Years have passed, people are changing but sometimes you cannot accept their new version
She was there laying in the bed, thinking about the past. Years ago she was just a young, naive girl, trying to stay away from trouble and to make her dad proud. After her mom left, when she was two, her dad made her responsible for everything that he feels and his whole life. While he did everything for her he expected her to be everything he couldn't.
He married for her, so that she had a mom. When her brother was born, she became his second mom.
She could not complain. Life was not too good nor was it too bad.
Yesterday she saw him. He used to be a geek, she felt for him when she was 15, he was the smartest in every room.
Lying in her apartment, the soft hum of the city outside was a constant companion. The space was modest but distinctly hers, decorated with remnants of her past and hopes for the future. Being alone had given her the freedom to find herself, but it had also amplified the echoes of her past betrayals.
At 26, she had managed to put a certain distance between her present and the time she lived with her family. Her father, stepmom, and brother were now a city away, but they remained close, their bond unchanged. The occasional call, the family updates, and the shared memories ensured they were never really that far apart. She had left her family home to chase her dreams, and in the pursuit of those dreams, she'd met people - some genuine and others deceitful. Over time, her inherently trusting nature had been taken advantage of more times than she cared to admit. She had been betrayed by those she believed in, colleagues who wore masks of friendship, and relationships that promised love but delivered pain.
These scars had made her cautious, even cynical.
So when she saw his message, her heart skipped a beat. The boy from high school, the geek she'd shared secrets with, was now a man of the world, a CEO with success stories she'd only briefly caught in social media headlines. His text read, "Hey, long time! Fancy a coffee tomorrow?"
The idea of meeting him brought back a rush of old feelings and a whirlwind of memories from a simpler time. But it also came with apprehension. Would he be another person with hidden motives? Or would this be a genuine reconnection, a chance to find an ally in a world that seemed increasingly deceptive?
After a moment's hesitation, she replied, "Let's catch up. Tomorrow works." Their upcoming meeting would be more than just a reunion. It would be a dive into unresolved emotions, personal evolutions, and the complexities of adulthood. The next chapter in their lives would be written with every word they exchanged, every look they shared, and every decision they made together.
Sandra Hill, the long-lost real heiress of the Hill family, was shunned by her own kin. Instead of embracing her, they bestowed their affection upon an impostor.

With her incredible medical skills, she defied the odds and revived him. Little did she expect that her husband spoiled her with all his love... A medical genius, a computer prodigy, a national treasure in painting, and a racing legend... Her husband revealed her various identities, leaving the Hill family regretful. Her father came pleading, "It's Dad's fault. Please come back." Her mother wept, "Mom will protect you from now on. Please come back." Even her five brothers knelt before he, begging for forgiveness. Yet, Sandra's smile held a hint of mockery as she vowed, “Never!”
Rumors claimed that Fernanda, newly back with her family, was nothing more than a violent country bumpkin. Fernanda just flashed a casual, dismissive grin in response. Another rumor suggested that the usually rational Cristian had lost all sense, madly in love with Fernanda. This frustrated her.

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
