Chapter: Speak of the devilWas Dr. Kylian Ashford really just a lecturer? First, he was the university director, and now he was standing at the front of my classroom. Was he genuinely teaching, or was he simply following me around?“You don't have anything to say?” he asked, his eyes scanning me.I caught the tiniest hint of satisfaction on his face. Was it because I was wearing the clothes he had bought for me, or was he amused by the obvious horror written across my features. “I am sorry, sir,” I apologized, bowing my head in shame.A class of over two hundred people was staring, and there was no way to blend in; my silver hair made me stand out like a sore thumb. “Have a seat,” he ordered.I immediately obeyed. The sound of my wedged, heeled slippers clicked with a soft yet classy echo through the silent lecture hall, pulling every single pair of eyes onto me. This was entirely his fault.“Those are some expensive shoes,” a girl whispered nearby. “That's why she came late. She can afford to use da

Chapter: Late on the first dayDr. Kylian Ashford said a lot of things on stage that earned him resounding rounds of applause, but I was too dumbfounded to pay attention to any of it.“Dr. Kylian is so sexy,” the charcoal-haired girl beside me gushed.I wasn't even observing how he looked; I was just staring at him. When our eyes met as he descended from the stage, I immediately looked away, unsure if I could maintain eye contact with him for long.“If I were you, I would definitely have kept eye contact. I would have even winked at him,” she said, nudging me with a beam that felt utterly strange. I wasn't used to people smiling at me.Unsure of what to say, I simply blinked.“I like your hair. It's very...” She paused, seemingly searching for the right word.Weird. Cursed-looking. Like an old person's. I had heard all the insults before, and one more wouldn't change anything.“Very classy! You look like an anime character. Do you like anime?” She spoke and babbled almost simultaneously.I shook my head, un

Chapter: Mysterious helperAs I stared at him, our eyes met, and a sudden flash of recognition pierced through his dark gray eyes.Oh... I didn't take notice that night, but he is mighty fine. Laurel purred.We were too traumatized to notice, I replied Laurel instantly in my mind.She couldn't argue with that. Walking toward him without breaking eye contact, I asked, “You're the man from that night, aren't you?”He offered a single nod.“Thank you so much,” I said, my voice softening. “I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't come.”Even though everything had somehow turned out worse afterward, he had saved me from being killed, after almost killing me himself. The memory returned in a rush: his cold voice, the gun pointed at my head, the dangerous glint in his eyes. Goosebumps rose across my skin, but I pressed on. “Is there any way I can repay you for your kindness?”Oh, please, Lucia. How exactly do you plan on doing that?I ignored Laurel.“You can do as I asked and pick out some outfits t

Chapter: Even mannequins are dressed better.I wanted to run and hide, or better yet, wish the ground would simply open up and swallow me whole. The moment I saw him, my heart began racing and my chest ached painfully. It was the same man who had rejected me the previous night, and now here he was, calling my name as though he hadn't shattered my heart in front of the entire pack.“Lucia? Why are you here?” His voice was cold.Don't acknowledge him, Lou. Just walk away and act like he isn't talking to you.“Okay,” I replied internally. “I'll pretend.”So instead of cowering in fear or turning around to answer him, I lifted my head and continued walking away, majestically, or at least in a way I hoped looked majestic.“Lucia. I'm speaking to you.”There was an authority in his voice that almost made me stop, but I pushed forward anyway.“What is wrong, Eren?” A female voice reached my ears, and my heart immediately broke.“Nothing,” Eren replied. “I thought I saw someone familiar.”I quickly turned around the nearest co

Chapter: Finally free, or so I thought.The pack guards searched through the bus from the front, questioning passengers and checking their hair. Some of them didn't know what I looked like; all they knew was that the fugitive they were searching for had silver hair. I lowered my head and tucked it against the window, hoping they would assume I was asleep and leave me alone. But as their boots came closer, my heart pounded louder and louder in my ears.I became painfully aware when someone stopped beside my seat.“You in the corner. Head up.”The guard's deep baritone voice made me jump, but I still didn't raise my head.Moon Goddess, please save me.If he catches you, it's over. Laurel was never helpful, she only made my fear worse.“Did you not hear what I said?” the guard snapped. “Lift your head!”“Sir, my grandmother is severely sick.” A young man's voice suddenly came from beside me.I froze.“What?” the guard asked.“My grandmother has something terribly contagious. If she raises her head, everyone here co

Chapter: Busted at the bus parkThe ground seemed a terrifying distance away as I stared through the open window, my stomach twisting into tight knots. Pain was already blooming in my imagination, the brutal snap of bone, the raw scrape of skin against hard earth.“If you don't jump now, get ready to become Dior and Alvin's slave forever.” Laurel’s voice echoed in my mind, cutting through the paralysis. “Now or never, Lou.”Drawing in one last breath to steady my frayed nerves, I hauled myself over the sill. I counted silently in my head, one, two, ready, go! and plunged into the air.For a single, moment, my eyes stayed open, watching the earth rush up to meet me. Then panic won out. I squeezed my eyelids shut and braced for the blow.The impact was a dull sound, but the pain tore through me instantly. I collapsed onto the ground, groaning, paralyzed by the fresh ache radiating through my body. My right shoulder throbbed so violently I was certain it had popped out of its socket, but as I gently massaged the

FROM WALLFLOWER TO SHOWSTOPPER
After a regrettable one-night stand with the school’s golden boy, Roman Knight, Reyna’s world turned upside down. When Roman denied ever knowing her, she was left heartbroken, bullied, shamed, and forced to watch her reputation crumble. Giving her first time to someone who tossed her aside made everything worse.
Years later, Reyna Styles is no longer the shy, broken girl, she’s the most sought-after fashion designer in the country, exuding confidence and power. When fate brings Roman back into her life, he acts friendly, but Reyna brushes him off, coolly pretending she doesn’t remember him at all.
Now that she’s the one in control, the tables have truly turned. But has Reyna really closed her heart to the boy who once shattered her, or is there still a flicker of old feelings hiding beneath her icy exterior?

Chapter: FIFTY-SIX: WAS THIS FOR REVENGE?Suzy was already plotting her revenge against Reyna, and it was going to land with a bang.Reyna thought that just because she was now a top fashion designer, she could not give Suzy an attitude and get away with it. That wasn't happening on Suzy's watch. She was going to destroy Reyna and the empire she had worked so hard to build.Her plan was simple. On the day of the fashion show, she would sabotage every single outfit, turning the runway into a disaster and bringing shame and disgrace to Reyna Styles.“Girls, are you all ready?” Reyna's assistant asked, looking around to make sure everyone was dressed.“Yes, Miss!” all the girls chorused except Suzy.The models were smiling from ear to ear as they admired their outfits.“Miss Reyna Styles is so amazing. I love these dresses,” one of the models gushed.“I know, right? Reyna is so good!” another girl squealed, twirling around in her dress.Suzy scoffed. “I've worked with so many designers in France, and I can tell you that

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE: BETRAYALLucia was a quiet woman, but today she looked depressed. Her eyes seemed lost and empty."Hey, Mom, come on, eat something," Serafina tried to persuade her, offering the food Roman's chef had prepared when they arrived at his apartment."No, I'm alright, Serafina," Lucia replied, staring at the plate with no interest."Please, Mom," Roman pleaded. He might not have been close to his stepmother, but he hated seeing her this way, especially because of Ettore. She should have left him years ago; she shouldn't have stayed and let him destroy her.Lucia stared at Roman. "Okay, son," she finally agreed, picking up her fork.Serafina frowned, feeling a little jealous, but she didn't let that affect her. At least someone could get through to her mom and make her see reason; that was a good thing."I want you to stay here for a while," Roman said, and both Lucia and Serafina stared at him, taken aback.He cleared his throat and dropped his fork so he could speak freely. "Going back to the villa

Chapter: FIFTY-FOUR: OLD ENEMIESRoman sat in his car, feeling dejected. His son didn't want to talk to him, and it was all because of his father's attempt to get revenge on him. As he moved to start the engine, his phone rang. It was his sister, Serafina, whom he hadn't spoken to since she got him kidnapped.He wanted to ignore her call, but she was part of the mess, and he knew Serafina disliked children. She definitely didn't like being known as Reign Knight's mother. So, her reason for calling must be valid."What do you want, Sera?" he asked coldly as soon as he answered."You sound angry, baby brother. Surely you're not upset with me, your only older sister and sibling," she feigned innocence.Roman rolled his eyes. He knew she was only pretending. His sister was a drama queen."You aren't my only sibling anymore. We have a baby brother," he said."I don't accept that street dog as my brother. Never," her tone changed, infuriated.Serafina didn't like that Cassian existed, just like she didn't acknowledge his e

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-THREE: DREAMS"What is he doing here?!" Reign exclaimed, visibly upset by Roman's presence."Roman, what are you doing here?" Reyna asked, feigning surprise. They both wanted to see their son; even if Reign hated Roman now, Roman still wanted to be around his son."You," Cassian grunted on seeing Roman; he remembered what his brother had done to him. "Baby brother, lovely seeing you here," Roman was smiling widely."You knocked me out and tied me up… you made me look like a fool in front of Father!" Cassian yelled in anger."Don't worry; you are young. Father won't try to kill you yet," Roman responded deadpan."He is crazy," Reign bellowed. "Grandfather isn't a murderer.""Oh, you poor thing. If only you knew what your sweet grandfather is capable of," Roman said, walking closer to him. Reign hid behind Reyna, not wanting Roman close to him."Rome," Reyna called out to him, and he paused and stared at her. Reyna could see the longing in his eyes; he wanted to be close to Reign too, but he had to be

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO: YOUR FATHERAurora Cutore was having a runway show in two weeks, and Reyna wasn't prepared. So much had happened in the past few weeks that she could no longer concentrate on her work as a designer."Reyna, the models are here," Brielle informed her. "Evelyn has been looking all over for you."Reyna blinked, then let out a breath. "Sorry, I got distracted.""You are worried about Reign," Brielle said, and Reyna nodded. They had called the Knight Villa today to ask for Ettore's permission to see Reign. She didn't know if he would really let her son come see her or if he would ignore her request."Ettore might be a bastard, but he seems like a man who keeps his promises," Brielle told her."I hope so," Reyna prayed.Just then, Brielle's phone rang. She saw the caller identification and froze, unable to pick the call."Your phone keeps ringing, Brielle. Pick it up," Reyna told her, but Brielle's hands shook as she held the phone.Reyna snatched the phone from her. "It's just Mr. Sunshine?" Reyna lau

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE: DEFEATING ETTORE KNIGHT “Brielle I am so glad you are safe.” Reyna sighed rushing to hug her sister. “Reyna.” Brielle hugged her back in joy. The two sisters stayed in each other's arms for almost a minute before Reyna pushed her away. The sudden change in attitude surprised Brielle; she felt her sister had forgiven her, but it was a lie she hadn't. “You are still upset with me.” Brielle stated sadly.“Yes, I can't easily forgive you for what you did but you are my sister and I got worried.” Reyna told her, not sparing her a glance. “Thanks for caring about me, Reyna.” Brielle said, hugging her again. “Thank you Jones, I appreciate that you are took care of my sister.” ‘Took care of me in his bed’ Brielle said within. She stared at Jones who had his usual sweet boy, love struck expression when looking at Reyna. And she couldn't deny it made her a little jealous. “It's nothing, she needed someone at that moment and I chose to be there.” Jones replied.“Still I appreciate what you did.”“Reyna are you
