it starts with us

"I am married!" I spat into his face. "You can't just walk in here and spew nonsense just because I am carrying your baby." His smirk returned and I realised that I made a mistake that day. That day, I thought I was getting into bed with a gentle soul. But this man in front of me has the darkest of auras. It is the kind that makes it hard to look away or slam the door in his face. So, when he took two more steps closer, I could barely move. Then, he said, "I don't care if you are married because now that I have seen you, it is a must you come with me." ~~~~~ Carrie, on the run from her impending wedding, found herself entangled in a reckless one-night stand with a mysterious and affluent stranger. Little did she know that this fleeting moment of passion would weave a fate she could never escape.

Her only mistake, is to love the wrong person. She's the daughter of a rich family. Her father gave her everything she wanted. She doesn't't know the world as the dirty place it is. And that's why she fell in love with a nothing guy. A guy with no money, no ability, not even decent respect to her. It was okay until she found him in bed with her best friend. Now, raging with revenge, she accepted a marriage deal with her nemesis.

"You look like this is the last place you want to be just because I'm here. Am I really that vile?" Timothy said nothing. Instead he gritted his teeth and shoved his hands into his pocket. Even in her anger, Chloe noticed him... Every inch of him... And his smell. She could pick out his unique scent. Rough. Masculine and mouthwateringly . It made no sense to her, but she was attuned to his every nuance. The man she had called her best friend until a dizzying series of events dissolved the title like sugar in hot water stared at her dispassionately. It was a good thing they were outside and she hoped that he couldn't see the hurt and disappointment on her face. The look wasn't just in his eyes. It seeped through every shrug, every curl of lips she had once thought were the most perfectly created set of lips on earth. She looked deeper, pathetically desperate to find something else. Something more. A reminder of those times when they would talk to each other for hours, and resume conversations the moment they saw one another again. But clearly the Tim she knew had been replaced by a harder, edgier version of a Timothy Kavell - Packard. He was hard and edgy and cynical to start off with. If she had known that he hated her this much, she wouldn't have agreed to his parents' offer to have dinner with them. She had agreed because a part of her had hoped that somehow, they would fix things and be friends again... And she was just beginning to see how wrong she had been....

"Don't you dare touch her!" She heard that voice on the first day of college when some seniors were ragging her. she was annoyed but couldn't have it anyway. "What did you say???" one of the seniors yelled at that guy. He got in front of her. Blocking her way between seniors. "Are you deaf???" he was her classmate but he can speak that was a new one. "Don't you know me??? I can make your life hell." he held her hand and was going to take her away when one of them attacked him. She got scared but he was beating them as something had gotten into him. She was standing numb and after he was done fighting they left the place. He was injured and she wanted to take her to medical but he wasn't in a mood. She got into a cab and rushed back home. She didn't even know his name. She couldn't even say thank you. she didn't realize he was going to be her destiny.

"Jake, why are you laughing?" I called out with archer brows, hesitance creeping into my voice. He looked at me, a devilish grin I haven't seen on his face in all the time we've spent together curling on those sexy lips of his,"You speak about how we're in love with so much passion, Keliegh..." he started, voice turning steely.
