ONE NIGHT OF PASSION
"All she wanted was a spark, a fire that would burn her skin. She craved passion, wildness, and insanity."
Among all the reckless things she'd done, sleeping with a complete stranger might have been the craziest. Things would have been different if she wasn’t still haunted by thoughts of the man who, for one night, brought three-fourths of her fantasies to life. Coral had given up hope, knowing that in a city of over two million people, finding a man whose face and name she didn’t know was impossible.
But then she met him again—on a blind date. Lucian Andersen, the son of one of her father’s closest friends. He was devastatingly handsome, a cold heartthrob, dangerous, and whenever he smirked, shivers danced down her spine. Her mind went blank, reeling from the shock that out of all the people in the world, it was him she had shared that wild night with in an unknown room.
The date might have been ordinary, but then the man, with an ego larger than a football stadium, said something that left her breathless. “I want to marry you, Coral Shen.” The butterflies in her belly might have danced at his proposal, but they died instantly upon hearing his true intentions. He didn’t love her. Hell, she wasn’t even sure if he liked her. But she knew one thing: the marriage proposal was purely for business.
Coral refused, but the twists of fate had other plans. Against all odds, she found herself asking him to be her fiancé.

Chapter: My GameAnticipation. What the heck does he means he will tease her, huh? Coral barely pays any attention to what Chloe is saying, because her eyes wander to the man that has his gaze pin to her. Across the room, he is there, with a glass of vodka in his skillful hand. “Coral!” Chloe's yell makes her flinch on her spot. She tears away her gaze from him and looks at Chloe. “Why don't you just go and throw yourself at him?” she taunts. “Who?”“The guy who is eye fucking you, and the one you cannot help but stare at” she points, directing her gaze towards the mysterious man. A slight shade of blush emerges on her cheeks. “Do i look that desperate?”“Yes, hun. If you want to talk to him, go ahead.”Only if she can't. Being close to him turns her mind into jelly, and she cannot tell her just what deal she has made with that guy. The region below her waist aches in desperation, because he almost left her when she was at the egde of coming. “Later. What about you? How is your cute guy gawking th

Chapter: Kiss me“What? Really?” Chloe exclaims with her eyes wide. Coral lets out a breath and rolls her eyes. “So where is he? oh my god, I am actually going to meet the man she has one night stand with” she says in a taunting tone, her palms covering her cheeks. “He left,” Coral says flatly, her tone suggesting she is annoyed. She keeps on looking around just in case she sees him. She still does not know why he left so suddenly? Did she do something wrong? Ugh! She should stop overthinking. “Huh? What do you mean he left?” Chloe asks with a frown. “That's what I am trying to understand. He just vanished in the middle of the dance.”Chloe's frown deepens at her twisted words. She takes a big chug of her martini and a small groan escapes her mouth. “So you are trying to say he is a magician who vanished in a blink? What the hell are you saying?” she scowls. Coral opens her mouth and is about to speak when her eyes catch someone. It's him. She freezes when he smirks and raises his champagne glass

Chapter: We Meet againMasquerade Cruise Party, ManhattanKelly waves her arm towards Coral and Chloe when she spots them coming up the low stairs of the cruise. With a beaming smile, she hugs both of them tightly. “Glad you make it on time.”The wind blows with force making their hair fall on their faces. Pushing her hair from her mouth, Coral asks, “When did you arrive?”“Ten minutes ago,” Kelly says with a blush. Her cheeks are rosy pink and she keeps on glancing back as if to see someone. “Found a cute guy?” Coral teases, keeping her hair in place from splattering all over her face. Kelly shakes her head with a smile as she pushes the hair behind her hair. It will be no surprise if she does and Coral thinks she should. Kelly is single for the past four years. Her previous relationship has warned her never to be in another one. Her ex not only cheated on her but also sucked all the money that Kelly had with her hard work. She was so depressed by that and decided never to trust a guy. “You both look so g

Chapter: A second date? Parking her car on the Victorian University campus, Coral makes her way to the administration office where she needs to seek some things out. On her way, she notices Shane walking in her direction and she suddenly feels tense. He stops and flashes his big smile. “Hey. Been a while.”Coral forces a smile that does not reaches her eyes. “Yeah. How are you?”“Heartbroken” he answers in a deep tone, gazing into her eyes. She looks away as his gaze makes her uncomfortable. “I was actually,” he says, the tone changes again to lighter. “I am fine now. What are you doing here, anyway?”“I am here to submit my project to Mrs. Griffin.” “For the Marine house project? Damn, you completed it already?” “Yeah. Alright, so I'll get going now. See you later” Coral says and with a smile, she brushes past him. Coral does not expect to see Shane today, or nowhere on campus at all. He looks back and finds him staring at her. That makes her a bit uncomfortable. After submitting her work, Coral goes to t

Chapter: A deal. Contract? “How was the date?” Emily asks in excitement. Right before Coral starts to speak, she notices her mother coming from the left side. Then her grandfather and later her father. Great, everyone is here. With a tight smile, she fidgets with her fingers and thinks about where to start. She only wanted to tell her father and parent but now she has to tell everyone. “Tell us, Coral. How was the date? Did you two click?” Emily urges, seeming more excited than anyone. Coral let out a nervous laugh and says, “Why don't we sit down first? Mom? Can I have a lemonade please?”Jade smiles and goes to the kitchen to make lemonade. The others amble towards the living area and take their seats. “C'mon Coral. The suspense is killing me!” Emily teases. Sometimes, Coral wishes her aunt to keep her mouth shut so as to stop annoying her. “Yes, yes I will. Let Mom come first” she makes an excuse. “By the way, Coral since you are here early, you should help me in the kitchen,” her grandfather says in hi

Chapter: The Date Part- 2Coral cannot help staring at him. How can one be this handsome, not to mention the flawless skin he had. She wonders that his body must be as good as the way he looked in the grey classy suit. Lucian cocks one eyebrow finding her staring at him. “Is there something on my face?” he ask, making her startled. Embarrassed, she shakes her head, “Err... no.” For the first time, Coral notice a small smile on his lips which made her cheeks redder. It is now his time to stare at her. Coral sips her drink while stealing glances at him. The atmosphere is awkward enough when none of them are talking. To break the ice, Coral asks, “So um, why did you agree to come to this date?” She is genuinely curious to know what his answer will be. “Family bonding, arrange marriage profits the families business. I assume you have the same reason as mine.” Coral is surprised to find that a man like him can also be forced into marriage. She nods and places her glass on the table. “I have been delaying thi
