From Abandoned Stand - in to Triumphant Star Chapter 1
In the presidential suite of a seven-star hotel one morning, Anna Bruce lazily stretched her hand out from under the covers and groped towards the bedside.
The sunlight was streaming onto her at that moment, highlighting her shapely curves in a way that was simply enchanting.
She was like a nymph in the jungle, both alluring and full of vitality. But the spot beside her was already cold.
She sat up abruptly and scanned the room.
There, by the floor-to-ceiling window, stood William Hank.
The morning light outlined his sturdy and tall back as he methodically fastened the buttons of his dress shirt.
"Awake?" William Hank turned around, his voice deep, and his gaze landed on Anna Bruce lying on the bed.
He reached into the inner pocket of his suit, took out a check, and casually tossed it onto the bed.
The amount on it was an astonishing thirty million dollars.
Then he took out a document.
"This is the resource for the S-class project. It's the one you've always wanted to star in, and now it's yours."
Anna Bruce pulled up the quilt that had slipped off her shoulder. When she saw the check and the document, a flicker of surprise flashed in her eyes.
She knew that William Hank had a place for her in his heart.
He had always been providing her with resources and money, which had helped her become quite successful in the entertainment industry. She picked up the check, hesitated for a moment, and then gently placed it back on the bed.
"William Hank, you've already given me so much. I want to earn this resource on my own this time."
Upon hearing this, William Hank crossed his arms over his chest and let out a soft chuckle, his tone tinged with a bit of disdain.
"What's this, my little canary? Now you want to rely on yourself? Hmph! Don't come crawling back to me when you end up getting your ass kicked."
Anna Bruce bit her lower lip, a sense of defiance still lingering in her heart.
She said stubbornly, "I want to give it a try. And this time, I believe I can win the lead role with my own strength."
A complex emotion flashed across William Hank's eyes, vanishing in an instant.
He was silent for a moment, and his voice gradually turned cold.
"Take it. You might not get another chance like this."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Anna Bruce's heart tightened, and she stared at him in confusion.
"The person I love is back," William Hank said nonchalantly, but his eyes avoided Anna Bruce's.
"As of now, our relationship as bed partners is over."
Anna Bruce's head buzzed, and her eyes widened in shock.
Her hands unconsciously clenched the quilt.
Her lips trembled, and it took her a while to choke out a sentence. "William Hank, aren't we... lovers? In the past five years, haven't you had the slightest bit of real feelings for me?"
Her eyes fixed on him, full of expectation.
Unfortunately, reality dealt her a harsh blow.
William Hank methodically adjusted his cufflinks.
He sneered, "Lovers? What, do you still have the delusion of becoming the young mistress of the Hank family?!"
Suddenly, he turned and stepped closer, his eyes like icy blades sweeping across her face.
He raised his hand and roughly grabbed her chin.
"Look at yourself! Do you really think you're good enough?"
Anna Bruce's eyes instantly welled up with tears, and her nails dug deep into her palms.
"William Hank, you said you loved me. You were the one who came onto me in the first place..."
William Hank's gaze slowly examined her face, as if recalling something.
Suddenly, he turned away.
His voice was icy cold as he said, "I said, it's over."
With that, he headed towards the door.
When he reached the door, he paused but didn't turn around.
"From now on, take care of yourself..."
Anna Bruce slumped down on the edge of the bed, tears silently streaming down her face.
A chill spread throughout her body.
She looked out the window at the falling leaves.
"Am I really that stupid to fall in love with someone who was never going to give me a future? He's the Mr. Hank who can manipulate everything in the entertainment industry. And what am I? If I hadn't met him five years ago, I might have been dead by now..."

BLURB.
Selena had it all, a devoted mate, Kael, and a life planned as the future Luna of their pack. Until betrayal struck. Her mate slept with her sister, and the entire pack already knew. Humiliation, heartbreak, and fury consumed her, leaving her adrift in a world that had always demanded strength.
Then Darius appeared. The enigmatic Alpha whose gaze pierced her defenses and whose presence demanded more than she was ready to give. He didn't pity her. He didn't console her. He challenged her, pushed her, tested her, stripped her bare of pretenses and in doing so, awakened a dangerous attraction she never anticipated.
Under his guidance, Selena must confront her past, reclaim her power, and navigate the deadly tensions of pack politics. Training becomes a battlefield of desire and restraint, where every glance, every touch, every word between them carries unspoken weight. The slow-burn connection intensifies with every moment, fiery, messy, human, impossible to ignore.
But the road to healing and love is never easy. Kael returns, stirring the ashes of old attachments, while external pack threats loom. Selena is forced to choose between the remnants of a shattered past and the consuming, dangerous pull of Darius, the Alpha who sees every crack in her soul and refuses to look away.

She loved him until she lost herself.
Now, behind locked doors and shattered glass, she must learn to breathe again.
When she first met Lloyd, he was magnetic and intoxicating. The kind of man who turned every head when he entered a room, who spoke in promises sweet enough to taste. With him, she felt chosen, cherished, and safe.
But safety was an illusion, and love became a weapon.
And slowly, piece by piece, he dismantled her until nothing of the woman she once was remained.
Now institutionalized after a breakdown, she begins to piece together the brutal truth of what really happened in the shadows of their love story. Memories sting like open wounds: the manipulation disguised as tenderness, the apologies that blurred into threats, the desperate hope that tomorrow he'd be the man she fell for again.
Yet beneath the grief and the shame, a quiet rebellion stirs, a vow to reclaim her voice, her freedom, and her life. Because this is not just a story of how she fell apart. It is a story of how she rises.
Haunting, raw, and achingly intimate, Boys like him peels back the glittering mask of a toxic love affair to reveal the kind of darkness that hides in plain sight, and the unbreakable strength it takes to escape it.

My husband, Caden, was a real estate mogul who built his empire on our love story. The world swooned when he named his latest skyscraper the "Allisson Tower," calling it a modern-day Taj Mahal. But it was my design, and his grand gestures were just a cover for a grander theft.
I discovered he wasn't just cheating with his pregnant mistress. He had stolen my architectural blueprints-the very foundation of his celebrated career.
He' d bring me to the same restaurant where he' d just entertained her, recycling his romantic gestures. I watched him smile genuinely at her livestream while holding my hand, sending her virtual gifts with the message, "My princess deserves all this and more. You' re the only one for me."
The man who swore "absolute honesty" on our wedding day had built our entire life on a mountain of lies. He didn't just break his vows; he pulverized them, turning our love into a public spectacle.
So I planned my escape. I signed the divorce papers, packaged them with irrefutable proof of his plagiarism inside a model of the first building he stole, and handed it to him as an "anniversary gift."
"You can't open it for two weeks," I told him.
He had no idea that in two weeks, his wife would be a ghost and his empire would be ashes.
