Anita's Voice: Behind the Headlines Chapter 1 All the way

Chapter 1: All the way

"The angels shall be your guide as you embark on this wonderful journey darling. Nothing you seek will be difficult to get. Go well, you're not alone my dear." Grandma Walls blessed Anita as she accompanied her with the other family members to the car park.

"Thanks Grandma!"

"Sister I can wait to see you on the TV"

"Hope you won't forget to report about me!"

They teased Anita as they went.

Almost was moved to tears upon the idea that she would be leaving her family after so many years of living together.

"I will surely make you all proud of me!" she said, trying to dry of some tears.

"We are sure sister!"

"Here it is!"

A car that they had booked stopped at their front, waiting on Anita to enter.

Kissing them goodbye, she entered the car and it zoomed off. She was leaving Houston for good, she was sure.

After what seemed like forever, they left the park seeing as the car was no longer in sight.

Anita felt bad at first but when she got to some point, she felt grateful to be able to make this move.

As the car passed by, she enjoyed the view of the city.

She was heading to her dream city to pursue her dream career.

From a distance in the car, she could already spot the glitz and glamorous New York City.

Smiling, this was the beginning of her life's journey. She wasn't going to joke with it for even a bit.

New York City is the largest and most influential American metropolis, the most populous and the most international city in the country, going there was the best decision she could make for herself.

California

Andre sat on his chair in his study room, as he listened to a voice tape his assistant had just brought in.

"What do you expect? What makes you think I'm doing this for love? Hell no! I'm only getting in to get some cash. Once my mission is accomplished, I'm out!"

He then smiled, he was not surprised. This was typical of the girls in this city.

Placing his left hand on his jaw, he went into a deep thought. He needed a way out. He needed a wife to go into another level. He needed to get the inheritance but with a genuine person.

A thought then came into his mind. Picking up his phone, he dialed his assistant's phone number.

"Come see me now!" He said, hanging up the phone.

Picking up the glass of wine on his table, he made his way to the balcony.

Andre stood at the centre of the luxurious balcony, placed one hand into his pocket while he sipped his wine, having a beautiful view of the mesmerizing scenery.

He thought about what he had in mind, wondering if it would work out cool. He could not back off, once his mind accept something, it means it's worth doing.

He had got to give it a try.

Not too long after, his assistant made his way into the building. Cass went straight up the stairs to his study room and pushed the door open.

On seeing that his master wasn't in, he decided to check the balcony.

On reaching there, he smiled as he bowed.

"Master Andre!"

"You took long!"

"I'm sorry Master!"

Turning to face his assistant, "follow me!" he said, going back into the study room.

Andre sat down and drafted a few things down on a paper. After that, he passed it to Cass.

Cass took the paper immediately and went through it.

When he read what was written on the paper, he froze.

Looking up at his master, "Master!"

"That's what I have to do. There's no other choice."

Get everything needed ready. Let me know when you're set.

"Yes Master!" Cass said and stood up to leave. He to had no other option. He didn't blame his boss.

The only thing he could do for him was to support his decisions, nothing less.

In a few hours later, everything was set.

Andre appeared out of his room, looking like a cheap staff. The clothes were simple regular clothes that anyone could buy, making him look so normal. The footwear was just a not so good slippers. His hair looked a bit tattered.

"Master, can we really do this? If the rest should see this, I won't be spared."

"What do you mean Cass. Are you now doubting my decisions?"

"Never Master!"

"Then keep shut and let me do my mind."

"Yes Master! Master, the car you asked me to prepare is ready."

"We are good then."

Like that, Andre transformed into an ordinary man.

Cass got changed as well as they entered the simple car and left the mansion. Without informing anyone, they made their way to New York City.

If this is what it will take for me to have peace of mind, I'm willing to. I hope this works out. Andre said to himself as he watched the scenic view.

New York City

Anita had already gotten to New York City, as she lodged in a simple apartment.

Thank goodness for her friend Kate. If it wasn't for her, she probably wouldn't have been there.

Kate and Anita had been best friends from childhood. Due to Kate had lost her parents, she had to leave Houston to start a new life in New York, living with her boyfriend.

If she had not reconnected with her over the phone, her dreams of moving to New York City would have only remained a dream, nothing more.

"Girlie, you look so beautiful. Wow!" Kate gushed over Anita.

"Don't tease me. You look amazing, I should be gushing over you." Anita replied smiling.

"Hahaha! So, this is the apartment I helped you find. Simple yet classy and affordable." Kate said as she started showing the place to Anita.

"Thanks a lot girl! I have no idea what I would have done without you." Anita said, looking at her so gratefully.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother's open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest's voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone-he brought Charla with him. He claimed she'd had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

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.

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.
