Introduction
Chapter 1
The afterglow of the Los Angeles sunset never penetrates the shadows of Beverly Hills.
I stood before that familiar black and gold lacquered door, holding my six-year-old daughter Lily's hand. I raised my right hand and pressed my index finger against the fingerprint lock.
"Beep—No fingerprint recorded."
A cold, mechanical female voice echoed in the empty hallway. My fingers froze in mid-air, my knuckles turning white from the force.
"Daddy?" Lily clutched my clothes tightly and asked softly, "Is Mommy not home? I'm so hungry..."
My daughter's voice was soft, with a hint of cautious pleading. Just two hours earlier, I'd been chased away like stray dogs by security guards from a film studio on Hollywood Boulevard. I only had three coins left in my pocket, not even enough for a hot dog.
"It's okay, Dad will try again." I took a deep breath, concealing the bloodshot in my eyes, and switched to using a password.
This is the house I lived in for five years; the password is my birthday.
"Beep—Incorrect password."
I was stunned. Just as I was about to ring the doorbell, the front door clicked open from the inside.
A strong, pungent TF oud fragrance wafted over me.
Through the crack in the door, leaned a man holding a half-empty glass of champagne. He wore a dark blue haute couture silk bathrobe, the collar open, revealing his deliberately muscular chest.
It's Carl. He's currently a rising star in Hollywood, a second-tier celebrity.
It was also the culprit that ruined my marriage.
Ironically, the $5,000 bathrobe Karl was wearing was a gift I bought for Elena's birthday with the money I earned from staying up three all-nighters revising the script. Now, it was loosely draped over this man's shoulders.
"Oh, entering the password?" Karl swirled the wine glass in his hand, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Didn't Elena tell you? The locks on this house were just changed yesterday, and the current password is my birthday."
I stared intently at that exquisite yet arrogant face, saying nothing, but simply shielding Lily behind me.
"Why aren't you saying anything? You couldn't make it out there, so you've finally decided to back down?" Karl turned to the side and made an exaggerated "please come in" gesture. "Come in, Elena is waiting for you in the living room. Just letting you know in advance, so you don't get the newly changed carpet dirty."
I led Lily into the entryway.
曾经极简而朴素的客厅如今被各种奢华的镀金装饰塞满了。爱马仕橙色盒子散落在巨大的皮沙发上，空气中弥漫着昂贵却令人窒息的化妆品香味，每一寸都炫耀着女主人在好莱坞电影行业的地位。
“敲，敲，敲。”
高跟鞋在螺旋楼梯上敲击的声音响起。
埃琳娜身穿贴身黑色丝绸连衣裙，手里叼着一根细烟，缓缓走下楼梯。三年过去了，时间的恩惠似乎降临在她身上;权力和金钱如同浸入毒药的黑玫瑰般滋养着她。
她停在楼梯拐角，低头看着站在门口的父女。
“我还以为你会在好莱坞街头饿死，带着你那荒谬的傲慢呢。”埃琳娜呼出一口烟雾，声音慵懒而冰冷。“什么，你写了三年的'伟大'剧本，还是没人要？”
我的喉结上下动了一下：“埃琳娜，我只想要一个莉莉能睡觉的房间。我不想要别的。”
“想要房间吗？当然。”埃琳娜嗤之以鼻，指向走廊尽头。“保姆以前住的储藏室现在空了。我收留你只是出于旧友谊。但亚瑟，记住这一点。”
她走下最后两级台阶，走向我，高跟鞋的鞋尖几乎碰到我的运动鞋。
“现在，在这房子里，我是制片人，卡尔是一部票房即将达成数百万票房的大片的男主角。而你——“埃琳娜用拿着烟的手指敲了敲我的胸膛，”你不过是个被行业拒绝的垃圾。你可以留在这里，但闭嘴，乖乖听话。明白了吗？”
我没有躲开她的目光，眼中充满死寂：“我明白。”
“乖孩子。”埃琳娜满意地笑了笑，转身走向沙发。“卡尔，把我刚才看的合同拿来。”
就在这时，一声清脆的玻璃破碎声打破了寂静。
“我的箱子！”莉莉突然尖叫，声音因泪水颤抖。
我猛地转头。
卡尔不知怎么出现在入口的行李柜台，手里拿着一个被砸得粉碎的木制音乐盒。这是我花了一个月手工雕刻给莉莉的生日礼物，也是过去三年里唯一让女儿夜不能寐的东西。
“我的手滑了。”卡尔不由自主地耸耸肩，甚至伸出拖鞋，随意地踢开木头碎片。“那只是一块断木头。明天我让助理去商场给她买一块价值十万元的水晶。”
莉莉挣脱了我的手，冲过去跪在地上，拼命想把破碎的木片抱进怀里，泪水顺着脸颊滑落在地毯上：“没有水晶......爸爸做的......”
我感到脑中嗡嗡作响，一股嗜血的冲动直冲头顶端。
三年前，当我发现埃琳娜和卡尔之间模糊的关系时，我愤怒不已，砸碎东西，像疯子一样质疑。
但此刻，我没有疯狂。
我慢慢蹲下，帮女儿捡起碎片。我的手指被刺破，鲜红的鲜血渗出，但我没有感到疼痛。
我的目光慢慢从地上的木屑移到卡尔得意的笑容，再转向坐在沙发上冷冷看着的埃琳娜，她甚至有些恼火。
A feeling of utter absurdity suddenly struck me.
For the past three years, I've been pulling my hair out in my rented room, trying to write about the brilliance of humanity and the struggles amidst suffering, only to be ridiculed by all the producers for being "out of touch with reality" and "lacking in conflict."
And now, the most extreme arrogance, the most naked greed, and the most disgusting vanity are standing right in front of me, vividly and without reservation.
They were laughing wildly, giving alms, and crushing everything with their power.
Isn't this the perfect script?
My pupils dilated slightly, and my heartbeat suddenly slowed down. Immediately afterward, a chilling electric current shot from my tailbone straight to the back of my head.
Those inspirations that had been dormant for three years, those talents that had been stifled by rejection letters, were smashed to pieces by the hands of this group of people at this moment, and then burst forth in an even more frenzied and violent manner!
“Let’s go, Lily.” My voice was unusually calm. I picked up my daughter and stuffed the shards into my pocket.
"Hey, did I say something wrong?" Karl called out from behind, annoyed. "Stop pretending to be so high and mighty..."
"Forget it, Karl." Elena leaned back on the sofa, rubbing her temples in annoyance. "Ignore this good-for-nothing. Come here and look at this version of the male lead's lines."
I didn't look back. I carried my daughter and walked straight to the dark and cramped nanny's room at the end of the corridor.
Pushing open the door, I found only a single bed and a rickety old desk inside. The air smelled musty, as if the room hadn't been ventilated in a long time.
I gently placed Lily on the bed and wiped the dust and tears off her hands with a wet wipe.
“Daddy…” Lily sobbed, gripping my fingers tightly, “They are bad people.”
“Yes, they are bad people.” I lowered my head and placed a very light kiss on my daughter’s forehead. “So, Daddy is going to write them into the story. Sweetie, go to sleep. When you wake up tomorrow, everything will be different.”
Watching my daughter fall into a deep sleep from exhaustion, I turned around and walked towards the old, worn-out desk.
I pulled a black notebook with frayed edges and a pen from the faded canvas bag.
Outside the window, the extravagant lifestyle of Beverly Hills was unfolding; outside the door, the faint sounds of Elena and Carl flirting and laughing could be heard.
I ignored them. I sat down at the rickety table, my back ramrod straight, like a king about to go to battle.
My hands didn't shake; on the contrary, they were incredibly steady.
He turned to the blank first page and the pen fell heavily onto the ground.
"Power is never something that can be given away..."
Rustle, rustle.
The sound of the pen nib scratching on the paper echoed in the quiet nanny's room, growing faster and harder.
No outline or concept was needed; the breathtaking power games and the lines that tore apart Hollywood's hypocritical mask poured onto the paper like a flood.
"The Actor of Power".
A masterpiece destined to send those outside the door tonight, along with their proud capitalist empire, to utter hell, resonated with its first deadly echo in this dark corner of less than ten square meters.
In the dead of night.
The tyrant of Hollywood has opened his eyes.

3/ Rags and Ritches-
My Billionaire Husband's Secret
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.
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.
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.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
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...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
Mating Moon
The Legacy Game
When scholarship student Chris Linds stumbles onto a mystery someone has killed to protect, she becomes the next target. The only person standing between her and death is Ashen Ford, the academy's cold, untouchable Student Council President—and heir to one of Corvain's founding families.
As anonymous invitations summon twelve students into the legendary Legacy Game, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and every challenge brings another deadly truth to light. But the greatest secret isn't who will win.
It's why one winner vanished without a trace... and why someone will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
