Chapter 1
Sebastian Grey
I walked towards my granddad's study and I know it will be a bad news because nothing will come out good from that study room. I stood in front of the window and took a deep breath before opening the door entering his room.
"Pops, you called?" I asked as I closed the door. Pops was looking out the window enjoying the beautiful sunset. He gestured me to stand next to him so I walked towards him and stood beside the old man.
"How old are you again?" He asked as he turned to me.
"Turning 31 soon, why are you asking?"
"You know, I've been pretty patient waiting for you to bring me your girlfriend or maybe your future wife but.. you never introduced me to one." I let out a small chuckle.
"Do you have someone in mind? I'm actually waiting for you to introduce me to the woman of your choice." I know he has a couple of women inside his brilliant head. I'm not interested to find one myself because I know all of them are the same, they all want my money.
"Are you sure about that? I actually only have one in my mind." He said as he walked towards the sofa. I followed him and sat down facing him.
"Who?"
"We're actually going to have dinner together, she's coming in a few minutes." He said as he let out his evil smirk. I know that smirk won't have a good outcome for me.
"You can guarantee that I will like her?" I asked raising my right eyebrow.
"I think you will." He smiled at me and at the same time, there's a knock on the door. "Mr. Grey, you have guest waiting for you downstairs."
"She's here, let's go." He said as he got up from his seat. He walked out from his study first and I let out a long sigh before following him downstairs.
To be honest, I don't have any expectations about the woman that she's going to introduce to me. I don't really care who will end up being my wife because I think everything will be for publicity.
It's not that I don't believe in love, it's just I never experience it. I was too busy working and every woman that I've met, they all want what I have so I don't find it fun to deal with it in the future.
"Mr. Grey." I turned to where the voice came from and saw none other than Isabelle Orsino. Instantly I turned to my granddad because I'm convince that he's insane.
"Isabelle, it's been awhile since we've seen each other." Pops said as he gave her a brief hug. Isabelle then turned to me and she smiled.
"Sebastian." She greeted.
"Isabelle." I greeted her back even though I was still in shock. I really need to know why pops picked her and how on earth did she agree to this?
"Mr. Grey, it's time for you to eat your medicine." Henry, his butler, said.
"Right. I almost forgot about it. Give me 15 minutes, kids. You both have a short walk along the garden." Pops said and Henry led him to the living room. I turned to Isabelle and gestured her to follow me to the garden.
"I'm curious, what makes you agree to marry me?" I asked as we both walk side by side along the garden. Isabelle let out a small chuckle.
"What makes you think that I have a special reason to marry you?" That made me stop walking and turned to her. She gave me a small smile.
"You know that our families don't.. have the best relationship. You're the last person that I have in mind to be my wife." I said truthfully and she nodded.
"So you're going to back off?" She asked as she raised her right eyebrow. Before I could answer, she walks away.
"Isabelle, I think we should consider this marriage." I said and she ignored me by walking even further. I let out a long sigh and walked towards her.
"We'll end up divorcing anyway, why bother to marry each other in the first place?" I said and Isabelle stopped walking.
"We can sign a prenup if you're worried that I will take your money." She said in a cold tone and I was taken back for a second.
"Either we sign it or not, it won't work, Isabelle." I said and she turned to me.
"We can marry secretly and never tell anyone. How's that?"
"Why are you so eager? What's the point of marrying if we don't announce it to the world? You even offered to sign a prenup. What exactly do you have in mind?" I asked because this doesn't make any sense at all.
"We won't mind." I turned around to see pops standing with Billy Orsino, Isabelle's granddad.
"Pops, why are you agreeing to this? Aren't you both rivals?"
"I've always like you, Sebastian." Billy Orsino said as he walked towards me.
"Should we talk about this over dinner?" He asked and with that Isabelle walked back to the house. Billy patted my shoulder and followed Isabelle inside.
"Let's have dinner together." Pops said and I nodded. Pops when inside first and I followed him. Once we're inside, he led Billy and Isabelle to the dining room where there's already food on the table. Pops gestured me to sit beside him and Billy and Isabelle sat across me.
"Let's eat." Pops said and I ate my dinner in silent. Only pops and Billy are the ones who kept talking with each other.
After the maids clean the table, pops asked them to close the door for more privacy. Pops turned to me and he smiled.
"What do you think of your future bride?" He asked and I looked at her.
"I have no objection." I said and Isabelle looked straight at me.
"How about you Belle?" Billy asked her granddaughter.
"I have no objection as well."

3/ Rags and Ritches-
Human Capture (Up North #2)
Raised in a starving settlement choked by a vast, unforgiving forest, Lara learned early that survival has a price. To keep her family alive, she became a master hunter—agile, silent, and deadly with an array of mismatched blades. But the forest has eyes, and one evening, the shadows dragged her away.
Nine months later, Lara breaks free from a concrete dungeon, only to find herself stranded in the lawless, rogue-infested wilds of Avers Land alongside four captured werewolf girls. Seeking refuge in the neighboring territory of Illyen, she expects to find a way back to her human life. Instead, she is brought face-to-face with Alpha Rowan, the terrifying, ruthless ruler of the frozen North.

But a human cannot survive the brutal political landscape of the North, and Rowan openly rejects the bond, dragging her onto a warship bound for a kingdom that views her as a fragile liability. Trapped between a mate who refuses to love her and a court of monsters waiting for her to break, Lara must use every hunter's instinct she possesses. Because in the realm of wolves, a human must either grow claws of her own—or perish in the snow.
Lethal Web of Mafia's Revenge (Sequal to "Innocent in Mafia's Web)
He was a beast inhabiting this mansion, inflicting inhuman torture on my poor soul. He had created a living hell for me, this pitiful girl, within his castle.
On this cold winter night, he threw my wounded body into the icy pool, arrogantly enjoying it all, drinking and smoking expensive cigars. A satisfied, cold smile played on his lips as he reveled in my pain. His face was filled with the darkness of sin.
“How...more...am I…still…standing?” I stammered, my lips trembling.
Zain paused, thinking. Then, turning away from her, he replied:
“Until you die!”
With that, he left. As he wished. At that moment, my wish came true; I died.
But not in a frozen pool; I was struck in the head by a bullet from afar, blood splattering everywhere—that was far more gruesome.
My consciousness began to fade, but suddenly, I opened my eyes again and found myself mopping the floor in an ordinary restaurant.
I was startled: What happened? I was reborn? This is unbelievable!
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?

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...
