Velvet Control

marylouisescott
Nicole “Nikki” Ritter is the kind of woman people whisper about in boardrooms and fear in elevators. As the ruthless CEO of a rising corporate empire, she has built her reputation on precision, manipulation, and an unshakable hunger for power. In a world dominated by ambition and deception, Nikki has mastered the art of control — over companies, over reputations… and over hearts. Behind her polished image, she is secretly entangled with two men who unknowingly serve her greater plan. Toby Benson is young, ambitious, and dangerously eager to impress her, feeding her confidential details about the company she intends to destroy. Chase Parker, older and far more perceptive, senses the shadows behind her charm yet finds himself drawn into a passion he cannot resist. To Nikki, they are simply strategic moves in a game she has always won. Until the night everything changes. A single mistake — a message sent at the wrong time — exposes the truth and shatters the illusion she has carefully crafted. Betrayal ignites obsession, desire turns into revenge, and the lines between love and control begin to blur. As corporate wars intensify and emotions spiral beyond calculation, Nikki discovers that even the most powerful woman can lose control when hearts are no longer willing to play by her rules. With ambition, seduction, and psychological tension colliding in a high-stakes battle for dominance, Velvet Control is a gripping tale of passion, manipulation, and the dangerous price of winning. In a world where power is everything… Who will fall first — the men she used, or the woman who thought she was untouchable?

My Rizz System

​[THIS IS THE SYSTEM NOVEL YOU’VE BEEN WAITING FOR.] ​Leo Vance was a "Zero." A "Negative Rizz" ghost who spent his life in the back of the lecture hall, invisible to the campus Queens and a punching bag for the elites. ​Then, the world flickered, and the Gold HUD appeared. ​Guided by Seraphina, a sentient AI with a razor-sharp tongue, Leo’s life has become a high-stakes game. It started with "silly" dating quests and skill checks—turning awkward smiles into Lethal Charm and "nerd" status into Divine Aura. But the campus was just the tutorial. ​Leo has discovered the truth: The world is a Pantheon of Systems, and every "Legendary" hero you’ve ever read about is a player in a rigged game. ​From the "Infinite Grinders" who farm stats for a thousand chapters to the "Tycoon Heirs" who pay-to-win their way to the top—Leo is here to call them out. His Sovereign Pulse doesn't follow their rules. It doesn't grind. It doesn't negotiate. It Dominates. ​[AURA LEVEL: SOVEREIGN.] ​[CHARM: ABSOLUTE.] ​[STATUS: THE TROPE-SLAYER.] ​In the Apex Coliseum, Leo isn't just playing for the hearts of the campus Queens. He’s stepping into the sand to prove that "Stats" are a lie and "Levels" are just cages. From the Dojo to the Sanguine Royal Boxes, the message is clear: ​The old systems are broken. The "Gods" are just bugs in the code. And Leo Vance is the Patch. ​[DATING IS A QUEST. COMBAT IS AN AUDIT. THE PULSE HAS ARRIVED.]
