The weight of desire
Romance Layla Peterson loathes life and everything it encompasses. In a world where only the strong-hearted survive and the weak are left to fend for themselves, she always finds herself on the negative part of it. Life just couldn't give her a break even for a day, could it?
Growing up in a foster system for some yielded a lot of happy endings and memories, but definitely not for Layla. She believes that from the moment her birth parents; whoever they were; dropped her at the orphanage home when she was born, that was the onset of her suffering. Every single family she landed in either didn't like her because of her striking facial features; which consisted of a dazzling shade of chestnut brown hair and the lightest set of ocean blue eyes a child could dream of having; or they just ended up abusing her. Layla always waited patiently for the day she would finally break free from the system even when she knew there was nothing out there in the real world for her; no money, no food nor any roof over her head but she was determined to make it out. Growing up that way made her wary of ever having kids or letting people get too close to her hence it compelled her to always stay within the shadows. She did her best to make herself as unattractive as possible to blend in. The only good thing the foster care gave her was her best friend Melody, the closest thing Layla had to family. Together they broke free from the system and went into the real world fighting every battle one day at a time. Life was going as smoothly as it could be for someone with such unruly luck up until she turned 24. That was when she landed herself in an unbudgeted debt that could put her life on the line and Layla needed a desperate fix. That was when Melody stepped in, with a surreal job opportunity to waitress for an event. Not just any event but one of the most high-end exclusive events of the year that happens annually at a private island owned by the biggest business tycoon in the continent of Europe. The event was a week-long affair and the income she was banking on would be enough to pay for her debt. So she sets her sights there vowing to not get into trouble but she sure is a trouble magnet.
The event consisted of many wealthy and affluent individuals all over the continent, seeing a lot of them was something she never thought possible and due to her physical features she was always lusted after by said tycoons. She did her best to escape their gazes until a certain oil mogul cornered her and tried to make his way with her, feeling rather defeated and resigned to fate she fought against it but to no avail. Luckily for her, she had caught the eyes of a certain billionaire who lost sight of his little mouse and went in search of her. Getting there at the right time he rescued her and made hell burn over for those who hurt her. Being eternally grateful for that she offered her assistance in any way she could unbeknownst to her Damon Elores had other plans in mind.
Meet Damon Elores, the only heir to the Elores diamond corporation. He wasn't just born into the role, he was made for it. He earned his position as CEO, his father made sure of it. He owed his cold and stoic demeanor to his father's brutal upbringing so of course his hands weren't clean. Someone of such high status doesn't just get there without getting their hands dirty now do they? To those who didn't know him, he was a ruthless playboy and businessman, but to the few he let in, he was a kind-hearted man who was often misunderstood. Being as wealthy as he was attracted a lot of hungry sharks which included his ex fiancé Chanel. Although she birthed his son, he wanted nothing to do with her for reasons best known to him. He saw this week-long event as an opportunity to mingle with people of his caliber with hopes of making his father more proud but nothing could have prepared him for the petite little mouse that captured his attention. He was entrapped and enchanted by her beauty and mannerisms and was determined to make her his. He didn't know what emotion he felt towards her but he sure as hell was attracted to her. When his little mouse is in trouble he finds himself blind with rage and gets rid of her oppressor. It was at that moment he solidified what he knew for sure, that no one but him is allowed to go near her.
What does one do when the one you are trying to save doesn't want to be saved?
Layla who didn't have the time of day for a relationship unfortunately becomes drawn to this handsome billionaire but promises herself not to get close to him after all nothing good ever lasts when it comes to her. Damon so determined to win her blindly gives her a job at his corporation even at the risk of his father's wrath and it is an offer even Layla couldn't refuse.

My CEO Daddy
ELAINE MALLIN After being framed by her boyfriend and best friend, Nicole ended up spending the night with a mysterious stranger. She thoroughly enjoyed the unexpected rendezvous, but when she woke up the next morning, she couldn’t help but feel bad about what she did. All of her guilt, however, was washed away when she saw the face of the man lying next to her.
“He’s... beautiful,” she whispered, awed by what she was seeing. Her guilt quickly turned into shame, and it drove her to leave the man a bit of money before she left.
Kerr was astounded. ‘Did that woman try to pay me? Like a prostitute?’ he thought, offended. “Ask the hotel manager for the surveillance video,” he commanded his assistant authoritatively, his eyebrows furrowed. He had a determined expression on his face. “I want to find out who was in my room last night.”
‘And when I find that woman, I’m going to teach her a lesson!’

He walked to the princess with the slave collar he'd won for ten years rattling in his hand as he walked. He reached close to her and with a swift movement, he collared her neck.
Then, he tilted her chin up, staring into the bluest eyes and the most beautiful face ever created, he gave her a cold smile.
"You are my acquisition. My slave. My sex slave. My property. I will pay you in spades, everything you and your father ever did to me and my people." He stated curtly.
Pure hatred, coldness and victory was the only emotion on his face.
