My name Aries Moore also known as the Zodiac queen to the world and I am one of the biggest pop stars. Being in the spot light has isn't always what it seems to be. Everyone thinks it's all glitz and glam being in the spot light and that everything is easy. Which in some aspect it is easy because I don't have to worry about money, I can pay my bills, don't have to worry about where my next meal is coming from, I get to dress up in the most expensive clothes, get free stuff, be pretty in front of the cameras and so on. But nobody really knows what is done behind closed doors to obtain the glitz and glam of being in the spot light. People don't see the cons to being famous. Nobody sees the truth until it is exposed. There are so many crooked people in this industry that take advantage of artist who just wants to make their dreams come true.
I am one of those people. I just wanted my dreams to come true and thought I was getting that but I was wrong. As soon as I signed that contract I didn't know I had sold my soul to the devil. I had to hide for years but just like that saying stated, what's done in the dark will come into the light.

⚠️THIS STORY IS OLD. IT ISN'T VERY GOOD. THE OTHER BOOK IS BETTER⚠️ Adeline was a good kid. She worked hard, took care of herself, and didn't let anybody push her around. At least that's what the kids at school thought. But, like most people, she had secrets. Things nobody knew about her. Nobody knew her mother and stepfather hated her. Nobody knew she lived alone with her best friend. Nobody knew that, outside of school, she was a totally different person. Nobody knew what she had been through, and all the things that left her shattered. This is how she lived her life. This is the only life she had ever known. But what would happen if all of that changed? Could one school lecture, a mishap at the courthouse, and a DNA test change her life forever? For the better or for the worst, Adeline's life is about to change. And for once in her life, she might not have to keep so many secrets. ********************************* Started: 6/18/2022 Finished: 7/29/2022 © 2022 Taylor Sassone Cover by my awesome sister @owlhootsburger13Complete
As Long as I Have You
Izuku We had our entire life planned. We were going to continue to climb the ladder, get married, and have a family. But the longer we were together, the more followers we had, it all started to fade in the background. It was photoshoots, restaurant openings, trend after trend, and eventually, I had less time to see my family, less time for the things I had wanted to do. When I got a strange DM from a guy, warning me about the man I sleep beside every night, I ignored it and trusted him. But when I got ahold of his phone for the first time in years, it was hard to ignore what I already knew. Katsuki I love my life. I have great friends, a good family, a job that even on the bad days, I still look forward to. The run-down one bedroom house that three of us share isn't exactly my favorite thing, but it's home and sharing it with Denki and Eijiro makes it feel more live able than it really is. Money's tight and we don't have a lot, but we have love, loyalty, and friendship-something that's increasingly harder to come by in LA. The DM I got from an apparent rising influencer is proof of that. On top of the various platforms he uses, his entire Instagram page is dedicated to him and his boyfriend. When he DM's me, I shoot him down and even threaten to steal his man because if he won't treat him right, someone else should. ⚠️TRIGGER WARNINGS⚠️ Alcohol/Drug use Cursing Cheating Abuse SmutComplete
Resurgence
WORK IN PROGRESS‼️ ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── There was no noise; I was at peace, and ironically, the stone-cold pavement never seemed warmer as my blood oozed out of me and around me like a painted canvas. I was slowly losing consciousness, but my mind never seemed happier now that I was dying. The white walls with big bright lights did not resemble heaven; in fact, it was quite the opposite. I thought I had died. When I came to, I found myself in this strange place, disoriented and confused. I looked around and found another five pairs of eyes looking at me with the same emotion swirling in their gaze. Now, 15 years later, I train with these girls. Our makers take care of us, feed us, and make sure we are clean, healthy, and fit. Some of us never had that; that's probably why it took so long for us to realize we were being used. The dirty work they made us do, none of us questioned it. How could we when we were taken off the streets? For a chance at normalcy, we settled for anything, even if that meant blurring the lines of right and wrong. After a mission gone haywire, we started noticing, and now we strike back to take our voices and reclaim the power that was used on us as a way to control us. After all, they are the ones who trained us; we are just returning our long-overdue favour. ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ── Rankings : Featured in Mystery-thriller #5 in Mystery-thriller on 7/12/24

I kneel in front of him and instantly unbuckle his belt and unzip his black pants. He watches me eagerly from above, keeping his hands to his side, letting me lead. "Are you jealous when I flirt with those men for information?" I bat my eyes up at him innocently as I pull his pants down to his knees. His face hardens as he considers my question. "I don't like your hands on them." He grumbles and I smirk. I already knew the answer. "I do it for you, Enzo." I remind him as I move my mouth closer to him. "Only me."

RECLAIM TRUST
I've always been invisible. Not the kind of invisible where people pretend you don't exist. The kind where they see you, hear you, even smile at you but never really notice. Where your victories are someone else's spotlight, your efforts always falling just short of recognition. Where your life feels like a rehearsal, and everyone else gets the applause. That was me Erin Santos the shadow in every room, the extra in everyone else's story. Until that night. A night that should have been nothing. A night that changed everything. He appeared like a storm in the corner of a bar: tall, sharp, magnetic. Adrian Velasquez. A man whose presence demanded attention, whose gaze cut deeper than knives. One night. One mistake. One moment that would pull me from the shadows and thrust me into a world I didn't belong in a world of power, wealth, secrets, and danger. And just like that, my life became a public spectacle. Whispers, photos, scandals. Headlines calling me names I never thought I'd deserve. And through it all, he offered a deal: work for me, become my shadow, play my part... and maybe, just maybe, find a place in the light. But in the world of the Velasquez family, nothing is simple. Every smile hides a lie, every touch carries a warning, and every secret has a price. This is my story. The story of how the invisible girl finally stepped into the spotlight and discovered that sometimes, seeing isn't enough.
