*This story is a work of fiction. Inspired by the novel, "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Because of the similarities that have been pointed out by my first few readers, this story will fall under the fanfiction area.* SYNOPSIS: Everyone knows Maeve Sun Lively, the worldwide admired film star. Her perfect success, her beauty, or her well-known love life. Her whole life has been primarily set onto the screen and media, where everyone can set their own opinions on. But recently, at the age of 82, she passed away. And it leaves you wondering, did we really know Maeve Sun Lively? Failed thirty-eight-year-old author, Izzy Adams, works as a part-time paparazzi in Los Angeles, where her everyday life is a worry of not being able to pay rent. And a question she has always had at an early age: why did her biological parents give her up? Despite the fact that she loves her adoptive parents, how can she not wonder who her real parents are? So when her adoptive parents, and Rosalie Sun Lively, who is Maeve Sun Lively's adoptive daughter, tells Izzy that her biological mother is Lively herself, Izzy's small world of only worrying to pay rent alters into a totally different direction. Maeve left Izzy a great opportunity to write her autobiography, which will completely save her writing career. But also to answer that biggest question in her life that can be put into one word: why? The story of Maeve Lively unfolds in front of Izzy, all the way from the start of her career in 2018, toward when she retires in 2073. Except the life-story Izzy had been expecting, the one everyone has seen on-screen for years, is a completely different one Maeve Lively actually tells. The things she sacrificed for fame and a large success one can barely see in a lifetime. But as Lively's story nears its end, Izzy finds that her life is tangled with Maeve's life with more than what Rosalie is letting on in tragic and unforgivable ways.

Wuthering Heights is a wild, passionate story of the intense and almost demonic love between Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff, a foundling adopted by Catherine's father. After Mr Earnshaw's death, Heathcliff is bullied and humiliated by Catherine's brother Hindley and wrongly believing that his love for Catherine is not reciprocated, leaves Wuthering Heights, only to return years later as a wealthy and polished man. He proceeds to exact a terrible revenge for his former miseries. The action of the story is chaotic and unremittingly violent, but the accomplished handling of a complex structure, the evocative descriptions of the lonely moorland setting and the poetic grandeur of vision combine to make this unique novel a masterpiece of English literature.
