On my wedding day, my fiancé, Jace Mancini, had his men lock me outside the church gates.

Through the iron bars, I watched him walk his pregnant mistress down the aisle in my place.

He just shrugged at me. "Gianna's carrying a Ferraro heir, Nina. I need that alliance. Give me a year, then I'll divorce her and you'll be my girl again."

Everyone was sure I'd wait for him. I always had.

For eight years, I'd loved him more than my own life. I even walked away from my family for him.

That night, I called my father and got on a private jet to Naples to marry the Don of the Santangelo family.

Then I disappeared from Jace's world without a word.

Four years later, I flew back to Chicago with my husband and our son. Rafe got held up at the last minute, so he had the local families send a car for me.

I never expected the man holding the sign on the tarmac to be my ex.

Jace looked me up and down and smirked. "Look who finally came crawling back. Good timing. Gianna's kid needs a cook. The job's yours."

His mistress's cook?

Me? The Donna every family in the underworld bows to?

The plan was to become an actress. Not the assistant to the cocky CEO.
But then, one humiliating text took Jenna Bailey from “newly hired assistant” to “the woman who accidentally told her boss what she’d do to him, in detail.”
She thinks she’ll lose her job, but Weston Reed has other plans. He kisses her, claiming her in front of his mother, then offers her a deal: be my girlfriend for three months, and I’ll forget the text.
It’s supposed to be easy since Jenna loves acting, and pretending is just another role.
But nothing is easy with Weston. He’s possessive, infuriating, demanding and somewhere between late-night texts and staged appearances, pretending starts feeling real.
Then her ex returns to her life, her own story is stolen, twisted and put on display for the world to mock, and the city decides it has a lot of opinions about who Jenna Bailey really is.
To clear her name, she has to pick between the man she loves and the man she used to love. But choosing wasn’t the hard part. The hard part came after Jenna woke up with no memory of Weston.
Now Weston must either give up on her or do whatever it takes to make her fall for him again.

The Percy Family Heir's Scandal Leaks Again!

Cecilia Davis sat curled up in the master bedroom, scrolling through photos of Edward Percy and Jessica Brown.

The photos were taken secretly, but from a sharp angle.

Through a car window — the two of them, going at it hard.

Cecilia let out a cold laugh, tossed the photos into the trash, and felt a wave of deep exhaustion wash over her eyes.

"Do I really have to cut it?"

"Ma'am, this is Mr. Percy's request. Only if you cut your hair as short as Ms. Brown's can we clear up last night's rumors. Of course, you don't have to go — that is, if you never want to see your brother again."

Edward's assistant Leo spoke with a dismissive air, not a trace of respect in his eyes.

As if she, the so-called Mrs. Percy, was nothing more than a joke that nobody needed.

And honestly, that's exactly what she was.

I bite down on my lip to try and control my hatred for him as my stomach flips with contempt. "You aren't comfortable to sit on," I argue. "I won't be able to fall asleep on you." "Oh, but you are quite comfortable for me," He says, pleasure evident in his voice. His hands keep me pressed against his solid chest, sealing his command. "It is my bed that you sleep in, remember? You will sleep where I tell you to."


In the realm of the Fae, humans have two purposes when they are stolen; They are either bought as pets for the nobles, as my sister and I were, or they are kept as children for those who could not bear their own. Alice is lucky- she was purchased by a Seelie noble, who typically adopt human children as their own. I, however, was purchased as a pet by the bastard son of the Unseelie court, who find little other use for human children.

Liam O’Grady is a powerful loan shark and realtor, a man mixed in crime and an underground fighter, a King. He owns all the main gambling dens in the city and in the areas around and does not hesitate to use muscle or kill his opponents.
Between them, his half-brother Finn St Just and he run the city of Hunter’s Folly, with the strength of their muscle and money power.
The brothers are Dominants and they enjoy subjugating the women they take. And they have the habit of sharing a woman.
But the jaded Liam knows that something is missing. He has turned thirty and he feels cynical, bored.
Like a breath of fresh air, innocent young Bianca Cruz turns up at their doorstep, asking for help. The nineteen-year-old is trying to get her family free of the clutches of the evil Dean Nelson, who was also responsible for the death of her father.
Liam agrees to help her, for he is intrigued by the young woman who is untouched and other-worldly, an innocent who appeals to his jaded self. It is like a jest to him, this chance to bed a girl who is totally inexperienced in the ways of his world. A virgin at that!
He along with his brother proposes a deal with the desperate young woman. They will help her; they will even restore her father’s beloved bakery and hand it over to her.
But the price is this:
She will be their willing submissive for a year.
*
Does she cave in and accept their terms?
And what will happen during this year to the girl who has no experience of men?
Worse, what will happen to her at the end of the year?
For Bianca is a sensitive young girl.
And the men who will own her are experienced , hard-hearted and callous men who do not care for the women they bed…

I am the adopted daughter of the Blackwell family.
The day they found their biological daughter and kicked me out, my birth parents found me, and I became the heiress of a top-tier billionaire family.
But none of them know that I am the sole apprentice of a legendary miracle doctor.
I am the founder of a famous aromatherapy brand.
My hacking skills might not be the world's best, but cracking a system is something I can do in minutes.
When my adoptive parents mocked me for being down and out, I just smiled.
Later, when they went bankrupt and begged for my help, I just smiled.
I also slept with Vincent, the head of the powerful and aloof Thorne family, treating him like a male model.
He initially suspected I was a spy sent by his rivals and pursued me aggressively.
Later, he hooked his arm around my waist and whispered seductively, "Claire, be my girl, won't you?"

But Owen. You can’t just quit your job, sell your house, and run away with a band. People just don’t do that.

When her childhood sweetheart Owen breaks off their engagement, quits his job, and sells his house to pursue a career as the lead guitarist of a band, Emily’s world comes crashing down around her.

Owen was, after all, her best friend and always had been. They had grown up next-door neighbors, gone to the same school, the same university. They had even bought houses next to each other.

They had been each other’s first for everything. Absolutely everything. There had never been anyone else, not even for a moment.

Just as Emily begins to find her feet again and form her own plans, Owen’s backup singer calls in sick, and Emily steps in to save the day.

Soon she finds herself swept up in a crazy ride to the top of the music industry which might just save her relationship with Owen or end it completely.

After he’s gunned down, a bike accident throws her into the arms of Don Knox, ruthless leader of the rival Iron Serpents. Saving her could spark a brutal war, but walking away is no longer an option for his heart beats for her. With the Blood Reapers demanding her head and Emily guarding a secret powerful enough to upend the criminal world, survival may come at the cost of everything—and everyone.

I was the perfect billionaire's mistress.
A tiny waist, a sweet voice, a pretty face, and just enough brains to know when to keep my mouth shut.
For four years, I'd been living like a princess under the protection of Alexander Whitmore, one of the most powerful men in New York.
Until one afternoon, I overheard him talking to his friends.
"Alexander, Vivian's coming back to the States soon. What are you going to do about the little bird you've been keeping?"
Alexander's answer was casual, almost dismissive.
"She's just a pretty little thing I keep around for entertainment."
He took a sip of his drink before adding, "Now that Vivian's coming home, it's time to get rid of her."
That was when I finally understood.
I wasn't his girlfriend. I was just a replacement for the woman he'd never gotten over.
And his one true love was finally coming home.
My days as a kept woman were numbered.
But what Alexander and his friends didn't know was that I'd never been in this relationship for love.
I'd only ever wanted his money.

On the seventh anniversary of my marriage to Alexander Moretti, I finally understood something.
In the Moretti family, loyalty was a rule everyone had to follow.
Everyone except the Don's son.
Over the past seven years, women had come and gone from Alexander's life. Actresses, models, daughters of allied families, and even my own personal assistant, whom I had once personally promoted.
Through it all, I maintained the dignity expected of Mrs. Moretti.
I managed the family's accounts, kept rebellious branches in line, represented Alexander at charity galas, and smiled for the press whenever another scandal broke, assuring reporters that my husband was simply too busy with work to entertain himself with other women.
Until the day I went into labor.
Alexander's latest mistress showed up with a group of hitmen from a rival Mafia syndicate and came straight for my mother and me.
My mother was shot dead while trying to protect me.
And the child I was carrying was forcibly taken from my womb.
I begged Alexander desperately to come save us, but he was too busy enjoying himself with his new lover.
When I finally regained consciousness in the hospital, I stared numbly at the elderly man standing beside my bed.
Vito Moretti, Alexander's grandfather and the current Don of the Moretti family.
"This is an amendment to the family trust. As long as you agree to remain by Alexander's side, the Moretti family will provide for you for the rest of your life. You will still be the only woman of this family."
I looked at the agreement and suddenly found the whole thing ridiculous.
"Just let me go."

My name is Maya Wilson. I'm seventeen, I have 100K TikTok followers, and I just watched my dad destroy our family for a twenty-five-year-old homewrecker named Ashley.

"Ashley makes me feel alive again," he said, dismissing seventeen years of marriage like a bad business deal.

"We'll be one happy family," she smiled, standing in our kitchen like she already owned it.

That's when I knew: Mom needed my protection.

What followed was a war fought with laptops and lies, fake pregnancies and real heartbreak. A battle between a broken housewife discovering her strength, a teenage girl wielding digital weapons, and a woman who thought she could manipulate her way to victory.

Six months later, Mom would be accepting awards. Ashley would be gone. And Dad?

Dad would be begging for forgiveness he'd never get.

Halfway through the family's celebration dinner, the big screen started looping a video nobody was meant to see.

A man and a woman half undressed on the bed. She kept her face turned from the camera.

He didn't — it was Kai Voss, the Don's most trusted capo, caught clean on film.

The ballroom went silent. At the head table, the Don's face turned to stone.

Her face stayed turned away the whole time. It didn't matter. The jaw, the hair, the way she moved — it was Liora Marrick. The Don's wife.

My sister.

A capo who touches his boss's wife doesn't lose his rank. He gets taken downstairs and never comes back.

Kai's eyes locked onto mine, begging and threatening at once.

I'd given him what he wanted once before. I'd stood up in this room and said the woman was me — because I loved him, and because Liora and I shared seven parts of the same face.

That lie bought me a wedding, a cellar, and a back-room table where Kai's rush to heal my sister cost me the ability to ever have children.

I died screaming.

Now I was back, and the screen was still looping.

Then I lifted a hand to my mouth.

"Oh. That woman in the video. Doesn't she look a lot like Liora?"

I thought I had finally married for love, that I had become the most cherished woman of a Mafia godfather.
Until I discovered the real reason he chose me in the first place.
For three years, Marcello Giovanni treated me as the most precious woman in the world.
Until the day I stumbled upon a hidden room, filled with hundreds of photographs—and every single woman in those photos looked exactly like me.
Then, I heard his underboss whisper:
"Boss said her eyes look just like Miss Camilla's."
I thought that even without real love, I could still keep living.
But I was wrong.
The moment Camilla came back from the dead, Marcello chose her without a single moment's hesitation.
And I was forced to jump into the ocean...

On Nora Bennett’s thirtieth birthday, she learns that she is not even listed as her six-year-old daughter’s emergency contact.

Her husband, billionaire CEO Ethan Caldwell, is already at the hospital—with Nora’s half-sister by his side. And while Nora waits for someone to remember her birthday, she watches the three people she once called family celebrate without her.

That night, Nora stops waiting.

She leaves her wedding ring behind, resigns from her husband’s company, and returns to Asterion Labs—the AI company she founded before marriage and abandoned for a family that erased her one sacrifice at a time.

But six years is long enough for the world to forget a genius.

To save Asterion from bankruptcy, Nora must repair a failing medical AI model, survive a lawsuit from her husband’s company, and convince the most powerful investor at the Frontier Summit that she is still worth betting on.

Julian Cross remembers her.

Six years ago, Nora humiliated him by rejecting his offer to buy Asterion. Now he controls the funding and computing power she desperately needs. He believes in her talent—but not in the woman who once walked away from everything she built.

Nora can debug a broken model in thirty hours.

Proving that she will never disappear again may take much longer.

And just as Ethan begins to realize that the quiet wife he neglected was the brilliant woman everyone else is fighting to claim, Julian presents Nora with a far more dangerous proposition:

He will invest in her company—but only if she gives him a reason to invest in her.

This time, Nora isn’t asking anyone to choose her.

She is choosing herself.

For seven years, Claire Sutton played the perfect daughter, sister, and fiancée—because a voice in her head promised her $100 million and a ticket home if she could make her family love her.
She cooked. She apologized. She sanded down every edge they hated. She got all three of them to 99%.
Then Vanessa—the girl the Suttons raised in her place—came home. Three days later, every score was zero.
So Claire took the only other way out: die in this world, wake up in her own.
Simple. Except now that she's done begging for their love, her mother, her brother, and her fiancé suddenly can't let her go. They lock the windows. They cry at her bedside. They swear they'll do better.
Claire doesn't want better. She wants out.
And they're about to learn that some apologies arrive too late to matter.

My mom died saving me during a kidnapping. At least, that’s what everyone believed. My dad—once the man who spoiled me like his little princess—turned his grief into hatred. He adopted a girl who looked just like Mom and gave her all the love that used to be mine. For five years, I lived in that shadow, broken and unwanted. Until the day I was beaten and left for dead… and my mom came back. Alive.
• He used to call me his treasure. Now he calls me a curse. But the night my mom returned, everything shattered—his lies, his obsession, and the truth I was never meant to know.

I thought I was a powerless human in a school full of witches, heirs, and monsters.
Until a black magician tried to kill me.
Until my blood awakened.
Until the boy with phoenix fire knelt bleeding in my arms—and I brought him back from death.
Now everyone wants my secret.
And someone wants me dead.

My husband's first love was in trouble.
When the news came, I was lying on the operating table.
Dr. Miller put down his scalpel and said to Dr. Johnson, "I'll leave my wife's surgery to you."

"If I don’t go now, I might regret it for the rest of my life."

With that, he turned and walked away.
Watching my husband's retreating figure, I couldn't hold back—tears fell.
The next second, the cold blade of a scalpel touched my skin.

Dr. Johnson spoke calmly, "Why the tears? With me here, you'll be fine."

My father is the youngest chief of cardiac surgery in the country, the ace of his field.
His hands were the best in the business. Yet on the day my mother had a sudden heart attack and needed an emergency transfer, he turned her away, claiming every operating room was full.
Later, someone photographed him on a sunlit lawn at a country club on the edge of town, showering another woman's daughter with rose petals for her birthday.
My mother died on a gurney, waiting to be saved.
He never showed his face, not even at the burial.
For twenty years, my uncle drove a night-shift cab to put me through medical school.
The day I became the youngest Chief Credentialing Examiner in the history of the State Department of Health, the hospital group sent over a promotion file for a genius young surgeon.
The group's CEO vouched for her personally, his tone unusually low.
"Examiner Lane, this girl is extraordinarily gifted. One signature from you and she becomes the youngest woman ever named Division Chief of Surgery!"
I flipped through her résumé.
When I reached the section for family and emergency contacts, I froze.
I stared at the girl's photo for a long time.
Then I closed the file and said quietly,
"I'm sorry. I won't sign off on her review."

In his eyes, I had always been "understanding." Understanding enough not to fight, not to make scenes, not to ask for status.

He said we couldn't go public now, but it was for our future.

Only later did I realize that his "future" never included me.

He chose power, chose arranged marriage, chose to keep me hidden. When I finally left, he started having regrets, started saying he loved me.

But by then I understood—he wasn't regretting losing me. He panicked because I was no longer obedient, no longer his.

So I never gave him another chance. I turned and walked away.

But that was only the first step.

I chose to let the truth surface at his moment of greatest triumph, to let him taste what it feels like to lose everything.

"No need. She's adopted."
My mother said it at the closing table, while my sister signed her name on the deed to our new house. She said it to my teachers. To her coworkers. To anyone who would listen.
She even said it to a federal investigator—the man holding my security clearance, my dream job, my entire future in his hands.
I'm not adopted. But ever since my parents brought my long-lost sister home, I've been the extra girl in the family portrait.
So I packed one carry-on, took my name off their paperwork, and disappeared into the desert to build rockets.
I thought that would be the end of it.
Then my launch went out live on national television—
and suddenly, my parents wanted their "adopted" daughter back.

At Nico's funeral, the screen of the phone in my hand suddenly lit up, and I accidentally answered a FaceTime call from the Dario Falcone of three years ago.
On the screen, he was still wearing that faded leather jacket, the scar above his brow left from protecting me.
He was still a penniless bodyguard, clutching my ultrasound report with barely contained excitement, his eyes shining:
"Vittoria, isn't our baby adorable?"
"Do you think it's a strong little boy or a beautiful little girl?"
"No matter who he takes after, I'll protect him with my life."
I knelt on the cold floor, staring silently at him.
The Dario from three years ago sensed that something was wrong. The smile slowly froze on his face.
The next second, the heavy church doors were kicked open.
The priest's prayer came to an abrupt stop.
The Dario of three years later, the terrifying Mafia Don, strode inside.
His tailored suit was immaculate, while the bodyguards behind him roughly knocked over the wreaths lining the aisle.
He stopped in front of me, his voice cold and utterly emotionless.
"Vittoria, you actually staged a fake funeral for your own son just to get revenge on Colette. You really are sick."
I didn't look up or acknowledge his fury. I simply stared at the bodyguard on the screen from three years ago, the one who looked utterly bewildered.
Then, numb, I turned the phone around and pointed it at the tiny white coffin in the center of the hall.
Looking at the screen, I answered the man's question from three years ago.
"A boy. He was adorable, and he had eyes just like yours."
"But he's already dead."

Freezing lake water flooded my lungs, swallowing every desperate breath as I sank beneath the ice.
On the shore, Oscar-winning actress Lauren looked down at me with a smile as elegant as it was cruel.
"Lexi, did you really think you deserved to be Mrs. Blackwood? Drowning in this lake is the price for stealing my spotlight."
Just when I thought the icy winter would become my grave, Sebastian Blackwood pulled me from the brink of death.
But the chill radiating from him was colder than the frozen lake itself.
Tilting up my bruised, blue-tinged chin, he ignored the mud clinging to my body—a man whose obsession with cleanliness was legendary. His voice was cold, commanding, and utterly merciless.
"Lexi, I told you before. Without my permission, you don't even have the right to die."
A shiver ran through me as I met the terrifying possessiveness burning in his eyes.
Only then did I realize the truth.
Every miraculous rescue. Every time he appeared out of nowhere when I was at my lowest. Every moment I believed he was the man who had saved me from hell...
It was all a lie.
He had never been my savior.
He was the devil who had dragged me into the abyss.
Making me the lead actress in Fallen Empire was never meant to launch my career. It was the first step in building a far more exquisite prison—a gilded cage where he intended to keep me by his side, forever.

"Fuck," he muttered in a low curse as he withdrew himself from me.
I blinked, still dazed by the aftermath of the bond.
"Wait..." I managed to whisper, my voice raspy.
I slowly turned around, but by the time I sat up and looked toward the doorway, he was already gone, leaving me alone and naked.
A cold feeling settled deep in my stomach, quickly replacing the warmth of the mark on my neck. My mind reeled in shock.
He had just marked me. He had just taken my body, bound our souls together, and then walked out without a single word. He didn't even ask for my name. He didn't tell me his.
The image of Kael standing over my sister, looking at me with total indifference, flashed vividly in my mind.
A bitter, painful realization struck me right in the chest.
He was just like Kael. He was just another irresponsible mate who took what he wanted and walked away when he was done.


Three days before her eighteenth birthday, Sophia caught her boyfriend, Kael, in bed with her own sister. Without a flicker of guilt, he called off their mating, declaring that Olivia was his true mate.
Years later, Sophia is a single mother with a secret past and a cold, powerful Alpha CEO for a boss.
Ronan Hawthorne built his empire on control. And he has reason to suspect that the quiet woman at his side is carrying more of his past than either of them is willing to admit. As enemies close in and an old betrayal resurfaces, a bond neither of them expected begins to awaken.
He was supposed to be her enemy's Alpha. She was supposed to be beneath his notice. But fate doesn't ask permission.
Betrayed by the mate she chose. Marked by the one she was always meant for.

My godfather father fell gravely ill and passed the position of Don ahead of time to my fiancé Chris, whom I had not seen for two years.
But he did not fulfill his promise to marry me once I returned home, claiming instead that he would marry my half-sister Lily.
“Sophie has lost sight in her right eye. She is no longer fit to be the Don’s wife.”
“With Sophie’s dull temperament, what does she have besides the surname Rossi? If it weren’t for that position—”
So the feelings of all these years, the eye I lost, the suffering I endured in Sicily—none of it meant anything.
I was nothing more than a stepping stone for him to become the new Don.

Dante planned to trade Elena’s mute sister into a marriage pact to protect his mistress from her own lie. For six years, Elena had built his empire with her father’s routes, her money, and her loyalty. On the wedding day, she arrived with all seven route tokens, exposed the forged deal, and handed him the divorce papers he had signed without reading.

Darcy Madu never imagined she’d become a billionaire’s nanny or find herself at the heart of a high-profile scandal.

What's more forbidden?
Sleeping with your Friend's dad or finding out he wasn't her dad?

Readers Discretion is strongly advised.

"Dressed like this, are you expecting something?" Mr Bank whispered in a low seductive rumble.

"No, you got it all wrong..."

I couldn't even complete my statement and then he whispered, "Touch yourself," My eyes widened in shock as I swallowed hard, "You saw me jerk off last night, now it's my turn to watch you. Don't you think?"

Of course, I do want him to but how did he know I watched him last night."I didn't mean to." I defended, but who knows he'll let out a hella hot chuckle.

"I know, now you have to obey let me show you how pleasure is spelt."

And then all I could remember was I was gone. I was having sex with my best friend father.

And then coming to realise I was tricked, that wasn't my best friend's father.
Now I'm doomed realising his identity.

"Give birth to my child, then get out."

With those words, Sean’s kiss fell brutally, ripping Susan’s nightgown open.

His fingers pressed against her clitoris. Sean flipped her over, pinning her under him. His swollen, turgid member quickly found her secret path. He thrust in violently.

Susan broke into a cold sweat. Sean nipped her ear. "Does it feel good? Is this what you like? I’ll make you pregnant, but you can’t stay by my side—this position is reserved for Victoria."

——

Years ago, Susan saved Sean and earned the chance to marry him. But she was damaged in that accident and couldn't conceive. She took countless hormone injections, losing her figure and becoming ugly. Finally, she could get pregnant, only to catch Sean cheating with the young, hot Victoria.

"In that case," Susan said, "let’s divorce."

Susan was bloated and had been a housewife for three years with no skills. Yet, she chose to divorce, even though she couldn't take her own child with her...

Betrayed and killed by the wolf king in my past life, I came back from hell. On the wedding day, I turned down his proposal without hesitation. I made a blood pact with his greatest enemy—the vampire king. Together, we avenged my child and family, and built a new future in the dark.

She loved him in silence for years.
Tonight the Alpha would choose his Luna, and Haydee told herself she came only to watch. Then Cole Shade kissed another woman, and the mate bond snapped into place.
The whole pack heard her gasp.
Cole scented the truth and rejected her anyway, in front of everyone. "
A mistake of the Moon Goddess is still a mistake."

The rejection nearly killed her. Silvercrest's golden new Luna tried to finish the job, sending warriors into the dark to make sure Haydee never crossed the border alive.
She crossed it anyway.
And the wolf who caught her was the one creature Silvercrest had taught her to fear: Hunter Grear, the savage Alpha of Nightfall, the enemy whispered about since childhood.
Hunter doesn't want her gratitude. He wants to know why a banished orphan carries a crest the world believes it buried eighteen years ago. A black moon, split by silver fire. The Moonborn mark. Proof of who Haydee was always meant to be.
Now the man who threw her away wants her again, and the bond in her chest can't tell the difference between love and damage.
The Luna who tried to bury her is still hunting the truth. And the rival Alpha who should have killed her is the only one who has ever seen her as worth protecting. Cole rejected his fated mate. He's about to learn what that mate can do.
She was nobody. She was never nobody.


"Well, little moon,"
he said. His voice was low and unhurried, carrying easily across the ravine. "
Your mate threw away something priceless."
I stared at him.
I knew who he was. Nightfall's Alpha, savage, lawless, the enemy, a wolf you did not approach and did not trust and did not survive.
Hunter Grear.
I was alive because of him. I did not know what that cost yet.

"Sign it. Save her, and I'll give you anything."
For four years, I was Damian Wright's "invisible wife".
While I played the pauper, he poured his soul into his dying first love. Desperate, he blindly signed a stack of papers to buy the "Gifted Doctor's" time.
He didn't read the fine print. Buried inside was our Divorce Decree.
"Congratulations, Damian," I said, stripping off my surgical mask to reveal the wife he never truly knew. "You're free."
The submissive Amelia is dead.
The legendary "Ghost Surgeon"? That's me.
The blindfolded racing queen "Raven"? Also me.
The shadow behind the global intelligence network? Still me.
I was ready to vanish, but Lucas Sullivan—the titan who makes the Wrights look like peasants—blocked my path.
When Damian tried to reclaim me, Lucas didn't just stop him; he brought an empire to its knees.
"They don't deserve to look at you," Lucas whispered, his touch a lethal mix of protection and obsession. "But if you crave the world, Amelia, I'll burn it down just to hear you say my name."

Translation

Zombies besieged the city. I fought through the infected zone alone and brought back the vaccine.

All of humanity hailed me as their savior.

But at the medal ceremony, my superior and fiancée Amy shoved me aside. "You're covered in blood. Stand over there. Would it kill you to be more like David?"

"A man who can't even bear to look at violence—that's what a civilized person looks like."

For the sake of being her idea of civilized, I locked away my weapons and spent three years as her errand boy. I took countless bullets meant for her, and still she complained I wasn't gentle enough.

Then the virus mutated. To save David, I crushed a Tyrant's skull with my bare hands.

She threw her arms around the trembling David, slammed the table, and screamed at me: "If you don't get this violent streak under control, you can forget about being the Chief's husband. Apologize to David. Now."

The vaccine I'd risked my life for—she used every last drop of it to win favor with her pretty boy.

I ejected the magazine from my rifle and tossed my medal into the rubble.

"That position of yours? Give it to whoever you want."

The night I collapsed at my desk from acute appendicitis, my husband’s phone rang thirty-seven times. He didn't answer a single one.
When he finally strolled into my hospital room the next day, his excuse was that he had been entertaining clients all night and his phone was on silent.
"A multi-million dollar contract versus a minor surgery—which do you think is more important?" Nathan asked, adjusting his cuffs. "As the CEO's wife, I’d expect you to have some sense of the bigger picture."
I didn't say a word. I just nodded.
Not because I agreed with him, but because the first thing I saw when I woke up from anesthesia was his secretary's latest social media post: a sky ablaze with green aurora, and Nathan with his arm around her shoulders, his back to the camera.
Thinking I had finally learned my place, my husband looked thoroughly satisfied. He casually mentioned that once things settled down, he would officially hand over my position as Project Director to her, "so you can relax a bit."
But he didn't know.
He didn't need to wait for things to settle down.
I didn't want the position anymore. I didn't want his company. And him? I didn't want him, either.

For ten silent years, I propped up a boy named Lycan—the least favored Alpha heir in his pack. Everyone said his bloodline was too thin, that he didn’t even deserve to compete for succession.

So I paved the way with money, used resources to help him awaken his bloodline, sent him to the best academy, and made sure he not only secured the position of pack’s new Alpha, but also crossed into the human world to become an Oscar-winning actor hailed by millions.

Tonight was his coronation and his Oscar night rolled into one. I sat in the shadows of the audience, watching him grip the trophy, debonair under the spotlight, genuinely happy for him. When his gaze skimmed across the crowd and landed on me, my chest warmed.
Did Lycan…notice me?

The next second, he faced the camera and spoke, frost-cold:
“I want to thank someone—she taught me what harassment really is.”

I was nine months pregnant when a sudden, agonizing cramp twisted through my abdomen.
But my husband, Nathaniel Voss, the Don of the Voss mafia family, had ordered his men to lock me inside the estate's underground holding cell.
All because he wanted to make sure I wouldn't give birth before another woman.
That woman was Isabella, the widow of his late brother.
And she was due to deliver her baby today, too.
According to the will left by the founder of the Voss family, the firstborn son would inherit the family empire.
Nathaniel firmly believed that his late brother's child was the one who deserved it all.
"The position of heir should have belonged to my brother's son in the first place."
He stood outside the iron bars, looking down at me with cold indifference.
"Isabella has already lost her husband. This child is all she has left. I won't let her lose anything else."
"As for you, Camille, I've given you more than enough. All you have to do is stay put until she delivers. I'll deal with your situation afterward."
I clutched my belly, trembling from the unbearable pain.
"Nathaniel, please. Take me to the hospital. I'm really in labor."
He grabbed my chin roughly.
"Stop putting on an act."
"You never married me because you loved me. All you ever wanted was the Voss family's money and power."
"You deliberately want to give birth before Isabella so your child can inherit the family."
My face turned deathly pale as I desperately shook my head.
"That's not true!"
"I'll sign whatever documents you want. I'll give up my right to the inheritance. I don't want any of it. Just please, save our baby!"
Nathaniel let out a cold laugh.
"If you really didn't care about the inheritance, you wouldn't have pressured Isabella into signing that renunciation agreement."
"Once she delivers safely, I'll come back for you. After all, the child you're carrying is my son, too."
With that, he turned and walked away.
He didn't even bother looking back.

As the old Don’s adopted daughter, I married the old Don’s son, Luciano.
Luciano also adopted a daughter, and after the old Don died, once he became the new Don, he declared he would marry her.
“When you adopted Sara, how old was she? Now she’s just come of age and you’ve already gotten her pregnant. All these years, was I raising your mistress for you?” My voice was trembling. “And more than that, you personally wiped out her entire family back then. Does she know?”
“Do you know why I spared Sara in the first place? Because she looked like someone. Emily, now that you’re old and no longer attractive, Sara just happens to satisfy my needs. Consider it compensation for her.”
I took our only daughter, Jenny, aborted the child I had just conceived for him, and planned to disappear from his world.

The world I live in is more dangerous than I realized, ruled by two secret organizations—the Dukes and the Lords, whom I've found myself entangled with—but not as dangerous as the treacherous man my father, a Duke of Veross City, insists I must marry. I ran away before he could sink his claws into me. I find myself forced to beg my former best friend—Alekos—for help. Alekos agrees, but he has a price. I must become not only his woman but also that of his two friends. What choice do I have? So I agree with his proposal.

I thought Alekos, Reyes, and Stefan would be my salvation, but they quickly show me they are like any other Lord—cruel, brutal, and heartless.

My father was right about one thing—the Lords destroy everything they touch. Can I survive these demons? My freedom depends on it.

I must endure all that Alekos, Reyes, and Stefan put me through until I can escape this savage city.

Only then will I finally be free. Or will I?

The Lords Series:
Book 1 - Shackled
Book 2 - Bought
Book 3 - Trapped 
Book 4 - Freed

The biggest mistake of my life was falling in love with the wrong man.
The second biggest mistake was betraying the only man who had ever loved me.
The third biggest mistake was not leaving Veross City while I had the chance.
Now, I’m trapped in a dark room while he watches me every moment of the day and night.
I don’t know his real name, only the number Azael gave him in the medical facility—514.
Each time I tried to communicate with 514, he looked at me with hatred in his eyes, so I stopped trying.
There are others in the house, but I never saw them. Sometimes, I think they are a flicker of my imagination, but then I hear them talking.
I want to ask the others to help me, but it’s impossible since 514 sewed my lips together, silencing me. - this is what I have for Trapped and I will change it since it's not telling at all


My fingers find their way into her hair, and I pull her head back.
“Where is my cock, little nymph?”
“In my ass,” she whimpers.
I keep slamming into her, sending waves of pleasure through our joined bodies.
“And do you like how hard I’m fucking you?”
“Yes! Please don’t stop.”
I take her at her word and don’t stop. Not for a long time. If there’s one thing that I don’t lack, it’s stamina, and how long I can last.
After her fifth orgasm from my cock in her ass, I stop counting.
At some point, I stop recording, drop my phone to my feet, and grab her hips with my hands and fuck her senseless. “Please cum,” she starts begging when her legs no longer support her. “Please!”

Sheetal's Soliloquy
I know you. You were the one who had been bothering me. With a chuckle, he replied, "I know you'll never forget me, Dolce." However, you made a small mistake. Honey, that wasn't harassment. That was my devotion to you. " He abruptly grabbed my waist as he spoke. I arched my back and stared at him, my eyes wide. This crazy boy has returned, but he is not the same as before. He is now more attractive.
When I thought, I coughed unexpectedly and said, "Excuse me." What's your name? "

He thought the worst thing he had ever done was losing me.

He was wrong.

Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.

Then he met me.

What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.

So I disappeared.

I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.

Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.

But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.

Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.

Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.

It's inside his own family.

Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.

Then someone comes for the people I love.

Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.

It's about whether he can keep me alive.

Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.

Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.

Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.

Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.

Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.

We were both wrong.

Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.

They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.

Pete Leadsilver lost me once.

This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

As Alessia Cora tries to forget her painful past and continue to reach her dreams, life will not allow her to enjoy those two. When she picked one and made a choice of fulfilling her dreams but leaving her pain aside, she’ll meet Asher Felix, the man she had chose to leave five years ago.
