Introduction

She told one little lie…
And the most powerful man in the city decided to make it true.
When Alina catches her longtime boyfriend cheating—with her stepsister, no less—humiliation burns hotter than heartbreak.
So she lies. Boldly. Recklessly.
"I'm seeing someone too… Aiden Blackwood."
The name alone freezes the room.
Aiden Blackwood—the elusive billionaire, the one no one dares to even approach.
Alina has never met him. Not even once.
But then he appears.
He wraps an arm around her waist, kisses her like he owns her, and whispers:"Hey, wifey. Did I keep you waiting too long?"
Humiliation flips into shocked silence.
Later, away from prying eyes, he makes her an offer she can't refuse.
"My grandmother expects me to bring a girlfriend to her birthday next weekend.You just volunteered."
It's blackmail wrapped in charm.
Aiden will fix her lie.
In return, she'll play the role of his perfect girlfriend.
Smile. Behave.Say "yes, honey" on command.
After that?
They'll go back to being strangers.
Only… nothing about Aiden Blackwood feels like something she can walk away from.
Because lies like this?
They don't end quietly.
They turn into something dangerously real.

Chapter 1

  Everything was perfect—except for the man she was celebrating.

  The candles flickered gently, filling the kitchen with a soft glow. The smell of slow-cooked stew filled the air, and the table was set carefully. Alina moved around the room, humming to herself, but her smile didn't quite seem real.

  She had spent hours making the meal, making sure everything was perfect, hoping that tonight, just for once, he would actually show up. It was their third anniversary, and she had hoped tonight might be different.

  She paused by the window and glanced at the clock. He had left hours ago after receiving what he claimed was an urgent call from the office. It wasn't unusual for his work to pull him away at odd times, but today, she had hoped that would change because there had always been one excuse after another. Still, she held on to the hope that he'd come back soon. And when he did, everything would be ready.

  Her phone buzzed on the counter. Wiping her hands quickly on a towel, she picked it up and saw his name flash across the screen.

  Kelvin

  *I can't make it home, but I'll be at the penthouse. Let's celebrate our anniversary there instead. Xoxo.

  Her heart lifted instantly. He hadn't forgotten. He'd just made other plans to surprise her. A wave of happiness washed over her. Maybe tonight would turn out even better than she had hoped.

  She was about to reply when a voice broke through the moment.

  "There you are"

  Alina turned to see her best friend, Lorraine, standing in the doorway with a deep frown on her face.

  "I told you this morning we had plans,"

  Alina sighed and set her phone down. "Lorraine, today's our third anniversary. You really thought I wouldn't do something for it?"

  Lorraine shook her head, her expression tight. "I get that, Lina. But still... you've been doing everything alone. Doesn't that bother you? He left you to plan, cook, clean like it's your duty or something. A real relationship is about teamwork, not you playing housemaid just to keep love alive."

  Alina bit her lip, a little stung by Lorraine's words, because deep down, she knew they were true. Still, she quickly forced a smile. "Trust me, Kelvin isn't like that. He's been good to me. His job is demanding, and I get that. He's waiting for me at the penthouse now, we're going to celebrate there instead."

  Lorraine didn't argue further, she just shrugged. "Fine. Do you need help with anything?"

  Alina smiled and nodded toward the pots and dishes still waiting to be finished. " Yes please "

  Together, they moved quickly, working in sync like they always did. It didn't take long before everything was ready.

  Once done, Alina disappeared into the bedroom to change. She slipped into a simple yet elegant dress, added a touch of makeup, and smiled at her reflection in the mirror. Tonight was going to be special, she could feel it.

  She grabbed one of Kelvin's car keys from his room, returned to the kitchen, carefully packed the dishes into a basket, and looked at Lorraine. "Alright, let's go."

  With everything in hand, the two of them left the house and headed to the car.

  The drive to the penthouse was quiet. Lorraine glanced at Alina now and then but didn't say much. Alina, on the other hand, kept her eyes on the road, her mind filled with thoughts of how the night would turn out; how it would be far more special than she had imagined.

  She smiled softly to herself. Three years. After everything they'd been through, tonight would be proof that their love was still strong. Sure, the last two anniversaries hadn't worked out because of Kelvin's hectic schedules, but him making time for this one? It meant the world to her. She couldn't wait to see the look on his face when she showed up with everything she had prepared.

  The car came to a halt minutes later in front of the penthouse. Lorraine glanced at Alina, who was gathering the packed food and fixing her hair one last time in the mirror.

  "Are you sure you don't want to come up?" Alina asked hopefully.

  Lorraine shook her head immediately. "Nope. I'll wait here. You know how I feel about Kelvin. I'd rather not fake a smile tonight. Take your time, I'll be here."

  Alina let out a small laugh, though deep down she wished Lorraine would come with her. But she didn't push. "Alright. I won't be long."

  She stepped out of the car, holding the basket of food carefully, and walked toward the building with a light heart. Everything felt so normal, so right. She was excited to finally relax and celebrate their anniversary properly for the first time in three years.

  Inside the penthouse, she headed straight to the dining area and placed the basket neatly on the table. She looked around, but the place was quiet.

  "Oh, the bedroom," she remembered, smiling to herself. Smoothing her dress, she walked down the familiar hallway to the master bedroom. Her hand gripped the doorknob, and she pushed the door open with a soft call.

  "Ba...by..."

  Her voice caught in her throat, and she froze in place. Her eyes widened. The smile vanished from her face as she took in the scene before her.

  There, on the bed, two figures were tangled under the duvet. The soft murmur of voices, slow, throaty groans sent a shiver of dread down Alina's spine.

  Before she could fully process what she was seeing, the duvet shifted. The covers slipped down slightly and Kelvin's face came into view.

  Alina felt her breath catch in her throat.

  "Let's continue, alright?" said a voice. A voice far too familiar.

  She stepped fully into the room, her heart pounding painfully in her chest. And then she saw her.

  Jennifer.

  Her own stepsister, lying in bed with Kelvin, both of them completely exposed in every way that mattered.

  Alina staggered back a step, her eyes darting between them, disbelief clouding her vision.

  "Kelvin?" she choked out, voice trembling. "Jenny?"

  Kelvin didn't even look at her. He stood up, silent and cold, walking past her like she didn't exist. He went to the wardrobe and casually pulled on a pair of pants, moving like this was just another ordinary night.

  Alina's hands trembled. Her heart broke into pieces she couldn't gather fast enough.

  Then Jennifer's voice cut through the silence, sharp, smug, and unforgiving.

  "Not exactly how you pictured your night, huh?"

  Alina's eyes met her stepsister's, and for a moment, she couldn't breathe. She had imagined this scene in her worst nightmares, but now, standing in the middle of it, it felt far worse than she ever could have dreamed.

  She had spent hours preparing a surprise. She had dressed up. She had believed in their love.

  And now... this?

“No, no, no,” she said, pointing at a platter. “If it’s called ‘Goth Girl French Toast,’ then it has to be black. I don’t care how you do it. Activated charcoal. Blackberries. Food coloring. Demon blood. Whatever.”

I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”

She spun around, delighted. “Sera! Good, you’re here. Taste this. It’s missing despair.”

The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.

I was born the year the Rift opened. They said I would close it. They were wrong about so many things.

My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.

The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.

So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.

Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?

Terrence didn't waste a moment in pressing me up against the kitchen counter.

"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 we discussed this earlier, Weakness? I warned you. His death is on your hands.”
“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.

"How thoughtful."
"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. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
