Introduction

"I didn't mean to steal your fiancé!" Layla choked out through her tears. "I just couldn't help falling in love with him. I've always been so envious of you, Camila!"
Camila's gaze flickered between them, her heart pounding a relentless rhythm against her chest.
"Envious?" Camila finally spat out, her voice sharp with incredulity. "Envious of what, Layla? My life falling apart?"
"Yes, envious!" Layla sobbed, her voice breaking. "You've always had everything—the perfect family, the perfect life. And I have nothing." Her chin quivered as she struggled to maintain her composure.
"Nothing?" Camila's laugh was hollow, bitter. "You call taking my fiancé 'nothing'?"


When Camila returned home, filled with excitement to surprise her fiancé Blake, she was devastated to find him in bed with her stepsister Layla. This betrayal shattered her heart completely.
But the betrayal didn't stop there. Layla had also stolen Camila's meticulously designed jewelry pieces, using them to advance her own career dramatically. Even Camila's father and stepmother openly sided with Layla, pushing Camila into unprecedented isolation.
However, Camila was not broken by these blows. Determined to fight back, she began plotting her revenge with the help of Travis Turner, a business tycoon.
On this path of revenge, filled with emotional entanglements and family power struggles, Camila leverages her talent and resolve to the fullest. Yet, on the brink of justice and vengeance, who will emerge as the true victor?

Chapter 1

Camila glanced at her watch, the diamond-studded bezel catching the waning sunlight as she stood up from the wrought-iron café table. Her friends' laughter was a fading symphony in her ears as she excused herself with a grin that couldn't be tamed.

"Sorry, everyone, I've got to run. Big night ahead," she said, gathering her purse and jacket in a swift motion.

"Big night? More like a big year! Can't believe it's been one already," A girl called out, raising her glass in a mock toast.

"Feels just like yesterday when Blake popped the question," added a boy, his eyes twinkling with shared joy.

"Make sure you tell us all about your celebration!" another friend chimed in.

"Will do," Camila promised, her voice bubbling with anticipation. "But for now, it's surprise time."

With the echo of well-wishes trailing behind her, Camila hurried through the cobblestone streets, her heels clicking rhythmically. She arrived home, her breath slightly quickened- not from the brisk walk but from the thought of Blake's reaction to her carefully crafted gift.

Just two days ago she had been admiring her gift at home.

Camila had slipped into their shared apartment, the scent of polished wood and faint cologne greeting her. In the quiet of the space, she retrieved the hidden bracelet from its velvet sanctuary- a band of woven leather, the intricate design born from hours under lamplight, interwoven with tiny, personalized charms that chronicled their shared history.

"Blake's going to love this," she whispered to herself.

Camila knew that the bracelet would be more than just a gift. It would be a tangible reminder of their unique bond- one that had always felt so deeply right.

The thought of his smile when he'd see the gift made her quicken her steps toward their bedroom.

"Blake, love, are you ready?" she called out, expecting to hear the shower running or finding him donning one of his meticulously chosen suits. Instead, a stifled giggle responded, a sound that didn't belong to Blake. Camila's brow furrowed. That laughter was familiar, too familiar. It was a siren call to unease.

"Blake?" Her voice rang out again as she approached the slightly ajar bedroom door, her hand trembling as it pushed the wood open just a crack. The scene that greeted her, however, was no celebration but a betrayal laid bare.

Her heart pounded as she pushed open the door. There, tangled in the sheets, were Blake and Layla, lost in the throes of passion. The sight was raw and unfiltered, their betrayal laid bare before her eyes. Camila's world shattered in that moment, the happiness she once knew replaced by a searing pain she could hardly bear

This couldn't be real. Not Blake, not her Blake, who had been the very definition of devotion. Yet there he was, in that bed with her stepsister. Her damn near evil stepsister who had walked all over her since she moved into the family house.

They were talking, Camila took a moment to hear their words through her shock, they were muffled.

"It was always you Layla" Blake's voice, the reverence shook her to her core. How long had this been going on? Was it right under her nose this entire time?

"I've always loved you Blake, I can't wait until we can be together fully." Layla's voice jumped in pitch, he must still be touching her in all the places Camila couldn't dare to think of.

Why would they do this to her? Layla was almost unsurprising but Blake. Her Blake? Her sweet, devoted, childhood friend Blake chose to hurt her like this? On their anniversary no less. She hated the bracelet in her pocket, she hated him and she hated her sister. But most of all she hated herself for trusting him.

Camila stepped back as if to turn away, refusing to face the reality in front of her, but she knew in her heart what she heard was real, she couldn't let them get away with this no matter how scared or shocked she was.

Camila's heart hammered against her ribcage as the murmured voices from the room seeped through the crack of the slightly ajar door. She paused, her hand suspended mid-air, inches from the polished oak surface that separated her from the truth she was about to uncover. With a breath caught in her throat, she leaned in closer.

Blake appeared flustered. He quickly tried to cover himself, his eyes wide with panic. But then, his demeanour shifted. He took a deep breath and turned to face Camila, a mixture of guilt and resignation in his eyes.

"Camila," he started, his voice trembling slightly, "I... I'm sorry you had to find out this way. But the truth is, I've fallen in love with Layla."

Camila stood frozen, her mind struggling to process his words.

"I think I've misunderstood my feelings for you all this time," Blake continued, his voice now steadier. "I care about you, I really do. But it's more like the way a brother cares for his sister. It's not the intense love you deserve."

The room felt like it was closing in on her. Camila's heart ached, the weight of his words sinking deep. What had once been her safe haven was now a place of betrayal and confusion.

I moan into his mouth as we continue to exchange saliva. He tugs my bottom lip slightly in his teeth as he pulls away. Kai pulls my hair, so I am looking up, his large frame towering over me.

Summer Taylor's life turned upside down when she discovered her fiancé's betrayal with her own sister. As if to torment her further, her own family drugged her and sent her to a stranger's bed for a $200 million investment. But Brandon appeared like a dark angel and saved her. He carried her to safety in his arms as the aphrodisiac coursed through her system.

As Brandon settled her into the car, Summer's wandering hands sought relief from the burning heat. Every point of contact—her tits pressed against his chest, her soaked pussy grinding against his thigh—crackled with raw, electric hunger.

“Stop that,” Brandon commanded, but she only arched closer.

“I’m burning up,” she pouted, writhing against him, her hips bucking as her exploring fingers slid lower, palming the thick, hard bulge straining against his pants. His sharp inhale fueled her, and his grip on her wrist tightened, firm yet gentle, as his cock twitched under her teasing touch.

Ignoring his warning, she buried her face in his neck, sucking hard, leaving wet, red marks as she trailed sloppy, heated kisses up his jaw.

She caught his earlobe between her teeth, biting down, reveling in his ragged gasps as she ground her dripping cunt harder against him. His hands clamped onto her waist, fingers digging into her flesh, caught between shoving her off and yanking her tighter against his throbbing erection.

For one electrifying moment, he gave in, his lips crashing against hers, tongue thrusting deep into her mouth, fucking it with slow, deliberate strokes. She moaned into him, her pussy clenching as she rubbed herself harder against his thigh, chasing release.


But Brandon is practically also a stranger to her. After she got sober, she has to wonder: Did she escape one trap only to walk willingly into another?

I'm an ordinary waiter, but I can see people's fate, including Shifters.
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.

I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.

I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.

Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.

“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.

“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.

"I don't know how long it is going to take you to realize this, honey bunny but you are ours." His deep voice said, yanking my head back so that his intense eyes met mine.

"Your pussy is dripping for us, now be a good girl and spread your legs. I want to have a taste, do you want my tongue gracing your little cunt?"

"Yes, d…daddy." I moaned.
