Precious_1

Cheated on by her fiancé weeks before their wedding, Sara, vowed to never love again. Men could not be trusted, especially with a woman's heart. She had made the mistake once, and that was more than enough for her. Never again would she make the same mistake to give her heart to another. 

But her resolve began to waver when she came across her new boss, Alexander Legend, a man whose reputation in his expertise and ruthlessness in business preceded him. Respected and feared by many, but to Sara, he was an annoying pest she wished she never met. Too persisted for her liking yet, she finds herself falling, slowly melting in his presence. Getting used to his stolen kisses and hugs and sometimes anticipating them.

Excerpts


“You will fall for me, Sara. One day, I'll have your heart too,” Alex drawled. His voice had a seductive allure that had her heart racing. The fact that his hand was leisurely resting around her waist didn't help her either.

“Try as much as you want to,” despite her body begging for his touch, Sara was determined to reject him today and any other day. She couldn't make the same mistake again. “You won't succeed in your seduction. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.” 

Alex smirked, kissed behind her ear and her body trembled, much to his satisfaction. That was all he needed to keep purising the stubborn woman in his arms right now. “We shall see, Miss Ambrose,” he cooed and then released her. He returned to his seat and asked in a professional tone. “What is my schedule for today?”

Melting Her Cold Heart

At Opulent Oaks, Sara slowly opened her eyes, and a dimly lit room greeted her. Her brows pulled together as her eyes scanned the room and recognized immediately.

As she tried to sit up, she felt a pang on her head and winced, hissing, and her hands shot up to her head, but she still sat down anyway.

She looked at her side and smiled, seeing Alex beside her. His brows were pulled together, and his posture seemed uncomfortable with his chin resting on his knuckles. It was obvious that he had just dozed off and that, too, against his will.

"I am sorry I made you worry," she said while brushing some stray strands of hair off his face. Her touch, although light and feathery, still woke him up as he looked at her. He seemed to not believe it at first, but then, she smiled. "I am fine now," she said to assure him.
