'It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. When too many people say you're mad, be it true or otherwise, you become it.'

Analie Hale Mayworth. Second daughter to the most prestigious family in the country. The Mayworths pride themselves in their designer clothing, exquisite manor house and above all, their exorbitant parties.

But when the music ends, and the festivities come to a close, how much do we truly know about the Mayworths and the elusive three daughters?

Though their photographs are constantly splattered across the newspapers, knowledge of their personal life is much to be desired. A family filled to the brim of horrifying secrets. When Analie's step father takes his obsessions too far, he goes to extraordinary lengths to keep it hidden, at Analie's expense.

Ordered admittance to a psychiatric hospital under false pretenses, years of secrets begin to come undone. Soon enough, Analie's primary psychiatrist, Dr. Thomas Lowell, starts to question the integrity of Analie's admittance. Will he be convinced that things truly are as they seem? Or will he see right through the tangled web of lies?

"Every step you take away from me only drives you closer to the brink of my madness. You belong to me, Winter. Any alternative reality or illusion you hope for- I will destroy them until your very existence is entwined with mine." -𝐈𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐀𝐫𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞 Eighteen-year-old Winter has always been a quiet shadow, a shy spy avoiding the perils of the spotlight. But when she's tasked with stalking five powerful Heirs, her carefully crafted invisibility shatters. Her mission is clear: erase their scandals, track their every move, and never draw attention. Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes. At first, Ivan saw her as dull and dependent, an insignificant watcher in the crowd. A beautiful doll to be kept locked and safe somewhere- an innocence belonging nowhere near him or his world. But when she makes one fatal mistake, he uncovers the sharp, wild mind she's concealed beneath fragile masks of pink and purples. Now, Ivan is obsessed, determined to dismantle her defenses and claim her as his own. And In a world where power rules, Winter is no longer the Hunter in the game -she's Ivan's fixation, a prey to a predator and he'll stop at nothing to change the very narrative of the fairy tale so the villain gets the girl in the end.

"You told them you love me ,huh?" He asks with a raised eyebrows, jaw hardened and eyes narrowed at the shy girl he has hated all his life. She was afraid of his tone,he didn't looked happy with her confession. Was her love going to be unrequited one? "I fuck*** asked you something Ezra! Answer me!" His tone made her gulp,his grip on her arm made her flinch in fear. "Yes" She finally answered looking into his emotionless eyes. Smirking he laughed at her confession,not believing her. "Ezra,do you even know what love is,Oh I almost forgot you are an Orphan,how would you know?" His words were sharp as knife, piercing her healed wounds. She fisted her hands, trying to control her tears. He sighed in frustration running his hand through his hair. "Now mom will not stop till she has made you her daughter in law! Fu**! Why you!" He said ,pacing the room . Oblivion to the tears ,she tried her best to hide. He didn't love her. He never did, she was a fool to even think that he for once did. Hate is all he had for her and those who said hate is the beginning of love,were fools mocking her right now. Gathering the little pride left in her she answers back in a quivering voice. "Yes,I love you. But I don't want anything from you." She says and he stares.Confused at her weird confession. Who says that ? "Nothing you say? Are you playing some brain games girl?" She lowers her eyes and leaves but not before whispering the words that made him feel something after a very long time. "Love is not something to learn ,but to feel Aaron. And I know what I feel. You may name it infatuation and lust,but I proudly call it my selfless love" ....................................................................

Briar Addison is a beautiful and intelligent young girl. She's always been told to act a certain way, as her parents are very rich and well known along the streets of London. Some call her spoilt, some say she has 'only child syndrome'. Some, even go as far as saying that she's insane. Briar has lived a comfortable and relaxed life, never living life on the edge; but always seems to be caught in the midst of trouble one way or another. Enter Everett Kaine, the university's well known 'psychopath'. He's - of course - a stereotypical bad boy, never doing what he's told, drinking and partying until the early hours of the morning, and living life on the edge. Everyone sees him as a psychopath. Everyone sees her as a spoilt little rich girl. But that's how society perceive them to be as individuals. How will they see them as a couple? Some may argue that Everett Kaine corrupted poor Briar Addison. Others claim that he set her free from life behind metaphorical bars. But, these sources are unknown. Who knows who's telling the real truth? Join the chaotic story of Briar and Everett, and make your own assumptions of who's telling the real truth. Disclaimer: this is a short story, so please don't be surprised at the fast (ish) pace of the storyline. : same universe as Social Casualty, but you don't need to read that first.
