From a young age, Ava knew one thing: being pretty meant power, and power meant freedom. Raised in the shadow of her mother's tragic life-a life defined by mediocrity, poverty, and a mysterious boating accident-Ava vowed she would escape the same fate. Being unattractive was not an option; neither was being poor. She was tired of living small and vowed to claw her way to the top, using whatever tools she had: wit, ambition, and relationships.

Navigating a world where beauty opens doors, Ava learns to sharpen her edges, turning herself into the woman men desire but never see coming. But as she rises higher, the stakes become deadlier. When you play with hearts and fortune, sometimes the only thing left to lose is yourself.

Will Ava's hunger for the good life bring her everything she's ever wanted, or will it destroy her before she reaches the top?All Rights Reserved

The Ugly Bride by Jennie_Writer

Isabel's life has been a constant struggle with the word "ugly." Her Leucoderma skin disease had made her believe that she could never be beautiful. It seemed like every person she met had an opinion about her appearance, and none of them were kind. They made her feel like it was a crime to not be born with flawless skin. Despite her outside flaws, Isabel had a pure soul, but unfortunately, no one ever bothered to understand it. Instead, they treated her like she was worthless, as if her appearance was all that mattered. But hope arrived when Isabel's marriage was arranged with the handsome and charming Mason Williams. For the first time in her life, Isabel started to believe that someone might accept her for who she was, without judging her physical appearance. She dreamed of Mason being the love of her life, someone who would see past her flaws and cherish her inner beauty. However, on the day of their marriage, Isabel's hopes were crushed when Mason Williams called her "The Ugly Bride." It was like a punch in the stomach, and Isabel wondered if Mason would ever be able to love her for who she truly was. Would he hate her forever or be able to see past her physical flaws and fall madly in love with her pure soul? Only time could tell...

Craving Ava by ritarwrites

Ava Brown, a struggling waitress haunted by her memories was someone who could never go unnoticed, despite how oblivious she was to that very same fact.

Nasty Impulse | ✔ by xhuzaifaahmad

"Come back, Ava. Why did you leave me?" He said looking deep into my eyes. "After what you did, no one can come back to you!" I shook my arm forcefully, freeing myself off of his hold. I kept standing there facing him. I once again looked straight in his dark eyes and hissed, "You are a piece of shit and nothing else." He held my both forearms as tightly as he could, making me wince with the pain he was inflicting on me. He came near me, so near that I could feel the heat radiating from his body, making my surrounding warm and fearful. He leaned down to meet my face and said with a smirk on his face, "This piece of shit is your husband and you know that."

You Changed My Story by ShaneekaBarnett02

OH MY GOD! There's nothing quite like being trapped with the one man you can't stand .. egotistic, pompous, and brutal. He was the epitome of opulence, a man whose prosperity was well known as his good looks. A top-class socialite. Born into an aristocratic family, he was as comfortable in a corporate boardroom as he was at high-society balls. The world fell at his feet. He had the kind of casual elegance that came from years of being well-educated and well-dressed. This man grew diamonds in garden of gold. His allure wasn't just his jet-setting lifestyle or his collection of rare art pieces. I lost my wings and I'd burn beautifully to take them back . . . . By Storm.
