Introduction
"Who are you? I don't know you," Pearl answered fearfully. He stroked Pearl's flawless skin with the tips of his fingers, then took hold of her jaw. Pearl opened her eyes wide at once. Her breath stopped. This time, she will die.
"You know me well, doll. You are my mate.”
Pearl Rosental has one big dream: to get the best position at a famous design company, The Excellor Enterprise. Therefore, she worked hard to get the opportunity to participate in their internship program. Unfortunately, her father and stepmother forced her to marry the Kerrent’s only heir, Taggart. Pearl rejected Taggart as her mate, despite his urgent need to imprint her. Later, she learns that Taggart is The Excellor's president and owner.
When he finds out about her, Taggart never take a step back from his obsession. Pearl is more than just a mate; she also keeps a big secret about her blood, which captivates Taggart's cousin, Damian. Damian and his father, Matthew, have been trying to steal the Alpha’s crown for a hundred years. Damian falls for Pearl, which will bring him one step closer to becoming the next Alpha.
Chapter 1
*His breath roared closer, frightening Pearl even more. The man approached Pearl until his nose tip nearly touched hers. Pearl held her breath as if she were going to die. His golden brown eyes captivated Pearl from pushing.
The man then hissed, "Stop squirming, Babydoll. I won't let you go," without blinking his eyes, frightening Pearl as he restrained her body.
"Who are you? I don't know you," Pearl answered fearfully. He stroked Pearl's flawless skin with the tips of his fingers, then took hold of her jaw. Pearl opened her eyes wide at once. Breath stopped. This time, she will die.
"You know me well, Doll.” The man's loud hissing continued. Pearl still shook her head, but the man grinned broadly.
"You are my mate, and I will enjoy your body now."
"No, please don't. Let me go!" Pearl made an effort to scream. Yet, her voice didn't seem to want to come out. The man grew farther away and suddenly transformed into a hideous monster. Pearl slammed her eyes closed. He bit Pearl's neck painfully when she cried out at the top of her lungs.
"No!"*
Her sister Briana came to shake Pearl. She appeared due to Pearl's scream in the middle of the night.
"Pearl, Pearl! Get up! Pearl, what's wrong with you?" Pearl was battling something in her sleep as Briana yelled at her. At last, waking up, she cried. Pearl snorted awake. She quickly hugged Briana. Briana was also scared to see her sister having a seizure while asleep.
"What happened? Had you a bad dream?" Briana asked as she let Pearl go of her hug. Pearl was yet gasping for air. Her face was still pale with fear.
"A man appeared in my dream and strangled me. He turned into a terrible monster and then bit my neck," said Pearl, trying to retell her dream. While rubbing her head, Briana also looked worriedly at Pearl.
"I'm so scared." Pearl sighed again, covering her face with her hands.
"You dreamed the same thing again?" Briana asked in a worried tone. Pearl nodded, then looked down.
"Don't worry, it was just a nightmare. Nothing happened to you, Pearl." Pearl nodded, then took a deep breath. It feels calmer after returning to the real world.
"Yeah, I hope that dream will dissapear. It feels really bad."
Pearl had to carry on resting as it was still night. Briana also slept in Pearl's room to accompany her. Pearl's nightmares, however, will keep her from sleeping ever again. Who is the man who turned into a monster? Pearl doesn't want to remember it anymore. His face remained stuck in Pearl's mind all this time, even though she didn't know him.
In the morning, Pearl received a surprise email notification. When he read the email from a large company, his eyes widened.
"Oh my God, this is amazing!" Pearl squealed so happily. The bad sensation from the nightmare of yesterday night disappeared. Pearl bolted, yelling from the room.
"Daddy, Daddy, look! I got it. I got the intership from Excellor!"
John got out of his chair immediately and glanced at Pearl's cell phone email. Broadly grinning, he gave Pearl a hug of congratulations. Keith, Briana, and John were also grinning widely.
"Oh, congratulations, sweetheart. You did it. Oh, I'm so proud of you!" said John, hugging Pearl. Pearl was thrilled and gratified when, following the internship program, she was hired by Excellor Enterprise for an excellent position.
"You are amazing, dear!" Keith joins in praising Pearl. Pearl remembered to hug her older brother.
"Thank you very much, brother. You always support me." Keith smiled broadly, then hugged Pearl once again. Briana and Keith exchanged hugs and then laughed together. Seeing his three children made John very happy. Pearl's remarkable intelligence, generosity, and achievements especially thrilled John to see her.
After reading the email again, Briana said, "I heard that the company also provides scholarships for master's programs for those who pass internships there." Pearl smiled broadly and nodded.
"Yes. It has been my dream all along to get in there. Oh, I'm so happy!" said Pearl, moving. She even shed tears. Her dream of becoming a well-known interior designer will come true. Excellor is a famous company today. Making her way through an internship program is an honor.
Suddenly, Sandra came to scold her, "What is it?" Sandra frowned, not liking to see Pearl happy. However, Pearl still showed a different manner, although her stepmother didn't want her.
"Mom, look. Excellor took me as an intern. I am so happy!" Pearl smiled broadly and then showed Sandra the email she received. Sandra skimmed the email and then glanced at her husband, John, who was still smiling.
"You know all this?" Sandra rebuked John. Pearl immediately turned flat. Likewise, Briana and Keith needed clarification.
"Yes," John answered briefly with an unsmiling face.
"And you just let her go? She can't work there now!" said Sandra, surprising Pearl. Pearl needed clarification. Her brow furrowed in misapprehension.
"What do you mean, Mom? Why can't I work there?" Pearl asked perplexedly. Sandra half threw Pearl's cell phone down on the dining table like she was pissed at the situation. She turned to John. He said nothing.
"John, tell her what she has to do," Sandra ordered John tensely. John glanced at his children one by one. The joy that had appeared before now disappeared instantly.
"What's going on, Dad?" Pearl asked her father.
"It," John seemed hesitant to say. Meanwhile, Sandra crossed her arms, pressuring John to speak more truth. John had no choice.
"Tomorrow night, Pearl has to come to a ball dinner. Your future husband will introduce himself." John finally spoke. Pearl and her two siblings were so shocked.
"What? What do you mean, Dad?" Pearl gasped in disbelief. Sandra then grabbed Pearl's arm because she wanted to approach her father.
"We have decided to marry you now."
"But I'm going to Excellor, Mom. I can't get married now!" Pearl denied rejecting the unexpected match. Sandra shook her head, then glared forcefully at Pearl. She will not lose the opportunity to become part of his future son-in-law's family.
"You have to do it. This is your father's decision, and you will obey him."
"But,"
"Stop this useless idea of Excellor. If you marry him, you will never have to work for the rest of your life!"

The Contract Wife: Marriage Of Malice
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snapped—something he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word please—low, ragged, almost broken—undid me more than anything else could have.
Ella never imagined she would marry the man she had secretly loved for years in such a way.
When her brother Theo faced twenty-five years in prison for massive embezzlement, the ruthless business tycoon James Lancaster offered her a deal: marry him in exchange for her brother's freedom.
This wasn't a fairy tale proposal, but a carefully orchestrated revenge. Because in James's heart, Ella was the culprit who had killed his sister Cecilia. He wanted her to pay the price—to atone with a lifetime of suffering.
A pack of their own
To protect what’s mine
In Bed With My Ex's Brother-in-Law
On the day her ex, Mark, married the wealthy socialite Bella, Elena was thrown out with nothing but the clothes on her back—humiliated, broken, and utterly alone.
Until Eric Thompson appeared.
Bella’s older brother. Mark’s powerful brother-in-law. And the most feared Alpha in the city.
He offered her a hand when no one else would. Then, he offered her a deal:
A marriage in name only. A shield against her past. A chance to rebuild.
Elena accepted, expecting a cold arrangement between strangers. But behind closed doors, Eric’s carefully guarded control unraveled—and so did hers. Their chemistry was explosive, their nights intense, and the lines between business and pleasure blurred beyond recognition.
He was the one man she could never have… and the only one she couldn’t resist.
But when Mark realizes what he truly lost, and Bella discovers the secret behind her brother’s bride, Elena must decide:
Is this just a contract?
Or is this the love she was always meant to fight for?
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
Underwater: The Silent Luna
It sounded like fate. Like rescue. Like the moment the universe finally chose her.
Even with the suspicion clinging to the proposal, Meadow let herself believe it. She stepped into the marriage blindly, hoping love would fill the quiet spaces of her mute, colourless life.
But the truth comes fast, and cruel.
The Alpha never asked for her. Never wanted her. Luna Amber arranged everything without his consent, driven by selfish motives Meadow couldn’t see until it was too late. What should have been tender and sacred becomes a cage, and Meadow is trapped in a nightmare she can’t wake from.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
The Vampire Prince's Hybrid Bride
COLD (Ruthless Player)
“Please… Nick, wait.” He pulled out, thrusted back in. “How much? Twenty thousand? Fifty? Hundred?” With every question, he thrust harder and harder. My neurons are frying with the confusing feeling in my brain. Torn between pleasure, fear, and panic. I couldn't utter a single sentence to save my life.
His cold eyes pinned me in place while he plundered my body with deep thrusts, which only added to my confusion. My dumb body mistook the mixed signals, my pussy becoming even wetter than before.
“I hope she'd paid you well, because I'm going to fuck you all night long, hard,” he growled. “Sleep, then do it all over again. I want to feel you come for me, Andrea, want to feel you squeeze my cock, milking me.
Begging for me to give you the high only I can, I'm going to fucked you until I fuck all my wife's money's worth, I want you to remember how hard I took you while you're meeting her.” I sobbed, moaned, and tried to scramble out under him.
“No, please…Nick, let….let me explain.” Nick abruptly pulled out. His eyes were cold but hooded.
Andrea was sent to take down billionaire magnate Nicklaus Montgomery.
Her mission was simple: get close, seduce him, find the proof, and disappear. Instead Andrea finds herself exposed—cornered into signing a contract that binds her to Nicklaus's side as his lover. Now she’s living in his world of wealth, danger, and secrets… and the deeper she falls into his bed, the harder it becomes to remember what side she's on.

Three years later, fate drags them back into each other’s world, along with a little girl who has Ryan’s eyes and a truth that shatters everything he thought he knew.
Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?

3/ Rags and Ritches-
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
