MISS ICE MEETS MR ARROGANT

Chapter OneRiver's POVI took a deep breath, taking in the New York air. I absolutely loved the smell of the city. It smelled like big dreams and lots of opportunities, money, and, last but not least, hot men.Tomorrow I have my life-changing case; this is going to be my big break. I have the privilege of being the counsel to a hotshot client in a million-dollar suit.Once I win as per usual tomorrow, my name will become a corporate staple. Every company would want me as their lawyer and I can't finally get the life I've worked so damn hard for.But first, I need to fuck someone tonight. I let out a breath enjoying the view of the magnificent hotel pool, my eyes scanning for my next prey. Yeah, I won't lie I've seen potential. Hot men with chiseled abs and all but I've had even better. Since this is the most important case of my life, I need to have the most passionate one-night stand of my life with the best-looking man I've ever been with.“River, you need to change your ways and

River's POVI freaking lost the case. I don't even know how I really feel, I feel utterly heartbroken. This was supposed to be the life-changing opportunity of my lifetime.Currently, I was sitting on the steps of the courthouse feeling utterly devastated.

River's POVIt's been a whole month since the humiliation Dante caused me. Honestly, after he humiliated me at the club in front of that plastic woman, I can't lie; my ego has not recovered, and I'm out to get him.He made me feel like I was disposable and nobody made a fool out of me, especially a man. Luckily, I got another hotshot client, and so far, so good I was nailing the case.But I still had a problem no matter the money, no matter the excitement I've tried to create for myself, including jumping off a plane. I couldn't get him off my mind, I needed him to fall for me.I want him crawling back to me begging then I'll throw it back in his face and reject him. That man thinks he can just make a fool out of me, over my dead body.My problem was genuinely getting access to the man, I mean, I had sighted him a few times, but I couldn't get close to him without embarrassing myself or seeming desperate.I sighed audibly, this was going to be my last desperate attempt.
