After betrayal Millionaire Returns

The Rise Of The Ugly Luna

Syra Tucker

Lyric had spent her life being hated. Bullied for her scarred face and hated by everyone-including her own mate-she was always told she was ugly. Her mate only kept her around to gain territory, and the moment he got what he wanted, he rejected her, leaving her broken and alone. Then, she met him. The first man to call her beautiful. The first man to show her what it felt like to be loved. It was only one night, but it changed everything. For Lyric, he was a saint, a savior. For him, she was the only woman that had ever made him cum in bed-a problem he had been battling for years. Lyric thought her life would finally be different, but like everyone else in her life, he lied. And when she found out who he really was, she realized he wasn't just dangerous-he was the kind of man you don't escape from. Lyric wanted to run. She wanted freedom. But she desired to navigate her way and take back her respect, to rise above the ashes. Eventually, she was forced into a dark world she didn't wish to get involved with.

Max Holden worked part-time at an adult toy store to cover his expenses and college tuition. It was the third job keeping him from starvation. Despite despising it, he had no choice but to endure.

"Hey, you piece of trash. Fetch me something exciting for my new girl."

Max instantly recognized the voice-it belonged to Michael, the college's wealthy golden boy. He had a habit of calling Max over, only to humiliate him in front of the girls he flaunted, presenting himself as the charming and affluent prince.

Sometimes, Max considered quitting this degrading job. But he couldn't afford to-no one wanted to hire a poor boy like him.

Later that evening, standing outside a hotel suite, Max was overwhelmed with unease. He carried a bag containing Michael's requested items. His palms were sweaty, and his heart pounded like a drum. "Once again, he won't let me leave without humiliation. God knows what becomes of the girls who fall for him."

Yet, amid the dread, Max found solace in thinking about Lisa, his girlfriend. She was different-steadfast and loving. "In just a few days, I'll propose to Lisa. After all the love and understanding she's shown me, she's the one I want to spend my life with."

A small smile tugged at Max's lips. But as he stepped into the penthouse, intending to place the package on the table, a sound-a familiar, intimate moan-froze him in place.

In the dimly lit room, Max saw Lisa entangled in another man's arms. His breath hitched, and his vision blurred with disbelief. Lisa, dressed in nothing but a flimsy piece of fabric, was wrapped around Michael, her body moving in ways Max could never have imagined.

The sight sent waves of shock crashing through Max, leaving him speechless and paralyzed. His voice trembled as he stuttered, "Lisa... what-what's going on here?"

Lisa Monroe, her once affectionate eyes now cold and devoid of emotion, turned to face Max. Her voice dripped with icy disdain as she spoke, her words piercing like shards of glass. "Oh, Max Holden, can't you see? I've found someone who can give me the life I deserve-unlike you."

Max's voice quavered as he tried to grasp the betrayal unraveling before him. "But... but we had something special. Why would you do this?"
