"You've become so damaged that when someone tries to give you what you deserve, you have no idea how to respond." He says taking a step closer to me.
I frown. "So, it's my fault? That I'm to blame for being damaged?"
"No, it's not your fault at all, but it is your fault for believing you don't deserve better. That you don't deserve to be happy." Nathan looks away from my eyes, inhaling. "Maybe the little things that you consider your weakness are actually the things that people treasure most about you. Maybe you hate that you care too much...or that you wear your heart on your sleeve. But seriously, some people think that's the best damn thing about you. We all have different little things that make up who we are, we don't need to change those things, but we can choose who we share them with."
"What are you saying?"
Now so close to me, he places his palm on my cheek, and whispers. "You're treasure, Madison...I hope you realize that."

"You have everything you ever wanted. I show you I love you, I tell you everyday too. Moneys not a problem, you have no spending limit. I don't understand. I give you everything!" He muttered angrily, slurring over his words but by now he'd sober up enough for me to make out what he was saying clear enough. I opened my mouth to speak but before I could say anything he beat me to it, "I give you everything. Don't I? Are you not happy?,-" he turned around, his eyes locking with mine. They were red and full of tears, it broke my heart seeing him this way. "Or is it not enough? Am I not enough?" his voice was cracking, and a single tear slid down his cheek. He quickly wiped it away and snuffed his nose, blinking the remaining tears away, his expression going cold. "and this is how you repay me.-" he scoffed, "-I can't believe you, you whore! Get out of my house! Now!"He yelled in a tone I'd only heard him use towards those he despised or worked for him. I couldn't believe this was happening. I quickly wiped the tears that were fogging up my vision and walked towards him. I extended my hand to touch his shoulder, but before my hand could even get near him he grabbed my wrist, harshly. "Nate please, let me talk!" I begged, looking into his emerald eyes filled with anger, pain, and hatred. "I said GET OUT!" He screamed jerking me towards the door, his hold on my wrist was tight making me wince. I felt something trickle down my arm reminding me of my gash from earlier. "Nathaniel stop your hurting me." I dug at his hand with my nails using my free hand trying to loosen his hold. He let go of my wrist and opened the door in front of us. -- One random night, Lilians life turns upside down after she's accused of adultery.

A city love like no other. Enter the world of Alecx and Tristan, brought together by fate, only to be separated by unexpected circumstances. Will there be a second chance for them when they meet again 9 years later? A story about chasing dreams, friendship and love.... "A love story that will make you swoon. Definitely a fun, entertaining and feel-good read. " - A Reader's Comment Excerpts: 1) I saw her hug one of the guys in that department and kissed him on the cheek. I don't really deal a lot with our employees. I am mostly either inside my office or in the boardroom conducting meetings, so I do not even know who this guy she is smitten with. Just seeing her do that caused a twinge of jealousy inside me. I barely know this girl and yet, she is making me feel something I have not felt before. 2) I gave him a dagger look and tried to get away from his hold, but he did not let me. Instead, he put both his arms around my waist and pulled me closer to him. Our faces are just inches away from each other. He was looking at me intently. My heart is beating so fast. I feel like I am going to melt from his gaze. "I am just messing with you. I am sorry. Forget about what I said. Just dance with me. For old time's sake." He smiled at me. I continued to look him straight in the eyes. "Why did I ever leave this amazing man in front of me?" I asked myself regretfully. I set aside all my inhibitions and placed both my arms around his neck. Even just for tonight, I will enjoy this moment. I rested my head on his shoulder and nuzzled my face on his neck. I hope we can stay like this forever.Complete

My eyes widened at his answer and I covered my eyes with my hands quickly and stepped a few steps away from him and hit my back with the glass window. I heared his laugh around me.

"No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?"

Fixing Celia
They say betrayal never comes from your enemies. I used to think that was just something people said to feel better about their broken hearts. Until mine shattered too. The night it happened, everything changed. I lost my best friend. I lost my boyfriend. But worst of all... I lost myself. It's funny how a single moment can split your life into before and after. Before, I was the girl who believed in love, in loyalty, in forever. After, I was the girl standing in the ruins of what used to be her world, gasping for air, screaming into the silence, wondering why. Why me? Why now? Why them? So, I ran. Packed what was left of me and left the pieces behind-what else could I do? I moved cities. Moved in with my cousin. I told myself I needed a break, a fresh start. I told myself I wasn't looking for anyone. I was here to rebuild, quietly, carefully. Just me and the pain that still lived under my skin. But then... I saw him. At the club. Dark suit. Brooding eyes. Hands in his pockets like the world bowed at his feet. He didn't just walk in; he owned the room. The kind of man who didn't need to speak to be heard. I didn't know his name. I didn't know his story. But I felt his eyes on me like a touch that burned. He was power. He was danger. He was everything I told myself to avoid. But as fate would have it, the man who never chased anyone... noticed the broken girl who stopped believing in love. And maybe-just maybe-he'd be the one to help me believe again. This is the story of how I broke... And how he found every shattered piece.
