Introduction
"You... want a divorce?"
"Sandra’s back. You know the drill,"
"Johann, I..."
"You don't love me. I don't love you. Our marriage is nothing but a filial duty,"
"Would it make any difference if... I say I'm pregnant?"
"That's bullshit, and you know it, Kendra. I always take precautions."
A request from a dying mother and a filial duty of a sole heir brought two innocent hearts together.
Johann Petersen had no choice but to break up with the love of his life, Sandra Fell. One cold winter night turned his life around when his grandfather demanded he married someone else, in the name of courtesy, friendship, and paying a life debt.
Kendra Summers knew from the start that Johann married her not for love, but she was hopeful that he would fall in love with her one day. Yet, on the night of their second wedding anniversary, before she could announce her pregnancy, he handed her the divorce paper.
Will their marriage end shortly and leave them broken?
Or will their child salvage the slightest chance of hope to blossom a love that is hidden?
Chapter 1
"Three years. Make me forget Sandra and fall in love with you. If you don't succeed, you have to divorce me."
Kendra's POV
"T-turn off the lights, h-husband," my quivering voice rode the series of panting from too much excitement and exhaustion. This masculine man was all over me, while I was naked beneath him.
The highlight of tonight's event hasn't even started, yet he already made my stomach feel the tension deep down my pelvic region. I moaned as he once again dove in between my legs, "Oh, J-Johann, that fe..els great."
Even though I couldn't see his face, I felt his mouth widen at what he heard while his tongue was circling inside me. He even let out a chuckle as he responded to my arousal.
"We've been married for two years, yet you still want to hide your perfect body from me? I've seen it, touched it, licked it, and eaten every inch of you, so you–"
"S-stop, please," I looked away while he was watching my innocent face. "I'm still not used to any dirty talk a-and you know how I feel about t-the lights. Please?" I am pretty sure I look like an idiot in front of him.
"And I prefer ravishing your naked body with my eyes, my wife," he revolted in a flirty way.
I thought he was going to mock me, but instead, he gave me one last look and clapped twice. The light automatically went out with a hand clap, then I felt a heavy pressure over my fragile body.
He was again on top of me, but this time, his lips went after my ear. He nibbled it and licked from tip to tip. A joyous sensation contributed to my arousal. Oh god! I feel like I'm in heaven and he's just getting started, I told myself with so much satisfaction.
Damn right! He is so good in bed, well, not that I've had a lot of experience to compare with, but all I know is, there is never a time that I didn't come whenever we have sex.
After all, he was the first man who entered me, and by far, the one and only man, and I would like to keep it like that. I felt the blood rushing to my face, although I was not really sure if it was from the sex rush or just a crush blush.
I tried to picture my husband's face while he continued to peck me on my neck, Johann Petersen, how did I get you to marry me? A billionaire, a hot bachelor, and most of all, someone else had your heart.
Then, a sharp pain stung my heart, "Yeah, right, it was only a filial duty to marry each other, but I… I stopped contemplating what to say next, I think I'm in love with my husband, but how can I–"
"–Uh, oh, damn, Johann," I was brought out of my reverie when he penetrated me down there.
Still panting with his series of thrusts, he whispered, "Thinking of other things, while we are having sex? Not so clever, my wife!" and his voice sounded upset and offended.
His penetration went wilder and for a moment, I was worried for my little peanut inside my tummy.
Damn right! I am pregnant with his child, a fruit of our love, or better to say, our filial marriage.
"G-gently, please?"
I could feel the tension in his body and how it all went down the drain, "Shit! Did I just ruin the mood? For the first time in two years, I felt I wanted and needed more from him that night."
It was obvious that he was pissed. In just a few minutes after he entered me, he jerked off and went straight to the shower without looking back.
He left me hanging after cumming as if I was just a random woman he pays to bed with.
I took a deep breath and rubbed my tummy unconsciously, "Well, I guess, daddy is in a bad mood tonight, isn't he, little peanut?"
I laughed at myself inwardly thinking it isn't good to talk to my baby about sex at this early stage of parenthood. I lay in bed and waited for him to finish. Despite being a married couple, the very first rule we made was never to shower together, and the second rule was to never have sex with the lights on.
As soon as I heard him get out of the bedroom, I soaked myself in the bathtub and finally decided to call it a night, "My little peanut, let's tell daddy tomorrow, okay?"
I woke next morning without Johann beside me. So I hurriedly went downstairs not knowing what I'm getting myself into.
There I found him watching some news while indulging a slice of pumpkin pie.
"J-Johann, I have something to tell you," I jumped from behind and got over my head, and hugged him.
But his cold treatment and firm and unbothered sitting figure sent me a signal to back down. So I unclung his arms around his neck and distanced myself.
Then he asked me to sit beside him using his authoritative and adamant voice, "I need you to sign this, have a look," he handed me a brown envelope.
I took out the document and my hands felt numb, and so was my tongue. I froze without a word.
A divorce paper? He filed? But it has only been two years, we still have one more year, but... my brain couldn't process what he wanted. As active as my brain was, my body absorbed all the shock.
I just stood there, speechless while staring blankly straight passed him.
The only time I realized what was happening was when he called my name, "Kendra? Are you listening?"
"Huh? Oh, sorry, what is it again?" I pretended I was cool with it. Little did he know that my world started to crumble. What will happen to my little peanut, then?
"I said, this is only a draft, you can check it then let me know for some needed revisions," his voice was firm, decisive, and composed as if this document was just a part of a business contract. Well, that's true anyway.
My heart raced with the sudden news. I wasn't prepared for this, nor anticipated it to happen so soon. I wanted to retaliate: I still have a year to confirm my feelings for him, and for him to fall for me.
But his next statement left me baffled, "She's back. Sandra's back,"
I only snickered at his words and reminisced the remarks he uttered before agreeing to this marriage, "Three years. Make me forget Sandra and fall in love with you. If you don't succeed, you have to divorce me."
His voice resonated in my ears.

Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?

This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.

When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
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.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
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.

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.
