Revenge on Live TV: The Heiress They Killed Is Back
Ivy · Completed · 135.0k Words
Introduction
For eighteen years, I was the ghost in my own family while my adopted sister was the star. So when the ransom call came and they had to choose which daughter to save, I knew the answer before they spoke.
"Save her," they told the kidnappers, nodding at my sister. Then they turned to me. "She's strong. She can survive."
They were right. I was strong enough to survive the warehouse. Strong enough to disappear. Strong enough to come back.
Now I’m stepping onto the nation’s most-watched reality show, right alongside the people who left me for dead. They’re here to polish their perfect image for the cameras. I’m here to strip it bare—one live scandal at a time.
The problem? The show’s most powerful investor isn't playing their game. He’s a cold, record-breaking F1 champion who shuts down my sister’s tears and backs my play every single time. When my family tries a live ambush, he steps in front of the lens and makes it clear: I’m under his protection.
They called me strong because they thought I was disposable. Strong is the last thing they should have made me.
Chapter 1
Eva Whitlock had been kidnapped. Along with her adopted sister, Ivy Whitlock.
Damn. This place reeked of rust.
The plastic zip tie around her wrists cut in tight, and every breath she took felt like swallowing dust and mold.
Behind her, Ivy was crying.
That dramatic, attention-grabbing kind of sobbing — making sure the whole world could hear just how miserable she was.
God, even in a place like this, she never stopped performing.
But here, nobody was buying it.
A stubble-faced kidnapper spun around. He cursed, lifted his heavy boot, and slammed it hard into Ivy's stomach.
"Shut up! You stupid bitch! One more sound and I'll blow your head off first!"
Then three black SUVs tore into the warehouse like wild animals, tires screaming against the floor, their headlights slashing through the dark.
Eva squinted. Her family was here.
And just like that, hope slithered into her chest like a poisonous snake.
They came. They came to save her.
Figures stepped out from the blinding light.
Adrian Whitlock, her oldest brother — always in a suit, always perfectly put together. He looked like he was heading to a board meeting, not rescuing his sister.
Eleanor Montgomery, her mother, already falling apart, her eyes locked on Ivy. She didn't spare Eva a single glance.
Julian Whitlock, wearing that same smug, nauseating look of superiority, like he was watching a show he'd directed himself.
And Cole Whitlock. His face was white as a ghost. His eyes kept moving back and forth between her and Ivy, loaded with guilt.
Good. The brother who lost her all those years ago had better feel guilty.
She already knew they weren't here for her. They were here for Ivy.
Because Ivy was the one who grew up in the Whitlock family. Not her. They didn't love her. They didn't care about her.
What Eva didn't expect was Liam Thornton — her boyfriend — stepping out of one of the cars.
The look on his face was a kind of fear she'd never seen from him before. Her heart skipped a beat, and her eyes started to burn.
In this godforsaken place, in this godforsaken world, Liam was the only one who actually cared about her.
"What do you want?" Adrian spoke. His voice echoed through the empty warehouse.
"Money!" The kidnapper jerked his gun up, pointing it at Ivy's head, screaming like a man coming apart. "Or nobody leaves! I swear I'll blow both their heads clean off!"
"Put the gun down and name your price." Julian stepped forward, that sickening confidence filling his eyes. "Money's not a problem. It never is. The Whitlocks have more than enough."
"Fifty million dollars!" the kidnapper roared. Greed flickered in his eyes.
"Done." Julian didn't hesitate. "A hundred million if you want. Just let them go. Give me your account number right now."
Silence.
Dead silence.
The kidnapper stared at Julian. Then he looked over this group of suited, tight-faced rich people, and let out a cold laugh.
He pointed his gun at Eva, then swung it toward Ivy.
"Two little princesses." He grinned. "Like something straight out of a fairy tale. Right?"
He smiled wide, showing a mouthful of yellowed teeth. "Now you've got a choice. You can only take one person. The other stays here for me to toy with. I'll let the second one go only after I confirm the money has landed in my account.”"
The air froze.
Eleanor's crying stopped cold. She pressed her hand over her mouth, eyes full of terror — but she was still looking at Ivy. Always Ivy.
"This is insane," Adrian said, trying to take back control. "We're not making that choice."
"Then she dies first!" The kidnapper swung the gun straight at Ivy.
"No!" Eleanor screamed. "No! Not her! Let Ivy go! Please, let her go first! She's just a child!"
Eva let out a cold laugh. The rag stuffed in her mouth turned it into something closer to a whimper.
A child? Ivy was only a year younger than her.
"It's the most logical choice," Julian agreed, his voice smooth as poison. "Ivy — she can't handle something like this. Eva is different."
Eva stopped caring about what they were saying. She looked past all of them, eyes fixed hard on Liam.
Please. Liam. Don't. Don't be like the rest of them.
She recalled the previous night, when she and Liam made love. His fingers glided over her skin, and his lips pressed against her ear while he murmured quietly.
He'd said: "Eva, you're mine. Always."
The weight of his body, his scent, and the feeling as he entered her.
He'd told her she was the center of his world.
So prove it. Prove it right now.
Liam's lips trembled. He looked at Ivy's tear-streaked face, then turned to Eva.
His eyes were full of a painful, twisting struggle.
"Liam—!" Ivy called his name in that voice she always used — the one that could break a man apart.
Cole lurched forward. "We can't just—"
"Cole!" Adrian snapped. "Don't be an idiot!"
Liam closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he wasn't looking at Eva.
He was looking at the kidnapper.
"Let Ivy go." His voice came out rough, barely above a whisper. "Eva is strong. She can get through this."
Strong.
The word hit her like a bullet, straight to the heart.
The world lost all its sound and color in an instant.
Eleanor's screaming, Adrian's orders, the kidnapper's laughter — all of it faded into distant background noise.
All she could see was Liam's mouth moving, forming the word that sealed her fate.
Why the hell do I have to stay strong?
So being strong meant she deserved to be left behind. Being strong meant she deserved to die. Being strong meant she was supposed to step aside for an adopted daughter.
Something cold and unfamiliar rose up inside her, swallowing the fear, swallowing the heartbreak. Rage. The kind that destroys everything in its path.
To hell with all of it.
To hell with Liam.
To hell with every single one of the Whitlocks.
Eva stopped looking at them. She started twisting her wrists hard, dragging the zip tie against the sharp edge of a rusted metal beam behind her.
She was getting out herself. She was escaping on her own. And if she made it out of this place alive, she was going to make every last one of them pay.
Maybe her movements were too obvious. Whatever the reason, the situation snapped out of control.
The kidnapper whipped around like a bull that had been pushed too far. "Where the hell do you think you're going, you little bitch?!"
He screamed, and time seemed to slow down.
Eva watched him raise the gun. Watched him pull the trigger.
A blast tore through the warehouse.
A searing, burning pain ripped through her stomach — like a red-hot iron pressed hard against her skin.
She looked down. Blood was spreading fast across her dark T-shirt.
The strength drained out of her all at once, and Eva fell backward.

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface. When Dante is poisoned by a rival syndicate with a deadly toxin no doctor can cure, he offers a fortune for anyone who can save him.
Only Camille can. Their deal is simple: she becomes his personal physician, and he gives her anything she wants.
The Legacy Game
When scholarship student Chris Linds stumbles onto a mystery someone has killed to protect, she becomes the next target. The only person standing between her and death is Ashen Ford, the academy's cold, untouchable Student Council President—and heir to one of Corvain's founding families.
As anonymous invitations summon twelve students into the legendary Legacy Game, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and every challenge brings another deadly truth to light. But the greatest secret isn't who will win.
It's why one winner vanished without a trace... and why someone will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

Mated To My Nemesis

Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.

Seen.
Chosen.
