Best Of John Le Carre

Synopsis: “Some mistakes ruin you. Others reveal who you really are.” Ava has always played it safe, witty, observant, and content staying in the shadow of her bold, magnetic best friend, Sophia. But all of that changes the night she crosses a line she can never uncross with Sophia’s twin brother, Mason. Mason is everything Ava shouldn’t want: arrogant, reckless, devastatingly charming and completely off-limits. Known for breaking hearts without remorse, Mason lives for the thrill, never the aftermath. But when a stolen kiss turns into a secret affair, Ava is pulled into a dangerous game of love, lust, and lies that threatens to shatter the only relationships she’s ever trusted. As Ava falls deeper, she uncovers a side of Mason no one else sees haunted, vulnerable, desperate to feel something real. But when an unplanned pregnancy sends her spiraling, Ava makes a devastating choice… one that will come back to haunt her. Now, with secrets unraveling and emotions running raw, Ava must face the wrath of betrayal not just from Mason, but from Sophia too. Can love survive when trust is shattered? Or will the truth destroy them all? In a story filled with temptation, betrayal, and heart-stopping twists, Ava must decide: is forbidden love worth the scars it leaves behind?

Evonne Shannon was a poor student mother sponsored. She was also the crush I had been courting for a long time. Wanting to allow her to shine, I gave up my place in the piano competition for her. However, she glared at me with disdain for deciding this on my own. She then instantly turned around and handed the registration form to her boyfriend, Angelo Zambrano, and said, "Ange, only you deserve this competition." Evonne liked sports cars, so I begged my mother to buy her a limited-edition McLaren supercar. But in return, Evonne mocked me and called me shallow. "Don't think I'll accept you just because I'm accepting the car, Chase Shannon. You've never understood me." With my help, Evonne got to put on a facade of a mysterious billionaire's daughter. But the moment she got money from me, she turned around and went on a romantic getaway with Angelo. I thought of Evonne as my everything and even asked my mother to arrange for her to join the family company. Within half a year, she was promoted to a core team member. She then conspired with Angelo to drain the company dry and even forced me to my death. "What else can you do besides insult me with money and a materialistic lifestyle, Chase? You're the most disgusting obstacle on my path to success. Only when you're dead can I marry Ange," she declared. I was heartbroken when I heard this, and that was when Evonne pushed me off the sidewalk and into traffic. Immediately after that incident, I was reincarnated to the day I bought Evonne a piano. She was glaring at me with disdain. "If you don't want to buy it, just say so. There's no need to humiliate me like this." I let out a dismissive scoff. "Am I the one who's humiliating you, or are you the shameless one? You beg for food but complain that it's cold. You're worse than those stray dogs on the streets. At least they show gratitude after getting scraps."
