Chapter 1 1

Jean Verodine

Rain, Netflix, Bed, Snuggle in my softest blanket and Junky Snacks.

These are the things that make your life perfect and happy. It's simple, right? I wish I could do that right now but too bad I have to go to work.

Looking out to the window of my van , watching the rain drops dropped all over my window. Adele's song was playing on the background giving me the feelings of missing home and my comfy bed. I love my work but sometimes we need our 'ME' time right?

"Jean, we're here." My manager Claire called me and I turned my head to her. I pouted at her and she gave me a come-on-let's-get-your-butt-to-work look.

"I don't want to work." I whined but still open the door lazily. I took my clutch, put my sunglasses on and got out from the van. I dragged myself inside the studio.

When I walked into the studio, our usual photographer James Clodarian was currently talking to one of the staff before he turned his head to me. He smiled and I hugged him briefly.

"Hello Jean, long time no see!" James put his arm around me and I chuckled.

"Yes James, long time no see. It's been awhile right? 3 months? How are you doing these days?" I asked him as we walked inside the shooting set.

"Yes around 2 months I think, I'm good. Thankyou for asking beautiful but I think you need to get your little butt to the changing room. We'll talk later, okay?" He said.

"No promises James, I'm a busy woman." I teased him and he chuckled.

"You'll make time for me for sure, now go" He pushed me to my changing room. I walked inside the changing room and sat on the chair that has my name on it.

The hairstylist started to do my hair and the makeup artist started to do her job. Today's concept must be natural because they gave me a really light make up and loose curls for my hair. Man, I love natural but I love bad and sexy concept more.

Suddenly the door bursted open and I looked through the mirror to see who did that. I smiled widely to see my bestfriend Alexis Sierra stood there smirking. I got up and walked to her, attacking her with a tight hug.

"Hey bestie!" She said patting my back.

"My Birthday girl!" I hugged her tightly until she pretended like I was choking her. I released the hug and laughed along with her.

"You will come tonight right?" She invited me to her birthday party a few days ago, I haven't give her my answer yet because Claire likes to make a sudden schedule for me.

"Yes, I'll go." I said and she squealed in excitement. I chuckled looking at her expression but suddenly the staff called our name. We both looked at each other and turned to our stylist to change our clothes into our sports attire.

"Jean, please go to the set now." One of the staff said and I got up from my seat and walked out from the room. I walked to the set along with the other Angels.

Today's theme was sport commercial, where we do our workout and get film at the same time. It's a fun commercial to shoot because this is what we always do in daily basis and it's fun to do it with friends. In this shoot, we spent a really fun time with the other Angels.

"That's a wrap girls!" James announced and he gave each of us a hi five.

"Hey, babe" Nicole slung her arm around my shoulder. Nicole here is an Angel too and she's a really easy going person to be with.

"Hello my favorite blonde." I smiled to her and she chuckled.

"So you will go to Lexy's party tonight right?" She asked as she crossed her arms in front her chest and raising her eyebrows waiting for my answer.

"Of course, won't miss it" I winked at her.

"You often ditch us Jean." She pouted and I chuckled at her.

"Don't worry, I'm 100% sure that I will go tonight." I promised to her and she gave me a thumbs up. She pulled out her hair band and let her blonde hair fall out perfectly. We both walked inside to changing rooms place. It's so refreshing when the cold air from the air conditioner hit our body because we were sweating a lot and it was hot the sport set.

Claire threw a small towel to me for wiping my sweat. I walked into the changing room and changed back into my black shorts and white muscle tee. I removed the makeup from earlier and re-do it because I'm not comfortable after sweating a lot earlier.

"I have no schedule right?" I asked Claire.

"Yes, you're free after this." Lexy suddenly bursted into my changing room and she gave me a cheeky look.

"Up for Starbucks?" Lexy asked and I looked at Claire. She nodded approving me to go. I got up from my seat and walked to the door. Lexy linked her arm to mine and pulled me out.

"Just two of us?" I asked and she shook her head

"Nicole and Charlotte will come with us." She answered it as she took her phone out and texted someone. Nicole joined us after changing into her comfortable clothes too.

"Charlotte, as usual the snail." Nicole said and I can't help but chuckle.

"Charlie" Nicole called her loudly so she can get her butt out here. Charlie rushed out from her changing room.

"Let's go." She said and I can't help but shook my head laughing secretly. We walked out from the studio and all we need now it's to walk a little because Starbucks is just one block away. Suddenly my phone rang, it's my mom. I gestured the girls to go first.

"Hey mom." I picked up her call in the most lazy tone.

"Jean" She called me.

"Yes mom?" I really wanted to end the call right now.

"In two weeks is your grandmother's birthday and I want you to come home that day. Make sure your schedule is empty." She said and I sighed big time. I don't want to deal with my family these days so I'm not interested to go back home.

"I'm busy." I said simply because that's the only reason that appeared in my mind.

"Jean" She gave me a warning tone.

"I'm busy mom, I have a lot schedule ahead."

"Make time for her, she really wants you to come." She begged me.

"I have no time to go home mom, I have a pack schedule." I said in a firm tone so she won't beg again.

"How can you do this to her? It's her 80th birthday, you must go!" I bet they will throw her a big party so I don't want to meet a lot of people there. I hate the fact that my grandmother loves to make big party every birthday. She will brag about me being a model to her friends and that's quite annoying for my side.

"What's the point? It will be the same as the 78th and 79th birthday." I looked down to the ground to think another alibi to tell my mom.

"I don't care, Jean. I want you to be there!" She hung up the call making me piss. I kicked a rock in front of me. Suddenly a car alarm went off and my eyes widen. I froze in place looking at the car blankly. The lights went on and off and the car alarm kept ringing. I gasped when I realize the rock that I kicked earlier hit the car's window. Since the rock was quite big, it gave the car a scratch.

"What the-" a brown haired man came out from the Armani store just right in front of the car. He cursed a couple of words before clicking his car key to make the car's alarm stopped. He turned to me since I'm the only person who was standing there.

"I'm sorry." I said to him.

He shot me with his cold green eyes, his eyes went down to my body completely checking me out. I looked at him glaring but I was greeted with his good looking face. He has a sexy jaw line, perfect build body that fit perfectly with his grey Armani suit and lastly his thin beard that makes him look more sexy and demanding.

"Done checking me out?" He asked with his eyebrows raised and a smirked.

"Sorry." I said looking to his car's door. It has a scratch from the rock that I kicked earlier.

"So what are you going to do with that beautiful?" He asked and I turned to him. He pointed to the scratch but in seconds his eyes landed on my legs

"Eyes up here!" I hissed at him, what a rude man!

"Feisty, huh?" He smirked looking straight to my eyes, my heart skipped a beat for a second but I quickly got back into my sense. I pulled out my purse from my bag and took 500$ from it. I looked at the man and pulled his hand out. I put the 500$ to his hand but he looked at me with confuse eyes.

"Did I ask for your money?" He asked looking at me with a really unreadable expression.

"I made a scratch, this money is to repair it" I said with a really uninterested tone. I'm in a really bad mood now, I don't want to deal with this kind of guy right now.

"Jean" Lexy called me as she walked towards me. She looked at me with what-happen-with-you look. She turned to the man in front of me and her eyes widen.

"So, Jean, What are you going to do about this?" The man asked and pointed at the scratch.

"Ms. Verodine for you, Mr. Unknown" I said coldly looking at the scratch that I made.

"What happen?" Lexy stood beside me and whispered.

"I kicked a rock quite hard and that happened" I said sighing.

"Jean Verodine, I heard that name somewhere" The man said but I turned to him.

"I already gave you the money right? So goodbye." I said to the man and I took Lexy's hand pulling her to the Starbucks. Lexy was calling my name but I ignored her. I need a cold drink fast to calm down my burning emotions.

"What took you so long?" Nicole asked and my eyes were so focus on the menu.

"She kicked a rock and made a scratch on a hot guy's car." Lexy answered Nicole .

"Java Chip Frap sounds nice." I said to myself.

"What's his name? Did you get his number?" Charlie asked and I turned to her disbelief. I shook my head to her. I've always been cold to strangers, especially guys. I don't like being civil to someone I just met. I won't care.

"I think I've seen him before, his face was so familiar." Lexy said and I shrugged completely not interested.

"I don't care about him, I gave him money to repair the damage." I said and looked at the menu again.

"Jean" Nicole called but I ignored her.

"Jean!" Charlie called me this time.

"What? I'm trying to choose what I want to drink!" I said as I scanned the menu again.

"Jean!" Lexy called and that made me turn to her. I raised my eyebrows. She eyed me to my back and I turned my head to see the man from earlier looking at me with amuse in his eyes while holding my 500$.

"What are you doing here? You need more?" I asked coldly.

"Jean! Don't be so cold!" Lexy warned with a small tone and I looked at him raising my eyebrows waiting for him to say something.

"What are you going to do with my car?" He asked and I pointed at the cash.

"I already gave you the mon-" He put the money on the table.

"I don't need money." He stated and put his hands on his pocket. He looked up to me and I realized there a lot of people looked at him.

"What do you want then?" I asked as I crossed my arms in front my chest and turned to the menu again. I'm completely not interested to deal with this man. Can he take the hint already?

"Do you have a boyfriend?" He asked and I turned to him so fast. I raised my eyebrows looking at him suspiciously.

"She doesn't." Lexy answered and I glared at her for telling him that.

"Good, give me your phone number." He said and sat down on the seat beside me.

"No, I don't have a phone." I said and I knew it was stupid. He pointed at my phone and I looked away.

"You wound my heart babe." I was disgusted with that word. I looked at him annoy.

"I already gave you the money, do you need more?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Your number Jean." He said my name and I felt so annoy when my name was called from his mouth. I ignored him instead of answering.

"Do you have it?" He asked Nicole and I eyed her immediately. She looked at the man and shook her head. I stood up planning to leave the guy to order my drink.

Suddenly he stood up and pulled my wrist making me face him. He towered me with his height and he eyed me.

"So Jean, give me your phone number or I'll look for it by myself." He said in a serious tone, I pulled my wrist from his grip.

"Try me." I said with a challenging tone and walked towards the cashier to order.

"Jean" Lexy came up to me and I turned to her

"What?" I asked.

"You just mess with the wrong guy." She stated with a worry expression making me confuse.

"What? What did I do?" I asked because I never felt that I did something wrong.

"People were whispering and talking about that guy, he seems familiar to me and I was right. Do you know who he is?" She asked and I shook my head.

"Who is he?" I asked

"Blake Coster."

Great.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

Clara Bennett

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Temple Madison

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancĆ©, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."
