" It was already challenging for Qin Jingwen to find enough money to foot the medical bill, not to mention the compensation for the dead and injured ones, and the huge amount of debts left by her father.

But before she could finish the sentence, Chu Yang'...

Drugged by her father, Qiao Ning was sent to an old man's bed. Luckily, a hot guy saved her, and she had a wild absurd night with him.

Qiao Ning got out of the taxi and hurried into Lidu, the fanciest Club in the city. Her father, Qiao Wenyuan, phoned her. He had drunk too much and asked her to come take him home. Worried about her father, Qiao Ning didn't even get changed after work. The seven-inch high heel, black skirt, and white shirt, however, did not undermine her beauty but showed her perfect body and tempting curves. She is a beauty. No one can doubt that. "Dad, are you okay? " Qiao Ning finally found the VIP room and went in. The atmosphere in the room was a little strange. Besides her father, there was another man-a man in his thirties, tall, handsome. Without a word, he sat on the sofa and squinted at Qiao Ning. Half of his face was hidden in the shadow. Qiao Ning felt uncomfortable as if she was hunted by a venomous snake. Qiao Ning felt her heartbeat quickened as she walked towards her father. There was only one thought in her mind: I must get out of here now. But Qiao Wenyuan unexpectedly picked up a glass of wine and handed it to her, "Qiao Ning, this is my boss, Mr. Hee. Give a toast to him for me. " "Dad, you are drunk. We'd better leave! " "Nonsense, do as I say," Qiao Wenyuan flared up. Qiao Ning bit her lip. She had no choice but to take up the glass and walked towards the man in shadow. "Mr. Hee, cheers, " she finished the whole glass of wine with indecent haste regardless of the cold gleam in the man's eyes. "My dad is drunk. Would you mind that I take him home now? " As a real estate consultant, Qiao Ning can drink a lot. A glass of wine wouldn't make her uncomfortable. However, when she turned around to help her father up, she was beginning to feel nauseous. Her head was spinning uncomfortably, and she was a little unsteady on her feet. More unsteady than usual. She staggered, and luckily, her father held her, preventing her from falling. Qiao Ning breathed in deeply and shook her head t...

On her 18th birthday, Wen Ning was sent to prison. In order to avenge herself, she accepted the devil's request and married her enemy who was paralyzed. What would happen when her paralyzed husband got conscious and found her wife to be the culprit of the car accident that made him lie on the bed for three years? *************** Her Revenge Chapter 1 Marry A Living Dead Man Late at night, the women's prison of the River City was covered by deadly silence and coldness. Wen Ning curled up on the bed, and the quilt on her body was extremely thin, which was unable to allow her to withstand the cold. She could not help but reach out and touch her aching knees. The bone-eating itch at her joints kept her awake all night. After three years, she thought she was used to the pain, but she was not as strong as she thought. The accumulated pain over the years made it even more difficult for her to pass through this winter. Wen Ning didn't even know if she could wait for the day when she would be released from prison. After being forced to take the rap three years ago, she was sentenced to ten years in prison. And now, there were still seven years left. Wen Ning moved her body because of the pain. The creaking bed woke up the person next to her. That woman got up in a rage and grabbed Wen Ning's hair. Wen Ning looked at that woman's fierce face. She looked numb for she had been used to being beaten. But her silence did not make that woman feel pity for her. A heavy slap was about to come. Wen Ning did not even have the strength to avoid it. She could only let this woman hit her. As long as this woman felt that was enough, things would end eventually. Just as she was waiting for the pain to come, suddenly, there were footsteps outside. "Wen Ning, come out! " Wen Ning opened her eyes and the woman shook her off, "You're lucky. " She slowly put on her only nearly decent clothes and walked out following the prison guard. "What happened? " "Shut up, and don't ask what you shouldn't! " The prison guard didn't say much and put a pair of handcuffs and a black hood on Wen Ning. Darkness brought her the unknown and fear, and Wen Ning's heart slowly sank. After walking for a while, she was taken to a car, "Where are you taking me? " Wen Ning listened to the sound of the engine starting, and her h...

Because no one ever could escape from his games. He gets what he wants. And this game is called...The trap of Ace. *************** I stared at the girl before me, and her nervous eyes behind those black rimmed glasses were also set on me. Tentatively, I tucked a strayed strand behind my ear and bit my lip. She mimicked. I blinked, so did she. "You done with your staredown match with yourself, Em?" A huff came from behind me. "For God's sake! You're doing this for the last five minutes! You're creeping me out now!" I glanced at my best friend through the mirror. With folded arms on her chest, sitting at the edge of my bed, she scowled at me. My eyes went back to my reflection. "I don't know, Beth. Do you think he- he'll like my look?" "After we spent two hours to doll you up? Yes, we think that he'll like your look. And won't reject you when you announce your undying love for him," said my other best friend, Casie, standing beside Beth. Reject. The same word that has been haunting my dreams for years now. I've been waiting for this day for six years. The day he said those words to me. I've been waiting since. And if he rejects me today… I don't know what I'd do. Flashback~ "Will you be my prince, Ace? I want to be your princess," I'd asked my brother's best friend when he gave me a Cinderella dress on my ninth birthday. He laughed at my silly question, almost breaking my heart. But then when he saw my crestfallen face, he crouched down before me, looking into my turquoise eyes with his stormy grey. "You're my princess."

"Tian, you are my love, from now to eternity." On their newlywed night, her husband said such words to Shu Tian, but this was a lie. She thought she was the happiest woman in the world until the lie was exposed. "I only married you because of your father, and now you are useless to me." Betrayed and devastated, she took one shot after another in the bar and got acquainted with a hot guy. She thought the hot guy was nobody but later he turned out to be the best lawyer in town. He offered his help to get her out of the miserable marriage and make her husband broken. In the end, she thought she could return to peace, but he cornered her, "your problem has been solved, so it's time to solve my problem." *************** Once Upon A One Night Stand 001 Let's Get a Divorce At nine o 'clock in the evening, there was a drizzle. On a cool autumn night, Shu Tian did not hold an umbrella in front of the gate of Manshan Villa. Her clothes on her shoulders were wet by the rain, but she seemed to not feel it. She took off her coat and wrapped it around the gift that she had prepared carefully in her arms. Today was the first anniversary of her and Tang Zechen. She should have been at her mother's home, but she secretly bought a gift for her husband to prepare a surprise for him. When she finally reached the door, her clothes were drenched. She took out her keys from her pocket and carefully opened the door. Without turning on the lights, she stood at the entrance and changed her shoes. The moment she lifted her feet, she saw a pair of high heels on the floor. Shu Tian was really stunned because she knew clearly that it was not her shoes, nor her size. Her heart was instantly grabbed by a pair of large invisible hands. She gently placed the things in her arms on the ground and slowly walked towards the master bedroom on the second floor. The closer she got, the clearer the flirtatious conversation became. "Chen, you're so awesome ... " A familiar female voice pierced through her eardrums and was extremely excited. "Little goblin, I knew you liked it! " The man chimed in. If he wasn't her husband Tang Zechen, who was he? From the corridor to the door, every step of Shu Tian's was like walking on the edge of a knife. Even if she could not see what was happening inside, it was not hard to imagine how intense the sex was just by the sound of it. "Who do you like more, Shu Tian or me? " The woman's sudden question made Shu Tian's heart skip a beat. Then she heard an answer that broke her heart. "Why, are you jealous? I've made love so hard on you, how can I make love with her? I have no interest in her at all! " She was afraid that no one would believe that her husband had never ...

Lin Lian had married Zhan Lianshi, a rich and formidable young man. Growing up in a slumdog, she was believed to be truly blessed by God for marrying such an outstanding man. However, is that the truth? She's in love with him. *************** Your Love Is Killing Me Chapter 1 One Moment Heaven, the Next Second Hell The sound of water came from the bathroom, and the smell was still lingering in the bedroom. Lin Lian looked at the tall figure reflected in the rubbing glass. She picked up the nightgown on the floor and put it on. Then she opened the window to let the smell out. And she changed the sheets and cleaned up the used condoms on the floor. When she bent down, she felt that her waist was sore and her legs were extremely uncomfortable. He had just exerted so much strength that she could not bear it for a moment. However, there was something wrong with him tonight. She wondered whether it was because of something in the company. But he never told her anything about the company, and she didn't like to ask. Zhan Lianshi came out in a bathrobe. Lin Lian said gently, "I've made the bed. You can sleep now. " Zhan Lianshi is a famous big boss in Lincheng City and in the whole country. His investment company, Gloryworld Group, was famous across the country, where he had been an influential figure. As for her, she was from an ordinary family. It was extremely lucky for her to marry him. She could not help him at work, so she could only help him in life, so that he would not have to worry anything other than work. Zhan Lianshi walked over, opened the drawer, and handed her a document. "Sign it. " Lin Lian took it and was puzzled. "What is this? " He never gave her files or anything like that. But Zhan Lianshi didn't answer her. He lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa. Lin Lian flipped through the documents and saw the words 'Divorce Agreement' in black. Her face instantly turned pale. Divorce... He wanted a divorce... The document fell to the ground. When Lin Lian looked at Zhan Lianshi, her voice trembled uncontrollably. "You want... a divorce? " A moment ago, they were doing the most intimate thing. But the next moment, he gave her the divorce agreement. She felt that this was not true an...

“Let‘s get a divorce!" This is the first line Su Zinuo got from Zhan Xunjue after getting married for five years. “What about Halo?” Halo is their son. He’s only four years old. “I’ll take care of him. As for you, please move out of my home tonight!” Zhan Xunjue said without a second thought. “But why? Why now?” Su Zinuo asked, trying hard to hold her tears. “Because she’s back.” Su Zinuo understood what “she” refers to. It’s Bo Youyu, his first love. *************** We Will Never Get Back Together Chapter 1 "Let's divorce. " Su Zinuo had married Zhan Xunjue for five years. Their child was four years old. She did not expect that "divorce" would be the first word he said to her. As usual, he was wearing a black military uniform. The pin and army stars on his shoulder proved his rank, but his military boots shinning her tears. He looked directly into Zinuo, emotionlessly and decisively. Clearly, he was not asking for her opinions. He was just telling her his decision. The armed guards stood straight and quietly in a row behind Zhan Xunjue. He absolutely did not intend to intimidate her. As the youngest general of the empire, his deterrent was much more than this. But Su Zinuo knew that she could not say no to him. He's hot, but cold in heart. Zinuo remembered the first time she met him. She could not breathe when he walked to her. He had the most handsome face she had ever seen. But now her heartbeat didn't race up like she always did. She was as calm as facing a stranger. "Twenty million. " Zhan Xunjue cocked his head and eyed the guard, who immediately took out a check and give it to Zinuo. She reached out her hand to accept it. She always followed his order. She was willing to do anything he wanted her to do, as long as he was happy. Zhan Xuejue was born and bred in a disciplined military family. He was the most outstanding and most mysterious one. He's a legend. He was the God of War. He always won and never failed. His name was enough to intimidate enemies. He was powerful and wealthy, but no one knew how much money he had. He might have no idea as well, because he didn't care. But 20 million was his five-year salary as a general. "Move out tonight! " He repeated. "What shall we do about Halo? " Su Zinuo looked up and murmured, tears welling up in her eyes. She was not a beauty, but definitely not ugly. Porcelain skin, sparkling eyes, flawless face- clean, simple, and elegant. However, that means n...

The day that I am wearing a white wedding dress is supposed to be the happiest day in my life but turns my life into a living hell. I catch my fiancé and sister sleeping together, and is kicked out by them. That's also the day I meet him. He asks me to marry him and promises me to get my revenge. Who is he? What is his purpose? *************** What If You Love Me Chapter 1 The Wedding Was Canceled January 20, the coldest day of the year. Jing City is a coastal city, cold and damp in winter, but never snows. The wind was howling together with the icy rain, making people frozen. Shu Niange stood at the entrance of the hotel to say hi to every guest. She was wearing a long white wedding gown with umbrella cut. Flimsy and strapless, it's clearly a summer dress. Even though she was shivering in the cold, she still smiled sweetly and happily at everyone. Today was the most important day of her life. She was getting married to the love of her life-Fu Shaoxuan. Although the marriage was arranged by their parents and settled down because of business interest, she was more than happy to do it because Fu Shaoxuan was the only one she loved so much in this world. That's why she excitedly designed the wedding gown when she heard the news. It was an all-white dress, with exquisite embroidery, a long yet elegant trailer, and an off-the-shoulder neckline, perfectly revealing her sexy curves. It's summer wear because the wedding was previously set on May 1st last year, but for some unknown reason, at least unknown for Shu Niange, the Fu family rescheduled it to this January. She did not complain. For her, marrying Fu Shaoxuan and leaving the Shu family was her dream. It's totally worth waiting if her bridegroom is Fu Shaoxuan. After almost all guests had arrived, a woman strode to Shu Niange. She was wearing exaggerated makeup and her high heels gave her 6-inch frame an additional three inches. She sneered with her mouth twitched, "All right, Shu Niange, everyone is here now. You should go back to the dressing room to fix your makeup first. " This was Fu Peiqi, Fu Shaoxuan's younger sister. She always squinted at Shu Niange with her chin up. Shu Niange certainly knew that Fu Peiqi didn't like her, but anyway, she was her future sister-in-law, so she had to smile, "No hurry. Shaoxuan will be here soon. I'l...

When her mother was in trouble, the man stepped up and saved them. From then on, Bai Xianxian's eyes were all over him. She wanted him, badly. However, when they met again, she didn't recognize him. This made him unhappy and he decided to punish her in a special way. *************** The Baby Bumps Chapter 1 Only Give Birth to His Child "Save my mother, save my mother... " A blinding ray of light shot straight at Bai Xianxian, and she rushed to a car speeding down the road. The black Maybach suddenly stopped and the car just grazed her tiny body. Bai Xianxian fainted in pain. Inside the Maybach, the driver turned his head in a slight panic and looked at the handsome young man in the back seat who slowly lifted his head from the document. "Young master, it's too dark. I might have hit someone. " Li Lingye stepped out of the car and walked around it. Her eyes fell on the little girl in front of the car. She was about five or six years old. If not for the tears on her face, she would be like a fairy tale princess who was delicate and pretty. Looking at that little face, he involuntarily bent over and picked her up. The kitten-like little body subconsciously curled up in his arms, "Save my mother, save my mother... " Twelve years later. City T. At the magnificent five-star hotel, a luxury Bentley drove over. Seeing there was finally a single man stepping out of the car, Bai Xianxian quickly followed up. He was a bald man in his fifties who was a little old. However, Bai Xianxian didn't mind that. She just wanted to make use of him for a while. "Please come in. " The woman receptionist wearing a high split cheongsam with big white legs smiled at the man and motioned him to come in. Bai Xianxian nodded at the receptionist immediately. And then she walked calmly in with the man as if she was with him. After entering the hotel, the man went to the bar and Bai Xianxian went straight to the elevator. This hotel was very strictly managed so not everyone could come in. So, she had to randomly use a man to get in. She checked that Li Lingxuan was staying in the hotel's presidential suite tonight. The elevator went straight to the top floor. Bai Xianxian opened her backpack, took out a thin wire, and quietly unlocked the presidential suite. Sh...

To prevent her father from committing suicide, Zhong Zhen’s mother fell down from the balcony and sent to the ICU. To get enough medical fees, she had no choice but to become a surrogate. She shared the bed with a strange man and gave birth to a pigeon pair. When the babies were carried away, Zhong Zhen delivered another baby. Instead of giving out the baby, she ran away secretly and it was not until three years later that she came back. Everything was perfect until destiny played a “joke” on her one more time. What would happen when the triplets were found? *************** A Surprise Pregnancy Chapter 1 Family Change "Zhenzhen, your father, he, he went on the roof of the company building, want to suicide! Hurry up and get there! Huh?! Zhong Zhen jumped up in shock from her mother's sobbing phone call. Before she could respond, she ran out of the female dormitory of the Academy of Performing Arts with her phone in her hand. Ignoring the cold rain, she ran towards the school gate. However, the academy was located on the edge of the city, and there were very few cars passing by. There were no taxis at all. Zhong Zhen was anxious and rushed down the road in a desperate attempt to stop a private car that was speeding towards her. Squeak! Special assistant Xiang Ming slammed on the brake, and the Bentley stopped only ten centimetres away from Zhong Zhen after making a sharp noise! "Boss Feng, are you all right? " Xiang Ming calmed down and quickly asked his big boss, who was sitting in the back seat. "I'm fine. " said Feng Beichen, frowning slightly. At this moment, Zhong Zhen had run to the door of the car and knocked on the window. She bent down and looked in, pleading with a series of voices, "I have something urgent, I have to arrive Gan Yuan Building. Can you give me a ride? Please! " Xiang Ming pressed the button and the window slowly rolled down. When Feng Beichen's cold eyes landed on Zhong Zhen's wet little face, he was slightly stunned. Xiang Ming was about to yell at Zhong Zhen, but Feng Beichen spoke first, "Let her get in the car. " "... Ok. " Xiang Ming, who was deeply surprised, responded slowly and pressed the unlock button, allowing Zhong Zhen to sit down in the front passenger seat. "Thank you, thank you! " Zhong Zhen thanked him in a hurry. She stared anxiously at Bentley, watching it start and then turn around at the intersection ahead. No one said anything. The atmosphere in the car froze. Feng Beichen stared at Zhong Zhen's side profile through the flickering light. No matter how he looked at it, he fe...

Braxton Merriweather always gets what he wants. Now, he wants her--Julia Thompson, the wife of one of his workers. From the moment he first laid eyes on her, he knew he had to possess her in every way. When Jeff Thompson takes him up on the bargain he proposes, Braxton is shocked. He's even more surprised when Mrs. Merriweather agrees. But now that he's had a taste of her, he wants more. How can he possess a woman who's already married to someone else? Julia feels trapped by her marriage to her high school sweetheart. In the two years since they've been married, he's changed, and not for the better. When billionaire Braxton Merriweather shows interest in her, she's flattered. And intrigued. Is it possible that one of the richest men in the world could really want her? And if so... what does she do about her husband? The Billionaire CEO's Bargain is a sexy story for mature readers. *************** The Billionaire CEO's Bargain Julia I turn off the hot water and place the last of the breakfast dishes into the dishwasher, giving the kitchen one last glance to make sure I didn’t miss anything. Jeff has already left for work, but if I’ve missed a dish, I’ll have to wash it by hand. He doesn’t like it when I miss something. Satisfied that all of the dishes are in the dishwasher, I put the soap in the compartment and push the start button. It’s not a big machine, but then, only two of us live in our tiny apartment for now. Jeff has made no secret that he hopes to have children soon. I’m not sure I’m ready. I’m not sure we are ready. Once the dishwasher is purring, I start to wipe down the counters and the stove. They are already clean. I constantly wipe down the surfaces in the kitchen because I have nothing better to do. Jeff has also made it clear that he doesn’t want his wife to have a job, even though he knows we could use the money. He has been at the financial advising firm for almost two years now. Meriweather and Associates is a great place to work, but I’m not sure that Jeff is as good at his job as he lets on. He has never gotten a raise, and a few times, he has come home late, drunk, angry that those “assholes” at work just don’t understand him. I think on those days he’s gotten in trouble for messing up his accounts. I can’t think about that, though. Most of the time, our life is comfortable. We live a pretty meager life in the largest city in the country, but no one knows that our existence is so pitiful. Jeff spends most of his salary on appearances, and we have a lot of credit card debt as well. His boss, Braxton Merriweather, is a billionaire. He throws lavish parties and invites people from his company to join him. Jeff never misses a chance because he wants to be a part of that world, even though we really are not. We come from a small town in the midwestern part of the country, thousands of miles from here. Worlds from h...

A fire burned all Shen Mange's love for Ye Nanxian. Five years later, she would return with glory and seek justice for herself. However, she did not expect that the little boy she brought back was more capable than her. A little boy stood in front of Ye Nanxian and said innocently. "Uncle, could you please do me a favor? " Ye Nanxian was unable to say no to such an adorable kid. He squatted down to help, but unexpectedly, he was sprayed with blood. "Hey kiddo, this is my room!" "But I want to sleep with mommy. We have slept for five years." Ye Nanxian burst into tears. He had just got his wife back, but his son was so disturbing? What should he do?! *************** Irresistible Ex-Wife Chapter 1 It's Time for Us to End "It's positive, ma'am. You're pregnant. " "I'm... I'm pregnant? " Shen Mange shuttered as tears well up in her eyes. She could not believe it. "Yes, you are. " The doctor confirmed, "Congratulations! " "Thanks! " Mange replied with a smile as she took over the test result and read it again and again. She was pleasantly surprised. Finally, finally. She was pregnant! Pregnant with Ye Nanxian's baby! She had prayed to God about it and now her miracle was growing inside her. After three years of marriage, she finally had his child. How many efforts she had made just for this moment! She happily walked out as she caressed her belly protectively. She couldn't wait to tell Ye Nanxian the good news, but when she turned the corner, she saw a familiar figure passing by. Chu Mengxi? Ye Nanxian's first love! She's back! Shen Mange quickly followed her, only to find that Ye Nanxian. He was supposed to be working, but was beside her and carefully holding her in his arms protectively. Obviously, she had been pregnant for more than five months. "Nanxian, I'm fine. You don't have to worry. The child is healthy. " "Just take a test to confirm it. Our baby is the first grandson and the heir of our Ye family. We cannot afford any mistakes. " Chu Mengxi smiled, revealing perfect white teeth. While Ye Nanxian stared at her fondly. What a sweet couple. In other eyes, yes. But not for Mange. "What are you doing? " Shen Mange grabbed the pregnancy test result in her hand hard. Her fingernails pierced through the paper into her palm. It hurt, but the pain was nothing when it's compared to her broken heart. It was very difficult for her to get pregnant. She knew it well. That's why she tried all possible ways to change it over the past three years. She went to see famous doctors with strong expertise in Obstetricians and Gynaecologists around the country. She went to all kinds of temples serving avalokitesvara to...

Wicked Ones novel online reading Wickeds have grown to a whopping 3% of the entire U.S. population. No one knows where they originated, or how they came to be. Some contest that they were ever human at all, but 'Demon spawn', or 'sons of Satan'. Sometimes they're just simple college students, making their way in the bustling city of Seattle. It's been three years since Kailan Tsai and Vincent O'Connor have seen each other's faces. After their dramatic pasts, they were separated by fate itself, only to be reunited once again--and under the same roof, at that. Rekindling their friendship would be an easy task at hand, but deep emotions lie beneath calm waters. Can they survive in a world set on destroying them, or will they bite back? In a world of wickeds, nothing is absolute. *************** "This night would mark the start of our calling. They would hear our voices in the echo of gunshots, see our faces in the smoldering flames, feel the tremors of our footsteps stalking behind every startled heartbeat. The world would know us like they never have; we are more than just monsters. "This is where our destiny begins." The words rang in his ears, hardened his bones. He lifted his head to the copper skies, the taste of dirt and ash on his tongue. Perhaps for the others, this was where their destiny began. As for his own, it all started with a game. * "One." "Two." "Three." With a speedy hand, Vincent brought a card up from the deck and slapped it against his forehead. He struggled to hold his grin as he watched his opponent do the same. He couldn't see his own number, but across the table, an Eight of Hearts pressed between Kailan's eyes. The small group that had gathered around them erupted in hoots and guffaws at the draw. Their reaction made Vincent crumble into a tipsy laugh, lowering the card in his palm. Eight of Spades; they'd matched again. "This isn't any fun if we keep matching." Kailan plucked up a shot glass from the center of the table. He reached across with the offering, and Vincent took in with a sense of challenge. "I've got all night." Vinny tossed the drink back and recoiled with a deflating hiss. "I think you're scared," he added, voice gruff from the burn. "I don't get drunk, Vinny, you know that." Kailan tipped back his own glass, lassoing up the loose cards to shuffle the deck. "I'm out, someone else can take my place." He began to rise from his seat, when Vincent interjected. "One more," he pleaded, a white catty grin budding from his lips. "One more, or I turn the music up." Kailan rolled his eyes and slumped back into his chair. "You know how many 'one more's we've had?" "One more," he repeated with a dimpled smile. Kailan shook his head, but his grin stuck as he fanned the cards from one hand to the other. From across the table, Vincent observed. Perhaps it was the intensity that burned in his eyes, or the crescent smirk that could frighten the Cheshire cat himself. But Kailan could silence a crowd with

Would Stephen change because of her? *************** “Damn!” A woman came into my room, wearing long sleeves and only a knee-length skirt. Her tantalizing eyes and beguiling, her nose is straight and pointed. Her lips were thin, sultry and kissable. Her hair is a mixture of black and brown. I’m a bit in shock and also this woman beside me. We’re at the hotel right now and the door isn’t locked, I guess. Damn! It’s not my fault! This stupid woman should be to blame. Why didn’t she lock the door? That woman rubbed her eyes... “Ahhhhhhhh!!!” I covered my ears using my both hands because of her shout. Sh*t!! This woman, what’s her f**king problem?! I raised my eyebrows and just smirked when she immediately covered her eyes using her two hands. Is this woman innocent? Or she was just shock? Does she want a threesome? I mean... never mind! What the f**k am I thinking! She’s kinda cute... wait, what?! Did I just say that girl is cute? Tsk, no way! She’s not cute, she’s not ugly either... She’s normal...? Ughh Whatever! “A-Are they filming a p*rn something like that?” I heard her ask herself. I frowned. Wait, what about filming? Is she stupid? “Hey! Don’t you have any plans to leave? Can’t you see that you’re disturbing us?!” This woman! It hurts my head when she speaks. I don’t even know her. She suddenly came into my room and then this happens... wait, I didn’t lock the door? Oh, I’m so stupid, I forgot to lock the damn door! “Sorry! I’m sorry, I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to!” She said and even bowed at us. “I’m sorry, you can continue now Direk.” She muttered, before closing the door. Direk? What does she mean... Direk? Pfft, does she think that we’re filming something like this? Crazy woman. “Oh, you’re so handsome when you smile Mr...” I didn’t realize I was already smiling. I immediately turn my face into a poker face and looked at the woman who’s in front of me. “I want you, I’m getting...” she whispered in my ear. I winced. No one cares! Damn, it first time I wince when a woman says that to me. She’s now on top of me, but I immediately pushed her, causing her to fall on the bed. “What’s the problem?!” “Get out,” I said calmly and picked up my cellphone. I looked at the time and it was 2:30 pm already. “What?? Why!?” Is she deaf or what!? I grabbed her against me and looked at her sharply. “I said, get out!” at the same time pointing to the door. “But we’re not done yet-- “ d

How will the relationship between a powerful casanova and an elegant part-timer be restricted? *************** Brielle "Where the hell did I keep my charger?" I roam my eyes around, trying not to make contact with his eyes. "Ms. Damara?" My name came out of his mouth as a reference of fright to me. "You wail like the absolute businessman, and I must say," I pout as I continued cleaning the table and picking up the used coffee cups by outgoing customers. "Indeed I'm, I must say!" He smiles, the type that didn't touch his eyes.  I glanced at the next man sitting on the side of the table with his back faced in our direction, not being able to see his face, all I saw was his blue suit which seemed expensive, hoping to God that no one was listening to our conversation. "Well, Sir!" I breathed out, looking exhausted at him. He furrows his thick eyebrow. "I have no way of knowing. This is my working hours, and it's not for chit-chat with customers!" I gave him a smiling gesture, and my interest was piqued.  "How old are you?" he questions me with his blue eyes not leaving my unpleasant face, "Just asking because you're pretty young and knowledgeable about your work." he reprimanded. "It's an insult to ask a lady about her age, do you know that?" I watched as he got pull taut. "My apologies!" I squirmed. His look made me feel like an errant child, and I tried again. I looked at Iker, who was going to be the next for his afternoon shift. It's already 11:30, and I have to get out of the shop since my shift is over for the day.  "I'll be right back, Sir!" I walked past the Iker, not looking at the man who wore an expensive suit. I rush in to get my bag. A FEW MINUTES LATER! "Tell me about yourself," I question him, still not looking at his well-shaped face as we both sit on the waiting chair beside the bus station. "I have a family. I have a brother by name Jace and sister by name Hermione and also two loving parents, " he smiles as he sips on his latte. "What's your name Mr...?" He inflates sharply, and I cringed like a mortified crab. Why didn't I employ some filter before I asked him his name from the start? Damn me and my curiosity! "No, Ms. Brielle, I'm cool, " he raised his eyebrows, a cool gleam in his eyes. He doesn't look too pleased. "I apologize, it's ermm...just that I've been chatting with you from the coffee shop till now, of which I don't know your name." It's the first time he said my name from seeing it on m

CEO's Contract Wife *************** A thin ray of sunlight shone through a gap between the thick window blinds. Qi Yushi opened her eyes, only to find that her vision was hazy. Not only did she have a splitting headache which seemed to pound her skull relentlessly, her whole body ached so much that she felt like she had been run over by a car. The first thing that she saw as soon as her vision cleared was the thin ray of sunlight on a luxurious carpet and a dark gold wall. What the...Where is this...Am I dreaming... Qi Yushi rubbed her temples as she tried to sit up - only to find herself held back down by an arm that was firmly hooked around her waist. An arm? It was only then did Qi Yushi become aware of the warm body that was tightly pressed to hers - she was momentarily stunned. Realising that something must have happened last night, she gently lifted the quilt with trembling hands - sure enough, the blue and purple marks that were etched all over her body confirmed her worst fears. Memories from the night before began flooding into her mind... Beautiful outfits, people talking, a happening and energetic social gathering. Qi Yushi sat at a corner, for she had too much to drink - suddenly, someone offered to take her to a room to rest. Even though she had wanted to reject the offer, she was too drained to demonstrate any form of resistance - as such, she let herself be taken by that person to the doorstep of a hotel room. That person then told her that he had something to attend to before excusing himself. Left alone at the doorstep, Qi Yushi entered the room, fumbling through the darkness to find the bed - only to realise that there was someone. Just them, a pair of large hands snaked around her waist - her head was spinning as she found herself pressed beneath a man, the searing heat from his hands engulfing her. Their two bodies entangled in a tight embrace, she felt his scorching heat radiating through the flimsy material of his shirt. The man above seemed to be studying her through the faint glow that peeked into the room from the outside. A deep and sonorous voice sounded. “Are you the one who was brought to the door?” Malice seemed to drip from the voice - akin to the lethality of a night poppy. Before Qi Yushi could comprehend his words, which she could hardly manage given her alcohol clouded state of mind, she felt a pair of hot lips envelop hers. Impatient and eager, the same large hand tore off her skirt - the sounds of her fervent protests were entirely contained by his overpowering offensive. As the smell of alcohol drifted throughout the air, she gradually descended into the haze. Half-consciously and half-unconsciously, the pair proceeded to engage in mindless ** - the moment that he entered her, a scream ripped from her throat as she clawed at his shoulders. “It hurts!”

Twisted Perfection "You don't remember?" he asked in a husky voice and took a step forward while I took a step back. "No, I don't." I lied confidently this time as he kept walking towards me. "You don't remember the way I kissed you or how wet you got even before I touched you down there?" he whispered bluntly, making my eyes go wide. "Mr. Wilson, that's very inappropriate." I kept walking and my back hit against the wall behind me. Nate Wilson is a hot guy who is every girl's wet dream. In an attempt to get over his best friend who is married, he hooks up with a total stranger. Samantha Perez is a fiesty and confident young woman who lives the perfect life.

Read to find out what life has in store for these two imperfect souls. *************** Sequel to 'Amidst Chaos' but can be read as a stand-alone also. Happy Reading! I watched the people around me having a good time as I kept chugging on drink after drink to drown my sorrows and pain. It was a little early to be drinking at a bar but I didn't give a shit. I could see people giving me weird stares at my attire. I mean, of course, it wasn't normal to see a guy dressed in a tux at a bar, drinking like a maniac, at this time of the day. Well, fuck off, people! I had my own reasons. "Keep 'em coming," I yelled to the bartender and kept tapping my feet to the music that was faintly ringing in my ears. "You better have a ride back home, young man." He placed the drink with a worried look on his face and I scoffed thinking about how I had nobody to drive me home and nobody to love me. "One long Island iced tea, please." I heard a sexy voice beside me and caught a whiff of some flowery pleasant smell. If it was any other time, I would have checked out the chick and even tried to flirt with her but I was too drunk and hurt to even bother. I kept sipping on my drink quietly and noticed that the woman had sat down on the chair beside me with her drink. She started to go through her phone and I couldn't help but notice her long fingers with painted red nails, tapping away furiously on the screen. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed that she had shoulder-length chestnut brown hair that hid her face and she was wearing a red dress that reached till her thighs. I shook my head getting distracted and turned my focus back to my drink. "Some wedding huh?" I heard that same sexy voice after a while and turned to my side to find her talking to me. I blinked twice to see her clearly through my blurred vision. Fuck, she was smoking hot with her big hazel brown eyes and plump lips that were painted red, matching her dress. Her olive skin looked so smooth like silk and I swallowed hard, shaking my head, trying to get rid of the inappropriate thoughts. "Hello?" Sh

The CEO's Escort book online reading She is Amber Banks, a down to earth and hardworking young woman. Being orphaned from a young age, she works tirelessly, holding down three to four jobs a day just to support her only brother's education. She loves him dearly. One day, her brother gets into trouble. Deep trouble. He faces a lifetime in jail and the only way for her to save him is to steal confidential data from the CEO of Virtuex, Fabian Williams himself and hand them over to his rival company. She works her way into his life, playing the role of a temptress; but in the process, she falls in love with him. Will Amber betray William for her brother in the end? Will William find out who she truly is? Will love prevail or will it burn to ashes, never to be seen again? *************** The Supreme Court of Justice was hushed as everyone waited for the judge to arrive. Amber Banks sat next to her attorney with her head held high at the Counsel’s table. Her emerald green eyes stared straight at the wooden panelled walls opposite from where she sat, not making eye contact with anyone. She was dressed in an oversized orange prisoner jumpsuit which was much too big for her petite frame and her fiery red curls were tied back in a loose ponytail.   Behind her, a soft glow of warm sunlight streamed into the otherwise stuffy room filled with highly tensed people, highlighting the dust particles that danced and twirled in the air. To the untrained eye, Amber came off as aloof, emanating a sense of emotional detachment from her surroundings - inwardly however, she was breaking down. None of the jury sitting behind the bulletproof glass wall could see, but beneath the wooden table where her cuffed hands lay, she was trembling. Her hands were shaking so much that she had to dig her thumbnails into her index fingers just to calm herself. Amber Banks was on trial for murder. A murder she did not commit. “All rise! The court is now in session.” Everyone in the room stood up solemnly. In walked Judge Rodney, in a plain black robe. It was his last case as a judge before his official retirement and it was also one of the biggest trials of the decade. A CEO of an upcoming startup tech company had been murdered in cold blood. Judge Rodney raised his hand, signalling for everyone to sit before taking a seat himself. As he sat himself down, his aging back made a little cracking sound. He was getting too old for this and could not wait for the trial to end, but he had a dreaded feeling that the case would drag on for some time. He cleared his throat, “Everyone but the jury may be seated, Bailiff John Deere, please swear in the jury.” The young bailiff nodded at the judge and turned to the jury of twelve, “Please raise your right hands. Do you solemnly swear or affirm that you will truly listen to this case and render a true verdict and a fair sentence as to this defendant?” The members of the jury looked at Amber, who sat seemingly emotionless at the Counsel’

Fatal Obsession: The Black Widows Series #2 After a hot weekend with a mysterious woman, Damien Chan did not expect to get a frightened phone call from her, begging him to save–what? who? The call is cut before she says it. The next thing he knows, he’s become obsessed with finding her and saving her from the man that had led to their first meeting. But he never expected to find her in his cousin Dale Carson’s house… as his wife! She finds out her nightmares are actually memories of her past life… the life of a murderer. Could she truly be the deranged Ellsa Jabari who'd almost added her own sister Ellie to the list of people she’s killed? Amnesia can be a real bitch! *************** Chapter One Summer 2006 Damien Chan pushed his sunglasses to the tip of his nose to give his eyes a clear view of the beauty that had just crossed in front of him on the other side of the pool. He hadn’t expected—well it was Miami and seeing beauties pool side was the norm of each day but this one... there was something special about this one. He could tell by the way she walked in her six inch strapped sandals that exposed perfectly pedicured toes and sturdy ankles. There had to be a secret to balancing in those neck breaking heels and look so mouth watering doing so. He never understood why women tortured themselves trying to look taller, but he gained a whole new appreciation for the neck breakers. His eyes travelled up from the silver charm anklet that sat seductively around her ankle, up her caramel stiff shaped calf that spoke of how fit she was. Damien loved a woman who kept fit. Nothing jiggled and she had a combination of tight and soft in all the right places. His eyes journeyed up to her thighs—Damien smiled to himself—toned and jiggle free. Just the way he liked them wrapped around his waist. Her thighs rounded up into a perfect ass partially exposed by the white swimsuit she had on, but tastefully covered by the see through thigh high robe that rode slapdash on her shoulders. The bottom of her swimsuit had golden circular hoops at both sides of her waist bone, clearly the only things holding the bottom pieces together. Very Victoria Secret like. Damien shifted uncomfortably on his lounge chair. The bottom half of her had him so hard already, he had to raise his knee to hide the evidence. She turned around, giving him a back view of her body. He wished she would— “Yes!” he whispered with a discreet air punch. The flimsy robe slide down her arms so fluidly, like a gentle caress and pulled at her waist before she tagged it completely off and tossed it on the lounge chair. Damien had never felt so jealous of a piece of clothing before. What he would give to be that robe! Her back was exposed, except for the thin straps that tied behind her neck and across her back to hold up the swimsuit. She had what looked like a delicate back, the outlines of her shoulder blades were visible and so was the hollow deep between that led to the round curve of

Super Wife's Three Babies *************** By the time Olivia Maxwell regained consciousness, it was the morning after. She walked along the main road in a daze, and a single, scorching hot tear rolled down her face unexpectedly. Yesterday was her birthday. At first, she was going to meet up with her fiancé, Hugo Gray, for a date. However, she unexpectedly ran into him while he was cheating on her with her stepsister. At that moment, the only thought that ran through her mind wasn’t to make a scene and question them with the only remaining shred of dignity she had left. She decided instead to give them a taste of their own medicine—an eye for an eye; a tooth for a tooth. I’m going to get my revenge! I’m going to make them pay for this dearly! In the beginning, she thought that everything had come to an end with that. However, she realized two months later that she was pregnant! Olivia felt cold all over as she stared at her stepsister standing in front of her. At the same time, her stepsister’s mocking expression stabbed into her heart painfully. Anna Maxwell pretended to be shocked. “Olivia, weren’t you still dating Hugo two months ago? How could you do something like this to him?” Olivia stared at Anna and sneered, “Aren’t you ashamed of what you did? Besides, whatever happens between Hugo and I is none of your business!” At the time, she only said that she wanted to break up and did not say anything about their disgusting cheating to preserve their dignity. However, she did not expect Anna to act so shamelessly. How dare she mention the events from back then?! A flash of guilt flitted across Anna’s eyes. She had not expected Olivia to bring up the truth in front of their father right now. Thus, she pointed at Olivia and raised her voice, “Don’t talk nonsense! That night, you stayed out all night. Then, you broke up with Hugo the very next day. The only reason I agreed to take your place and become Hugo’s fiancée is for the sake of a successful union between our families. Even if you don’t understand my pain, you shouldn’t wrong me by saying such words!” As she spoke, her tears fell freely down her face. Olivia’s stepmother, Amy Davis, had been sitting by the side. Just then, she hugged Anna and said in displeasure, “Olivia, you shouldn’t speak without evidence! You might not care for your own reputation, but your sister is still young. How is she going to hold her head up in society if you ruin her reputation?!” Olivia was so mad that she burst out laughing, “I saw the two of them together myself; do I need to obtain the surveillance footage for you?” Slap. As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she felt a slap hitting her hard across the face. It left half her face feeling numb from the force. Clutching at her cheek, she looked toward the man who hit her in disbelief. “Dad, why did you hit me?” “Your sister sacrificed so much for this family! On the other hand, look at you! How dare you shame your sister? You’ve embarrassed

Special Bond & Special Love *************** At a police station in Wingston City, the young policewoman looked sympathetically at Erin Harvey, who kept fiddling with her fingers while sitting on the chair, and asked, “It’s been five days, Captain. We’ve called all of Erin’s relatives, but none of them is willing to adopt her. What do you think we should do now?” “What else can we do? Send her to the orphanage then.” Captain Wilkins crouched in front of Erin. “Erin, I’ll send you to the orphanage tomorrow, alright?” Erin gently pressed her thin lips together, her long eyelashes drooping as though she didn’t hear what he said at all. Captain Wilkins gave a long sigh. “Why do you think no one is willing to take in such an adorable child—” Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a clatter of heavy footsteps approaching from the police station’s door. Startled, he stood up and looked at the door. “Here, Young Master Arthur.” Captain Wilkins first saw the person who spoke, and his jaw dropped in shock at the sight of the man. What kind of a terrific figure is this? Our Chief even greeted him in person! Then, an emotionless gaze that seemed to contain a sharpness that could destroy everything shifted to Captain Wilkins, causing the latter’s heart to jump. When he looked in the direction of the gaze, he immediately let out a gasp. The man heading his way was tall and lean. Dressed in light-colored casual wear, he put his hands in his pockets while pressing his clean, thin lips into a straight line. His face—the features of which were so pronounced as if God carved them himself—had an inherent coolness about it and the aristocratic vibes he gave off made people avoid his gaze. Captain Wilkins recognized this man at a glance. He was Arthur Harrison, the most esteemed third young master of the Harrison Family—the leading family of the Four Greatest Families of Wingston City—whom Old Mr. Harrison had publicly announced to be the future heir to the Harrison Group. But what is he doing here? thought Captain Wilkins to himself. Noticing that Arthur was coming his way, Captain Wilkins quickly stepped aside. Arthur walked straight up to Erin before drawing his hand out of his trouser pocket. Then, he put out a long, thin finger and gently lifted Erin’s little chin, staring expressionlessly at her exquisite doll-like face with cold, deep eyes. “Do you want to come with me?” Captain Wilkins was speechless. Erin hadn’t spoken a word for five days since the car accident. She stared at Arthur; her eyes were as dark as two gemstones that hadn’t been tainted by worldliness. Arthur frowned. “You’re not willing?” Erin lowered her excessively long eyelashes without saying a word. Then, she slowly raised her hand and gently held the slightly icy finger that Arthur put on her chin. Arthur narrowed his eyes before his long arm stretched out and hooked around Erin’s dainty body. Tucking her under his arm, he then strode out of the police station. Stu

My heart is beating so fast I see white. He stepped closer and grabbed my arm tightly. "Dammit! Answer me! Why are you taking pills?! I thought this was what you wanted?!" his eyes were pinning me with hatred. I was on the verge of tears. "I-It's---" I tried to speak, but my voice left out of my mouth. I jumped when he suddenly threw the bottle of contraceptive pills against the wall. His voice booming around us. I closed my eyes, silently praying for all of this to be over. "Answer me! I thought you wanted to get pregnant?! You have to be pregnant! Why?! Have you found someone else?! Is he richer than me?! Smarter?! Extra attractive? Can he make you spasm?" He smiled at his last question, which made my whole face feel hot. I can't let him humiliate me again. I have to make my stand.  "I-It's not like that. I-I'm withdrawing from our agreement." I told him as I lowered my gaze. He seized my arm again and pushed me against the bed, his muscular body above mine, demanding my full attention . "You can't back out now! Not now, not ever! It's in the contract that if you don't obey what we've discussed, your vegetated boyfriend won't be able to stay with you! That machine is the only thing that keeps him alive, I can make a stop to that machine," he looked me straight into the eyes threatening me with his stare. He smirked as he saw defeat in my eyes. He lowered his face and brushed his nose against my neck , inhaling my scent. "I'm not letting you go," he whispered. "But he won't be happy if he finds out," I cried quietly. I can't leave, for I know better than anyone else, he could carry out his threat. I can't let anything wrong happen to my beloved . He's the only one I have now, and I won't let him go either. "You should've thought

The Alpha's Golden-eyed Seer book online reading Summer Laurent could finally breathe freely, away from the hell that some called home. Carrying a secret on her frail shoulders, she managed to meander through life. However, that comes to a screeching halt when she literally collides with her boss, Dorian King. They say destinies are preordained, but is it really? *************** Hitching the backpack tightly, Summer trod towards the bus stop. She turned back to make sure that she wasn’t being followed. She hoped that they were busy enough to not follow her. She was far away from the place where she had stayed for the last 20 years. She let out a shaky breath, her heart pounding in her chest, the side of her ribs and legs ached with exhaustion. She pulled the frayed hoodie tightly around herself, stuffing her hands into either pocket as the wind picked up. A street lamp just above the bus stop flickered occasionally. People hurried on their way back home, the weather turning colder as the night darkened. As the adrenaline started to wear off, she felt herself shiver.  The last bus to Melham would arrive anytime now. Her breath came out in puffs. She reluctantly drew out her left hand from within the hoodie’s pocket and checked her watch. 5 more minutes. She rocked back and forth on the balls of her feet. The old sneakers did the least to keep her feet warm. At that moment, she almost regretted her decision of leaving, of causing such a ruckus. Oh, how she would give anything now to just slip under the warm blanket in her small attic room and just…forget everything else. She sighed wistfully. There was no way back now, not that she wished to go back as the cold air nipped on her face, her eyes watered, but whether from cold or from the incident, she didn’t know. The honk and the glare of headlights startled her. She hurriedly stood up, exhaling a shaky breath. The bus halted, and she boarded it immediately before she could let herself have second thoughts.  Getting a seat wasn’t difficult since the bus was fairly empty, save a few people. After having paid, she took one of the window seats. As the bus took momentum, her heart squeezed painfully. She wasn’t sad at leaving ’them’, but her sadness lay in leaving behind 20 years of her life. ‘You wouldn’t be able to survive even if you wanted to,’ a voice at the back of her mind snarked. She closed her eyes and leaned her head against the cold glass of the window. Tightening her hold on the backpack, she forced her mind to remain blank, willed her mind to not replay those sordid images from today's incident again and again. Her eyes fluttered open once again when she felt someone lightly shaking her. She sat up straighter, flinching away immediately — a habit that had been born out of her need to survive. The woman looked a little taken aback by her reaction. She lowered her gaze and mumbled, “Sorry, I—”  “Ah, it's okay, actually your mobile...it was ringing incessantly,” she answered reluctantly,

Hey Girl, You Deserve The World “Xie Tiansheng, what is marriage to you? Who am I to you?” “Xia Muqing, stop embarrassing yourself, you should know better that you're nothing to me!!! I wouldn't have married you if not for the sake of the Xie family!” “Alright! Is that what you wanted? You wanted a divorce, Xie Tiansheng? I will grant you your wish......” Xia Muqing forced herself to speak with a steely voice, but her voice came out trembling. “Very well! I'll see you tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.” *************** “Let's get a divorce!” Xie Tiansheng said casually as he ground out the cigarette on the ashtray. He crossed his legs and rested lazily on the sofa. He did not even bother to look at his wife, Xia Muqing whose face has ashened like all the blood has been drained from her face with her lips pursed tightly. With nothing on his sexy and muscular body but a simple white towel wrapped around his lower body, a disgusting stench permeated and lingered around the air inside the room...... That stench was coming from the semen that had leaked onto the sheets of the messy bed. However, the woman that was on the receiving end of said semen was not Xia Muqing! She did not know who was the other woman that was on the bed. But Xia Muqing's eyes were met with such a revolting scene as she entered Xie Tiansheng's office to bring him some snacks. “Who is she?” Xia Muqing questioned Xie Tiansheng with a trembling voice. Xie Tiansheng slowly lifted his gaze and met with Xia Muqing's face at long last. That man's eyes were pensive as he spoke in a dissatisfied tone. “It doesn't matter who she is. What matters the most is that we are getting a divorce!” Muqing's grip tightened around the reusable bag in her hand and was stunned for a moment. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Xie Tiansheng, what is marriage to you? Who am I to you?” “Xia Muqing, stop embarrassing yourself, you should know better that you're nothing to me!!! I wouldn't have married you if not for the sake of the Xie family!” So, the only reason he married me was because he wanted to utilize my family's influence to assist his own family? Is that why he's reluctant to caress my body even after 2 years of marriage?! That's why he wanted our marriage to be held privately without being known to the public. Muqing's hands were shaking as she could not contain her tears from falling continuously...... “All right! Is that what you wanted? You wanted a divorce, Xie Tiansheng? I will grant you your wish......” Xia Muqing forced herself to speak with a steely voice, but her voice came out trembling. Xie Tiansheng was astounded by her alacrity. He curled his sexy lips the next second and said, “Very well! I'll see you tomorrow at 9 o'clock in the morning in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau.” “I'll see you then!” Xia Muqing's fists tightened. She turned around and stepped out of the office immediately. There was absolutely not a chance that she

Lustful Hearts They say there's a fine line between love and lust. When it comes in the form of a hot, tattooed bad boy, well... you could excuse a girl from stumbling. He's my brother's best friend and he's everything I despise arrogant, cocky, player... I could go on, But he's the only guy I'll ever want. He treats me like a sister when I want to be so much more, He teases me and taunts me, not realizing his touch drives me wild. I keep my distance if only to save myself until a chance encounter at a party changes everything... *************** Thеrе was an іnѕіdе joke іn mу family that rеgаrdlеѕѕ of whеrеvеr I wаѕ, thе сhаnсеѕ mу nоѕе would bе lodged fіrmlу between the раgеѕ of a book wеrе аlwауѕ рrеttу hіgh.

Fallen From Grace book online reading Atlanta never expected to fall into those eyes that were bluer than her skies, or those arms that were warmer than the sun, but she did. She had been promised to Cael, but it was Flynt that she wanted. She knew the instant that their eyes met for that brief moment, before he morphed into his true form, that he had stolen her heart. Even as a demon, he was beautiful but he could never be hers. It was forbidden for a Dark Seraphim to have any association with the shamed Demons of Terra. For Flynt, luring a woman, any woman, was a game that he always won. It was in his nature. He was, after all, an incubus. Beauty had never been something he had considered, until he saw Atlanta. Her her. He ached for her. But he was a Demon and it was forbidden for a Demon to have any association with the shamed Dark Seraphim of Azure. *************** Sighing, Atlanta stretched her beautiful black wings and folded her arms over her chest. “Don’t pout. You look like a spoiled child, rather than a woman who has come of age. Are you coming or should I tell him that you’re being a brat?” Tyson said. “I don’t pout! Why do I even have to go, anyway? Father never expects me to attend his dinners.” Atlanta had been summoned, for the first time ever, by her Father, Azazel, the ruler of Azure.  “You do pout and you have to go because he said you do. You’re the closest thing he has to a daughter, Atlanta, and sometimes a father will want to spend time with his daughter.” “But Ty…” “Ty, nothing. It's not my decision but as your eldest and most favourite brother, I’m telling you that you have to go.” Tyson was twenty-six and older than Atlanta by three years. Reminding her of that was one of his most favourite things to do and it was becoming tedious, to say the least.  “Unfortunately for me, you’re my only brother,” she mumbled. “Can I at least change, first? Whenever he sees me in human clothing, he gives me nothing but scowls.” “There’s no time. I don’t know why you don’t just wear your robes like the rest of us do. They're so attractive." He was full of sarcasm as he swirled and fluttered his lashes. "Now, come on, squirt, and don’t dawdle.”

Some minutes thereafter, I got up to bed, promptly stood up and place on my slippers. I preferred to wash my face before eating with my parents. “Wonderful morning, Thaea.” Mom and Dad greeted me with a smile while busy chewing their own food. “Good morning, too.” I have no desire to deal with them because until now I’m not getting good at what happened. “You can go to boutique later where I embroidered a dress to you for our dinner tonight with Greige’s parents.” Mom told me with an authority but my forehead furrowed. “Why mom? Still more dress there which have not yet worn. Why did you get a new one?” I protested to her. “Thaea, what is the need for money if we will not spend and just hide it in the bank?” As my she argued. “It’s not agreeable for beautiful like you to wear outmoded clothes. You’ll meet your sister’s partner too that’s why you have to put on the best outfit the manner your twin is.” As my father agreed with mother. Almost forgotten that I supposedly pretend to be my sister. What a trouble mind. “Ok Mom and Dad.” A sign that I really admitted to what they said. After we made the conversation, they furthermore set up to prepare fixing themselves before entering the office. They kissed me on the forehead before bid a goodbye.

My best friend actually called me by that name. “You looked very serious.” She commented then. “It’s tough for being aside from my boyfriend. You are so annoying, uh!” As I pouted my lips to my best friend showing to her I am genuinely sad to this my situation. “Oh, I am sorry, just kidding. What are your plans, by the way?” She asked but I exhaled. “Of course I will impersonate as my sister, Athena.” As the response with my rolling eyes. “It’s complicated, bestie, espec
