just focus on our business. Stay far away from that crowd."

It was an amount I wouldn't have even dared to dream of before, yet I couldn't bring myself to spend it. Every time I went to the cafeteria, I still habitually ordered the cheapest dishes. Every time I walked past a coffee shop, I still hesitated. My classmates all teased me, "Nicolette, you're a trust fund kid, and you're still this frugal. How are we ordinary citizens who spend money like water supposed to face ourselves?" I smiled when I heard those words. This life of absolute abundance, where I never had to worry about food or clothes, was exactly what I dreamed of as a child. Yet, for some reason, now that I finally had it all, I didn't feel a single shred of happiness.

You know, the Spring Well magazine? It’s full of stories about people who are living amazing lives and achieving amazing things while you’re sitting around in your pants playing games.” she paused. “I guess you don’t do that, what with being a billionaire and everything.” “I don’t, no.”

The twins looked at Leath who turned her gaze away as soon as she heard the name of the country. "Where will we stay there, Sir? Do they even have a hotel with heaters?" A group of boys laughed at what Diane Atkins said. Diane Atkins is famous throughout the academy not just because her family owns a huge winery but because of her oozing sex appeal and confidence, that's why most boys gather around her and Daine always loved the attention she gets.

THREE YEARS LATER BLAIRE'S POV I folded the fresh blankets into a basket and kept them aside while watching the TV. The show was about something I entirely forgotten but it was funny so I watched it anyway. The show was suddenly interrupted. “We interrupt your program for a live update of the tragic story that took place three years ago. The life of trillionaire Fabian McConnell was placed on the line after his wife's ex husband, Jacob Sylvan, attempted to take his life out of jealously.
