Chapter 1
Chapter 1
In the bustling city of New York, Emily was on cloud nine. After years of hard work, she had finally landed her dream job at one of the most prestigious law firms in the city.
As she sat at her new desk, surrounded by towering stacks of legal papers, Emily couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. She had made it.
But her elation was short-lived when she received a call from her parents, who were on her case about settling down and getting married.
"You're not getting any younger, Emily," her mother had said.
"We want grandchildren, you know."
Emily had always felt pressured by her parents to get married and start a family, but she wasn't interested in that kind of life.
She was focused on her career and had always felt like marriage would be a distraction.
But her parents didn't understand that. They wanted her to follow in their footsteps and become a successful lawyer and a devoted spouse and parent.
As Emily was mulling over her parents' phone call, her boss, Mr. Johnson, entered her office.
"Emily, I have a new case for you," he said, handing her a file.
"It's a high-profile divorce case between a billionaire businessman and his estranged wife. The catch is that the prenuptial agreement states that if he doesn't have a child within five years of the marriage, he'll lose half of his fortune to his wife. And guess what? They've been married for four and a half years."
Emily couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"So what do you want me to do?" she asked.
"I want you to negotiate a contract marriage between our client, Ethan, and a suitable candidate who can bear him a child within the next six months. The contract will last for five years, during which time the couple will live together, have a child, and then go their separate ways. Ethan will pay the candidate a handsome sum of money for her services, and in return, he'll get to keep his fortune."
Emily was taken aback by the proposal. She had never heard of such a thing before.
"So you want me to find a woman who will marry a complete stranger and have a child with him just for the money?" she asked.
"Think of it as a business arrangement," Mr. Johnson replied.
"Our client is a wealthy man who wants to protect his assets. He's not interested in love or romance. He just wants to secure his future. And as for the candidate, she'll be compensated handsomely for her time and effort. It's a win-win situation."
Emily wasn't sure what to make of the proposal.
On the one hand, it seemed like a crazy idea.
On the other hand, she was drowning in student loans and desperately needed the money. She didn't know what to do.
As she was pondering the offer, her best friend and colleague, Sarah, walked into her office.
"Hey, what's up?" Sarah asked, noticing the file in Emily's hand.
Emily hesitated before telling Sarah about the contract marriage proposal. Sarah's eyes widened as Emily explained the situation.
"That's insane," Sarah said.
"There's no way you should do that."
"But Sarah, I need the money," Emily said.
"I'm drowning in debt. And besides, it's just a business arrangement. It's not like I'm marrying for love or anything."
"But Emily, what about your morals?" Sarah asked.
"What about your dignity? You can't just sell yourself like that."
Emily didn't know what to say. She knew that Sarah was right, but she also knew that she needed the money. She was torn between her principles and her financial situation.
Emily spent the next few days mulling over the contract marriage proposal.
She couldn't shake the feeling that it was wrong, but at the same time, she desperately needed the money.
She decided to do some research on contract marriages and discovered that they were more common than she had thought.
She also learned that many women had entered into such marriages for financial reasons.
Some were struggling to make ends meet, while others were trying to pay off debts or save for their children's education.
Emily realized that she wasn't alone in her predicament and that there were many women out there who were in a similar situation.
She discussed the proposal with Sarah again, who remained skeptical. But Emily had made up her mind. She was going to find a suitable candidate for the contract marriage.
She began by scouring social media and online dating sites, looking for women who fit the criteria.
She contacted several candidates, explaining the proposal and offering them the opportunity to meet with Ethan and discuss the terms of the contract. But most of them were either skeptical or outright refused.
Emily was starting to lose hope when she received an email from a woman named Melissa.
Melissa was a single mother who was struggling to make ends meet. She had recently lost her job and was facing eviction from her apartment. She was desperate for money and was willing to consider the contract marriage proposal.
Emily arranged for Melissa to meet with Ethan, and they hit it off immediately. Ethan was a charming and handsome man who made Melissa feel comfortable and at ease. They discussed the terms of the contract, and Melissa agreed to the proposal.
Emily felt relieved that she had found a suitable candidate, but she couldn't help feeling guilty about what she had done.
She knew that she had exploited Melissa's desperation for financial gain, and it weighed heavily on her conscience.
Emily had been so embarrassed she had to beg that Sarah cover for her and pretend to be the lawyer.
At first, everything went smoothly. Melissa and Ethan got along well, and they seemed to have a genuine connection.
Emily (Sarah) visited them regularly to make sure that everything was going according to plan. She was relieved to see that Melissa was happy and content.
But as time went on, Emily began to notice cracks in the relationship.
Melissa started to feel like she was just a means to an end for Ethan, and she began to resent him for it.
Ethan, on the other hand, was becoming increasingly distant and aloof, as if he didn't really care about Melissa at all.
Emily tried to intervene, but it was clear that the contract marriage was clearly not going to work out for both parties.
Melissa was struggling to come to terms with the fact that she was essentially being paid to be a surrogate mother, while Ethan was beginning to feel trapped by the arrangement.
Ethan and Melissa decided to put an end to everything and not go on with it anymore.
Ethan changed the terms and decided he would marry whoever was brought to him next.
"I am just done trying, just give me whoever" Ethan had said.
A few days went by, and Emily couldn't stop thinking about the proposal.
She had never been one to take risks, but she couldn't shake the idea of the large sum of money that would be coming her way if she agreed to the contract marriage.
The more she thought about it, the more she convinced herself that it was just a business transaction, and she wouldn't be compromising her morals.
Eventually, Emily made up her mind. She called Mr. Johnson and told him she was in. He was thrilled and said he would send over the details of the contract to her office.
When Emily received the contract, she was taken aback by the legal jargon and the numerous clauses.
She read through it carefully, making sure she understood every word, but it all seemed too good to be true.
Ethan was offering her a huge sum of money, a luxurious apartment in the city, and even a brand new car.
Emily signed the contract, feeling a mix of excitement and trepidation.
She didn't know what the future held, but she was hopeful that everything would work out.
The next day, Emily met Ethan for the first time.
He was tall, dark, and handsome, with piercing blue eyes and a chiseled jawline.
Emily couldn't help but feel a little intimidated by him, but she tried to put on a brave face.
"Emily, it's nice to finally meet you," Ethan said, extending his hand.
"Likewise," Emily replied, shaking his hand.
Ethan was charming and charismatic, and he had a way of putting Emily at ease.
They chatted for a while, discussing the details of the contract and what was expected of both of them.
"You seem like a smart woman, Emily," Ethan said.
"I'm sure we'll be able to make this work."
Emily nodded, still a little nervous. She couldn't believe she was actually doing this, but it was too late to back out now.
Over the next few weeks, Emily and Ethan spent a lot of time together, getting to know each other and preparing for their new life together.

BROKEN TRUST
Neither of them knew she was carrying his child.
Emily’s affair didn’t just end her marriage—it erased the life she thought was guaranteed. Ryan left without looking back, carrying his anger like armor and leaving Emily alone with regret she would never outrun. Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love.

But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
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. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
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?
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.
