Rise Hollywood Novels & Stories

She was a grown-up woman, and Adaline tried to give her the space she needed, but that didn’t make her worry any less. “No,” Richard said grimly. “I’m sure she’s ok. We raised a smart girl…” but he didn’t sound that convincing. In reality, he was worried about his little princes too. “When are Henry and Liz coming?” he changed the subject to his younger son, trying to sway his own worry as well as Adaline’s. “Any moment now. They left Peters’ almost an hour ago. Michael, Anna, and the kids will be in Hawaii for a month more.”

That night, Kenna didn’t return. I’ve been alone for a long time, but for some reason, the empty room feels even more lonely. I sit on my bed, looking around the room. Maybe because it’s Kenna, or maybe she just got lucky, but our room is on the top floor, overlooking the small hills behind the big house. I’d heard that Kaylani and Everett had built their house there and that Fenian and Tesha had built one when they knew they were going to have a baby too. I have the window open, so I can smell the scents of fires burning in fireplaces in their homes. I imagine that both homes look like something out of a Hallmark movie. That’s really the only reference I have to homes with fireplaces. I had

The lights were bright in my eyes, making it hard to see individual faces clearly, but I could make out Julian in the front row, sitting forward slightly, watching me with complete focus. I raised the microphone, waiting for the applause to settle. "Thank you," I said, my voice surprisingly steady. "Thank you all for being here tonight." More applause, smaller now, encouraging. "This collection is called Rising," I continued, the words I'd practiced flowing naturally now that I was actually speaking them. "And it represents something very personal to me." I paused, looking out at the audience. "We all face moments that try to break us," I said. "Moments where staying down seems easier than g

Then we will have 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and finally 8, which is 'The Rise of the Queen'. In addition to that plan, I'm working on other books to get ready to launch, which aren't as big a project as this one, and I also have my daily life to focus on. So I apologize again if it seems like I'm moving too slowly, but it will be coming - I don't break my word in that sense, even if it sometimes takes a little bit of hmph to get my motor running - IYKYK haha Anyway, I hope everyone isn't too disappointed, and when the cover for book 2 is ready, I'll upload it to my socials, along with the release date. Lots of love and giggles, Kat xx

In my previous life, I was so furious that I trembled. Jason had added, "Aunt Eva, it's just for clout. Once I make enough money, the people online will just forget about me. You won't lose anything. It's just words. It can't hurt you anyway!" That family took advantage of me, and I ended up dying due to depression. Daniel got fired from his job, too. Henry, on the other hand, got bullied in college. In the end, he had no choice but to move away to the countryside. None of my family ended up well, all thanks to Jason.

"Raymond, your Dream Paradise is gone. Where's the fun supposed to come from now? This whole trip's been a bust." Raymond gave a nervous laugh. "Don't worry, Mr. Wright. I've already reached out to bring back those actresses from Eastonia who were supposed to leave town. I paid extra to make sure they'd be here tonight." Winston's eyes lit up, and a sleazy grin spread across his face. "Oh? You mean the real deal? You got those girls back? Man, you get me, Raymond. Unlike these amateurs. All makeup and fake giggles but no real skills. Ugh. Those Eastonian girls, though… that sweet little moan? Sends chills right down my spine."

Soon, Ken comes to the fork in the path, but he turns to the right and I relax a bit. “This takes us through my personal favorite part of the gardens – the rose garden – and then to the entrance to the castle.” Ken shares. The pair drive along in silence as Keegan takes in the magnificent sights before her. The walls on either side are becoming increasingly lower and the path opens up to a rose garden. The rose bushes form a near complete circle around them, save for the path through, and on either side sit two stone benches. “I’ve never seen so many roses blooming in one place, and the smell is incredible.” Keegan shares in awe.

“They are trying to be careful so it’s not a trap, which leaves us no choice but to reveal who I am to them.” Moses’s eyes brightened. “Are we…?” Scar nodded. “Yes. We need to--” his words were cut off as Simi hurried into the room. What is it?” Simi turned to Moses. “Hayden is coming.” That was all the warning he needed. Moses nodded at Scar and Simi and moved fast out of the building through the back. They were always careful not to be caught together, and Simi knew that much. “Where is that nincompoop!” Hayden barged in a few minutes later. Scar was reclined against the bed with Simi by the side when he entered. “Are you still on the bed you bastard?” Hayden barked.

I got up, my hands in my pockets. “There is a reason, Alpha Rafe, I swear there is a reason. I found out a secr…” My phone rang, cutting him off. “What is it?” “It’s your Mum, Rafe, she collapsed.” Skipper cried over the phone. Fear instantly gripped me that for a few seconds, I couldn't lift a step. And when I eventually did, I never looked back at the room or Grover. “Alpha Ryder?” The doctor scurried after me as soon as I stepped inside the emergency unit.

Charlotte’s POV I could not believe that Jack was paying for my tattoos with a blood Harley. I know nothing about bikes, but from the way that Reece looked like he was about to cry I was guessing it was a good one. I tried to hold my breath as Jack lifted me into the car. His hand went to my arse again and I had to hold in my moan. What the hell was this man trying to do to me. Once we were all in the car Jacks phone pinged. I was so used to his phone always going off that I did not think anything off it until he started to curse.
