The Valemonts are the definition of old money power — wealthy, influential, and untouchable in the eyes of the public. But behind the gates of their lavish estate lies a family built on secrets, control, and violence. Y/N Valemont, the second youngest daughter of the dynasty, has spent her life surrounded by privilege while struggling against the expectations forced onto her family name. Fierce, emotionally guarded, and trained to defend herself from a young age, she is far from the perfect daughter society expects her to be. When dangerous ties between the Valemont family and the criminal underworld begin resurfacing, Y/N finds herself pulled into a world of bloodshed, betrayal, and power struggles far darker than she imagined. Everything becomes even more complicated after meeting Cassian Moretti — a cold, dangerously intelligent mobster whose presence in her life feels less like coincidence and more like the beginning of a disaster. As tension between powerful families escalates and violence creeps closer to home, Y/N is forced to confront the kind of person she’s capable of becoming when the people she loves are threatened. In a world where nobody is innocent and grief can turn into obsession overnight, revenge may be the only thing powerful enough to survive.
In the high-stakes world of Washington politics, nothing is ever simple—and nothing stays hidden for long. As election night unfolds in the capital, Y/N stands on the edge of history, waiting for the results that will determine whether she becomes the next President of the United States or watches everything she built collapse in real time. Surrounded by political power players, trusted advisors, former leaders, and hidden agendas, Y/N must navigate a system where loyalty is fragile, secrets are currency, and every alliance has a cost. In a world shaped by manipulation, intelligence operations, and political warfare, the truth is never just the truth—it’s a weapon. Set in an alternate political universe inspired by Scandal, this story follows Y/N’s rise into the highest office in the country, where the real battle doesn’t end with winning the election… it begins there. Because in Washington, power isn’t given. It’s survived.
When Y/N returns to El Paso after nearly a decade away, she expects nothing more than a temporary stop in a place that no longer feels like hers. Sent to Beverly Hills at eight after her parents’ divorce, she left behind everything that once defined her childhood—her friends, her family ties, and the boy she never got to say goodbye to. Now, at seventeen, she’s back to finish her senior year in the same town that once raised her… only to find it has moved on without her. Old friendships have shifted into distance and resentment. Familiar faces no longer feel familiar. And her return doesn’t go unnoticed—especially not by the people who remember her differently than she remembers herself. In a town where history never stays buried for long, coming home might be the hardest thing she’s ever done.
