Chapter 1
SOFIA
Fire...
All I see is fire; surrounding me like I was cursed to have my life burn to the ground before my very eyes.
I could only imagine what it was like for my parents. I could still hear their screams each time I close my eyes.
“Why did I leave the house that night just to watch the moon? Why?” I voiced out, out of my deep rooted thoughts.
If only I could turn back the hands of time……..
I sighed out.
“Maybe this was just my fate. To live my 20s with no guardian and nobody to care for me,” I said as I gulped the tequila shot in front of me.
Whatever the barman had mixed in the cup, it was one hell of a try. “You should have more, babes,” my friend, Kiki, uttered as she adjusted her dress to expose her cleavages.
“What are you doing?” I smirked.
“Girl, are you blind?” She said, saving off her hand at the whole place. “Its groovy in here. These dudes needs to see there is a hot chick in session,” she said.
Another slang of hers I was used to hearing. The “hookers’ code” she called it.
“Come join in, babes. These men have a lot of money. Just shake your ass and the gold is yours,” she said, smacking her lips.
“Kiki…just go…” I smirked.
She was the only thing I have close to family. The friend I was opportune to have….just when I thought I was all alone, circumstances brought us close.
She was the most popular in the streets and every hustling girl respected her.
“How long are we going to be here for?” I uttered. But there was no response. It was then I realized she wasn't even paying attention anymore.
She kept winking at every single man that walked in.
“Here, drink up, babes. I don't want to see you brooding over nothing. What you have in front of you is the end to your sorrows,” she said as he handed over the whole Tequila bottle in her hands and danced her way to one of the men.
I shook my head.
Maybe she was right. I can't afford to let what I went through weigh me down. Losing my parents in that fire was one tragic event I never pray to go through again.
“This would do…” I said, as I shut my eyes tightly and drank up.
Suddenly I felt a light tap on my shoulder but I didn't turn. My butts were stuck to the soft cushion chair at the club and my neck refuses to leave its axis as I was already feeling dizzy.
I felt the tap again but this time around, a sweet smelling cologne followed suit and a young man dressed in a fine brown leather jacket appeared in front of him.
“Hello beautiful…can I buy you a drink?” His baritone voice shut out the music playing at the background and I smiled….
“Uhmm…yes,” I blushed.
His eyes were piercing my soul as he kept this seducing stare, his stance was so manly and I felt like he was a shed whose arms I could hide under.
“What's a gorgeous girl doing all by herself in a club like this?” He said as he gently placed his hands on my thighs.
I felt I had the perfect choice wearing this black short dress. The slits by the side exposed my legs to the outside world. “It definitely must have caught his eyes,” I thought in my head.
I was about to point to Kiki, to tell him I came with her but looking in that direction, Kiki was busy rocking some guy and I just looked away.
“I just came to have a drink here,” I answered slowly.
The drinks were kicking so fast and I could hear my own speech slowing down as they escape my lips.
I could feel him browsing my thighs as he whispers sweet words in my ears…”You are a new wine, I could tell. Everything about you brings glamour and I don't want to lose it.”
Those were the first time such lovely words had been said to me. I smiled, I blushed, I laughed. Infact, I did every single thing that he could see as a green light.
Everything about him seems so perfect or my lustful eyes signaled.
“Why are you so fine?” I said, caressing his cheeks with my hands.
He chuckled. “You must be seeing yourself through my eyes, lady cause you are the catch here, not me,” he uttered in a sweet tone.
We had a laugh and we kept drinking like the liquids were meant for our bodies alone.
“I need to use the restroom,” I said.
I stood with the intention of walking majestically with my heels but gravity failed me and I saw myself trip but I was caught fortunately.
“Let me help you,” he said, carrying me in his muscular and comfort arms.
Maybe I was drunk. Maybe I was not but all of a sudden, I no longer felt the need to go to the restroom.
I relaxed in his arms and leaned over slightly to give him a kiss on the cheeks.
He dropped me at the entrance, looked into my eyes and before I knew, his hands grasped my waist and he pulled me a closer like a dog to the bone.
We kissed passionately. His hands were all over my body and I became aroused that minute.
He lifted me off the ground and I could remember how his curly hair found their way to my hands as he laid me on the bed gently.
“What do you want from me?” I muttered.
The reason I asked the question still baffles me but I sure hoped for an answer.
He looked straight into my eyes and I saw his lips moved but I couldn't hear a thing.
“Uhh?” I spoke slowly.
Before I could say more, the whole place went dark and I blacked out…

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

At least, that's what everyone believed.
One moment, she was trapped inside a sinking car beneath the icy waters of the Hudson River. The next, she woke up in her own bathtub and somehow fourteen years in the future.
Her husband is no longer the warm, easygoing man she remembers.
Her five-year-old son is now a nineteen-year-old stranger who looks at her with suspicion.
Her twins barely remember the mother they lost—one forever chasing affection, the other keeping the entire world at arm's length.
And the family she left behind has become something broken, distant, and unrecognizable.
Now Isabella faces an impossible challenge: rebuilding a family that never truly recovered from losing her.
Fourteen years have left scars on everyone.
Unfortunately for those causing the damage, Isabella Winston has returned to set things right.

Four years ago, the Bailey family faced a devastating financial crisis.
Just when bankruptcy seemed inevitable, a mysterious benefactor emerged, offering salvation with one condition: a contract marriage.
Rumors swirled about this enigmatic man—whispers claimed he was hideously ugly and too ashamed to show his face, possibly harboring dark, twisted obsessions.
Without hesitation, the Baileys sacrificed me to protect their precious biological daughter, forcing me to take her place as a pawn in this cold, calculated arrangement.
Luckily, in those four years, the mysterious husband never asked to meet in person.
Now, in the final year of our arrangement, the husband I've never met is demanding we meet face to face.
But disaster struck the night before my return—drunk and disoriented, I stumbled into the wrong hotel room and ended up sleeping with the legendary financial mogul, Caspar Thornton.
What the hell am I supposed to do now?
The New Girl and the Broken Basketball Star
After years of feeling unwanted by the father who should have protected her, Clara is finally forced to leave the only home she has ever known. Her stepmother’s pregnancy only makes it easier for her family to let her go.

Clara thinks she is too broken to be loved.
Adrian thinks his future is already over.
But somewhere between physics lessons, late nights at the repair shop, and a forgotten small-town high school, two lonely people begin to find something they both thought they had lost forever:
A reason to stay.
✦ ✦ ✦
A tough exterior with a soft heart x A soft exterior with a strong heart
✦ ✦ ✦
The first half is set in high school, and the second half is set during their college years. Hope you enjoy the journey!
This is a slow-paced story, focused more on emotions, healing, and the small moments in life rather than intense action or dramatic twists.
If you find any mistakes while reading, please feel free to leave a comment. I’ll be happy to correct them.
I hope ordinary Clara, ordinary Adrian, and all of us ordinary people can find the happiness we deserve.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

And there's another problem: this was always meant to be temporary. His training program has an end date, and we're both fighting against a reality that seems determined to pull us apart.
When everything is on the line, how far are we willing to go for love?

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
