“You got me pregnant!” I shouted at him.

“You can’t just barge in here after seven years and say trash to my face! Get out! Or I’ll have the guard drag you out.” He growled with hatred laced in his voice.

Synopsis

Robin Zhang’s life was a string of misfortunes — until betrayal, a brutal beating, and a deadly truck accident ended it all.

Waking up in the hospital, he discovers he’s been bound to the Super System: Daily Login. A simple login grants him 100 million dollars, miraculous healing, and the power to grow stronger with every day.

Now healed overnight and suddenly wealthy, Robin leaves the hospital with revenge burning in his heart. The girlfriend who betrayed him, the people who framed him — they will all pay.

But in a world ruled by money and power, his quiet rise is about to shake everything.

Julian, a 27-year-old British blackjack dealer with a sharp wit and a guarded smile, works the night shift at The Mirage, a mid-tier casino where dreams unravel. He shares a cramped apartment with Marcus, a 34-year-old pit boss who gave him a home after Julian’s devout London family disowned him for coming out five years ago. Their bond, once mentorship, has bloomed into love, confessed over a quiet drink just weeks ago. At The Mirage, Claire, a 28-year-old cocktail server with a venomous edge, blames Marcus for reporting her tip-skimming a year back, which cost her a high-roller lounge gig—and the cash to cover her brother’s medical debt. Her uncle, Victor, the casino’s security chief, resents Marcus for exposing his rigged slot scheme three years prior, derailing his career. When Claire learns Marcus gave Julian a $5,000 casino voucher for rent—money she needed for her brother—she and Victor frame Julian for stealing chips, planting marked cards, a doctored video, and a fake cash drop. Julian’s fired, Marcus falters, and Vegas’s neon haze cloaks a brewing storm.

They called him the Ashborn, not just a title, but a mockery.

In the divine order of the Aurealis Academy, where angels trained, ranked, and rose according to the purity of their light, Elias Vorne was the standing joke. No wings fully formed at sixteen. No light is strong enough to pass a standard test. The weakest initiative in three centuries of recorded history, they said, which was not the kind of record anyone wanted to hold.

He had heard it so many times, he had stopped flinching.

"Nothing. Again."

The Seraph Commander's voice was flat as a blade laid on a table. Around the testing hall, two hundred initiates watched Elias pull his hand back from the sacred flame that had burned bright gold for every student before him and produced, for him, nothing at all. Not a flicker, nor a glow, nor even the faint warmth that the weakest angels managed.

His palm had come back cold.

"Perhaps Ashborn needs another year."

The laughter was not unkind, exactly. It was the laughter of people who had stopped taking something seriously. Elias stood in front of two hundred divine initiates and let it wash over him the way he had learned to, like water over stone. You cannot erode stone with laughter. You cannot break what has been decided; it will not break.

What none of them knew, what Elias himself did not know, was why the flame went cold when he touched it.

Not because he had no power, but because what lived inside him was not light.

Somewhere in the city beyond the Academy walls, a woman with ink-dark eyes and the patient stillness of someone who had been waiting a very long time looked up from her work and felt the moment the seal shifted.

"You are our mate Immery....," the two handsome men whisper against her body in unison, their breath fanning over her hot naked body, making her mind cloud with the mist of lust.

"Then make me..," she replied, her voice hoarse and bothered, the words ringing in the minds if the brothers as a godly blessing for they wanted to do nothing more than ravish her and mark their theirs.

"Say it again," Nicholas ordered in his cold deep voice, flashing Immery his fanged smirk while Immery just gulped knowing he was just trying to play her. Christian's fingers crawled up Immery's thighs stroking her there, his muscles flexing under her soft hold making them yearn for each other.

"Mark me yours...please.."

“Take my money… take my heart… take everything I have… just let me have a taste of you. Don’t be the kind of art I can only admire from afar, but never have.”

I never imagined the cold, ruthless, untouchable Liam Sterling… my powerful, intimidating boss, would ever be the one on his knees, begging for me.

It all began when he discovered my secret. By day, I’m Natalie his quiet, overworked, invisible assistant. But by night? I’m Natty… the anonymous, seductive streamer with thousands of adoring fans.

He threatened to expose my identity and ruin everything I’ve built… unless I agreed to his deal
“Be my private show and my public wife. Stream only for me. Let me see just how wild you can be… but no touching.”

I kept my word at first. But the sight of me proved far too tempting for him to just watch. Now, he doesn’t only want to see me fall apart, he craves every part of me. He wants to touch, to claim, to make me fully his.

But will he get what he wants? Will he get to own me completely?

Not before I make the untouchable Liam Sterling crawl at my feet first.

Avoiding a holiday breakup seemed like the right thing to do. But then he met Molly. Molly Foster’s dreams of going away to college were sidelined when her father died and she stayed home to help her mother run the family inn. Four years later, she’s finished her degree online and is poised to pursue her old career dreams in the big city. But as a gentle snow falls on the Christmas Tree Inn, an intriguing guest arrives and prompts her to question everything she’s ever wanted. Before he even left college, Zach Moreton was well on his way to financial success, buying and renting college apartments. Now, seven years later, he’s made a name for himself in New York real estate. With his latest deal, he’s attained every goal he ever set, and he rewards himself with a ski weekend with his stylish girlfriend. But his ski weekend is about to take a sharp downhill turn.

The world knows him as untouchable. Adrian Vale is Formula 1’s golden champion, fast, ruthless, and always in control.

Until one moment shatters everything.

A scandal threatens his career. Sponsors are ready to walk. His reputation is burning to the ground.

Enter Liana Cross, the only woman who can fix him.

Her solution? Fake a relationship. Sell a love story the world will believe.

Simple.

Except nothing about Adrian Vale is simple.

Because the man she agrees to pretend to love doesn’t just play his role, he consumes it. His touch lingers too long. His gaze follows her everywhere. And the lines between real and fake begin to blur faster than she can keep up.

Then come the whispers of control. The way he knows things he shouldn’t. The way her world starts shrinking… until he’s the only thing left in it.

And the most dangerous truth of all?

Adrian didn’t choose her for the contract. He chose her long before she ever walked into his life.

Now she’s trapped in a game she doesn’t understand, with a man who doesn’t lose, and doesn’t let go.

Because for Adrian Vale, winning isn’t enough.

He needs possession. And once he has her, he could never let her go.

They say that the eyes are the mirror to the soul, but his eyes were cold and dark. Atlas Drakov is a known killer, the ruthless and calculated leader of the Italian Mafia.

When, by force their worlds collide, they are made to endure each other's company, turning each others worlds upside down.

In the ruthless world of corporate empires, Damon Blackwood is a man who never loses—he acquires, dominates, and destroys. He believes everything has a price. Including people.

So when his younger brother's scandal threatens the Blackwood name, Damon makes a calculated move: Ivy Marchetti. A ruined heiress with nowhere left to turn. In exchange for her family’s debts, she will become engaged to his brother.
Simple. Controlled. Perfect.
Until Ivy walks into his world, and Damon realizes he has made a mistake he cannot undo.
Because Ivy is not the fragile pawn he assumed. For the first time in his life, Damon doesn’t want control.
He wants her.
But Ivy is meant for his brother. A line Damon should never cross. A desire he should never indulge. Yet every strategy he builds to keep her close begins to blur into something far more dangerous than business.
Damon Blackwood doesn’t just want to win deals anymore.

He wants to win Ivy.

"Lexy, stop!"

The woman wiped her eyes bitterly. She walks out of the building and walks to her car near the entrance.

Opening the car door, she ignored the shouts of the man who just walk out of the building in large strides.

"Lexy!" The man roared before gripping his hair in frustration.

"Brett..." A small voice called out coquettishly.

Brett turned around and looked at the woman in front of him in anger and disgust. His cold eyes were wide open, and his lips were curled upside down in disgust. He looked at the woman with killing intent in his eyes. His eyes flash red for a second before he gritted his teeth and turn his head around. Looking anywhere but her.

He clenched and unclenched his fist, trying to calm himself down from exploding.

A few moments after, "Scram." he said before walking to his red Audi car without looking back at the woman who stood frozen at the entrance of the Night Hotel.

Avilla gritted her teeth as she watched Brett's car disappear from her sight. But, upon recalling Lexy's reaction when she saw them just now, a sinister smile appeared on her face.

"Brett is mine. Trash would only be trash." her eyes turned vicious as she looks at the dark sky.

He doesn’t ask. He takes.
And now... I’m his bride.

I never planned to marry a man like Nico Moretti—ruthless, powerful, and feared by everyone in this city.
But my father’s debt has a price, and Nico came to collect.

Cold kisses. Dangerous vows. A wedding dress stitched with secrets.

To the world, he’s a mafia king.
To me, he’s a captor in a custom suit.
And yet every time he touches me, I forget to hate him.

He says I belong to him now.
Heart, body, and soul.

But in this deadly game of power and blood, the most dangerous thing I could do... is fall in love with my husband.

“Mafia’s pretty payment” is a dark, steamy, enemies-to-lovers romance with an obsessive antihero, a forced marriage, and a heroine who just might break the don’s heart—or lose hers trying.

I never expected to find a man tied to a chair, bloody and barely breathing, in my billionaire husband’s forbidden basement—so I did the only logical thing: I stole my husband's money, untied the gorgeous stranger, and ran for our lives.

For six years, I thought my husband Augustus was perfect. I was his princess. But my curiosity got the best of me. When I opened that heavy wooden door to the east wing, the illusion shattered. I didn't just find a torture chamber; I found Brad.

Since that night, it's been a blur of cheap motels, fake names, and colored contacts. I traded my designer dresses for a pocket knife I clutch in my fist every time I close my eyes. I sewed up his brutal stab wounds with my own shaking hands. We are bound by trauma, running from a mafia boss who will slaughter us both if he ever finds us.

Brad is broken, scarred, and terrified of the dark. But as his wounds healed, the terrified stranger turned into my fierce protector. The nights of holding him through his night terrors slowly turned into nights of tangled limbs and breathless moans. He became my entire world.

We finally found a crappy apartment in Arkansas. A place to breathe. But yesterday, the coil wire on our car was deliberately ripped off. And last night, when I woke up in the pitch black, the front door I swore I locked was standing wide open...

He is power, control, and darkness wrapped in flesh. She is the forbidden spark that could burn his entire world down.

When destiny forces their paths to intertwine, desire turns dangerous, secrets unravel, and one truth becomes clear:
Loving Meira Ashford could mean the ruin of them all.

Nicolai Petrovich never wanted to be a hero—he has too much blood on his hands and too many ghosts in his past. The only thing that ever kept him human was his sister. And when Selene dies in a night of gunfire and chaos, something breaks inside him that will never heal again.
But hell has a sense of irony: on the day he buries his sister, Nicolai is forced into a marriage with Alessandro De Luca—the heir of the most ruthless mafia family in the city. The Phantom. The man everyone fears.
What was meant to be a political alliance quickly turns into a battle for dominance and sanity. Alessandro claims Nicolai as if he has every right to—through orders, through touch, through a kiss that feels less like affection and more like a brand burned into skin. And Nicolai hates it… almost as much as he hates that his body doesn’t always agree with him.
Caught between loyalty, guilt, and a man who sees right through him, Nicolai starts to fall. Deeper, darker, more dangerously than he ever should.
Because Alessandro is no legend, no myth—he’s far worse: a man who always gets what he wants.
And he wants Nicolai.
What follows is a war of desire, power, and broken promises. A marriage that isn’t one. A prison without bars. And a man fighting not to lose himself to someone who might bring him back to life… or destroy him completely.
Forced Marriage with the Devil — a story about obsession, pain, unwanted intimacy, and the slow, brutal fight for freedom… or personal ruin.

Ivy Monroe has one goal: survive senior year as an invisible scholarship student at Ashridge Prep. She follows strict rules—no eye contact, lunch in the art closet, never cry at school. Then she accidentally records Jace Holloway, the football god who made her life hell, having a violent panic attack at a party. The video goes viral. His future crumbles. And he blames her.

When Ivy's mother collapses from heart failure, medical bills leave her desperate. She accepts a live in tutoring job without asking the family name. Too late, she realizes it is the Holloway mansion. Now she lives down the hall from her enemy.

Forced into fake dating to kill rumors, Ivy and Jace draw lines: public only, no kissing, end of football season. But late night panic attacks, a lonely little brother, and the weight of secrets blur every line. Just as Ivy falls for the boy behind the bully, she discovers an old recording. Jace mocking her freshman year. The betrayal shatters everything.

Two years later, Jace suffers a career ending knee injury. His rehab specialist walks in. It is Ivy. Now he must do more than apologize. He must confess his cruelty to the world and prove he is not the boy who hated her first. He is the man who will love her last.

She wasn’t supposed to remember him.

It was just one reckless night. One stupid dare. One kiss that should have ended everything before it began.

Instead, it became the kind of mistake that doesn’t stay buried.

Because the man she walked away from without a name… isn’t a stranger.

He’s her fiancé’s elder brother.

Now trapped between the life she agreed to and the man she can’t forget, she tries to do the right thing—to be the perfect fiancée, to ignore the tension that lingers every time he walks into a room, to pretend that night never happened.

But he doesn’t let her.

Where her fiancé offers stability, his brother offers something far more dangerous—attention that feels intentional, words that cut too close, and a presence she can’t escape no matter how hard she tries. And the closer the wedding gets, the harder he pushes, as if he’s determined to prove that what happened between them was never a mistake.

Secrets begin to crack beneath the surface of her engagement. Control starts to look like love. Lies start to look like truth. And the more she uncovers, the more she realizes she may be walking into a future she doesn’t fully understand.

But wanting the wrong man is one thing.

Being caught with him?

That would destroy everything.

And he doesn’t seem afraid of that at all.

Because this time, he isn’t walking away.

'YOU DESERVE BETTER"

Lily Wilson was the beloved daughter of the Wilson family until her adopted sister Rose and her fiancé David Clarke conspired to destroy her. They drugged her, staged compromising photos, and had her thrown out in disgrace. Her family believed Rose over her.

Three years later, Lily returns—now a successful jewellery designer with a powerful, mysterious husband backing her.

Time to take back everything and watch them fall.

Evan Hale had spent three years being invisible.

In the port city of Grayhaven, that meant midnight towing calls, grease under his nails, a cheap apartment above a closed pawnshop, and a daughter who still believed the world could be repaired with pancakes and tape. He let people call him broke. He let his ex-wife call him a failure. He let rich men look through him as if poverty had made him harmless.

Then Lily came to the tow yard with a hospital bracelet on her wrist and terror in her eyes.

The paperwork said Evan had lost his rights. The doctors said it was an emergency. The heir to Grayhaven's largest medical charity smiled like the city already belonged to him.

They were all wrong.

Because before Evan became a night-shift tow driver, he had been the man federal teams called when protected witnesses vanished, sealed evidence moved, and dangerous people needed to be found before sunrise. He had buried that life to keep his daughter safe.

Now the people hunting Lily had put her name on a list he recognized.

And Evan Hale was done hiding.

After four years of trying to conceive, I suddenly realized my husband had been drugging me so i couldn't give birth and when i asked he had shamelessly said

Turns out, I was never the girlfriend. Just a bet.

No feelings, no rules, no falling for each other.

But the problem with pretending to be in love with your enemy?

Somehow… it stops being pretend.

Because this time, running might cost her everything.
Even love.

Inside the private dining room, my seven-year-old daughter leans against the edge of the table. She waits for three hours, and her birthday cake melts. Dante texts me, claiming he is handling an "emergency arms deal" and telling us not to wait.

But his mistress's Instagram tells a completely different story.

She wears the limited-edition black diamond necklace Dante just bought, cozying up to someone in a top-tier club. The caption is blinding: "A real man always knows who comes first, even when bullets fly."

What is more brutal happens the next day. When stray bullets hit the casino, Dante actually shoves his own daughter away when she begs for help, turning his back to protect his mistress's nephew instead.

Looking at the bloody scratches on my daughter's arm, listening to him announce in public that "that boy is my only blood," my heart completely dies.

He doesn't know that to love him, the heir to the Romano Mafia family willingly suffered in the slums for seven years. And he treats our lives like garbage compared to an outsider.

Now, it is time to make him pay.

The spring semester at the Academy had barely begun when Mother's enchanted letter burst into flames on my desk, that familiar acrid smoke already filling the air.
The smoke swirled and her voice emerged, sharp with anxiety:
"Cecilia, have you found a human man yet?"
"Less than a month left before we must present our tribute to the tribe. Noah is your own brother—can you really stand by and watch him die?"
Surrendering Noah meant certain death.
Over eighty Medusa females in the tribe were of breeding age. Noah had been frail since birth, his scales pale as paper.
If he were dragged onto that cold stone altar to serve as a breeding tool, he wouldn't survive the first night.
But where the hell was I supposed to find a human man?

At our seventh wedding anniversary dinner, my husband Nathan audaciously discussed the name of the child his mistress Victoria was carrying, speaking in Spanish right in front of me.
They presumed I could not understand. Yet, not only did I comprehend every word, but I had also long ago uncovered evidence of their affair—including those passionate videos filmed in his car...
But when I vanished completely, he went into a frenzy.
When the news of the 'plane crash' broke, he spent fifty million dollars, deploying twelve rescue helicopters to search relentlessly through the storm for seven days and nights.
When the rescue team informed him that 'there were no survivors,' this once indomitable man knelt on the deck, weeping inconsolably like a child who has lost his mother.
Little did he know, there was no trace of me on that 'lost' plane.
And now, it was my turn to make him experience the true meaning of loss.

On a stormy night, an intruder broke into the estate and slashed my husband's throat.
I didn't call the police. Instead, I grabbed the bleach and scrubbed away every trace the killer left behind.
The next morning, my mother-in-law dug her nails into my arm. "Tell them! Who murdered my son?!"
"Lady Cordelia, if you saw anything, now is the time to speak." The police captain stepped closer, his voice hard.
I met his gaze without blinking. "The thunder was loud last night. I took my sleeping pills and heard absolutely nothing."

In my third year of marriage to Cassius, I saw his childhood sweetheart Serena post a photo on a luxury yacht with the caption: "My man always knows what I want."

That yacht was supposed to be my birthday gift.

I called the dealer. "Mr. Vitale transferred it to Miss Monte."

Cassius called immediately. "Stop checking up on me. I owed her this. Why are you so insecure?"

That night, he kicked my medication across the floor. "Stop reminding everyone I owe you my life."

Three years ago, I gave him my gas mask during a shootout. The toxins destroyed my lungs.

When he burned my face with an iron, he drove me to the hospital—until Serena called crying about a burst pipe.

He shoved me out into the pouring rain. "You're not going to die. She needs me more."

For the first time in three years, I realized I should stop saving a man who'd already chosen someone else.

This was the 99th time Sabrina stood me up for our wedding appointment.
Just as I was leaving, I got a text from that new male student of hers—attached was a photo of him shirtless, wrapped around her sleeping form with a caption that screamed pure provocation:
[If you really loved her, you wouldn't trap her with marriage. Can't you see she doesn't want this?]
When she finally picked up my call, her tone was beyond annoyed.
"Colin's having a meltdown over mixing the wrong colors, and if this piece gets ruined, it's on you. A marriage certificate is just a piece of paper—we'll do it another time."
She had no idea that, thanks to Colin "accidentally" spilling that cheap turpentine, my severe asthma was raging. Every breath felt like swallowing shards of glass dipped in blood.
And that "another time" she mentioned? It was never going to happen.
After hanging up, I calmly tossed the wedding ring I'd bought for her.
Then I turned and took the groom's suit from the senior who'd had a crush on me for seven years.

On my due date, my husband Matteo locked me in an underground freezer at minus ten degrees.

The Torrino family's unbreakable rule: the first-born male inherits the entire mafia empire. My sister-in-law Jennifer and I were both pregnant, our due dates only one day apart. To ensure his brother's child was born first, Matteo made this insane decision.

"My brother and Jennifer's baby has to come first—this is what you owe them!" He ignored my desperate pleas and violent contractions, coldly shoving me into the freezer.

But that wasn't enough. They forcibly injected me with labor-delaying drugs. I curled up in agony on the freezing concrete floor, feeling my baby slowly slipping away, tears of despair streaming down my face.

My baby, Mommy is so sorry...

Look, I'd heard the rumors: Skyward International's flight attendants? You never see 'em anywhere but the airport. Not once. Kinda spooky, but my coworker drops this smirk—"First time? You'll get it"—and I'm boarding Flight 6108, heart pounding.

This chief stewardess, Tiffany? Stunning. Locks eyes, buckles me in, perfume hits like a drug. Later, service cart rolls up. "Airsick? C'mon." Door shuts in the crew lounge. Boom—she's on her knees. "Relaxation service." Zipper down, wipes me clean, then swallows my cock whole. Balls-deep, tongue on my sack, cheeks sucking vacuum. "Big one," she whispers, eyes pleading like she needs my okay.

The apocalypse is not a natural disaster, but a man-made one.

When the T-virus swept through London like a curse, and when my former love and brothers tore off their disguises at the last moment, I realized that the most terrifying thing in this world has never been zombies, but the human heart.

They thought they had tricked me, that abandoning me would get them a ticket to the safe house.

They don't know that I was reborn.

In my past life, my kindness became a weapon in the hands of demons; in this life, I will make the betrayers send themselves to hell.
