Everyone says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But what if you live there? Eliza thought she had the kind of life everyone wants - a busy career, a husband she'd loved since college, and a tight circle who felt more like family than friends. They celebrated birthdays together, showed up for each other's milestones, and knew one another's secrets. Or at least she thought they did. This is a story of deeply twisted connections between five friends. The tangles reveal themselves bit by bit as Eliza, Ben, Miles, Vanessa and Colin learn the truth about each other, and themselves. In the end, does anything hold or does it all unravel?

𝐈𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭. Emerald Sawyer has always been my home. She saw something in me when everyone else saw a hockey goon who could barely read. When the world called me stupid, she called me capable. Her faith built me in ways my father's cruelty never could. Now I'm Hayden "Haymaker" Sawyer-the league's most feared enforcer. My violence goes viral. My fists pay the bills. Every hit, every fight, every autograph, every deal-I told myself I was doing it all for her. Somewhere along the way, I stopped seeing what it was costing our marriage. I let my agent handle the business so I could focus on the game. I ignored the threats and harassment. The fans who hated her simply for being mine. When Emerald tried to show me how cruel it had gotten, I told her it didn't matter. That I would always keep her safe. I was wrong. The losses piled up. The fans turned vicious. My temper snapped, and with one ugly moment, I pushed away the only person who has ever truly loved me. Then, while I was smiling for the cameras, my wife was brutally attacked by a fan wearing my jersey. Now I see everything too late. I want blood from every single person who touched her. And the deeper I dig, the clearer it becomes that none of this was random. My agent, Rick Fox, has been pulling the strings for far too long. I'll do whatever it takes to bring down the people who came for my wife, earn back the woman I love, and prove that this time, I won't fail her again. Because Emerald Sawyer is my home, my heart, my everything.

In the glittering High Court of Oakhaven, the only thing sharper than the magic is the betrayal. Elara Vance has played the part of the perfect, dutiful wife for five years. She has dimmed her own light to let her husband, the ambitious Lord Valerius, shine. She believed his whispered promises of love. She believed her own magic-the rare art of Weaving illusions-was weak and fading. She was wrong. Returning home early from a diplomatic gala, Elara walks into a nightmare. She finds Valerius not just in the arms of Lady Lyra, a cruel elemental mage, but engaged in a forbidden Siphoning Ritual. They haven't just been betraying her heart; they have been feeding on her soul to fuel Valerius's rise to power. Left for dead in the ruins of her sanctuary, Elara is expected to wither away. Instead, the betrayal unlocks something dormant in her blood. Her magic isn't gone; it has been unleashed. Now, with the help of Kaelen-a disgraced, dangerous, and devastatingly handsome mercenary with a score of his own to settle-Elara returns to the court. But not as the victim. Hidden in plain sight, armed with illusions that can blur the line between nightmare and reality, she becomes the architect of their downfall. She doesn't want to just kill them. She wants to make Valerius and Lyra destroy each other, one paranoid whisper, one stolen memory, and one seduced secret at a time. They stole her life. Now, she is going to weave their ruin.

Have you ever wondered what it might look like if you could just say whatever it was you wanted, needed, to say when life has thrown a curveball at you? This is the level Tania reaches when her husband of five years continues to take the side of his female BFF and mother over Tania. There is only so much a person can take under the umbrella of love. And this, this is the last straw! The goal is to have a few different, short, and to the point stories of how sometimes we would like a story and situation to play out, if we didn't have manners, care about reputations, and concern ourselves with the feelings of others over our own. Its time someone responds Unrestrained! *Disclaimer: This is not a story for the faint of heart. The FML will get angry, and it will NOT be pretty. Expect offensive and mean language coming from the FML. OW drama, MIL Drama, and emotional betrayal. Also, tongue-in-cheek fun as well.
