Summary
Bertha Russell has devoted almost her entire life to one man: she and her husband, George, built a fortune of over a billion dollars in tech industry and real estate investments and the powerhouse couple owns one of the most luxurious penthouses on Manhattan’s “Billionaire Row.” Despite their success, Bertha is tired of spending so much of her life on her husband's pursuits and the shallow social life of New York. She has excess energy that she wants to spend on her own projects. When her husband makes a dire misstep in their marriage, Bertha impulse-purchases a $5 million dollar estate in a tiny town in Canada, sight unseen, with plans to single-handedly turn it into a luxury inn. She escapes Manhattan, and her marriage, to start a new life.
Unfortunately, money can only buy your way out of so many problems. Her new neighbors, the odd and stuffy van Rhijn sisters, already own a luxury bed and breakfast nearby. Her golden child son visits her to lend her a hand with the overwhelming project, but he infuriates her with his dating habits. Worst of all, she’s still really, really attracted to her husband and can’t keep her hands off of him whenever they're together.

Based on the conversation we had in the groupchat about why a victorian toff who does little-to-no manual labour has such a beefy gymbro physique???

(recreyo squid game au)
life is full of ups and downs, it's only a matter of time before you reach a dip.
sometimes, you dip so low you cannot see anything except the mountain ahead of you and the stars. sometimes, the stars reach down and give you an opportunity to make something of yourself, to burn the rest of your candle in one go. PLAYTIME will be your opportunity, so enjoy it.

Summary
Life on 61st Street was changing for everyone, both downstairs and upstairs. Since the Opera war, many changes have occurred. Jack Trotter is now a millionaire thanks to his business with Mr. Larry Russell, Bertha Russell has been quiet and has kept her daughter on a short leash, Larry and Marian have a long engagement, and new people all around are trying to stir drama. The Duke is in England, Mrs. Winterton wants revenge, and life is about to change.
**IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING FIC!**
While I love Marian and Larry as a couple, this story does not focus on them too much. This is mainly a story about Gladys and Jack as a couple or their potential to be a couple. I want to set expectations before you read. Thank you and I hope you enjoy it. -CJ Rosa -

Summary
Larry was standing on the door front, his eyes fixed on her with an intensity that made her shiver. He couldn't take his eyes off her, drinking in the sight of her in her nightgown and robe, her hair loose and tousled from sleep. The moonlight cast a silver glow over her, making her look like a goddess.
Marian felt a flutter in her chest as she met his gaze, her heart pounding with excitement. She could see the desire in his eyes, the longing to touch her, to hold her. And she felt the same way, her body responding to his presence like a magnet.
