Their encounter ends in an unplanned one night stand.
When Veronica learns of Edward's true identity, she decides she wants him for herself. Together with her mother, she accuses and humiliates Sarah.
Heartbroken and shattered, Sarah leaves the country. Four years later, she returns as a different woman with a successful career and her adorable twins, who share the unmistakable features of the country's billionaire heartthrob, Edward Huxley.
Edward is stunned by her transformation and finds himself falling for her all over again. Determined to win her heart, he sets out to rebuild their family. But will he succeed, or is he already too late with the enigmatic Benicio always by Sarah's side, his eyes filled with love and devotion?
Chapter 1
The car pulled to a stop, and the driver turned to Sarah. "We are already here, ma'am."
Sarah nodded with a faint smile.
"I have to go, Cara. I have already arrived at his place. I'll talk to you later."
"This is madness,Sarah," she pressed further. "It would have been better to take up my offer of coming to Italy after college graduation. I have a bad feeling about this."
Cara was the only person who had ever treated Sarah with love and kindness. Cara was part Italian, they had met and become great friends in college.
"Don't worry,Cara. I'll be careful. I have to go. I'll call you later. Bye."
Sarah swiftly ended the call before Cara could protest further. She was aware of the look of displeasure on the driver's face from the front mirror. She offered him a small apologetic smile and slid out of the car. No sooner had she alighted, did the car zoom off and her attention was immediately drawn to the palatial edifice before her.
Sarah swallowed the nervous lump in her throat and smoothed her dress with her clammy hand. With her purse clutched tightly in her hand and determination in her stride, she approached the door.
Sarah was ushered into the house and taken into a tastefully furnished, and designed bedroom.
"When do I get to see the owner of the house?" Sarah asked the servant who was about to leave the room.
"Master gave instructions to bring you here once you arrive, Miss."
Sarah nodded. "And when will he be back?" She needed to impress him— whoever he was. Her family's salvation depended on it. If he wanted a bride, then that is what she would be.
"Master will be back soon, Miss. Make yourself comfortable. Dinner will be sent up to you soon."
Sarah was herself confused about the entire arrangement, but she dared not voice her opinion. Her family's benefactor had sent a car earlier that evening to bring Veronica to him, but alas it was her that had come instead; but she was yet to meet him.
The servant left, and Sarah was left alone in the huge bedroom. The assortment of different mouth watering delicacies was later brought up, and Sarah ate as much as she could with her stomach in knots.
Sarah decided to take a shower and change into the delectable and expensive looking lingerie that was led out on the bed for her.
Sarah was fast asleep, when she awoke to someone hovering above her. Sleep quickly vanished from her eyes, and she quickly made to turn on the light switch above the bed, but warm and firm large hands swiftly caught hold of her wrists, pinning it down to the pillow on both sides of her head. Sarah knew this must be the man she was here to meet.
"Forget the lights sweetheart. I just want to feel you," he drawled in a rich baritone. His speech sounded a bit slurred. His expensive manly cologne— a marriage of musk, leather and sandalwood, enveloped her.
Sarah felt him inhaling her scent, sniffing, and trailing kisses on her skin along her nape, and down to the base of her throat. She froze in his arms.
Sarah found a surge of panic when she felt his other hand exploring and pressing her body. She had never had a boyfriend or been this close to a man before.
"You smell and feel more beautiful than I even imagined, darling," he husked in her ears, making a strange warmth spread all over her.
Sarah's mind raced...did he know her before?
Of course not.
He had requested the daughter of the Maxwell family. Definitely, he was referring to Veronica.
He thought she was Veronica.
Sarah felt him loosen the knots of her silk robe, and slide down the straps of her nightgown. She was a virgin, but she was not dumb. She knew where this was heading. She would have preferred to get to know this faceless stranger first, or at least sign the marriage certificate before going this far.
She had not even seen his face because of the darkness in the room, but his firm and toned body was taut with muscles, pressing her into the soft silken sheets. She guessed he was possibly a young and fit man.
"Seems like we're going to have the wedding night before the wedding, sweetheart," he drawled huskily in her ears.
Sarah's eyes grew wide as saucers in the dark room, and before she could utter a word, his warm soft lips claimed hers in a hot, hungry kiss.
Her words were swallowed and his skillful ministrations left her a moaning and writhing mess beneath him.
"Sarah. That bitch! Mom you would not believe what I just found out right now," Veronica screeched in alarm as she stomped into the living room.
Estelle dropped the glass of wine she was sipping from, and dismissed the servant who was painting her toenails.
"Get out. Go and tidy up my room. Now," she hissed. The maid scurried away with head bowed low, cowering from the look of disgust and disdain that Veronica threw at her.
"Now tell me, sweetheart, what has your pretty head all worked up so early in the morning?" Estelle asked her daughter.
"I just found out the identity of the new investor."
Estelle's curiosity was piqued. The investment and proposal had come shrouded in secrecy.
Although they were curious about their benefactor, they were only too glad to give Sarah in exchange for their salvation.
"Who is it?"
"It's Edward, mom. Edward Huxley," Veronica screamed in rage. She had refused to accept the marriage because she was in a steamy romance with her model boyfriend, Dylan. In addition, she secretly suspected it might be a wealthy but wrinkled old man or a creepy freak or psychopath. So it was only too easy to give Sarah in her place.
Estelle's eyes widened in shock. "Are you sure, sweetheart? How did you find out about this?"
"Dylan's cousin works as one of his drivers. He was the one that picked her up last night. Maybe he recognised her, and he told Dylan about it."
Edward Huxley was the owner of the largest Airline and Shipping Company in the country. He was the richest and most good-looking bachelor in the country. Veronica was fuming in anger by the thought of Sarah being with him right now, and even getting married to him.
Estelle's shock slowly gave way to a devious smirk. "This is actually great news, sweetheart," she beamed. Things just kept getting better and better.
Veronica's brows knotted in confusion.
"What are you getting at, mom? Sarah is going to marry him now,"she snapped and paced the room frantically.
"I rejected the proposal, remember?"
Estelle was not bothered. She had always hated Sarah for being the child of her husband's mistress, and treated her with disdain. Veronica deserved the best of everything, not Sarah.
"That does not matter,"You are going to be the one to marry him, not Sarah."
Veronica had changed her mind. She wanted Edward. He was wealthier and more good-looking than Dylan. She would never allow Sarah to win over her.
"What do you have in mind, mom? Cause I would never allow that skank to get ahead of me," she spat with hatred for Sarah.
Estelle smirked. "Don't worry, dear. I have a plan. You just have to follow my lead and play along. Edward is going to be yours,"she assured.
Veronica smiled with relief at her mother's assurance. Mother knows best.
"Does Dylan's cousin know how we can see Mr Huxley?" Estelle asked with a devious smirk.

The head chef looked like he was silently praying for death.
I rushed forward. “Amara. Stop traumatizing these poor people.”
She spun around, delighted. “Sera! Good, you’re here. Taste this. It’s missing despair.”
The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.
I grabbed her arm. “Put the spatula down.”
“But—”
“Down.”
With exaggerated offense, she dropped the spatula and muttered, “Fine. But if no one here has artistic vision, that’s not my fault.”

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.

Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."

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.

From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
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."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.

Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
