Price Of Pryce
(The Queen And The Freak Sequel, BUT... Can be read in your comfort.)
***
The hybrid mates, Blair and Pryce, have just woken up from sleeping and are surprised to know that thirty years have passed since the last time they were awake.
Things were about to change in their lives as they had to cope with the things in the new era. Old-looking old friends and new people to meet, new ways of living, new schools, new status, new powers, new roles, new problems, and new almost everything.
How can they survive if their new lives are about to be destroyed by old enemies?
Price of Betrayal
On the highway, a chain-reaction crash happened out of nowhere. I was left with a fractured skull, barely hanging on.
When my husband—who's a well-known respiratory specialist—showed up, he didn't even look at me. He rushed past, straight to his first love. She had nothing more than a scrape on her arm.
I tried to call out for help, but he just turned and looked at me like I was being dramatic. "You're fine. Don't act like you're so fragile," he snapped, brushing me off like my pain didn't matter.
At the hospital, things only got worse. He used his position to get every bit of attention, monopolizing the medical staff, and as my supposed sole family member, he signed the papers to abandon my treatment.
"It's just a fractured skull," he said, sounding totally calm. "Save the woman in my arms first. She's a renowned painter. She's more important."
As I started to lose consciousness, his muttered words cut through the fog, "You're better off dead. We don't want anyone knowing about Leona's drunk driving."

"My boyfriend and I are a perfect match. How dare you bring your illegitimate son here to challenge me!"
She pins me to the floor as she pummels and harms me. She even screeches, "A slut like you will only stop going around seducing others once you're incapable of it!"
I'm bruised, battered, and bleeding as I'm wheeled into the emergency room. My elder son handles the operation.
His hand trembles as he clutches his scalpel, and he looks ashen. "Who did this to you, Mom?"
The Price of Vengeance
K.K.S.
I was a famed assassin. She knew my name. Everyone did.
Feral. Death's very own hound.
But she was the one that'd left our hut in the dead of night. And I wasn't one to forget something like that.
I'd gone looking for her when she left things the way she did. She was nowhere to be found then.
Yet here she is now. Standing in my tavern. With her cloak in a pile around her ankles and offering me her body in plain view of every rogue in here.
Bold move. But she was nothing if not that.
She thought I'd give in and said yes to this venture to rescue someone she loved because of some misplaced honor. Not in the least!
I said yes because I intend to wreak vengeance on her, for what she did to me.
Every chance I get, I'm going to make her miserable. And I'm going to take great pleasure in doing so.
Welcome to my world Warrioress. Where the price of vengeance comes much higher than a bit o' coin.

The Price of Separation
For five years, I thought our marriage was solid. Then, my husband, Lionel Franco’s first love, Sandra Howard, posted a photo of a property deed on her social media.
The caption read: [Thank you, Lionel, for transferring the house to me.]
I stared in disbelief and left a single comment: [WTF?]
Lionel called within minutes.
“She’s a struggling single mother. Transferring the house to her makes it easier for her son to get into school. It doesn’t affect where we live,” he snapped.
“How can you be so lacking in compassion?”
In the background, I heard her muffled sobs.
Half an hour later, she tagged me in another post.
This time, she flaunted her Mercedes worth over a million dollars, with the caption: [Paid in full. As the saying goes, ‘Where a man spends his money, that's where his heart is’.]
I knew he bought it to soothe her temper.
But this time, I had enough. I decided to divorce him.

Bruises.
That’s all Louis has ever known.
At twenty-seven, you’d think he’d have escaped the violent grip of his abusive father—but breaking free from the man who raised you, no matter how monstrous, is never simple. Life has never gone easy on Louis, and now, he carries a secret that’ll finally get him killed by his father: his sexuality.
He hides it, suffocates it, tries to erase it—but it never leaves him.
All he needs is a savior. Someone to pull him from the dark hole he’s sinking in. But hope has never been more than a cruel fantasy—and he’s long since stopped believing in rescue.
Then comes Elias Montgomery.
The most feared and ruthless Don in the Midwest.
Silent. Disciplined. Calculating. And utterly alone.
No one dares cross Elias. He keeps his enemies close, and the traitors? Six feet under.
Love has never been part of the equation, not after what happened the last time.
So, what happens when, against all odds, Elias crosses paths with Louis?
Will he bury the tension—and the dangerous spark between them—for the sake of his image and empire.
Or will he risk it all for a boy who’s known nothing but pain?

The Price of Abandonment
My husband and I go on a road trip back to my hometown before Christmas. I want to ride shotgun, but he chases me to the backseat so his female colleague can sit in front.
He says, "Isabel gets carsick easily. You are my wife, so you should be more considerate of her."
He seems to have forgotten that I'm pregnant—my morning sickness is at its peak. Halfway through the journey, he and Isabel Slater start smoking. They make me throw up.
The smell disgusts them, and my husband wants to teach me a lesson. He and Isabel leave me at the rest stop.
Unbeknownst to them, my family is already waiting there. This time, I'm going back with them and getting an abortion and divorce.
Later, my husband is filled with regret when he learns the child is gone.
The Price of My Placenta
My husband's beloved lover suffered from menstruation complications. A traveling doctor claimed that a fresh placenta was needed to cure her.
His gaze fixated on my seven-months-pregnant baby bump.
And thus, I was pinned down on the bed as they ripped the placenta from my body.
My son was carelessly tossed aside. He didn't even get the chance to cry before his tiny body fell silent forever.
My husband pinched his nose in disgust, frowning as he looked at me—bleeding out, feebly reaching for my child.
“It’s just a premature baby. He'll be fine after a few days of care. Why are you making such a fuss? Sandra is waiting for her medicine."
He left and locked the door behind him without looking back. He claimed it was a lesson I needed to learn.
By the time he finally remembered us, my son and I had long since bled dry, our bodies cold and stiff.
True Love's Price
My fiancé’s first love and I fell down the stairs at the same time, and he chose to save her instead, leaving me to lie there in a pool of blood as I waited for an ambulance.
On the brink of death, I begged him not to abandon me, and he only kicked my hand away, saying, “Elodie, can’t you show a little kindness? Don’t you see that Celeste is unconscious?!
“…I’ll make sure you pay for this later!”
‘Later’, as he put it, didn’t come to pass. As he left with his first love in his arms, I died along with the baby inside my womb.
The Price of a Like
My roommate had a peculiar knack for pestering everyone into liking her posts on social media, all so she could collect enough likes to claim some prize or another. It was her way of life—nagging, nudging, and guilting us into clicking that little thumbs-up.
One time, the campus beauty queen liked my roommate's ad for a facial mask. Not long after, she was in a horrific car accident. The vehicle caught fire, and her face suffered severe burns, leaving her disfigured beyond recognition. Meanwhile, my roommate seemed to undergo a miraculous transformation, her complexion turning porcelain fair and flawless as though she'd been kissed by the heavens.
Then there was the academic prodigy, a shoe-in for graduate school, who liked her tutoring service post. Shortly after, he was exposed for academic fraud, and his once-brilliant reputation was reduced to ashes. Strangely enough, my roommate's research paper suddenly won an award, catapulting her to fame and fortune.
And me? I fell into her trap too. I liked her rental agency ad, and before I knew it, my world crumbled. A scandal erupted, revealing that I was the result of a mix-up at birth. It turned out she was the long-lost child of wealth and privilege—a hidden gem cast into the rough, now reclaimed by her rightful family. As for me, I was packed off to the countryside village she had escaped from and forced into a brutal marriage with an old man. My life became a living hell, and eventually, I died there, broken and forgotten.
But fate wasn't done with me yet. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day my roommate begged me to like her post in exchange for yet another prize.
