Introduction
I thought I'd found redemption, but it turned out the pregnancy was a misdiagnosis! From then on, Raymond offered me nothing but money and sex. In this loveless marriage, I endured five years. Just when I thought my life would remain this way forever, he brought a little boy home.
Watching my stepsister's smug smile, my world crumbled. "Raymond, let's get a divorce!"
Chapter 1
My husband of five years, Raymond Brown, brought a woman and a child to our family dinner.
In front of everyone, he announced, "Ethan Scott is my son."
I stared at him, my emotions spiraling out of control. "Raymond, then what am I to you?"
Emily Scott, who shared my surname and bore a slight resemblance to me, put on an innocent expression.
"Caroline, don't worry. I won't ruin your family. Once Ethan settles in, I'll leave."
My hands trembled with anger as I glared at Raymond. It felt like my world was falling apart right in front of me. "Why does it have to be Emily?"
You married me because she went abroad.
Now that Emily was back, you bring her son Ethan and reveal his identity.
I, the legitimate wife, had become a complete joke.
Raymond didn't answer me directly. He turned to the butler and said, "Take Mrs. Brown home."
Raymond's mother, Harper Hill, looked colder. "Raymond, what are you doing? Today is your grandfather's birthday. Do you want to upset him?"
Raymond silently signaled his assistant to hand a document to Harper.
After reading it, Harper's expression changed instantly, and the way she looked at me shifted.
"Caroline, it's Kyle's birthday. Don't make things awkward for everyone. You and Raymond can discuss your issues at home. Besides, Raymond is the heir to the company, and Ethan is his son. Kyle will be happy to hear that. He loves you so much, so don't disappoint him."
"Besides, you've been married for five years, and still haven't gotten pregnant. Ethan will be your son in the future. Be sensible."
"Go home, don't make things difficult for everyone."
From start to finish, Raymond only showed me a resolute and indifferent profile. I let out a hollow laugh.
Five years, and I should have woken up by now.
Leaving the Brown Villa, I got into a car heading to Prestige Estate, tears streaming down my face.
When I opened the door to our home, it felt strangely unfamiliar.
Even though I had decorated everything myself, it was all according to Raymond's preferences, no wonder I felt disoriented.
At that moment, I heard a noise behind me and instinctively turned around.
Standing at the door was Raymond's secretary, Byron Morris, holding a check.
"Mrs. Brown, this is compensation from Mr. Brown."
I looked at the two-million-dollar check and laughed through my tears.
This was the man I've loved for so many years.
But I couldn't refuse it.
Because it was for my mother Diana Ellis's medical expenses this month. How ironic.
I had nothing. I couldn't afford Diana's medical bills with my current salary.
I didn't have the nerve to tear up the check.
And there was no reason to refuse the money.
"Got it."
That night, close to midnight, Raymond came home.
In our five years of marriage, this was the earliest he had returned, except for the nights he came home to satisfy his physical needs..
He wasn't surprised to see me waiting for him. He casually tossed his suit jacket aside, a cigarette dangling from his lips, exuding a cold, effortless charisma.
"Ethan will move in tomorrow."
He was was used to being in control, his tone leaving no room for argument.
"I don't agree."
Raymond looked up, his tone indifferent. "I wasn't asking for your opinion."
"Raymond, Emily's mother, Clara Fuller, destroyed my family and caused my mother to be bedridden for five years."
"You want me to make room for Emily and your illegitimate son Ethan? What do you take me for?"
My chest heaved, unable to control my emotions any longer.
Raymond extinguished his cigarette, standing in the living room, his face cold and stern.
"Caroline, don't forget, if Emily hadn't gone abroad, I never would have laid a hand on you."
"It was your fake pregnancy that caused a scandal, and that's why we got married. What? After just five years, you've forgotten?"
He laid out the past so casually, trampling on my dignity.
I looked up at him, all the love in my heart turning to hatred in that moment.
"Raymond, I want a divorce."
Raymond sneered. "Caroline, can you really let go?"
"Back then, you plotted for so long. Can you give up everything now?"
"Don't make me lose even the little interest in your body."
He picked up his suit jacket and walked a few steps before turning his head. "You love money so much. If you want to keep your lifestyle, you should be more than willing to raise Ethan."
I grabbed a pillow and looked at Raymond's cold back, tears streaming down my face.
"Raymond, you bastard. How can you humiliate me like this?"
I trembled as I picked up my phone to call my best friend, Flora Lynn.
"Hi, Flora, I want a divorce. Can you help me find a lawyer?"
"Caroline, what's wrong? Did Raymond mistreat you again?"
I looked at the crystal chandelier, tears blurring my vision.
"I'm tired. I don't want to love him anymore. Flora, it hurts so much." I touched my chest. "Do you know? Emily is back, and Raymond wants me to raise her son Ethan."
"He's gone too far!" Flora cursed in anger. "If it weren't for that shameless mother and daughter, who ruined Diana's reputation, you wouldn't have been kicked out and burdened with debt."
"Caroline, I'll send you the lawyer's contact information right away. You must get a divorce."
"Thank you."
After hanging up, I wiped away my tears and sat there all night, memories flooding back.
When I met Raymond, I was still the daughter of the Scott family, and Diana hadn't yet fallen ill from the shock. Raymond was just an ordinary employee.
I fell for him at first sight in a bar and pursued him relentlessly.
When we met again, I had been cast out of the Scott family and went to a bar to drown my sorrows.
He was drinking alone, and I sat next to him.
"Want to join me?"
He looked at me and suddenly kissed me.
In that intimate moment, with the man I loved, I couldn't resist when he kissed me.
Love was a drug, making people forget everything, not having to face the cold, heartless father Ronald Scott and the debts looming over me.
But a month later, I found out I was pregnant.
It was then that I learned Raymond was the sole heir to the Brown family.
He looked at me and said, "let's get married."
After the wedding, we were like any other newlyweds, going on a honeymoon. That sweet time made me almost forget we married because of the pregnancy.
But a month later, the dream shattered. When we returned from our honeymoon, Raymond received my medical report. I wasn't pregnant.
He cornered me and asked why I lied. That day, my scandalous photos from the bar were also exposed, and I became the scheming woman who faked a pregnancy to marry, Mrs. Brown in name only.
No matter how I explained, Raymond didn't believe me.
Eventually, we struck a cold bargain. He gave me his bed, and I took his money, but I was not allowed to have his child.
Back then, I always believed I loved him, I thought love could heal everything and that we had a lifetime to resolve our issues.
Now, this dream was finally ending.
Raymond's first love, Emily, was back. I'd stayed in a place that didn't belong to me for too long. It was time to leave.
Someone knocked on the door. After a sleepless night, I felt dizzy.
When I opened the door, I instantly sobered up.
"Caroline, long time no see. Raymond asked me to bring Ethan here. Is he not home?"

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.

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.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.
