Introduction
Their worlds were never meant to clash, but through knowing each other their lives unraveled.
"Don't think about Malcolm because I am not him. I will treat you better, give you the desires of your heart, showered you with kisses that will make you weak at the knees, even go as far as giving you my heart, but just don't leave me," he said looking lost as he pulled her closer supporting her some more.
"No, no, not again," I murmured as my heart rate increased.
"Then this is what is going to happen. Tomorrow we are getting married I don't care if you have to be in bed for the ceremony but so be it. We are going to live together as man and wife, and I am going to f***k that idiot out of your system until I am the only one in your mind, until you long for only my touch.....
Chapter 1
"What the..." Marcellus Martinez cursed as he swerved his car out of the road.
Out of nowhere a woman had run onto the empty street clutching her stomach. It was raining cats and dogs as he stepped out of his car ready to shout at the crazy lunatic.
"What is your problem? Matter of fact woman are a nuisance, can't you see where you are going?"
"Please help me," she whispered before passing out.
Looking down at the still, bleeding figure he muttered a string of curses under his breath as he contemplated on what to do. A car slowed down coming to a halt as the driver jumped out of the car.
"What happened," she asked pulling out her phone.
"I don't know, she just ran out of nowhere," he said in a flat tone.
"Help me get her into my car. She is losing a lot of blood," the woman yelled out.
Lowering down he scooped her up as her head rested on his shoulder. A flash of lighting illuminated the sky as he walked towards the woman's car whilst he caught a glimpse of the woman making him frown. Placing her in the car he turned to leave without as much as a backward glance.
"Wait where are you going? I need your help. We need to slow down the bleeding."
"Do I look like a medical doctor to you?"
The woman looked shocked as he continued to walk away from the car.
"Please sir," she called out as he reached his car. Sighing he locked his car after parking it away from the road and headed back to the other car.
"You can drive," she said as she slid into the back of the car.
Nyasha's POV
"Miss. Can you try sit up for me," I heard as I opened my eyes to find myself in a cool, sterile room.
Each movement was painful. Malcolm had really done a number on me as I looked down to find think bandages around my abdomen.
You are probably wondering what happened to me, and who Malcolm is.
Malcolm is my husband and he is the reason I am in hospital. After spending all of his salary on alcohol with his buddies he expected for me to provide a meal when he refused for me to work resulting in no food being present in the house. This was not the first time tasting my own blood in my mouth, but it was the first time being admitted into hospital. Now aside from worrying how I would face him again, I wondered where I would get money for the hospital bills.
"Ma'am can you hear me," Dr Alexis said with a worried look as I caught sight of her name tag.
"Hmmm, yes, yes. I am fine thank you. I need to leave. How much is all this going to be?"
"Don't worry the bill has already been taken care of."
Looking at her completely puzzled, I asked who had paid as she began telling me what had happened. Handing over the card I looked at the name. Marcellus Martinez it read.
"Martinez, Martinez. As in Marcellus Martinez of Martinez Industries. No anyone else but him," I cried. "He was Malcolm's boss and from what Malcolm had mention the man was ruthless. Never talking much but had a sharp temper.
"He helped me bring you here. Just go thank him at least," Alexis said knowing what must have been going on in my mind.
"Umm Mr Martinez?" He heard his secretary mutter.
"Spit it out. I don't have all day."
"You have a visitor," she said looking at the bedraggled state of Nyasha with a frown. She stood out like a sore thumb, her dark chocolate skin, short hair and oversized clothes.
"Five minutes is all I have to spare," he said ending the call.
"You may go in," the secretary said looking worried.
Knocking on the door she waited to hear a response. Hearing his deep clipped voice she entered the office her heart hammering against her chest. As she walked in he kept staring down at his papers a scowl marking his features. As he looked at her she felt ashamed as blue eyes roamed from her toes to her head. This was her best dress but knew in others eyes it looked pathetic.
"How may I help you," he said with a frown.
"I..I I'm the lady you saved yesterday. I just wanted to say thank you," she said softly before looking down. "If there is any way I can repay you please let me know. So I can at least pay off my debt to you."
"Do I look like I am in need of anything? Like I am lacking?"
"No, not at all sir," she said as she began to tremble out of fear.
He frowned at her state before saying, "If you are done I have a meeting to attend to. I am sure you know the way out."
Walking out of his office she spotted Malcolm who had an angry scowl on his face.
"Don't even think of coming home if you want to live. You are an embarrassment," he said angrily.
As Marcellus left his office he saw the exchange between Malcolm and the young lady from earlier.

The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
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?
Taming Her Playboy Bully
Mates: Regrets and Redemption
With my heart in pieces, I sought solace in the last place I expected—my Alpha's arms. One night turned into a dangerous entanglement, and now my Alpha refuses to let me go. As the Alpha’s obsession grows, I'm caught in a web of desire and fear.
Curtis, the boy I once loved, still holds a promise I made, but the Alpha’s powerful presence pulls me deeper into his world. Should I forgive Curtis and keep my word, or should I risk everything for a chance at something wild and unpredictable with the Alpha who won’t take no for an answer?
“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."

Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
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."

Even worse was overhearing Darrell laugh to his friends: "She's useful—obedient, doesn't cause trouble, handles housework, and I can fuck her whenever I need relief. She's basically a live-in maid with benefits." He made crude thrusting gestures, sending his friends into laughter.
