Her obsession over Gresso was unnatural and must be curtailed or she’d lose her mind. She was a thirteen-year-old girl pining over her first crush, pestering anyone who was friends with her crush for information about him. She couldn’t help but be curious about him. Why did Gresso turn out the way he did? What kind of life choices did he make that put him on the path that resulted in him being imprisoned in a supermax for life? She was born with a brain that needed constant input, but she couldn’t ask her Ate about him. Her father didn’t raise her to become a gossip. While she was growing up, he used to tell her that rumors ruined lives.

Madison added with a contemptuous twist of her blood-red mouth, “but trust me, dating the head cheerleader when you are in your thirties is desperate and pathetic. You are the kind of classy babe his Playboy bunny wishes she could be.” The words were out of her mouth before i realized they were coming. “Thanks, maddy, but I seriously doubt that most supermodels wished they were a huge failure in their parents’ eyes for getting divorced before providing them with grandchildren.” The alcohol made me feel bold enough to admit, “What if I want to be a Playboy bunny like her? What if I want to drive men wild with my huge, perky breasts and wicked ways? What if I want to weigh fifteen pounds too m

"His name was listed in Forbes magazine as a billionaire under 35. And lately it was again in the magazine as one of the hundred richest people in the world." "I didn't realize you were that cool, Uncle." Caroline looked proud; she gave two thumbs up in appreciation. "There was once a news report that said Mr. Madison was not interested in women because he had never seen a woman." "You really don't like women, Uncle?" Caroline looked at Jared seriously. She was really starting to get interested in getting to know more. "Of course he's interested in women. Don't you realize how Mr. Madison looks at you?" Donny said it firmly.

the little girl asked, eyes wide with curiosity. Arah bent over, stroking the girl’s cheek. “It's magic,” she replied with a wink. As she picked up her paper bag and turned to walk away, she overheard the girl excitedly asking her mom about the magic hair. The mom explained that her hair had only been colored that way. Arah walked on with a smile. After grabbing some snacks, she took one last stroll around the amusement park before heading home. Something made her pause in her tracks, and she found herself in front of a tent draped with a tapestry of deep purples and reds.

Cindy taught magic at SMA (Seven Magics Academy) now. She was good at it too. The few times I watched her, I was impressed by her ability to get her point across. And she was passionate about what she taught. She was inspiring. Of course, she still had a seriously crazy love of fashion, while I still mostly wore jeans and tee shirts. Nothing fancy. I kept my long hair pulled back in a ponytail, or sometimes I just brushed it and went, leaving it wild. Classes at the human high school were simple enough.

I urged Leon. "I've heard things, about Alex. Are they true?" He bluntly asked. My jaw ticked at the invasive question. Out of all people, I was not expecting him to ask me those kinds of questions. Nothing pisses me off more than when people ask me if shit the tabloids spew out. Unfortunately, Leon didn't notice me being uncomfortable with the question. "It's not true. Why are you asking me things you hear from people?" I asked, already annoyed.

The feature ran in the March issue of the magazine under the title: The Truth About Her Body: Four Women, One Doctor, and the Science of What Was Actually Wrong. It was the most-read piece in the magazine's forty-year history. The magazine's website crashed twice on publication day.

Five thousand dollars a month. It’s so easy. I have the link in no time. I send it to Roman’s work address. I settle in and create content. Who knows? Maybe there’s a bored billionaire somewhere who’d really like to see my cute, pink painted toes. Why didn’t I think of this before? I peel off my T-shirt and try to get a good shot of my cleavage. The lighting in here sucks. I’m aware that I’m punch drunk, bordering on manic, but I can’t seem to calm myself down.

Every possible way he could reach me, I cut it all off in one go. 12 years of love and desperate efforts to please him were completely wiped out at that moment. Back in the hospital room, I dug through my suitcase for the ebony cross Mom had left me. Once found, I fastened it around my neck. … At 3:00 pm, Marco Fabbri pushed open the door and entered. He had been one of Mom's most loyal subordinates back in the day and had kept a quiet watch over me all these years. Whenever Elena tormented me or the family pushed me aside, he would somehow find a way to offer a helping hand in secret.

“N-no… Conrad, I’m sorry! I know I wronged you before. I will make it right! Please, spare my dad!” He scrambled onto his knees before Conrad as the latter looked down at him. He seemed completely unmoved by the gesture. “All you have to do is spare my father’s life,” Conrad said quietly.
