My Childhood Friend Stole My New House Summary

On New Year's Day, Ryan discovers his childhood friend has occupied his new home with a dozen strangers. Instead of a housewarming gift, he is met with a calculated smear campaign. She falsely claims Ryan begged for the passcode after being kicked out by his family, even inventing humiliating stories to mock him in front of her boyfriend. Faced with blatant theft and character assassination, Ryan must take decisive action to eject the intruders and expose the truth behind her lies.

My Childhood Friend Stole My New House Chapter 1

On New Year's Day, my childhood friend asked me for the passcode to my new house.

I thought she was planning to bring a housewarming gift, but when I opened the door, I froze in shock. There were more than a dozen people inside.

She walked over with a smile before giving me a subtle look.

"Ryan, what are you doing here? Come on in. You're just in time. You're lucky enough to catch our family gathering."

I stood there in stunned silence. Before I could even ask what was going on, her boyfriend suddenly spoke in a mocking tone.

"Is your childhood friend very persuasive? I'm curious how he sweet-talked you into giving him your house's passcode."

Her expression instantly turned serious.

"He didn't sweet-talk me. He got on his knees and begged. He said he had a fight with his family and got kicked out with nowhere to stay. You know how soft-hearted I am. I didn't think much of it and just gave it to him."

Her boyfriend's eyes had a look of contempt.

"No normal man would stoop that low. Who knows how many women he's begged behind the scenes just to get what he wants."

She gave him a look of approval.

"Babe, how are you so smart? There was a time he stripped naked and begged me just to buy a watch he liked. I've told you about it."

Her boyfriend burst out laughing. "So that was him? He's honestly shameless."

Seeing her spew lies so casually and irresponsibly, I couldn't contain my anger. I stepped forward and slapped her hard across the face.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Taking over my house and slandering me? Get out."

The moment I opened the door, the dozen or so people standing in the living room froze. They were just as shocked as I was.

"Are you a burglar?"

A woman in her fifties was the first to shriek from the crowd.

"How dare you break into my house in broad daylight? This is outrageous! Grab him and beat him up!"

She actually twisted the truth and accused me instead. She was truly shameless.

Furious, I grabbed a coat rack from the entryway and swung it in front of me.

"This is my house. You've trespassed and now you want to attack me? That's a crime. I'm calling the police. Let them deal with you."

The first person who ran forward immediately backed off. He cursed under his breath.

"You punk, how dare you fight back? Get the mop. I doubt we can't handle him!"

As soon as he finished his sentence, Willa Scott ran out of the kitchen to stop him.

"Don't call the police. Don't fight. It's all a misunderstanding."

Willa smiled as she tried to calm him down. She then walked over to me and gave me a look.

"Ryan, what are you doing here? Come on in. You're just in time. You're lucky enough to catch our family gathering."

I frowned in confusion. Before I could even ask what was going on, her boyfriend, Sebastian Judd, leaned against the doorframe and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Willa, is your childhood friend really that persuasive?"

Willa paused, turned around, and winked at him.

"Babe, it goes without saying that you're a lot more persuasive than him."

Sebastian chuckled smugly.

"It's true that no one can beat me in that department."

Their open flirting drew laughter from everyone else.

On the other hand, I was sick to my stomach. It felt as if the person I trusted the most had thrown me under the bus.

The thought made me raise my voice.

"Willa, you brought outsiders into my house without my permission–"

Before I could finish, Sebastian cut me off harshly.

"Willa, I'm still curious. How did he sweet-talk you into giving him your house's passcode? If we weren't here today, what would he have done to you?"

The smile vanished from Willa's face instantly. It was replaced by a serious expression.

"It doesn't matter what he wanted to do. I wouldn't have given him the chance. The only person I care about is you.

My heart jolted as if struck by lightning.

We had grown up together, yet this was the first time I saw her fabricate lies so easily. She ruined my reputation in an instant. I stood there dumbfounded for a long time.

Sebastian looked at me with pure contempt.

"No normal man would stoop that low. Who knows how many women he's begged behind the scenes just to get what he wants."

She gave him a look of approval.

"Babe, how are you so smart? There was a time he stripped naked and begged me just to buy a watch he liked. I've told you about it."

Sebastian burst out laughing. "So that was him? He's honestly shameless."

At that moment, Meredith Judd, Sebastian's mom, started laughing loudly with the others.

"He doesn't have much of a body, does he?"

Willa smirked and shook her head.

"I never paid attention. He's obese and ugly as hell."

After saying that, she looked at her boyfriend as if seeking praise.

Sebastian smiled approvingly.

"That's my girl. You know your boundaries."

"A man with a body like that? Looking at him would give you pinkeye."

Their back-and-forth mockery turned me into nothing more than entertainment. It was utterly disgusting.

I forced down the rage surging inside me.

"Willa, for Mrs. Scott's sake, I'll give you one last chance. Leave with them right now. I'll pretend this never happened. If you don't, I'll send you all to prison."

The Underboss's Obsession: Stealing The Bride

8.2

Three days before the wedding. I was hiding in the dressing room, watching my fiancé caress the swollen belly of another woman. Luca, the man who had saved my life five years ago, was smiling at his mistress, Sofia. But the real knife to the heart wasn't the affair—it was the dress. The custom wedding gown he had "lovingly" ordered for me featured intricate silver embroidery along the hem. It didn't spell Elena. It read Sofia. He was planning to make me walk down the aisle wearing his mistress's name. Later that night, I found a video of him mocking me to his crew, calling me a "dead fish" and admitting he only wanted my family's Capo status. He planned to keep his "true love" on the side while I played the role of the oblivious, ornamental wife. He thought I was just a sheltered princess. He forgot that my bloodline was built on vengeance. I didn't cry. I didn't confront him. Instead, I scrubbed his scent off my skin and dialed a number everyone in Chicago feared. "The pact with the Cavallaro family," I asked my father, my voice cold as stone. "Is it still valid?" "Dante is the Underboss now," my father warned. "He is a butcher. He breaks men for sport." "Good," I replied. "I am done playing with boys." I secretly booked the Gold Ballroom across the hall from my original venue. Luca thought he was walking into a marriage on Saturday. He didn't know I was bringing a monster to the altar instead.
