As the day goes by and the torments continues, Michelle doubts that Derek's feelings for her are genuine, which leads her to her breaking point, but someone shows up along the way. That someone brought Michelle back on her feet, made her know what love is, against every opposition.
But what if that someone isn't an ex, but Derek's brother?
Will Derek let Michelle have the happiness she deserves, or will he fight for the love of his life?
Chapter 1
Michelle Stewart, a twenty nine year old beautiful lady with light brown hair, grey eyes, pointed nose and a plump pink lips. She s five feet eight inches tall with a body to die for.
Her dad is late, he died of cancer while her mom is a stay home mom. Michelle s father owns fancy restaurants in different cities of Washington which she currently manages.
Michelle is in a relationship with Derek, the son of a renowned businessman in the country. They ve been together for over four years and are still going strong.
Michelle was done with work for the day, so she decided to give Derek a call.
"Hey baby" she greeted as soon as he picked her call.
"Hey love"
Michelle felt like melting at the sound of his voice. They ve been together for quite awhile but she always felt butterflies erupt in her stomach whenever she hears that husky voice of his.
"Are you back from work?" she asked.
"Not yet. I still have a few things to take care of" He replied.
"Okay. I just wanted to let you know that I won t be making dinner tonight cos I m sooo tired. So, I was thinking of getting us Chinese. Would that be okay?" she asked while playing with the tip of her hair.
"You re free to do whatever you want, babe. You know I m your humble slave"
She blushed at his remark.
"I can t wait to see you" He continued.
Michelle was glad that he wasn t presently in front of her to see how crimson her cheeks had turned.
"Me too love" She replied.
"I better not distract you from what you were doing"
"You know you re welcome to distract me anytime"
"Okay, stop this now and go back to work" she commanded with a huge smile on her face.
Derek just chuckled because he was certain she was already red with embarrassment, which was why she wanted to end the call.
"Okay beautiful, I m only going to do so cos you asked… I love you" He then said.
"Love you too" She replied and then hung up.
After the call, she tidied her desk, collected her purse and walked out of the office, locking the door behind her.
Michelle told her most trusted employee, Sam that she was leaving, so he was now in charge. Sam acted as the manager whenever Michelle was absent.
She walked out of the restaurant and climbed into her silver Mercedes SLR McLaren Derek got for her on her twenty eight birthday.
Michelle stopped at a Chinese restaurant and ordered some Chinese takeout. After that she headed home.
Michelle drove into the beautiful compound with a well designed modern mansion. It s landscape is very large with an outdoor infinity pool. She got out of her car and went into the mansion, heading straight to the kitchen to re-heat the meal in the microwave. After re-heating the meal, she went into their bedroom and took off her heels and peach jacket, and remained in her white tank top and black skinny pants.
Inside the bedroom, was a king sized bed in the middle and a bench at the foot of the bed, with a TV right in front of the bed. There were two nightstands on each side of the TV with flower vase on each stand. The bedroom was predominantly designed with fine wood, with a touch of cream and brown.
The bathroom and walk in closet were on the right side of the bedroom.
Michelle decided to go to the living room to watch TV. While she was surfing through the TV, the front door opened revealing Derek in a navy blue suit and tie, with a white shirt and a pair of brogues.
Derek Howard Jr is a thirty year old man. He has a tanned skin, six feet three inches tall with a very black long hair and captivating grey eyes. He is ruggedly handsome with a broad and masculine body features.
Michelle ran up to him and gave him a tight hug. He dropped his briefcase and lifted her up by her thighs, causing her to wrap her legs around his torso and locked her lips with his in a passionate kiss.
"It looks like someone really missed me a lot today" Derek said with a light chuckle.
Michelle blushed and buried her face in the crook of his neck. Derek walked into the living room with Michelle still in his arms and gently put her down on the couch.
"How was your day at work?" she asked.
"Boring as always. I couldn t wait to come back home" He replied.
"Why don t you go take a shower while I set the table" She said, handing him his briefcase.
"Yes boss" He replied and gave her a quick kiss before heading upstairs.
After shower, Derek came downstairs to join Michelle in the dining room. He was now casual, wearing a black t-shirt and sweatpants. His long hair now poured out and slightly wet.
Michelle couldn t help but stare. She loved Derek s long hair so much and sometimes envied the fact that a guy could have hair this long.
"Nathan called me earlier today" Derek began.
"Really?! How is he doing?"
"He is fine. He called to let me know that he ll be returning to Washington"
"That s nice" Michelle replied.
"He said he d come live with us for awhile before he gets his own place, that s if you don t mind?"
"I don t mind at all… When will he be coming down, so I can make preparations and get the guest room ready?" she asked.
"He ll be coming on Saturday"
"That s five days from today… Then I have to call the cleaning agency tomorrow to come do some clean-up"
Derek gave a shrug.
"Do what you want, babe"

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 Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.
Invincible Upon Release: The Strongest Mage
Her family looked down on him, and even she herself said coldly: “You’re not worthy of being my husband.”
Everyone thought this newly released good-for-nothing was just a poor fool who’d taken the fall for his brother.
Thorne said nothing.
He merely raised his hand, gently pressing his bride’s forehead.
In an instant, the chaos in her eyes faded. Holy light surged from beneath the church, shooting into the sky.
The world’s only candidate for the Saintess, blessed with holy power, slowly opened her clear eyes before him.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

I open my mouth to respond, but all that comes out is a staggered breath and a small sigh. He chuckles, a low, rough rumble and then leans down and kisses the middle of my back.
