"You're crazy. But I love you" He said to her.
**
She swore to never have anything to do with Socialites again. They were all backstabbing bastards and womanizers.
She also found it difficult to believe that anyone was actually going to love her for who she truly was...
Well, until Muchen came into the picture.
He got attracted to her the very first time he saw her two years ago.
It was the first time he saw a girl looking like a gangster. She had even beat up his cousin's bodyguards in front of him. And for the first time also, he allowed someone bully his dear cousin.
After cunningly have her work for him two years later, she pretended like it was their first meeting since she didn't want her employer to see her as troublesome.
'This is going to be fun' He thought.
The more he knew her, the more he got curious about her. But Sara didn't want anyone to ever find out about her past. Especially Mr Li.
**
"Mr Li. I think...I know you like me and I'm kind of flattered that you do. But I... I don't like you that way" Sara tried to convince Li Muchen and herself. She had to put a boundary between them now before things become more complicated.
He looked at her with an unreadable expression and took a step closer to her. "Its either you don't know it yet, or you know it but you're pretending. You do like me that way" He said in a low voice.
"Mister... Mister Li. You are my employer" She tried to focus as she couldn't stand his gaze.
"So should I fire you?" He asked.
"I didn't say that." She panicked. "What I am saying is.. is.." She stuttered
"Heya is like a sister to me. Which makes you like a brother to me"
Muchen moved even closer to her and smiled.
"You are getting something wrong Sara Wang. I..only have...one sister"
And with that said, he covered the remaining distance between them and locked his lips with hers. It was soft, it was gentle.
Sara's breath stopped. So did Muchen's. He had not actually intended to do that.
Sara's stomach tightened. Her heart raced. She really couldn't process what was going on right now.
He pulled away slightly to gauge her reaction. Her eyes were wide open but her focus was on his face.
He smiled at her and was gradually lifting his head when he felt her soft hands which had been by her side, around his neck. He was startled when he felt her pull him back towards her. This time, She initiated the kiss.
Me: Probably a sisterly kiss..lol
Sara Wang is never going to be Li Muchen's sister.

All she wanted was to convince Qin Zhan, a well-known patisserie, to join her in her new restaurant. But, everyone who she had sent returned with bad news: Rejected!
Rumor has it that Qin Zhan quit life as a reputable chef to stay in the small town and run a small noodle stand. No matter how much anyone offered to hire him, Qin Zhan had rejected every one. No! That man would not even hear a word before he showed everyone to the door.
Since everyone she sent returned with no good result, Gu Xin Ye had no other choice but to do everything herself! Just as Gu Xin Ye thought that she will be able to convince Qin Zhan with her persuasion skill and charm, a misunderstanding led her to work for Qin Zhan instead, as his helper!

Ana’s hands quivered when the chair she sat on was pulled over and the man leaned closer, almost towering over her while she sat on the chair.
‘‘Ana, do you remember what I told you before leaving?’’ Yu Lin Shen smirked. He leaned even closer to her ear and asked sensually.
How could she not remember what he told her? Those words were kept and treasured in her heart for so long.
‘‘Yu Lin Shen, behave yourself. We are in the office, anyone can walk in at any time.’’ Ana said, trying to act cool.
‘‘Don’t worry. I made sure everyone left and…’’ Yu Lin Shen bit her ear adding, '‘I locked the door so there won’t be anyone disturbing us.’’
Ana’s heart started beating faster when she heard those words. She didn’t dare to look Lin Shen in the eyes because she was afraid her own body would betray her.
‘‘I read your moments a day ago and you said you wanted a baby after visiting the children’s center. So… I came back immediately without a second thought. Tonight… let’s make that baby together, Ana.’’
Lin Shen touched Ana’s chin and captured her lips in a passionate kiss.
Hi everyone, I've decided to join this year's 2024 WSA with a new book titled; "I am Sabrina (Cursed By Love).
Kindly check it out and thank you.
" Tell me what happened?" Priya asked anxiously.
" Don't ask me anything now, I have to go to the police station" Arvind answered without looking at me.
Arvind left hurriedly.
I didn't understand what was happening here.
I went to Karthik's bedroom to check him.
Then I noticed his palm was cut and was bleeding. I don't know where the first aid kit in his room, so I brought it from my penthouse. When I was dressing his injury, he hissed in pain and opened his eyes.
I observed his gloomy eyes filled with pain and tears at the corner of his eyes. My heart-ached looking at him in that condition.
" What happened Karthik?" I asked him rubbing his hair softly.
" My best friend hates me. It's killing me," he answered.
" I did a big mistake by hurting him. I accept my mistake. At least he is not giving a second chance to explain. He is punishing me for two years ignoring me and treating me like his enemy. It is killing me. Even my mom doesn't trust me. No one loves me. I am feeling lonely. I don't want to live anymore" he said while lone tears rolled from the corner of his eyes.
"Shhh…..calm down. You are a fantastic person, Karthik I have ever seen. Arvind, Shreya, uncle, and all employees need you. Don't ever speak about killing yourself. We all love you." I consoled him.
He immediately got up from the bed and hugged me tightly.
"You love me?" he asked me cupping my face.
I could understand his state, he was in an alcoholic effect. So I nodded my head straight.
He loosens his grip and looked into my eyes.
" You trust me, right?" He questioned.
" I trust you more than myself" I smiled.
" Thank you so much. Do you know my mom loves me but she didn't trust me? At that time do you know how I felt? I was broken …." He cried hugging me.
"Everything will be fine. Don't worry." I assured him.
" Will you too leave me like my mom ?" he asked me.
" Never. I will be always with you." I answered.
"Promise…" he asked again.
" Pakka promise.." I smiled.
"Thank you beautiful…." he kissed me on my forehead.
I was beyond the shock of what just happened. My body freeze at once.
" Then don't leave me. Be with me all my life" he closed his eyes holding my palm.
Still, I couldn't believe…. What he spoke!!
Does he love me???
Having a family, I am living like an orphan.
Why a rich person will love an orphan like me? Love never exists in my life! I laughed at my destiny.

Being the royalties in the world of the mafias, the Pandoras are triumph even over the dangerous families in Shanghai and the eldest daughter of the family, Ilyana Zhou was one wild woman who no one dare to test. Until she found Lev who seems to be her perfect obedient pretty dog, a pretty dog who only have eyes on her. But is he really as naive as he posed himself to be?
******
—excerpt—
…Her black hair slipped over her pale shoulders. She watched as his green eyes looked at her body and find it adorable how much he was smitten by her even though she hadn’t done much to him. While she sat on the bed, he had sat down on his knees, like the good obedient boy the moment she ordered him to kneel.
“Come here, love,” she whispered. Her long fingers curled when she called for Lev to come toward her.
Lev who had been told to sit on his knees moved forward without standing. His eyes were glued to her as it was difficult for him to try and pull his attraction away from her. His Adam apple bobbed the moment she ordered him to come nearer and slowly he crawled in front of her.
Gathering his courage, he spoke, “My name is Lev.”
“I know,” Ilyana whispered out seductively. She traced his neck and grabbed his chin gently. “But you also fit to be called as ‘Love’; and I like calling you that better… Do you not like it?”
How could he not like it?
Lev had never felt such attraction to a person as he did when his eyes met with Ilyana. He could tell to her eyes he was simply a new dog to be tamed. Perhaps because she found him prettier than the others. Although he dislike always being called pretty, he couldn’t say he hate it now when it had become the reason for Ilyana to take a liking to him.
When her hand reached toward his face, Lev rested his face toward her fingers as if he was expecting a praise from her lips, “I like it,” he whispered.
Ilyana’s red lips spread to a wicked smile. She cannot handle how adorable Lev is, finding this man in front of her to be so lovely that she would kill every single human on earth if they dared to touch him. Her fingernails gently swiped over his cheekbones and she whispered with much gentleness, “Lev, if you become such a good boy, I promise I will reward you.”
“Reward..?”
Ilyana moved the thin cardigan that covered her sleeping gown and teasingly stepped on his knee with her bare feet. “Want to know what it is?”
As Lev nodded his head, Ilyana pulled him closer by his neck, “Bark well for me then, love.”
