he warned, his voice low. "Outside of this paper, you're still my enemy. We aren't friends, Zane." ​"Yeah, whatever. Enemy, rival, stranger pick your favorite label," Zane rolled his eyes, though there was a flicker of something like hurt in his gaze that he quickly masked. "But, at least around our parents, try not to look like you hate my guts. We need them to believe we’re happy so they stop poking into our business. Shouldn't fake love at least look halfway real?"

I could go over and punch him.” “Or he’s obsessed, with his hatred ” Oliver said, smirking. “You sure he’s not planning evil?” Austin rolled his eyes. “Can we talk about something else?” Meanwhile, at the other end of the hall, Brian’s own friends were watching. Matteo sat opposite them while James sat beside Brian. James leaned in. “Well well two enemies working together” Brian snickered “You are one to talk, weren’t you paired with Benjamin?” James laughed “Come on buddy, I am not enemies with Austin’s friends”

“I tripped and I landed on him.” Andrew stands, towering and mortified. “We were reviewing a chart, she tripped. That’s it.” With the gleam in their eyes, I doubt they believed any word we said. My mom winks- actually winks. “Of course, sweetie. You tripped and landed on him.” “I hate both of you.” I announce to the room.

Even though the thought of having her in my home, just down the hall, was both exciting and terrifying. We talked for another hour about logistics—what she'd need to bring, how we'd handle Mrs. Chen the housekeeper, what story we'd tell people about how we got together. "We should probably say it was a whirlwind romance," Elara suggested. "That we've been seeing each other secretly for a few months and decided to elope because our families would never approve."

if you see me with any , just know I just want to kill her, that's all, not even to sex her but to kill her, yes kill her", he said confidently. " haha, Alex, kill as how?, don't take this too far guy, but wait, why did u hate girls so much, see lemme tell u something, girls have a lot of benefits, I mean plenty benefits, most essential things I know a girl has is that sex part that u mentioned the other time, at least u can have one girl that will be able to take u through different levels, I mean they will take u to cloud nine, are u not getting it" Enzo said, while still holding a glass of alcohol Enzo and Finn were Alex's friend, they are 20 and 22 respectively.

Another step back. Ashely's face hardened. "You made out with my boyfriend." Sloane's eyes flicked to mine. Those misty brown things said really? you're just going to stand there? "I didn't know," she shook her head. "I didn't know he was—" "Everyone at Passion knows he's mine. But you just had to be a whore and get a taste, didn't you?" "I just want to leave." "No." Ashley turned to the others. "Not until she gives us a show. Show us how you sounded with Lexter and then you can go."

“Not so fast, you need to give us the details on how you were able to pull this off.” “Yeah…” the others added, nodding eagerly Martin leaned back, shaking his head, “She wasn't hard to fool. I told her what she wanted to hear, played the lover boy until she agreed to become my wife. And for all I know, she believes I am the perfect husband, the one she brags about to her friends.” As the laughter grew louder, my breath ceased. Each word felt like I was being stabbed with a knife. I felt a sharp ache replace the love I once felt.

“Are you playing mind games with me, Marcone?” “Of course not. I won’t dare do that, and besides, we’ve already settled our scores with my men—you remember what you did to my men who were simply following my orders?” His voice was rough; I guess torturing his men really got to him.

“You let me believe this marriage was just a business arrangement. A war between empires. When all along—it was personal. Deeply personal.” His hand reached out, but I stepped back. “Elena, listen to me,” he said, his tone urgent. “I didn’t know how to say it.
