Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.”

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.

Download or read book What Set Me Free The Story That Inspired the Major Motion Picture Brian Banks written by Brian Banks and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *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.

Book excerpt: George and Arthur are identical twins, both are in college and living in late 1930s America. They come from a rich upper class Baltimore family. Their father had been taking the family on summer vacations to Miami Beach. Finding Miami Beach to be too crowded, the father changes directions and takes the family to a remote and less known vacation resort in South Carolina. There the boys meet and fall head over rich privileged heels in love with a beautiful local girl who works as a cleaning girl who cleans the rental vacation cottages. When they return the next year they start up a full blown love and sexual affair with the girl, Melissa. The girl falls in love with them; both of them. Both brothers want to marry the girl. The situation lead to quite a rivalry between the two brothers which could lead to a serious break between them in the family. The problem is that Melissa said she wants to marry BOTH men. She says that she loves them both equally and cannot choose between them. In the end she refuses to choose between them saying that if they will not agree to a three-way marriage she will live with them both in a menage-a-twa arrangement anywhere. While that could be worked out in backwoods mountain country, it would be totally unacceptable in straight laced conservative Baltimore Brahmin society. The boys do not want to leave their family home and situation. By a series of events that include a savage barroom between the brothers and locals over the girl, a fight in which one of the brothers seriously mutilates a knife welding redneck thug, facing possible serious danger from angry locals who falsely blame the girl for provoking the fight, the girl comes home with the boys to live with them as a cleaning girl in the family home in Baltimore, much to the chagrin of the boys straight laced mother. At home behind closed doors, the boys carry on in secret the affair they started in Carolina. At their sister's wedding reception both of the brothers propose to the girl with the one she does not choose agreeing to drop out of the picture. Sill as much of a stubborn hillbilly girl as she was when they first met her, Melissa again refuses to choose between them. The issue unresolved as ever, the affair otherwise continues in secret at the family house. The years roll on, Melissa marries out of necessity, but which one did she choose? Find out how this convoluted love affair ends.
