Introduction
“Mom, Dad, Brother! I’ve been kidnapped, come save me, quick!”
Everyone panicked—including my fiancé, Theodore.
They interrupted the wedding ceremony to rush to Iris.
I begged them through tears not to go. I said it was a trick, something Iris had staged herself.
“The ceremony would have been over in ten more minutes. Can’t you just wait ten minutes?”
My parents called me a heartless, ungrateful wretch. My brother, Ron, pried my fingers from his tuxedo lapel.
“Chloe, stop being so selfish! Even if Iris isn’t your blood sister, how can you be so cruel?!”
“All you care about is your own wedding! Do you really want to see her die?!”
My fiancé looked at me with disappointment. “Let’s cancel the wedding for now.”
“I just realized… the one I care about more… is Iris.”
Watching their hurried figures disappear, I picked up a knife and locked myself in the bridal suite.
Chapter 1
At my wedding, my whole family received a distress video from Anais Brown.
"Dad, Mom, Noah! I've been kidnapped, please come save me!"
Everyone panicked, including my fiancé Oliver Smith.
They interrupted the wedding ceremony to go find Anais.
I begged them through tears not to leave. I said this was just a stunt Anais staged herself. "There's only ten minutes left in the ceremony. Can you just wait ten more minutes?"
Mom and Dad called me an ungrateful wretch. My brother Noah Miller pried my fingers off his sleeve. "Chloe, stop being so selfish! Even though Anais isn't your real sister, how can you be so heartless!"
"You only care about your own wedding. Do you want to watch her die?"
Oliver also looked at me with disappointment. "Let's cancel our wedding. I'm only now realizing that the person I care more about is Anais."
Watching them rush away, I locked myself in the bridal suite with a knife.
My soul drifted out of the room and saw the whole family happily bringing Anais back home.
"I'm sorry, Dad, Mom, and Noah. The distress video and suicide note were just a joke. I just didn't want to be ignored by you."
But everyone didn't care at all. They were just glad to have found Anais and didn't even notice I wasn't home.
It wasn't until Anais's birthday that they received my scheduled birthday message, but they still thought I was just throwing a tantrum.
"If she's got the guts, she can stay away forever!" my dad said.
Mom chimed in, too. "Chloe has been spoiled by us. She knows today is Anais's birthday, but still wants attention. Just ignore her. She'll come home in a few days!"
Anais's eyes immediately turned red. "Chloe must be mad at me. It's all my fault for falling in love with someone I shouldn't have."
She sounded so wronged, and the man beside her—my former fiancé Oliver—immediately pulled her into his arms to comfort her.
"Anais, this isn't your fault. Besides, it's your birthday. You should be happy."
Floating in mid-air, I suddenly remembered the wedding day.
The wedding photo on the screen had changed to Anais's suicide note.
Dad, Mom, and Noah left without a moment's hesitation.
And Oliver, who had always been gentle with me, seemed like a different person.
He looked at me with undisguised disgust and was incredibly disappointed when I tried to stop him. "That's your sister, a living human being. How can you be so selfish?"
I didn't understand why everyone who once loved me gradually took Anais's side.
Later, they found her by the sea.
And I stayed at the wedding, enduring those mocking looks as I saw the guests off by myself.
That night, sitting on the bed in the bridal suite, I received a photo from an anonymous user.
Anais was surrounded by my family, while Oliver knelt on one knee proposing to her.
I felt so cold, I could only hug myself.
Was there anything in this world that still belonged to me?
My favorite Barbie doll from childhood became just one of Anais's countless toys.
Noah's time helping me with homework became bedtime stories for Anais.
Dad no longer lifted me over his head, and Mom no longer held me in her arms.
Now, even my lover had abandoned me.
When I came to my senses, I had already dialed Mom's number.
The phone rang a few times before she answered.
"Chloe, do you have to push your sister to her death?" Mom's voice was full of impatience.
I was silent for a while before saying that secret in a trembling voice. "Mom, actually, I'm sick... Could you please come..."
"If you're sick, then go die!"
The last sound I heard was Oliver gently calling Anais's name.
He had been my therapist and knew I was really sick.
But he said nothing.
My hand gripping the fruit knife tightened slightly, and everything before my eyes turned crimson red.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself trapped by some invisible force beside Oliver, only able to watch him take care of Anais every day.
Even when Anais said she was afraid I hated her, Oliver would comfort her gently. "It's enough that I like you."
I wanted to hit him, to yell at him, but I couldn't touch him, and he couldn't hear my voice.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

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."

COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.

Accardi
“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?”

Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position.

Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...

“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
