The Hidden CEO Is My Roommate

Some said he was a monster, while others claimed he was so hideous that his mother had no choice but to hide his face from birth. All in all, no one knew what Gabriel Alistair looked like.  The truth? His mother hid him to keep him safe from the assassins that had taken his father's life! Gabriel lived an isolated life for twenty-five years of his life.  Unfortunately, he's tired of the mask and wants to live a "normal" life. After planting a fill-in to take his place so as not to draw attention to his absence, Gabriel decides to take control of his destiny and travels to another city secretly. However, fate seems to have other plans for him. Zoe Clark is a chronic liar and was once a  spoiled young miss until her family went bankrupt. Unfortunately, she returned from the states and had to lie and keep up with her past lifestyle. Sadly, she gets duped and upon getting news of the fraudster's location, she runs to the airport to give him a piece of her mind.  Gabriel and Zoe cross paths and their phones get switched in the process. Realizing that his identity was in jeopardy, Gabriel tracks her down only to find out that she has sold his phone and further putting his identity at risk.  Homeless and broke, Zoe could not shake him off her trail. To make sure Miss Liar doesn't take off, Gabriel comes up with an amicable solution to their situation. To keep an eye on her and make sure his identity remains intact, they must live together. Yes, they were going to be roommates.  Buckle your belts people, because there are certain rules to staying together.  —-------------- "Why do you want that cellphone so much?" Zoe questioned him, unable to understand his obsession with the device. He was rich for crying out loud, he could always get another one.  "None of your business," Gabriel answered, hoping that would end her questioning. However, he was wrong because she stepped into his room with him.  "Do you know?" Zoe continued, not paying attention to the fact that she has overstepped her boundaries by stepping into his room, uninvited. She just broke one of the house rules.  "My father says I'm like a dog because when I get a scent, I pursue it to the end. I know you're lying and hiding something …." Zoe tried to grab his arm to get his attention since he had his back turned to her.  However, it happened in the twinkle of an eye, she was pushed up against the wall with Gabriel snarling down at her face, "It's none of your goddamn business! I feed you and keep your lying ass out of the streets and you find the cell phone, period!"  A small gasp left Zoe's lips, stunned at the brutality in his tone. Why was he so sensitive to that phone?  With her chest heaving, they stared at each other and she was unable to say a word. However, it wasn't until a minute later that Zoe realized how intimate they were in this position with their bodies pressed flush against each other.  She gulped, they just broke one of the house rules.  And why does he look so handsome with an angry face?  Dear God, she must have lost her  mind. ---- Want a mix of comedy with fluffy romance with sizzling attraction?

They Already Left

She was the craziest woman that he has ever met and that was confirmed when she fell to her knees and Gabriel instantly pulled her up to her feet. He looked at her with wide eyes, utterly bewildered. 

Doesn't she have a bit of respect for herself or was she shameless to the bones? Even as arrogant as he was, how could he let a young woman fall to his knees before him? Doesn't she know how to take a bad joke? Must she be this serious? 

"What are you doing?" Gabriel asked, looking at her with furrowed brows. 

"Didn't you want me to bow down and worship you? That's what I was about to do before you interrupted?" She retorted brashly. 

"Does that mean you should kneel though…." Gabriel sighed, rubbing his temples. What was he going to do with this woman? 

Meanwhile, while the drama was going on, the store owner shifted toward Jackson and inquired, 

"Are they really not a couple?"
