20

She's always been described as "her" shadow. The shadow of a beautiful, intelligent sister that she could never beat. Her whole life, she has tried her best to meet up to her sisters standards but it has never been the same. She has never been able to shine by herself without being compared to Willow. For 20 years now, she's been the shadow and never once has she realised that she was equally as beautiful and intelligent. Today was the day, the day that it would be all about her, well that's what she thought initially. It was her 20th birthday party where she will be revealed as her fathers heir of the company after being abroad for a year studying 24/7 to be able to live up to her fathers standards. Today was her day being in the spotlight after disappearing from it for 2 years. In this year, she has changed drastically. So much that her parents didn't recognise her when she stepped out of her fathers private jet. So much that her old high school bullies wouldn't even have recognised her. She was finally back and stronger than ever. Neveah was back to show everyone that she is not the same girl as she was 2 years ago. Alec McKinley, the typical playboy of the century. Having flings left, right and centre but discarding them after a night with their bodies. He was notorious for this but it didn't stop females from dropping their skin tight dresses to state to the world that they've has a night with the heir to the McKinley Enterprise. These naïve females all through that they would be the one to change him. To be able to tame the beast in bed. However, they leave empty handed, without their clothes but just a robe as always.

Meu companheiro, Luther Evans, gastou 20 mil dólares em duas passagens de primeira classe no Moonlight Express para a Costa de Vespera. No momento em que estávamos prestes a embarcar, ele me puxou de lado e deu o meu lugar para minha irmã adotiva, Zoey Turner. Ele explicou: — Só restou um assento vazio no trem, e o filho da Zoey nunca viu o oceano antes. Esta é a oportunidade perfeita. Crianças não podem ser separadas de suas mães, então eu vou levá-los primeiro e deixá-los acomodados, depois volto para buscar você. Eu concordei e desci do trem, observando-o desaparecer à distância. Assim que chegaram à praia, um amigo perguntou a Luther por que eu não tinha ido junto. Ele estava ocupado inflando uma boia de piscina para Zoey, respondendo casualmente sem levantar os olhos. — Moonlight Express passa a cada três dias. Avery Smith pode simplesmente comprar sua própria passagem e vir mais tarde. Vou comprar alguns presentes para compensá-la. Ela é muito compreensiva e não vai ficar brava comigo por muito tempo. Um sorriso amargo surgiu nos cantos da minha boca. A família inteira sempre favoreceu Zoey, e agora até meu próprio companheiro não era diferente. Como ninguém queria me ver de qualquer forma, decidi que iria embora em três dias.

"I thought you were the man who saved me. I didn't know you were the one who set the fire." The day my father gambled away my life was the day I learned that some monsters don't have claws—they wear tailored suits and drink vintage scotch. To the world, Abram is a philanthropist, a billionaire, and the undisputed King of the Lycan Underground. To me, he is the man who bought my freedom for the price of a debt he secretly engineered. He calls me his "Little Wolf." He dresses me in diamonds that feel like cold chains and keeps me in a soundproof penthouse where my screams are just background music to his obsession. He is the Gentle Gaslighter. He whispers that he loves me while he wipes the blood of my past from his hands. He tells me I have nowhere else to go, forgetting that he was the one who burned every bridge behind me. But Abram made one fatal mistake: He taught me how to survive him. Underneath my silk gowns and practiced smiles, the girl he "broke" is dead. In her place is a master manipulator who has learned to weaponize his own obsession against him. I will let him mark me. I will let him believe he won. And when he is at his highest, I will show him that a velvet noose still strangles just as surely as a hemp one. He told me I was his entire world. Now, I’m going to end it. Tropes: * Mafia Alpha x Captive Omega * Age Gap (42 & 20) * He Falls First (Obsession) * Vengeance/Revenge Rebirth * Betrayal & Tragic Twist

Pada hari peringatan lima tahun kebersamaan kami, pacarku Luis Loren memberiku sebuah gelang yang harganya tidak sampai dua ratus ribu. Malam itu juga, dia membelikan sebuah kapal pesiar seharga 20 miliar untuk cinta pertamanya, Paula Santoso. Aku menolak gelang itu. Dia malah mengataiku tidak pengertian. "Aku memberikan hadiah pada Paula demi saham perusahaan, bukan karena aku masih memiliki perasaan padanya." "Kamu hanyalah orang miskin, aku sudah berjanji akan menikahimu, memangnya masih nggak cukup? Padahal ini adalah ujian terakhir untukmu, Ziva, kamu gagal." Aku mengakhiri hubungan kami. Dia langsung melamar Paula. Lima tahun kemudian, kami bertemu di sebuah hotel mewah, tepatnya tempat diadakan Konferensi Bisnis. Perusahaannya akan segera menjadi pemimpin industri, dia masuk dengan menggandeng Paula. Ketika dia melihatku, aku sedang berdiri di kolam air mancur dengan pakaian yang berantakan. "Ziva." Dia berkata dengan nada sinis, "Dulu, kamu menolakku. Kamu nggak menyangka setelah berpisah denganku, hidupmu akan lebih buruk dari pengemis, 'kan?" "Jangan kira karena kamu merekayasa pertemuan ini dan menunjukkan betapa menderitanya hidupmu, aku akan mengasihanimu dan membawamu pergi." Aku mengabaikannya. Berlian biru kesayangan putraku yang ayahnya berikan sebagai hadiah ulang tahun pertama tidak sengaja jatuh ke dalam air mancur. Putraku menangis tersedu-sedu, aku harus segera menemukan berlian biru itu.

I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe I’ll still meet my mate today. Then it won’t be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if I’m a new girl, others saying I’m trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous. I didn’t know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitor’s closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. “Hurry Saige, I smell my mate, I can’t let her meet me like this.” I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It can’t be. It can’t be. There’s no way.

Mom cleared her throat and said, “I have an idea.” I frowned. “What are you talking about, Mom?” “I’m talking about I have an idea.” She stood up and leaned on her desk, saying, “We will hold the Queen’s Guard Tournament.” “I still don’t understand, mom.” “I propose a tournament with several tests, games, balls, bullfights, interviews, dates and parades. I suggest we go wild with different activities that guarantee the election of the new alpha kings.” “Okay… I’ll take the bait. Who will participate?” “Anyone who is an alpha or some equivalent to that. We put their names inside the sky crate so that destiny can choose the 20 lucky ones who will compete for the love of the future sovereign. The three winners will be crowned the alpha kings of the south, east and west. Obviously, the north is occupied by Alonso.” “And what will happen to Sokaris? He’s mine too, mom!” “I wouldn’t worry about him, Maddie. In my dreams, I saw him putting on a great show.” “What will happen if my other fated mates show up?” “Destiny will take care of it, Maddie. Your mates will be selected. But to win, we must give our enemies a mirage of hope that makes them believe they can govern.” “And in the end, they will be exposed to everyone, without us having to intervene,” Mom nodded, with a triumphant smile. I sighed. “If this is our best option, then let’s use the ball that is already being planned as the tournament’s opening event.” Mom nodded. Dad slapped his hands together and said, “Well… we have a tournament to plan and a lot of announcements to make. Let’s get started!” ________________ Reverse harem / 4 fated mates / Magic / Royal Lycan Family / Vampires

Who knew "I DO" came with a price tag? *** Charlene, or Charlie, was an orphan. She had lived jumping from one foster home to another, where people told her what to do, what she could be and not, and what she deserved, which was not much. At 18, she said enough. She pursued a career as a model, taking her life into her own hands. At 20, she met Collin, a wealthy CEO who promised to marry her. She thought her dreams were finally coming true. But like everything else in her life, her fiancée ended up being a disappointment as she caught him cheating, leaving her with a broken heart and a career in shambles. Desperate to get her life back on track, she accepted an unusual job proposal. She agreed to marry the son of the man she saved by accident. In exchange, she would receive substantial compensation. Yeah! Why not? Right? It was not as if she had to fall in love with him. It was a mere business transaction where she had to act as his wife. Besides, love was overrated anyway. Money was what made the world go round. It was the immediate solution to her problems. That was where Isaac Saunders came into the picture. He was her unwilling groom, forced by his father to marry her. He was the sole heir of his family's billion-dollar company. But he had to marry the woman of his father's choosing to inherit his father's legacy. So, how would this arrangement even work when he only saw her as another gold digger? On the other hand, she only looked at this marriage as a contractual transaction. What then? How would these two deal with their new living arrangement, staying in the same house and playing husband and wife?
