System Chose Me As Heir; The One Million Dollars Mission
Billie Bias · Ongoing · 41.2k Words
Introduction
Then a voice activated in his head.
The Chosen Heir System doesn't do sympathy — it does missions. Its first order: save the sister of the man who just destroyed him. Adrian ran through the rain, bleeding, and did it anyway.
One mission. One million dollars.
Ricardo Rodriguez has no idea what he just created. And the system is only getting started.
Chapter 1
1
Adrian handed over his old card at the checkout, trying not to think about how much money he was spending. The cashier scanned his gift box, then a voice cut through the store, loud and mocking.
“Well, would you look at that? The scholarship kid!”
He froze, recognizing Ricardo Rodriguez’s voice—and the snickers from his crew. Adrian didn’t care much for them, and he was pretty sure the feeling was mutual. Really, he’d rather get in and out, no drama.
“Hey, pauper. What, are you shopping now? This place is a little pricey for someone like you.” The guys closed in, smirking. “I doubt you can even afford to look at anything here.”
Ricardo had always been obnoxious—the richest guy at Ravendale, always flashing his cash, always running his mouth about people like Adrian who barely scraped by. Before, Ricardo used to just ignore him, acting like Adrian wasn’t even worth the effort. That changed fast when he found out Adrian was seeing Teresa Williams, easily the most beautiful girl in school. From then on, Ricardo made it his mission to humiliate him any chance he got.
Ricardo eyed Adrian’s purchase. “Is that a gift box? Adorable. Let me guess—it’s for Teresa.” He grinned. One of the guys chimed in, “She’s really gonna accept that? Looks like something straight out of the discount bin.” More laughter.
“You came all the way here just for that trash? You don’t even have shame, man,” another one sneered.
Ricardo leaned in and clapped a heavy hand on Adrian’s shoulder. “Listen, bro, I can’t stand people like you. Sure, you’re smart, a total nerd with your books, but you’ve got nothing in your wallet. You don’t deserve Teresa. She should be with someone like me. I’ll make you a deal—ditch her, and I’ll give you a thousand bucks. Deal?”
Adrian stared at him like he’d grown a second head. Did Ricardo really think he could just pay him to go away? He hadn’t even offered that much.
“No thanks.” Adrian turned away, not bothering to meet Ricardo’s eyes or react to his pack.
The cashier handed back his card with a quiet “Thank you for shopping with us.”
Ricardo’s gang started up again, “Shopping, he says! He probably grabbed the cheapest thing in the whole store. Look at that ratty box—how do you even stay in business with customers like him?”
Adrian walked right past them, refusing to give them the satisfaction of a scene. He knew how this would play out—the poor kid always took the fall, the rich kid walked free. Not worth it.
He’d ignored people like that his whole life. He could keep doing it, for as long as he had Teresa.
With the box tucked under his arm, Adrian headed home. He needed to clean up and change—tonight was a big deal. He wanted everything to be perfect. For her. For them.
He paid the ride and looked up at the party venue. For a second, he just stood there, a little stunned. It was beautiful, nothing like any student party he’d ever been to. The student body had put it all together. Really, Ricardo had put it together—he was, after all, the son of Federico Rodriguez, who was practically made of money. Guys like Ricardo had it all handed to them; Adrian had to juggle part-time jobs on top of class just to scrape together enough for a half-decent necklace for Teresa.
Adrian glanced down at his gift—he’d picked it out so carefully, saved every penny, wrapped it himself. Tonight, in front of everyone, he’d make it official. Sure, all their friends probably guessed they were together after three years, but tonight, he’d say it out loud. No hiding. No pretending.
He checked his phone. Nothing from Teresa yet, not even a read receipt. Maybe she was just caught up with something. He tried calling—straight to voicemail.
Fine. He’d find her inside.
Scanning the party, Adrian searched for a familiar face. He spotted Lily, one of Teresa’s friends.
“Hey, do you know where Teresa is?”
Lily barely looked at him. “I think she went through that door.” She pointed vaguely, barely even making eye contact. Adrian could feel her contempt; Lily had always thought he wasn’t good enough and that Teresa could do better.
“Thanks,” he muttered, following her directions through the glowing doorway, not even pausing to read whatever sign was posted there.
This new room was gorgeous—so much fancier than the last—but the moment Adrian stepped inside, he felt it: every judgmental look, every whispered slur.
“Is that the loser?”
“Who let him in?”
“He looks worse than the janitors. Bet his girlfriend paid for his ticket.”
Even dressed in his best, he stood out. Everyone else sparkled—he came off plain, just one more nobody. Still, he scanned the room, eyes moving quickly… and there she was. His heart thumped as he spotted hair the shade of autumn leaves: Teresa.
She was sitting with a guy—someone he didn’t recognize at first. Adrian took a step forward, but someone stopped him. “Excuse me, sir, this area’s for VIP guests only.” He didn’t even stop walking.
“Just a minute,” he said, the words catching before he could finish. He froze.
Ricardo Rodriguez. Sitting beside Teresa. Right there, kissing her while she held onto him, not pulling away as he
touched her like they were alone.
Adrian’s world just… stopped.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret
“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”
My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.
It was killing me.
Vanessa Sterling who never liked men because of what her father did to her mother ended up having a drunken one night stand with a stranger and that might end up changing her life forever.

Bloodright
Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.
Nobody told Adaline she was that person. They classified her as Dormant. A blank space in a file. Nothing.
She is the opposite of nothing.
Beneath the campus, three ancient entities are waking up. Every house in the pack world wants to control what runs in her blood. The boy sent to assess her has stopped being able to do his job. And the woman who has been three steps ahead of everyone since before Adaline was born is not a villain. She is a warning. She is what Adaline would have become if nobody had found her.
The suppression field holding everything together is failing. The clock is running. And the only way to stop what is coming requires Adaline to give up the thing she can least afford to lose.
She already knows her answer. She decided before anyone told her the full price.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
