 ﻿Marcel was so used to people tripping over his beauty that it didn't faze him when the waiter or whoever she was, almost drooled while taking his orders.
 He needed two black coffees as darkly roasted as they came. He needed the bitterness, the way it stung reminded him of pain and the need to survive. And to survive means to desire nothing, to be free of emotions. Emotions were blinding and human - and he wasn't trained to be human. His line of work was for survival, to kill or be killed.
 Marcel groaned, rubbing his temple, what's taking them so long? Where's the damn coffee? As much as he pretended not to be human, he was human and addicted to coffee as many humans out there are.
 He tapped his finger against the rippled tabletop contemplating his next action. Should he wait some more or leave for the next coffee shop which was at least ten blocks away? No, he needed to think not to walk right now.
 Moreover, leaving here means he would be under massive surveillance. His men were outside, blending with the crowd at strategic points and making sure there wasn't danger looming around the corner.
 But inside, he was free, no eyes to watch him except the lustful ones - which he revels in. He was handsome and he knows it, so what? Why shouldn't he relish the attention?
 None of his men were here to guide him making him vulnerable to attacks - that he could handle. He was skilled beyond his subordinate, enough to earn him a title and respect. And respect in this language means fear. They didn't just fear him because he's his father's son, but because he's Marcel.
 Meanwhile...
 "Where did you dig that nonsense from?" Mimi burst into laughter causing Arianna's brows to furrow in annoyance. If only they knew a certain mob boss was becoming fidgety with impatience.
 "I should have known than to waste my time educating a bird brain," Arianna grumbled, done preparing both cups of black coffee. There was no added labor of adding cream or crafting designs on a drink that would go down the throat and down through the anus. End of the circle.
 However, Mimi was not affected by the insult knowing this was nothing to their normal bickering. So she said, "In that case, you should go serve the psychopath then,"
 Mimi smirked and before Arianna could tell what she had in mind, already pushed the tray to her chest and took her hands off leaving Arianna no choice but to grab it.
 She smirked at the infuriated Arianna holding her with a glare that says, "You could have broken those glasses," and then their boss would take it off from her hard-earned salary.
 Mimi countered with a smug look that said, "It didn't break, after all, did it?"
 With an annoyed huff, Arianna walked around out of the counter, heading to the table beside the window - that was the customer, Mr psychopath.
 However, Arianna didn't have the time to brace herself against the good looks that assaulted her before she even arrived at the table. Even from afar, his handsomeness was damaging. How could someone be this good-looking? It should be illegal.
 No wonder Mimi fell in love at first sight with him. Mimi's past love interests were well, quite a sight, but then, none of them held a candle to this one. He was a lethal beauty, a mix of both sides - effeminate yet manly.
 Shamelessly, Arianna's eggs cried in delight. A child with this man? Her womb would be blessed - her child would be quite a sight if she took after him.
 What the hell are you thinking? Arianna internally scolded herself, recovering from the charm this stranger put on her. She had to remind herself that this stranger was the same person who ordered two cups of black coffee to drink all by himself - he was all alone. Even as a barista she was not a huge fan of such bitterness. "I love my bitter black coffee", said no one ever.
 Marcel saw her before she saw him. His senses were a bit more active than the average human honed from years of training and battle. That was how he survived so far, depending on instincts.&nbsp; He felt her stare all along and it carried no killing intention. So he let her stare.
 His instincts warned him not to glance up but Marcel was never the one to back down from a challenge, so he glanced up. And nearly whistled.
 Drop dead gorgeous was the only acceptable term for her. Marcel was not a fan of red hairs but he wholeheartedly agreed that this one suited her. Perhaps, the next woman on his bed would be a redhead - but definitely not this one, no matter how tempting she looked. Even for someone like him with self-control, it was hard for him to take his eyes off her - but he had to. Some people just don't belong to his world.
 It wasn't until she arrived at his table that he saw her eyes clearly. The greenest of green he had seen so far, it reminded him of the forest and its tranquility. Danger! Danger! Steer clear of this one, their innocence has dragged many to the grave. Even if he gets a red hair in his bed, he would make sure she doesn't have green eyes.
 "Sir, your cups of black coffee as ordered," She said to him and her voice sounded musical to his ears.
 Warning! Warning! The voice of caution sounded once again in his ears. The girl was a siren disguised as a mermaid and poised to drag him to the bottom of the sea where she drowned him and have him for dinner. His father has clearly warned him against girls like that. Their only function was to scratch his itch, not drown his mind.
 "It took you long enough," Marcel sounded less firm than he intended. They wasted his time, he should be scolding her, not petting her.
 Marcel come on, get your head back into gear.
 Suddenly his gaze noticed her furrowed brows and it made him wonder if she was hurt by his words. If that's the case, she was weaker than he thought and he wanted nothing to do with weak people, they slowed him down. They disguise him.
 Just because he's handsome doesn't mean he can't be a psychopath, Arianna had to remind herself of that. She had watched enough movies and read enough books to know that. Murderer isn't written on their forehead, it's in their eyes and heart.
 "Caution," Marcel noticed it in her gaze and he wondered, does she know him? Not that he remembered. Only people who knew him - or could read him - experienced fear. What category does she fall under?
 Though people don't exhibit powers, some people are naturally repulsed by evil. Yeah, he was evil and she must be repulsed by him.

 Living together with my ex-husband?
 Sarah never thought she would one day meet Michael, her ex-husband, again in the operating room with his body full of wounds and needing treatment from her.

 However… during the time she spent with her ex-husband, Michael's attitude was very different from what Sarah had last remembered. He was very gentle… and loving. It made the feelings she thought were gone, come up to the surface.
 Would Sarah be able to deal with her feelings? What would happen when Michael's memory suddenly returned? Would his attitude stay the same?
 =============
 EXCERPT:
 "Wifey," Michael called, looking at Sarah who was lying beside him.
 “Hm,” Sarah answered curtly, not looking at Michael.
 "I think I'm healthy."
 Sarah's body stiffened when she heard that. Was Michael healthy? Did that mean he had remembered everything? Would he scold her for tricking him?
 "Wifey? Why are you silent? I think I'm healthy and I can do it," Michael said quietly.
 "What do you mean?" Sarah finally looked at Michael with raised eyebrows. “Do what?”
 "Making babies."

 “Hey, Little Chipmunk, why is your mother good to all but me?” He asked shifting his eyes on the little man who was crossing his little legs playing a video game on his mobile.

 Doctor Irish Lane- 28 years old, was a renowned psychologist in New York. She looked stunningly attractive, sexy, and smart—a real beauty with the flesh of ice and bones of jade to every man's eyes.
 One day, she woke up with a dashing and mysterious stranger on her bed. Recalling last night's event, she can't remember how they end up together in the huge bed. She stared at the calm face before her and was startled when his phone rang. The man woke up and quickly answered the call.
 She clearly heard the conversation he had. The stranger was getting married today! Composing herself, she hastily took money from her wallet and handed it to him without giving him a chance to explain. She sprinted to the door and disappeared from his life.
 Unexpectedly, when she started her new job, the stranger once again appeared in front of her, dragging her into a murder case his company, Runestone Group, involved.
 She refused him immediately, but no way he would let her escape.
 He calmly said, "It's very dangerous for you, being so beautiful, to get into my car in the first place. And I take no for an answer!"
 Irish tried to calm herself down and then did her seat belt. "Mr. Dover, I've told you that I also usually charge overtime pay."
 "Doctor Irish, don't you think your professional fee is high?"
 "Is it?" Irish rolled her eyes, and an idea occurred to her, "No, the price of basic commodities nowadays is increasing, so doctors should increase their salary too."
 "You are a smart woman." He said a half-sentence, and the end of his words was meaningful. "Of course, the extra money on the check was just an advance deposit. We can negotiate about the related remuneration once I'm satisfied with your performance."
 His scheming trick clearly trapped her, and it was too late for her to take back her words and realize the implication of her abrupt action.
 A dangerous game of love that is full of lies and deception. Two exceptional individuals that fate collided, leading to the past they tried to bury.

 Scarlett's world collapses when she is drugged and forced to marry an old, filthy-rich widower with five children.
 Trying to escape her seemingly inescapable troubles, she accepts an offer of a one-year contract marriage with a mysterious gentleman. He promises this will get her out of her hostile-arranged marriage problems. She took the offer.
 If everything goes well, she will be a free and independent woman in one year...
 However, many things take an unexpected turn. The contract marriage made Scarlett's life feel like she was riding a rollercoaster. A mix of exhilaration, dreaded inferno, and joyful heaven.
 ****
 Only a crazy person would accept his offer. And right now, she does not fall into that category. Her mind is still sane.
 "Please don't get me wrong. I'm just trying to help myself. And at the same time helping you."
 Scarlett was even more confused.
 "I know my problem is complicated. But, I think being married to a man I just met, without love, feels weird..." She said.
 "This is not a real marriage but a contract marriage that you can set up to your advantage. And also mine."
 Scarlett listened silently; inside, she was shocked and a bit perplexed.
 Xander crossed his arms over his chest while looking into Scarlett's eyes. He continued, "As I said before, I will help you, and at the same time, you will help me. I don't need to explain what my problem is. But, I assure you, if you agree to do a contract marriage with me, then your problems will be solved. So what do you think!?"
 Scarlett was in no hurry to speak. She slowly raised her head and said, "So I can put any clauses I want in the contract?"
 The man nods, saying, "As long as it doesn't hurt me."
 She offered a handshake to Xander, "Okay. You got a deal!"
