Hide Your Fires by BeMineInJuly

"Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires. The eye wink at the hand, yet let that be Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see." - Shakespeare People make mistakes. People break rules. People even break the law. Sure, we aren’t perfect creatures but the thing about people is that we usually have pretty good reasons behind those bad decisions. And another thing about people is that they tend not to care about reasons as much as actions. Hallie Rhodes has found this out the hard way. No, she’s not proud of the decisions that she’s made that may have put her at odds with the law, but she had her reasons. Not that anybody cares about reasons. The way Hallie saw it, she had no choice except to forge the documents to get herself and her two younger brothers out of an abusive foster home. She has had a lot of tough breaks in her life. She’s only eighteen but she already has custody of her two younger brothers and to make ends meet, she’s taken on a full-time job along with balancing her senior year of high school. Strong, determined, and mature- Hallie is ready for whatever life throws at her. Except for Tate Conner, who is the exact opposite of Hallie. Lazy, entitled, immature, and cocky. Fresh out of reform school and on parole, he is the epitome of a bad influence, which is why Hallie is outraged when she notices that her younger brother is starting to befriend Tate. As they continuously but heads, Hallie starts to wonder just how put-together she really is.

𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 || ✍︎︎ by _iinknpaper

𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24

BLACKMAILED BY THE BILLIONAIRE by Deeall2024

To the world, Harry Styles is untouchable-a billionaire playboy whose charm, wealth, and good looks make him the man everyone wants but no one can have. Arrogant and demanding, he lives in a world of excess, and his assistant Bella is the one holding it all together. But to Bella, Harry is a storm she's forced to weather-his ego as massive as his empire and his control over her life absolute. The breaking point comes when Bella, overwhelmed and desperate for freedom, attempts to resign. Her bid for escape is crushed by Harry's ruthless maneuver: a threat to expose a secret that could devastate her family and imprison her father. Trapped by the weight of potential scandal, Bella is left with no choice but to agree to his terms-one more year in his service. A year of late nights, impossible demands, and a boss who seems to delight in making her life miserable. But things take a darker turn when Harry's pride and arrogance lead to a high-stakes bet with his inner circle. Ben, a shrewd observer of human nature, notices that Bella seems immune to Harry's legendary charm and wealth. Doubting Harry's claim that no one is beyond his reach, Ben challenges him to seduce Bella-an impossible conquest. Harry, with his signature sardonic grin, makes a bold declaration: "Believe me, if I set my sights on Bella, she'd be interested. Everyone has a price, every heart has a key. I simply haven't bothered to look for hers." The terms are simple: if Harry succeeds in breaking through Bella's defenses and winning her over, he secures a lucrative investment and solidifies his dominance. If he fails, he risks losing a substantial share of his empire-a loss Harry refuses to consider. What starts as a calculated game of seduction soon spirals into something far more dangerous. As Harry works to unravel Bella, he begins to question whether he's the one being unraveled. And for Bella, resisting Harry's relentless pursuit means guarding not just her heart, but everything she holds dear.
