💄👠Make sure to follow for a sequel!💔👀😍
In the dial-up days of the early '90s, Marissa walks away from a cushy creative agency job to build something of her own - with zero experience, zero funding, and zero room for failure. She's broke, unemployed, and out of options - until one bold piece of advice from her mentor, Victoria Hart, flips the script: "Start your own."💯
💡Armed only with grit, intuition, and one risky piece of advice, she launches Femmetrics - a first-of-its-kind consultancy that blends fashion, psychology, and early data modeling to give female-led brands the edge in a world designed by men.
👸But success attracts shadows. As Marissa's boutique grows into a rising tech-powered platform, rivals close in - including Daniel Clark, a smooth-talking CEO trying to steal her model and rebrand it as his own "women-focused" empire...without a single woman at the helm.
🕵️♀️Worse? Elle, a former ally, may be helping him from the inside. 💔 And Julien, her magnetic new love interest? He's hiding a dangerous connection to Daniel's world - one that could unravel everything.♟️
🧠With a brainy, bold, and diverse team by her side - from Oxford-educated Nina 🎯 to data-hacking Danika 💿,, and theatre-major wild card Caleb 🎬- Marissa must fight to protect her vision, her power, and the platform she built for women like her.

Hidden
The shy girl wanted to prove she could be useful to the CEO's plan-seducing a dangerous man. Trembling, she carefully straddled Diana's lap, heart pounding, desperate to show she wasn't as helpless as she seemed. Diana's cold voice challenged her: "Is that all you can do? You think this is helping? Sitting on me, trembling like that?" But inside, watching Anna like this, she felt something she refused to admit-losing control. Anna ran away to start over. At nineteen, she left behind a strict father, a forced engagement, and a life that never felt like hers. Now she's tucked away in a quiet corner of Thailand, working at a small café and trying to find pieces of herself again. Then Diana (33) walked in. Cold, composed, and impossibly intimidating, Diana is the kind of woman who commands a room without saying a word. A powerful CEO with a mysterious edge and eyes that never miss a thing. She claims she's just there for coffee... but she lingers. Watches. Smiles, when no one's looking. When a spilled drink and an innocent apology turn into a moment neither of them expected, Anna finds herself pulled into a game she doesn't understand, one filled with secrets, tension, and a closeness that feels too dangerous to want. But Diana isn't just a customer. And Anna isn't just a girl working behind the counter. One is hiding a mission. The other is trying not to lose herself. And neither of them is ready for what's coming next.Complete

Compelling Affection
The young Professor Kim Jisoo has built a near-perfect fortress around her life: an unyielding academic career as the youngest professor, fierce independence, and zero tolerance for emotional inefficiency. For her, the world operates strictly on logic and data, definitely not romance. But her system gets a double shock: the relentless matchmaking pressure from her mother, and the sudden, disruptive arrival of Zhang Yixing at a conference. That man, the sharp, formidable CEO of Zhang Dong Petrochemical, didn't just listen to Jisoo; he challenged her with a nuanced, fierce argument, proving he was the only intellectual match she had ever encountered. =================================================================== Heads up: This isn't fanfiction; it's a completely original story. However, if the names and sharp aesthetics seem familiar? Well, I plead guilty to being heavily inspired by certain very compelling figures. Think of it as original content with a familiar face. I love the names, so please forgive the lack of creativity there! 😉✨Complete
My Unwanted Billionaire
"Tell me, Eleanor, do you like seeing me like this? Do you like seeing me angry with you?" he yells, banging the spot above my head.

Helplessly Falling For Mr. Hunter
"I should be allowed." He says with gritted teeth. His voice filled with something. A thing a lot like desire that brings me back to crazy reality. A reality where we are tangled up against each other. "You should be al...-" A gasp escapes my mouth as he lifts me up or rather goes further low for me. His hands, back on my waist. Face buried in the crook of my neck, he inhales into my skin. Still inhaling he lets out a manly groan that I feel everywhere, in places I didn't know existed. The places that come to life because of him. "I should be allowed to touch you." He rasps in my neck. My back arches up and I close my eyes at his declaration. At his domination. At his intoxication. "You should be allowed to touch me." I insist. Brain empty. Because I can't think right now. He lifts his head up then, I notice his eyes have gone darker. His features have gone wilder. Representing an untamed animal in a way. ------------------------- Isabella Evans is your typical good girl who has a bit of a dark past.
