Chapter 1Front page of the Daily Dot

"You are on the front page of the Daily Dot, ma'am!" Her devoted secretary, Eileen, shouts out, bursting in through the door of her office.

 

"Whaat?!" Averna exclaimed.

 

"Look!" She said, passing the tabloid for Averna to see.

 

Upon reading it, Averna's eyes widened. "What in the freaking hell?!" She exclaimed, reading the headline. 

 

"There is no way this is true. What are these nosy reporters driving at?"

 

"Hold on," Eileen said, running out of the office.

 

"Crap!" She cussed, pacing back and forth, her eyes scanning the glossy paper.

 

"Miss Averna, the team is right outside in the lobby." Eileen reported as she adjusted her brunette bob.

 

"This is the most absurd thing I've ever heard. What do they mean they know I have a hidden secret or a devious means behind my wealth?" 

 

Pushing back her chair, she stood up and walked to the door, her ankle strap heels making a clip-clop sound as they made contact with the marble floor, with Eileen following closely behind.

 

The doors opened wide. The walls of the lobby were covered with Verna posters. Pikes, and everything. She stood there for a moment and turned to the secretary. "Well? Let them in."

 

"A–Are you sure, ma'am?" Eileen asked, hesitating. "I mean, if you don't let them in, there would be no repercussions whatsoever, and our team is working on covering the trending topic."

 

"And let them talk behind my back?" Averna glared at her secretary. "I've worked thirteen years for this, and now they suddenly dispute the potency of my companies. When my company was erected in various locations, why didn't they complain then?! Why now? Just because I'm a woman?!" She flared in rage.

 

"Miss Averna!" Some of the reporters called out the minute they spotted her; their hands stretched forward, pushing against the guards, preventing their unauthorized entry.

 

"I've got to go." Averna said, holding firmly onto her coat and sunglasses, and stormed towards the door.

 

"Miss Averna! We have a statement to make!" One of the reporters called out. She raised her phone to record a short clip for her social media account and was about to hit record when she turned towards the door and saw a bevy of other fellow reporters, flashbulbs popping, and their cameras capturing the scene.

 

"Miss Averna, what do you have to say? You have seen our post on the Daily Dot, right?" The reporter asked, her phone up and ready to catch the scoop they were all dying to get.

 

Averna's face was bright red. She reached out and snatched the phone, swiftly putting it to sleep while tossing it back to the reporter. 

 

"I have nothing to say; I don't have to comment on any of this. I have a right to privacy, and it is well known that this country is a country of liberty and free speech."

 

"That is true, but since you are a public figure, a celebrity, there are ways the media can track you down." One of the reporters countered. He was a slender man, with a blue business shirt and tie. Donning a moustache and dark, sleek back hair.

 

The other reporters called out their agreement, and the camera flashed back to Averna and Eileen.

 

"Even your sudden rise to power was a big and clear case of press coverage. And when it comes to the front page of the Daily Dot, it does mean something to the public." A female reporter yelled amidst the rest.

 

"I'm not giving a statement." She told them, and she walked past. 

 

The reporters shouted out their continued protest, and a couple of them tried their luck, but she brushed off all their continued protest and walked to her car. 

 

Eileen stood at the door.

 

The chattering reporters followed Averna to her waiting chauffeur driven car with a tinted window and tinted visor. Her personal car was a Mercedes E-63 AMG with a cherry red body and a black leather interior.

 

"You, Miss Averna!" One of the reporters began; he had managed to sneak his way and stood next to the open passenger door of the car.

 

"What now?" she hissed.

 

"Your car's registration number is NW8NY." He said this, not minding the demeaning look Averna gave.

 

She rolled her eyes and pressed her window up. "You people are worse than the press."

 

"Jared, take me home, now." She ordered the chauffeur, and he pressed the button to start the engine. Averna put on her sunglasses before her view was obscured by the tinted glass.

 

"What the hell would they want to do with my registration number? Track me to my home?" She asked as the car sped off in the opposite direction. "Ha! I'd like to see them try."

Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?

【StrongFL,Faceslapping】 【Superrich ML,sweet pampering】 Lin Wu was reborn. Her mother was duped into a sham marriage by a worthless man. And she herself was the pitiful illegitimate daughter kicked out of a wealthy family. She was mocked, "What can a wild child from the countryside amount to?" Facing adversity, she smiled faintly.

She established her own skincare brand, living a prosperous life ever since. Forgiving her enemies? Never. If there's no justice, she will be the justice herself. —— Just as Lin Wu's life is thriving, her grandfather's family, who had been missing for many years, finally found her! And so, the woman who everyone thought was forsaken, divorced and saddled with a child, unexpectedly became the sole heir to a super wealthy family. What shocked Lin Wu even more was that her "good-for-nothing" car mechanic boyfriend transformed overnight into an unattainable top tycoon. Afterwards, Lin Wu became a lady of high society, who got everything handed to her on a platter and was pampered by the tycoon to the heavens and back. —— Later. Lin Wu had become a renowned female entrepreneur. Standing on a high platform, she delivered her speech: "Our ancestors mostly valued boys over girls. They neglected the education and growth of girls, trapped them between household and trivial matters, asserting that husband was heaven and son was earth. Once betrayed by men, these women would lose their support and be condemned as ruined!" "But today!" "Look at this plaza filled with thousands of people, they are all young female entrepreneurs, the hope of humanity!"

~Let's play a game– A pretend sort of game. Your thoughts would define where you fall to while you read my options in accordance to how it shows on my lovely readers or boring losers 🤫😅(I intend no rude behaviour to anyone in particular whatsoever 🤞) ~Are you ready? Lovely readers: Yes author, I'm interested!!! Boring losers: No, why am I even here in the first place!!! ~Okay okay, so here goes. Let's pretend I'm not the author of this novel 👀(*cough *cough this is definitely not a shameless review, as there's nothing to be ashamed of since I'm nothing but a reader and admirer of this lovely novel right here, just like everyone 🏃‍♀️) Lovely readers and boring losers staring at one another awkwardly. Lovely readers: Oh I get it, you are a reviewer and reader just like we are. (Nods head in agreement and follows the game) Boring losers: This is the author for crying out loud, you guys 🤦🤦‍♂️🤦‍♀️ don't be fooled. ~So if there's nothing boring to say(completely ignores the losers comment with the roll of the eye) I'd like for you to pretend you never knew anything about this book and want to know what it entails from a senior reader and divine future reader as myself 😝. Lovely readers: Sure, we could do that. Boring losers: whatever, not like this isn't another one of you author's shameless reviews. ~Let's pretend this Story Development is of balanced theme, neither too fast nor too slow. We got 8 arcs in total which depicts partly the months given to Damian to gather the information he needs on Averna and few others how things take a drastic turn unexpectedly. Lovely readers: We could work with that. Boring losers: But author– ~I am not the author(*lies! Bloom Lies'e' should have been my first and last name🤔👀 {no no don't call me that} )! You're going out of character, why are you still sticking around? Lovely readers, boring losers continue their awkward glances, forcing a smile. ~Let's pretend the update stability is superb(*Cough *cough by the middle of September it will be daily, the higher the ranking by PS or GT and summoning pens[👀] the more chances of larger numbers of releases daily.) Lovely readers: Can't wait to spend on this story if worth it! Boring losers: That's a lie, you aren't getting any of my money. ~Let's pretend my character design is of an equally strong ML and FL but this time their roles are switched, in what sense?: The ML is goofy, confident in his abilities and a little narcissistic. Not to mention he's a respected and secretive paparazzi reporter(one of the higher up status in that establishment) who has little to no integrity when it comes down to work. Damian repeatedly gets on the nerves of the FL and sometimes acts as a creep, all done so he could force his way into her high and mighty world. The FL is a successful billionaire, loves technology more than people so naturally she got a friend as an AI in her home and made sure most things done if not all are through the use of technology, so expect lots, I mean lots of reference to this~Ps no cyborgs 🤦🏻‍♀️😓 just because I said technology (She does have few friends though). She is sometimes referred secretly among her employees as the 'Queen of the underworld' as per the meaning of her name and the way she behaves and runs the company. She is seem as aloof, down to earth on success–as shown in her companies, distant, sometimes cruel and demanding by others but deep down she holds a need to be wanted, loved(why? Well since I'm not the author you'd have to read to find out 😈– no major spoilers from the divine future reader) Lovely readers: Wow, I can't wait to begin on this book! Boring losers: Yet another clichéd story ~Let's pretend my writing quality is excellent– I... I mean above average 👀, and you are bound not to see any, no mixup of British or American English, no punctuation or grammatical errors, trust me 👀 (*cough *cough your divine future reader is human 🥲 I just might make a few in this review also 🤦🏻‍♀️) Lovely readers: Everybody makes mistakes, so long you try your best to make the story worthwhile, what's a little mistake going to do. I'd give constructive criticism in a polite way, you don't need to worry. Boring losers: Yet another flawed story, why would you ignore few punctuation marks or end up describing the two leads as–(lovely readers closes the mouth of boring losers #defense mode activated) [They talk too much 🤫 wouldn't want spoilers from them in that way 😉. Thankyou lovely readers for having my back] ~Lets pretend the World Background is in a fictional city of Dardale, names of country would be included but do not expect the cities to be the same as this is nothing but the author's imagination, with a female Billionaire CEO theme driven. Paparazzi who are the main bad eggs in this story, not so quick to love as it might or might not be in the despise gaining on the MC's, surprising betrayals is one of the in things with a pinch of _____ scenes to spice things up rather than throw it to the wind for some content 👀, expect some cu__ words along the way. Lovely readers: Divine future reader why?! The chapters haven't gotten to where all this are paraphrased 😭 please publish more chapters. Boring losers: As said before a clichéd story, why am I even here? See ya losers. [Yay! they're gone! Everyone celebrate!] Boring losers: Did you really think you could get rid of me? I live for the criticism 😈😈😈 Lovely readers: 🔪🍳 author, should we do the honors? [Who? Who's the author? I am a divine future reader!!!! Ahhh where's your pretending game?!] ~Let's pretend you would always buy my privilege tiers once out and would flood the book with your comments, thoughts and opinions🤞 Lovely readers: I can do that! So long you give us good content, you don't need to worry. Boring losers: I could flood your book with my comments and thoughts 😈, finally something good the author has said in a while 🙄. [Who are you calling au– you know what? I don't care what you have to say anyways, carry on loser] ~And lastly let's pretend I have a 5 star rating out of 10(*cough*cough, give me a 5 star, it's smaller than 10 right? But just enough. And as many times possible. Lovely readers: I'd gladly give a 5 star, it might be 4.9 if I see just a few things off but definitely would be 5 mostly. I'd review as many times possible as the story progresses. Boring losers: Expect a 1 or 2 star review, not because of hate but I just felt like or I read few chapters and based my review on those. ~So, what category did you fall into? Lovely readers or boring losers? 👀

C.a.p.t.i.v.a.t.i.n.g and Very Well-Written. The first thing that stands out is beautiful writing, it flows nicely and is glamorously descriptive. I cannot stress enough how much I like the writing. The amount of effort that author pours into this story, I could feel it through her beautiful writing. Now onto my impression of the lead, Averna. I intensely like her character, she is such a strong, regal and accomplished woman. In the way author picture her character through every of her dialogue, I could only say she is cool and levelheaded person. As for story development, it has been great so far. The pace is just goof, neither too slow nor too fast. It follows the characters nicely and we can get insight into their mind which I highly appreciate. What I like most in this story though, is the dialogue writing, author does a very good job in this aspect as every dialogue I read is intriguing and fascinating. All in all, it's pretty great read. It's just my only dislike in this story is the male lead, Damian (Fyi, I'm reviewing this story based 11 available chapters at the moment). It's just personal honestly. First reason why I dislike him, I know that I don't see the paparazzi in a good light but I was expecting some integrity in him, which I don't find any at the moment. Second, he is very narcissistic in the way he thinks and behaves. Third, somewhere in the story he just trespassed his boundary by entering FL's house without her consent, they're not even close for him to visit her house, only a creep does that. So far, I don't find any likeable character in him. Anyway, although he has many flaws in my perspective, I see a large room of character development in him, which is nice to wait. Overall, it's compelling and exquisite read, I find a lot enjoyment in reading this. I just want to say that I like this story enough to give my honest opinions. Anyway thank you for sharing this story and I look forward for more of this story.
