Haters to lovers


   When Gbemi Adeshola gets an opportunity to work for cold, mysterious Adam McClain, she discovers that there might be more to the masks he wears...
                                                  
                                                       ≈≈≈
     
   Gbemi has lost hope in ever getting a good office job in New York, no company wants to give her a job because of her color, she goes for the last interview at McClain & co construction before she gives up and look for a menial job, in a café, probably if she doesn't get thus job. She gets a job but not what she applied for but she takes it, what choice does she have, she needs money and fast.

    Adam doesn't hire a black woman, especially Nigerian women, he doesn't know what comes over him but he hires her as his PA. He does everything to make her quit the job so he won't seem like an horrible person (PS: he so is) if he fires her but his plan doesn't work out like he planned it.

    When something happens the two of them draw close and sparks starts flying. Will two of them be able to fight their demons and accept each other?

The Burning Crimson Rose by tater_t0t3
15 parts Complete Mature
Yami Atem, a once cruel and heartless king, was obsessed with power and therefore, only cared for himself. However, because of his cold heart and selfish ways, he paid the ultimate price: Becoming a hideous dragon beast. Now Yami has one year to make things right by falling in love with another, who will return those same affections, otherwise he will remain with the doomed fate of staying a dragon beast forever. However, due to his ghastly form, he has locked himself away in his castle, abandoning the idea that he could break this curse, for who could ever love a beast such as he? Yugi Motou is a young man who only wishes for someone to understand what it's like to be an outcast, to be misunderstood by the world all because you're different in some way. It may seem like a petty thing I ask for, but to Yugi, it would mean the world to have someone who knows just what it's like to feel unwanted all because you're different. However, while going to run an errand for his grandfather, Yugi accidently stumbles upon a castle with a shining blue rose to light his path, meeting the infamous Yami Atem. So then, what will come when these two meet, and can Yugi break through Yami's thick walls to restore what he has lost or will it be too late to warm his frozen heart? Disclaimer: I do no own Yu-Gi-Oh! or its characters, only the story. Parody of "Beauty and the Beast" with my own dark twist on it, and not everything will be accurate. Yami/Yugi pairing. Also, sexual themes and strong language will be present, so to young viewers, viewer discretion is advised, read at own risk
