Introduction
Four years later, our twins returned to Aurora Bay and scorned their father, "What's the use of being handsome? A useless coward like you doesn't deserve our mommy!"
Desperate to win us back, he began to plead frantically, "Babies, I'm sorry. It was all my fault!"
Chapter 1
The Suburban Café.
Elizabeth Jones was fidgeting in a booth, eyes locked on her boyfriend, Anthony Thomas.
"Anthony," she grabbed his sleeve, her voice shaky, "What are we gonna do?"
Anthony sat across from her, lips pressed tight, nervously fiddling with his coffee cup.
"Elizabeth, chill. Let me think," he muttered.
"How can I chill? Tomorrow I'm supposed to marry your uncle. But you're my boyfriend," Elizabeth said, her brows furrowing as she bit her lip. "Anthony, I've made up my mind. I won't let my stepmom and her crew push me around. I'm not marrying Michael Thomas. Anthony," she grabbed his hand, "let's just run away together!"
Anthony yanked his hand back like it was on fire, stammering, "E-Elizabeth, w-we gotta think this through. No one knows you're my girl. If the Thomas Family finds out I took you, I'm toast."
Seeing her face drop, he quickly added, "How about this? You act clueless and go through with the wedding. Then wait for my call. Okay? Don't stress, Elizabeth. I'll get you out. Even if things go south, Michael's not gonna last long anyway, he's in a coma. Once he's gone, I'll come for you! Trust me. I won't abandon you!"
Elizabeth's face softened into a smile.
Seeing the gorgeous Elizabeth, Anthony thought he might have to reconsider his plan.
The next day, at the Thomas Family Wedding Venue.
In front of the dressing mirror, Elizabeth was all dolled up.
She boasted a tall, slender build with an elegant poise.
The wedding dress was custom-made and fit her like a glove. The white fabric hugged her curves, the hem brushing her ankles.
She was slender but had all the right curves.
Her skin was flawless, and her makeup made her glow like a blooming red rose.
The mirror reflected her stunning face.
But her beautiful almond-shaped eyes were filled with anxiety.
With twenty minutes left until the ceremony, she kept swiping her phone, anxiously waiting for a reply.
She had been waiting for Anthony's come, but she couldn't figure out why it hadn't come.
She couldn't wait any longer.
Actually, this wedding had only a bride.
The groom was missing.
Six months ago, a car accident left Michael bedridden and in a coma.
Doctors said he had less than a year to live.
His mom, Mary Smith, was devastated.
Thinking it was a real tragedy for Michael to go through such a mess at a young age, Mary decided to set up a marriage for him while he was still breathing.
Even though the Thomas Family was top-tier in Aurora Bay, no one wanted to marry their daughter off to a guy on his deathbed.
Plus, Elizabeth already had Anthony.
She got up from the chair, clutching her phone, and found an excuse to leave the room.
There were too many people in the dressing room, so she couldn't make a call.
But she had to hit up Anthony ASAP.
She needed to know how Anthony planned to help her bail on the wedding.
If it weren't for her stepmom Jennifer Johnson and stepsister Patricia Jones's dirty tricks, she wouldn't be in this mess.
Lifting the heavy wedding dress with both hands, she lumbered down the hallway in high heels, looking for a quiet spot to call Anthony.
As she passed a lounge, she stopped.
She heard her sister Patricia's laughter.
The lounge door was left ajar so that Elizabeth peeked through the crack.
"Anthony, my dumb sister is probably still waiting for you to save her from that wedding! Why don't you go and check on her in case she changes her mind and cancel the wedding?" Patricia was clinging to Anthony, who was in a suit, in the room.
Anthony held Patricia's waist, his right hand sliding up her thigh.
Their bodies were pressed tight together.
Anthony were kissing Patricia's neck frantically as he mumbled, "Elizabeth is such a fool. There's no way she's gonna cancel the wedding or tries to run away. It's all settled. The Thomas family's bodyguards will drag her back to finish the wedding if necessary."
Elizabeth stood outside the door, her blood turning to ice.
That voice had once whispered so many sweet nothings in her ear!
Was it Anthony?
In her moment of helplessness, Anthony was here, getting cozy with Patricia behind her back!
Elizabeth was stunned, her body swaying as she steadied herself against the wall.
Patricia's shrill voice reached her ears, "Anthony, how do you think Elizabeth would react if she find out you spent countless nights with me?"
Elizabeth's mind was spinning, her vision going dark. Luckily, she held onto the wall to keep from falling.
Her fingers clenched her wedding gown, her body trembling with suppressed rage. She shut her eyes, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill.
Her father, Robert Jones, was having a financial snag in business and facing bankruptcy.
In his distress, he had fallen seriously ill.

I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
