Introduction
Until one day she realized that it was all a mistake.
Because chasing him was her greatest downfall.
It's a mistake to love him. It's a mistake to love someone who can't love your back.
Chapter 1
I glued my last stolen shots of Damon to my photo album. I don't know what he did to me, but I feel like I'm in love with him. I was studying at HMU. Damon, my crush, is the son of the owner of the university. Since he almost ran over me with his car, I feel like I want to see him every day.
I am in my first year of college. Tourism is my course. I am a scholar because HMU is majestic. All the children of Royal and Elite families were enrolled here.
"Oh Zands, is that for Damon again?" said Ruru, my friend. I smiled and stared at the cookies I made.
"Ah yeah, I'll give it to him later," I said.
"Oh no! I'm warning you; Damon is cunning! He's a playboy!" she shook her head. My lips parted.
"Your mouth Ru! I'll just give it to him."
"You take care of your life Zands. Find someone else! Damon already has a girlfriend!"
My chest suddenly ached. Someone was already with Damon. Natalia is said to be the name. I haven't seen her yet, but I know she's well. That's what I hear. But I just want Damon to notice me.
"Ah, I got to go, okay?" I said goodbye to Ruru because the bell rang. Our class is about to start. "See you later."
I walked to our room. I still have the box of cookies. I'll give it to Damon later when I have time.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when my last subject ended. I went to the locker room to get the box of cookies to give to Damon personally.
Yes, that's how I try when it comes to him. But nothing, his heart is already in someone else's.
I don't know why I don't get tired of doing this.
As I was walking, I heard the laughter of the boys in the boys' locker room.
I was right when I saw that Damon was one of them. I smiled and didn't look up when I took the box of cookies from my locker.
Suddenly, I was conscious of my face. I turned around for a moment and took the power from my bag.
I put in a little and contentedly before I went to Damon.
"Fuck, dude! Stop! What's mine is mine!" said a handsome man as well. They are all in jerseys. I think they just finished playing basketball.
Damon was still sitting in the chair and wiping his sweat. Suddenly my heart lost when I saw him laugh. I want to curse, he's so handsome!
"Stop it, Johnsons! You're too possessive."
They laughed! But it also disappeared when they saw me approaching. Clinton, Damon's cousin who I know is a famous playboy, whistled.
"Damn! It's the woman who made the first move?!" I heard someone say but I ignored it even though I felt ashamed.
Damon looked up at me with a frown and looked at what I was carrying. I handed it to him, trembling.
"Ah, Damon- for you. I made that." I'm embarrassed now but I am here already! There is no time to be shy! I sighed and smiled when he took it from me.
"Thanks." He said lazily I want to jump!
"I'm leaving! You-you are welcome." I quickly turned around and ran away from them. I even heard them screaming! I went straight to the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
"Oh my God!" I stomped with excitement. I tightly covered my lips so as not to scream.
"I hope he will eat it, and not throw it in the trash like before," I said to myself.
I am now outside the gate and waiting for a taxi to go home. I saw Damon with a female companion. Suddenly, my heart ached.
It was as if my heart was pierced with pain. She had incredibly beautiful long hair and a sophisticated face. Was she the Natalia they were saying? I saw how Damon grabbed Natalia's hip kissed her forehead and got into the front seat of her car. My heart ached so bad that I wanted to experience Damon's care for me too.
But how? Damon almost didn't know me.
Tears welled up in my eyes as Damon's car passed me. My tears flowed as my eyes followed his car.
Unexpectedly, my gaze went to the trash can, and there, I saw the box of cookies.
The pain doubled. Those are the cookies I gave to Damon earlier, still wrapped, and unopened. He threw it again. Like what he did to my feelings.
My tears flowed as the rain fell. The rain seems sympathetic to me. I sat down and sobbed loudly. There was no one to see me. I just hope so.
This Saturday, Ruru and I decided to go to Malling.
"Which mall?" I asked Ruru on the other line. I am now in front of the dresser and combing my long hair. I was wearing a black sleeveless fitted top and ragged fitted jeans.
"Shangri-la. Let's just meet at the exit?"
"Okay." then I hung up. When I went downstairs, I immediately saw Mama.
"Mom, I'm leaving. I'll buy the requirements for school." I said goodbye, kissed her on the cheek, and took a sandwich, ready on the table. It's four o'clock this afternoon. She glanced at me before she spoke.
"Come home early, okay? Don't stay up late." she smiled.
"Yes, mom."
"Oh, wait." She stopped and took something into her wallet. "Here," she reached a thousand.
"Don't worry Mom, I still have money. Just keep it." I smiled at her.
I took a taxi and headed to Shangri-la. Inside the taxi, I couldn't help but think of Damon.
From my fourth year of high school when I stalked him until my first year of college, I never stopped chasing him. Back then, his body wasn't very bulky but at first glance, you knew he was intimidating. His eyebrows were always furrowed and always serious. But now he was smiling! I saw him smiling with his friends!
Maybe because of Natalia? Ever since he met Natalia, he has been different. His hard features became soft. He was a playboy then. I can't help but compare myself to Natalia.
She's tall while I'm not. She's feisty while I'm weak. She's beautiful and I'm... cute. I heaved a sigh.
"Why are you quiet?" Ruru asked. We are now in the Shangri la food court. I pouted and chewed my food first before speaking.
"Damon threw my cookies last time," I said softly. Ruru witnessed my possession and effort on Damon. She sighed and rolled her eyes.
"Well, what's new? Zand, you know Damon was already with Natalia. We saw how crazy Damon was to her." she drank some water before speaking. "Don't push yourself if he doesn't want to, you have a lot of suitors! There's Isaac, Ryle, and Kid!"
"But Damon is different." I started eating again.
"You are crazy! But whatever you do, I'm just here." She smiled and held my hand.

COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.
Bound by the Dragon Mafia
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.”
She went undercover to expose a mafia empire.
He offered her thirty nights to save her life.
When investigative journalist Seraphine Vale steps into the glittering underworld ruled by billionaire crime lord Dante Vescari, she thinks she’s chasing a story about missing women and corruption.
Instead, she uncovers a secret older than blood—an empire built on fire, sin, and dragons.
Bound to Dante by a forbidden pact, Seraphine finds herself caught between fear and desire, truth and temptation.
Each night pulls her deeper into his world of power, passion, and danger…
and closer to the monster hiding beneath his perfect skin.
Thirty nights. One bond.
And a love that might just burn the world to ash.
The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
The Hockey Alpha's Fake Girlfriend
Then there’s Rafael. Dark. Untouchable. The boy everyone talks about but no one really knows. He should be the last person Vivienne gets close to, yet she can’t look away. He pulls her in with a kind of danger that feels both terrifying and safe, like he sees the parts of her no one else can.
But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
I Found the Babies
"When..." He growled in my ear, "When we will be getting married, I will be your only king, do you get my point? Only one queen, no misters or mistresses. Just me, just you, and yeah, our babies."
I shivered.
Alyssa Reynolds found herself in a situation, while returning home from work, and she had three choices:
Simply walk away and forget that you ever heard the sound of wailing infants.
Call the police and inform them about the innocent wails.
Follow the sounds of the wails and take the matter in your hands, deciding what to do later.
Being a kindhearted soul and a sucker for babies, she found herself choosing the third option, finding the two little lives.
Two little lives that changed her whole life, her love life included. Her life now revolved around the babies as diapers, vomit and shit seemed to surround her.
Just when she thought that now it's just her and the babies, her whole world flipped over and she found herself living under the same roof as the egotistical, obnoxious and hot-as-hell Terence Powers, the business tycoon who was not going to let the woman fend off for herself and the babies alone.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.

“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.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else .

The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
