Introduction
Now, she was back, weeping about "maternal regret" and "postpartum shadows”, saying she had regretted her decision every second of her life.
Overjoyed that my mother wanted me back, I packed my belongings and rushed to meet her.
However, the moment I stepped foot at her doorstep, I overheard her conversation with her darling daughter with her new husband.
“Of course, sweetheart! You will always be my one and only darling. I’m only adopting Vanessa back to wed her to Mr. Blackwood to save your Dad's bankrupt company.”
“You are not lying to me, Mom, are you?” Ramona, my step sister, tugged to my mother’s arms. “You won't share my love with sister Vanessa, will you?”
“Never.” My mother replied, her voice contained no warmth when mentioning me. “How can a village’s trash can compare to our princess?”
“If we wouldn't have to please that old hag of Blackwood company, we would never have brought your sister back.”
“An old master of Blackwood company and a village girl with no literacy, I think that's a match made in heaven.” Ramona smirked, followed by the sound of their laughter.
My legs at the doorstep froze, the momentary joy I felt shattered. The cold heart that had melted seeing my mother shed tears, became ice.
I watched the duo of mother and daughter, laughing and making fun of me, completely unaware that the company they were trying to please by offering me, was actually owned by me.
I was the CEO of Blackwood Groups.
Chapter 1
When I was one day old, I was dumped into a trash can by my biological mother.
Reason—she wanted to get married with a young billionaire who did not want baggage with her.
When I turned six, she brought me back to her home, took my kidney to save her daughter, Ramona, with her new husband and then sent me back to the orphanage where she had found me, not knowing I was her biological daughter.
When I was top in the University, she had the director of the University cancel my scholarship so that her darling daughter could be the top scholar in the city.
When her loving daughter’s boyfriend took a liking on me, she had a bunch of street goons to rape me. I could not imagine the outcome if the siren of the police van had not chased those men away.
She had done the worst possible things a mother could do to her daughter.
Still, when she came back weeping about "maternal regret" and "postpartum shadows”, saying she had regretted her decision every second of her life, vowing she didn't know I was her daughter when she was tormenting me, I forgave her.
Having been craved for love for the past twenty years, I let my heart melt.
Perhaps, my mother had really changed.
Perhaps, she wouldn't have done those horrible things to me if she knew I was her daughter.
Perhaps, she would have never abandoned me if she wasn't so ‘depressed’ after my father's death.
Overjoyed that my mother wanted me back, I packed my belongings and rushed to meet her.
However, the moment I stepped foot at her doorstep, I overheard her conversation with her darling daughter with her new husband.
“Of course, sweetheart! You will always be my one and only darling. I’m only adopting Vanessa back to wed her to Mr. Blackwood to save your Dad's bankrupt company.”
“You are not lying to me, Mom, are you?” Ramona, my step sister, tugged to my mother’s arms. “You won't share my love with sister Vanessa, will you?”
“Never.” My mother replied, her voice contained no warmth when mentioning me. “How can a village’s trash can compare to our princess?”
“If we wouldn't have to please that old hag of Blackwood company, we would never have brought your sister back.”
“An old master of Blackwood company and a village girl with no literacy, I think that's a match made in heaven.” Ramona smirked, followed by the sound of their laughter.
“She is such a fool to believe you instantly. You have been using her for years for me and she still agreed to help you one more time.”
“She actually cried, Ramona,” my mother’s voice drifted through the cracked door, light and melodic, as if she were discussing a charming play she’d seen. “When I told her I didn’t know she was my daughter during the... unfortunate incidents, she actually reached out and wiped my eyes. It was almost hard not to laugh.”
She knew!
She knew I was her daughter when she had me donate a kidney to Ramona!
She knew I was her daughter when she had the director cancel my scholarship!
She knew I was her daughter when she had a bunch of goons… rape me.
My legs at the doorstep froze, the momentary joy I felt shattered. The cold heart that had melted seeing my mother shed tears, became ice.
The realization didn't break my heart. It cremated it. Every ounce of warmth I had saved for her, every drop of "maternal love" I had hallucinated, vanished.
In its place was a hollow, echoing cavern of ice.
Just then, my phone buzzed in my pocket. A silent haptic rhythm.
[NOTIFICATION: BLACKWOOD GROUPS PRIVATE LINE]
“Ma’am, the Smith-Vane estate has defaulted on their final loan payment. We have the legal authority to begin the eviction and seizure of their primary residence at 6:00 PM tomorrow. Awaiting your command to crush them.”
I watched the duo of mother and daughter, laughing and making fun of me, completely unaware that the company they were trying to please by offering me,
was actually owned by me.
I was the CEO of Blackwood Groups!

I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night.

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
