Introduction
"Who is she? Is that bum you picked up on the street again, Leo?"
Hearing the woman's insults, Leo immediately reacted coldly. He let go of Ruby's hand from his grasp and walked over to the woman with a murderous look that she would never want to see in her life.
"Kneel!" Leo said giving orders.
The woman looked scared, she realized that she had just made a mistake and she would definitely regret it.
"L-Leo, I-I didn't mean-"
"Kneel...!" This time Leo's tone sounded louder. The woman immediately knelt down with her body shaking.
"Lower!"
Because she was afraid, the woman could only do what Leo ordered. Leo grabbed Ruby's hand, asking her to stand right in front of the woman.
"Kiss her feet and beg her forgiveness!"
"Leo, you don't have to-"
"No, Ruby! I don't want anyone to insult and say anything bad about you. It's lucky that you're here, because otherwise, it's certain that she won't see the sun tomorrow with those two eyes!"
Ruby never expected that Leonidas, her poor, neglected and malnourished childhood friend whom she cared for as her own child, now grow up to be a mysterious bad boy with all kinds of unreasonable bad rumors about him.
Leo was once rumored to be a mafia boss, the mistress of a rich socialite, a casino jockey and worst of all, he was rumored to be a hitman.
Leo the international bad boy is the target of many parties because of his sadistic and terrifying actions. Even though many women are crazy about his charm, Leo is so obsessed with Ruby, the love of his life.
Chapter 1
Las Vegas, Nevada
September 15, 2024
"Yes, Pierre? I met my father yesterday. Everything is fine, you don't need to worry!" Ruby said while holding her phone which she put to her ear.
She was walking on the sidewalk after finishing shopping for clothes and toys for her nephew. She had no intention of meeting them at this time in Alberta and chose to send them gifts in lieu of herpresence.
"Thank goodness! Then, you can go home the day after tomorrow?"
"Yeah, I can't be here too long because Henry keeps calling me just to ask when I'll be back. He really can't let me relax, hahaha..."
"I think it's because he misses you."
"No, he doesn't miss me! That fool is just playing with me!" She said. Her eyes fell on a man who looked familiar to her walking out of a hotel towards a black car parked on the side of the road.
"Leo? What is Leo?" She muttered.
"Leo?" Pierre asked when he heard Ruby muttering.
"I think it's Leo! Yes, it's really Leo! Pierre, I'll call you later, Ok? See you later?" She said as she ended the call.
She walked quickly towards the black car right before the man got into the car.
"Leo...!" She shouted cheerfully Leo's name in a loud voice.
"Ruby?" Leo muttered in surprise at meeting Ruby in this city.
He looked panicked and checked the conditions around him as if there was danger that could come at any time. Ruby, who was innocent and didn't know anything, could only run to Leo with a face full of joy.
"Leo, you bastard! What are you doing here...?" She shouted in annoyance and tried to touch Leo who quickly avoided her.
"Who are you? Do I know you?" Leo asked with a cold expression on his face, a typical hooligan's eyes.
"What are you talking about? Oh I know, you want to pretend you don't know me, right? You idiot, why is your phone number not active? Where have you been this week?"
"Hey, listen! I don't know you at all! Don't come near me!"
"What? Y-you said what? What the-"
Bang...
The sound of gunshots rang right in their ears. Leo, with quick reflexes, immediately opened the car door and pushed Ruby inside.
Bang...
"Tch, damn!" Leo growled in annoyance when another shot was fired at his car. He hurriedly drove his car down the road to avoid the mysterious shooter.
Ruby didn't know what was really happening, suddenly she was in a car being chased by a shooter who came from who knows where, along with a man who looked like Leo or Leo who pretended not to know her.
Bang...
"Oh my God, what happened? Why am I here?" She was scared to death when she realized that there was a white van chasing the car Leo was driving. Two men in the car pointed guns and tried to shoot at the window and Leo's car.
"Get down!" Leo said giving instructions.
"What...?"
"Keep your head down if you still want to live...!"
"Oh my God, I'm dead...!" Ruby lowered her head and hid behind a chair to avoid the shots that could hit her body.
Beside her, Leo, who was driving the car, still looked calm, even though his eyes occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror.
"Leo, I know you must be Leo. Don't pretend you don't know me! You're really too much!"
"Tsk, we'll discuss it later! The most important thing now is that we escape first!"
"What happened? Are you a fugitive? Could it be that they are the police!"
"They're not the police!"
"So?"
"They are mafia members who want to kill me! Men ordered by Josephine Stephenson."
"What? Mafia? Oh my God, you're really dealing with dangerous people, aren't you? You're really crazy, Leo!"
"Hey, come on! It wouldn't be that dangerous if you didn't reprimand me earlier!"
"What do you mean?"
Bang...
The shot fired again and hit the rear tire of Leo's car, causing the car to swerve and lose control.
"Tch, damn!" Leo glanced at the rearview mirror, trying to think hard about how to escape the pursuit of Josephin Stephenson's men who were after his life.
Leo found an opening he thought he could use to escape. He drove his car at high speed and entered a fairly busy highway area, then opened the car door when he was on the side of the road near the sidewalk.
"We're out now!"
"What...?"
"Come here!" Leo grabbed Ruby's body and hugged her tightly before starting to make plans to escape.
"Leo, are you crazy? Stop the car first!"
"I can't!"
"What do you mean? We could crash!"
"You just follow my words!"
"What? You're crazy-"
The car was losing control and was about to hit a street light pole. Leo immediately used that opportunity to take Ruby to jump from the car.
Braaakkk...
Leo's body rolled onto the sidewalk with Ruby in his arms. The car hit a traffic light and a few seconds later, the shooters' car didn't have time to cool down and crashed straight into Leo's car.
"You're okay, right? Are you hurt?" Leo asked. He was very worried about Ruby's condition and forgot the fact that his head was injured by the impact on the asphalt.
"I'm fine! Your head hurts, Leo!"
"Forget it! We have to go now!" He said as he took Ruby's hand and led her away through a small, dead-end alley.
"Dead end!"
"We have to climb it!"
"What? Climb? I can't!"
"You can't? Don't make me laugh! How could an ape like you not be able to climb?" Leo said with a chuckle. Ruby was silent, it was true that she used to be very good at climbing. But she hadn't done it for years and besides, she was currently wearing a short skirt, so she wasn't so bold as to expose her panties.
"B-but, I-" she said hesitantly while holding her skirt.
"You climb first! I'll help you! Climb on my shoulders!" Without warning, Leo immediately lifted her body and made her sit between his shoulders.
"Hey, stupid...! What are you doing...?"
"There's no other way! We have to climb!"
"You want to peek at my panties, huh?"
"What are you peeking at? I've seen it before! Never mind, don't talk! We have to hurry before they find us!"
Leo managed to help Ruby climb to the top of the wall and then he followed, but when she was at the top, Ruby was afraid to come down. She didn't know since when she became timid like this.
"Why am I afraid to jump?" She thought. She was really afraid to jump or go down to the ground four meters below.
Meanwhile, without realizing it, Leo was already at the bottom. The movement was so fast that it was almost unnoticed.
"What are you doing? Come on, come down...!"
"Th-that, why don't you just go! I have nothing to do with those people, so I don't think it's a problem if I just go the normal way!"
"No! I can't leave you alone. They've already seen you! I don't want to take any chances!"
"But-"
"Just jump! I'll catch you...!"
She was doubtful, she didn't know what was really wrong with Leo and why those people wanted to kill him. But for some reason he felt a very bad feeling now.
"That's the girl...!"
Suddenly, two shooters were at the end of the alley with guns in their hands. They looked at Ruby sitting on top of the wall with hesitation.
"Tch, damn! Lucia, jump...!" Leo shouted.
Bang...

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.

The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.
