Richard Gadd Breakdown

The Seventh Daughter of Jezebel

Shantel Hale has spent her life trying to live above the dark shadows her mother’s reputation cast over her. She has seen powerful men fall at Jessica Hale’s feet— the infamous seductress popularly termed the modern day ‘Jezebel’ only to be left ruined afterwards. But unlike her sisters, who embraced their mother’s legacy to build fortunes and secure influential husbands, Shantel, the seventh and youngest daughter of Jessica Hale, had carved her own path in secret, gathering several awesome identities for herself. One of them was the elusive Elsa—an influential force in the corporate world, sought after by the most powerful executives. CEOs vie for her counsel, but she has consistently refused to step into the limelight while offering her services. Meanwhile, in a desperate bid to salvage his company that was crumbling after a scandal, Richard Domango turns to Elsa, convinced that she is the only one who can save him. Seeing that Richard had played right into her hands, Shantel will stop at nothing to demand for her pound of flesh from Richard for humiliating her in the past. But neither is ready for the sparks that begins to fly between them, especially Richard after finding out that his saviour is none other than Shantel Hale— ‘the seventh daughter of Jezebel’ and the very woman he’d felt nothing but blatant disdain for all his life. Will they allow their past to chart a vengeful path for them, or give in to the all consuming attraction growing between them in leaps and bounds by the day?

Football Dynasty

Richard Maddox, a once-promising football prodigy, dreamed of becoming a star. But just as his dream was within reach, it was abruptly shattered when he banged his head on the goalpost, fracturing his skull. Forced into early retirement, Richard vanished from the public eye. People thought Richard Maddox was done for. However, no one expected that during his unconscious state, his spirit detached from his body. He drifted through time, witnessing the world of football from the perspective of a ghost. It was strange, unpleasant, yet exciting. No need for tickets or travel—he could simply fly. England, Italy, Spain, Germany—the best football countries in Europe—and even the passionate South America, the energetic Africa, and the growing Asia—Richard observed the rise and fall of football giants, all from the sidelines. However, watching football from the other side was quite different from experiencing it live. He missed the cheering, singing, and chanting with the other fans. No one could hear him now. No one could watch football with him. He was... alone. Just as Richard was about to be bored to death, his soul was sucked back, and he realized that only an entire year had passed. 'Interesting,' he thought, laughing. “I could bet, invest in companies that will succeed in the future, and get rich. Bitcoin, I'm coming, baby.” but who could have guessed that Richard would dive so deep into the world of football—From owning a single share to testing the waters as a scout, trying his hand as an agent, and eventually stepping into the world of coaching, before finally diving into the realm of football club ownership. It has truly been a full spectrum of football, the highs and the lows. Join us as we welcome Richard Maddox!

In Love With My Bully

“Why didn’t you tell me?” “Tell you what, Richard? What would you have done?” “I don’t know. Apologized sooner? Bought you a burger to make up for it?” Her eyes lit up with fire, “You think what you did to me… you think a burger can make up for it?” her eyes twinkled like she was fighting tears. Did I hurt her that badly? I was just a foolish teenager. “Nita, I am sorry. I was young, I was stupid. I wish I could take it all back and tell you how I feel instead of being a constant jerk to gain your attention.” “How did you feel that would justify what you did to me?” I paused for a minute, finding the words. “I had a huge crush on you at the time. And I didn’t know how to express myself. I was full of myself, I was the school’s ladies' man and the one girl I had eyes for didn’t even care if I existed,”  “And that justified what you did to me? Richard, you broke me. I can forgive you for ‘accidentally’ spilling your ice cream on me, or throwing my due assignment in the toilet, or the gum in my hair, or the glue in my chair but tell me how can I forgive you for what you did that night? Tell me!” “What night? Nita, what are you talking about?” “Remember when you asked me if I knew who sexually assaulted me?” I nodded, but what does that have to do with anything?  The more we spoke, the more confused I became. “You did and I cannot believe that you would stand there and pretend like it didn’t happen!” Nita has spent years trying to forget the torment she endured at the hands of Richard. When her family’s financial ruin forces her into an arranged marriage, she is horrified to find out the groom himself was her bully. Richard, a charming and successful businessman meets the first woman to be repulsed by him. Intrigued, he proposes a deal of a one year marriage of convenience. Navigating life as a couple, old wounds reopen, buried memories surface. As Richard learns more about his wife, he finds that he has enemies that followed him from his past to continuously cloud his wife’s judgement. Will Nita believe the truth and bury old wounds or will the pain of the past prove too strong to heal?

My Revenge?!! He Loves Me More Than The World

Jenny Anderson has always been the forgotten daughter, lost in the shadow of her father's wealth and the cruelty of her stepmother and stepsister. While her father built his business empire, Jenny endured years of neglect and maltreatment, becoming the family's scapegoat for their own failures and frustrations. Her quiet resilience was her only shield, but everything changes when her father's empire faces financial ruin, and the only way out is an unthinkable arrangement: marrying her off to Richard Logard, a billionaire shrouded in darkness and fear. Richard Logard is no ordinary billionaire. Known in the business world as ruthless and unfeeling, rumors swirl that he’s a devil in human form—a man whose fortune is as mysterious as his past. He’s feared by many, respected by few, and loved by none. When Jenny is thrust into his world, she expects nothing but cold indifference or worse. After all, what else could come from marrying the Devil himself? But Jenny soon discovers that Richard is not what he seems. Behind his fierce gaze and imposing presence, she finds a man who is fiercely protective, attentive, and—surprisingly—gentle. He treats her like a priceless treasure, lavishing her with affection and shielding her from the very people who once mistreated her. For the first time, Jenny feels seen, valued, and cared for. However, as she starts to fall for the man everyone calls a demon, her new life of luxury and love makes her stepmother and stepsister seethe with jealousy. Yet, beneath the surface of their seemingly perfect marriage lies a web of secrets. Richard’s dark past and the real reason behind their arranged marriage begin to unravel, revealing a connection between their families that runs deeper—and darker—than Jenny ever imagined. When Jenny discovers Richard’s affair, she’s torn between the man she’s grown to love and the dangerous truths that threaten to tear them apart. As Richard’s enemies close in and his true nature begins to surface, Jenny must navigate a treacherous path filled with deceit, betrayal, and revelations that will change her world forever. Can she trust the man who has captured her heart, or is she merely a pawn in his deadly game? Jenny finds herself at a crossroads. She must decide: fight for the love she’s found or flee from a man who might be far more dangerous than the devil everyone believes him to be.
