THE BILLONAIRE WIFE IS BORN FOR A RUTHLESS REVENGE
Ifeanyi Ikwo · Completed · 208.7k Words
Introduction
His fingers hung dangerously over the trigger; I shook as far as my binds would let me, tears rolling down to the gag in my mouth… that muffled my cries.
But even as I had the gun pointed at my head, my husband was not looking at me; his eyes were purely placed on Liliana.
“Talk to me, you bastard!.. You have to choose between your wife or your first love.”
On her wedding day, Aurora chased after her runaway groom who went to console his first love, only to be kidnapped along with that woman and tortured for 3 days straight until she was met with the ultimate pain; her fiancée, who she thought would turn to her forever, choosing another woman over her and not only that but confessing that his first love was carrying his child too. Just like she was, except he would never find out. At least not in that life; she took a bullet to the head and was reborn on the day of her wedding. When he runs off to meet his first love and console her again, she doesn't foolishly chase after him; rather, she walks towards his brother, the most desirable bachelor in the city, and says, “Will you marry me instead?"
Chapter 1
Aurora's POV
"You'll have to make a choice, you bastard! Your wife or your first love?"
I trembled in my binds, my once luxurious wedding gown torn and shredded, watching my fiancé’s eyes migrate on the screen between Liliana and Liliana. His Adam’s apple bobbed hard as the laptop remained on the wooden table where it was placed.
"I raise the ransom to 10 million, spare them both…"
"No!" Our masked kidnapper stomped his feet against the concrete floor, a plume of dust rising from his feet, and the metallic walls of the abandoned warehouse seemed to shrink as he waved his gun around, then pressed it into my head until I could feel the cold metal touch my scalp.
"Don't test me, Stone. Your family has always thought that it was untouchable... Felt on top of the world, didn't you? You didn't care about who you needed to stomp down to get there?"
His fingers hung dangerously over the trigger; I shook as far as my binds would let me, tears rolling down to the gag in my mouth… that muffled my cries.
But even as I had the gun pointed at my head, my husband was not looking at me; his eyes were purely placed on Liliana.
He stood between the two of us, planting his hands on the chairs that we were tied to, tilting his head slightly from side to side as he said, "tik...tok tik...tok... You have just 1 minute left to choose."
"You told me that I had 5 hours!"
"Well, you made me angry... 52 seconds..."
Nolan took a deep breath, his chest lifting. His eyes found me, and my tears intensified.
"Aurora... You've always been there for me, even after my father disowned me; you didn't leave my side. If it wasn't for you, I would have never gotten my position back and made Stone Corporations what it is today; I owe you everything..."
The tears in my eyes turned into waterfalls. It had already been 3 days of this torment, and each day that I watched my beloved so far, a little part of me died.
I just wanted this to end.
"But Aurora..." His gaze melted towards Liliana, "If I don't save her right now, two lives will be lost, rather than just one."
The sickening kidnapper laughed, "This is getting interesting... Let's see what you have to say!" He roughly tore off my gag and did the same to Liliana.
Gradually, I craned my neck towards the other captive woman in the room and asked, "Liliana, are you... Pregnant?"
For the longest time, silence swallowed the air around us, then she gave me a small nod.
"Y-yes, I am..."
I gasped. "Why didn't you tell me anything all this time? Is that why you needed more blood transfusions recently?"
She nodded again, and my head began to spin as my confused expression bounced between her and Nolan.
"Why didn't either of you tell me? We could have celebrated!"
The kidnapper was laughing even louder now.
"You're really not as smart as you look, lady. Think... think hard..." He grabbed the back of my neck, artificially twisting it between Liliana and Nolan, "Why do you think they wouldn't tell you?"
Neither of them could meet my eyes.
A horrifying thought took root in my mind, but I refused to allow it to flourish.
"Nolan wouldn't...he couldn't..."
"Two weeks ago, he was attending the merger of a former school friend’s company. At least that was what he told you. But what he was actually doing was enjoying a weekend Cruise with his wonderful first love to celebrate the pregnancy..."
Hearing this, I expected the man that I had loved without bounds for over 7 years to call it lies, but he just kept grinding his teeth and his eyes fixed on the floor as the kidnapper kept detailing months of secret meetups.
Suddenly it all made sense: the distinct smell of feminine perfume that I would always find on his clothes when washing, love marks I didn't leave on his body appearing, late nights at the office, receipts for restaurants that we never went to.
All of it where pieces were puzzles that are refused to see, now a clear, glaring image in my eyes.
"How could you?" I said; neither of them would speak, I said it again louder so that they couldn't hear the sound of my heart breaking into a thousand pieces underneath it.
"How long... How long have both of you been stabbing me in the back?"
Clara gulped, "It was an accident...we didn't-"
"So you fell on his d**k, right?" I snarled at her.
"Aurora, you don't have to yell at Liliana like that; she's not at fault. I'm...I'm the one who pursued her first when she came back," he said it like that was supposed to make my anger snap into nothingness, then continued shamelessly, "... Our life was steady, you are my anchor... But when Liliana returned, I suddenly remembered what it felt like to let down my sails again...to truly live, it was always meant to be temporary, something brief for old time's sake. In the end, it was you that will be my wife."
My vision swam as more tears flooded my eyes.
"Then what about the baby you're going to have... Was that going to be temporary too?"
He visibly flinched before he could speak; the kidnapper clasped his gloved hands together.
"Time’s up, make your choice, stone..."
Nolan looked at me, a look of regret playing through his features that made my insides churn with disgust.
"I hope you can forgive me, Aurora... I'll never forget you."
He looked straight at the kidnapper.
"I'll get you your money, cold, clean cash. Just don't hurt the mother of my baby."
F**king b*sterd.
He had no idea, no clue.
That she wasn't the only one.
But I didn't speak up.
"Stop hiding behind the pregnancy like a coward..." I sneered at him through my tears, "You chose her… you've chosen her every time you shared a bed with her. Don't pretend like you ever cared."
He couldn't even deny it; the kidnapper held up his gun to my head.
"Any last words?"
"If I die, you better hope I stay dead, Nolan Stone, because if I return, I'll make you regret the day you were born."

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia

Then the truth came out.

Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.

Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.

It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
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.
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.
Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
BROKEN TRUST

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

Reborn and Unleashed: The Boss Lady Takes No Prisoners

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?
