A Ha Scoundrel Days Novels & Stories

"Tsk! These days, even someone who's barren can make such a huge commotion. Samson is one of the most powerful men in Oceanton. If I were you, I would just stay home and stop making a fool of myself. Oh, by the way…" Jessica froze mid-sentence as she suddenly backed away in shock. Some of the queasier ones in the crowd shrieked and covered their faces, unable to look. Samson's face went ghostly pale, and he gripped his assistant's arm for dear life. Everyone watched as the men of the Shaw family dragged over several blood-soaked men. They were covered with injuries; their limbs barely hung on, dangling like rag dolls. One man's eyes were completely gone, leaving two horrific, bloody holes wh

“Oh Layla. I’m so, so sorry. I didn’t want to bother you. But I didn’t know what to do. I just…Should I have called the police?” “No, no, it’s okay. Everybody’s okay. You did the right thing by contacting me and keeping Sky safe. Everybody’s okay,” I tryto convince myself. “Thank you, Thalia.” I give her shoulder a reassuring squeeze, and Sky continues to cling to me. A door inside my house slams, startling all three of us. A scrawny, shirtless man stumbles out of the bedroom—mybedroom—reeking of stale beer and flashing a crooked smile. “Hey there, baby mama,” my ex slurs. And suddenly, I am definitely not feeling okay.

Rose beamed, clicking a picture of the headline instantly. Zayne chuckled, “What a name.” Every major news outlet in the city had just pushed a notification. The ‘scandal’ was far from what I imagined it to be. The lead image was of Zayne, his hand on Edric’s throat, his expression was lethal and protective. But the headline was what made my heart skip a beat: "THE NIGHTWOOD PROTECTOR: ZAYNE NIGHTWOOD DECIMATES CARTON INDUSTRIES AFTER PUBLIC INSULT TO WIFE."

I had been trying to stop Maggie from being involved with me but it seemed I was the danger in his life. The first scandal in his life happened because he took me to the hotel when I was drunk. He couldn’t bear to leave me out in the streets and he didn’t take advantage of me either. His second scandal was when he assaulted Duncan who was saying things that were dishonorable to me. Now, I had almost killed the same man, unknowingly of course.

Snuff that out. Hazel kicked sand into it. The mist is thick outside, as is the stench of the Grey Men. But there’s a way through. We must be ready. “We leave soon,” Helen told Stanley. With a little nod, Scar rose and undid her braid, shaking out her hair. Helen eyes bore into her and a little pink came into her cheeks, and curiosity tinged her scent. “What does that mean?” “It means we will care for you. Treat you as our own.” Hazel whispered

To Scar, Anna Fuller is just someone she care not to even mention by name. “Tell you what,” Scar turns off her screen, and spins her phone before slicking it into her purse like a cowboy with his gun, “I’ll close up one of them every day until I get what I want. Let’s see who can last in this game longer then. You have exactly 15 days, Fullers, use them wisely.”

Was it because I had no one backing me? I sneered and shook off his hand, about to reveal the truth, when a sudden commotion erupted at the door. "Someone from Saccone Group is here!" I turned around and immediately saw my cousin, Timothy Saccone, hurrying in with a look of urgency. He strode toward me with long, confident steps. "Annabeth? What are you doing here?" Preston's face lit up with delight as he glared at me triumphantly. "Someone from Saccone Group is here to back Yvette up. If you refuse to pay, you'll end up in prison!"

Crish showed seriousness in his facial expression so Camellia could trust him again. “Don’t pretend to be sorry like this, I know, you don’t feel sorry at all. You are still afraid of losing all of your wife’s assets, right? The proof is that you are still afraid if I reveal all the scandals that you have done to me in the past, isn’t that right, Mr. Billionaire?” Camellia laughed evilly. It seems that she is no longer easy to be deceived because she has learned more from experience.

However, Laura ultimately chose the first option, following Mr William's instructions. Laura, who was still very innocent, agreed to be told this even though her heart was in turmoil. She knew it was a scam, but when she remembered how her parents were, especially her mother, who often had to give in to her when it came to eating decent food, she finally agreed to William's offer. From there, she was drawn into the company's sordid scandal, which lasted almost a year. At first, everything seemed fine. The audit team supported their actions and seemed to have become disenchanted with their work.

Did you sleep in that, or is that just your style now? "She probably thinks it's edgy," a third voice whispered loud enough to be heard. "Like, tragic-on-purpose." "Maybe it’s performance art," someone snorted. "You know—sad girl chic." "I saw a raccoon in the parking lot this morning. Thought it was her at first."
