⠀⠀𝓐RIA DEANGELIS.
⠀⠀ Mere mention of her name is enough to send hordes of men bowing to the ground; the closest thing to a goddess Hollywood has ever seen.
⠀⠀ Hailing from a diamond—lined parentage born on the silver screen and gifted with the beauty, talent and charm of the divine; she has been in the limelight for as long as she can remember.
⠀⠀ Aria lives by three rules, and three rules only. One; it's family over everything, two; you always have to look out for number one, and three; temptation, wit and a spritz of Chanel No. 5 is the infallible recipe to getting absolutely anything she wants.
⠀⠀ She is unashamed to manipulate men and women alike into doing her bidding, to tread on her compatriots when seizing the finish line, to scheme, seduce and saunter her way through life without so much as a single bat of a perfectly curled eyelash.
⠀⠀ After all, when you're Aria DeAngelis, the world lies in the palm of your hands.
⠀⠀Until you meet LaMelo Ball.
⠀⠀ LaMelo Ball is many things; a lover, a fighter, an unashamed loudmouth, the rising star of the NBA, Los Angeles' coveted golden child — but, most importantly, the only man able to resist the once thought to be irresistible charm of Aria DeAngelis.
⠀⠀ After a night of shattered expectations, weeks of temptation, wits and Chanel No. 5 with only one objective in mind, Aria finds herself not only growing frustrated with LaMelo's unbreakable wall of apathy, but determined to send it crumbling to the ground.
⠀⠀ You would expect most Gods to hail from the sky, on the golden thrones of Olympus. And maybe that's what they were — cruel and fickle, passionate and vindictive, luxurious and untouchable; humanity's very own young Gods prepared to take the world by storm.
⠀⠀ The tantalising Hollywood dream and the bull-headed golden boy; it is a battle of allure, strategy and perception. But the longer they spend with horns interlocked in the clouds, the more and more human they begin to appear.
⠀⠀ Because, when all is said and done, even the mightiest of Gods bow to the power of love.
𝓣his is what you learn from taming snakes:
⠀⠀ i. soon, they become your dearest friends
⠀⠀ ii. you grow immune to every kind of poison;
this is what becomes of you when death takes your love:
⠀⠀ i. your grief twists inside your gut till
⠀⠀ you cannot breathe
⠀⠀ ii. you grit your teeth and smile through
⠀⠀ the tragedy;
and this is what happens when they deny you the crown:
⠀⠀ i. you swallow the world
⠀⠀ ii. you devour the stars
⠀⠀ iii. you make them bleed
you make them bleed.
⠀⠀you make them bleed.
the making of the evil queen, nikita gill

━━ 𝓓ISCLAIMERS
this book will contain explicit language and
themes, including the consumption of various
intoxicating substances and the occasional
mention of sexual activities, though not to
an overly graphic extent.
this is entirely a work of fiction and i do
not intend for the actions and behaviour of
any characters to directly reflect upon their
respective face claims or real life counterparts.
author's note,
i've poured my heart and soul into planning this plot
for the last week, and i'm so excited to see it come
to life and for all of you to finally read it! 👩❤️💋👩
