I could handle it myself," Jade protested. "Really? I wonder what you had done to them, for so many men to be chasing after you right now." His calm cool voice breezed into her ears, sending chills down her spine at how lovely his voice could be. "Not your business. Why do you keep coming after me? Who are you? I do not know you." She raised her head, so she could look at his eyes to be sure he wasn't going to lie. A terrible mistake she made as her eyes came in contact with those sexy lips that would capture a girl's heart at once. His eyes melted a little at the sight that captivated him. Taking his gaze back up, he took in what he could of her beauty and felt he was been drowned in. "So pretty." "Huh?"

*Dark Romance* "Search the name, Angelo de Alassandro." He said. Now she was doubtful why would she have to search his name? She did it and the search was normal; it was like searching for any other business man. But a few caught her attention. 'Angelo de Alassandro linked with the underworld. 'De Alassandro associated with the recent gun fire.' 'Another body found inside a dumpster, to be linked with the de Alassandro group.' The links did not stop. They more she scrolled down the more she read and the more gut twisting they got. She did not know how to react with the situation especially when the man who was supposedly linked with them was sitting right next to her. She was reading them with so much attention that she did not notice Angelo standing behind her. He was enjoying her reactions and her curiosity to read more. He bent down to her ear causing her breath to be hitched. He leisurely stroked her face and pushed a strand of her hair behind her ear. "Do you think that can be rumours?" Calmly he spoke in her ear. "They could be," She spoke diplomatically. He chuckled, "well, they are not." He confirmed. (I don't stand for abuse but I need to show it for the development of my characters.)At nineteen, Ella Thompson had everything a young woman could want: wealth, beauty, and a prestigious family name.

Ella wakes up six years in the past, just a few weeks before her twentieth birthday. Armed with knowledge of how her life unraveled, Ella has a chance to change everything. What Ella hadn't anticipated was him. Alexander Giovanni Sterling

Für dich, mein Liebling, würde ich die Berge spalten, das Meer teilen und die Erde in Aufruhr versetzen, nur um dich zu haben." - - - - - In jeder Liebesgeschichte gibt es immer eine rachsüchtige und bösartige Verlobte, die mit dem reichen und gut aussehenden CEO verlobt war, der sich in die arme, aber sanfte und unschuldige Hauptdarstellerin verliebt hat. In seiner Gier nach ihrer Liebe brach er seine arme Verlobte, deren Liebe sie an den Rand des Wahnsinns trieb. Niemand kümmerte sich je um die Gefühle der Verlobten. Zhao Lifei wurde ihr ganzes Leben lang darauf vorbereitet, einen Mann zu heiraten, aber plötzlich wurde sein Herz von einer anderen erobert. Sie wurde geohrfeigt, zerstört und verleugnet, weil sie Zheng Tianyi liebte. Sie war bereit, ihre Jugend, ihre Zeit und ihr Herz für diesen Mann zu opfern, aber alles, was sie bekam, war Schmerz und Verzweiflung. Es dauerte zwei harte, aber erweckende Jahre, bis Zhao Lifei die Fehler, die sie in der Vergangenheit gemacht hatte, endlich verstand. Nach ihrer Erlösung war es nun an Zhao Lifei, eine Liebe zu erleben, die größer war als die der Hauptdarstellerin. Zhao Lifei war klüger, kämpferischer und geistreicher und wusste, wie man in der grausamen, verräterischen und rauen Gesellschaft der Oberschicht überleben konnte. "Ein betrügerischer Verlobter, der mir das Herz gebrochen hat? Scheiß auf ihn, ich finde einen reicheren!" "Alle meine Freunde haben mich verlassen? Egal, ich werde bessere finden!" "Meine Eltern haben mich verstoßen? Das ist in Ordnung, mein Großvater ist reicher und mächtiger als sie beide zusammen!" Das genaue Gegenteil des schnippischen Zhao Lifei war der unglaublich reiche und mächtige, aber unbarmherzig kalte Yang Feng. Yang Feng, der König des Wirtschaftsimperiums, war ein Mann, den man fürchten musste. Ein Herz aus Eis, Augen aus Stein, unbarmherzig, aber verführerisch gut aussehend, gab es keinen einzigen Menschen auf dieser Welt, der es wagte, ihn zu beleidigen. Viele haben es versucht, aber keiner hatte es geschafft, seine Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen. Das heißt, bis sein Weg unerwartet mit Zhao Lifei zusammenstößt. Es wird zu Herausforderungen kommen, das Chaos wird beginnen, und es wird ein Drama geben. Aber was ist schon eine Liebesgeschichte ohne Unruhe? Man sagt, Liebe ohne Konflikte sei nur eine einfache Schwärmerei, und die Geschichte von Zhao Lifei und Yang Feng war alles andere als das. - - - - - Status des Romans: Abgeschlossen.

The day she died was the day she finally realized that her detachment and cowardice were her biggest mistakes. That those were the reasons she lost everything. "If time will turn back its hands, I will no longer just watch. I will return everything in its rightful places. I will control my own fate." These were her thoughts as the reel of her life played, as the poison coursed in her body reminding her of her incompetence, of her inaction, burning all of her resistance and detachment. And then she opened her eyes once more. She was back. This time she will make sure that she won't lose anything or anyone. Including a certain smiling devil who is really good at kissing. --------------------- This is an Original story and not a translation.

Credits to the source.It hurts, doesn't it?" he murmured, his voice a dark caress that sent a shiver down her spine. Amelia nodded, her eyes never leaving his as she felt the wetness between her legs grow even more. With a smug smile, Enzo's hand moved from her thigh to cup her left breast, his thumb flicking over the nipple. It was a gentle touch, almost soothing after the sting of his slap. But she knew it was a prelude to something more. He leaned over her, his hard length pressing against her thigh. She felt a thrill of fear and anticipation. This was it the moment she'd been dreading and craving all at once. He reached for his belt, unbuckling it with a smoothness that spoke of experience. Her eyes widened as he freed his cock, standing tall and proud before her. It was thick and long, a stark contrast to the tenderness of his earlier touch. She knew what was coming, and she was both scared and excited. "Look at me, Amelia," he whispered, his eyes dark with need. She met his gaze, her breath shallow and uneven. He positioned himself between her legs, his hand guiding himself to her entrance. Her body tensed as she felt the tip of his erection against her. "Relax," he murmured, his voice soothing despite the intensity in his eyes. "This will only hurt for a moment."
