Introduction
He was kissing his fiancée.
But the name he moaned… was not hers.
“Helena…”
Sebastian Vale—cold, arrogant CEO—had a perfect life, a perfect reputation, and a perfect woman on his arm.
So why was the name slipping from his lips in the dark…
the name of the quiet, desperate secretary he humiliates every day?
Helena didn’t take the job for ambition.
She took it because her little brother is dying.
And money is the only thing keeping him alive.
So she swallows every insult.
Every cruel order.
Every look from the boss who seems to hate her… and watch her a little too closely.
But Sebastian’s fiancée notices.
And in her world, threats don’t get warnings.
They get erased.
One night, Helena is drugged.
Set up.
Left to wake with fragments of memory and a nightmare she can’t prove.
By morning, a humiliating video of her is sent to the entire company.
Her reputation is destroyed.
Her job is over.
Her life—almost gone.
And Sebastian must finally face the truth.
The woman he tried to deny…
is the only one he can’t stop wanting.
Chapter 1
"This is ridiculous!" shouted the youngest son of the important Aller family to the lawyer and his older brother, Sebastian Aller, who was smiling pleased at the new news while watching his brother turn red with anger.
"I'm sorry little brother, but these are the last words of our dear and deceased father." he teased.
"But this can't be true! Dad was crazy if he thought it was a good idea to leave you in his place," he protested. "You're useless! You spend all our money on women, alcohol, and luxury cars. You have no idea how to manage a company! I should be the one in that position!" He shouted, hitting the glass table in the lawyer's office.
Sebastian, the eldest son, and new heir to over half of the wealth his father had acquired with his technological company, smiled, amused, without saying anything, knowing he had won this battle. He didn't care if his brother cried and stomped, he wouldn't give him a cent more.
"I'm sorry Mr. Aller," the scared lawyer responded to Alan, "But those are your father's wishes, 35 percent of the income for you and 65 percent for your brother Sebastian and the position left vacant by the late Mr. Aller." He said, reviewing the documents.
"See little brother? Father knew who was the most competent of the two," he said, widening his smile and showing his shining and sparkling teeth that looked like ivory.
"There is one more thing," the thin and scrawny man said fearfully, looking like an insect next to the two Adonises in front of him.
"What is it?" asked the older brother, wanting to leave as soon as possible, hating meetings and paperwork, and simply getting bored. He couldn't wait to have everything in his power and wallet.
"In order to claim the inheritance and maintain the position of CEO of Aller Industries, you must marry the woman your father agreed to in the will. He firmly believed in family and customs, he didn't want to leave a bad image for his company. "
Both brothers were stunned, but more so Sebastian, who had never been a one-woman man and had no plans to be tied down in an arranged marriage with an unbearable and capricious woman who would surely make him miserable.
"This is getting interesting," Alan exclaimed, amused, knowing his brother wouldn't be able to accept that clause.
"Shut up," growled the older brother.
"If this does not happen, Mr. Alan will inherit the position and the majority of the profits."
"Enough of gossip and tell me right away who will be the woman lucky enough to marry me." Alan rolled his eyes, the lawyer grabbed the will and read aloud:
"Miss Katlyn Walker, heiress and owner of the largest cosmetics company in Europe."
Both brothers were stunned to hear the name of Sebastian's fiancée. For Sebastian, now it wasn't such a bad idea to get married; that woman slept on euro mattresses; if he combined his wealth with hers, he would be disgustingly rich, and he would have no limits. He thought, savoring and imagining his new acquisitions for when he was married. But Alan, who thought his brother would finally receive the punishment he deserved, now wanted to murder him. Because he knew perfectly well who that woman was, he had loved her since he could remember and had imagined to propose to her once his father was dead and with the power in his hands. But now his brother would take her away, the woman of his dreams! He couldn't allow that idiot to lay a hand on a woman as beautiful and prestigious as her.
Alan stood up abruptly from the meeting table, throwing the chair with force.
"Where are you going little brother?," Sebastian asked with an unbearable and irritating tone.
"I have nothing else to do here. Enjoy your wealth, brother. I hope life gives you what you deserve."
"I hope the same little brother," said Sebastian.
Alan left the office, slamming the door shut.
"Take care of all the paperwork and the engagement," Sebastian ordered the lawyer, "I must go organize my new office." He smiled victoriously. In the end, that arrogant and narcissistic old man had been good at something. He said to himself, thinking of his father whom he had never stood in life.
"Thank you for taking care of him. Seriously, the nanny didn't want to come because it was without notice..."
"It's okay Hele, don't worry. And go quickly, you won't make it to the interview." Helena De Luna smiled at her best and only friend, David; she didn't know how to thank him for accepting to take care of her little brother at the last minute.
Since her father had died from a serious illness, they had been alone against the world. Lucas had become a son to Helena, but it had also been very difficult for her to take this responsibility because the little boy was very delicate and got sick regularly, having to run to the hospital several times a month and leaving huge bills that she had no idea when she would be able to pay. But today she had a glimmer of hope because she had found online that they were looking for a new secretary for the new CEO of a technological company she had no idea about, but it seemed to offer good pay, and she really needed the money.
"Thank you, David, thank you!" She said jumping on him and hugging him tightly. The young man laughed at his friend's childish attitude, but enjoying the hug, he then let go, although he really didn't want to.
"Hurry up," he ordered with a smile. Helena kissed her little brother on the forehead, who was on the floor playing with his old toys.
"Be good with David, okay? I'll be back in a while." The boy nodded without stopping playing.
"Call me if you need anything," she told her friend before leaving.
"Yes, yes, just go already!" said David.
Helena smiled at him and ran out of her tiny studio apartment in the city center. The young woman was running with her heart in her throat; the bus had taken longer than expected to arrive, and she was arriving just in time. She spotted the large building with thousands of windows and many floors across the street with a big illuminated sign that said "ALLER INDUSTRIES S.A.". She crossed the street, but as she had always been a clumsy and distracted woman, her ankle twisted because she was not used to high-heeled shoes, and she fell on all fours on the hard street cement, scraping her knee and staining her resume with dirty water.
"Damn it!" she shook the paper that was now ruined and unpresentable. She tried to get up sore when she heard the grinding of wheels. Everything happened very fast; she saw a high-end black vehicle approaching her at great speed, and it seemed it wouldn't be able to stop. Helena did nothing but close her eyes tightly and think that her little brother wanted her without anyone in this world.

There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.

The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.

Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
CHASING GHOSTS
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.

At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...

What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
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—

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.

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.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.

"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
