LOGIN“I swear, I’ll kill you if you don’t back the hell up.” “I much rather you kiss me.” ... Twenty-two-year-old Nora Macie is a master of invisibility. As the maid’s daughter in the suffocating Collins mansion, silence isn't just a virtue, it’s survival. With her college tuition funded by the family who owns her mother’s future, Nora’s plan is simple: graduate, stay quiet, and disappear. That plan shatters when a private, scandalous video is accidentally sent to the one person who can destroy her: Asher Collins. Asher is the ruthless heir to a billion-dollar empire and Nora’s untouchable stepbrother. He holds her fate in his hands, but instead of exposing her, he becomes dangerously obsessed. When he discovers Nora’s hidden crush on the "golden boy" James Porter, Asher makes a proposal she can’t refuse. He will remake her—transforming the invisible girl into a woman who commands every room she enters. The metamorphosis is explosive. Suddenly, Nora is the center of a gravity she didn’t ask for. James Porter finally notices her, and Damien Priest, Asher’s lethal rival, begins circling with predatory interest. Her quiet world unravels as she is thrust into a high-stakes game of desire and power. Asher remains the architect of her transformation, pulling the strings with calculated precision. But as Nora evolves into the unforgettable creature he designed, the lines between mentor and monster begin to blur. He was supposed to be teaching her how to catch another man’s eye, yet he can’t stop watching her himself. In a world of glittering wealth and dark secrets, Nora is no longer hiding. But being noticed comes with a price, and Asher is finding it impossible to remember that she was never meant to be his.

Asher Collins is poison...at least, everyone at Riverbroke High says he is. He's the son of my mother's employee, the guy who would inherit billions, no, trillions of dollars, as well as properties from his family of landowners and food conglomerates. I, on the other hand, was nothing but the daughter of the housekeeper. I was disposable; at least I heard that every damn day.
Asher was the only son of Catherine Everleigh and Stefan Maximillian Collins. he was their golden son. No, literally their golden boy. When I was twelve, I watched them fuss over him because a watermelon seedling had stuck to his jaw from his fall accident....it was a damn seed, but they treated it as if it were the entire world crumbling.
It was almost pathetic, but I chose to stomach it instead.
They owned me...us, and we never heard the end of it. His father pays my tuition f*e as a sign of gratitude for my mother keeping her mouth shut about the child they shared together.
I was going to hell.; because i sinned with my stepbrother.
Riverbroke High was Asher's domain; his kingdom, and I was simply a peasant in that kingdom. The bastard has bullied me ever since I set foot in that darned place, along with his stupid girlfriend, Lydia. Oh, scratch that, fiancé. But instead of lashing out, I took it all on my chin, choosing instead to focus on the one reason I didn't crash out in front of everyone.
My mother.
Everyone says growing up invisible is easy.
They’re nothing but liars.
Being invisible hurts in a way people never talk about.
It suffocates you, and it shrinks you until it teaches you to fold yourself into corners so quietly that even your own heartbeat feels too loud….too…..exposing.
I learned that from the moment I understood words and what it meant to be a resident inside the Collins mansion.
Where silence wasn’t a choice.
It was a survival tactic.
My mother was the help, and she’d drilled it into me from the moment I could walk: stay small, stay quiet, stay unseen. A maid’s daughter shouldn’t be heard or seen. Make sure your presence isn’t even noticed, especially not around the family that owns your roof, your meals, your future. And never around Asher Collins. Especially him. No one except my mother and I knew he was my stepbrother by blood, and my master by calling. One day, he would own the immense wealth amassed by the tenth generation before him, leaving all of us at his mercy, scrambling for any bit of his favor so that when he assumes his throne, we could get some semblance of grace.
The bastard was cocky, arrogant, and every bit of the spoilt rich boy you could imagine, and much worse. The second I attained puberty, my hips became something even my big clothes could barely hide; so his mother pulled me to the side, and drilled three rules into my soul, commanding me to mumble them every day.
Don’t look at Master Asher.
Don’t talk to Master Asher. And the most important one of all;
Don’t fall for Master Asher.
But she didn’t know; I'd broken two of those rules six months ago on my eighteenth birthday…. I’d fucked her son. We were both drunk, and it happened before either of us could blink inside his father’s office when he’d caught me snooping. We were the only ones home, or so I had thought. I’d come out of my small room in the belly of the house to finally wander the halls forbidden to the maids when I’d found him perusing through some files, a bottle of wine on his right side.
His smirk was too tempting…..I didn’t know when I downed three glasses, allowed him to take my shirt off, and take my virginity on the Persian rug. When it was over, he collapsed on me, leaving me to usher him off and escape before his father walked in to find his naked son drunk out of his mind on the floor.
I was the only one with any recollection of that night….yet even though I should be happy about that, it stung.
Six months later, Asher avoided me like a plague; he always did, but at least then he could insult me in the company of his rich friends from the day I enrolled in his elite school……but ever since then, he didn’t even act as if I existed.
Reeling from that sting, I took a vow; nothing would connect me and the arrogant heir and me to the Collins fortune ever again. But staring at my phone, my heart pounding, my fingers clammy, I couldn’t help but feel like a fucking clown….. I’d broken the vow.
The message ticked delivered, and just before I could click the button to delete it from his phone….it ticked blue. He's watched the video!
A couple of minutes ago, I wanted to feel something other than the embarrassing sting of Asher treating me like an insignificant speck of dust; even though it was what I wanted, along with the fact that the guy I’ve crushed on for the past two months didn’t see me as anything other than a friend. So I decided to masturbate….while filming it.
I’d slipped into the tiny room my mom and I shared at the back of the house, my hands shaking as I locked the door behind me. It was the first time I’d ever done it, but it was exhilarating while it lasted. “Asher…please.” I’d whispered under my breath as my fingers sped up against my swollen clit, the sound of my muffled moans, and wetness filled the air. But just before I could come, I heard a soft creak of the floorboards, almost as if someone stood right outside my room.
“W-who is it?” I croaked, my voice raspy from my pleasure; my hand still inside my panties as my eyes trained on the door handle, expecting it to twist even though I’d locked it. Nobody answered. So I turned off the recording and was just about to hit delete when all of a sudden, the floorboards creaked again, and my fingers slipped, hitting send to the first contact on my phone…Asher Collins.
NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.Three years later….The Seattle skyline, showing boldly against the window of our home always made me smile. I held the mug full of hot chocolate close as I sipped gently.The streets were lit by lights, trees, and the festive air that Christmas brings.I stood on the balcony, the cool night air whipping past my face as I caressed my swollen belly. Her small taps against my bladder felt uncomfortable as hell, but it’s worth it after the fright she put us through a week ago.For the first time in my third trimester, I didn’t wake up to her harsh kicks anymore. A part of me worried it was because I’d scolded her too for kicking me as hard as she did last time.But when I felt nothing, my world as I knew it came crashing down.Damien rushed me to the hospital, where we learned she was perfectly fine. Apparently, she was beefing with me.So I had to beg her, and now, she kicks me anytime she can.“There you are.” I felt him before he even spoke, his voice filled wit
DAMIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.I remember the words of the doctor vividly after we’d rushed Nora in about a week ago. “Severe brain damage from the blunt force trauma to the head, broken bones, and her foot have to be in a cast immediately. It was in that state too long; glass shards in her brain.”Everything rushed at me all at once. Grandma's death, James, and finally, the last blow that left me gutted.“We need to tell you something….” I should have known there was an issue when I saw Doctor Max, the trusted gynecologist my family used, approaching me.Her face was twisted most officially…and that raised enough alarms for me. “Mr Blackthorne; Damien, I….there is no easy way to say this. But Nora missed her shot for the past two weeks, and because of that, we had no idea, but she was pregnant, exactly one week along.”“W-was?” I’d coughed out, my heart felt it’d finally stopped. “Yes, Damien. The baby didn’t make it.”The third life I’d have to mourn. I still don’t know how to tell her
DAMIEN’S POINT OF VIEW.Asher grabs Nora by her neck, twisting her in a way that almost sends me flying forward. Sebastian’s grip on my arm is the only thing stopping me.My mind takes me back to the sight of a pale James lying on the stretcher. He was pronounced dead even before the first responders could get him to the hospital. We didn’t have his funeral, we couldn’t without Nora present.Just like with grandma, we planned to bury them side by side so they’d be together on the other side too.“Calm down, Damien.” Hw grunts, his heart was probably about to explode with as much loathing for Asher as mine had. We could barely think straight right now.We were out for blood, and we’d get our pound of flesh.“What now? Huh?” Asher roars, pulling her further back. My eyes wandered to her foot, and narrowed at the sight of it.The way she stood was odd, almost like she was leaning on her other foot as discreetly as possible. The black dress she has on covered her entirely, so I couldn’t
NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.I whipped my head in the direction of where that ‘yes’ came from, just like everyone else in the hall. A surge of hope shot through me even as I felt the possessive grip of Asher’s hand on my arm.He shot the priest a mean look, forcing the man to cough aloud, then utter the worst words I could ever hear now. “Uh… in the absence of objections, I hereby pronounce you…”“I said, I object!” The voice became louder, earning a smile from my lips and mummies from everyone.“Who the hell is that?” Helen hissed, rising to her feet the same time as Stephan, their eyes scanning the crowd.The first thing I was was the large hat, then the dark-tinted glasses, followed by bright red lipstick, until I finally pieced it all together.Lydia burst from the crowd, her lips pulled in a snarl as she heads for Asher and me. “Or are you too old to hear me, father?”“Y-young lady, you…” The priest gulped, stared at Asher, then back at Lydia. “Why do you object to this union?”“Because
NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.The mention of the sex tape felt like a low blow to my lower belly. I stared at him, waiting for the disbelief to hit; the questions, the gut-wrenching hurt. Five seconds passed, then ten…But I did not feel it. I stared at him, my face as emotionless as my heart. I looked strai
NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.The document sat heavily in my lap, the weight of it resembling lead. I swallowed, my eyes rummaging the black words on white paper, Damien's voice replaying violently in my mind like a broken record I didn't want to turn off. Dominant, Submissive….and my stomach did another n
ASHER’S POINT OF VIEW.“Where did you go last time?” I stared at Lydia’s text, my blood boiling with irritation, anger, and shock from what just happened with Nora. I’m back on the jet, anger still coursing through me. She slapped me….she actually slapped me.Not only that, she dared not believe me
NORA’S POINT OF VIEW.Clutching the basket of food tight enough so my knuckles turned white, I tried not to think ahead of myself. We were headed for Grandma Sterling’s event. She’d pushed it forward for some reason, and I could not bring myself to say no to her.If it were up to my boyfriend, we w
