Harper Cruz appear to be one of the happiest people around; she's the girl who has everything, she's living her life, she's an influencer...
But all this came at a cost. Living the 'high life' meant Harper had to be fake. While her Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat all displayed a life perfect for a queen, no one saw what or who Harper really was.
Social media addiction was a serious debilitating condition which could ruin a person. And all through the click of a button.
Harper is about 2 social media posts away from being diagnosed with that very serious condition but for right now, social media was just her obsession. It was Harper's obsession, and it was ruining her and everything about her. Her relationships with her family, friends and especially the relationship with her loving and all too loyal boyfriend. Slowly, she was becoming detached from reality and consumed by this perfect, fake life that she was portraying over the internet to friends, family, even strangers. Falling in love with the smallest compliment, living for the comments, the likes, the shares.

Abused by One Alpha Mate, Lied to by Another Alpha Mate
"You are mine and belong to no one else" he sneered in my face "You're wrong" I mumbled turning my head away "You are my toy and I use you when I want" he smirked "But you-I-I'm your mate! You're supposed to love me and care for me not fuck around with other girls and have me whenever you want!" I screamed. His smirk fell and was replaced by a scowl. He lifted his hand and I flinched back awaiting the slap. But all I heard was a growl and a grunt of pain. I opened my eyes and there he was. The man I felt an indescribable connection to. It wasn't until he turned to me, his golden eyes meeting my teal ones that I realised what connection I held with him. Mate! My wolf howled Another one!?

I beg to differ that.", I sassed and got out of his grip ready to move out of the room when he pulled me by my elbow and the next second I was pushed on the visitor's chair. He trapped me completely by keeping his palms on the arms of the chair. "I tried to tell you patiently.", I scoffed at his words. Patience and he don't go in a single sentence. He gripped my chin making me look into his eyes."Now listen carefully Miss, I want you for my niece as her babysitter. Tell me how much you'll take and we can seal the deal." This time it was me who blinked once, twice and thrice. "But I don't want to work for you." See the reason was absolutely clear. I liked the kid since the moment I met her but I hated this man from the moment I gazed into his eyes. "How much?" I frowned."You really think your money can make everyone dance on your tips?" "1200 dollars a week." I rolled my eyes making him lean towards me." 1500?" "Make it 15000 and still I won't work for you.", I retorted and pushed him. I walked to the door and gave him one glance."Next time when you talk to me, make sure you keep all your richness aside. That's one thing that I never want to see you again, you self-centred CEO." "We shall see." . . . Brave but lonely. Passionate but sensitive. That's Arielle Summers. For everyone, Money, Assets and happiness may be supreme but to her, self-respect is prime.
