Shadow Billionaire Ryan Quinn

Betrothed to a Billionaire

--- Ariana was rooted to the floor outside of Anthony’s door her heart raced in her chest, like something was preparing to break apart her ribs. She had not wanted to come to a halt, much less listen in on the conversation that was unfolding before her. But the sound of laughter that came from Rachel was not new to her ears which suddenly had her face the direction of the voice like a pupet. “…you’re so bad, Anthony,” Rachel whispered sexily. “I never lie to you,” Anthony countered sullenly then suddenly grew smarmy, “I’m only bad with you.” Reaching out Ariana braced her back against the wall and her mind whirled round with confusion. Glancing around the corner she stopped breathing as she saw them. Rachel resting on Anthony laps, having her hand resting on Anthony’s arm. He leered at her, and from even his bearing suggest that he wanted something more than friendship from her. “She has not realized it yet?” Rachel asked me in low tones as if Shareen was a hopeless case. Anthony chuckled. “He realized Ariana was smart, as well as trusting in his team. That’s her weakness.” Such words are a shock for Ariana as if someone slapped her. [His fists clenched.]His hands shook, and for a moment she considered; she felt that nausea could overcome herself. Trust. That was what she had delivered to them – what she considered they deserved. And now? Now they were laughing about it, about her . She wanted to rush into the room and meet them eye to eye, look them into the eyes and scold them for every single angry word that rises within her chest. But she didn’t move. Not yet. She held a strap of her bag so tightly her hands became gloved. Indeed, she retreated sensibly, her breathing becoming light. It was not so strange they did not notice her go ; of course they did not. Why would they, if they reckoned she did not know any better? And when she came to the door of the house, shutting herself out on the cold evening, when the wind caressed her cheek like a slate, then in her soul something leaped. The heartbreak was still there, but it was buried beneath a wave of something new,rage. But she paused and with her head held high she walked away leaving her legs give away from her. The frosty night’s darkness embraced her when she tripped outside, onto the campus and grass., but the freezing air was no match for the icy sensation in her chest. She began to ponder vigorously various questions, accusations and processes of retaliation in her mind. But she didn’t see the car. This blaring of the horn was too late. There was the pathetic squealing of brakes and a moment of unbearable agony that filled her from head to toe. The world staggered, and the last thing Ariana could make out before everything went black was the night sky above her. Everything went black. ---

moonlit shadow

In the land of Eldoria, where the sun dipped into the horizon and painted the sky with hues of crimson and gold, there existed a mystical forest known as the Shadowwood. This forest was home to ancient trees, whispering leaves, and creatures that roamed under the cover of darkness. In a small village on the outskirts of the Shadowwood, there lived a young woman named Lyra. She was a skilled huntress, with hair as black as the night sky and eyes that shone like the stars. Lyra was known throughout the village for her bravery and her unparalleled accuracy with a bow. One day, a stranger arrived in the village. He was a tall, brooding figure with piercing green eyes and hair that seemed to shimmer like the moon. He introduced himself as Kael, a warrior from a distant land, and he was seeking refuge in the village. As Lyra and Kael spent more time together, they began to realize that they were drawn to each other. But their love was forbidden, for Kael was hiding a dark secret: he was a creature of the Shadowwood, a being with the power to control the shadows and manipulate the darkness. As their relationship deepened, Lyra and Kael found themselves entangled in a web of danger and intrigue. The Shadowwood was stirring, and the creatures that lived within its depths were beginning to awaken. The villagers were in peril, and Lyra and Kael were the only ones who could save them. Together, they embarked on a perilous journey into the heart of the Shadowwood, facing treacherous paths, ferocious beasts, and ancient magic. Along the way, they discovered hidden temples, mysterious artifacts, and forgotten lore. As they delved deeper into the forest, Lyra and Kael's love for each other grew stronger. But they knew that their love was threatened by the secrets that Kael kept, and the danger that lurked in the shadows. Will Lyra and Kael be able to overcome the obstacles that stand in their way, or will the darkness of the Shadowwood tear them apart? Will they be able to save the village, or will the creatures of the forest consume everything in their path? This is just the beginning of our story, and I'd love to continue it with you. What do you think? Should we: A) Explore the secrets of the Shadowwood and the creatures that live within its depths B) Delve deeper into the romance between Lyra and Kael, and the challenges they face as a couple C) Introduce new characters and plot twists to complicate the story and raise the stakes D) Something else entirely? Let me know, and we'll continue the story together! I meant this one
