Fame, wealth, youth, and beauty is the dream life for most women.

For 19 year old Daphne Evers, it's a reality. Heiress of her father's multi-billion dollar empire, she finds herself constantly drowned in the spotlight of attention and men who only seem to like her for the money. Despite her good looks and high class status, she remains the selfless, innocent girl her mother taught her to be. It's no secret that almost everyone envies the beautiful girl. But the question is...how far is someone willing to go to get what Daphne was born into?

The answer is kidnapping.

When her father's night of media and glory is crashed by ski-masked men with fake guns, Daphne finds herself tied and thrown into the back of a van. Being held hostage for ten million isn't that scary, not really. Not when the kidnappers are complete amateurs. But when Daphne finds herself thrown into the arms of one of the most wanted and notorious criminals in the country, that's when things start to go wrong.

Have you heard of Aanya the A-List actress and motivational speaker? Of course you have, but do know about her journey from rags to riches? Well its nothing short of an extreme emotional rollercoaster. Aanya always dreamed of breaking free from the confines of her small village, where a girl's fate was decided by others. An aspiring actress with a fire in her heart, she seizes her chance when offered a role in a film-at the cost of her long, cherished hair. What begins as a bold move to defy the norms spirals into a nightmare when she is kidnapped and forced into a life of misery, stripped of her dignity, her dreams, and even her hair. Sold into a cruel marriage with a shady old person, Aanya's life is shaped by abuse and loss. Yet, she refuses to be broken. She falls in love with the man's son, leading to the ultimate betrayal. With nowhere to hide, she has to fend for herself. Working as a hooker in a casino she is reunited with an old classmate. With his support, Aanya begins a journey of reclamation-from finding unlikely love to surviving the shame her past brings upon her. Together, they are thrust into a society that punishes them for daring to be different, but they refuse to give in. Fleeing to a new city, Aanya carves out a new identity-a model who captures the world's attention and a motivational speaker who inspires others to rise above their scars. In a story of unyielding spirit and unexpected courage, Aanya discovers that sometimes, it's not about what's taken from you, but what you choose to create from what's left. **This story does have themes of abuse and harrassment.**

"Let me go, you sick, twisted, bastard!" I seethed through gritted teeth. I felt an uncontrollable amount of fear rake over my body. I soon began to shake. The fear that I pushed aside was bubbling up in my stomach, and I felt like I was going to yak. I swallowed the urge to do so, and gritted my teeth. Trust me, I wanted to yak all over this pretentious asshole. "Sorry kitten, not ever going to fucking happen." He said carelessly as he tightened his grip on the steering wheel. His eyes were fixed on the dark road ahead of us, the road I surely didn't want to die on. "I'm not your fucking kitten!" I hissed. "Now let me out of this fucking car before I rip your balls off and shove them down your thr-" Before I could even finish my sentence the car swerved to the side of the road and came to a sudden stop, immediately sending me flying into the dash. My forehead collided with the roughness of the dash. I slowly pulled away and tried to sit back up, a small groan escaped my mouth as I rubbed my now bleeding forehead. I heard him rustling around, but couldn't see much due to the black spots in my vision. I heard the sound of something popping open and the sound of liquid being poured. I rubbed my head painfully and blinked several times. "Tell me kitten," I heard him say slyly. "Does this smell like chloroform?" He chuckled. Emily Watts, twenty years old and living alone in LA, due to her parents being drunken assholes. She had barely any money to her name, and worked at a small diner, trying to earn some money. Emily's life was in a constant loop, work and sleep. Until it was turned upside down when she meets the most powerful Mafia boss in Los Angeles. Luca Adorno.

However, this time he did a move that I didn't expect. His face turned dark, his eyes shaded black as he smirked in a very evil way. "Why aren't you scared, little bird?" As he pulled a gun from his pants and put it on the desk pointing it towards me, he said, "I can kill you and no soul would know about it." He chuckled again. I chuckled matching his energy. I wasn't going to give up yet. He was surprised by my nonchalance and satisfied by this, I sat down. "Fear is not going to save me from my end. Whether I die or not, it doesn't matter. I really don't care. Thats why I am not scared of you." *** Laila Pierro is a very intelligent young lady who gets kidnapped by a domineering tycoon leader due to her grandad's dangerous line of business.
