Sinopse

"Caden Fernando Miller. Hot, notorious and the most famous bad boy of Crestmont High. Attention seekers flirt with him. Idiots fight with him. The ones who are rewarded with a piece of sense, they stay away from him. If you fight with him, you know you'll lose soon. Hot tempered, mysterious and those oh-so hot looks. That's enough for a girl to fall head over heels for him. If only he cared to give a shit about them. Not to forget, he is also the youngest gang leader in New York city with his cruel ways and deadly secrets. Skylar Anderson. She's not a nerd. Or a cheerleader. All she cares about is her family, her best friend, chocolate cupcakes filled with heavenly nutella, and her sleep. Really. She lives a normal and carefree life, trying her best not to flunk Physics. Until she receives a letter in her mailbox......and that normal, carefree life goes right above the clouds."

Chapter 1Chapter 1

Skylar's POV

I felt like I would break apart. I could almost hear my heart shattering into a million pieces. Every possible emotion overwhelmed me, but only one stood out more than the others, Misery.

All because today was Monday.

The day that leads to a whole week of school. What can I say? I hated waking up so early - for such purpose - with a burning passion.

It's not like I got bullied, had to go through mean girls, or had really bad teachers.

It just wasn't my thing.

I preferred to sleep more than anything. Except for cupcakes, of course. Which was the only reason why I had to drag myself out of bed.

"You've got exactly one minute to get downstairs before I eat all these cupcakes." Alex threatened over the phone. "By myself."

That was the meanest statement I'd ever heard. One minute I wanted to sleep like a bear and the next, I was blackmailed into rummaging through my closet to pick out a decent outfit.

Settling on a hoodie and leggings, I rushed downstairs, and out of my house without saying any goodbyes. It's not like I had anyone to say goodbye to. My parents were lawyers, meaning that they woke up extra early and came back sometime after midnight.

I didn't complain though. I wasn't much of an attention seeker when it came to my parents. And it wasn't like I never saw them. They had jobs and I had school, besides we had our moments together.

"God, you're such an elephant for cupcakes." Alex commented as I sat down inside his car. "What took you so long?"

I rolled my eyes, placing my bag on my lap. Alex hated my sleeping schedule. He was jealous of the fact that my sleep was more of my best friend than he could ever be.

That's why I didn't tell him that I'd been asleep until he called me. It definitely would've given him a chance to keep those heavenly cupcakes to himself.

"Chicken got in my way, and I tripped... landing my foot in the um, cereal box, and spilling them everywhere. I needed to clean the mess." I ended the lie with a small, fake laugh. A very awkward one.

Who even laughs just after waking up?

"You know how much I hate making a mess." I added. "Especially in the mornings."

I knew that excuse was rubbish and Alex knew that too. Because firstly, Chicken my cat didn't wake up until I came back from school. Secondly, I never gave a shit about messes in my life.

Alex, being the best friend he was, chose to ignore my lame excuse. He threw me the paper bag and I clutched onto it happily, knowing what was inside it. However, sudden dread filled me out of nowhere when I opened it up and found crumpled tissues inside. I pulled them out hoping that I'd somehow find a wonderfully sweet cupcake buried deep underneath. But nothing like such happened.

I looked up at Alex who was focusing on the road ahead. A serene expression on his face as if he hadn't just given me tissues instead of cupcakes.

"You cannot do this to me." I whispered in horror.

A slow smirk tugged on his lips as he kept on driving.

"You are evil, Alexander! How could you do that? I thought you loved me!" I whined before slumping down into my seat, crossing my arms with a frown.

He chuckled before pulling into the school parking lot. "The day you'd wake up early, would be the day I'd give you real cupcakes, Sky." He said. "And besides, the bakery was closed."

I clenched my fists and glared at him.

"You're meaner than Severus Snape!" I snapped.

I don't even know why I said that. Snape wasn't that mean.

Maybe because my head was still wrapped up around Half Blood Prince, the movie I had watched last night, and Snape was kind of mean in that part.

He clicked his tongue in disapproval before stopping the car. "Stop being so dramatic. If I hadn't bribed you with cupcakes, you would still be in your bed."

He knew me too well. But at least, I had something to look forward to. "It's not good to play with feelings." I remarked.

He chose to ignore me, again.

"Don't stay inside here for too long. You'll be late for class." He said before getting out. I watched him join his football friends, various girls sneaking glances at him.

In addition to being on the football team, Alex had that blond hair that everyone fell for. Seriously, it was way too easy. Girls fell for him way too easily.

I, on the other hand, was quite the opposite. Guys never spared me a second glance, let alone fall in love with me. All because I cared for my sleep more than my social life. Besides, most of the guys at my school preferred the blondes over brunettes and unfortunately, my mother didn't pass her genes on to me, which sucked, to be honest.

As a result, I had never been on a single date. I was only ever found third wheeling along Alex's side. Alex was the only person who actually cared about me. We'd been friends since we were children.

I couldn't say the same for my parents though and I couldn't blame them either. Things always worked a certain way with my parents and we were never exactly a cheerful family.

I gathered my things and exited the car, sighing as I shut the door behind me. No cupcakes plus no sleep equals a really angry Skylar.

I would make him realize what a big mistake he made.

Plotting the best revenge plan of the century, I made my way towards my locker. Most people were gossiping like always, chatting, applying makeup, not so discreetly eyeing the boys.

Typical high school morning.

"Hey, Hanna." I greeted with a small smile as I approached my locker.

I didn't usually acknowledge people in the hallways, but Hanna was pretty much the same as me; she was more of the quiet type and didn't care much for the latest gossip. And since she was my locker buddy, I couldn't just ignore her.

She mirrored my smile, then left for class. Out of the two of us, I was definitely the talker.

After struggling to open my locker, I pulled out my textbooks and internally gagged realizing that I had Physics first and Mr Frank had probably graded our tests papers by now.

Could this day turn out even worse?

All of a sudden, the bell rang, indicating the start of first period and pulling me from my thoughts. Most people started rushing to their respective classrooms. As for me, I leaned my forehead against my locker wishing that I could just disappear and sleep, wishing that I was anywhere but here.

Preferably my bed.

Finally, after much deliberation, I took a deep breathe and started walking towards my classroom.

Maybe, Mr Frank had somehow gotten sick over the weekend and wasn't here today. Maybe, there will be no graded test papers or Physics today. Maybe, when I enter the classroom-

Perhaps I was too lost in my intense thoughts to see the person in front of me. Apparently, he hadn't seen me either because he seemed to be in quite a rush. Because he was in a hurry and I was daydreaming, I slammed into him and fell backwards, right on my butt.

Right after you accidentally fall down, you expect the guy to give you a hand and help you up, right? Especially if he was the reason for said fall. I expected that too. But when I managed to look up with a small frown, he was nowhere in sight.

I glanced behind my shoulder and huffed in annoyance when I saw him walking away towards the grounds, not even bothering to throw a fake apology towards me.

Slowly getting up, I dusted myself off and rolled my eyes almost in disbelief.

I didn't even have to look back at him to figure out who he actually was. There was only one person who was capable of such disgrace.

Caden Miller.

You’ve been warned! -------------- Sneak Peek: He slid her bra over her shoulders and, with impossibly quick and skilled work, tied the lacy garment around her wrists. “Spread your legs wider,” he ordered. Harper’s already faltering heartbeat faltered some more. The command in his tone was foreign, but it crashed over her like a heat wave, and even though she could barely begin to picture how salacious she must look, with her hands bound and thighs spread wide like an offering to be ravished, she could feel the scorching need coiling hotter and hotter in her core. Her body obeyed eagerly on its own accord, bringing herself fully open just like she was told. Eli grinned. Moving between her legs, he trailed hot kisses along her inner thigh, leaving sizzling little fires crackling in its wake. “Good girl. Now, what should your character say next?” A finger glided over her wet and wanting flesh in a slippery stroke, making her heart slam to a hard stop as a moan tore free. “Write the next line for me, what should I say before I unravel you with my tongue and make you scream my name?”

Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Kang Li woke up in the body of the sickly beauty, the youngest daughter of the Kang family in Aoli Village, who had been spoiled and pampered all her life. The original host had a tough life, first being dumped, then marrying a divorced man in a fit of anger to become a stepmother, only to find herself unfortunately becoming the control set for another stepmother in the courtyard. She could certainly be considered a top contender for cannon fodder among supporting female characters. But to Kang Li, none of this was a problem. All she knew was that the so-called divorced man was a returned overseas research talent, busy with work, with a high salary and good looks, and was hardly ever at home. In these times, where food and clothing were scarce and communication was done by shouting, marrying him was nothing but good news to her, who just wanted to live the life of a salted fish. Kang's Mother: ...my daughter's gone silly! Brothers (sisters-in-law, nephews, and nieces): ...our sister (young auntie) has gone mad! However, apart from the head of the household, Captain Kang, the rest of the family were all sweating on Kang Li's behalf, worried that the delicate and frail treasure of the house (sister, young aunt) wouldn't be able to handle the grievances of being a stepmother and might hurt herself from the stress. The villagers who knew about the Kang family's situation gathered together, spewing sour words and gossiping, especially those who bore no good will and were just waiting to see the Kang family's downfall. Yet, Kang Li's life after marriage was not only blissful, but her husband doted on her, her stepchildren adored her, calling her mom the moment they opened their mouths. They clung to her like people possessed, and the wife (stepmother) had them following her every step. A certain flabbergasted system: I thought the host I was bound to was bronze-tier, but it turns out she's actually king-tier. - Luo Yanqing was naturally indifferent, with only work on his mind, but somehow, he started to find himself looking forward to holidays, although he rarely managed to go home once a whole year.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?
