Playing Hard To Get Monica Murphy

Abducted and forced into the world of human trafficking, Lucky endures the worst of the worst as a high-end plaything for the worst of the wealthy. One fateful night, she discovers something about herself that gives her hope, a chance to escape from the hell she lives in. With escape, Lucky experiences a life changing chance encounter, a kind of anonymous celebrity she never anticipated, and a very unexpected new identity. Fate is leading her down a path, one that leads her to realize that escaping alone was not enough. To truly be free, she will have to uncover her roots, and the secrets entangled within them. Claws will scratch far past the surface, digging deep into a web of deception and evil that threatens her very life and the lives of those she loves. What happens when this beautiful young woman, once a terrified victim, realizes that she is more powerful than she could ever have imagined? Now that she is surrounded by love and laughter, can she defeat the dark forces aligning against her? Will she find the courage to face the trauma of her past and free those still shackled to what she once accepted as her fate? Content Warning: ADULTS ONLY! This book contains some dark themes relating to the crime of human trafficking, forced sexual encounters, physical and emotional abuse, and violence. It is intended for a mature audience. Some content may be upsetting to survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Beware of two labrador retrievers that are very good at stealing hearts and treats! I am doing a major edit on this book and adding new chapters daily. The basic story has not changed, I am correcting spell check errors and such. I have also made some minor changes within the story itself, which I believe have improved the logical flow of the story and enhanced character development. 03/05/2025

"She is my sister Jason, I can't do this to her...", she said with tears dancing in her eyes. Truth is, she wanted him just as much as he wanted her, how can she not, this man has been nothing but kind to her. While she has been a rock to him. Someone he could lean on, the only person who remained when other's have turned their backs on him, including her sister, Stella. Growing up, the two sister, Liberty and Stella Black didn't have it easy, especially after losing their parents. Being the older one, Liberty sacrificed college in order to support her younger sister, Stella, and she never took those sacrifices lightly. In fact, if there was anything the sisters knew and appreciated, was their bond for each other. They had each other, and for each other they would perish, well, at least that was until the arrival of Jason Parker, the ever so charismatic, gentle and handsome star cricket player - oh, and rich. Jason's appearance put their bond and their characters to test, "Is blood truly thicker than water?", Liberty asked.

Reality can be harsh. Cold, unrelenting, but honest. It's enough to make anyone want to run away. Maybe to bury a past mistake, hide from who they once were, or try to live a fantasy life they feel they deserve. But attempting to escape will simply lead you to a different form of reality, one far crueler. A young man on the run finds himself in this strange new world. A world ruled by savage monsters and people who label him as one. It should've been simple enough, fight to survive, to take what he wants and needs. But reality is always more complicated than that. But he's not the problem, and he refuses to even humor that notion, the world's just unfair. Simple as that. So he's made the choice to do what he can to get back home regardless of the cost. But the weight of his decisions looms over him as he becomes more involved with those in this new world, the potential consequences becoming more catastrophic with each waking moment. Will he be overwhelmed by this cruel world? Will he become the monster he believes he’s destined to be, or will he find a new path? A road not taken? It'll make all the difference in the world.

In a world of constant competition, one man aims for the top. In this new genre VRMMORPG, he plans on becoming the strongest at all costs. The classes, the races, the starting zones, everything is a mystery in 'New Eden'. This game is coming out without a shred of details. The only thing that was promoted was the freedom of skill choosing. Our protagonist Alexander, gamer tag Astaroth, has always dreamt of becoming an E-Sports athlete. His parents supported his dream, but they are no longer of this world. He fully intends on making it in this new game, if not for him, then at least to honor their memory. With no idea how he wants to play his character, Alexander chooses the most mysterious starting race. Will this be his road to success or his downfall? The game assistant certainly thought the latter. "Do as you wish, young adventurer. I only wish to add this. Do not come back with complaints when you realize you have made the wrong choice," the elf said, looking at him with clear hatred. "We will see about that," Alexander flatly replied. "I love challenges," he added. "Very well!" the elf harrumphed. "Have the adventure of your lifetime, as short as it will last," he sarcastically added. Ahead of him lies an uncertain path, filled with trials and hardships. But one thing is clear in his eyes. He will become the strongest player in the game, even if he must step over mountains of corpses to do so. Over are his days of working hard for nothing, it's make or break now! I now have a discord where you can talk with other readers and me. There are also channels to discuss new weapons; characters; classes; or monsters that you might want to design and see incorporated in the story. I will always give credit to the person that created said thing, rest assured. The link is https://discord.gg/68kPqbSFrN

"They say life gives second chances, but mine feels more like a punishment in a shinier wrapper" Hi, I’m Ansh. I died in my old life—tragic, I know. Picture this: a cursed town, my so-called best friend leaving me in the back, and me just lying there thinking, Wow, this sucks. But hey, at least reincarnation is supposed to be cool, right? Wrong. I wake up in some random novel I’ve never read, thinking, Maybe this is my big break! Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. The first thing I feel in my new life is a slap across my face, followed by my girlfriend storming out the door. Why? Well she saw me kissing with another damn girl. Apparently, I’ve transmigrated into the body of a guy so hated, even stray dogs cross the street to avoid him. Here’s the rundown: my family disowned me for a crime that would feel unbeleivable once you learn about it. I swear I didn’t commit it. my landlord’s pounding on the door for rent I can’t pay, as the girl whom I had made my girlfriend to pay my living dumped me... and I’m 15 years old in a world where everyone has acquired their diseases or Syndromes or whatever they call it at 8. I’m so behind the curve it’s embarrassing. Oh, and did I mention I have no clue how this world works? No manual, no cheat sheet, just vibes and existential dread. But wait, there’s more! My past life won’t stop haunting me. Why did my best friend betray me? Was it my fault? Did I deserve it? I don’t know, and the goddess who dumped me into this mess saying that I am going to reincarnate in a stone age world becoming their God isn't even anymore in vicinity. Apparently, I have to earn my answers, which feels a lot like being told to “try harder” while drowning. Now I’m broke, anxious, and flailing through a world that seems designed to humiliate me. My only plan is to survive long enough to figure out why I’m here and maybe—just maybe—get some closure about my last life. Well...leaving that i am going to tuke this world.How?I will somehow figure it out. Just don’t expect me to figure it out anytime soon.

Nina Carter never meant to be the centre of attention in a high-stakes fight, most definitely not between two of the most influential players on the rink or in her life. Nina is determined to make Jake Matthews, the school's golden hockey captain, regretful ex-boyfriend. She turns around and cheats on him. Now let me introduce Enzo Knight—dangerous, haughty, and absolutely off-limits. Their deal is a phoney alliance designed to change the odds. But when their relationship blossoms, the lines separating phoney from reality start to blur. Jake is not ready to be gone. Enzo is not the kind of guy missing here. Nina still? She is buried in a game of betrayal, passion, and power. Still, someone is keeping an eye. Understanding this helps one to see secrets, past mistakes, and the price of playing with fire—not just about revenge. Emotions mixed and tensions rising will force Nina to choose between the past she once loved and the future she never intended. The stakes in this game include survival instead of just love.
