Introduction
But he was lying to me for five long years.
Everything changed in an instant. Watching our daughter hang from a broken roller coaster, Julian didn’t attempt to save her. Instead, he reached for his phone to call his mistress.
To him, she wasn’t a child in peril; she was just a chance to wipe out a 'mistake' and start fresh with someone who had been in our lives since the very beginning of our marriage.
Now, people see me as a heartbroken mother and an ashamed wife. Julian thinks he’s buried me under his web of lies and his influence. But he overlooked one crucial point: I have nothing more to lose, and I'm ready to settle a score.
With the one man Julian fears most by my side, I’m stepping back into the light. And by the time I’m through, he’ll understand that the woman he treated like a pawn is the very one who will bring his whole world crashing down.
Chapter 1
Up at a thousand feet, the wind whisks by. It feels like a thin blade slicing through the air, mocking the frantic rhythm of my heart.
I clung to the cold railing of the observation deck, my knuckles white as I stared at the stalled carriage of the 'Sky-High' roller coaster.
My little girl, Daisy, was stuck in the front seat, just a tiny, colorful dot against the scary blue horizon.
"Julian, please!" I shouted, my voice cracking in the wind. "The technician said the emergency brake is failing. You need to call the private rescue team right now!"
My husband, Julian Miller, didn’t even glance at the coaster. He was fixated on his phone, his thumb hovering over a green button. His handsome face, usually so composed, twisted into a mask of cold indifference.
"Sarah is having a panic attack, Claire," he said, his voice disturbingly calm, the kind of calm that seethes before chaos. "She’s at the clinic. Says she can’t breathe. She thinks the baby’s at risk."
Baby? This is very ridiculous!!
"Sarah's at a clinic because she stubbed her toe!" I lunged for his arm, but he stepped back, a flash of violent hatred igniting in his eyes. "Our daughter is hanging by a literal bolt! Julian, for god’s sake, look at her!"
"I’m looking at the daughter of the woman who spent a night in Arthur Vance’s hotel suite," he spat.
His words hit me like a punch to the gut.
Two years ago, when the Miller Group was on the verge of bankruptcy, I had gone to Arthur, Julian’s fiercest rival, to beg for a bridge loan.
Arthur had agreed, but it came with a cost: I had to stay in his suite for twenty-four hours to show the world that Julian couldn't protect his own wife.
Nothing happened that night. Arthur worked at his desk while I curled up on the sofa, crying. But by morning, the loan was secured, and Julian’s business was saved. He smiled, kissed my forehead, and called me his savior.
He’d been lying to me for two years.
"You said you trusted me," I whispered, tears blurring my sight. "You said you knew it was just business."
"I said what I needed to say to keep the money," Julian sneered. Now he looked at the coaster, but there was no warmth in his gaze, only a chilling, calculated cruelty. "But I’ve seen how Arthur looks at you in those board meetings. And I’ve seen the paternity results I got last week."
"What results? Julian, she’s yours! Just look at her eyes, they're yours!"
"The paper says otherwise." He tucked his phone away. "Sarah’s baby is the only heir I'm concerned about now. If Daisy falls... well, maybe that’s just the universe sorting out your mess."
He turned and started walking towards the waiting elevator.
"Julian! No! Don’t leave us here!"
I tried to follow him, but his security team blocked my way. Two huge guys in black suits, whose salaries I helped pay, stood like stone walls between a mother and her child.
I watched the elevator doors shut on Julian's face. He didn’t even flinch.
Turning back to the coaster, a sickening clack-clack-clack echoed around me. The carriage groaned, tipping forward a bit more. Then I heard Daisy’s scream, high-pitched, terrified.
"Mommy! Mommy, help me!"
My heart felt like it was being ripped apart. I fished my phone out of my pocket, my fingers hovering over a contact I hadn’t dared to touch in years, a man I’d promised Julian I wouldn’t speak to again.
I hit call, and it picked up on the first ring.
"Claire?" Arthur Vance’s voice was deep and calm, completely devoid of the cruelty I’d just faced.
"Arthur," I gasped, watching the roller coaster carriage shudder again. "I’m at the Grand Park. Julian left. He abandoned Daisy on the broken coaster. He thinks… he thinks she isn’t his."
There was a pause on the other line, then the sound of a chair scraping back. "I’m five minutes away by chopper. Hang on, Claire. Do you hear me? Don’t let go."
"He’s going to let her die, Arthur. He’ll let her fall to make Sarah happy."
"I won't let that happen," Arthur replied, his tone dropping to a menacing, icy level. "And when she’s safe, Claire… I’ll help you ruin his life."
I hung up, my heart raging against my ribcage. Some minutes later, a loud snap rang through the park. The front bolt of the carriage sheared off.
Time slowed as I watched the metal car tip. Daisy screamed one last time before the car flipped completely, plummeting toward the concrete below.
"NO!" I screamed, throwing myself against the railing, my vision fading to black.

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
CHASING GHOSTS
Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
The Legacy Game
When scholarship student Chris Linds stumbles onto a mystery someone has killed to protect, she becomes the next target. The only person standing between her and death is Ashen Ford, the academy's cold, untouchable Student Council President—and heir to one of Corvain's founding families.
As anonymous invitations summon twelve students into the legendary Legacy Game, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and every challenge brings another deadly truth to light. But the greatest secret isn't who will win.
It's why one winner vanished without a trace... and why someone will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
The rejected white luna
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
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.

Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps.

But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
