Y/n instantly agreed for the sake of their grieving father.

After a heartbreak, you and your best friend, Katrina were out at bars for the weekend when you notice a film set. Curious and tipsy, you two stumble over to the director who was in search of willing extras. Eager, you two sign the paperwork. Your role was to casually walk past the main couple, Karla and Augustus, whoโs were having a romantic moment, while having a conversation with Katrina. As you walk, the Augustus keeps looking away from his co-star and watching you walk by, which made the director believe the moment wasnโt as intimate as it should be. You had to go through several takes before the director just told you to stand in the place where his co-star was and that theyโd cut you out during the editing portion of the film. Augustus seems shy about it, but he manages to do a wonderful performance with you by his side, the best of his career.
Once upon a time, Grayson and y/n used to be friends. When Grayson moved to London, y/n had also just moved to LA, making them both the new kids. The shared lack of friends brought them together and made him and y/n best friends. They became practically inseparable and even started dating for a bit. Eventually Grayson and y/n had gotten into an argument about going to different colleges and ended up breaking up before she moved away for college. Eventually, things didnโt work out so she moved back to LA during her second year of college. When she came back, she became reacquainted with her other friends, who invited her to a frat party as a welcome back party. She reluctantly agreed and went out in a scandalous little black dress. After some dancing, she heads to get a drink. When she walks into the kitchen, she sees Grayson. He was standing in between the legs of a blonde woman who was sitting on the counter. His fingers were curled in the woman hair, the other high up on her thigh as he messily kissed the womanโs neck. He looked up momentarily and locked eyes with y/n. A flicker of something almost like a mix of confusion and disdain crossed over his face. It quickly is replaced with indifference as he continues kissing down the girls body. Y/n walks away.
Y/n was in limerence. She was eternally infatuated with Oliver Blanch. Who wouldnโt be? He was sexy. He was rich. He wasnโt just a man, but the man men aspired to be. If only he were hers. Sheโd do right by him. Keep him happy. Make him feel good. No one would love him like y/n. But heโll never know because sheโll never get the chance. Stacy Dubois. He said her name like he was Edgar Allen Poe and she was his muse. Her voice, soft and sweet like a perfume that lingered in the air for a moment too long. Y/n would find golden hairs around his office because he used to brush her hair. He was too far gone for Stacy. Y/n hated it. The way his face and voice softened when she was near. The way heโd kiss her palm like no one was watching. The way heโd bite his lip as heโd watch her walk away. It was the love and attention y/n deserved from him. But she never got it. Besides, who picks the PR agent when the personal assistant is right there?
In a luxury London apartment building, world-famous yet notoriously arrogant British boxing champion Grayson Blackwood meets Y/n for the first time under tense circumstances. With a reputation as cold and untouchable, Grayson dismisses everyone โ until Y/n, moving in with her wealthy but unkind boyfriend, refuses to be impressed or intimidated. Their first encounter sparks immediate friction, setting the stage for a slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance where old defenses are challenged, and unexp
Y/n has spent years loving her husband. Everything was perfect. He was loving, doting, and every part the perfect husband. But when he met Sofia, everything turned upside down. It started with dates turning to dinner meet ups with her. Then him making time for her instead of y/n. Then, he moved her in. Y/n started waking up to empty beds and Sofia in her lingerie. She knew she should leave. But when you have the kind of love she had with her husband? You canโt. It haunts you forever, lingering like a headache that doesnโt go away. It got to the point that y/n became the laughing stock of other mafia families. At a gala, Sofia framed y/n again. But this time for something far too extreme. This resulted in her husband making a fool of her in front of everyone. Thatโs when Oliviero stepped outside and made her a deal she couldnโt refuse. โCheat on your husband with me. In return, Iโll give you a million dollars.โ
Y/n is just trying to get by. Sheโs a waitress making just over minimum wage and trying to pay bills and survive. Having just had moved to a new apartment was hard enough. The fact that it was shitty doesnโt help. Leaks in the roof, random power outages, and horrific smells drove you to your limit. Little did she know what this place really was. Fed up and sick of the bullshit, you marched to your landlords office. Empty. Of course. You searched everywhere for him. You asked several tenants looking for him until one finally points you out back by the dumpster. After a short furious walk, you made it to the dumpster. As you looked up, you saw your landlord. With his gun pressed to a manโs head.
Y/nโs relationship with Eric started out perfect. So when he proposed, of course her answer was a yes. While you two were engaged, Eric made a breakthrough in his career, leading to higher promotions and a higher income. While this was happening, Ericโs highschool sweetheart, Ivy, came back into his life. She quickly and effectively seduced him and convinced him to let her live with him. After that, Eric changes drastically. All his attention was on Ivy. He slept with her while y/n was just rooms away, told y/n she was being dramatic whenever he got handsy with Ivy in public, and in general just mistreated y/n. One night, Eric invited his boss, Oliver over for dinner. Oliver arrived and when his eyes fell on y/n he was enamored and fell into a state of limerence. He was kinder to her than Eric had been in years. He acknowledged her, respected her, and treated her like a queen. Now, he comes over for dinner more often. Eric thinks itโs because heโs growing fond of him and wants to give him a raise, while in reality, itโs to see y/n.
