The Cheap 4C
Chapter 1
Emma Cole, eine Außenseiterin in der High School und während ihrer gesamten Zeit am Community College unberührt, wurde von ihren leiblichen Eltern verlassen und wuchs in Pflegefamilien in ganz New York auf. Wann immer ihr Name erwähnt wurde, lachten die Leute, die sie kannten, und nannten sie üble Namen, da sie wie die weibliche Version von Steve Urkel aussah und leicht zu hänseln und zu erniedrigen war. Sie hatte keinen Sinn für Mode. Alles, was sie trug, waren große Kleider, die ihre zierliche Figur verbargen, und Brillen, die ihren Augen keinen Gefallen taten. Sie besaß nur eine Tasche – eine abgenutzte Lederhandtasche, die sie als Geschenk von einem Buchstabierwettbewerb in ihrem ersten Jahr an der High School erhalten hatte.
Obwohl sie zur Schule ging, hatte sie keine Freunde, keine Familie und niemanden, der ihr beibrachte, wie man eine Dame wird. Emma hatte alles alleine gemacht, seit sie ein Jahr alt war – das Alter, in dem ihre Eltern sie ins Pflegesystem abgeschoben hatten.
Mit dreiundzwanzig lebte sie allein in einer sehr kleinen Wohnung. Sie konnte sich noch keinen gut bezahlten Job leisten, um ein schönes Haus zu finanzieren. Jedes Mal, wenn sie sich auf eine freie Stelle bewarb, die sie vielleicht in einer Zeitung im Café gesehen hatte, lehnten sie sie ab, sobald die Interviewer sie sahen. Das Aussehen zählte mehr als ihre Qualifikationen, wenn sie einen Job als Empfangsdame oder persönliche Assistentin in einer der großen Firmen in New York City bekommen wollte.
Emma beschloss, nicht mehr auf einen besseren Job zu hoffen und blieb als Kellnerin im Carl's Café.
Ihr persönliches Höllenloch.
Carl war der Manager und Besitzer des Cafés. Ein erwachsener Mann, fünfundvierzig Jahre alt, der all die Dinge erlebt hatte, denen er in seinem erbärmlichen Leben nachgejagt war. Er war ein schrecklicher Chef und behandelte seine Angestellten wie seine persönlichen Sklaven mit niedrigen Löhnen. Eine seiner widerlichen Angewohnheiten war es, seine weiblichen Angestellten während der Arbeit anzumachen, aber Emma ließ er in Ruhe. Obwohl sie eine Frau war, entsprach sie einfach nicht seinem Typ und war zu unattraktiv, um sich mit ihr zu beschäftigen.
Es war Mittwochmorgen.
Emma hatte gerade erst eingestempelt. Sie legte ihre Tasche in ihren zugewiesenen Spind und begann, die Bestellungen der Kunden aufzunehmen, die bereits zahlreich für ihren Morgenkaffee oder Pfannkuchen und Eier oder andere Frühstücksgerichte ihrer Wahl aus den bereitgestellten Menüs da waren.
Sie war gerade dabei, die Bestellungen in die Küche zu bringen, als ein Paar Hände sie am Arm packte.
"Du musst heute eine Doppelschicht arbeiten. Tisha ist krank. Ich brauche dich als Ersatz." Und schon war er nach seinem Befehl wieder verschwunden.
Emma ging weiter in die Küche, um die Bestellungen der Kunden abzugeben. Da Tisha krank war, musste sie deren Platz an der Kasse und den Kaffeemaschinen einnehmen. Sie würde einen weiteren schrecklichen Tag in der Hölle haben, aber Carls Befehl gehorchend, arbeitete sie die Doppelschicht ohne zu klagen.
Am Donnerstag passierte dasselbe – sie arbeitete eine Doppelschicht, ohne dafür etwas extra zu bekommen. Und am Freitag wiederholte sich das Ganze.
~~
Emma war erschöpft, aber endlich war Samstag, und es war ihr freier Tag. Sie beschloss, eine Bibliothek zu besuchen und mehrere Bücher mit in den Park zu nehmen, um zu lesen. Es war der Beginn des Sommers, und sie brauchte die frische Luft.
Sie war gerade aus ihrem engen Badezimmer getreten, als ihr billiges Handy, das immer noch erhabene Tasten hatte und sich nicht mit dem WLAN verbinden konnte, klingelte.
"Emma, ich brauche dich sofort hier. Sei in weniger als zwanzig Minuten da!"
Bevor sie widersprechen konnte, hatte er aufgelegt. Sie hatte wirklich auf etwas Freizeit für sich selbst gehofft, und abgesehen davon war sie erschöpft, aber sie musste gehorchen. Wie sollte sie sich ihre miese Wohnung leisten, wenn sie arbeitslos war?
Sie ließ sich Zeit beim Fertigmachen und kam eine Stunde später an, als Carl es verlangt hatte. Er war wütend auf sie und schrie sie an, sobald sie einstempelte.
"Ich habe dir gesagt, du sollst in weniger als zwanzig Minuten hier sein, du abgemagertes Ding!"
Tatsächlich wirkte Emma Cole sehr dünn aufgrund der übergroßen Kleidung, die sie trug. Ohne ihm auch nur einen Blick zuzuwerfen, ging sie zu den Kunden, um ihre Bestellungen aufzunehmen.
Als sie für einen wütenden, bierbäuchigen Mann an der Spitze der Schlange Kaffee machte, der sie anschrie und beschimpfte, verlor sie die Beherrschung und warf ihm den ganzen Becher Kaffee ins Gesicht. Er hatte sie als unfähige, behinderte, schlecht bezahlte Dienstmagd bezeichnet, die nicht einmal extra verdienen würde, wenn sie in einem Stripclub tanzen würde, weil sie wie der Hobbit aus "Der Herr der Ringe" aussah.
Sie war noch nie so gedemütigt worden. Ja, sie hatte es in der High School schwer gehabt, aber am College war es etwas besser geworden, weil dort alle viel reifer wirkten als die Mobber in der High School. Jetzt schrie dieser erwachsene Mann sie an, weil sein Kaffee zehn Minuten zu spät war. Es war nicht einmal ihre Schuld. Sie sollte heute frei haben. Hätte er den Mund gehalten, hätte sie ihm nicht den Kaffee über sein dickes, bärtiges Gesicht geschüttet.
Carl erschien gerade, als der Mann im Begriff war, einen Tisch nach Emma zu werfen. "Hey, hey, hey, was ist hier los?"
"Diese unfähige Kellnerin von dir hat mir gerade einen verdammten Becher heißen Kaffee ins Gesicht geworfen, Mann!"
"Herr, bitte beruhigen Sie sich und stellen Sie den Tisch ab. Ich kümmere mich darum," wies Carl an. "Emma! Du bist gefeuert!"
"Was, du willst nicht einmal hören, was ich zu sagen habe? Er hat mich gedemütigt und..."
Carl unterbrach sie, "Hol deine Sachen und verschwinde. Ich kann dich nicht hier arbeiten lassen, wenn du Leuten Kaffee ins Gesicht wirfst. RAUS, EMMA!!"
Emma warf ihre Schürze auf den Boden, holte ihre Tasche aus dem Spind und ging hinaus. "Ich habe es hier sowieso gehasst," sagte sie, als sie an Carl und den ungeduldigen Kunden vorbeiging.

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.

He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.

Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
