Noah rubbed his temple and remarked, "So I see you're growing close with him." Dixie could tell he was tense as the clothing fit him well and his eyebrows were furrowed.
"You're not allowed to do that," she said "We're not in a relationship." She spat and slapped the papers on the desk, saying, "You're fucking someone else."
"We didn't fuck, how many times do I have to tell you that? Tell me you haven't messed with him or you haven't been on a date?" He leapt to his feet and took a step forward, pushing her into the corner. She remained still. "Exactly, don't lecture me about it when you're doing it yourself."
"Whatever, is that the reason you've been ignoring me?" You don't have the fucking right to tell me what to do, whether you're my boss or not. You want me some days and don't want me other days. Make up your fucking mind before I leave," he stood there silently, enraged by her tone and thinking about the words she uttered..
Dixie, the ideal woman to everyone else, yet everything was wrong with her. She hides behind the mask of being a flawless girl, despite her deep hatred for herself and her image. Men were never an issue for her because they were continually falling at her feet, lusting for her. The impending internship with Noah will completely transform her life but for the better or worse? On the other hand, Noah is regarded as a sex icon. A possessive, dominant, sage, arrogant, well-behaved and well-dressed businessman who owns the largest firm in New Your City, Beck Telecommunications Limited. What will happen when the two worlds encounter, with both containing stubbornness, want, desire, lust, and perhaps even a little framework for love and passion? With him, everything appears to be in proportion...but is there anything different beneath the surface? Will the secrets she worked so hard to bury and forget surface when the two meet? Will he succumb to the shadows of his past?
Dixie D'Amelio, now in her final year of college, is at a loss—a loss for love, passion, wrath, violence, and more. Her life changes when she meets Noah Beck, an attractive, affluent, and sadistic man. A big problem lies between them: He's her teacher. She's his student.
Love and deep feelings will inevitably get in the way, but they try to resolve and keep it to a minimum. What will happen when they embark on an expedition to learn more about sadomasochism?
Secrets are difficult to keep, dangerous to know and even more reputation shredding to hold, but is this one worth keeping?
Since the beginning of the year, Jasmine Morris and her best friend had been planning a trip. What could be better than limitless food, white sand beaches, beautiful skies, tropical climate, and sunshine? In her book, nothing compares to it. When Sarah abruptly cancels because her mother becomes unwell and has no one to care for her, her plans are utterly upended. Rowan James, a senior photographer at Hall & Gen Photography, overheard their private conversation and offers to stand in for Sarah. Their inability to get along is the sole problem.
Since she began working at the photographic studio, he has been treating her adversely, and she fights back like nothing. They both despise each other's arrogance and power, but they impulsively decide to go the holiday together despite their dislike for each other. Two people who hate each other more than anything else, staying in a city for a month of summer, there can only be one possible ending: the worst summer ever.
All she knew was pain. Her past struggles, traumas, and concussions were a permanent part of every stage of her existence. Although not hers, home is supposedly a place of comfort. A mother who is too egotistical, a father who treats his children badly, siblings to look after, and little sense of independence. She had no idea how she was going to make it, but he was there to help her, albeit the weights were constantly harder.
He's someone she shouldn't want. One she's to stay away from. One she's to leave alone not only because it's dangerous but because he's older. He's not for her. He's a distraction, a form of temptation but that made her want him to even more. Those who don't hear, will definitely feel but she didn't heed this warning, because the sole thought of "I couldn't possibly go through much more" was singing in her brain.
Years have passed, and she's still stuck. Decisions have been made, consequences to actions have been given and now she's on her own with responsibilities to bare.
Addiction. Depression. Anxiety. Mental Disorders. Lack of self. Sex. And Total Shortcomings. Her fate, her destiny and her life.
This will either be the best struggle she went through, or a good tale to tell in her memory.

Happiness was a factor for him. An overbearing mother. A strict father and a close knitted bond with siblings. Home was a place he looked forward to, and through it all he felt alone. It is said that wealth is the greatest pleasure but it's also the greatest sun. His family was rich, exceeding rich, they were known— too known but he wanted to be different. He wanted to be simple. He didn't want this life but he couldn't complain because as his mother always said, "there's someone else who has it worse than you do."
As the years passed, the wealth and flashy lifestyle consumed him. The loss of those dear to him. The endless partying. The parades of women. The domination. High taste for sex. But nothing could quench that endless thirst he had.
But then he saw her. She was everything at just the first sight but she was too meaningful to him. She's someone he shouldn't look at. A person he should stay away from but temptation is his favorite flavour.
