looked down at my reddish elbows which were hurting so much. "I'm really sorry... I didn't mean to, I just don't want anything to happen between us at least not yet... if you understand what I mean" he helped me get up as he made me sit comfortably on the couch. The rain had begun to pour and I thought the day could not get any worse... but I could use this to my advantage. I just needed the rain to last longer.

Chapter 1 Ending Mia

At Banshee's house

"Alyssa, you are trying to rush things. I can't just go about casting spells all willy nilly" Banshee could be heard trying to correct her daughter about something.

"Mum, I am not asking you to do much. All I need is just one little spell that I can use on Lakshmi. She is the only thing that is blocking my path right now" Alyssa tried to make her mum understand.

"No Alyssa, the only thing hindering you right now is your laziness. I never expected you to be this lazy.

You are the one that claims you have feelings for Scott so I feel you should be working towards making him like you.

And as for Lakshmi, I feel you just need to get yourself in her good books" Banshee was packing Alyssa's lunch in her school bag while Alyssa was having her breakfast.

"You think I am not trying mum? I am but.." Alyssa suddenly choked on her food.

"But what Alyssa?" Her mum raised an eyebrow as she handed her some water.

"But it's not as easy as you think. Lakshmi isn't the type of person you can easily trick into liking you or doing what you want. She is just.... Well... I don't know how to describe her" Alyssa was getting fed up even by her own words.

"I know Alyssa.... You have to go to school now. When you come back we will talk about this more. And don't forget what I told you...try to get in her good books" she kissed her daughter on the forehead.

At Mia's school

"You have a long face?" Mia blurted out to her friend Lakshmi,who was busy searching for something in her unorganized locker.

"What?" Lakshmi stopped her actions at once as she began to touch her face, checking if it had grown longer than its normal length.

Then she took a sudden pause... It took her a while but she managed to understand what Mia meant by her having a long face.

"It's nothing Mia....I am fine" Lakshmi tried to lie as she slammed the door of her locker.

"Humans normally lie when they feel it's important to...so I am not going to ask you why you are lying" Mia had a faint smile as she opened Lakshmi's locker and began organizing it.

"Did she just tell me plainly that I was lying to her" Lakshmi thought in her head.

"Yes I did," Mia replied as she had already started sorting out Lakshmi's books, putting the big ones beneath and the smaller ones on top.

"I'm not surprised" Lakshmi blinked her eyes numerous times. She knew Mia was reading her mind but she just didn't want to ask any questions about it.

Already the whole situation was messed up, she didn't want any further complications.

"Hey" Alyssa greeted the girls with a box of chocolates in her hand.

"H...ii.." both girls said at the same time, looking so stunned and lost.

"How was your night Lakshmi?" Alyssa had a very big smile on her face.

"It...was...fine. I ... guess" Lakshmi had a very confused look written all over her face as she managed to take the box of chocolate from Alyssa.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Alyssa asked.

"Okay fine... I know what you are thinking. You must be thinking I poisoned these right? But no.. I'll prove it" Alyssa added when she noticed that none of the girls had a reply.

She took one of the chocolates and ate the whole thing. But then the bell was rung and all the kids hurried to class.

"Do you plan to eat that?" Mia asked Lakshmi as they both made their way to class.

"Even if a gun was pointed to my head... I won't still eat this" Lakshmi threw the chocolates in the nearest dustbin as she cleaned her hands with the rag in her bag.

When the two girls entered the class, Alyssa noticed that neither of them was holding the box of chocolate and that really angered her. How long were they going to ruin her plans? How much more would she have to try?.

Banshee's POV

At the castle

I rolled my eyes when I saw that the King was in the swimming pool with 6 girls wearing nothing but a p*nt and br* that barely covered them.

I watched as he laid back and rested on the walls of the pool while he sipped his wine, he didn't even take any notice of me.

"Ahem" I cleared my throat so he could realize that I was standing there.

He turned to look at me as he gave them some kind of signal to leave the place.

"You didn't inform me that you were coming" the King slowly made his way out of the pool with a white towel wrapped around his waist.

"I never knew it was now a law for me to inform you about my arrival. I am sorry your majesty" I said as I took a bow.

"Banshee you just.." the King said as he was short of words. Who wouldn't be after such sarcasm had been thrown at them?.

"Have a sit" he offered as I sat on the chair that was well positioned under the shade that was not too far from the pool.

"So what brings you here?... Maybe you want me to continue from where I stopped the other day?" The King looked at me seductively as he brought his face closer to mine in an attempt to kiss me but I stood up from the chair quickly.

"These days.. I feel that you have gone mad or something. Anyways I have come here to discuss the plan... we don't have much time left.

The full moon is almost here" I folded my lips and my eyes as my eyes began to change their colors as I turned away from him facing another direction.

"Sorry.. I never meant to make you upset. But whatever it is you are planning we have to discuss it inside" he looked around to see his guards and maids standing not too far from us.

"Relax.. no one can hear us. I made sure of that" I smirked as I had already casted a deaf spell on the guards and maids even before I made the King notice my arrival.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan

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.

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.

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
