Introduction

Tripartite Love, Love Triangle

A situation whereby two guys fell in love with the same girl.

Love between Blood

Love between the rich and the poor

Then there's also WHS;

Wearous High School - From the name, WEAROUS..you should already know that it's an high school that welcomes mostly students from wealthy homes.

If you not rich or if you've got no connection or relationship with someone who's prosperous but you still prefer to attend that school, you'ld have no or few friends and of course; so many haters because, you would be disliked for no specific reason.

So in this school and it entire environment, the poor relates with the poor and the wealthy ones relates with their kinds.

Chapter 1

EPISODE 1 : First, Meet Kyle and Audrey

        KYLE'S POV (A poor guy)

I sang whole-heartedly..

It is what i love the most,

what i almost cannot do without,

the only thing that gives me Joy..

Music.

MUSIC:

🎶The moment I met you for the very first time🎵

🎶I remember that I'm out of breath

🎵Maybe you've heard it and still remember the day I was upset 🎶

🎶I really like it when I hear your voice

🎵But I like it better when we walk together

🎶Yeah, there was a time, 🎵 there was a day when I loved you with all my heart.

🎵You are my first love everytime

🎶I'll wait for you untill the spring snow comes

🎵I thought I was drunk that night 'cos my heart was really strange and the wind blew.

🎵That night I was so sad and stumbled.

🎶You are my first love everytime

🎶Sometimes I feel like love is lonely and my life is always hard.

🎶I knew it from the day we spent together, that; 🎵 there was a day I loved you with all my heart...

"Careless woman! " I heard my Dad yelled at my Mom.

Oh! Not again.

Despite the fact that I was so engrossed with my music, they succeeded in interrupting me and making me miss a line.

I sang as if I were in love with someone but I wasn't, yet the title of song - my first song is 'First love'

"Bring it on! I'm prepared for you! " My Mom yelled back at him.

Arrrgh! I stood up, walked to my door and slammed it. It's gonna reduce their noise at least.

(Poor girl)

        AUDREY's POV

"Surprise!!" My Mom exclaimed as she untied the piece of cloth which she used to cover my face - my eyes precisely.

"Where are we mommy? " I asked, surprised..

Staring at the beautiful environment...The sitting room.

"Mo..mom" I muttered.

"Yes baby" She replied smiling.

"This is our new home"

"Mom, don't tell me you used the loan you received to buy this expensive house? " I asked in a grouse.

"C'mon Audrey, it's the smallest building in Wearous Estate" My mom stated.

"Wearous Estate? " I exclaimed almost in a scream then I rushed to a window nearby to check through it.

Afar, I saw a bill board ' WEAROUS' was scrawled on it.

I don't want to believe that my mom bought a house here in Wearous Estate of all Estates?

"Mom, how are we gonna cope? We don't belong to this environment" I whined.

"How do you mean? What do you mean by we don't belong to this environment?"

"Everyone here is rich, I mean extremely wealthy" I continued to complain.

"Audrey, I trained you really well, have you stopped believing that there is nothing impossible?" Mom said obviously fed up of my complaints already.

"I know Mom, I'm simply saying you should have just bought a small house in a less standard estate. OK this is the smallest house here right but I'm pretty sure it is fvcking expensive. Later or even sooner, the bank managers would start running to you for their money. Think about it mom, how do you intend to pay them? how are we gonna pay them? " I grumbled; folding my hands.

I don't know what's wrong with mom..

We've been living a small but comfortable life with her friend, Bridget but she got married a week away. Now we have no choice rather than to find our own house and live our own life.

She pleaded for a loan which was reluctantly given to her. I expected her to get one mini-home on a low-key but she bought this small house which I could still classify to as 'Expensive' because of it location. It's an estate for the Rich.

Wearous - WEAlthy and prospeROUS. 

Ugh!

"It would take centuries before I'll find someone who is wealthless like me that's even if there is one here" I said.

"How many times do I have to tell you never to look down on your self, never to see you yourself as a poor girl..? Your father is very rich. Why are you making it seems like it's wrong for us to live among the rich?"

My Mom is single and I cherish her more than anything else in this world.

How could Dad be so heartless to abandon my mom after putting her in a motherly state? Huh, did I just call him Dad? Never ! I have no father..Such an heartless man is not worthy to be called a father.

Mom told me it was her fault anyway.

She did what teenage girls do.

Because he was swimming in money, she clinged around him then later fell in love with him but she fell in love with his money first.

She did everything to make him believe that she loves him to the moon.

When she found out that she was pregnant for him, she called his numbers and told him she had a baby in her womb for him.. He hung up the call, she tried to call him again but his phone was turned off.

When she tried visiting him, she was told that he and his families already travelled to Italy and they aren't gonna return anytime soon but they never returned.

That was how I came into existence, a rich girl with no father.

"It's wrong mom, it is"

"I just broke the first news to you and you are grumbling. What if I say the other one? " Mom said.

What?

"And what is it? "

"I registered you at Wearous High School" My mom proclaimed.

I was shocked..

Why Mom?

"You'll be resuming tomorrow, I've got you the uniforms and everything you would need to look like a student of Wearous school"

"WHS is meant for wealthy students from wealthy homes" I told her

"You are rich girl remember?" My Mom said.

I scoffed, Yeah a poor rich girl.

She calls me a rich girl because I have a wealthy father who is absolutely anonymous to me.

"Aren't you the one always telling me to be myself and never to emulate what other people do? " I asked adamantly.

"Listen Audrey, I know the school is well-popular for being prosperous and filled with wealthy students. Don't make it uneasy for us, if it is about the money...you don't need to worry about it b'cos I've gotten you an after school Job, it's not too far from Wearous High School"

"Oh Mom, you are doing so many things without my consent" I sniveled then intentionally fell flat on a couch.- It was... comfortable.

"I know you don't want it, that's why I did all these things without informing you first" My Mom said.

"And what if..?" I paused "What if I reject it all, I mean I refuse to go to WHS, I refuse to take a part-time job or even refuse to stay in this house and it Environment" I said and saw a rising unhappy-and-angry look on her face.

"You won't want to make me sad right? " Mom said already looking despondent.

"I love you mom, sincerely I do. I don't want you to spend or go through too much" I briefly explained.

"But I'm not complaining "

"Ok fine! I'll do what you want, I'll act like I'm one of the rich girls from a rich home when I get to thw school" I said sarcastically and mom heaved a sigh of relief 'cos the long argument as finally come to an end.

"Where is the kitchen, I'll go make dinner" I said then stood up.

Making Mom happy is what I want the most and nothing more.

I swear, I hate my husband.

At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her.

He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.

He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé.
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.

They say your life can change in a heartbeat.
Mine changed in the time it took to open a door.
Behind it: my fiancé Nicholas with another woman.
Three months until our wedding. Three seconds to watch it all burn.
I should have run. Should have screamed. Should have done anything except stand there like a fool.
Instead, I heard the devil himself whisper in my ear:
"If you're willing, I could marry you."
Daniel. The brother I was warned about. The one who made Nicholas look like a choir boy.
He leaned against the wall, watching my world implode.
My pulse thundered. "What?"
"You heard me." His eyes burned into mine. "Marry me, Emma."
But as I stared into those magnetic eyes, I realized something terrifying:
I wanted to say yes to him.
Game on.
