Episode 1

HARRY POV

"Dad!" I said as I picked up the call and began to button up my shirt.

"Son! how are you doing?"

"am fine dad"

"What is the time for your flight?" he asked

"In an hour time".

"I see! we are just so eager to see you son. You know it's been up to seven years" Dad said and I smiled.

"I know Dad and I've really missed you and Mom".

"Right! also your fiance would be here waiting for you". Dad said and I signed.

"I just remembered I have a fiance that I don't even know"

"c'mon son! how could you forget?"

"Dad, what if I don't even like her? what if she isn't my type?"

Dad remained silent for a while before speaking.

"She's my friend's daughter and I believe she a good girl."

"Well, I don't believe we're still in the time where parents choose spouses for their children". I said as I picked up a comb.

"And that's because my only son has refused to get married and he's getting old". Dad said and I mentally rolled my eyes.

"Dad! am just 28 and besides I haven't found true love".

"And you will find true love with Susan" Dad said.

"Susan! who's that?" I asked.

"Fool! your fiance" Dad said.

"oh! so that's her name?"

"silly boy!" Dad said and I laughed.

"I have a plan Dad and I want you and Mom to support me".

"Plan? what plan?"

"It's a plan to know if that Susan girl is good for me".

"But I know she's a good girl" Dad said.

"I know but I want to confirm it myself. Please Dad, you've been very supportive of me from the start. please let me do this"

"Alright son, Just make sure the plan is harmless. Also I'll brief your mom about this"

"Thank you Dad! you're simply the best" I said and he chuckled. with that he hung up.

I finished dressing but this time around, I didn't put on my usual expensive outfit and Jewelries. I wore a casual outfit.

I pressed a button and Darry came in almost immediately.

"sir!" he said and looked at me wondering why am dressed like that.

Darry is my bodyguard, driver and a friend.

"Darry! I have a job for you" I said and he simply nod.

"well, it's more like a plan. I want us to exchange identities"

"uh?"

"yeah! I want you to become Harry Kenwood and I become Darry. I'll do your Job."

"I don't understand. I can't take your place" he said and I smiled.

"it's just for a short period of time Darry. I have a fiance that I don't even know and that is why I want you to take my place so I can observe her behavior."

"but....."

"please Darry, you're my friend and you're the only one I can trust. And don't worry about your salary because I'll continue paying you".

"But what about your parents?"

"Don't worry about that, they are aware of the plan. please Darry"

He nod his head slowly and I chuckled.

"from today, you're Harry Kenwood. you will act like me, wear my clothes and order me around. it's a good thing we have same body size. let's get going before we miss our flight and I'll brief you about the plan on the way." I said as we both walked out.

EMILY POV

"Granny!!" I squealed as I hugged my grandmother tightly.

"oh! Emily, can't you see I'm old and getting weaker by the day? Do you really wanna break my bones. " She said making me smile but I didn't let her go.

"squeeze the remaining life out of me" I laughed as I released her but that didn't last as I winced due to the hard knock granny gave me on my head.

"ouch! granny, it hurts"

"that's what you get for going hard on me" she said.

"You know I can't go hard on you. you know you're my favorite and I love you so much to do that" I teased and she laughed.

"Emily"

"yes granny" I looked at her only for me to see her giving me a weird look.

"why are you home by this time?"

"oh!" I said and released a nervous laugh.

"I.. actually... I.. I'm done job hunting for today". I said stuttering.

she raised an eyebrow at me.

"it's still morning Emily, Don't be a lazy dumbass girl. You're gonna go out there and resume job hunting".

"granny!" I called but she ignored and picked up her knitting thread and needle.

I signed, it's useless talking to granny. I guess I better get my ass out the streets or else I won't have a good night sleep with granny. I picked up my purse and walked out.

I signed as I leaned on the wall with my eyes closed.

it's been 4 hours and the story is still the same, no job vacancy. Today is the worst day of my life. I feel so frustrated.

Just then my eyes caught something on the wall.

Job vacancy!

I moved closer.

Job vacancy of a maid?

Immediately, the gate opened and an expensive car drove out but stopped in front of me.

oops! I hope I'm not in some kind of trouble.

The window rolled down as a lady popped out her head.

" Good day ma'am"

"Good day to you dear, are you here for the Job?"

"yes ma'am"

"Thank goodness, finally! are you sure you're ready for this Job?"

"I'm sure ma'am"

"hold on a sec!" she said and placed a call across to someone while I just stood and admired her beauty.

Just then an elderly woman showed up. Just the same age with granny, I guess.

" Nanny Maria, this is our new maid. Brief her on everything she needs to know." she said and the nanny nodded.

I became confused.

"Does it mean I have the Job?" I asked and she nodded before driving off.

that was easy!.

I felt someone tap me from behind.

It was nanny Maria.

"Go get your things because you'll be staying in the Mansion. when you're back, I'll brief you about your Job". she said and I nodded.

I turned and walked away with a bright smile.

I finally have a Job.

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao
4.3

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

The Ghost Wife's Billion Dollar Tech Comeback

Huo Wuer

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.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
