Heroina Latin. Etymology of the word: Heroine.   Adrienne Miller sat in her balcony, one October afternoon. She just finished unpacking her clothes and putting all her furniture in place. Her new apartment reflected every bit of her personality. Every vase, every painting and every jar showcased her style. She felt very tired, having spent the rest of the day tidying up and decorating her new haven, but she was happy. She employed the services of an interior design team. She paid a fortune, but as she admired her white, gray and pink minimalist-designed haven, she thought that it was all worth it. Her apartment stood on the middle floor of a luxurious building in a high-end area in Manhattan, just five blocks away from her office. It was a two bedroom that had two en-suite baths, a huge balcony

Good thing, she just lived across from him. Otherwise, this escape would have become so difficult. She intended never to see him again. She would soon look like her old self, with her boring, old-fashioned style and thick glasses. He’s a snob who didn’t look down on her kind. She looked quite different last night, even she couldn’t recognize herself. She was so sure he would never remember her. She just made it easier for him to ditch her, which she believed he quite certainly would. She washed her face and soaked in a hot bath to clear her head. She stared at her own body. Almost every inch of it, had been touched by the City’s most wanted bachelor—Justin Adams. She couldn’t believe that she went so far overboard. She look

“Oh my God! It’s Jill and Yuan! My best friends!”“Honey…” Justin called gently.She ran across her bedroom to gather her clothes in panic.“Honey…” Justin grabbed her arms gently and gave her a kiss on the lips. “Good morning.” He smiled.She realized she’d been panicking. She took deep breaths to calm herself. “I’m sorry. Good morning.” She reached up to kiss him. “It’s just that my best friends are on their way up. And they will see you and they can’t…”“I know.” He kissed her forehead. “I’m going. I’ll see you later.”He crossed the hall only dressed in his pants, carrying the rest of his clothes and his shoes with him. Adrienne quickly dressed before she threw herself back into bed, waiting for her friends to ring the doorbell.After barely three minutes, Jill

She shrieked and laughed.She found him looking at her with his devilish eyes. He was half-smiling.“Didn’t it ever occur to you that I could just be holding on to the last string of whatever control and chivalry I have in my body?” he asked her wickedly.She shook her head. “Come on. Let’s go to sleep.”He shook his head. “You had that chance a minute ago, miss. You didn’t take it.”She laughed. “Please, Justin…”She watched helplessly as his face descended towards hers and he took her lips in one head-spinning kiss.Then he nuzzled her neck. She moaned in pleasure. She wrapped his arms around him and caressed his hair. He kissed her lips again. She kissed him back.They made love slowly. He caressed her. He kissed every inch of her skin. He made her feel adored… like she’s the most beautiful woman in the world.She realized that Justi

“You mean… what do you mean?” she stammered.Justin Adams couldn’t possibly be crazy about me!He looked away from her. “I’m sure this Troy character is crazy about you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be sticking around like what he’s doing now, considering you don’t see each other much.”Shit! I just ruined that perfect moment, didn’t I?It suddenly felt awkward.This is Justin Adams! Hello! Hotshot playboy who could have any woman he wants! Women who are on the A-list, even royalty!“Justin…” she started.He just stared at her for a while.“You meant…Troy, right?” She asked in a broken voice.He shrugged. “He is the current and official boyfriend, isn’t he?”What kind of an answer is that?!She gazed at him. She knew she didn’t have any right to get m
