Introduction
Lucius chuckled softly and approached Catherine, gently lifting her chin to speak, "It's okay, if you don't want to, we can negotiate compensation for breaking the contract. As for your stepfather, I'm not sure." His eyes began to shine now, a confident, assertive demeanor.
"This meaningless contract, I cannot agree to it. It's best you let me go." Catherine said firmly, her tone escalating into an inner battle.
"Naomi Catherine, at most, you have three days to give me an answer. If you dare to defy me, it won't just be the 10 million dollars from the contract. It will also be your stepfather's life."
"Catherine, I don't want to become your adversary. But I hope you'll make a wise decision. The price of deception and compromise is never cheap, and sometimes, it can change your entire life."
Catherine felt like Lucius's words were a glaring red light, highlighting the danger of the situation. But at the same time, she also felt the limitation of freedom and the imposition of a decision she didn't want to face.
"Moreover, I can also help you get revenge."
Naomi Catherine gave ten years of her life to Liam Claude, sacrificing everything to help him rise to fame—only to be discarded like she never mattered. Betrayed, humiliated, and left with nothing, she thought she had hit rock bottom.
Until her stepfather sold her to Lucius Ravenwood.
A powerful CEO with no interest in love, Lucius needed a wife to silence his family’s demands. Catherine needed an escape. The deal was simple—one year, no feelings, no complications.
But neither of them expected the lines to blur so easily.
When past betrayals resurface, and old flames return with dangerous intentions, Catherine and Lucius are forced into a battle not just for control—but for survival.
Because love was never part of the deal.
But now? It might be the only thing left to save them.
A gripping, high-stakes romance filled with passion, betrayal, and redemption. In a game of power and obsession, who will surrender first?
Chapter 1
CATHERINE'S POV
When I was ten years old, my parents divorced, and the court ruled that I would live with my mother. After that, we moved frequently due to difficult circumstances, sometimes going without a decent meal for days. Six years later, my mother remarried Uncle Willam, and we moved to a small rural area, where we've been living ever since.
I transferred to a new school, where I met Liam Claude, whom I thought was the destiny of my life. I argued with my mother and uncle, eventually leaving home to wholeheartedly support Liam Claude's career.
I played the role of manager for the passionate young singer, supporting everything for my boyfriend... We've known each other for ten years, and I've never regretted my decision. I always thought I was the happiest girl, the only love of Liam Claude. But I was wrong; Claude cheated on me with a girl named Annie, who happened to be their neighbor. And she, the one whom Liam Claude always held dear in his heart.
The ideal image of my boyfriend, Claude, shattered within me. My heart ached so much that it felt constricted, a numbing sensation running through my petite body as I witnessed this scene. The stage lights sparkled, illuminating the man I loved kissing another woman.
***
"Liam Claude, I love you madly," cheers erupted beneath the stands, the atmosphere more lively than ever.
Under the glamorous stage lights, singer Liam Claude was ablaze with his new song, released just yesterday. Liam Claude's tour was scheduled to travel across the United States, and today it halted in a small suburban town in Oregon. Thousands of fans below were synced with the young singer's voice, especially as today's performance featured the famous model, Annie.
As the performance ended, Claude approached Annie in front of the crowd. His gaze stopped at her face, his eyes mesmerized, gently placing his hand on her chin and giving Annie a sweet kiss.
This seemingly heated up the entire stadium even more. Cheers and enthusiastic chants erupted in support. The audience said they were confirming their relationship in public. Previously, the two had been spotted dining together and embracing intimately. Despite the blurred images, fans still recognized Claude by the tattoo of wings on the back of his neck.
Amidst all the noise, Naomi Catherine felt her chest tremble, a sensation of shattering spreading throughout her petite body. Because the singer Liam Claude shining on stage up there was Catherine's boyfriend. In front of his girlfriend, he dared to publicly kiss another woman.
Catherine's heart shattered in that moment. She realized that everything had changed, and the bitter truth tore through her soul like a knife. Catherine rose abruptly, retreated, and ran out of the crowd, feeling her heart ache and shatter into pieces.
After the show ended, Catherine sighed heavily as she entered the dressing room, placing both hands on the makeup table, trying to suppress the overwhelming emotions
Liam Claude stood by the door, his eyes showing concern and a desire to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
"Catherine... I... I don't want to hurt you," Liam Claude said, quietly approaching her. "It's just part of the song's script."
Catherine turned to look into his bright blue eyes. "But your emotions during that performance were real, weren't they?" she asked, her voice trembling.
Liam Claude closed his eyes, sensing Catherine's pain and desperation in her words. "Yes, but... You understand, right? We're still in love, in my heart, you're still the best, but Annie is just part of the show."
Catherine tried to pull Claude's hand down, her eyes sparkling as she questioned him: "Claude, I'm not naive. I'm not foolish. I gave up my dreams to support you from behind, and now what? What do I get in return? If not for love for you, Catherine today would be different."
She took a deep breath and continued, "I've loved you for almost ten years, but I'm not so foolish as to not recognize when my boyfriend betrays me."
Claude didn't have a chance to explain; he could only stare blankly as Catherine pulled out close-up photos of him and Annie dating from her purse and interrogated him.
"Catherine, when did you know? How did you get these photos?" Liam Claude grabbed these photos, tearing them apart frantically.
"Since you started cheating, I knew everything. Moreover, I know Annie is someone you secretly loved before you met me. Just because I love you so much, I turned a blind eye to all those rumors."
As she said this, Catherine collapsed. They had been in love for almost ten years; now she was twenty-eight. How much trust and pride she had for him was now gone.
It was exhausting. Liam Claude had told her they would get married; they would live together for a long time. And now? He was a liar.
"Sorry, Catherine, it's because you're too good. I don't want to hurt you, but if you know everything like this, then we should break up."
***
Naomi Catherine sat on the ground crying for a long time. Was it because she was so bad that she deserved this? Catherine never dreamed she would be abandoned by the person she loved the most.
Not long after, Liam Claude turned back, took out a bank card from his pocket, and handed it to Catherine, coldly saying, "Take as much as you like as compensation."
Claude, Liam Claude, even saying such cruel words, can you?
Hearing Claude's words, Catherine's anger flared to the bone, slapping Claude with all her might, her eyes filled with disgust and hatred. For love, she had to admit this lie; she found it unworthy.
"The love between a famous singer and a hot model is too strong, it's been over ten years, and I can't break it. The most regretful thing I've ever done is standing behind you absolutely. Liam Claude, you're terrible."
After the outburst of anger, Catherine was about to leave immediately, but she suddenly stopped and said, "Liam Claude, you've forgotten one thing. Your success today, all of it is because I helped you."
As Catherine thought about how many years she had been behind, doing everything for that terrible man, she thought about it even more. Did he cheat on her with anyone else besides Annie? Thinking about this, Catherine felt extremely disgusted.
Finally, Catherine, carefree and friendly as before, disappeared, and now Catherine was only the worst version of herself.
Money and glitter finally changed people.
Catherine left the stadium, not wanting to stay there for too long. Unexpectedly, she saw Annie waiting outside, she sarcastically said, "Catherine, are you okay?"
"Annie, I'm fine! As for your boyfriend, I'm not sure, you can go inside and help him feel more comfortable by having sex."
"Catherine, what did you say?" Annie changed her tone, her face very angry.
"Oh, don't you remember! You're a famous model because you want a position in the upcoming show... And you didn't hesitate to have sex with a sixty-year-old man."
Catherine mocked, Annie's face became increasingly unbearable. He said that was tantamount to torturing her. The more Catherine looked at Annie's discomfort, the more excited she felt.
Catherine raised her head arrogantly and said to Annie, "When you get married, remember to send me an invitation."
Annie couldn't believe that Catherine knew that secret, cursing incessantly, even wanting to rush up and hit Catherine.
"How ridiculous! My love, remember that I have supported Liam Claude for almost ten years. I have many relationships that can turn you from a famous model into a third party breaking someone else's family happiness. Do you want to try it?"
"Catherine, don't use that to threaten me. I'm sure you wouldn't dare to ruin Liam Claude's career." Seeing Annie's satisfied expression, Catherine couldn't help but laugh.
"You've forgotten... Liam Claude has everything today because I helped him. Without me, would Liam Claude still be a singer? You guess."
Naomi Catherine was like this, Liam Claude knew very well. Today, I can support you in achieving your goals and admire you beyond words.
But just betray me, even if you beg for forgiveness, even threaten me with death, I affirm that I will not turn back.
"Annie, don't you realize? Liam Claude has loved you for so many years, you don't move him so it's pitiful. Pity, I thought you were so infatuated with him that you broke my happiness."

Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
His Lethal Obsession
He didn't respond but moved his eyes around the room, scanning the place.
"Wha...what are you doing here?"
His icy blue eyes returned to me, sending shivers down my spine. Then further dropped to my dress and then back to my eyes.
"The shit going on downstairs, what does it mean?" he asked, making my legs as weak as they are eager to flee.
"It's....it my wedding,"
He scoffed darkly. "Excuse me?"
I swallowed. "I am......getting married,"
He let out a humorless laugh, looking away and giving me lesser comfort. He looked at me with a demonic frown.
Terror washed me.
"Every single motherfucker/human being here, be it adult or child, including you, will burn before that happens,"

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

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...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
