Half Past Destiny. The Dragon Savior Chapter 1 Jenna

Jenna sat on the steps of the old stone church. She leaned up against the steps and traced her finger along with the cement of the stairs. She looked towards the street in front of her. Cars drove on the street and people walked by. The town she lived in was called Pleasant Valley but it wasn't very pleasant for her. She waited on the steps for her foster parents and their children to come out, The Morgs. Today was Jenna's 17th Birthday but it didn't matter. Jenna had been in foster care since she was three. Not all her foster parents were bad.

The Morgs were nice enough people but they weren't her family. They doted on their biological but not her. Birthdays, holidays vacations, she was rarely included. They weren't mean or vile like some of her previous foster parents. She had clean clothes, food and she went to school. They just didn't treat her like family.

Jenna's mother was an alcoholic. Jenna had been placed in care one fateful night when her mother had taken a ride with her drunk. There was a car accident. Thankfully, no one was hurt, but they took her away when the police came into the apartment and saw their living conditions. She had pleaded with her mother many times to get sober and get help, but it never worked. She had been to multiple rehabilitation centers and therapy but nothing stuck.

She looked away from the traffic and at the great big tree, she sat under next to the steps. The wind blew and she remembered all of her previous foster parents.

Jenna was in a group home from 3 to 5. At 5, she was placed with the Millers until she was 10. The Millers were wonderful. Mrs. Miller couldn't have children of her own. They wanted to adopt Jenna but her mother wouldn't sign off. That made Jenna so incredibly mad. The Millers had no other children. She was like their biological child. She was included in everything. Vacations, holidays, anything family-related. She even had her own room, and she decorated how she wanted. The millers tried for 4 years to get Jenna's mother to change her mind, after that year they were placed with another child. They ended up adopting him and Jenna was placed at the Canters. It had broken her heart that they didn't want to keep her then. That felt like home but they wanted to build a relationship with their son with no other interference which meant Jenna had to go.

She was with the Canters from 10 to 14. They were also nice people but after what happened with the Millers, Jenna didn't allow herself to get close to them. She had to build up a wall so she wouldn't get hurt again. When Jenna was 14, Mrs. Canter had gotten sick. She had stage 4 breast cancer and she passed away. So she was placed with the Morgs.

The church doors opened and out walked The Morgs. Evelyn ( Mrs. Morg) was talking to the pastor. "Oh yes, of course. I would love to help organize the bake sale for the fundraiser. We can make it so much fun." She smiled as she spoke and touched the pastor's arm. Jenna rolled her eyes. Out here in public, they looked like the perfect family but at home, they were anything but. Mr. Morg (Mark) smiled and nodded in agreement. Out stepped their two children. Max and Melanie. Max and Melanie were 10 years old and twins. They were annoying but they weren't terrible.

Mrs. Morg looked down at Jenna " Come along dear. Let's go home and celebrate your birthday." Jenna smiled up at her and got up, playing the picture of the perfect family. They got to their dodge journey SUV and everyone climbed in.

Mr. Morgs hands were on the steering wheel, his knuckles were white with anger. Jenna knew it was coming. She passed the twins their tablets and headphones. " How about you guys watch something on youtube while we drive home?" she said smiling. The twins took the tablets and headphones and zoned out. Jenna braced herself.

Mr. Morg looked at his wife. She was sitting in the passenger seat, playing on her phone. " WHY Evelyn?! Why would you even agree to help right now? You know everything is wrong right now. In our marriage, in our relationship? Why are you trying to ruin my life further?!"

Mrs. Morg had an affair. On the outside, yes, they were the perfect family. Pillars of the community. They helped with local charities, helped the homeless, and even fostered children. They had a perfect reputation. Mr. Morg was running for city council and his wife's adultery could never be known. There couldn't be a scandal now.

Evelyn looked at him with disdain on her face. "Well maybe if you would put your family first! ME FIRST, I wouldn't have been lonely. I would have stayed within our marriage. You don't even try, Mark. All you care about is your career!! I can't take it anymore. When the election is over, I want a divorce." She scream.

The car pulled into the driveway and Evelyn got out, slamming the door. Mr. Morg sighed. He turned and looked at Jenna, looking out the window pretending she hadn't heard any of that. Mark spoke, " remember, your life is good here. Do not tell anyone any of this. It would suck if we suddenly had to tell her social worker you couldn't live here anymore." Jenna nodded. She already knew about all of it. He was right. Her life wasn't bad here. They weren't her family but she was content. They lived in a huge house. Almost a mansion. She had her own room and there was a pool. She had 1 more year until she aged out of the system. She could make it.

Jenna tapped the twins and motioned for them to go inside. They all climbed out of the car and walked inside the house. Jenna walked up to her room and closed the door.

She could keep their secrets. It's not like she had ever had control over her life anyway. She had been moved from a different home to a different home so many times. She really just wanted to control her own destiny.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

Clara Bennett
5.0

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.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.7

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Marrying My Runaway Groom's Powerful Father

Temple Madison
4.6

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 fiancé, 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."
