Introduction
He catches her by the ribbon in her hair and turns her escape into a dead end, yet he never takes her life.
While everyone waits for the moment she breaks, Ethan clasps a bracelet around her wrist, a mark she never manages to remove.
"They say you'll redeem me," he murmurs, voice dangerously low as he tilts her chin up. "But I only want to lock you away forever."
He thinks he's playing a game of conquest. Instead, he's the one who surrenders. Until the day he kneels, blood on his hands, a ring held out like a confession.
"Good girl," he breathes. "Call me 'honey.' Stay with me, forever."
Chapter 1
International Waters.
Lydia Hayes was caged behind iron bars. Her face was flushed, her eyes unfocused as she tore at her bridesmaid dress.
Just as lust began to erode her sanity, Ethan Edwards slowly opened the cage.
He pulled her out, a faint smile curving his lips.
She immediately shrank back, cowering in the corner beside the bed.
A strange heat spread from her stomach through her entire body, flushing her skin an unnatural red.
She bit her lip hard, struggling to regain clarity.
Ethan stood before her, idly twirling a pistol in his hand.
Fresh from a fierce struggle, sweat dampened his temples, yet his gaze remained razor-sharp.
"I hear there's no antidote for this poison," he said, kneeling on one knee as the cold barrel traced her flushed cheek.
He held the gun in one hand while the other slid from her flushed cheek to rest against her slender neck.
Her breathing quickened despite herself.
When his palm touched her breast, a soft moan slipped from her lips, and her struggling hands slowly went slack.
He smirked and kneaded her breast with deliberate force.
Shame burned across her face as she realized her body was responding to his touch.
Her consciousness grew hazy beneath the drug's grip.
When his hand slipped beneath the fabric to caress her trembling calf, she arched her back.
Her clothes were removed piece by piece.
Her clothes came off piece by piece.
She writhed, her rationality eroding under the drug's influence.
Then he slowly dragged the muzzle along her skin.
Her breath hitched as a shiver of anticipation raced down her spine, her body already a traitor to her senses.
Intense desire drowned out her shame.
Watching her dazed eyes and parted lips, his Adam's apple bobbed.
"I want it… Please save me…" she begged, all resistance gone.
His gaze locked on her flushed skin as she writhed beneath him.
Ethan gently pried her legs apart using the barrel of his gun.
Then the condom-covered muzzle slowly pressed into her heated, slick body.
The sensation left her both ashamed and desperate.
His body had already reacted to her, fine beads of sweat forming along his temples.
Every second was a torturous test, the painful tightness in his lower body impossible to ignore.
"Faster… faster…" she pleaded, the drug stripping away her last reserve.
Sweat dripped from his taut jaw onto the sheets.
When she finally climaxed under his rapid thrusts, he nearly lost control.
He heaved ragged breaths, struggling to suppress the desire surging through him.
This fragile-looking woman had come dangerously close to breaking him.
"You're fine now. Get dressed." His voice was hoarse, barely audible, as he turned and rushed into the bathroom.
…
Hours earlier, aboard the luxury cruise ship…
Lydia finished her makeup and slipped into the bridesmaid's gown.
It was her first time being a bridesmaid for her cousin's wedding. She stepped out of the cabin in high spirits.
As she lifted her skirt to walk, chaos erupted in the ship's corridor.
Passengers fled in panic.
"What's happening?"
"All the men are being killed. The women are being taken."
Suddenly, a jarring gunshot rang out.
The groom collapsed, shot dead on the spot.
Screams tore through the luxury liner.
Before she could react, dozens of fierce, heavily armed men appeared with guns drawn. Without saying a word, they herded Lydia and several other brides into a grand ballroom that could hold thousands.
How could so many militants board the ship?
Helicopter blades thundered overhead.
Lydia curled into a corner of the ballroom, clutching her skirt with both hands.
The atmosphere in the hall was oppressive, filled with cries and whispers of fear.
Only Ethan stood apart. He lounged in a booth with one leg crossed over the other, one hand pressed to his left chest, the other draped along the seat. Even behind his sunglasses, his disdain for everyone present was unmistakable.
He had been shot. The wound sat near his heart on the left side of his chest. The bullet was laced with cobra venom.
"Is there a doctor or nurse here? Step forward!" his subordinate barked.
Everyone froze in fear, lowering their heads.
Ethan lit a cigarette and held it between his lips.
"Useless bunch," he muttered.
His subordinate understood the signal and gestured to the armed men surrounding them.
Instantly, countless gun barrels were trained on everyone in the room.
"Prepare to fire."
Just then, a trembling Indian doctor stepped forward.
"I… I'm a doctor."
The subordinate tossed him a medical kit and barked, "Get that bullet out!"
Though Ethan had already received antivenom, extracting the bullet was still extremely risky and required a highly skilled specialist.
"Bear with it. I'll administer the anesthetic immediately!" the doctor stammered.
Ethan's presence nearly suffocated him. His hands shook so badly he couldn't even steady the syringe.
Ethan's blue eyes narrowed beneath his sunglasses, his chest rising and falling slowly.
"Throw him in the water. Feed the fish." He kicked the doctor aside.
His gaze shifted to the American doctor who had stepped forward.
She gasped in terror as a splash and a brief scream echoed.
Despite facing armed murderers, she forced herself to remain professional.
She retrieved medical scissors, sterilized them, and reached for Ethan's expensive white shirt, now dark with blood around the wound.
However, Ethan grabbed the scissors. His icy stare made her tremble.
Is he planning to toss her overboard again?
In a panic, Lydia found unexpected courage. She ripped the silk ribbon from her hair, rushed forward, and blindfolded him.
As the soft silk brushed his cheek, Ethan froze. Something unfamiliar stirred in his chest.
"Why did she use a silk ribbon to blindfold him?"
"This woman is incredibly bold!"
No one understood her actions; everyone expected Ethan to explode.
Instead, he chuckled and released the scissors from the doctor's hand.
He kept the cigarette between his teeth, leaned back against the booth, and exhaled slowly.
"You have exactly ten minutes." He said it lightly, but it landed like a death sentence.

Reborn: My Biased Brothers Beg Me To Come Back
She genuinely took in Regina, the butler's daughter, only to be constantly manipulated by this cunning and manipulative woman.
Regina gradually stole the love from her three brothers.
Arabella was forced to give Regina blood transfusions time and again, her weight plummeting to a mere eighty-eight pounds.
Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,
"What about Regina's blood transfusions?"
When she opened her eyes again, Arabella found herself reborn three years earlier—the very day Regina appeared at her doorstep crying, begging for help.
Looking at the pitiful, tearful girl before her, Arabella smiled.
No more soft-heartedness.
No more groveling.
Instead, she "kindly" arranged for Regina to move into the servants' quarters, to earn her own living through honest labor.
Faced with her brothers who sided with her, she no longer bothered to please them.
And towards her former fiancé, Theodore, whom she had once fawned over, she remained cold, distant, and indifferent.
Moreover, in this life, they would discover that her identity was far more than just the eldest daughter of the Oberon family.
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
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?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
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.

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.
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
