Chapter 1
Gabriel was sitting in his office, thinking about his ex-girlfriend, Ashley.
Flashback
“I’m sick and tired of this Gabriel!” Ashley angrily said.
Gabriel was confused and shocked at her outburst. He just got back from the office and wasn’t expecting this sort of welcome.
“What are you talking about?”
“Aargh!” Ashley angrily exclaimed.
“You still don’t get it, do you?” she asked, frustrated with his cluelessness.
“If you make it a lot clearer, I guess I’d get a better picture of what you’re on about.”
“I HATE YOU GABRIEL!” she spat.
Gabriel was taken aback by that.
“I’ve been waiting for you for the past three hours, Gabriel, so we would go on the stupid date you promised, but once again you didn’t show up or should I say, you were too busy to show up.”
Then it hit Gabriel like a ton of bricks. He forgot about the date he had promised Ashley. Now, he feels guilty. He has no excuse this time, other than the fact that he forgot about it.
“Baby, I’m sorry. I forgot about it because of an urgent meeting I had to attend.”
“Great. Just great! You always have something important to deal with. What about me, huh?! Is your company more important than me?!”
Gabriel didn’t like where this argument was going. He loves Ashley, but his company is also important to him.
“I’m sorry, okay? I’ll make it up to you” he said not wanting to get into an argument with her.
“I DON’T WANT THAT, OKAY?!” she yelled.
“You always say that, but never keep your words. You always come up with new excuses. You’re just incredible, Gabriel!” she replied, stating the last part with sarcasm.
“You suck at this Gabe..”
“Ashley, can we please not continue this conversation? I promise to make up for my mistake. If you like, we can have tomorrow to ourselves.”
Gabriel suggested, hoping to make Ashley calm down and feel a lot better. He won’t deny the fact that he was a terrible boyfriend.
“After tomorrow, then what?” she asked.
Gabriel looked perplexed, not understanding what Ashley was trying to say.
Ashley closed her eyes and inhaled deeply, getting herself prepared for the next thing she was about to say.
“I don’t think us having tomorrow to ourselves would be necessary. I already moved my things. I was only waiting for you to come home so I could tell you in person.”
“What do you mean you moved your things?”
“I can’t continue living like this, Gabriel. You make me sick. So, I think we should end this.”
Gabriel couldn’t hide the surprise on his face. Ashley not only mentioned her moving her things out of the house, but she also wanted them to break up.
“Are you trying to break up with me?” he asked, wanting to get a better understanding of what she just said.
“I’m not trying, Gabe. I’m breaking up with you.”
Gabriel was devastated by her statement. He watched as Ashley walked out the door without looking back. She couldn’t even give them a second chance. She just left, leaving him completely broken.
End Of Flashback
That incident happened five years ago and Gabriel still can’t get it out of his head. It remains fresh, he doesn’t think he’d ever forget that day.
That is the reason why he is more dedicated to his work now than ever because he knows that’s the only thing that loves and understands him, but his mom thinks otherwise.
His parents are worried about him. They want him to move on and find someone new, most especially his mom. She calls in every month to find out if he has gotten a new girlfriend. She is desperate to become a grandma but Gabriel isn’t buying that.
Flashback
“Gabe, my son, you have to listen to me. You need to move on, forget about Ashley. If she loved you, she wouldn’t have left the way she did.”
“Mom please, can we not talk about this.”
“We have to, honey. You aren’t getting any younger. You’ll be forty in a couple of months, Gabe. Stop hurting yourself living like this, she isn’t worth it.”
“I need to get back to work, mom. I’ll talk to you later.”
“Just what I was talking about. Stop drowning yourself in work. Go outside, mingle, make new friends… Baby, do it for your mom.”
“Hmmn… I’ll think about it.”
“There is nothing to think about. I want to find out that you have a new girlfriend the next time I call you, okay?”
“But, mo..”
“Bye honey.” and with that, his mom hung up.
End Of Flashback
That was the last discussion he had with his mom. He was under a lot of pressure, not just from his mom but also from the public and press, who were already terming him with so many sexualities.
He has to come up with something and he has to think fast.

The mafia princess return
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.

My Possessive Alpha Twins For Mate
My drunk stepfather remained indifferent, his weight suffocating, making it hard to breathe as my heart raced.
Suddenly, the door slammed open, and two figures burst in.
"Get off her!" a deafening roar echoed.
I didn't expect the twin brothers who'd bullied me at school to come charging in like gods to save me.
After my grandmother passed, I had to move in with my mom and stepdad, who treated me like a servant. I prayed every day for my 18th birthday to come, so l could leave and escape this broken home.
However, on my first day at my new school, l encountered the legendary twins everyone feared.
To make matters worse, the Moon Goddess revealed they were both my mates!
After helping me out with my stepdad, my twin mate cornered me, played with my hair, and whispered possessively, "You belong to us, our little mate..."
Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

"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."
