Second Lead Chapter 1 Back

Evangeline Mayford

Beautiful. Blonde. Young. Rich.

Usually this 4 words screams 'The Perfect Main Character'. Usually with this 4 words, people will have their eyes on you, will worship you, will have men lining up and just living the best life with all attention on you.

But not for me.

I was born with the Second Lead curse. Wherever I go, I never get the spotlight. I'm always the villain.

V.I.L.L.A.I.N

I was living the Cinderella's Step Sister's life. Anastasia and Drizella. I think that's the perfect image to describe me.

People always think that I'm the mean girl. They always see me as a threat. I don't blame them at all but I blame my parents for it.

I was born with a silver spoon. I was born rich and never even struggle with money. My parents wanted me to be the perfect daughter.

They wanted me to excel at school, excel at piano, excel at multiple language and they want me to be the perfect heiress to their jewelry and fashion company. They sent me to fashion school and made me learn design so I can design my own jewelry once I take over the company.

That's not all..

They taught me to be selfish. They taught me how to get everything that I want without thinking about others. They even praise me for winning my art competition by me 'accidentally' push my classmate's vase.

I was raised to be competetitive and be number one in everything that I do.

And I did.. except when it comes to love.

When it comes to love, I never win. I was always the second lead or the villain in someone else's love story. Even though I excel academicly, people don't really pay attention to me. They already expected me to have that in my blood since I come from a rich family.

I'm lonely, I want attention.. but no ones giving me that. Even my parents, their busy working and just mingle with people not caring about their daughter needing their attention.

I blew the candles and looked at my favorite cheese cake in front of me. My parents sent it to me or should I say.. their secretary sent it to me because today is my 25th birthday. I always spent my birthday alone, in my room, since I have no friends and family to share my birthday with.

I grabbed a fork and started to dig my birthday cake. I looked at it without any emotion and I don't even bother to make a wish. My wish will never come true anyway and I know.. I'll die as an old virgin anyway.

My phone rang and it's my mom.

I picked up the call lazily and put it on loud speaker.

"Yes, mom?" I said as I ate a big bite of cheese cake.

"Logan will come to the garden party this evening, I'm expecting you to come, Eva." My mom said in a not so nice tone.

"Thank you for the birthday wishes, mother." I said sarcasticly knowing that she forgot that today is my birthday.

"Oh.. right. Happy birthday, Eva. You'll come to the party right?" She asked and I sighed.

"I'll think about it." I said knowing that she'll be disappointed at me if I don't come.

"Good, I'll see you there." She ended the call and I threw my phone to my bed. I turned on the TV and started watching Mission Impossible. I kept eating my cake when I heard a knock on the door. I told whoever behind it to come in.

"Ms. Mayford, do you want to eat your lunch here or downstairs?" My maid asked and I shook my head.

"I'll skip." I said without looking at her. She immediately walked out leaving me alone. I continued to eat my cake and decided to sleep. It's raining outside so it's the perfect timing to sleep.

"I'm glad that you made it." My brother, Sean, hugged me tightly.

"It's good to be home." I said as I pulled back. Sean helped me with my luggage and we walked from the airport to the parking lot. He put my luggage in his trunk and I got into the passenger seat.

"Dad will be happy to see you." Sean said as he got into the car.

"Nice idea, Sean." He was the one who arranged this surprise. Tomorrow is my dad's 60th birthday and he always told Sean that he misses me. Sean told me about his plan to surprise our dad by me coming home after almost 4 years not coming home.

That's why I decided to take 2 months break from working in Dubai and decided to work in the New York restaurant instead. I can control everything from New York since communication is not a problem with technologies these days.

Besides I promised my bestfriends, Logan and Timmy, to spend time with them since it's been a long time since I come back to New York. I've been running to reach my dream without rest for more than 8 years and it's time to have a small break.

I deserve it.

"You really don't have a girlfriend huh? You should find a girlfriend while you're here." Sean said and I laughed at his statement.

"You know how much I love Dubai, I rather find a girlfriend there." I said and Sean chuckled.

"There's nothing can change your mind huh? You love Dubai so much that you'll live there for the rest of your life?"

"Yeah." I said confidently. "Nothing will change my mind about Dubai."

"You should find an airstewardess to be your girlfriend. I heard Emirates' airstewardess are stunning.." I chuckled at his statement.

"They are but.. I don't really want my girlfriend to be away most of the time. I'll stick to an ordinary girl." I said as I took out my phone to text Logan and Timmy that I'm already in New York.

"Can't wait to see mom and dad's reaction that you're here."

"Me too. I miss them so much."

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.
