Chapter 1 A NEW CEO

The news was everywhere. Reginald Winchester, the 30-year-old billionaire, had officially taken the reins of Winchester Nexus Network (WNN), one of the world's leading marketing and advertising agencies. The company's founder, his father, Edward Winchester, had stepped down as CEO, passing the torch to his son.

Reginald's face was plastered on every newspaper, magazine, and online news outlet. His chiseled features, piercing blue eyes, and charming smile made him a household name. The media couldn't get enough of him, touting him as the most eligible bachelor in the business world.

Ava Wells sat in her small apartment, flipping through the channels on her TV. She couldn't escape the coverage of Reginald's ascension to the top spot at WNN. She watched as he confidently addressed the press, his charisma and intelligence radiating from the screen.

Ava's eyes sparkled with admiration as she listened to Reginald's vision for the company's future. She had always been fascinated by the world of marketing and advertising, and WNN was the gold standard. She dreamed of working alongside the best in the industry, creating campaigns that would change the world.

As she turned off the TV, Ava couldn't help but feel a pang of envy. What would it be like to work for a company like WNN, under the leadership of someone as dynamic as Reginald Winchester? She pushed the thought aside, focusing on her own humble reality.

Ava sat on the worn couch in her grandmother's small living room, surrounded by the familiar comforts of her childhood home. Her best friend Grace lounged beside her, flipping through a magazine. Ava's eyes were fixed on the TV, where Reginald Winchester's chiseled face filled the screen.

"Girl, you need to get out more," Grace teased, noticing Ava's fascination with the billionaire. "You're drooling over a guy who's way out of your league."

Ava blushed, tossing a throw pillow at her friend. "I'm just admiring his... business acumen."

Grace raised an eyebrow. "Uh-huh. Well, meanwhile, back in reality... we have bills to pay and a granny to support."

Ava's gaze fell, her mind drifting to the stack of unpaid bills on her grandmother's kitchen counter. She knew Grace was right – her priorities lay with helping her family, not daydreaming about a billionaire.

Ava's eyes sparkled with determination as she declared, "I'm going to apply for a job at Winchester Nexus Network."

Grace, her best friend, burst out laughing, almost spitting out her coffee. "Oh, Ava, you're adorable! You think you stand a chance at a company like that?" She shook her head, her curly brown hair bouncing with the motion. "WNN is the big leagues, Ava. They don't hire people like us. You'll find a good job but I don't think you will make it into WNN."

Ava's face fell, but she refused to back down. She had been working odd jobs to make ends meet, but it wasn't enough. She needed a real career, something that would give her financial stability and a sense of purpose. And WNN was the perfect place to do that.

As she sat on the worn couch in her grandmother's small living room, Ava tried to push away the thoughts of all the bills she had to pay. The stack of unpaid invoices on her grandmother's kitchen counter seemed to be growing by the day. Her grandmother's medical bills, the rent, the utility bills... it was all too much for Ava to handle on her own. But she was determined to try.

"I know it's a long shot," Ava said, her voice steady, "but I have skills, I'm a hard worker, and I'm willing to learn. And who knows, maybe they'll see something in me that no one else does."

Grace raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical. "You really think you have what it takes to compete with the best of the best?"

Ava nodded, her jaw set in determination. "I do. And even if I don't get the job, at least I'll know I tried."

Just then, a faint voice called from the next room. "Ava, dear! Ava, come quick!"

Ava's eyes widened as she exchanged a worried glance with Grace. "Granny sounds upset..."

She jumped up from the couch, her heart racing with concern. "I'll be right back, Grace."

As she rushed to her grandmother's bedroom, Ava's mind was already racing with worst-case scenarios. What if her grandmother had fallen? What if she was sick again?

The door creaked open, and Ava's eyes adjusted to the dim light in the room. Her grandmother lay in bed, her face pale and worried.

"Ava, dear, I'm so sorry to bother you, but... I think I've made a mistake with the bills."

Ava's heart sank, her mind racing with the implications. She knew her grandmother was struggling to keep track of the finances, but she had no idea it was this bad.

"What do you mean, Granny?" Ava asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

Her grandmother's eyes filled with tears. "I think I've missed a payment or two. And now... now I'm not sure how we're going to make ends meet."

Ava's heart went out to her grandmother, her determination to get the job at WNN burning brighter than ever. She knew she had to do this, not just for her but for her grandma, too.

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.
