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?

Lucinda Perry, uma reclusa social e workaholic, faz uma promessa a si mesma de se soltar no seu vigésimo quinto aniversário e até mesmo conseguir uma noite de amor casual se ela conseguir a tão esperada promoção no trabalho. Poucos dias antes do seu vigésimo quinto aniversário, ela é promovida para uma posição superior e para a sede em outra cidade. Tendo que passar a noite do seu aniversário em uma nova cidade, ela vai à boate onde conhece um belo desconhecido, Thomas Hank, que se oferece para ser seu caso de uma noite depois de ver sua lista de desafios a cumprir, que incluía ter uma noite de amor casual. Thomas Hank, depois de ter sido usado por várias mulheres no passado, está determinado a conquistar a mulher dos seus sonhos que o amaria por ele mesmo e não por sua riqueza. Então, quando ele conhece a fofa e ingênua Lucinda Perry na boate, ele decide esconder sua verdadeira identidade dela e descobrir se ela valia a pena. ***Trecho*** O que é mais divertido do que um personagem secundário louco? Diga olá à Sonia e ao Bryan. O coração de Sonia parou de bater por um segundo e, em seguida, diferentes pensamentos começaram a voar em sua cabeça naquele mesmo momento. Bryan Hank? O seu crush celebridade estava ajoelhado bem na frente dela e pedindo-a em casamento? Ele a estava confundindo com outra pessoa? Seria possível que isso fosse uma encenação, ou talvez fosse uma daquelas pegadinhas de celebridades, e havia câmeras por perto esperando para capturar sua reação? Ou talvez ela estivesse sonhando? Sonia se perguntava enquanto olhava ao redor, mas tudo o que via eram espectadores curiosos. "Por favor! Seja minha esposa e me torne o homem mais feliz da Terra", disse ele em voz alta, chamando a atenção de todos. Seu editor, para quem ela tinha esperado por mais de uma hora porque estava tentando fechar um acordo com um produtor de cinema interessado em uma de suas histórias, apareceu naquele momento, "Sonia, você conhece o Bryan Hank?" Seu editor perguntou em genuína surpresa ao ver a cena diante dele. Parecia ter passado uma hora desde que Bryan se ajoelhou, mas só tinha passado um minuto. Bryan sabia que nenhuma mulher seria louca o suficiente para aceitar uma proposta tão maluca e, mesmo que alguma fosse, seria fácil pagar-lhe e cancelar toda a situação, já que tudo o que ele queria era um escândalo que pudesse vir disso. As manchetes seriam sobre sua proposta de casamento rejeitada ou seu suposto noivado, o que seria suficiente para tirar Sophia do gancho. "Sim!" Sonia respondeu, balançando a cabeça empolgadamente e estendendo o dedo para que ele colocasse o anel. "Sim?" Bryan perguntou confuso ao ouvir sua resposta. "Sim! Eu serei sua esposa e farei de você o homem mais feliz do mundo!" Sonia disse rindo e mexendo os dedos até que Bryan deslizou o anel neles. Surpreendentemente, o anel era de seu tamanho exato e cabia perfeitamente em seu dedo, como se tivesse sido feito especialmente para ela. O som de aplausos irrompeu ao redor deles enquanto Sonia se levantava com um grande sorriso no rosto e abraçava Bryan antes de beijá-lo nos lábios. Bryan ficou um pouco surpreso com a audácia dela, mas rapidamente se recuperou já que este era o seu jogo, e ele tinha que participar. Afinal, ele tinha sido quem a procurou primeiro. Então, quando ela tentou interromper o beijo, ele segurou o queixo dela e lentamente mordeu seu lábio inferior antes de separar seus lábios com a língua e sugar de maneira provocante, arrancando um gemido de Sonia. Sonia se sentia tonta. Isso era bom demais para ser verdade. Só podia ser um sonho. Como mais ela poderia explicar que um momento estava sentada no saguão de um hotel esperando seu editor, e no seguinte estava noiva de seu crush celebridade e o beijava bem ali, em público?
Lucinda Perry, una solitaria adicta al trabajo, se promete a sí misma desmadrarse en su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños e incluso tener una aventura de una noche si obtiene la tan merecida promoción en su trabajo. A pocos días de su vigésimo quinto cumpleaños, es ascendida no solo a una posición más alta, sino también a la oficina central en otra ciudad. Al tener que pasar su noche de cumpleaños en una nueva ciudad, va al club donde se encuentra con un atractivo desconocido, Tomás Hank, quien se ofrece a ser su aventura de una noche después de ver su lista de atrevidas metas, que incluía tener una aventura de una noche. Tomás Hank, después de haber sido utilizado por varias mujeres en el pasado, está decidido a conseguir a la mujer de sus sueños que lo amaría por sí mismo y no por su dinero. Así que cuando conoce a la adorable e ingenua Lucinda Perry en el club, decide ocultarle su verdadera identidad y averiguar si valía la pena mantenerla. ***Extracto*** ¿Qué puede ser más entretenido que un personaje secundario loco? Saluden a Sonia y Bryan. El corazón de Sonia dejó de latir por un segundo, y luego diferentes pensamientos comenzaron a volar por su cabeza al mismo tiempo. ¿Bryan Hank? ¿Su amor platónico estaba de rodillas frente a ella y le pedía que fuera su esposa? ¿La estaba confundiendo con otra persona? ¿Era posible que esto fuera una broma, o tal vez se trataba de una de esas bromas de celebridades y había cámaras alrededor esperando capturarla haciendo el tonto? ¿O tal vez estaba soñando? Sonia se preguntó mientras miraba a su alrededor, pero lo único que vio fueron curiosos mirones.
—¡Por favor! Sé mi esposa y hazme el hombre más feliz del mundo —dijo en un tono de voz muy fuerte que atrajo la atención de todos.
Su editor, al que había estado esperando durante más de una hora porque estaba tratando de cerrar un acuerdo con un productor de cine interesado en una de sus historias, apareció en ese momento.
—Sonia, ¿conoces a Bryan Hank? —preguntó su editor realmente sorprendido al ver la escena ante él.
Parecía que había pasado una hora desde que Bryan se arrodilló, pero sólo había pasado un minuto. Bryan sabía que ninguna mujer estaría lo suficientemente loca como para aceptar una propuesta de matrimonio tan descabellada, y aunque hubiera alguna que lo estuviera, pagarle y cancelar todo sería fácil ya que lo único que él quería era el escándalo que podría resultar de esto. Los titulares iban a ser sobre su propuesta de matrimonio rechazada o sobre su supuesto compromiso, lo cual sería suficiente para quitar a Sophia del medio.
—¡Sí! —dijo Sonia mientras movía la cabeza emocionada y extendía su dedo para que él le pusiera el anillo.
—¿Sí? —preguntó Bryan confuso al escuchar su respuesta.
—¡Sí! Seré tu esposa y te convertiré en el hombre más feliz del mundo! —dijo Sonia con una risita y movió los dedos hasta que Bryan deslizó el anillo en su dedo.
Sorprendentemente, el anillo era de su tamaño exacto y se ajustaba a su dedo como si hubiera sido hecho sólo para ella. Aplausos estallaron a su alrededor cuando Sonia se levantó con una gran sonrisa en su rostro y abrazó a Bryan antes de besarlo directamente en los labios. Bryan estaba un poco desconcertado por su atrevimiento, pero rápidamente se recuperó ya que él era el que había comenzado el juego y debía seguir la corriente. Después de todo, él había sido quien se había acercado a ella en primer lugar. Así que cuando ella intentó romper el beso, él sostuvo su barbilla y mordisqueó lentamente su labio inferior antes de separar sus labios con la lengua y chuparla de manera sugerente, provocando un gemido de Sonia.
Sonia se sentía mareada. Esto era demasiado bueno para ser verdad. Tenía que ser un sueño. ¿De qué otra manera podría explicar que un momento antes estaba sentada en el vestíbulo de un hotel esperando a su editor y al siguiente estar comprometida con su amor platónico y besándolo en público?

***Extrait***
Qu'est-ce qui est plus divertissant qu'un personnage secondaire fou ? Dites bonjour à Sonia et Bryan.
Le cœur de Sonia s’arrêta de battre pendant une seconde, puis différentes pensées commencèrent à se bousculer dans sa tête à ce même moment. Bryan Hank ? Son coup de cœur de célébrité était à genoux devant elle et lui demandait de devenir sa femme ? Se trompait-il de personne ? Était-il possible que ce soit une mise en scène, ou peut-être s'agissait-il d'une de ces farces de célébrité et qu'il y avait des caméras autour, prêtes à la filmer en train de faire l'imbécile ? Ou peut-être rêvait-elle ? Sonia se le demandait en regardant autour d'elle, mais tout ce qu'elle voyait n'était que des spectateurs curieux.
"S'il te plaît ! Sois ma femme et fais de moi l'homme le plus heureux de la Terre," Dit-il d'une voix très forte qui attira l'attention de tout le monde.
Son éditeur, qu'elle attendait depuis plus d'une heure parce qu'il essayait de conclure un accord avec un producteur de cinéma intéressé par l'une de ses histoires, apparut à ce moment-là, "Sonia, tu connais Bryan Hank ?" demanda son éditeur avec une véritable surprise en regardant la scène devant lui. On aurait dit qu'une heure s'était écoulée depuis que Bryan s'était mis à genoux, mais cela ne faisait qu'une minute.
Bryan savait qu'aucune dame ne serait assez folle pour accepter une proposition aussi folle, et même si l'une d'entre elles l'était, la payer et annuler le tout serait facile puisque tout ce qu'il voulait était le scandale qui pourrait en découler. Les gros titres seraient soit sur sa proposition de mariage refusée, soit sur son faux engagement, ce qui serait suffisant pour libérer Sophia de la situation.
"Oui !" répondit Sonia en hochant la tête avec enthousiasme et en tendant le doigt pour qu'il lui enfile l'anneau.
"Oui ?" demanda Bryan, confus en entendant sa réponse.
"Oui ! Je serai ta femme et je te rendrai l'homme le plus heureux du monde !" répondit Sonia en riant et en remuant les doigts jusqu'à ce que Bryan glisse l'anneau sur son doigt. Etonnamment, la bague était exactement de sa taille et elle s'ajustait parfaitement à son doigt comme si elle avait été faite juste pour elle. Les applaudissements éclatèrent tout autour d'eux alors que Sonia se levait avec un grand sourire sur le visage et embrassait Bryan avant de l'embrasser directement sur les lèvres.
Bryan fut légèrement pris au dépourvu par son audace, mais se reprit rapidement puisque c'était son jeu et qu'il devait jouer le jeu. Après tout, c'est lui qui avait approché Sonia en premier. Alors, quand elle essaya de rompre le baiser, il lui tint le menton et mordilla doucement sa lèvre inférieure avant de séparer ses lèvres avec sa langue et de la suçoter d'une manière taquine, provoquant un gémissement chez Sonia.
Sonia se sentait étourdie. C'était trop beau pour être vrai. Ce devait être un rêve. Comment pourrait-elle expliquer qu'un instant, elle était assise dans le hall d'un hôtel en attendant son éditeur, et l'instant d'après, elle était fiancée à son coup de cœur de célébrité et l'embrassait ici même en public ?

Lucinda Perry, ein sozialer Einsiedler und Workaholic, nimmt sich vor, an ihrem fünfundzwanzigsten Geburtstag so richtig die Sau rauszulassen und sich sogar einen One-Night-Stand zu gönnen, wenn sie auf der Arbeit ihre längst verdiente Beförderung erhält. Wenige Tage vor ihrem fünfundzwanzigsten Geburtstag wird sie nicht nur in eine höhere Position befördert, sondern auch in die Hauptverwaltung in einer anderen Stadt.
Da sie ihre Geburtstagsnacht in einer neuen Stadt verbringen muss, geht sie in einen Club, wo sie einen sehr gut aussehenden Fremden, Thomas Hank, kennenlernt, der ihr anbietet, ihr One-Night-Stand zu sein, nachdem er einen Blick auf ihre "Dare-to-Do"-Liste geworfen hat, auf der auch ein One-Night-Stand stand.
Thomas Hank, der in der Vergangenheit von mehreren Frauen ausgenutzt wurde, ist fest entschlossen, die Frau seiner Träume zu bekommen, die ihn um seiner selbst willen liebt und nicht wegen seines Reichtums. Als er im Club die süße und naive Lucinda Perry kennenlernt, beschließt er, ihr seine wahre Identität vorzuenthalten und herauszufinden, ob sie es wert ist, ihn zu halten.
***Auszug***
Was gibt es Unterhaltsameres als eine verrückte Nebenfigur? Begrüßen Sie Sonia und Bryan.
Sonias Herz hörte für eine Sekunde auf zu schlagen, und dann schossen ihr im selben Moment verschiedene Gedanken durch den Kopf. Bryan Hank? Ihr prominenter Schwarm kniete direkt vor ihr und bat sie, seine Frau zu werden? Hatte er sie mit jemandem verwechselt? War es möglich, dass es sich um einen Sketch handelte, oder vielleicht um einen dieser Prominentenstreiche, bei denen Kameras darauf warteten, sie dabei zu erwischen, wie sie sich zum Narren machte? Oder träumte sie vielleicht? fragte sich Sonia, als sie sich umschaute, aber alles, was sie sah, waren Schaulustige.
"Bitte! Werden Sie meine Frau und machen Sie mich zum glücklichsten Mann der Welt", sagte er mit sehr lauter Stimme, die die Aufmerksamkeit aller auf sich zog.
Ihr Redakteur, auf den sie seit über einer Stunde wartete, weil er versuchte, einen Vertrag mit einem Filmproduzenten abzuschließen, der sich für eine ihrer Geschichten interessierte, tauchte in diesem Moment auf: "Sonia, Sie kennen Bryan Hank?" fragte ihr Redakteur erstaunt, als er die Szene vor ihm sah. Es schien eine Stunde vergangen zu sein, seit Bryan auf die Knie gegangen war, aber es war nur eine Minute gewesen.
Bryan wusste, dass keine Frau so verrückt wäre, einen solch verrückten Vorschlag anzunehmen, und selbst wenn, wäre es ein Leichtes, sie zu bezahlen und die ganze Sache abzublasen, denn alles, was er wollte, war der Skandal, der daraus entstehen konnte. Die Schlagzeilen würden entweder von seinem abgelehnten Heiratsantrag oder von seiner angeblichen Verlobung handeln, was ausreichen würde, um Sophia vom Haken zu lassen.
"Ja!" sagte Sonia, während sie aufgeregt mit dem Kopf wippte und ihm den Finger reichte, damit er ihr den Ring anstecken konnte.
"Ja?" fragte Bryan verwirrt, als er ihre Antwort hörte.
"Ja! Ich werde deine Frau sein und dich zum glücklichsten Mann der Welt machen!" sagte Sonia kichernd und wackelte mit ihren Fingern, bis Bryan den Ring auf ihren Finger schob. Überraschenderweise hatte der Ring genau ihre Größe, und er saß an ihrem Finger, als wäre er nur für sie gemacht worden. Um sie herum ertönte Applaus, als Sonia mit einem breiten Lächeln im Gesicht aufstand und Bryan umarmte, bevor sie ihn direkt auf die Lippen küsste.
Bryan war von ihrer Dreistigkeit etwas überrascht, erholte sich aber schnell wieder, denn dies war sein Spiel, und er musste mitspielen. Schließlich war er derjenige, der sie zuerst angesprochen hatte. Als sie also versuchte, den Kuss zu unterbrechen, hielt er ihr Kinn und knabberte langsam an ihrer Unterlippe, bevor er ihre Lippen mit seiner Zunge teilte und neckisch daran saugte, was Sonia ein Stöhnen entlockte.
Sonia fühlte sich schwindelig. Das war zu schön, um wahr zu sein. Es musste einfach ein Traum sein. Wie sonst sollte sie sich erklären, dass sie in einem Moment in der Lobby eines Hotels saß und auf ihren Redakteur wartete, und im nächsten Moment mit ihrem prominenten Schwarm verlobt war und ihn hier auf offener Straße küsste?

“Darling, you are the moon that gave light in my darkest times.”
She gave up finding a man who could make her heart skip a beat and fall in love; Hailey Hillson accepted her best friend’s marriage proposal but then changed her mind after hearing another woman say she couldn’t please a man in bed.
When it was just a week away from their wedding day, Bryan got back together with his ex-girlfriend Eva Lan. Hailey broke up with Bryan and called off their wedding.
But then, she discovered an interesting fact about Eva Lan—she is married.
‘Did her husband know she was cheating on him?’
*
After the heartbreak, Hailey focused on completing her LIFE PROJECT.
To achieve it, she went overseas, where she came across Vincent Lopez Shen, the CEO of Shen Group Construction Firm, who later offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress to get his wife's attention.
As she also had an ulterior motive, she signed the contract without thinking twice.
However...
What will happen after she lives with Vincent Shen under one roof when he is Eva’s husband—the woman who destroyed her relationship with Bryan?
Will Vincent find out her secret regarding her true identity? Would she find out the secret Vincent keeps that is related to her?
EXCERPT:
“Miss Eva Lan, why won’t you sign the divorce papers if you are happy with someone’s fiancé’s bed?”
Glancing at her with disbelief, Bryan turned his head to the woman inside his arm; he asked, “What the hell is this, Eva?”
Hailey cut in. “Oh, you didn’t know Miss Lan is a married woman, my dear ex-fiance?” Her words are a bomb to Bryan.
“You shut up! Don’t believe her, Bryan! She is just jealous of me because you love me over her!”
Hailey scoffed, a playful smile playing on her lips; before she could spout another word, the woman in front of her paled like a ghost.
“Vincent, what are you doing here?” Horror, panic, and shock linger on her face to see her husband appear out of nowhere and his arms wrapped around the girl’s waist.
Vince shoots a cold glare at his wife, and he feels no familiarity between them.
He withdrew his gaze from the two people before them. He turned his head to the woman standing next to him, he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and with a loving tone, he asked her, “Darling, who upsets you? Tell me, and I will remove them from your sight in an instant.”
Hailey lifted her chin. As her eyes flickered, her cheeks were flushing scarlet red. Coquettishly, she whispered in Vincent's ear, “Darling, Miss Lan bullied me. She said I couldn’t satisfy a man in bed. She told me I didn’t know how to… do that….”
Vincent contorted the corners of his mouth and beamed. “That’s interesting.”
“What do you mean by that?” she pouted.
“What I am trying to say is… You are a fast learner, and all you need is the right partner.”

Lucinda Perry, seorang penyendiri sosial dan pekerja keras, berjanji pada dirinya sendiri untuk benar-benar menggila di ulang tahunnya yang ke-25 dan bahkan mencetak one night stand jika ia mendapatkan promosi yang sudah lama ditunggu di pekerjaannya. Beberapa hari sebelum ulang tahunnya yang ke-25, dia dipromosikan ke posisi yang lebih tinggi dan tidak hanya itu, tapi ke kantor pusat di kota yang berbeda. Harus menghabiskan malam ulang tahunnya di kota baru, dia pergi ke klub di mana dia bertemu dengan orang asing tampan, Thomas Hank, yang menawarkan diri untuk menjadi one night stand-nya setelah melihat daftar berani-melakukannya, yang termasuk memiliki satu malam berdiri. Thomas Hank, setelah digunakan oleh beberapa wanita di masa lalu, bertekad untuk mendapatkan wanita impiannya yang akan mencintainya untuk dirinya sendiri dan bukan karena kekayaannya. Jadi ketika dia bertemu Lucinda Perry yang imut dan polos di klub, dia memutuskan untuk menjaga identitas aslinya dari dia dan mencari tahu apakah dia layak untuk dia pertahankan. ***Excerpt*** Apa yang lebih menghibur daripada sisi karakter yang gila? Katakan halo pada Sonia dan Bryan. Jantung Sonia berhenti berdetak sebentar, lalu berbagai pemikiran mulai berterbangan di kepalanya pada saat yang sama. Bryan Hank? Idola selebriti yang dia naksir sedang berlutut tepat di depannya dan memintanya untuk menjadi istrinya? Apakah dia salah mengira dia dengan orang lain? Apakah mungkin ini adalah lelucon, atau mungkin ini seperti salah satu lelucon selebriti dan ada kamera-kamera di sekitar, menunggu untuk merekam dia membuat dirinya tampak bodoh? Atau mungkin dia sedang bermimpi? Sonia bertanya-tanya sambil melihat-lihat sekitar mereka, tetapi yang dia lihat hanyalah penonton yang penasaran. "Tolong! Jadilah istriku dan buat aku menjadi pria paling bahagia di Bumi," katanya dengan suara keras yang menarik perhatian semua orang. Editornya yang telah ditunggunya selama lebih dari satu jam karena dia mencoba menandatangani kesepakatan dengan produser film yang tertarik dengan salah satu ceritanya, muncul saat itu juga, "Sonia, kamu kenal Bryan Hank?" Tanyanya dengan heran saat melihat adegan di depannya. Sepertinya sudah berjam-jam sejak Bryan berlutut, tapi ternyata baru satu menit. Bryan tahu tidak ada wanita yang cukup gila untuk menerima proposal gila seperti itu, dan bahkan jika ada yang mau menerima, membayarnya dan membatalkan keseluruhan hal tersebut akan mudah karena yang dia inginkan hanyalah skandal yang bisa terjadi dari situ. Judul beritanya mendatang akan tentang proposal pernikahan yang ditolak atau pertunangannya yang dikatakan, yang cukup membuat Sophia lepas dari kaitannya. "Ya!" Jawab Sonia dengan semangat sambil menganggukkan kepalanya dan mengulurkan jarinya agar dia memakaikan cincin pertunangan. "Ya?" Tanya Bryan dengan bingung saat mendengar jawabannya. "Ya! Aku akan menjadi istrimu dan membuatmu menjadi pria paling bahagia di dunia!" Sonia berkata dengan tertawa dan menggerakkan jarinya hingga Bryan memasukkan cincin itu ke jarinya. Secara mengejutkan cincin itu adalah ukuran yang tepat untuknya, dan duduk di jarinya seolah-olah dibuat khusus untuknya. Suara tepuk tangan meledak di sekitar mereka saat Sonia berdiri dengan senyum lebar di wajahnya dan memeluk Bryan sebelum menciumnya tepat di bibir. Bryan sedikit terkejut dengan keberaniannya tapi cepat pulih karena ini adalah permainannya, dan dia harus ikut serta. Dia lah yang mendekatinya terlebih dahulu, bagaimanapun juga. Jadi ketika dia mencoba memutuskan ciuman, dia memegang dagunya dan perlahan menggigit bibir bawahnya sebelum membuka bibirnya dengan lidahnya dan mengisapnya dengan cara yang menggoda, mengeluarkan desahan dari Sonia. Sonia merasa pusing. Ini terlalu bagus untuk menjadi kenyataan. Itu haruslah mimpi. Bagaimana lagi dia bisa menjelaskan bahwa pada suatu saat dia duduk di lobi hotel menunggu editornya, dan pada saat berikutnya dia bertunangan dengan idola selebriti yang dia naksir dan menciumnya di sini di depan umum?

My novel has a steampunk world setting, so expect a lot of steam-powered technology as well as retro-looking futuristic inventions. Furthermore, there will be churches, secret organizations, and cults. So if you're a fan of LotM—which I have taken inspiration from btw—you will definitely like my novel. Also, this is my first attempt at writing a novel so you might find some mistakes here and there. Just know that I'm constantly trying to improve. Cheers!

Leeds united one of England's biggest club now in EFL1 watch how Oliver Brian,Ryan cross and his crew brings it back to glory.
The story starts in the year 2007 in a parallel world so there might be some major difference to the events that happened in the original timeline.
This webnovel was written just for entertainment purposes so it any information in this novel offends anyone I deeply apologize for it.
Four good hours gone and yet nothing - no solution. I kicked a chair in my office hard sending it flying through an empty space as it crashed to the floor. Shelving off all the documents on my table to the floor, I created a perfect mess.
The feeling of frustration engulfed me, tightening all the muscles in my body. It was like I was having a panic attack.
I quickly helped myself to the bottle of whisky on the bar and drank uncontrollably from it. I remembered the last time I drank this way and what happened. But at this moment, all I needed was to forget everything that was happening.
Closing my eyes briefly to relieve all of the tension, I opened them again but the pain was still there, the reality of my loss was dawning on me completely and I was helpless.
‘Desperate times calls for desperate measures’ that's what they say.
Bryan a twenty-seven years old billionaire had a perfect life until Maryrose Brent, his mother decides to show up after ten years and a supposed dead uncle finally resurrects.
Suddenly his perfect life takes a U-Turn and begins to crumble bit by bit before his eyes.
Could it all be a mere coincidence or is there someone truly behind all of the happenings?
And how far, are they willing to take it? Perhaps, till the last breath is sucked out of his body.

Dari milyuner, petinggi milter hingga pemimpin gangster, mereka berjanji untuk tetap membantu satu sama lain. Tidak ada yang lebih penting daripada memiliki saudara untuk bersama.
