Meg's Friend by Alice Abigail Corkran

"You promised me your virginity and your body. I was foolish to pass on the first, but like a debt collector, I am here to take the latter which belongs to me. Your body is mine, Rosianna." A loved one who became a stranger and a heart filled with secrets... "Oh, Rosy," Santos whispered, his voice sending shivers down her heated body. "Do you remember?" "What?" she asked, even though she feared that she already knew what he was asking. He leaned closer to her ear. "That night six years ago? Right here, in this house, in this room...you begged me to take your body" Her eyes closed at the pain of the memory. "Let me go, Santos. I don't want you anymore." she lied. Pressing his body against hers, his hand slid underneath the towel and caressed her there. She leaned into him and moaned throatily. He nibbled at her ear, and whispered, "That's not what your body is saying, darling."

"I'm terribly sorry my champagne found your face so magnetic, Captain." Theodore Ashford does not get angry. No - he smiles. Slow. Amused. Dangerous. "No apology necessary, Lady Cruelton. In fact, I insist you join us for dinner next week. I find you... fascinating." - Beatrice Whitmore died once already. She wakes up inside a 1940s romance novel - not as the heroine, but as the infamous purple-haired villainess destined for scandal, disgrace, and an early grave. Everyone hates Lady Cruelton.

The more she's despised, the longer she lives. Reform is fatal. Kindness is suicide. Being terrible should be easy. Until Captain Theodore Ashford - decorated war hero, heir to an estate as vast as his ego - refuses to despise her. Immune to her schemes, unfazed by her insults, he watches her with knowing amusement... as if he sees through every calculated performance. Faking her death was supposed to secure her escape from the plot. Instead, his attention drags her deeper into it. Now Beatrice must outmaneuver gossip, rewrite a story determined to destroy her, and earn enough Hatred Points to survive - without falling for the only man who doesn't hate her. Because in a world where love is the true death sentence for a villainess... Cruelty might be her only way out

Hayley is impulsive and last time she was away for a long time. - What do you think she's going to do? - Dafne asks as soon as we get into her car. - I hope you sit down and listen. - I sigh. - Let's hope so. - Or she'll jump on your neck and make a scene. - She makes me laugh out loud. The woman says whatever she wants and that suits me and Hayley. Dafne is fun, outgoing, but she can be serious when she wants to, because her profession demands it. I like being around people like them. They're both different, but being around strong women who have been through their shit, their ups and downs and not even that made them lower their heads inspires us. We started singing in the car, forgetting about the subject, and I was soon dropped off at the company. I've worked for Benjamin for so many years that I don't even know. I still remember being an intern here in the middle of college that I paid for with great effort, I met Ben in the hallways and his pick-up lines made me laugh more than anything and in a short time we were already opening up to each other. I don't even know why or how it all happened. He had recently lost his mother, he was trying to act strong, and I think that when he found someone who didn't fall for his flirting and who also knew how to have a nice conversation, he had the confidence to talk. Since then, the man hasn't left me alone. He's my boss and best friend. - Olivia. - Ben exclaims as soon as I sit down. I frown because I hate when he calls me that, he does it on purpose and even laughs. - Coffee. - He asks with a pout and I hand him the cup. - That's why I love you so much. I roll my eyes and he goes into his office. My relationship with Benjamin is one of love and hate. He taught me everything I know today, I was his student, his personal project, and I'm very grateful for that, but putting up with Benjamin Connor is really hard. He's full of qualities and knows how to brighten up your day better than anyone, even when he's at his worst. But he also has his ups and downs, not to mention the women, damn, he's my friend, but the guy is a bastard, a scoundrel, but we'll figure that out quickly. I see how he looks at Hayley and David when they're not noticing, the happiness he shows. Deep down, Benjamin is a needy and even scared boy, I hope he doesn't falter like his brother when he finds the right woman for him. ▪ Meet me at this address at eight. I get the message near the end of the workday. Either everything went right or everything went wrong for her to ask me to meet her at this restaurant, but I think it went right. I hope so. I pick up my beautiful stroller that I bought from Hayley before she left. Okay, she wanted to give it to me but I'm too proud and didn't accept, I paid for it little by little, and what happened? During my vacation she tells me that I paid for my trip to Rome myself. My first trip abroad, since I've been to some places here working on trips with Ben. I almost cried because of her madness. Today I am grateful, after all, I discovered that she is a millionaire, my friends, and even now a very powerful woman in business, not to mention that I am absolutely certain that she also paid for part of the trip since we stayed in a luxurious hotel in Milan during our short stay in the city. Hayley is the kind of friend who pushes you. I remember meeting her as soon as she arrived at the company and with a beautiful son of a few months old who made me drool and love that little thing in seconds. She also brought me Jacey, another one out in the world who has always treated me like family and when he went to Italy I remember him acting like my best friend many times, which brought us closer. I get home already turning on some music to clear my head. I earn a great salary, I would say above average and one of the best paid in the company

I wasn't sure I wanted to get involved with someone so powerful. The energy he exuded the last time he was around was frightening as well as fascinating. But my curiosity got the better of me. "Go ahead then. I'm all ears." Right when I believed he was going to go ahead and spill it out, he took an unexpected action. Something so obnoxious and with so much authority. He says in a shrill voice. "I'd like to meet you tomorrow by two at Kincaid. I have a deal for you." And hangs up immediately after saying that.

For twenty years, I obeyed my adoptive family, enduring my stepsister's mockery and my parents' cold neglect. But at a lavish hotel party, my stepsister forced a glass of spiked champagne into my hands. As my vision blurred and a strange, creeping heat consumed my body, my adoptive mother looked at me with ice-cold eyes. "We raised you for twenty years. It's time you paid us back." They had sold me to a sweaty, middle-aged businessman to save their failing company. I watched the man approach with a triumphant smirk, his oily hand reaching out to claim me. A wave of sheer nausea and profound betrayal hit me. I couldn't believe the people I called family were treating me like livestock to be traded. Using my last ounce of strength, I shoved him away and fled down the maze-like hallway. Terrified, dizzy, and desperate to hide from my pursuers, I stumbled into a random unlocked suite. I crashed into a tall stranger with sharp gray eyes before the world went completely black. When I woke up, I was in a presidential suite, wearing a man's oversized silk shirt. Sitting across from me was Damian Blackwood, the ruthless billionaire CEO and uncrowned king of Wall Street. I thought he would hand me a check to buy my silence or throw me back to my abusers. Instead, he looked at me calmly and offered me a deal. "Marry me, and the Foster family will never dare to touch you again." I looked at the marriage contract, took a deep breath, and chose to survive.

The man continued to touch her all over. He reached for her waist and grabbed it closer to his body. Charlotte got hold of his hand and flung it away. “You disgust me huh?

Unknown to everyone that he was the most powerful and wealthiest man in the country. A twist of event happened when Charlotte was unexpectedly found pregnant some days after her wedding and it turned out she didn’t who the father of her baby was. What holds her future now?

Our penthouse offered glittering city views, a testament to the life I’d built—or rather, the life I’d put my own dreams on hold for. We were the epitome of success. Then the Hamptons retreat happened. Ethan was found with a junior analyst, Chloe Vance. His smooth, too-smooth explanation about being drugged dissolved months later when Chloe reappeared, pregnant, claiming the baby was his. It was a slap in the face. His mother, Eleanor, insisted I accept the situation for the “Cartwright heir.” My grandmother's cherished sapphire heirloom was casually given to Chloe.

In that moment, something inside me shattered irrevocably, but it also awakened. I smashed Eleanor’s treasured porcelain heirloom, signaling a definitive end to their control.
