The quiet jealousy that festers over time, the unspoken fears that linger in the corners of our minds, and the dark emotions we try to bury.

Sometimes the cost of your dreams isn't measured in money, but in something far more precious, like in this story inspired by Shelby Lane. Drake felt that life had been completely unfair to him. Despite being a talented, aspiring musician, he was having no luck and was currently between jobs. To add to his misery, his friend Connor, an artist, had experienced a recent boom of tremendous success.
Patrons paying hundreds of thousands, even millions, for his paintings and sculptures. Instead of feeling happy for his friend, Drake only felt envy. One night, while the two were enjoying drinks at their favorite bar, Connor sensed the tension in his friend. Reaching into his pocket, he handed Drake a business card.
"'There's someone who can help you,' goes by the name of Miss L. She helped me to get where I am. I owe it all to her." Drake snatched up the card, his eyes roving hungrily over the gleaming gold letters. Connor's expression was one of concern. "'Just be careful, man. Her price is steep.'" The next day, Drake followed the address written on the card, leading him to a palatial townhouse downtown.
As he approached, the door swung open on its own. A melodic voice called out, "'Come in. Come in. I've been expecting you.'" Wearily, Drake stepped through the threshold, marveling at the opulence of his surroundings. He followed the voice into a sitting room, where a woman lounged on a velvet chaise.
