Double fire🔥 by _queenziraa

She breathes fire 🔥 He breathes fire🔥 The word 'detest' isn't enough to describe what these two have for each other. Some say respect is reciprocal, but not when two blaring fire clash. She is free in her wildness, she is a wanderer. She knows nothing of borders and cares nothing for rules or customs. 'Time' for her isn't something to fight against. Her life flows clean, with passion, like fresh water. She was a wild and crazy one; always stomping on eggshells that everyone else tip-toed on. She held fire in her eyes. She was fierce, and strong, and full of fire, and that not even she could hold herself back because her passion burned brighter than her fears. They all saw her as an angry person, but why bother explaining to them, when sadness and grief engulfs your heart, it turns into anger. What happens when she cross paths with an arrogant,short tempered and egoistic man? He isn't one to lose, he gets whatever he wants when he wants it. His mind is clouded with nothing but success. He has a heart, but doesn't know how to use it, he doesn't know what it's meant for other than family. It's small, but it's there. He does more and says less. Sabrina Adila Khaleed Farooq Khaleed "Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting."

A serial killer picking off students one by one. In this world, failure is not an option. Survival means navigating deadly secrets, deadly people, and deadly truths. Because in the world of the elite, the most dangerous thing Denise can be-is unprepared.

As if he was aware of being followed, Henry increased his pace further. He got to the elevator while I quickly rushed and slid in before the elevator closes, leaving just the both of us inside the box that felt small because of how intense the atmosphere was. "Why are you a pest?" "I'm your bodyguard. Of course I'm like a human pest." I just couldn't hold it in me. His arrogance was just too much. "Did you just talk back at me?" Henry turned to me, his nose flaring up in anger. "You're fired." ______ Hope is a very beautiful girl, well atleast that's what she tells herself. But being beautiful isn't all there is knowing money ruled the world. Spotting a job with a hundred thousand naira seems like a 'too good to be true' phase to Hope. And it proved her point when her eyes sets in on the pronoun. He/him. Much bad news surfaces when she realizes such pronoun suits the job perfectly. Being a body guard. Hope being the hustler she sets herself to be isn't going to let a gender stop her as she finds means on making the opportunity work in her favour. They say, nothing a man won't do for money. Especially when being strapped. Right now, Hope is the definition of STRAPPED.
