Contemporary Romance Web Novels & Independent Twist Stories

Hazel Whitmore walked out of the iron gate with a cracked photo of her grandmother and no one waiting. Three years ago, she was kidnapped with her adopted sister. Her parents had to choose. They chose the other girl. Then they sent Hazel away to a locked school and never asked what happened to her there. Now she is nineteen. She never graduated high school. And on the night she is released, her family is throwing a party to celebrate the fake daughter starting college. They introduce her as a distant relative. But Hazel is not here for them. Inside that school, she made a promise to a girl named Lily: find her brother, and bring him back. And tonight, at that same party, she hears his name. Dominic Reyes is in town for one more day. She has one night to find him. But some promises come too late, and the family that threw her away is about to learn what it costs to want her back.

In her past life, Serena Vale was the perfect daughter and sister. She sacrificed everything—her dreams, her university admission, and even her inheritance—so her stepsister could live the life she deserved. But kindness was repaid with betrayal. At twenty-eight, just hours after her billionaire fiancé finally proposed, Serena was poisoned by the very sister she had spent her life protecting. When she opens her eyes again, Serena is eighteen—back to the day before she is supposed to give up her university admission to her stepsister. This time, she refuses. She keeps her future. She takes back her inheritance. And the cold billionaire her sister desperately wanted? Serena decides to claim him first. Not because she loves him—but because she knows that in ten years, Adrian Kingsley will become one of the richest men in the world. But things start changing. The supposedly distant and emotionless billionaire is watching her closely… protecting her… and looking at her as if she belongs to him. And sometimes, when their eyes meet, Serena wonders— Does he remember their past life too? This time, Serena isn't the naive girl who died with regrets. This time, she’s here for revenge. And she’s taking everything.
