Introduction
However, Leon was the useless son-in-law that everyone looked down upon, but no one knew his true identity.
When Leon turned around and sat in his Rolls-Royce Phantom, those who had looked down on him knelt before him, calling him "BOSS" in terror!
His wife cried and begged him: "Leon，I still love you, please don't leave me."
His mother-in-law knelt down and said: "Boss, I know I was wrong!"
Chapter 1
Inside the luxurious suburban villa of the Herman Family.
The patriarch of the Herman Family, Patrick Herman, loudly announced, "Kids, I recently inherited our ancestors' estate, and I believe this inheritance shouldn't belong to me alone, so I plan to distribute it fairly to everyone."
Upon hearing this, the members of the Herman Family all showed expressions of joy.
"Oh my God, is this true? Patrick, thank you for your generosity." someone exclaimed, out of joy.
Patrick smiled and said,,"Jackson, I know you love surfing, so I'm giving you a beachfront vacation villa worth about two million dollars. Lucy, I know you're interested in sports cars, so I've prepared the latest Ferrari for you. As for you, Molly..."
At this moment, Leon Corleone spoke up, "Patrick, although I know there's nothing for me, could you give me a lawnmower? It would make mowing the lawn much easier for me."
After he finished speaking, the members of the Herman Family looked at him in disbelief.
Leon was Caitlin Herman's husband.
Four years ago, Patrick's wife forced their granddaughter Caitlin to marry the homeless Leon, and on the day Leon and Caitlin got married, Patrick's wife suddenly died of a heart attack. The reason for her insistence on this marriage remained ambiguous.
After the marriage, the entire Herman Family despised Leon because he couldn't make money and spent his days sweeping, cooking, and mowing the lawn.
Hearing Leon's words, Patrick said disdainfully, "Leon, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?"
Caitlin quickly explained, "Patrick, Leon was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."
After speaking, she tried to pull Leon to the corner.
However, Caitlin's sister, Molly Herman, spoke up, "Caitlin, your husband isn't even a member of the Herman Family, and he wants to get the Herman Family inheritance? Doesn't he know any shame?"
"That's right, besides the Herman Family members, there are so many other guests here today. It's really embarrassing for him to say such things!" Jackson Herman, standing on the right, spoke up. He was Patrick's favorite grandson.
Jackson had held a grudge towards Caitlin since childhood, so he spoke without mercy.
Listening to the insults from the Herman Family members, Leon lowered his head.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the door. "Patrick, the president of Corleone Investment Bank, Steve Hamilton, is here!"
Corleone Investment Bank was an investment bank similar to Goldman Sachs and Morgan Bank, and was well-known internationally.
As the president of Corleone Investment Bank, Steve was naturally an important figure in high society.
"Patrick, please forgive me for coming uninvited. To express my apologies, here I take a gift!" Steve took the initiative to speak, handing over a beautifully wrapped gift box.
"No, Mr. Hamilton. Your presence is an honor for the Herman Family," Patrick said in the warmest voice.
He opened the gift box and found a bank card inside!
With a pair of firm and sincere eyes, steve announced solemnly, "Patrick, this bank card contains five million dollars. This is a gift I prepared for Caitlin. From the moment I first saw Caitlin, I fell deeply in love with her. And I know Caitlin's marriage is not happy. So as long as Caitlin is willing to marry me, this five million dollars will belong to her!"
After Steve finished speaking, the members of the Herman Family were all shocked.
"Caitlin, I know this is very sudden for you, but I really love you. Please consider it seriously." Steve smiled at Caitlin and then left.
After Steve left, the people in the villa finally started whispering, their faces full of envy, shock, and hatred.
"Oh my God, why is Caitlin so lucky? If she can marry Steve, it's unimaginable what her future life will be like!" Someone exclaimed.
"If Caitlin marries Steve, it will also be very beneficial for the Herman Family!" someone added.
Patrick thought for a few minutes and said, "Leon, as long as you divorce Caitlin, I am willing to give you two million dollars in the name of the family, and also a house for the bestowal. How about that?"
Leon looked at Caitlin beside him and firmly said, "Patrick, I don't care about the money. I just want to be with Caitlin."
Patrick frowned and angrily roared, "Ungrateful bastard, who do you think you are? You piece of trash, you’re not welcome here, fuck off!"
Leon was stunned for a moment. Patrick's reaction made him feel very uncomfortable. But the guards had already stepped forward, so he had to turn and walk towards the door.
"Leon..." Caitlin hesitated, not knowing whether to follow him out.
"Cut the crap! You will be kicked off the Herman Family once you step out of here! Consider it!" Noticing Caitlin's expression, Patrick said in a cold tone.
Leon said, "Never mind, Caitlin. I can take care of myself. Just stay here."
After saying that, he left.
At this moment, his phone received a text message.
The message read: [Leon, we are in trouble and need you.]
Looking at the content of the message, Leon frowned.
Four years ago, he had been stripped of his inheritance rights by the Corleone Family and expelled from the Corleone Manor.
Fortunately, he met Caitlin's grandmother, Delilah Herman, on the street.
Delilah brought Leon back to the Herman Mansion and arranged for him to marry Caitlin, which had unknowingly changed his whole life.
For this, Leon had always been grateful.
Although Caitlin was very cold to him and refused to share a room with him, he still fell in love with her.
While Leon was reminiscing, another text message suddenly came through: [Dear Leon, please reply as soon as possible. Four years ago, you purchased an oil well, and now the well has been found to contain oil. The company has gone public! And the Corleone Family is facing bankruptcy due to failed investments. The family needs your help.]
Leon was very surprised. Four years ago, he did indeed spend over a hundred million dollars on an oil well, which led the Corleone Family to believe he had embezzled family funds.
But now, the oil well had actually been found to contain oil, and its market value had increased hundreds of times?
Leon called the bank's customer service.
"Dear Mr. Corleone, how can I assist you?" A sweet voice came through the phone.
"Check the balance of my bank account," Leon said.
"Mr. Corleone, you are our bank's highest-level customer. I do not have the authority to check your balance. If you insist this, I need to apply to the higher department. Please wait, and I will get back to you," the service agent replied respectfully.
"Okay." Leon hung up the phone, joy and surprise filled his heart.
When Leon got home, Caitlin had already driven back ahead of him.
Besides Caitlin, there were two other guests at home, Matilda Cole and Caden Allen, both of whom were Caitlin's friends.
At this moment, Matilda said with a serious expression. "Caitlin, I heard your company is having a tough time?"
Caitlin hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded and replied, "Yes, my company is currently facing a cash flow problem and needs at least 8 million dollars to operate normally."
Matilda frowned, "8 million dollars? Where are you going to get that much money?"
Caitlin felt frustrated and, seeing Leon standing in the corner, said coldly, "Leon, why are you still standing here? Go clean the toilet right now!"
Leon obediently walked towards the bathroom, and at that moment, his phone rang.
"Dear Mr. Corleone, you have placed your assets in offshore accounts. The bank suggests you take some time to visit the bank personally."
Leon nodded, "Okay, I'll go to the bank when I get free."
After hanging up the phone, he said to Caitlin, "Honey, I can give you 8 million dollars."
Hearing this, Caden laughed mockingly, "Leon, you have 8 million dollars? What’re you saying? In your dreams, are you? How could you, a trash, own that much money? You must be bragging!"
Leon chuckled, "Caden, are you so sure I don't have it? What if I do have 8 million dollars?"
Caden said playfully, "Wanna a bet? If you really have 8 million dollars, then I'll follow all your orders."
Leon calmly said, "Sounds great. But let me make it clear to you, whoever breaks his word is a real trash!"

Fated to the Enemy: The Alpha's Witch Bride
My touch tames his inner beast.
… Until I find another woman’s bite mark on his neck.
As a holy witch, I shouldn't be sneaking out for Zuri—a cursed shape-shifter from a rival clan.
But our forbidden heat is intoxicating.
When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
Is a fresh, undeniable bite mark.
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.
Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.

But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?
The Billionaire's Surrogate's Secret
“Who said that’s still fucking true? We stopped being just man and surrogate the first time our eyes met.” He walked towards me, boring into my eyes with those eyes of his. “I fucking want you, Vanessa.”
My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.
It was killing me.

MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.
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?

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...

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

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.

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.
