"Money and Power"
The authority above all humans!
I love money, the smell intoxicates me and I would do anything for money. While others gather wealth to flaunt, I gather wealth to be able to fight and I wouldn't back down until I win. I've been through fire, through ice and both elements made me stronger than the average woman. What my parents took, I won't take.
My psychologist told me to find my solace, my peace, tranquillity. I only took her advice and currently, I just set sail to journey through the realm that will bring me peace.
My resources; Masen Maverick
My target; Phoenix Emmerich
My name; Adelaide McCauley!

Velvet and Vices: Behind Ruby's Eyes
The chandelier above cast golden light across the marble floor, but the silence in the room was anything but warm. Ruby stood near the edge of the ballroom, her back to him, her hands clenched so tightly at her sides that her knuckles blanched. The satin of her gown shimmered, but her presence outshone even that. "Say something," Xavier said. "I don't owe you words," she shot back, still facing the window, watching the city she had once fought so hard to rise in now swallow her whole. He exhaled slowly. "You can hate me, Ruby. But you walked into this marriage knowing what it was." She finally turned, and for a split second, he saw the girl underneath the courtroom victories and cold indifference. The girl who had buried a mother and renamed herself to survive. "I walked in to protect the only piece of my mother I had left," she said. "And you-you walked in to make your father shut up." "That's not fair." "No. But neither is love born in contracts." Their eyes locked, fire against ice. Neither blinked. Neither breathed. And yet, in that moment-amid family legacies, billion-dollar deals, and a city that never sleeps-two broken souls stood in a stillness that felt like destiny. He stepped closer. She didn't move. Outside, the snow began to fall. --- Ruby Sanders isn't just a woman with a courtroom reputation-she's a name carved in grief, ambition, and secrets. Forced into a strategic marriage with Xavier White, the enigmatic heir to an old money empire, she's determined to keep her walls high and her past buried. But Xavier isn't just a pretty face with a billion-dollar mind-he's chaos in a tailored suit, and he's about to unravel everything she thought she'd buried. In a world of lies, legacy, and betrayal, can two people forced together by the past to survive long enough to rewrite their future? This isn't just a love story. It's a reckoning.

Indecorous
(18+ EXPLICIT CONTENT) "Attract a lot of attention, huh beautiful?" His voice hit me like a wall, absurdly catching me off guard. It was deep, sensual, something any girl (or boy) could melt over. I was sort of speechless, yet trying my best to appear unafflicted. "Only the wrong ones." That was definitely drunken me talking, as I didn't usually have that much confidence. His lips twitched up into a smirk, expressing that he understood my comment. "Does that mean that I'm in that category?" My palms began to grow sweaty and my heart rate picked up, but otherwise my body remained relaxed, appearing completely fine. It similar to when you're on autopilot, completely withdrawn due to intoxication. "I suppose not," I crossed my arms, putting on this seductive persona just for him. This fueled his smirk, about to murmur another comment before I cut him off.

Trapped In Love ✓
"C- Can you move b- back a little?" My words made him smirk and if it's even possible, he came closer. Why do I always have to stuck between him and the desk?! "Why? Am I making you nervous?" "No." I lied. Ofcourse, he was making me nervous. His eyes had the power to hold a person on his place and that's what his eyes were doing to me. "Really?" He asked, putting his hands on my waist and pulling me closer towards him. On instinct, I put my hands on his chest. I didn't like it. I didn't like the way my body was responding to his touches. "T- This is un- unprofessional." I choked out the words, but I wish I couldn't have. He brought his face closer, so close that I could feel his minty breath on my lips. My lips parted accordingly in shock. "Oh, is it?" He said, mockingly. Oh god!
