Introduction
Shen Linze sent me a menu and told me to cook everything myself.
He invited all his close friends, plus the girl he was chasing, saying it was a birthday party for me.
On the long dining table were the stir-fried dishes I’d spent three hours rushing to make.
Shen Linze picked up a piece of sweet and sour spareribs and carefully held it to the girl’s mouth.
“Yaoyao, have a taste. I asked Su Qingyan to make them specially—they’re all your favorite dishes.”
The girl sitting in the main seat didn’t react at all.
Shen Linze put down his chopsticks and told the servants to wheel out a custom-made multi-layer cake.
“Do you like it? I designed this just for you. It has the place where we first met, your prettiest smile,
your favorite flowers, your favorite color purple, the wedding you’ve always wanted, and the initials of your name: ZY…”
Three months ago, I’d seen that exact cake design in Shen Linze’s office.
After he finished the design, he brought in several top pastry chefs from abroad and spent three months making it.
My birthday was coming soon, and I’d thought the “ZY” on the cake stood for the last characters of both our names.
I never knew it was just my own foolish wishful thinking.
Chapter 1
After remarrying, my husband Aaron Hill asked me to cook.
He called over his good friends, along with the girl he was pursuing.
"Anna, try it and see how it tastes? I had Sophia make it specially—all your favorite dishes."
Anna Sarah remained unmoved.
Aaron put down his utensils and had the servants wheel out a custom-made multi-tier cake.
Anna glanced at the cake, her tone flat, "Aaron, I've told you many times—I don't like getting close to married men. Instead of trying to please me this way, why don't you go comfort your wife? I remember you two just reconciled less than a year ago. Aren't you afraid she'll make a scene again?"
Hearing this, Aaron's lips curved slightly.
"She's just an old woman. The one I truly love is you."
Chapter 1
I stood at the doorway holding a plate, numb.
After two years of marriage, I knew Aaron's temper best.
As the heir to the corporation, he chose to marry me to secure his position as CEO.
I thought he loved me, but I was wrong.
His mother, Haven Hill, had seen through his nature long ago. She once told me, "Men all like to play around. He'll probably cheat again in the future. If you can't take it anymore and want to leave, you can come to me. I can arrange your divorce and compensate you with whatever you want."
Aaron, since you like chasing novelty so much, I might as well let you have it completely.
I untied my apron and sent out a message.
[Mom, I want to divorce Aaron. Also, I want a spot in the International Piano Competition.]
Soon, I got a reply.
[Give me three days.]
I had just replied when I heard Anna's voice.
"Mrs. Hill, why are you standing there? Is my favorite Tortilla de Mariscos ready?"
Everyone looked at me, including Aaron.
He frowned and let go of Anna's hand.
His friend quickly stood up.
"Sophia, don't misunderstand—we took it upon ourselves to invite her."
"Don't take it the wrong way! We meant well. For a birthday, the more people the merrier."
Anna glanced at me sideways, "You're Mrs. Hill? I'm sure you saw what just happened. Please control your husband. He harasses me every day, causing me quite a bit of trouble."
I laughed softly, "Maybe some mistresses just enjoy that sense of superiority. Or maybe Aaron prefers being controlled by his mistress."
"You're calling me a mistress?"
Anna's eyes filled with tears, her innocent face showing defiance.
"Aaron, I may come from humble beginnings, but I'm pure and have never been in a relationship. Many men have pursued me, but I haven't even let them touch my hand, let alone married men."
"But now your wife is calling me a mistress. You'd better give me a reasonable explanation. Otherwise, don't see me again!"
Only then did Aaron stand up.
He walked to my side, his tone gentle but carrying an undertone that I must obey.
"Honey, you shouldn't bully a young girl. Apologize to Anna quickly."
"Me apologize?" I scoffed. "Aaron, the one who should apologize is you. Have you forgotten the vows you made a year ago?"
"If you hadn't made a scene back then, would I have said those things? Just apologize."
Aaron's face darkened as he gripped my wrist tightly.
"Be good, honey. This is the first time I've met such a pure girl. She's different from other women. I really want to experience what a virgin feels like. If I can't see her anymore, I'll be very sad."
The word "pure" cut deep—if I hadn't saved him back then, I wouldn't have been raped.
I took a deep breath, "What if I refuse?"
"Then don't blame me."
Aaron made a phone call, and two bodyguards rushed in from outside.
"Do you really have to force me?"
Aaron slowly released my wrist.
"Honey, can't we avoid making this awkward? I really can't bear to hurt you."
"I said I won't apologize!"
"Do it then. Be gentle—my wife is afraid of pain."
Aaron waved his hand.
The bodyguards pressed me firmly onto the cold floor, forcing me to kneel.
At that moment, my heartbreak hurt more than my knees.
I stubbornly looked up and caught Anna's victorious smile.
"Mr. Hill, so you really are sincere about me! I agree to have dinner with just you tonight. I wonder if Mr. Hill will choose to go out with me or stay home and celebrate his wife's birthday?"
"In my heart, you'll never be a choice."
With that, Aaron bent down and helped me up with tender eyes, "Be good, honey. Go home and wait. I'll come back to be with you right after dinner."
"Whatever."
I didn't look at him. I straightened my clothes, turned around, and went back to the bedroom.
This time, I won't look back.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
Bound by the Dragon Mafia
The head chef looked like he was silently praying for death.
I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”
She spun around, delighted. “Sera! Good, you’re here. Taste this. It’s missing despair.”
The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.
I grabbed her arm. “Put the spatula down.”
“But—”
“Down.”
With exaggerated offense, she dropped the spatula and muttered, “Fine. But if no one here has artistic vision, that’s not my fault.”
She went undercover to expose a mafia empire.
He offered her thirty nights to save her life.

Finlay isn't her mate, but he becomes her best friend. Together with the other top wolves in the pack, they work to create the best and strongest pack.

Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
