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?

Reborn in 1958: From Famine Girl to Family Pillar

Rebirth + Era + 1960's - Femine + System Space + Military + Powerful Male protogonist At seventy-eight years old, she died with nothing but regret. Only at the end of her life did she learn the cruel truth— the world she had struggled through was nothing more than a novel. And she… was cannon fodder. Her father, once a Squad leader, was falsely branded a traitor and executed. Her three brilliant elder brothers were crushed one by one, stepping stones for the novel’s so-called “female lead.” Her family’s blood paved the road to the heroine’s glory. She could only watch helplessly as the heroine’s family prospered while hers was destroyed. Powerless. Broken. Too late. But fate was not finished with her. A falling flowerpot ended her life— and opened her eyes once more. 1958. She is thirteen years old again. Her parents are alive. Her brothers are alive. Everything has not yet begun. In the turbulent 1960s era, she awakens with memories of her previous life and an unexpected System Space that grants her resources and hidden advantages. This time, she will not be cannon fodder. She will not allow her family to be sacrificed. She will not let the so-called heroine step on their corpses to rise. Amid famine, political storms, and the shifting tides of the era, she quietly builds strength, gathers supplies within her mysterious space, and protects her family step by step. And standing in the shadows of the military compound is a powerful, sharp-eyed man— a future commander whose destiny was never meant to intertwine with hers. In her previous life, he stood at the peak of power. In this life, he watches her change everything. This time— She will become the author of her own fate. (Original) PS-: The Story is taking place in the parallel world, so although the historical events are same, characters are fiction.
