Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them. Come along for the ride as I recount how I accidentally built a successful entertainment company and somehow helped create actual music legends. Fair warning: I do not tell stories in order. My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe. But at least I’m free. XD If you wanna listen to the Jams (Music) appearing here, you can go listen to them in YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@FocacciaBread-Music) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/artist/0ecDiwv85yqoktTR4h569L?si=CHJzNohaTwiTgukcKickMQ) and other streaming platforms.

Sharper. “Because it’s either that… or prison.” *** Mabel Grayson only wanted to humiliate her cheating ex.

Not to her vindictive half-sister. And definitely not to the ruthless billionaire who thinks he owns her freedom. She should run. She should hate him. But every time he touches her, the world burns a little hotter. Every threat he whispers sounds like a promise. And the most dangerous part? She’s starting to want him. All of him. To him, she’s the glitch in his perfectly controlled world. To her, he’s the danger she can’t stop craving. But obsession cuts deeper than love. And in his world, even pleasure comes with a price.
