"Anyone but not me?" His voice was filled with malice. "Not me, huh?" "Let's have some fun. I'll give you two options." He tilted his head and glanced at me. "Either be mine or get fired." He really had become the worst person. I had never even imagined in my dream that he would use my weakness against me. He knew I would be homeless without this job. He played the game really well. His words muddled me for some moments. But, I wasn't the one to get abused because of my own weakness. Let's become homeless. I thought. I walked closer to him and poked him with my index finger. As soon as he turned around, I pulled his tie and let my mouth get closer to his ears. "I only heard one option. I resign. Hasta la Vista, BABY." I let his tie slip and looked right at his eyes. His eyes were filled with surprise as if he hadn't seen this coming from my mouth. I spun around and walked toward the exit. I was getting really proud of myself in spite of knowing the consequence of my action. I was ready to be homeless than to become his toy. I didn't see this coming but on the second I opened the door, I was swiped away from the ground. Danish had picked me up with his right hand and took me inside the room once again, slamming the door. He threw me into the wall making my head strike hard. My head spun as soon as it hit the wall and my head felt dizzy. After overcoming the dizziness, my head started to throb out of pain. I curled up on my knees, rubbing my paining head. He approached me and gently removed my hands from my head. He then, slowly ran his fingers through my hair as if he was trying to heal my paining head. "I told you already. Stop resisting." He let out a small painful voice and grabbed my waist with his right hand, his left hand still rubbing my paining head.

Prologue
Meet Anna!
Her full name is Anna Smith, the clumsiest girl ever alive on the planet. Her head is always in the cloud and her best skill is tripping in thin air.
With two long braided hair and a large square eyeglasses, she looks like the typical example of a nerd.
Don't judge a book by its cover!
In spite of her nerd looks, she has no intelligence. Unless a person repeats a thing twice to thrice, her head cannot catch up. She barely passed her high school with C minus grade. She always wears a plain t-shirt with straight jeans and has no interest in grabbing people's attention.
Her motto of life is to live a peaceful college life and then get married with her crush. The only thing that she is interested in, is her crush and the only thing she is expert at, is stalking him.
Meet Danish!
His full name is Danish Dawson. He is a perfectionist. He always ranks the first in every subject and in every class.
With his blue-green eyes, slightly tanned skin and black hair, he also ranks the first in his looks in every class he attends. He is 6'4 feet making the tallest among his circle. His jaw line is the greatest weakness of Ms. Clumsy Anna. Along with the looks, he has the perfect sense of dressing.
The amazing thing about him is that he is an heir of The Dawson's enterprise, most successful company. However, the scariest thing about him is his father rules the mafia. As the heir of the mafia, his career is fixed. But, Ms. Clumsy has no idea about it. Only a thing she knows is that she is in love with him.
He fears nobody and is a pro at boxing. His weakness, he has none. He always had a stiff expressionless face and always acts cold to everyone. He hates it when people sticks close with him and always maintain his, so called personal space.

Anna's p.o.v.
Five years before!
Few strike of lightning roared through the blue-black sky, letting a million droplets of bitter water over my sweating body. It was a gloomy day and a perfect scenario to conceal my crying heart.
No, I wasn't a happy-go-lucky person. And no, I didn't enjoy being a gloomy one either.
Pushing a lock of hair back on my ear, I wiped my tears. The drop of rain pattered on my body, expanding a tiny bit of tingling pain like feeling.
With a heavy heart and slight suffocation out of continuous hiccups, I struggle my legs on the crowded street.
It wasn't my choice neither was it my interest to get soaked on that skin numbing rain. It was just another unlucky day of mine.
Many umbrellas were there, in that crowded yet lonely street that could have given me a shield. But, I found no hand that extended to invite me in.
Well, it's not like I cared anyway.
Umm ..I was running huffing and puffing until my eyes met a boy at a street who was picking up the abandoned kitten. And I fell for him in an instant.
That was lame, even for a joke. Such thing only happens in movies. But, I was living in the actual reality and the reality is always cruel & bitter.
If I recall, it was all because of the bullies. Yeah, I used to be bullied in my class. And it was a part of my normal life.
My classmates were another name of animals who loved to bully the weaker one and worship the stronger one.
Some group of stupid chicks had poured some orange juice on my uniform and it was intentional. And the better part was, I had no spare clothes neither did I had any friends to offer me one.
My face was a total mess with the swollen eyes and running nose. Somehow, I was managing to suppress my moan.
As I stood on a side of the street waiting for a signal to cross the road, I felt like a giant person had approached me with an umbrella.
Jesus! For the first time in my life, someone was being kind to me.
Rubbing my puffy eyes, I lifted my head that had been down for the whole time when I left the school. A pillar like person was standing next to me, holding an umbrella that didn't even cover half of the pouring rain, to be exact. Well, it maybe because of our height difference.
I slowly fixed my glasses and tried to concentrate my hazy eyes on his structure. After a minute of stare, my vision became stable and my eyes fell on a tall perfect looking feature.
The boy standing next to me had a face that looked calm yet had a hint of restlessness. With a moment of gaze, his unusually charming face caught my whole attention and maybe my heart.
As I got busy at his face, the light had turned green and hence everyone started crossing the road. He did too.
Yeah! It was a by chance that I was covered by his umbrella and he had no such intention to help a weak girl like me.
But, I felt my heart skip a beat. I felt a heat that spread from the nape of the neck to tip of my ears.
My cheeks had a touch of cherry blossom pink.
As I reached my home, I passed through the living room where my father was sitting on the couch, enjoying his favorite shows. I tried to avoid him as much as possible because he would be much more worried about me than myself.
I cautiously walked only with my toes and two other fingers, trying to make as less sound as possible. As I reached the stairs, I flashed up within a second.
"Anna, you forgot your umbrella again." I could hear my father's worry from down stair.
But, I had no place in my head to care for that.
Throughout my elementary and middle school, I had been considered as a clown for a display. That was most likely enough for me to drive me insane.
I opened the door to my room and got inside smelling the scent of my most comfortable place. Placing my bag at my study desk that was near my window, I went to my closet and took out some warm clothes.
The bath water was ready as always. My father couldn't care less about me than himself.
As I laid on the bathtub, my head was pretty occupied as always.
But for the first time, I had thought about something else than the bullies that I was suffering.
He was medicine to my sore wound and his thoughts helped me to heal all of the holes of my heart.
It was a pure coincidence that we were in the same school. Well, we weren't in the same class.
But that was okay for now. I was already happy enough to know his existence.
Once again, hello everyone. Do leave comments.
Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...
While Sienna reached the pinnacle of her success, Julian remained the forgotten son of his family, the one who had secretly stolen her first kiss in the shadows of the night. As Sienna hit her darkest moment, Julian returned home, leaving his life behind, only to witness her tears glistening in the moonlight as she reluctantly accepted another man's proposal. When Sienna needed Julian more than ever, he had risen to a position of power and had become her most steadfast pillar of support. "Please marry me." There was no one else in the world who could love Sienna as deeply as Julian did.
"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.
