Poster Girl

Abused and thrown away in a container, Mallory, eighteen years old, thinks that this is it; this is how her life is ending and what a tragic life it has been. But fate isn't done with her yet. Hunter Brown, a low-life gangster, is passing by an alleyway when he is alerted by the cries from a rolled-up carpet thrown in a container. She told him to let her die, but he decided to save her life. This is a novel about generations of secrets of the Wraith family being unfolded and an abused and broken girl who has to run for her life while trying to heal and start over. ________________________________________ Mallory entered the dayroom towards the kitchen with a pile of dirty plates stacked in her hands, causing heavy steps.  Seeking this opportunity, a bored Calvin Wraith tripped Mallory when she passed by where he was sitting while playing Snake on his phone. Bang! Handless, Mallory fell to the floor, and all of the plates lay scattered across the room. Mrs Wraith heard the tumult, and she stormed into the room angrily. "Stupid girl!" Mrs. Wraith scolded with a hard slap across Mollory's face. With ringing ears and tears burning in her eyes, Mallory took a short breath and tried to keep her voice steady as she pleaded, "I am sorry Mrs. Wraith. I will clean this up immediately," Mallory bowed her head and heard Calvin chuckle from the sofa, sitting with a grin, "Yes, you will. I want the room to be spotless within an hour," Mrs. Wraith demanded, shoved Mallory aside, and stormed out. "Why did you do that?" Asked Mallory with a strained voice and gazed at Calvin after Mrs. Wraith shut the door. Calvin got up and stopped inches away from a frightened Mallory. He styled his hair with too much wax, and his grey eyes were taunting her, making her more fearful of him. "Don't forget your place, slave," Calvin hissed and grabbed Mallory by the neck and pushed her up against the wall next to the window," Or do you want me to come by your room later tonight and punish you?" He whispered in Mallory's ear while she fought to breathe. She shook her head, and Calvin grinned before he freed her again. Mallory falls to the floor, tears streaming down her face.  "Clean yourself up. If my father sees you like this..." Calvin didn't finish the sentence; he didn't have to, and the raised eyebrow said it all before he left the room laughing.

Villainess can have a Happy Ending too

Mallory, a normal girl in her 20, lives a lonely, self-isolated from the world life working from home as an illustrator. One day, after getting a phonecall from her mother, she falls asleep while reading an online novel and somehow wakes up in the body of the novel's secondary villainess – Anastasia Eloise Alberto. The lonely illustrator's life turns upside down overnight. Anastasia was originally not only the younger sister of the 2nd male lead and the youngest member of the Alberto family dukedom, but also the main villainess's best friend! Anastasia helped the main villainess, Henrietta Esmeray Elffire, in bullying the female lead and trying to win over her one sided crush, the male lead, later in the story. Mallory was against Henrietta's evil deeds, but after meeting her she decided – who needs men! I'm gonna help the Villainess forget her one sided love for the male lead! Follow Mallory, or, as of from now, Anastasia in her story of dealing with the unfortunately stereotypical romance plot, fixing the characters and plot holes, trying to put out the fires of family drama, organising her story's missing peaces of true friendship and discovering the new, missing peaces that she couldn't get in her past life with the spice of comedy and romance! But Mallory has to watch out! The typical historical romance story plot goes deeper when you experience it as real than on her phone screen... And where it goes, it could be much darker too.

The dying embers

Mallory was starring at the intimidating figure standing right in front of her. Despite the cold weather and her lack of proper attire she felt hot and breathing was becoming quite the difficult task for her to do. The figure took one more step towards her, his face finally being illuminated by the moon light, he was pissed. His dark hooded eyes swimming with irritation looked at me as he brought one hand to lean on the wall behind me. "The world isn't roses and daisies Mallory" he spit with so much venom I felt my knees tremble. "This isn't a fairytale, this isn't going to turn out to be some happy ever after story where you get to save me." his second hand joined his other one trapping me between the wall and his body. He leaned down so we were face to face. "I chose this path, given the chance to go back and choose again I'll choose the same. I don't need saving, I don't believe in love. Most importantly if forced to choose between you and retaining my title, I'll always choose my title." every word he said felt like a cut to my already bleeding heart he stepped back letting his hands fall to his sides and looked down at me. "So don't expect me to be your prince charming, I'm not interested in fulfilling your childish dreams. My world is black and white, and everything that's white eventually gets tainted with black." he turned towards the door and paused. With one more look towards me he walked out the room and I crumbled to the floor. --------------------
