What happens when the CEO who doesn’t do love is the only man you’ve ever wanted?
Eighteen months ago, Karin Ellis shared one unforgettable night with a stranger in a Los Angeles hotel suite—a night that lingered long after morning came and they walked away without names, promises, or numbers.
Now that stranger stands before her as Adrien Vale: billionaire, media mogul, and her new boss’s boss.
Adrien is controlled, commanding, and entirely out of reach. A man who doesn’t believe in love, who keeps his world ruthlessly compartmentalized, and who has no intention of letting anyone close enough to matter. Yet the moment he sees Karin again, distance becomes impossible.
As scandal erupts around him and accusations threaten to destroy his empire, Adrien finds himself drawn to the one woman who unsettles his carefully ordered life. Karin knows getting involved could cost her everything—her job, her reputation, her heart. But when she uncovers the truth that could clear his name, walking away is no longer an option.
Adrien may not do love.
But he will protect what’s his.
And when loyalty turns to desire and desire deepens into something far more dangerous, Karin must decide whether the man who built his life on control is capable of risking it all for the one thing he swore he’d never need.

My body pressed against Raymond's, my kisses stretching from his lips to his chin and throat.

He suddenly rolled over and pinned me underneath him, gripping my chin tightly. "You asked for it!" He growled, grabbing my lips and kissing me furiously.

I let out a playful whistle and trailed my fingers down his chest before deftly undoing his belt.

Raymond's breath was coming in quicker and quicker, his eyes locked on mine. "Damn it, Amelia, I'm going to fuck you"

But I wasn't there to fuck, I was there to torture him. As he lunged at me, I quickly flipped him over and handcuffed him to the table. "Sorry, tonight is my time, not yours."
After that night of madness, I fled in a panic. Five years later, I returned with our child

After Raymond found out about my transgressions, I was convinced I wouldn't live to see the next dawn.

I distanced myself from him, feared him, even considered hurting him.

To my surprise, the aloof heir to the Adams family clasped my hand and pleaded, "Honey, when are you gonna fuck me again?"

I shattered my knee in a blizzard getting our hockey captain Carter the wristguard he demanded.
Everyone on campus knew I was his desperate little errand girl. I told myself he was just testing my loyalty because the injury left him scared to let people in—until I stood outside the locker room and heard him say while the guys were losing their shit laughing:
"Luke's sister? Her brother destroyed my leg. She gets to be my punching bag. Fair trade."
"This weekend at the party, round thirteen—I'm dumping her in front of everyone and kicking her to the curb."
My hand found the paper in my pocket—my diagnosis from three years ago: permanent nerve damage, right hand. The souvenir I got from saving his life.
Suddenly the whole thing felt obscene.
If he wanted to play games so badly, I was more than happy to blow up his final round myself.

Lauren Whitmore was twelve when her mother vanished from Wolveroot Palace, officially dismissed, unofficially erased. Everyone told her not to ask questions. So Lauren became someone who answers them instead — a manuscript restorer trained in the dead script pack law is written in, the kind of expert nobody thinks to guard against.
She returns to the palace under a servant's name, one trunk of borrowed clothes, and a single goal: find out what actually happened to her mother before the story swallows her too.
She does not plan on Benjamin Crawford.
The Alpha Prince is supposed to be a monster in waiting. The prophecy carved above the throne room doors has said so for three generations: he will kill his mate. Court gossip fills in the rest — that his own mother's death proves it, that he's cold on purpose, that kindness from him is a trap. Lauren expects a man built to frighten her.
She gets a man who remembers the names of the kitchen staff and looks sick every time someone brings up the prophecy at all.
Then a new page turns up in the archive, a "recovered fragment" of the original prophecy, conveniently confirming the worst version of it, conveniently discovered right as the court pressures Benjamin to name an heir. Lauren's trained eye catches what no one else would: the ink is eighty years too new. Someone is rewriting fate on purpose.
And Lauren isn't the first woman connected to Benjamin to start asking questions. She's the fourth. The other three are gone.

“Tell me to stop, and I will,” Kyler’s lips hovered just above hers, his breath hot, his fingers already slipping beneath the hem of her silk dress. “But if you stay quiet, Arielle… I’ll make you forget who’s in control. You won’t just surrender. You’ll beg for it.”
He’s the nightmare whispered in darkened halls.
Feared. Worshipped. And utterly untouchable.
Kyler Young built his empire on blood, power, and control. As the cold, commanding king of Devil, emotions are a luxury he never afforded—until her.
Arielle Reynolds: fierce, forbidden, and dangerously defiant. The leader of a rival syndicate, she should’ve been his downfall.
Instead, she became his obsession.
She walks like sin. Fights like fire. And tastes like everything he should never want.
One stolen kiss turned into a dangerous game of seduction.
One night turned into a hunger he can’t silence.

Now, Kyler wants more. All of her. Her body. Her secrets. Her submission.
But Arielle was never the type to be owned. She’s a queen in her own right, and she’ll burn before she kneels. As empires clash and blood spills, their desire turns savage—twisting pleasure with punishment, pain with ecstasy. And when love is born in the dark, it never comes clean.

He’d kill for her.
She’d ruin him.
And together, they’ll ignite a war the underworld will never forget

Lucy opened her eyes and saw a clean room filled with the smell of disinfectant water. Only then did she remember that she had just donated a kidney to her younger sister. The anesthetic has only just worn off.

Just then, the door of the ward opened and a slender man walked in.

When Lucy saw the man, an excited smile appeared on her pale face.

"Smith, you came to see me..."

Lucy's tone was weak, but tried to make every word clear.

She stretched out her hand somewhat hard, wanting to get Smith Lu's response.

But what she could never have imagined was the bad news that followed...

"Lucy, did you know that your family is bankrupt?" Smith indifferently ignored Lucy's outstretched hand, and walked to sit on the sofa by the window.

"What are you talking about? It's impossible, my family has been going well before, and nothing bad has happened recently. How is that possible? Smith, you have to save my family..."

Lucy was so worried that she even could not breathe. And when she asked for help, Smith just watched indifferently.

Gradually, Lucy noticed something, tried to calm herself down, and sat up slightly to look at Smith.

"I have helped you to acquire your family's company, and your property transfer letter has been notarized. I never thought you would love me this much that you're willing to give up all your possessions, but I am here to divorce you today."

Divorce?

Property transfer letter?

Was that prenuptial agreement actually a property transfer letter?

But she didn't know anything about it.

Although they had been married for just a few months, not even six months.

Even Smith almost never came home, she still cleaned the house every day, made his favorite meals and waited for him to come home.

Now she had just gone through surgery and he didn't say a word of concern or a greeting to her.

He only set foot in her ward to get a divorce...

She abandoned everything for a man. However, the man she loved cursed that her baby was a bastard and didn't deserve to live in this world. In order to save his lover, he regardless of her life and tortured her day and night. In the end, she fell firmly into the hell...

Would he regret it?

Dear readers,

My first love dumped me for a million dollars, forcing me into an arranged marriage. Five years later, when he tried to meet me again, my husband found out...

“I'll enjoy it better, licking it off you, some places more than some.”
My body instantly started reacting to his words. My nipples hardened, my cunt grew slick and my breath shortened.
I had no idea the slutty spirit that came over me, but I'm not going to lie, I really enjoyed it.
“And…” I slowly crawled to where he was, my voice breathy and even unrecognizable to me. “...where exactly do you think will taste better than others?”
“I think everywhere will taste really good.” He leaned in, his breath tickling my lips as he spoke. “But I can't imagine how heavenly it'll taste licking off your tits or that clitoris.” He said in a needy tone as his eyes lingered on intervals from my breasts to my cunt.
I leaned in just enough for our lips to touch slightly....

"911, what's your emergency?"
What came through wasn't words—it was raw, desperate sobbing.
In Oak Creek, a well-respected couple called to report their daughter had died. But when officers stepped through the door, what they found made a veteran sheriff drop to his knees and retch—
Their 36-year-old daughter had become part of the couch.
Her body had fused with decomposing foam, waste, and writhing maggots. Skin adhered to cracked leather. Her stomach contained couch padding and her own feces. She weighed 65 pounds.
Through tears, her parents explained: "She had severe autism... wouldn't let anyone touch her..."
But neighbors told a different story: Nobody had laid eyes on this girl in twelve years.
Then investigators found something beneath the couch—freshly used cleaning wipes.
Someone had crouched beside her decomposing body and methodically cleaned her. For days.
Then who stays that composed in hell?
Grief—or guilt?

A month before my boyfriend Samuel and I were supposed to get married, he asked me to let another woman wear my wedding dress and move into my house.

It all started three months ago when his "old friend" Dahlia returned from overseas, supposedly with less than a year to live. A week ago, Samuel told me that Dahlia's dying wish was to become a bride before she passed away, and he was the chosen groom.

I kept saying no. But he brought it up every single day, insisting he had to help Dahlia because she had helped him when his company was in crisis three years ago, and he needed to fulfill her wish.

I was furious.

But in the end, I gave up the house and left him.

"What are you doing, Parker?"
I look up at Zane’s handsome face, knowing my boldness is coming from me being tipsy.
"I know you want to kiss me. Go ahead," I say softly.
He laughs. "You had your chance upstairs. You passed, sweetheart.”
“I changed my mind. I want you to kiss me, then take me upstairs and fuck me like everyone is watching”. I lean up on my tiptoes, my mouth next to his ear. "I dare you."

On the surface, I'm just a medical school intern, but in reality, I possess world-class medical skills and incredible combat abilities—ten grown men combined wouldn't stand a chance against me!
One night, I accidentally witnessed a man being hunted by assassins, his life hanging by a thread.
Because the assassins spoke rudely to me, I stepped in to teach them a lesson and saved the man in the process.
This man was extremely suspicious. He doubted my motives for saving him and interrogated me like I was a criminal.
I got so annoyed with him that I stuffed him into a bag and dumped him next to a trash can!
I hate men who talk too much!
I thought that would be the end of it, but little did I know, this man was no ordinary person. He possessed immense wealth and power, and he began secretly investigating me, helping me... and even started pursuing me!
But I had no time to deal with him, because I still had a deep vendetta to settle...

I start hating Oliver just after his older brother Christian's death. I drag him down a road of humiliation and pain to try to cope with what his brother did to me.

A few months after Christian's passing, Oliver leaves town, and for the next two years, he is absent from my life. The demons claw their way back in, and I must learn to live with the secret that has destroyed me.

Now I'm starting a new life, away from Gargle and away from my past, but everything crashes when I see Oliver the first day at university. It's clear that many things have changed since we've been apart. Now he is captain of the rugby team and the most popular bloke on campus.

Then he makes a bet and gives me an ultimatum: I leave Braxton forever and start somewhere else, or I stay and play his game... because he's never forgotten that it was me who ruined his life two years ago.

I'm Elena. My mother died when I was 10. After that, my dad married my mom's friend, who was his secretary too.

And now I'm lying on her son's arm. I never thought he would do it with me. Paul was on me while I was staring out the window of the car. He was quietly sleeping. I was stroking his hair and singing a poem that Mom had previously recited. Suddenly, the surroundings lit up slowly. So it'll be dawn soon. I put my voice down. He was still clutching me tightly in his sleep. I attempted to loosen his grip.

Ahh! In anguish, I closed my eyes. My lower back and lower body were in excruciating pain. I gently rested his head on the seat and smiled at him. I softly called his name, "Paul." "You know how much I love you," I added. "But now it's irrelevant to me," I said as I stroked his hair. "Are you sure you love me?" "Then you gave me the ability to hurt you, too." I kissed him on the lips as I said this. I got out of the car after giving him my farewell kiss. I didn't feel any pain. The stain on my back was already turned to black and crimson. I made my way to my room. It's already light outside.

“Touch me… I want to feel you, Noland.”

Noland Christopher, gentle Alpha of a tiny pack, never thought he’d find a mate. Then Lucien Collin—the most feared and powerful Alpha in the world, appears, his presence commanding and dangerous.

“You’re mine, whether you realize it or not.”

Lucien had given up hope of ever finding his mate. But Noland, with his quiet strength and irresistible warmth, awakens a hunger he can’t ignore.

“Every look, every touch… it burns.”

Two Alphas. Opposites in every way. Drawn together by desire, power, and fate. Can they survive the fire they ignite, or will it consume them both?

Renee didn’t just rebuild her life; she buried pieces of it and called it survival. A farm that runs like a machine, a house full of laughter, a man who stepped in and never once questioned loving a child that wasn’t his. Jake gave her stability, peace, and a future that felt earned rather than stolen. And she let herself believe that if she loved hard enough, the truth would stay exactly where she left it.

But secrets don’t disappear; they settle in your bones. They show up in the quiet moments, in the way she watches Jake with Mark, in the hesitation she swallows every time he says the word “son.” She didn’t lie because she wanted to hurt anyone; she lied because the truth would’ve shattered everything before it ever had a chance to grow. So she chose silence, and built a life on top of it, knowing damn well it wasn’t as solid as it looked.

Then the past refuses to stay dead. One unexpected moment, one undeniable truth staring her in the face, and suddenly the life she protected starts to feel like something she stole. Because this was never just about love, it was about control, fear, and a decision that changed more than one life without giving anyone else a choice. And now the man she erased is standing right in front of her, looking at a child who should’ve been his.

This isn’t a story about a woman caught between two men. It’s about what happens when you build something beautiful on a lie and dare to call it right. Because when the truth finally breaks through, it doesn’t ask who deserves happiness. It takes it, piece by piece, until there’s nothing left but the consequences she tried so hard to outrun.

She won't take him back--no matter what. Or will she?

Until now.
