Rags to Riches (True Damage Senna x Male Reader)
[Short Story] It starts with Ekko Lee and Y/N L/N, best friends since grade school, each who found their own out of the Zaun hood. One through rapping on the street corners, dropping his heater for a mixer, having his mixtape picked up by K/DA's very own Akali for a listen. Another, through the darkest pit of hell that has opened to swallow him whole, alongside demons, and paper flying from his duffle bag. A criminal, a felon with dirty fingers, a grubby clown, a freak, "a greedy jester who shows no remorse for his fellow human being on his self-proclaimed, 'fight against corruption'.", as his favorite news station loves to portray it. Nobody knew who Y/N really became, and those who did would never sell a brother out. Keep that truth locked up tight like Stillwater, Firelights for life. Ekko and Y/N had a falling out as one would expect. Something made them cross paths once again... or was it someone... Man, I don't know what it was... I ain't tellin' you anyway. DISCLAIMER: This will be my own modern adaptation of the LoL Runeterra world. Zaun is going to be the bad part of the city, whilst Piltover will be the richer, more prosperous side.

Once a beloved actress in Nigeria, she walked away from the spotlight for a quiet, private life after marrying billionaire heir Olayinka Adegbite in a secret ceremony in France. Though she struggled to conceive, she poured all her love into raising her ten-year-old stepson, Tobi, treating him as her own flesh and blood. But within the walls of the prestigious Adegbite mansion in Lagos, truth is a rare commodity. Unbeknownst to Ayotunde, the family she married into thrives on manipulation, secrets, and power games. Her world crumbles the day she discovers that the quiet nanny who lives with them-Kemisola-is not just a staff member, but Tobi's biological mother. Worse still, it was Olayinka who planted her there, believing two mothers would create the "perfect upbringing." The shock shatters Ayotunde's fragile peace, but fate isn't done with her. That same day, she loses the child she had just discovered she was carrying-and her marriage. Cast out and broken, Ayotunde embarks on a journey of reclamation, truth, and revenge.

With the help of the woman once positioned as her rival, she rises from the ashes to fight for custody, truth, and justice. In a society where wealth hides wickedness, Ayotunde learns that strength is not in what you lose-but what you choose to become after the fall.Complete
