I adjusted the ring light one final time, watching the soft glow illuminate Morgan's face perfectly.

This livestream wasn't just another collaboration—it was our biggest yet. Fifty thousand dollars each from Lumière Beauté, the luxury skincare brand everyone was clamoring to work with.

"Is my highlight too intense?" Morgan leaned closer to the monitor, scrutinizing her reflection.

"It's perfect," I assured her, feeling that familiar flutter of pre-stream nerves and excitement. "The Lumière PR team is going to flip when they see our engagement numbers."

At my feet, Pixel, my rescue terrier mix, nudged my ankle with his nose. I reached down to scratch behind his ears, drawing comfort from his presence as I always did before big streams.

"I was thinking," Morgan said, her voice casual as she arranged the Lumière products in an aesthetically pleasing display. "We should go live earlier than scheduled."

I glanced at the time. "But we agreed on 8 PM for maximum domestic reach."

"True, but if we start now, we catch the European audience too." She flashed her camera-ready smile. "Plus, it'll feel more spontaneous. Audiences love that authentic, unplanned vibe."

I hesitated. The marketing team had specifically suggested the evening slot, but Morgan had been in this game as long as I had. We'd built our platforms together, sharing followers, sponsorships, creative control—everything. If there was anyone I trusted with my career, it was her.

"Okay," I nodded, adjusting our streaming software. "Let's do it."

As I checked the final technical details, I didn't notice Morgan quickly tapping something into her phone before setting it face-down on the table.

Twenty minutes into the stream, everything was flowing perfectly. Our viewer count had exploded from 3,247 to over 8,000, the chat moving so fast I could barely track the comments.

"The Midnight Renewal Serum is honestly revolutionary," I was saying, demonstrating how the pearlescent liquid absorbed into my skin. "I've been using it for three weeks now, and my morning puffiness is completely gone."

"Absolutely life-changing," Morgan agreed, but something in her tone had shifted. A subtle edge I couldn't quite place. "Speaking of transparency, Lila, I wanted to ask you something."

I blinked, momentarily thrown by the segue but recovered quickly. "Of course, what's up?"

"You mentioned exclusive brand relationships earlier." Her eyes flicked to the camera, then back to me. "How do you maintain those professional boundaries?"

The question seemed oddly formal, but I answered naturally. "It's about communication and integrity, really. Being upfront with brands about existing partnerships and making sure there's no conflict of interest."

Morgan's expression changed—a flicker of something that looked almost like regret before hardening into concern.

"That's what I thought too." She reached for her laptop. "Which is why I was so confused when I saw these."

My stomach dropped as she shared her screen.

There, displayed for our now 10,000 viewers, were what appeared to be screenshots of email conversations between me and Radiance—Lumière's biggest competitor.

Next to them, analytics dashboards showing numbers that looked nothing like my actual metrics.

"What is this?" I whispered, genuine shock making my voice tremble.

The chat exploded:

*OMG is this real??*

*I trusted you Lila wtf*

*Always knew these influencers were fake*

*EXPOSED*

"I didn't want to believe it either," Morgan said, her voice carrying the perfect note of reluctant disappointment. "But I felt our audience deserves the truth. You've been working with Radiance while promoting Lumière exclusively, and these analytics..." She gestured to the inflated numbers. "This isn't what integrity looks like."

My hands shook as I tried to process what was happening. "Those aren't—I never—these are fake!"

But I could see in the rapidly scrolling comments that no one believed me. My obvious shock read as guilt to everyone watching.

"I think we should end this stream and handle this privately," Morgan said smoothly, her hand moving toward the end broadcast button. "For everyone's sake."

The stream cut to black, but the damage was already spreading like wildfire. My phone began vibrating incessantly—notifications flooding in as my follower count began its freefall. First dozens, then hundreds per minute.

As I stared at Morgan in disbelief, one text message cut through the chaos:

*From: James Morrison (Lumière Partnerships)*

*Urgent call needed regarding contract violation. Please contact immediately.*

My entire world was collapsing in real-time, and all I could think was: why would my best friend destroy me?

Vivian Harrison used to be an ordinary nurse at the hospital, but she had the rare Rh-negative blood type. Three years ago, she saved the life of the king of the underworld, Archie Palmer, who had been on the brink of death, with her blood. From that moment on, she had completely fallen for him. However, when Archie awoke, he just coldly handed her a marriage contract. "I never owe anyone a favor." The marriage, in the name of repaying a favor, became a gilded cage that confined Vivian for three years. Archie made Vivian his wife, yet he gave all his tenderness and devotion to a vivacious and innocent woman-Cassie Fuller. He would drive across half the city on a stormy night just to stay with Cassie because she was afraid of the dark. He would spend a fortune at an auction to acquire a piece of priceless jewelry, because Cassie said she liked it. Yet, all he ever offered Vivian was endless indifference and suspicion. When Cassie suffered even the slightest grievance, he would unhesitatingly lay all the blame on Vivian and even torment and punish Vivian in the cruelest ways. "Your blood disgusts me as much as you do, Vivian." Later, when Vivian took a fatal bullet for him and lay bleeding on the ground, he walked coldly past her, holding the frightened Cassie in his arms, without sparing Vivian even a glance. At that moment, Vivian finally understood that this marriage was nothing but a joke from the start. She decided that she would no longer play along with Archie. But when Vivian, her body battered and broken, resolutely left Archie, and Archie, who had always claimed he never loved Vivian, for the first time felt his eyes sting, and frantically searched for her all over the world.

Divorced And Reborn: The Masked Doctor's Return

7.1

I was eight months pregnant, waiting on the sofa for my billionaire husband to come home. But when the heavy oak doors opened, Cayden threw a fake DNA test on the glass table, showing a zero percent probability of paternity. He accused me of carrying another man's bastard. I cried and begged, swearing I was framed by his childhood friend, Carmella. He didn't listen. Instead, he ordered his massive bodyguards to pin me down while a private doctor forced an abortion pill down my throat. "The Merritt family does not raise bastards. Get rid of it." He forced me to sign divorce papers and ordered his men to throw me out into the freezing storm. Before I was dragged away, I desperately told him the truth: I was the anonymous donor who gave him a kidney to save his life three years ago. He just sneered, saying Carmella had the surgical scar to prove she was the donor, and kicked me out to die. Lying in the freezing rain, vomiting up the half-dissolved poison to save my baby, I didn't understand how the man I loved could be so completely blind. How could he let that woman steal my kidney, my marriage, and murder his own flesh and blood? Five years later, I returned to New York not as his pathetic discarded wife, but as a top-tier medical fixer for the global elite. And my genius five-year-old son has already infiltrated his mansion, ready to tear his empire apart from the inside.

He Return of the Discarded Heiress

9.0

For three years, I wasn't a foster child. I was a living, breathing cure. Hidden away in the attic of the Thomas mansion, my sole purpose was to keep their precious daughter alive. Every week, they drained my blood to treat her rare disease, leaving me anemic, scarred, and invisible. I was the "walking blood bag" from the wrong side of the tracks-a stray they'd reluctantly taken in. The day Katharina was finally cured, I overheard the truth. "That walking blood bag has served her purpose," the grandmother hissed. "We are done with her." They threw me out into a freezing rainstorm, tossing a crumpled check at my feet like a tip for a beggar. Payment, they said, for the years I'd "leeched" off their family. Payment for the six thousand milliliters of blood they'd stolen, for the chronic anemia, for the scars. I shredded their charity in front of their faces and walked into the storm. They laughed, screaming that I'd be back, that I'd be begging on the streets by morning. But as I stood alone on that dark road, my world shifted. A sleek, black Rolls-Royce pulled up in silence. The door opened, and my real family stepped out. I wasn't a stray from the slums. I was their lost heiress. And the Thomases are about to learn that the girl they bled dry is now the one holding all the power.
