Introduction
"It hurts. Can you be gentle? I’m already married to you. Did you give the money to my brother?”
Their marriage is a trade-off. On the night of the wedding, she still thought of another man.
He stormed off angrily and left her alone.
The life afterwards wasn’t like what she had imagined. He spoiled her like a can of honey. He can satisfy whatever she wants—even if it’s the stars in the sky.

Chapter 1
Kora looked exhausted and desperate, as if someone took her soul away. Tears ran down from her eyes, looking sad. She curled up and sat down on the carpet.
Suddenly, she heard someone opening the door in the foyer. Kora looked to the direction. There was a man wearing a dark gray suit and coming up with a cold look.
The two gazed at each other. And that look almost burned a hole through her hollow heart, which was already trembling and hurt like hell. Up to now, she was still in the shock of the scene of her bestie dying right in front of her. Her body was deformed. And the flesh? …
She propped herself up and felt dizzy for a moment. There were empty bottles all over the floor. She didn't know how much she drank. The headache was almost killing her. Yet still, she staggered towards the man.
'Bluce, do you still want some women?" She pulled up the corners of her mouth, far-fetched. Her laughing was even uglier than crying.
'…" The man puckered his eagle eyebrow. The handsome face was expressionless. She must've been drinking like hell. You could smell her breath from the door.
Kora saw that he didn't respond. She was in a hurry so she rushed forward and grabbed his suit, circling on his chest with her fingers, 'I want to be your woman!"
The man shook off her finger and sneered. 'You are drunk."
'I'm NOT!" She smiled like a flower, and her nose tip was red. Yet her tears were swirling in her eyes. 'I am SOBER now than ever!"
The man's sexy lips flitted past Kora's ears, 'Do you know what you should do as my woman?"
'Sure." Kora's fingers went down all the way, unbuttoned his suit, groped for his abs and muscles through his shirt. And then, she put her fingers into his pants.
The man grabbed her little hand, pushed her down on the sofa, and pulled her dress violently with his slender white fingers.
'There's only on condition!" When Kora saw it, she knew very well what would happen next. Her throat was tight. 'You need a girlfriend, a celebrity. Well, you're looking at one. I need you to cooperate with me to fight against Jack, CEO of YM Group."
'I am just a playboy. No real power~"
'No. You are the BOSS behind Angel Capital, and I need your help."
'…" No one could EVER find out his true identity unless his people leaked the secret.
Kora reached out to pull his hand. The next second, she was suddenly turned over by him. He approached to her ear. 'I want your body, your heart, EVERYTHING!"
He said it word by word. The deep and magnetic voice was filling the air. The hot breath was driving people nuts. Kora was intimidated, really. She flushed at him and couldn't even lift up her head.
It's just that…the man in front of her was like a LION—King of Jungle. The shyer she showed, the more eager he was to possess and control this beautiful creature.
'You were kinda aggressive just now. Now what?? Blushing and pretending to be pure? '
'What are you talking about?" Stubborn as her, she turned her face away. 'Are you impotent? I think you're impotent! You don't want the public to know about your ‘skeleton in the cupboard', do you?"
'Impotent? Huh." Bluce lifted his lips without laughing, grabbed her hand and pressed it on his dick. 'Am I? You know better than anyone else!"
Kora's face instantly flushed with shame, and even her body began to become inexplicably hot. She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her boobs. 'Do you want it?"

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
4.4k Views · Ongoing · Blessing Imafidon
They were already married for three years when Alpha Damian Zeus’s long-lost first love, Lily, returned bringing along a five-year-old pup.
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

Let Them Kneel

Kaelani spent her life believing she was wolfless.
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.

Bella and Her Beast

For all the little girls who grew up wondering what happens after the prince kisses the girl—this is the story they never told you.
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.
Damien is the Beast. A dragon King with a temper forged in flame and a soul hollowed by duty. The world fears him. The people call him a monster. But beneath the scales and the rage lies a man who has never been touched by love.
When frost meets fire, the world shatters. She was never meant to leave her tower. He was never meant to find her. But destiny doesn’t bow to kings or care for cages and now the question burns through them both: Can Bella have her Beast? Or will the girl of snow melt in the heat of his desire?
.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

My Perverse: You're mine, you son of a bitch

AN AGE GAP, FORCED PROXIMITY, BLACK FLAG ROMANCE
Vincenzo Valentini is a man who sees the world as a business counter and human beings as merchandise.
The owner of an empire built upon corpses and submission, he is the reflection of pure perversity.
When fate places Andrew Thompson, the son of his greatest rival, into his hands, the plan was simple: use him, break him, and discard him like a toy that has lost its appeal.
What Vincenzo did not expect was that, beneath the youthful skin and the appearance of innocence, Andrew hid the same abyss as he did.
Vincenzo never wanted redemption. He never wanted someone to save him from his own darkness. He was seeking a mirror. And in Andrew, he found the partner who, upon seeing his blood-stained hands, does not recoil in terror, but trembles with desire.
In this perverse game, the "little toy" proves to be the perfect executioner. The mafia leader found someone who not only accepts his cruel side but cultivates it, feeding the monster Vincenzo has always been.
Where there should have been fear, lust emerged. Where there should have been hatred, a perverse loyalty was born. Andrew Thompson is the dark reflection of Vincenzo, the soldier the underworld did not see coming, and the man who proved that, for some, paradise only makes sense if it is in the middle of chaos.
Vincenzo opened the doors to his empire, but Andrew was the only one capable of invading his heart.
They are not heroes. They are hell on earth.
