He whispered and fell asleep again. I checked my whole body and I wanted to cry because I was wearing different clothes. There is also no pain in my body except for my femininity. Taking my time, I walked towards the closed door, but when I tried to unlock its lock, it wouldn't let me. As I returned to the man, I searched for the door key. I saw the key on top of the drawer near him. I held my breath when I took it. I quickly walked to the door again and as soon as it opened, I immediately got out and ran away from that monster's room. There are three doors in front of me and I don't know which one is the right way. I chose the first door and was greeted by a bar where there were many dancin

I was slowly walking round the table while they followed me with their eyes. “What does that have to do with the fact that you’re late,” the GM of their company stood up to me. “What’s your name?” I asked the man who caught my attention earlier and he replied with “Derek” so I stopped in my tracks. “Derek, you’re obviously new so you wouldn’t know but for your sake, I will move further since they’ve decided to live in denial,” “15 million dollars suddenly went missing from my company’s records,” I stopped to look at their already uncomfortable GMs face.

Sophia stared in disbelief at the hidden cache of weapons and gold, an underground vault connected to the very secrets Elena had tried to bury. Sophia’s breath caught in her throat as she gazed at the massive underground chamber. The faint light from the overhead bulbs barely illuminated the sprawling vault before them. Stacks of gold bars gleamed dimly in the shadows, while crates of what appeared to be high-tech weapons lined the walls. It was a hidden treasure trove—a secret that had been buried beneath the estate for who knew how long. Ethan's voice broke the stunned silence. “What the hell is this?” He stepped forward cautiously, his eyes scanning the room, taking in the sheer scale of

Her skin seemed undecided about staying in this world. “What have you dragged to my door, wolf-cub?” she rasped. “My cousin,” Kael said, respectful but unafraid. “She needs to be hidden.” Those misted eyes pinned me. “You wish to pass among males unseen.” “Yes.” My voice didn’t shake.

"I don't know how to do this without you." I took a shaky breath before forcing myself to continue. "I'm sorry in advance, because I won't be coming by anymore. Someone is coming to take me away from this place... to somewhere better, I hope." Gemma stirred gently inside me, her presence warm and soothing. ‘We need to go,’ she said softly. ‘You should get what you came for.’ I nodded, wiping my face as I looked around carefully to make sure no one was nearby. Once I was certain I was alone, I moved to the side of the headstone and dug into the soft earth where I had hidden the treasure.

She was a blank canvas, waiting to be filled with colors and shapes that were lost to her. Among the haze of forgotten memories, there was one secret that Amelia guarded fiercely—the hidden box she had discovered in her pants pocket. As she stumbled upon it, her fingers brushed against cool metal, and she gingerly opened the lid, revealing a treasure nestled within. Gold glimmered in the dim light, its luster captivating her even in the midst of her confusion.

"You've got no right to talk about love. A hidden girlfriend? Nah, just my replacement." Anger surged within me. Before I could shoot back, her smile turned cruel. She shoved past me, knocking my shoulder hard. "Know your place." Her footsteps faded, leaving me clutching my chest. The pain was unbearable. Luke failed me, but Karma always came back around. Once I calmed down, I went home. Mike called. "Your fiancé got you an animal biology book with real specimens inside. Pretty cool, right? How are you going to thank me?"

"Do you know the price I paid for this?" Marcus clutched his face, stunned speechless. "The Vanguard family, can you hear me?" "In front of them, what are the Castillos? What are the Salentos?" He pointed a trembling finger at Marcus. "And you, you idiot, you've thrown away a golden opportunity!" His voice cracked with despair, tears finally spilling. "Father." Marcus's voice was barely a whisper. "I truly didn't know her identity…" "You didn't know?" Julian scoffed. "There's a lot you don't know!"

“It was something I could never buy, never earn. Honestly, it even touched me a little. “And besides, in families like ours, which man doesn’t keep mistresses? Compared to those gold-digging women who’ll sell their souls for money, I would rather you be the one kept like a canary in a gilded cage. “But I did not expect you would actually choose to leave, to run off to this little city and work as a makeup artist. Tell me, is it really worth it? A lifetime of hard work, and you still won’t make in decades what he used to spend on you in a single year.” The coffee I swallowed nearly came back up at her disgusting words. I said flatly, “Did Kyle ever tell you I was abandoned at the gates of an

I settle in my jeep, a yellow baby I bought for myself around three years ago, and drive to my apartment. I change into a more comfortable outfit. I put on a classic high-waist dark skinny jeans and match it with a white cropped sweater with a pair of heels. I clip my bob to the side. There's a knock on the apartment door and I open it to reveal Mr. Henderson. "Oh you're here" I say and hand him the keys to the jeep, selling it. "Yes, and here is your payment" he says, handing me $15,000 in cash, wrapped in a yellow envelope.
