Meet me in Silence

Languages : en
Pages : 237
Book Description
If you enjoyed the essence of The Godfather, 365 days, or even the big romantic moments of Fifty Shades, then you are going to love “Meet me in Silence.” At a glance, it may seem like the age-old story of an innocent girl being kidnapped by the mafia, but what if she is not so innocent and he is not just a mafia ring leader? Alexander stood there firmly gripping the door knob. “Do you like it?” he seemed awfully cheerful, his face broadened into a big smile and his eyebrows dancing playfully. As he entered the room, I noticed two men in suits standing outside. “I made it exactly to your taste Bella. Did I get it wrong?” I backed away as my breath caught in my lungs, “Where am I, Alexander?” “Oh! My bad.” He grinned sheepishly, “Estas en mi casa, mi amor.” He spoke in a flawless Spanish accent. “Wh-,” my breath hitched and my voice almost disappeared. “Why?” It came out almost a coarse moan. He tilted his head and sized me with cynicism. The sun was almost up and I could see his face clearly in the light streaming in from the large glass windows. He had that expression again; Victory. “I told you, Andrea, you are mine. Where else would you be if not here?” “Alex, I….I don’t…. I want to go home.” “You are home. My home. Our home. This is where you will stay, Andrea.” His tone was decisive, not commanding, but informing like it was obvious. I took a deep breath to steady my nerves, “No. I won’t.” His eyes glinted in the early morning light as he stood there studying me. I tried to gather my strength and dashed towards the door, but his fingers clasped firmly around my wrist and pulled me back with such force that I flew straight onto the soft bed again. He took two quick steps and lunged onto the bed, his arms, and feet planted around my body, but not touching me. His mouth was twitching angrily but I could see that he was trying not to hurt me. “I told you, this is where you will stay. And you will learn to obey me, bella. Don’t think for a second that I will not punish you for defying me like this.” I bit my lower lip to keep my tears in as I shook quite visibly on the bed. He stopped hovering and sat up facing me. “Don’t cry, bella. It hurts me.” I am trying not to. “Alex,” my voice was but a whisper, “what do you want from me?” He looked at me with that stone-cold expression again, “I want you to learn, Andrea. So that I am not tempted to punish you.” A small sound escaped my throat before I could stop it. “Punish me?” He just smirked. A traitor tear ran down my cheek as uncontrollable fear gripped my system. “How long will you keep me here?” “Well, that depends on you. The faster you learn to obey, the faster you get to leave this room.” He chuckled inwardly but I didn’t miss it, “Who knows, if you stop being so damn defiant, I might even let you walk out of this house someday.” He hopped off the bed and straightened himself up. “For now, I suggest you take a shower and get changed. I will see you in exactly 20 minutes for breakfast.” With that, he turned on his heel and walked out before I could ask anything else. I distinctly heard a key turn into the lock and a sharp click. Did he just lock me in here? Oh, God! Please let this be a very bad dream. “Meet me in Silence” is a unique tale of a powerful man ruling over the 7 seas while fighting a demon of his own. When he meets a woman at a nightclub, he is unsure of what force pulls him towards her. He cannot let her go. What will she do? How is she supposed to escape? More importantly, will she want to once the force takes over her heart as well? Find out in the first installment of “The Devil in I series.”

Book Description
The day I turned nineteen, I expected to gain what little freedom I could within the restrictions of my bank account and the hallucinations that had haunted me for the last six years. I expected to drive away from a life that had been dictated by the tragedy of others and shaped by the care of strangers. I expected to be alone. Actually, I relished the idea of being alone. Instead, I found fear I thought I’d overcome. Uncertainty I thought I’d painstakingly planned away. And terror that was more real than anything I’d ever hallucinated before. I’d seen terrible, fantastical, and utterly impossible things … but not love. Not until I saw him. -------------------- This paranormal romance/urban fantasy is the first book in the Oracle Series by author Meghan Ciana Doidge. Author’s note: The ideal reading order of I See Me (Oracle 1) is between Dowser 3 and 4, but it's not actually necessary to read the Dowser Series before reading the Oracle Series.

What Set Me Free (The Story That Inspired the Major Motion Picture Brian Banks)
Author: Brian Banks
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1982121327
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
*The story that inspired the film Brian Banks* Discover the unforgettable and inspiring true story of a young man who was wrongfully convicted as a teenager and imprisoned for more than five years, only to emerge with his spirit unbroken and determined to achieve his dream of playing in the NFL. At age sixteen, Brian Banks was a nationally recruited All-American Football player, ranked eleventh in the nation as a linebacker. Before his seventeenth birthday, he was in jail, awaiting trial for a heinous crime he did not commit. Although Brian was innocent, his attorney advised him that as a young black man accused of rape, he stood no chance of winning his case at trial. Especially since he would be tried as an adult. Facing a possible sentence of forty-one years to life, Brian agreed to take a plea deal—and a judge sentenced him to six years in prison. At first, Brian was filled with fear, rage, and anger as he reflected on the direction his life had turned and the unjust system that had imprisoned him. Brian was surrounded by darkness, until he had epiphany that would change his life forever. From that moment on, he made the choice to shed the bitterness and anger he felt, and focus only on the things he had the power to control. He approached his remaining years in prison with a newfound resolve, studying spirituality, improving his social and writing skills, and taking giant leaps on his journey toward enlightenment. When Brian emerged from prison with five years of parole still in front of him, he was determined to rebuild his life and finally prove his innocence. Three months before his parole was set to expire, armed with a shocking recantation from his accuser and the help of the California Innocence Project, the truth about his unjust incarceration came out and he was exonerated. Finally free, Brian sought to recapture a dream once stripped away: to play for the NFL. And at age twenty-eight, he made that dream come true. Perfect for fans of Just Mercy, I Beat the Odds, and Infinite Hope, this powerful memoir is a deep dive into the injustices of the American justice system, a soul-stirring celebration of the resilience of the human spirit, and an inspiring call to hold fast to our dreams.
