My Birthday Mission
Unsweetened Cream
After twenty-five years of trying to win over Gus Harding, I failed and died by his hand.
But he didn't know that. He kept threatening, demanding I show myself immediately.
The real heiress slapped him hard. "Genevieve is dead, and you didn't even care enough to see her one last time."
Gus scoffed, claiming it was just another one of my tricks.
Only when he saw my cold, lifeless body did he finally understand. I was gone for good.
And this time, it drove him mad.
The Birthday That Buried Us
On my birthday, the dining table was loaded with all my favorites. My mom had been cooking and baking the entire afternoon, insisting everything be perfect for when Mike got home from work so we could celebrate together.
But then, he called and said his first love had been drugged at a bar, and he had to go help her.
I stopped him and begged him not to go.
Mike snapped at me. "Jesus, Em, don’t pull this jealous wife crap. She’s alone, defenseless, and unconscious—I can't let some random dude take advantage of her!"
My mother heard those words and was so enraged that she had a heart attack. She died on the spot.
Just like that, my mom died on my birthday.
I called Mike, asking him to attend my mom's funeral. But before he could reply, I saw Cathy Miller's latest Instagram post, captioned: [Mikey… after all these years, it was always you.]
Mike had liked it.
My thumb moved before my brain caught up, typing out the only words that mattered: [A homewrecker and a lying bastard. Hope you rot together.]

Temptation of the Office Intern
Milly Reinhart
"They were entwined with each other, luxuriating in the throes of passion, the man's robust body..."
I was hiding in my office, secretly penning the next development in my story, when a voice from behind me began to read my words aloud, one by one.
It was the new intern, a young man.
I trembled, pleading with him, "Please, don't tell anyone."
He adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his hands bracing the edge of the desk, trapping me between his arms.
"So, this is what you like?" His throat bobbed, and a smile played on his lips, "Then, why don't we... try it out, just the two of us...
A Birthday and a Burial
As my murderer's claws tear into my abdomen inch by inch, my father and brother are seated in our family's banquet hall. They're celebrating Carly's 18th birthday and coming-of-age.
"You'll always be my little girl."
"Happy birthday, Carly."
They light 18 pink candles for her. On top of the exquisite red velvet cake is a wolf figurine that they carved for her, and there are well wishes and laughter all around.
Meanwhile, I'm curled up in a sewer filled with liquid silver as I bleed to death. My phone has been crushed, and I can't get out. I can only cry for help.
A few days later, my father and brother show up together at the autopsy room.
My brother stands by the operating table with a scalpel. He slices open the body and sews it back up like it's nothing. My father just covers his nose as he shoots a disgusted glance at my body. He urges my brother to hurry up with the autopsy report.
"The victim is a young female wolf presumed to be of pure lineage. Before her death, she was subjected to prolonged captivity and torture. Her throat is nearly severed, her cervical spine is dislocated, and her chest cavity has collapsed. She was also injected with liquid silver before death."
Hearing the report, my father looks so calm that it's just like a case study of no consequence.
Neither of them can recognize that the body belongs to me—their daughter and sister!

My Husband's Office Affair
An older woman had wormed her way into my husband's life.
A new hire in the company, she catered to his every need, from preparing his meals to washing his personal items. I had warned him repeatedly about the inappropriate nature of their relationship, but he dismissed my concerns.
"Claudia's son is in college," Bryce had scoffed. "What could I possibly want with her?"
Fine.
I had a plan. I served him divorce papers and began showering attention on a young college student.
His reaction was explosive.
In response, I threw him a puzzled look. "Leon's father is about your age. What could I possibly want with him?"
Bad Boss: An Office Romance
Cocky, arrogant, and dropped dead gorgeous: That described my boss, Mr. Craft, to a T. His thick hair, cold blue eyes and strong jaw held power in a conference meeting, causing women to melt in his presence. I’ve wanted to confront him on his stubborn attitude and critical demands for employees. I’d bitten my tongue in many scenarios and held in my true feelings over a dozen times. Keeping the peace was necessary until I had enough experience under my belt to move onto bigger and better things. The only problem was; Craft Marketing was the bigger and better, and the longer I stuck it out with him, meant more opportunities would arise. I’d been the only female intern to land a job directly under him, and was also the only one who hadn’t slept with him. I knew he was promiscuous with the tall and leggy blondes that breezed into his office looking immaculate, then scurried back out with mussed hair, flushed cheeks, and unbuttoned blouses. I'd ignore the magnetic pull of chemistry and curiosity between us. Unless it came to my advantage.
