Excerpt 
"Don't try me Apollo"Her words conveyed anger but her voice showed how much she wanted this.
Apollo held her chin, lifting her head a little."Or else?"he asked with a smirk.He didn't comprehend why he was enjoying this.Fine, because making her fall for him was easy than expected but it felt like he wanted this and he didn't comprehend this feeling.
His closeness made her heart pound so fast.She felt her chicks turn red.Stella looked away and struggled to free herself from his grip.
"Just..leave me alone"She said.
"What if I say I won't?"Apollo asked with a grin ."Just admit it Stella, you want me"He added.
That he said was true but she was too stubborn to accept it . Love was not on her menu.
"Dream on"
Finally she removed her had from his and walked pass him, catching her breathe.Then, suddenly he pulled her by the waist .
They were close to each other and their lips were a mere inch away.This was the best chance for Apollo to do what he wanted from the first day he set his eyes on her.....To kiss her.
They both stared at each other's lips.
"You better be ready for this."Apollo said.
"W—what—"She felt his lips connected to to her.

MISSION: Make her fall for me

As Stella Cruze walked away from the altercation with the attractive gentle man ,she felt a mixture of anger and intrigue in her mind.She was angered by his audacity to demand an apology from her but at the same time she was attracted to his confidence and beauty.

He was her type of guy in every way. Body, height, tattoos,hair and on top of it all beauty was on point...just like how she wants her guy..But she was angered by his character.

He had the brass neck to insult her?!Did he know who she was?

She was a confident, independent woman who didn't need any help from her psycho mom.

She wasn't her mom....she was nothing like her.

Stella Cruze sat and crossed her legs, wondering why Mr Jones was delaying.What was she even doing here in the first place?! Stella was the one to always work on stuffs concerning the Cruze Empire while Magdalene Cruze just went around being a Suger mommy to guys young enough to be her sons. She was even the one supposed to be in Gang, the club, convincing Mr Jones to sign the contract but she said she wasn't feeling well.Stella knew it was a lie. She know her mom was probably hooking up with one of those guys who were Stella's age, spending money unnecessarily on them or just having fun.

Stella sighed.Her day was already ruined and she wasn't ready to think about love —the curse that ruined her family.

Today was meant to be a good day since she knew Mr Jones would sign the contract without any hesitation.Who could resist Stella's charms? But, her day was ruined by that alluring yet attractive young man.

Stella Cruze sat up when she saw a middle aged man walking up to her.She forced a smile as the man sat before her.He smiled back."Mr Andy Jones.Right?"She asked.

"Of course."He said and stretched out his hand for a handshake.Stella didn't really fancy handshakes but disinclined, she place her hand in his."Miss Magdalene Cruze, I didn't expect you to look this young".

"You wish...."She took her hand from his from his."I'm her daughter.Stella Cruze."She added.

"Oh.... Okay.Um....Miss Stella Cruze....we should talk about this over a wine.What do you think?"He asked,his gaze remained on her pretty face."As you wish "She simply stated.

"Hey!"He called the waiter."Two wines please"The waiter nodded and left."Mr Andy Jones, and I wouldn't like to waste my time and yours.So I would like to begin with the main purpose of our meeting today."Stella said.

"Oh.My time?No, not at all.But you can go on, I'm all ears."Mr Jones ended his sentence with a wink and Stella almost gave him an eye roll but kept her cool.

"The Cruze Empire as you know is one of the best in financial ranking.We have proven track record of success and a commitment to excellence in every thing we do."She began.

"Okay."He said and sipped his wine ,as he stared at her without looking away, making her feel a bit  discomforting. "So , Mr Jones,our company is good and is number two on the best sales in this country.With your company providing us with the gold, you'll have access to our cutting edge manufacturing capabilities and our team of talented designers who are committed to creating exceptional jewelry.Together we can reach new heights.You just need to sign this and achieve money like water"She ended her sentence with a wink and her brown eyes locked with his dark ones as she sipped her wine.

He smirked."Well, okay. Your speech was good and everything shows that it is no lie.We all know about your Empire's wealth and sales.The Empire also owns a lot of hotels and beauty shops so,well, I'll sign it.Pen?"

Stella smirked."Pen."She place the pen on the table still making eye contact and as he also took it he stared at her.

Mr Jones signed it up and Stella Cruze smirked.She was used to getting what she wants at all cost.
