Stevy Liura · Ongoing · 222.0k Words
Introduction
"You, lecherous man! Are you not satisfied with destroying my house? So, you took my virginity?"
"Confess it! You purposely held your house to block our project, then now you're tricking me to sleep with you. What's your real intention, huh? Who paid you?"
Max Evans, the successful and handsome young CEO, accused her of being a messenger woman.
What happened next? Could Gabriella earn the CEO's trust? Or even his heart and love? Would those people realize that they were both framed?
Chapter 1
Have you ever been tired of facing this life?
Every day, the weight on the shoulders becomes heavier. Even so, your feet must keep walking because time has no mercy to anyone who is weak.
That was how a girl in her little house felt. Whenever the sound of building debris was heard approaching, she would press the piano keys with more vigor. When the noise was louder, she turned the volume control knob almost to the maximum. Nothing in the world could stop her from playing the piano, except for the ringing of the bell for the fifth time.
“Aaargh! Who else is that? When will they stop bothering me?"
With heavy and fast steps, she approached the door.
"What's wrong?" she asked fiercely.
The handsome figure outside the door blinked. However, a second later, the man's cute smile curved perfectly.
"Good afternoon, Miss Gabriella," he said pleasantly.
The girl furrowed her brows observing the strange man who was suspicious.
Well-groomed black hair, long white shirt in the middle of a hot day, and shiny loafers on the toes. The man had to be a Quebracha Company employee who was sent to win Gabriella's heart.
“Do they think my decision can be changed because of a handsome boy? Tch, what a superficial idea!"
The girl thought with one corner of her lip twitching faintly.
"If you want to persuade me to sell this house, sorry ... I'm still not interested. Please tell your boss to stop bothering me and this house. You will only waste time and energy."
The girl pulled the door without further ado, but the man spontaneously held the door with his strong arms. The host's eyes widened at the unexpected courage.
"What?" The girl asked while pushing the door so it didn't open any wider. She was afraid that the stranger would force his way into her house.
"I come here not for that." A sweet smile was shown again through a narrow gap.
"So what?" Gabriella frowned at the unexpected guest.
"Since you refuse to sell this house, our company wants to negotiate."
“Negotiating? What's the difference with persuading?"
"Of course it's different. Therefore, please let me step in and explain it in detail."
The girl bit her lower lip and gave a sneer. However, the man in front of her didn't change his expression at all.
"You really want to enter this house?" Gabriella asked testing his guts.
"Yes." The man nodded without the slightest bit of worry.
After considering it for a moment, the host let out a faint sigh and nodded slightly.
"All right, come in."
The door was finally opened.
"Thank you." The handsome man still curved his sweet lips. Even to the point where he sat on the sofa, his hospitality was still radiant.
"Have a drink," the host said as her hands put down a cup of coffee and a glass of water. The corners of her lips were rising as well.
"Thank you, Miss. So, I'm Max from Quebracha Company."
“Yes, I already know,” Gabriella said with pursed lips.
"Already know?" The man raised his eyebrows.
The girl nodded confidently.
"Yes, who else could disturb the peace of my life if it's not employees of the Quebracha company?"
The man's tense expression suddenly turned sweet again.
"Okay. I apologize for your inconvenience."
Gabriella only shrugged briefly.
“Before I start explaining, I want to make sure. Are you sure you still don't want to sell this house even if you are offered four times of the price?”
The girl took a deep breath and answered, "Yes."
"Are you sure you will still be comfortable living in this house if our company project is already underway?"
"Yes."
"Even though tall buildings surround your house?"
Gabriella looked down and pinched the bridge of her nose.
"Didn't you mention that your presence is not to persuade me?" she protested in lazy tone.
"Yes, indeed. I just want to make sure," the CEO explained in a relaxed way.
After one blink, he placed a folder on the table. "In that case, you must have no objection to signing this letter."
Gabriella read the document with furrowed brows. "Statement letter?"
“That you don't mind if our project goes on. You will not make any protest or report to the media."
Unconsciously, the girl gritted her jaw.
"So, your company really has to turn this environment into urban areas?" she muttered in a trembling voice.
“We will not touch your house, including the yard and fence. We will only build at the safe distance."
Suddenly, Gabriella snorted and lowered her head.
“How do I know that you will not intrude on this house? The points you mentioned earlier are not written in this letter. Your company can be cheating."
"What kind of cheating do you mean?"
The girl's forefinger suddenly shot up.
"Wait a minute! Let me put the points your company must meet into a list. Please enjoy this coffee while waiting.”
Without wasting a moment, Gabriella walked through a door.
As soon as the host left, the man's eyes began to roam freely. All the portraits hanging on the wall were closely watched, likewise with the trophy displayed on the glass shelf in the corner of the room. A spontaneous cynical exhale escaped his mouth.
"Who is this girl?"
Max continued to observe the piano peeking in the next room. His observation only stopped when the cell phone in his pocket vibrated.
"How is it, Mr. CEO? Do you still not believe that woman is unique?" Max smiled crookedly as he read the message from his private secretary.
"Tch, what's unique? In fact, I am increasingly suspicious that this woman was bribed by our business competitors," the CEO replied without thinking twice.
Then, is it true that she looks like an angel? I heard that Gabriella is so enchanting."
A direct sigh escaped Max's mouth.
"Hm? Enchanting?" he muttered as he looked back at the photo of little Gabriella with her parents.
"Not at all," the man sighed as he reached for the cup.
As soon as the warm coffee entered his mouth, the man's eyes almost jumped out. A second later, the black liquid that should have been swallowed was poured back into the container.
"Geez! Why is it so spicy?"
Without hesitation, the CEO took the other glass. Before he had time for the water to wet his throat, the sound of water gushes could be heard.
"Yuck ... How salty!"
As his hand's wiping his lips and chin with a handkerchief, the man looked around for the kitchen.
"I need water," he thought while breathing through his open mouth.
Unfortunately, all the doors he lead to were locked tight. Instantly skyrocketing resentment overturned patience.
"That girl ... how dare she make fun of me!"
As his hands clenched tightly, Max knocked on Gabriella's door.

The rejected white luna
Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.

Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.

One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.

My mate began watching me.
Protecting me.
Holding me whenever I fell.
Looking at me like he was terrified of losing me.
If he hated me...
Why did he keep risking everything for me?
