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"

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.

Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.

Accardi
“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.

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?
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.
After Divorce，I Became His Only Love
Then, on their wedding anniversary, she walked into his private club and heard him whisper to another woman: "Take care of our baby."
The woman was his brother's wife.
Everything—the gentleness, the restraint, the so-called love—had been an elaborate performance. And when Serena demanded a divorce, Leo didn't beg. He didn't apologize. He smiled and said: "Your grandmother wouldn't want that."
Now Serena must fight her way out of a marriage designed to cage her, a family that wants her silent, and a past that still has teeth. But the man who appears from the shadows to help her… is the same one who abandoned her years ago.
And he has secrets of his own.
