But her dream started to come true when she is the only one who can see the ghost of her crush after he had an accident and went into coma. But would this dream be the kind she wants to wake up from?

Chapter 1 First Chapter

It was a pleasant friday morning, the sky was blue like never before as the warm sunshine gleamed gracefully on my skin. I could hear a dog barking continuously from a distance, people chattering as they walked by and I just tapped my feet on the ground relentlessly. It felt like it was just the perfect morning for a teenager for a teenage girl like me but it really wasn't because I felt I might get to school late if my brother didn't come out of the house in few moments. I was dressed in a blue jean and a grey long sleeve shirt with a jacket over my shirt.

My hair was packed in a ponytail style but not in a very neat way and I had no makeup on but I had my glasses on. My glasses were as big as the reading glasses in the 80s, which made me look more nerdy. I patiently waited for my brother to come out of the house, while I kept wondering who was the girl between I and my brother. My brother always took forever to come out of the house everyday while I wait for him outside and stare at people going and coming especially the house opposite ours. I was already used to it that I sometimes forgot that I was even going to school or waiting for my annoying brother. I didn't have a choice but to wait for my him since he was the one driving me to school. We both owned the car because our parent could only afford one for their cute little twins but no one could ever know the car also belonged to me because my brother was always driving. He never allowed me to drive whenever we were going to school. "I told you to get more milk" A woman yelled across the street. "We have enough milk for God sake" her husband replied. "I don't care, I just want more milk in this house." She yelled again. Obviously she was heavy with a baby in her stomach and seemed to soon deliver. "I don't care, just get the milk. I don't want those milk in the fridge. My baby needs fresh milk" "Okay...I'll get the milk after work" her husband replied "No, get it nowww...." she bursted into tears. I really didn't get why she had to cry over the milk. Maybe it was because pregnant women were just like that. "Come on sweetie...." her husband moved closer to her and hugged her "don't cry, I promise to get the milk. Ok" "Ok" she became calm all of a sudden and I think I smiled that moment. "But I need to be at work now, I'll get it when coming home" he said in a pitiful way. "I hate you....go away, I don't ever wanna see your face again" she pushed her poor husband away with speed and she started to cry again. "Come on honey...please" her husband pleaded as he tried to get a hold of her. I giggled softly as I watch the two go on and on about the milk issue, it happened every morning between both of them but the husband seems patient that is why he had not been able to run away from his pregnant wife's madness. I soon got tired of watching when I felt a slight pain in my head, I gently rubbed my head with my hand like I was massaging it. I had been feeling the pain ever since I woke up that morning but I thought it would go in no time. I adjusted my glasses, looked at my wrist watch and noticed I was really getting late for school "oh no....come on Max" I whispered to myself as I bit down on my lower lip. Shortly after, my brother walked out of the house, looking cute and macho in his tight jeans; which didn't really look that good on him, his hair was dark and shinny, he sure must have spent hours on it to make it look so good. Despite looking good, it somehow irritated me. Everything about Max irritated me. Ughh!!! He smirked as he walks closer to me with his backpack over his shoulder. I slightly shook my head and raised my brow as the sight of seeing my brother walking majestically like we still had enough time to make it to school. "Enjoying the morning show?" Max asked hopping to annoy me a little more. He was good at making fun of me and frustrating me. He really didn't care that we were siblings or twins. "You know...I've been wondering who the lady is between us because I get to finish before you and even wait for years before you come out of the house" I said raising my brow sternly at him. "Wait...what?" Max placed his right hand behind his ear pretend not to hear what I just said "what did you say? So you still think you're a girl?" He scoffed "dear sister when last did you even used the mirror? 'Cos if you have been using it, you would know exactly what you look like right now" I looked at myself and wished I could really see my face at that moment. Did I really look that bad? I narrowed my eyes at him and wish I could get him for what he said "I'll make you eat your words" I furrowed my brows at him. I hated my brother but there was really no way I could get back at him. He was always two steps ahead of me in mischiefs. "Oh yeah?" Max asked knowing I just made an empty threat. "I've been winning like one thousand times and you have won zero times, so..... I don't think so" "I hate you" I yelled and kicked my feet "I doubt that too....just get in or you'll find your way to school on you own" "I also have a right to this car, you know that right?" I said "Who cares?" Max scoffed. "I'm telling dad to take the car" I threatened. Like I would really do that. "You wouldn't" Max said with confidence knowing he has something to back himself up "except you want Tia to know how you feel about her boyfriend" "Uhh..." I looked at him with disgust. He was just so evil. Tia was a cheerleader in my school and she was the girlfriend of the school soccer team captain. Well her boyfriend happened to be the boy I was crushing on and I wouldn't be too good for me if Tia found out. No one wants to mess with anyone in the cheerleading team. "Since when have you been crushing on him? Since he was born?" Max asked jokingly. He was really having fun with it that morning. "Just shut up, Max" "Oh..." he snapped his fingers "I think I know, before his dad met his mum. Yea" he laughed out loud. I stood still, staring and thinking of what to do to my brother. I wish I could shove some carrots into his throat, maybe that will shut him up. "Don't look at me like that, okay. Get into the car now" Max said and hopped into the car. I stood still on a spot without moving thinking of what to really do with my brother. He could see the hate I felt for him at that moment but he wasn't bothered "hurry up" he shouted I got into the car angrily, slammed the door and fasten my seat belt. Max fastened his seat belt too, started the car and zoomed off caring less about how I felt. That moment, I wanted to kill my brother...

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

SHANA GRAY

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.

It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
