“We can't.” I whisper so low I'm afraid he can't hear me. 

“Oh, but we can, my little firefly.” He corners me against the door, his eyes laden with desire. 

“But, I-” He cuts me off with a kiss.

I lost all that I held dear in one day. My name is Daphne Greyson, the granddaughter and heir of the billionaire Chairman of the YC Group, the largest business conglomerate in Europe. 

I had everything. Just like it says in the fairytales, I met my prince charming and had my happily ever after before it all came crashing down around me in an instant.

However, he says he wants more, he wants me but any relationship between us is impossible.

Will I let him break down the walls betrayal and pain have erected in my heart and open up to love again? 

There's one thing I'm sure of though, I'll never shed another tear again.

Matthews, whose pride is easily insulted, puffs up. “Excus...
