Saya's POV
I smiled as I stared at my sister.
How a real child feels because I just adopted this house.
My parents had never had a child, so they adopted me from the house, at first it was fun but after six years my sister and their real children had been together. Then I didn't need them anymore.
I saw mom approach her and hug her next to dad, my tears flowed as I watched the happy family, I remembered that when I was not there Jenna was not there yet
I want my parent to see me as there daughter too. I also had their children but they should never bring me back to the footsteps.
My parents are a famous scientist because they are good. So I want to be a scientist when I college because I want to be as good as they are.
Last night Dad talked to me that he would move me to school so I could understand because Jenna couldn't be with us at the same school.
I wiped away my tears and then left the house when I was leaving the school I was going to, my parents didn't take me without saying goodbye because they were busy with Jenna. So our driver was the only one who brought it.
We left the air and then put on my glass, I looked out the window and stopped myself from crying because I would come back after I graduated.
We entered a forest I never asked where we were going.
We had two hours in the jungle and when we got to our destination my forehead turned around and looked at the big gate that looked old because it was two and climbed.
When I got out of the car I stared at the gate with an unknown university written. I blinked what would this mean that this unknown? And I didn't know that this was a university because maybe he was hidden so he wasn't exposed to the public.
After the driver lowered my belongings he immediately left.
I saw a man at the gate with my forehead twitching because he was a little older and maybe he was the bodyguard here. But why isn't he wearing a uniform?
I shook my head and then wondered why it looked like that, with my belongings I approached her and asked.
"Excuse me please" It looked so surprised that my left eye was blind, I blinked.
"It's here" we looked at a woman, she opened the gate and then went out. She approached with a smile.
"I'm Tara I'm the principal of this school. Are you Saya Javier the new student?" He said he looked at me from head to toe with his forehead but he still smiled. If only he wasn't good at thinking about his creepy because of his reaction.
"Yes po ma'am"
"Good. Go inside and find your dorm here" he gave me an envelope I accepted.
"Welcome to the university at first we see the things you see inside but when you get used to it because of this" he said smiling.
"Thank you"
"Well, if there was no question I was leaving because I had a good luck" he said and two men came with a car and he got there, I went to the gate and when I came in I was surprised when it closed.
My school dam is different from this school because it looks old and it's a bit scary. Did they take me to school or to the mental hospital.
I opened the envelope and took the paper in it.
Javier Class-A 4rth Year High School
Dorm number 102.
I started walking for three minutes before getting to school, I blinked because the building was old and could not be painted properly without the weeds here.
I looked at the students with the beauty of their black top and skirt uniform to the bottom of the knee and had a red ribbon in their top uniform. And long socks.
My forehead twitched because I noticed the strange looks of the students because you thought they would eat me. Because maybe I was new or wrong with my cup of cups and I wasn't in uniform. I'm just coming.
I'm not afraid of their sharp eyes don't know why because maybe it's not deadly.
I let them go and kept walking to my dorm, when I arrived there I knocked first because I was with no one who answered so he opened it and went in, when I came in it was just a man and I saw the key I'm in bed if I'm the only one here
The key included my uniform and it seemed to be right in my size and I lowered my side to the side. I took what I wrote and read.
'When I see it you get dressed right away and come in'
I immediately got dressed when I saw a bag there that looked like I was using it, so I was using it so I couldn't remember.
He ran to the chool when I got to the 3rd floor because my room was there. I was so tired of running.
When I got upstairs, the students hurried to get in and left and then when I lost my strength I searched for my room.
I was so close to the rilies because I felt weak because maybe I was running so I sat down next to rest.
"What are you doing here?" Asked a man's voice I looked back and a man saw me in a poker face and his sharp gaze was scary he would kill me.
"I'm sorry I was looking for my room I was tired when I was running out of my dorm before I was here I didn't think I was going to stop right away." I got up and fixed my uniform, I was surprised by the next time You might like
The Price of Unrequited Love
Gavin Eighteen days after giving up on Brendan Maynard, Jayde Rosario cut off her waist-length hair and called her father, announcing her decision to move to California and attend UC Berkeley.
Her father, surprised, asked about the sudden change, reminding her how she' d always insisted on staying with Brendan. Jayde forced a laugh, revealing the painful truth: Brendan was getting married, and she, his stepsister, could no longer cling to him.
That night, she tried to tell Brendan about her college acceptance, but his fiancée, Chloie Ellis, interrupted with a bubbly call, and Brendan' s tender words to Chloie twisted a knife in Jayde' s heart. She remembered how his tenderness used to be hers alone, how he had protected her, and how she had poured out her heart to him in a diary and a love letter, only for him to explode, tearing the letter and yelling, "I'm your brother!"
He had stormed out, leaving her to painstakingly tape the shredded pieces back together. Her love, however, didn't die, not even when he brought Chloie home and told her to call her "sister-in-law."
Now, she understood. She had to put that fire out herself. She had to dig Brendan out of her heart. His Promise, Her Prison
Gavin The day I was released from prison, my fiancé, Don Ford, was waiting for me, promising our life would finally begin.
Seven years ago, he and my parents begged me to take the fall for a crime my adopted sister, Kelsey, committed. She got behind the wheel drunk, hit someone, and fled the scene.
They said Kelsey was too fragile for prison. They called my seven-year sentence a small sacrifice.
But as soon as we arrived at the family mansion, Don’s phone rang. Kelsey was having another one of her “episodes,” and he left me standing alone in the grand foyer to rush to her side.
The butler then informed me I was to stay in the dusty storage room on the third floor. My parents’ orders. They didn't want me upsetting Kelsey when she returned.
It was always Kelsey. She was the reason they took my college scholarship fund, and she was the reason I lost seven years of my life. I was their biological daughter, but I was just a tool to be used and discarded.
That night, alone in that cramped room, a cheap phone a prison guard gave me buzzed with an email. It was a job offer for a classified position I had applied for eight years ago. It came with a new identity and an immediate relocation package. A way out.
I typed my reply with shaking fingers.
"I accept." When Love Turns to Ash
Gavin My world revolved around Jax Harding, my older brother's captivating rockstar friend.
From sixteen, I adored him; at eighteen, I clung to his casual promise: "When you're 22, maybe I'll settle down."
That offhand comment became my life's beacon, guiding every choice, meticulously planning my twenty-second birthday as our destiny.
But on that pivotal day in a Lower East Side bar, clutching my gift, my dream exploded.
I overheard Jax' s cold voice: "Can't believe Savvy's showing up. She' s still hung up on that stupid thing I said."
Then the crushing plot: "We' re gonna tell Savvy I' m engaged to Chloe, maybe even hint she' s pregnant. That should scare her off."
My gift, my future, slipped from my numb fingers.
I fled into the cold New York rain, devastated by betrayal.
Later, Jax introduced Chloe as his "fiancée" while his bandmates mocked my "adorable crush"-he did nothing.
As an art installation fell, he saved Chloe, abandoning me to severe injury.
In the hospital, he came for "damage control," then shockingly shoved me into a fountain, leaving me to bleed, calling me a "jealous psycho."
How could the man I loved, who once saved me, become this cruel and publicly humiliate me?
Why was my devotion seen as an annoyance to be brutally extinguished with lies and assault?
Was I just a problem, my loyalty met with hatred?
I would not be his victim.
Injured and betrayed, I made an unshakeable vow: I was done.
I blocked his number and everyone connected to him, severing ties.
This was not an escape; this was my rebirth.
Florence awaited, a new life on my terms, unburdened by broken promises. His Deception, Her Redemption
Gavin The silence in our house was heavy, broken only by the sound of my husband' s brother being lowered into the ground. A month later, the silence was replaced by something worse. My brother-in-law' s widow, Falon, was pregnant, and my husband, Cyrus, decided she was moving in with us.
"It' s for the baby, Kelsey," he said, his voice flat. He didn't look at me. He was looking at Falon, who stood by the door with her single suitcase, looking pale and fragile. "She needs support. It' s my brother' s child."
I watched as Falon slowly, subtly, began to take over my life. She' d wait outside the bathroom with a fresh towel for Cyrus, claiming it was habit. She' d knock on our bedroom door late at night, feigning nightmares, pulling Cyrus away for hours of "comfort." The breaking point came when I heard Cyrus massaging her swollen feet, just as her late husband used to.
I dropped the knife I was holding. It clattered against the counter. I wanted to hear Cyrus say no. I wanted him to tell her that was inappropriate, that I was his wife. Instead, I heard his low, soothing voice. "Of course, Falon. Just put them up here."
I had given up everything for him, becoming a "pick-me" girl, constantly seeking his approval. Now, watching him cater to her every whim, I realized I didn't even recognize the woman staring back at me in the mirror.
That night, I called my father. "Dad," I said, my voice shaking. "I want a divorce." Discarded Love, Found Happiness
Gavin I stood just outside the glass patio doors, holding a tray of fresh towels. Tonight was a celebration of Coleton Barron' s full recovery, the tech world' s golden boy back on his feet after three years of my dedicated physical therapy.
But then, his ex-girlfriend, Charly Mack, appeared. When a stray splash from the pool hit her dress, Coleton shoved me aside to protect her, sending me headfirst into the concrete edge of the pool.
I woke up in the hospital with a concussion, only to see Coleton comforting Charly, who was faking tears. He didn' t defend me when she claimed we were "just friends." His mother, Esther Cotton, then sent me a text with a five-million-dollar check, telling me I didn' t fit into his world.
Back at his penthouse, Charly accused me of poisoning Coleton with soup and breaking his father' s cherished wooden box. He believed her, forcing me to drink the soup and leaving me to collapse on the kitchen floor. I ended up in the hospital again, alone.
I didn' t understand why he would believe her lies, why he would hurt me after everything I had done. Why was I just a temporary fix, easily discarded?
On his birthday, I left him a text: "Happy Birthday, Coleton. I' m leaving. Don' t look for me. Goodbye." I turned off my phone, dropped it in a trash can, and walked toward a new life. His Celebrity Mistress's Downfall
Gavin I gave up my twenty-billion-dollar inheritance and cut ties with my family, all for my boyfriend of five years, Ignatz.
But just as I was about to tell him I was pregnant with our child, he dropped a bombshell.
He needed me to take the fall for his childhood sweetheart, Everleigh. She'd been in a hit-and-run, and her career couldn't handle the scandal.
When I refused and told him about our baby, his face went cold. He told me to terminate the pregnancy immediately.
"Everleigh is the woman I love," he said. "Finding out you're pregnant with my child would destroy her."
He had his assistant schedule the appointment and sent me to the clinic alone. There, the nurse told me the procedure carried a high risk of permanent infertility.
He knew. And he still sent me.
I walked out of that clinic, choosing to keep my child. At that exact moment, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a glowing article announcing that Ignatz and Everleigh were expecting their first child, complete with a photo of his hand resting protectively on her stomach.
My world shattered. Wiping away a tear, I found the number I hadn't called in five years.
"Dad," I whispered, my voice breaking. "I'm ready to come home." The Unseen Wife, The Unloved Fiancée
Gavin I thought my boyfriend of three years, Jaxon Tate, was my soulmate. Our life was perfect. Tonight, while borrowing his phone to order dinner, I accidentally opened his notes app.
That's when I found "Denzel's List." Denzel was his older brother, who died two years ago. The list contained 400 tasks.
"Take Elfrieda Stewart to the movies for my brother."
"Propose to Elfrieda Stewart for my brother."
"Love Elfrieda for the rest of her life for my brother."
Before I could even breathe, he took a call on the balcony from a woman named Janice. His secret wife.
"Of course, I love you," I heard him tell her. "Marrying Elfrieda is just… a business transaction. It's to honor Denzel's dying wish."
My world shattered. Our entire three-year relationship was a lie. Every "I love you," every touch was just an item on a checklist. I wasn't his soulmate; I was a task to be completed for a dead man. I was the other woman, and I didn't even know it.
He came back inside, smiling his perfect, fake smile. "Sorry about that, a crisis at the office." He then suggested a trip to see the northern lights, another item I was sure was on his list.
As he leaned in to kiss me, I picked up my own phone and sent a text to my brother.
"Can you come get me? I need to come home." His Regret, Her Unstoppable Rise
Gavin My seven-year marriage to the heir Kobe Kidd began as a contract. I was the respectable placeholder wife he needed. In exchange, I got the stability I'd craved my whole life. I kept my side of the bargain perfectly, except for one mistake: I fell in love with him.
Then, his first love, Felicie, came back into the picture. Suddenly, I wasn't a wife; I was an obstacle. After our car crashed, he scrambled to save an unconscious Felicie from the wreckage, leaving me trapped inside the smoking vehicle without a second glance.
I survived the explosion, only to face something worse. When Felicie was stabbed by her own violent ex after using me as a human shield, she told Kobe I’d hired the man to kill her.
He believed her instantly.
He didn't check the cameras. He didn't ask me a single question. He just looked at me with pure, undiluted hatred and had me thrown into the mansion's cold, dark basement.
I was locked away for days, screaming for a man who had already left me to burn. I finally understood. It didn’t matter what the truth was. I wasn't her, and that was the only crime that mattered.
So I finalized our divorce, walked away without looking back, and started a new life. But months later, he found me. He showed up in my small café an ocean away, his eyes full of regret, begging for a second chance.
He said he finally knew the truth.
He said he loved me. A Mother's Heart, A Cruel Lie
Gavin I went to the bank to set up a surprise trust fund for my twins' sixth birthday. For six years, I’d been the loving wife of tech mogul Gavyn Dunlap, and I believed my life was a perfect dream.
But my application was rejected. The manager informed me that according to the official birth certificates, I wasn't their legal mother.
Their mother was Iliana Dudley—my husband’s first love.
I raced to his office, only to overhear the devastating truth from behind his door. My entire marriage was a sham. I was chosen because I resembled Iliana, hired as a surrogate to carry her biological children.
For six years, I had been nothing more than a free nanny and a "comfortable placeholder" until she decided to return.
That night, my children saw my heartbroken state and their faces twisted in disgust.
"You look awful," my daughter sneered, before giving me a shove.
I tumbled down the stairs, my head cracking against the post. As I lay there bleeding, they simply laughed.
My husband walked in with Iliana, glanced at me on the floor, and then promised to take the kids for ice cream with their "real mom."
"I wish Iliana was our real mom," my daughter said loudly as they left.
Lying alone in a pool of my own blood, I finally understood. The six years of love I had poured into this family meant nothing to them.
Fine. Their wish was granted. My Rival, My Only Hope
Gavin On my birthday, my mother told me it was time to choose a fiancé from New York's most eligible bachelors. She urged me to pick Alexander Booth, the man I loved with a foolish passion in my previous life.
But I remembered how that love story ended. On the eve of our wedding, Alexander faked his death in a private jet crash.
I spent years as his grieving fiancée, only to find him alive and well on a beach, laughing with the poor student I had personally sponsored. They even had a child.
When I confronted him, our friends—the men who had pretended to comfort me—held me down.
They helped Alexander throw me into the ocean and watched from the pier as I drowned.
As the water closed over my head, only one person showed any real emotion. My childhood rival, Darrian Golden, screamed my name as they held him back, his face twisted in grief. He was the only one who cried at my funeral.
Opening my eyes again, I was back in our penthouse, just a week before the big decision. This time, when my mother asked me to choose Alexander, I gave her a different name. I chose the man who mourned me. I chose Darrian Golden.
