I don't watch movies that much,but when I do,it's romance. I enjoy watching couples and their sweet love life and I used to envision myself being in love. 'it would be simple.' I thought,since I already have the perfect best friend who cares about me so much,he is perfect...well, except that he is a playboy. 'But we would work it out eventually' I thought. But my life took a different turn, nothing like the movies..... "Leave now!" "No,I won't." He hurled another bottle on the wall and the shattered sound made my heart skip,both in fear and concern. His hand was bleeding. "You are hurting yourself." My words were mere dust. The nearest glass cup was next,he grabbed it and sent it on the floor. This time,some piece got to my leg and gashed it. Tears slipped from my eye. Just a few months ago,I was just a poor unlucky girl looking for a job. Now,my life had gone beyond that,and it's not a good way ......

Chapter 1 Two worlds

1

"You are fired!"

"But......"She slammed the door in my face and I watched her go back to the counter without looking back.

Shit! I withdrew back.

Well at least she didn't break the glass door. I thought of going back to plead with her, but experience is the best teacher. When you have gone through the same process fifteen times and at fifteen different places,you'd learn to resign to your fate.

Walking over to where my ride was parked,I got on and pedaled towards home.

"Parky!" I heard a voice that I knew too well scream from a building.

I honestly hate New York city.

I held my break and looked up, as usual,she had a tiny apron strapped to her waist. "It's park shin! Park shin! How many times? Park! Shiiin!!"

She laughed.

Her family moved in last week to our street,and ever since she heard my brother yell my name one morning,she didn't fail to call me 'parky' everytime she sees me. I didn't even know her name yet.

"It's a nickname!" She screamed back. I wasn't seeing her clearly ,she was on the last floor of the building.

My mind moved from the name issue to deeper thoughts.

Why was she always free even though she was clearly at work?

How did she even get a job that easily? They just moved in.

How does she even see me everytime?

Maybe she wanted to be friends with me.

Before I could look up,she wasn't in sight anymore.

I shrugged and placed my legs on the pedal once again.

"Parky!!!" I heard again,she ran towards me.

And I thought I was the craziest one on earth...

"Where are you goi....." She stopped mid sentence, her face lit up as she looked across the road. My eyes followed her gaze.

Wow!

A very handsome guy was on display,he wore a white shirt and everything about him looked golden.

"He doesn't look real." My eyes didn't leave the billboard. My brain was too lazy to comprehend the big words that the advertisement held,but I focused on the guy. He looked angry but also composed,his expression was just difficult to read but I had never seen anyone as good looking. It was like he wasn't even trying at all but still looked stunning.

The weird girl laughed again. "That is my crush. Even though I'm dreaming and would never meet him."

"True,you are dreaming." I said and she bopped my shoulder. "What?" I found myself laughing. "Don't let your dreams be stupid like me.. we would never meet someone like that." I turned to point at the billboard but the advertisement was gone.

***WRITER***

Everywhere was dead silent,it was like everyone stifled even their breath.

"Who is in charge of PR?" His eyes didn't leave the file that he held,he spoke like every word cost a penny.

"I'm...I'm the one." A woman indicated. She was in her late thirties but could pass for a twenty year old.

Daniel's eyes were still on the file, leaving them hung in anticipation and curiosity. The manager and the woman were the most apprehensive. It would only take one negative sentence from him and their career would shake.

"The PR could use a bit more effort." He finally dropped the file and turned to the manager. "The accountant should be replaced tomorrow."

Everyone stifled their gasp as they turned to face the account whose face had gone pale instantly.

"Sir......" one look from Daniel shut him up.

Daniel stood up and walked out with a train of guards behind him.

The accountant's Shoulder sagged as he stood with others. The meeting was over and so was his job.

Nothing could be done again. Daniel Alcatel doesn't speak twice nor does he revoke his words.

***

After three more meetings in different companies,Daniel got home tired and angry.

Maids, guards and different workers bowed as he walked inside the large mansion,the stairs and then to his room. As soon as his room door was clicked shut,he eased off his tie and sent it flying.

The urge to break something was rising.

Why does he have to do this?

Why the heck does he have to be at those meetings talking to people physically?

Anger filled his throat,it was very hard to swallow. A small frame sitting on his table met with his eyes and he went numb instantly. Walking over,he lifted it and stared on. His cheat ached by mere looking and memories flooded.

If only.....

Sound of wailing siren interrupted his thoughts.

What! That could only mean one thing.

He dropped the frame gently and went to the window to look.

Shit! The anger found its way back slowly as he watched his mother get out of the car being opened by a driver.

What the hell was she doing in New York? She came back a month ago.

Tightening his teeth,he walked into his bathroom. About twenty minutes later,he got out of the shower;a towel wrapped around his waist,and just like he expected,his mother was seated on his cushion.

"Why are you here?" He just couldn't stand her.

"Apart from business classes,we also tried manners." Her face was stiff like his,impatience and strictness written all over.

Daniel just gave her a look and went for his lotion.

"I have so many things to attend to so I'd go straight to the point. You are getting married,and soon."

Daniel turned to her in shock.

She straightened her designer suit and continued. "The future of our organization is in your hands,so we have to be fast with everything. You will meet your fiance very soon." She stood up and went for the door. "Be nice to her,I didn't fly down here for nothing." She grabbed the knob and the door clamped shut behind her.

Daniel stood still for a while, trying to digest the information. He heard the siren wailing once again and then the gate being opened.

He paced back and forth, hoping to pacify the anger but each step intensified it.

A wife??

The nearest wine bottle was unlucky,he grabbed it and hurled at the wall in rage.

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

MY MASTERS

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay
4.9

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
