“This isn’t fair.” I whispered, but I wasn’t sure which situation I was referring to anymore; mine or hers. “This isn’t fair. You didn’t deserve this.” And there it was, the age old question, the one that caused so much pain and loathing and confusion and anger. Why do bad things always happen to the undeserving?
It always starts with a phone call. Will Richards hadn't been a doting father; that much is obvious. But when he gets a phone call from his estranged ex-wife, she gives him a choice that will change his whole life. Riddled with regrets and a new found sense of familial commitment he leaves his life shared with a new woman and raced headlong into a world full of memories, stories and a quest for forgiveness.
Then comes the second phone call. Decidedly more cryptic than the first, and certainly not meant for his ears, Will suddenly finds himself faced with yet another decision, this one not quite as clear cut as the one before. Somehow Will, a forty-two year old divorcee from Kent, finds himself a key player in a game of mystery and intrigue, and it may be that the only person with the answers, is the one who can never speak.

The Ascent Between
Kiara Steele, a twenty-four-year-old girl, never dreamed her wedding would be sealed with silence instead of love. At twenty-four, she finds herself married to Samuel Stone, an aloof billionaire CEO, eighteen years her senior, a widower with no children, only to save her father's collapsing company. Their union is nothing more than a contract: no touch, no feelings, no expectations. But living under the same roof with a man carved from ice proves far more complicated than Kiara imagined. Samuel keeps his distance, haunted by the loss of his late wife, while Kiara struggles against the loneliness of a loveless home. For six months, they live as strangers bound by vows neither of them wanted. Until one unexpected night breaks every rule. In a story of sacrifice, secrets, and the forbidden emotions, Kiara and Samuel must decide: Will their marriage remain platonic or will fate turn it into something dangerously real? #1st in Developments (13/11/2025) 💖🔥 out of 19.7K stories #1st in Wholesome (14/11/2025) ❤️ out of 15.4K stories #1st in Aloof (17/12/2025) #2nd in Ageisjustanumber (14/11/2025) out of 1.44K stories Hello, dear readers!

They were promised to each other before they could even speak. Heir to an empire. Daughter of a legacy. Bound by a deal neither of them asked for. She's learned to live with the panic that shadows her nights, the anxiety that claws at her chest when the world becomes too much.

And just when they begin to see beyond the walls they've built around themselves, a message arrives: I know who killed your mother. The sender? A man the groom once called brother. Someone who lost eight years of his life while he walked free. Someone who wants revenge, not just on him, but on the family that destroyed everything. Lies will surface. Loyalties will shatter. And in the middle of it all, two broken souls will have to decide if they can trust each other... or if love is just another trap waiting to break them.

"You think John would've ever made you feel like this?" I asked darkly, lips brushing her nipple as my fingers circled her again. "You think he would've claimed you like I will?" She whimpered. And when I pushed two fingers inside her, her knees buckled. "Say it," I demanded. "Say you're mine." She shook her head, biting her lip. "I hate you." "Then hate me while I fuck you," I snarled, lifting her up with one arm under her thighs and carrying her to the bed of straw and soft woven sheets they'd laid out like a royal gift. I laid her down like a queen, but I wasn't here to worship. Not tonight. I was here to destroy. ❀.•°°•.✿.•°°•.❀ 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐦. 𝐇𝐞 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐭. A chaotic 20-year-old girl.

"No." he said. "It might be Anna." Once again, he said "No". The phone stopped. But as soon as I opened my mouth to finally tell him, his phone ranged again. "Please answer the phone, it's obviously important. It could even be Lori looking for you." His head turned to me so quickly, I thought he would get whiplash. "So that's what's this is all about?! Who told you she was back?" he said with an agitated voice. I said nothing but looked at his phone then said, "answer it and I'll tell you everything if you will answer one question for me, truthfully." He reached for the phone, and I tried to leave. As he answered the phone, he yanked me back to my spot on his lap and said loudly for who ever was on the phone to hear, "Stay. Put. Nicole. If you move from my lap, I will throw this phone against the wall and if it doesn't break, whoever is on the line will hear everything that I will say and do to you. Do I make myself clear?"
