2026 WATTY AWARDS SHORTLIST🏆 Selene Moreau was never just a wife. She was the architect. While the world saw a graceful First Lady, she was the one writing the speeches, managing the donors, and making Alexander Moreau untouchable. She built him from raw ambition into the most powerful man in the country. Then he decided he didn't need her anymore. When the mistress surfaces and the scandal breaks and the man she made tries to erase her from the story, Selene doesn't defend herself. She moves through Washington's corridors, its private clubs and the carefully maintained silences between powerful men. She turns what she knows into leverage. And she knows everything. But a dangerous billionaire has been watching her longer than she realizes. A rival is waiting for the right moment. And Camille Durand is not the simple threat she appeared to be. Every player in this city has a game. Selene is the only one playing for the end.

They were everything to each other - until five years of silence turned them into strangers. Kylie was the loud one. Confident, bold, always the center of attention - the kind of girl who didn't just light up a room, she owned it. Malia was the rule-follower. Straight-A student, student council darling, a walking checklist with perfect grades and perfect posture. They grew up side by side. Two halves of a whole. Sleepovers, matching bracelets, secrets whispered under blankets. Until something happened. Until everything changed. Until they stopped talking - and didn't speak for five years. Now? They've been assigned to plan prom together. Just their luck. Worse: it's a full-blown Disney-themed prom, glitter and drama included. They can't stand each other. They don't trust each other. And yet... The more time they spend together, the more the past creeps in. The glances. The tension. The memories. The what-ifs. Because maybe, just maybe... Their friendship was never just friendship. And maybe first love is the kind you didn't see coming - until it's standing right in front of you with a clipboard, a prom playlist, and a broken heart.

Lana Grace is 24 years old, stuck between a relationship that no longer feels like love and a life that no longer feels like hers. What once felt beautiful started to feel suffocating. The longer her relationship lasts, the worse it gets: distance, forced reassurance, and the exhausting effort to be the perfect version of herself. Somewhere along the way, Lana stopped being loved for who she is: emotional, outgoing, affectionate, a girl who romanticises life and fills notebooks with poetry nobody appreciates enough. But when Lana finally gets the opportunity she's been waiting for, a job at Moretti & Co. Publishing, everything changes. That means Alessia Moretti. Alessia is 33 years old, impossibly composed, and unreadable. She is the billionaire CEO of one of the world's most respected publishing companies. She's elegant, disciplined, and painfully closed off. After spending five years trapped in a marriage arranged for business, Alessia finally reclaimed her freedom when her father died. But not for love. Never for that. Love, to Alessia, is nothing more than a liability. So she buries herself in work, expensive wine and poetry that feels safer than her feelings. To Alessia, Lana should be easy to dismiss. Instead, she becomes impossible to stop thinking about. Alessia and Lana have met before. Twice. Brief enough that it should've meant nothing. But when Alessia approaches Lana again, it's different. Their connection should begin and end at work. Alessia is Lana's new boss and completely out of reach in every possible way. But through mutual friends, late nights at work, trips, and accidental moments of vulnerability, the distance between them slowly disappears. The more Lana sees past Alessia's walls, she realises the woman everyone calls cold has never been loved gently before. And when something happens, the line between fear and love becomes impossible to ignore. Some people are misunderstood. Others are simply misread.

"So you're the new student", she said with a cold tone. Her tongue slid over her red lipstick, before she glanced down at me. Immediately I catched myself feeling submissive. "Uhm yeah Iam Y/N Y/L/N", I answered trying not to give in her blue eyes. They were so pretty. -------------------------------------- Y/N finally experiences the kind of love she's only ever dreamed of-the kind that pulls her from the darkness of an abusive past and into the arms of someone who seems to cherish her, protect her, and show her what real love is supposed to be. But is it truly love, or just another kind of cage? Is their tenderness genuine, or is it merely the mask of something far more possessive, far more consuming? As she falls deeper, she must ask herself: has she been saved, or has she only stepped into a different kind of trap? Teacher Taylor Swift X Reader the first one got deleted, so Iam writing a new story:) This story contains also Travis Kelce:)
