Introduction
On their anniversary party, Cara discovers a shocking secret about an intimate relationship with Jessica and Chris, and apparently, everyone around knew about it except for her! Devastated and heartbroken, she filed for a divorce and headed back home to her parents.
Somewhere else lies a rich and successful artist and CEO of a famous art museum, Romeo Armani, who is desperate for true love. Romeo and Cara are actually best friends since childhood, but when he asked her to come with him to France to further their career two years ago, Cara had rejected his offer to be married to Chris, although this is a sweet lie she tells herself. She couldn't dare state the real reason she left Romeo.
Chris threatens to ruin Cara's career after a lie he hears from Jessica in an attempt to make him despite Cara.
However, Romeo mocks him for making such threat. He is rich and powerful and announces that Cara's company would be the best no matter what Chris does. A year later and Cara becomes stronger and powerful. Chris has a change of heart and wants her back, but Cara has moved on and is finding a new love with Romeo.
Chapter 1
"Have you seen him?!" The music was nearly deafening as Cara yelled out to her friend.
"I can't hear ya!" Jessica shouted back. "Wait here, let me go find him."
Cara was enjoying the time of her life that evening at the club, except, her husband was nowhere to be found. It was their second year anniversary and it still felt like yesterday when she had said yes to his proposal.
"Okay, just drink more. It's your day!" Jessica passed her drink to her, watching Cara sip from its content. "Come on, don't be a bore! Drink up."
"You know I'm drunk already." Cara placed the cup on the table, her eyes scanning the room for her husband, Chris.
"I'll go get him. And you should drink up, honey. It's not like you're the one who's going to drive. Chris will take you home, and you guys can have the night of your lives tonight. Who's gonna be on top in bed?" Jessica teased her friend as a smile worked its way to her face.
"Shut up, Jessica." Cara felt her cheeks burn red. Everytime she thought about anything sexual, she found herself blushing like a fool. Even though she was a married woman and had sex with Chris most of the time, she still blushed.
"Lemme go now. Just stay here, and don't you move your ass, okay?" Her friend was already walking out, leaving Cara to herself.
They threw a party at a club with some of Chris's friends, with Cara showing up with Jessica, her only friend in the world. Besides Romeo of course. But it had been two whole years since she spoke with him last. Thankfully, Jessica has been around by her side the past couple months. Eighteen months to be exact.
She still remembered how she and Jessica had met at a bar when Cara had visited with Chris on her birthday.
"Hey," a friend of Chris, Max, stopped in front of her. "Where the hell is Chris? We need his ass down here for our adult game. It's getting sensual down there, you should come too!"
It was obvious Max was drunk already with the way he dragged his words and from his staggering stance. Besides, he was always so formal with her but now he spoke so casually like they were friends.
A colleague of Chris hurried to join them. "Yo, Max, come on."
Max struggled. "Let's bring her over. She's blessed with these crazy curves, I imagine she'll be a badass on the dance floor. We need hotties--"
"--ignore him. He's fucking wasted." Mathew, Chris's colleague said to her.
"Hey, have you seen Chris?" Cara asked. It seemed suspicious as Mathew glanced around, watching like he'd just seen a ghost.
"Nope. Nothing. I dunno." He blinked. "Come on, let's go, Max!" And with that, he disappeared.
Cara got up, now getting curious. The whole room was spinning as soon as she bounced on her feet, and her body felt warm and cozy like she was one giant vibrating being. This irritating nauseous feeling began to form in her throat but she forced herself to walk around.
There was a room by a corner where the loud noise of music hitting the speaker dulled down and the area felt very calm in a pleasing manner.
"Damn it, I'm so tired." She muttered to herself, caressing her forehead that was now banging. "I mean, I'm sure Chris paid for a reserved space. I just wanna lie down..." The thought of laying on a sofa chilled all her nerves.
Mathew with another guy rushed forward to her. "Miss Cara, where are you going!" That was Matthew's voice.
Cara turned to see all of Chris's friends and colleagues now before her. "Huh? Oh," she seemed dazzled as to why she was being queried by these men.
"I just wanted to lay down for...for like, a while." Her tone was slurred and she didn't mind. She was tired. "I just want to rest for a while until Chris comes."
"But-" Mathew wanted to say, but he stopped himself.
"You tried your best, bro." Said someone else, resting his hand on Matthew's shoulders.
Mathew sighed. "Okay. You can go in."
The way their facial expression seemed so doomed was what made Cara begin to grow suspicious. What was in there?
She watched as they took big steps backward, shaking their heads like she was just about to find the dead body of her parents in there. She shrugged off that dangerously taunting thought and instantly reached for the door knob.
Twisting the handle gently, she pushed the door open regardless of what she might find in there.
The room was nothing special with just a long couch in front of her. The color of the walls dulled the room, and with the ugly looking lightening, Cara wanted to head out already.
Nothing was in there so why were they afraid? She was smart to stay close to the door. She wouldn't want someone appearing from behind to suddenly shut the door tight--
"Damn it, just like that. Hmmm...that's it...!" It was a moaning sound from a woman.
The thought that there must be a couple somewhere there making out sent shivers down Cara's spine. "Great, I'm in a porn room. Shit!" She muttered as she made a mental note to quickly rush out.
A loud grunt was heard in a pleasurable tone. "Fuck, I'm about to cum! You're the best, Jesse. I love you!"
Then she heard his voice.
It was hard to miss. Jesse? Who the hell was Jesse!
With anger coursing through her veins, Cara stormed in, hitting all the light switches to brighten up the room and boom!
Just by the corner was a big bed with two naked people in a standing ovation fucking and moaning loud like the world was about to end.
And did it hurt her to the very core that her husband was out there in one of the hottest sex positions she knew with a complete stranger?!
It was nothing compared to the next thing she was about to see. With Cara in the room, Chris quickly pushed the lady away and grabbed his boxer somewhere to cover up his nakedness.
"Cara? Oh my goodness, Cara what--" He paused, glaring at the lady with him who's back was facing Cara as her naked slim butt flashed before Cara's eyes. "Didn't you say she was drunk somewhere? What is she doing here!" Chris began to mutter, though loud enough Cara could hear.
Cara's mouth opened but no words could form. What the hell was he talking about!
Then, Jessica turned to face Cara in her full glorious body. "I thought I told you not to get up from there?"

“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.

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.

His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
