Scary Headlines Novels & Stories

Not with the news clippings popping up on my notifications. I read the headlines over and over, telling myself that I'm dreaming. I'm seeing things. I'm bat shit crazy. “CEO RESIGNS AS STOCKS PLUMMET IN CROSS EMPIRE FALLOUT. WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN…” I feel the color drain from my face. It can't…he didn't— But he did. It's all here, glaring up at me in red print as I stand like a statue in another man's onesie. “CROSS EMPIRE CEO CASSIAN CROSS RESIGNS? TEMPEST IN THE CROSS MANSION?”

The worst of it all was that it was in different headlines across newspapers: The Most Violent Mad Man In Rio Hondo Comes In The Disguise Of A Successor Brian The Most Violent Mad Man Ends Summit With Bite! The Moment The Billionaire Mad Son Bit Another Billionaire! We couldn’t take our eyes off the news when we returned home. Different journalists gave it different strokes, and we became talk of the town. Other pictures of Brian and me kissing at the summit dominated newspapers and social media. I was not only embarrassed, but the caption they gave it saddened me:

KAREN I had dealt with crises before, but nothing had ever moved this fast. Before noon that day, the story was already everywhere. Twelve different media houses had published the same article, each with slightly different headlines but the same dangerous message beneath them. According to the reports, one of our company's most important research projects had been stolen, leaked, and sold to outside buyers. They claimed internal sources had confirmed it. They claimed the board was hiding the truth. They claimed investors were preparing to pull out.

The headlines scream sensationalism as the headlines varies; "Kenzo Exposes Shocking Secrets: Former Wife's Alleged Betrayals Revealed!" "Scandal Unveiled: Inside the Turbulent Relationship of Kenzo and His Ex-Wife" "Kenzo's Tell-All Interview: Ex-Wife's Dark Side Exposed"

My breath hitched as one after another, headlines flashed across the screen, painting a horrifying narrative that I couldn't bring myself to comprehend. "Timothy Hayes Accused of Murdering Ex-Fiancée and Unborn Child." The words hit me like a tidal wave, sending shockwaves of disbelief and despair through my core. A lump formed in my throat, and a sickening feeling twisted my stomach into knots. "No, no, this can't be happening," I muttered, my voice barely above a whisper. The news anchors dissected every gruesome detail, painting a chilling portrait of Timothy as a murderer. The image of him, the man I loved, accused of such heinous crimes, felt like a cruel nightmare I couldn't wake up fr

When I open my phone, I’m proven right as various headlines appear on my screen. “CHRISTIAN STORM’S FUNDRAISER ERUPTS IN SCANDAL AND DISGRACE.” “BITTER EX CAUSES SCENE AT FUNDRAISER OF STORM CEO.” “LEVI STORM HIT BY HIS BROTHER AT FUNDRAISER. WEALTH, SECRETS, AND SCANDALS.” The last headline makes my hand clench into a fist, because they don’t know the half of it. But like the media does with everything, they will devour this like hungry wolves.

"It's okay, MiMi. You've handled many difficult divas for your whole career. Werewolves should be a breeze." The ping of her phone heightens the tension. Her mouth flies open, and that's it. It just stays like that. "It's another news headline," she whispers, fear vibrating in her voice. "This time, it's from 'Hollywood reporting.'" "What does it say?" I ask.

"Yeah, about that..." "Yes, this is about that interview. 'Stacy Miracle denies Clark Paterson in dating rumors', 'Stacy Miracle does not see Clark as boyfriend material', 'Stacy Miracle just confessed he hates Clark Paterson', lalala... All these misleading headlines are served to me like coffee in the morning! You know you could have just said both of you were just close and something along those lines. But you did not, you debunked the guy in the middle of the promotion period. You know what, I'm telling you. You just gained a group of antis that's gonna wait until you do something bad and bash you right in front of your face!" She literally said this with no pauses in between, what a rap

the assistant remarked. With that, Scott's expression registered another wave of shock. He hurried over, taking the newspaper and examining it closely. Despite its age, the newspaper was well-preserved. The headline was clear, detailing a murder case at a certain high school, with casualties listed, and the only survivor being...

But the moment I saw the actual headlines, I mentally broke down on the spot. None of my mental preparations prepared me for what I saw. The first headline read, "Breaking News! A certain A-lister was sent to the hospital because of… anal fissures!" The second headline showed, "This just in! A certain A-lister is carted out of the powerful heir's private residence!" What the heck was going on? I recognized every word I read, but when they were strung together, I found myself unable to comprehend the meaning at all!
