Chapter 1 Everything is upsidedown.

She was in her room looking at her family pictures. She smiled and sighed in relief. She murmured to herself 'This is the life I choose, and I will have to take whatever it gives me'

As she was speaking to herself, the maid knocked on the door. "Madam, they are here".

Jeslyn smiles "I will be there". She touches up her makeup and comes downstairs.

Jeslyn Murphy, the First Lady of the Vee family, is arrogant and spoiled, gorgeous, calm, and honest. She is slim and tall, red hair, straight long legs, a perfect body shape with full breasts, she has an oval face, a sharp nose, and with small cherry lip, she is just gorgeous.

"First Lady". One of the ladies called, who is her best friend Camilla from high school.

Jeslyn smiled. "Camilla, why are you here? And where are the rest?" she asks, trying to keep her calm.

Camilla smiled and took out her phone. "um.. well I have something to show you".

She took her phone and asked,"What did you mean". She saw a video and played it. It is an intimate video of herself and a strange man. "Camilla, what is all this who posted it".

"Well, I did not post it, your husband did".

"My husband, no, you said that you were going to keep it as a secret". She yelled at her angrily.

"Dear Jeslyn, are you so naive? What makes you think that I am going to keep it a secret when I plan it all, you act so smart, yet you are dumb". Camilla said calmly, smiling at her.

"But you are trying to help me. You said that Franklin likes girls that are not virgins. That's the reason you arranged for a man to sleep with me. How could you do this to me? I hate you". She jumped on her, trying to tear her apart.

Franklin and the rest of the family rushed in and pulled them apart. Franklin pulled Jeslyn away from Camilla and slapped her across the face. "Jeslyn, how dare you? She is pregnant. You are so hateful, you even killed your child, our child".

"What do you mean by our child that we have never slept together". She is so confused and does not know what is going on again.

Camilla cried, resting her head on Franklin's chest. "Franklin, why did you slap her? We should be begging for her favor. We shouldn't have slept together. This child is a mistake". She walks to jeslyn and kneels. "Please spare my child's life, please don't kill him please". She begged holding her leg.

"What is all this"? She pushed her away, touching her head as some fresh memory came into her head. Why did she forget this memory? She saw clearly how Franklin made love to her. Why had Camilla been lying to her telling her that her husband did not love her and would never touch her until she was no longer a virgin?

Franklin's grandmother helped Camilla up. " Should not apologize to a woman like her. She kills her child and sleeps with another man claiming to love her husband and his family. Jeslyn, you are so disgusting".

"No, don't say that, I love Franklin and everybody. Camilla made me do all of that. She deceived me into doing that". She begged as she cried.

"And now you are putting all the blame on her, be responsible and take up the responsibility for what you did". Franklin's mother said, "Please take her out. I don't want to see a woman like her in my house again".

Jeslyn begged as the maid dragged her away. "Franklin, Camilla is a bad woman, please do not kill my child. I love you. Camilla plans all of this please".

Camilla smiled and waved at her. "Wait, Franklin, I will be back".

She went outside and dragged jeslyn to one side. "Look, I am helping you. Being a First Lady is a burden, and you always complain, so let me help you out for a will OK". She patted her cheek.

"wait Camilla ". She held her hand. "Why did you do all of that".

Camilla sighed. "Let's just say that I hate you, and you are too bossy and rude. I am your friend, not your maid, but you keep treating me like your maid, asking me to do all the dirty work while you've been the First Lady. I know I am so jealous you, that it should be me and not you, so I plan to take everything that you love away from you, especially Franklin. I feed him with lies, and he believes them".

"How could you do all of this to me Camilla?" Tears rolled down her cheek as she cried, holding her chest, which was hurting badly from all the hateful words Camilla had said to her.

Camilla smiled, enjoying Jeslyn's reaction. That's exactly what she wanted, and she is enjoying seeing her like this, because she has also felt like that before also. " Did you think that that's all no, I made you forget about your wedding night with the help of my friend. And it was so easy to do that. When I found out that you were pregnant, I fed you with abortion pees and told Franklin and his family about your abortion. They believed me and wait for you to tell them, but you never did because you know nothing about it, I make you believe that you are on your period. I did not know that you were going to believe that, but I did not know that you were that dumb, and you would believe that".

She pauses for a while and smiles. "But I think that that is not enough. I seduce Franklin and make him sleep with me. We get together and become a lover, but still I want more, so I plan all that and make you sleep with that man. That explanation clear. I did not want you to leave again, since I told you everything I guess I will have to kill you now".

Before jeslyn has time to digest everything that she has told her, she pushes her off the stairs and she falls now. She closes her eyes and says 'Had it been I had another chance, I would rewrite my story and make everybody that hurt me pay for what they did to me'.

SHANA GRAY

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.

Contract With The Devil: Love In Shackles

I watched my husband sign the papers that would end our marriage while he was busy texting the woman he actually loved. He didn't even glance at the header. He just scribbled the sharp, jagged signature that had signed death warrants for half of New York, tossed the file onto the passenger seat, and tapped his screen again. "Done," he said, his voice devoid of emotion. That was Dante Moretti. The Underboss. A man who could smell a lie from a mile away but couldn't see that his wife had just handed him an annulment decree disguised beneath a stack of mundane logistics reports. For three years, I scrubbed his blood out of his shirts. I saved his family's alliance when his ex, Sofia, ran off with a civilian. In return, he treated me like furniture. He left me in the rain to save Sofia from a broken nail. He left me alone on my birthday to drink champagne on a yacht with her. He even handed me a glass of whiskey—her favorite drink—forgetting that I despised the taste. I was merely a placeholder. A ghost in my own home. So, I stopped waiting. I burned our wedding portrait in the fireplace, left my platinum ring in the ashes, and boarded a one-way flight to San Francisco. I thought I was finally free. I thought I had escaped the cage. But I underestimated Dante. When he finally opened that file weeks later and realized he had signed away his wife without looking, the Reaper didn't accept defeat. He burned down the world to find me, obsessed with reclaiming the woman he had already thrown away.
