Introduction
Kenna, la mejor amiga de Aidan, es una doctora que nunca ha encontrado el momento adecuado para el amor. Siempre ha estado tan ocupada con el trabajo que se olvida de su propia vida personal.
Ambos siempre han estado unidos desde que eran niños, después de un solo incidente que sucedió, haciéndolos inseparables al instante. A medida que crecieron, las cosas empezaron a cambiar, pero los mejores amigos son para siempre... sin importar las circunstancias.
¿Qué sucede cuando Aidan establece un contrato y quiere que Kenna sea parte de él?
Chapter 1
Hace 20 años . . .
Kenna se sienta tranquilamente en el asiento trasero del coche, jugando con sus pequeños dedos mientras espera que su madre salga del edificio de oficinas que su padre posee. Ha estado esperando durante los últimos treinta y cinco minutos, y su madre aún no ha aparecido. Sabe lo mucho que su madre está apegada a su trabajo.
Justo cuando está a punto de soltar un suspiro profundo, una mujer familiar con cabello castaño oscuro y ojos azul claro comienza a caminar hacia el coche. Los labios de Kenna se curvan en una sonrisa al ver a su madre entrar en el coche, dándole una sonrisa de disculpa.
—Lo siento, Kenna. ¿Me perdonas? —dice su madre, haciendo que Kenna asienta con la cabeza. Aunque solo tiene seis años, entiende bastante sobre la ocupada carrera de sus padres. Ha escuchado suficientes excusas.
De hecho, Kenna tiene un corazón blando, conocido por el chófer de la familia, Jeffrey. Se encariña fácilmente con alguien y los perdona a la velocidad del rayo tan pronto como buscan su perdón... por eso Jeffrey le tiene cariño.
—¿Directo al jardín de infancia, señora? —pregunta Jeffrey, mirando por el espejo retrovisor mientras sus manos se aferran al volante.
Jeffrey ha trabajado para la familia desde que salió de la escuela secundaria. Tiene aproximadamente la misma edad que el padre de Kenna, si no un par de años más. Aunque no se llevan muchos años, Jeffrey tiene una arruga visible cerca de los ojos y en el medio de la frente, lo que lo hace parecer mayor de lo que debería.
—Sí, Jeffrey —responde la madre, aplicando otra capa de lápiz labial rojo en sus labios antes de cerrar el espejo compacto y guardarlo en su bolso de cuero.
Kenna observa a su madre, fijándose en la forma en que se sienta con gracia y elegancia, definiéndose como una mujer. Su cabello castaño oscuro cae rizado sobre sus hombros, haciéndola lucir profesional pero casual al mismo tiempo. Incluso siendo alguien que pasa más tiempo en la oficina que en casa, nunca ha pedido un descanso ni se ha quejado.
—¿Emocionada, cariño? Conocerás a nuevas personas y harás amigos —dice, girándose para mirar a Kenna y ver que ha estado jugando con la goma para el pelo en su mano. Siempre la lleva a donde quiera que va, ya que es conocida como su goma de la suerte, algo no fácil de lograr.
—¿Y si me odian? ¿Y si no hago nuevos amigos? —pregunta Kenna, su voz lo suficientemente alta para escuchar pero bastante baja si su madre estuviera más lejos.
Su madre agarra su mano, apretándola como señal de apoyo antes de sonreírle. —Kenna, cariño, eres la niña más maravillosa del mundo. Eres inteligente, hermosa, talentosa, divertida... tenemos que trabajar un poco en la parte divertida, pero eres capaz de todo —tanto Kenna como su madre se ríen, felices de que su madre esté aumentando su nivel de confianza para que haga nuevos amigos.
El coche se detiene, y Jeffrey se gira para mirarlas con una sonrisa en cuanto sus ojos se posan en ella. Luego, Kenna y su madre salen del coche y caminan hacia la entrada del jardín de infancia, de la mano.
—Hola, usted debe ser la señora Roosevelt —una mujer comienza a acercarse a ellas mientras están en el medio. —Soy la señorita Cooper. Es un placer finalmente conocerla —continúa diciendo la mujer mientras la madre de Kenna le da la mano, dejando a Kenna con una ligera sonrisa.
—Igualmente, señorita Cooper —reafirma la madre de Kenna.
La mujer conocida como 'señorita Cooper' se gira para mirar a Kenna, sus ojos marrones brillan con diversión. —Tú debes ser Kenna —dice, agachándose a la altura de Kenna. —Hay un par de niños que también se están registrando hoy, Kenna... ¿por qué no te unes a ellos en el patio de juegos? —se gira para señalarle el patio de juegos que se puede ver desde el interior a través de la ventana de vidrio.
Los ojos de Kenna se encuentran con los de su madre mientras asiente. —Vamos, Kenna. Haz algunos amigos —dice su madre, haciendo que Kenna camine directamente hacia el patio de juegos después de mirar dos veces a su madre, quien actualmente está hablando con la señorita Cooper.
Tan pronto como Kenna sale al patio de juegos, se encuentra con un par de niños jugando cerca del arenero mientras otro niño juega solo cerca de los toboganes. Kenna frunce el ceño al darse cuenta de que solo hay niños en el patio de juegos... así que se dirige hacia el columpio, agarrándose fuertemente a los lados mientras se sube.
El columpio comienza a moverse hacia adelante y hacia atrás mientras ella mira hacia el cielo azul, que la atrae. Sus manos aflojan el agarre de los lados antes de que sus labios se curven en una pequeña sonrisa, disfrutando del canto de los pájaros en las ramas.
—Estás en mi columpio —dice un niño y, antes de que pueda girarse para reaccionar, se encuentra cayendo al suelo mientras intenta evitar golpearse la cara. Sus ojos vagan para mirar a la figura detrás de ella, viendo a un niño con cabello castaño y ojos marrones claros mirándola con un ligero ceño entre las cejas.
—¿Qué te pasa? —pregunta Kenna, sus ojos casi llenos de lágrimas, pero las contiene. Mira hacia otro lado, limpiando sus lágrimas mientras intenta levantarse antes de fijarse en el rasguño y el corte en su rodilla derecha.
—¡Aidan Gabriel Ashton! —una mujer desconocida sale hacia el patio de juegos con los ojos muy abiertos mientras se dirige hacia ellos apresuradamente. Agarra el brazo de Aidan mientras se gira para mirar a Kenna—. ¿Qué has hecho? —le pregunta a su hijo, quien simplemente pone los ojos en blanco, sin importarle.
—Ella estaba en mi columpio —responde Aidan, cruzando rápidamente los brazos.
La mujer camina hacia Kenna, sus ojos muestran preocupación antes de fijarse en la sangre en su rodilla. Sus ojos se agrandan mientras se gira hacia su hijo—. No debes actuar así con ninguna niña, Aidan. ¿Qué te dije...? —Justo cuando estaba a punto de hablar, Aidan la interrumpe.
—Es muy poco caballeroso lastimar a una niña y también es irrespetuoso lastimar a alguien sin razón, pero nunca lastimes a una niña —dice, de alguna manera aburrido de decir lo mismo más de una vez.
—¿Kenna? —los ojos de Kenna se dirigen a su madre, quien los mira a los tres con sorpresa antes de acercarse a ellos. Observa el rasguño en la rodilla de Kenna—. ¿Qué pasó? —pregunta, preocupada.
Así, Kenna se sienta sola en una de las aulas, sus ojos vagan por la habitación y se detienen en su rodilla, que ha sido vendada. Frunce el ceño al escuchar a su madre hablar sobre cómo se lastimó sin razón.
—Ahora mismo —dice alguien antes de que la puerta se cierre de nuevo, todo queda en un silencio absoluto, de inmediato.
En cuestión de segundos, Aidan aparece cerca de la puerta, lo que hace que Kenna lo mire, viendo que está jugando con la punta de sus dedos pero sus ojos están fijos en ella. Luego, toma asiento frente a ella—. Hola.
—Hola... —responde Kenna, lentamente.
Kenna y Aidan se miran el uno al otro con una expresión inexpresiva, pero como niños, no sienten nada excepto la atracción hacia la belleza del otro.
—Lo siento por empujarte del columpio —dice y Kenna mira hacia la puerta, viendo que su madre está allí con la madre de Aidan, observando también. Ella se agarra a sus propios pequeños dedos debajo de la mesa antes de mirar a Aidan de nuevo, quien parece estar pensando en otra cosa antes de ofrecerle su mano—. ¿Amigos? —pregunta.
Como sabe Jeffrey, Kenna siempre será la que perdone. Fue criada con modales y siempre los seguirá—. Amigos —responde, estrechando su mano.
—Tus ojos son realmente bonitos —dice Aidan mientras inclina la cabeza hacia un lado, lo que hace que Kenna sonría.
—Los tuyos también —responde Kenna y ambos comienzan a hablar de otras cosas, en las que Kenna se siente cómoda bastante rápido. Nunca se había sentido así antes, especialmente con alguien que la había empujado del columpio, pero por alguna razón, siente que serán amigos por mucho tiempo.
Ambas madres los observan con una sonrisa en sus rostros mientras se conocen. Ninguna de ellas sabía que, desde ese día... lograron ser los mejores amigos. Fue un viaje valioso y fue su viaje.

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.
From Substitute To Queen
Heartbroken, Sable discovered Darrell having sex with his ex in their bed, while secretly transferring hundreds of thousands to support that woman.
Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.
In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.

Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
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.
