Introduction
Tears welled up in my eyes as I glared at him and shouted back, "Yes! So what? We have nothing between us.Who the hell are you to question me?"
Kingsley burst into laughter, his laugh so sinister that it sent chills down my spine; looking at him, I felt both terrified and utterly estranged.
"He's a gentleman, sure, but can he make you climax in bed?" It was only then that I realized Kingsley had backed me into a corner.
His hand slid my short skirt up, his fingers teasing along the edge of my already drenched panties.
"Miss Erin, you're soaked for me!"
Chapter 1
Erin's POV:
"Kai! Fuck me!" I couldn't help but urge kai.
Kai was my fiancé. Today he texted me to meet him at this hotel.
I never thought he actually wanted to spend this wonderful night with me!
Today was also my 18th birthday! Everything was so perfect!
The man's penis thrust into my body. I moaned loudly.
"Kai! Fuck me!"
But a stranger's voice rang in my ear: "Wrong name! My name is..."
...
"Ding." I was woken by my phone ringing.
Dad's number was flashing on the screen. I swiped to answer, and his furious voice nearly shattered the speaker.
"Erin! Get home right now!"
The call ended. I realized I was alone in the huge bed.
Kai probably went to handle some business.
Fragments of last night's memories flooded back: yesterday I received my college acceptance letter, the whole family was celebrating for me, my stepsister Gloria handed me champagne with fine bubbles, I got a text from Kai.
Then I made love with my fiancé Kai!
Thinking about this, I couldn't stop blushing.
I threw on clothes and hurried downstairs. As the car drove through the familiar estate gates, I was still figuring out how to explain to Dad.
Although sleeping with my fiancé wasn't inappropriate, he was so angry and urgently calling me home. It must be related to my not coming home last night.
I pushed open the door. Dad sat in the center of the sofa, his face ashen.
"Kneel down!" Dad commanded coldly.
Before I could react, two made men stepped forward, gripping my shoulders from both sides. My knees hit the floor hard, making me gasp from the pain.
"Dad, what happened?"
He suddenly threw a stack of photos at my face. The photos scattered on the ground.
They were photos of me at the hotel last night. I didn't know how Dad got these.
"You were so desperate you went and fooled around with some random man!"
Dad's roar made my eardrums ache.
He slapped my face. My mouth immediately filled with the taste of blood.
"I've always told you to control your pussy. That's for Kai to use! It's your only purpose! Now you're not a virgin anymore. How can you fulfill your engagement to Kai!"
Hearing Dad so bluntly treat me like a high-class prostitute still made me angry.
He'd educated me this way since childhood. My purpose was to marry for the family's benefit.
I had to ensure I remained a virgin so I could fetch a good price.
"I didn't! Dad, the man last night was Kai!" I argued loudly.
Kai was my fiancé, and I was already 18. There was nothing wrong with us being intimate.
"Sister, it's one thing for you to mess around with other men, but how can you lie to Dad!" My stepsister Gloria immediately accused me.
My stepmother chimed in, "Erin, last night Kai was with us at the hospital staying with Gloria because she fainted in the middle of the night."
I didn't question why Kai, as my fiancé, would stay with Gloria when she was sick. Instead, this revelation shocked me so much my whole body trembled.
"Impossible!"
I struggled to get up but was held down tighter by the bodyguards.
If the man yesterday wasn't Kai, then who was it?
"Gloria, you're lying!" I couldn't believe it.
Dad slapped me again. I was knocked to the ground.
"We were all at the hospital yesterday!"
Dad's words sentenced me to death!
Panic, helplessness, fear. Many emotions fought inside my body. Then in my peripheral vision, I saw Kai walk in.
Tears streamed down my face. I reached out to him.
"Kai! The man at the hotel last night was you, wasn't it?"
Please, Kai, confirm what I'm saying!
I begged in my heart!
I'd loved Kai for eighteen years. How could I mess around with another man!
Kai's expression was still gentle, but he didn't take my outstretched hand.
He just crouched down to look at me. "Erin, I was at the hospital all last night."
I felt a rumbling in my ears, like thunder exploding beside me.
The man at the hotel yesterday really wasn't Kai!
But I clearly received a text from Kai!
"I got your text! You told me to come to the hotel room!"
I tremblingly took out my phone, urgently showing it to Kai.
Kai looked confused. He took my phone, then sighed.
"Erin, this number isn't mine."
I looked at my phone screen again. Although the contact was labeled as Kai, it wasn't Kai's phone number!
I suddenly remembered yesterday my phone disappeared for a while. Later Gloria brought it to me, saying I'd dropped it in my room. Then I drank the fruit wine she gave me, and I felt dizzy. At the hotel, I couldn't even see people clearly.
"It was you! Gloria!" I broke free from the people holding me and grabbed Gloria's collar.
"There was something wrong with that drink you gave me!"
Ever since Gloria entered this house, she'd been targeting me!
She was the child Dad had with his mistress Hilda. After my mother died, Hilda moved into this house. She and Gloria tortured me together, always stealing my things.
"Sister, what are you talking about! What does this have to do with me?" Gloria sounded aggrieved, but she leaned close to my ear and mocked me, "Who told you to be so stupid? I'm going to take everything that's yours!"
I raised my hand to slap her smug face, but Dad's whip came faster. He lashed me, and I fell to the ground.
"You did something shameless and now you're trying to frame Gloria!" Dad cursed at me.
"I didn't! Gloria really framed me!" I cried, looking at Dad, hoping he would believe me.
But his eyes only held disgust for me.
I looked at Kai again. "Kai, you believe me!"
Kai looked at me disappointedly. "Erin, Gloria has always spoken up for you, but you keep targeting her. You've become so strange now. Before when you complained about Gloria, I thought it was because you lost your mother and felt insecure. But today you really shouldn't treat Gloria this way. Erin, you've disappointed me so much. I'm breaking off our engagement!"

The mafia princess return
Pregnant by My Husband's Rival Alpha
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lester—the most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Loris—while my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreams—even if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?

3/ Rags and Ritches-
A PRINCESS IN DISGUISE; BOUND TO THE ENEMY KING
I fell to my knees, the cold marble digging into my skin. I had studied for years in the flickering candlelight, memorizing every herb and poison to pass the healer's exam. I wanted freedom. I wanted to save my mother from the servant's quarters. I placed second. I thought I had won my life back.
But the King didn't give me a badge of honor. He gave me a death sentence.
"Raven Thorne shall be wed to the King of Grok," he announced, his voice echoing in the silent hall. Princess Ellie, the woman who had tormented me for years, slapped her hands over her mouth to hide her cruel laughter. She was supposed to marry the Beast. Now, I was the lamb being sent to the slaughter in her place.
They say King Liam drinks the blood of his enemies. They say he is more monster than man. And now, I have to walk into his bedroom, wearing the Princess's silk gown, and pray he doesn't tear me apart.
I looked at the King, tears streaming down my face. "I'll do it," I whispered, my voice trembling. "But my mother must be safe."
I sold my body and soul to a monster to save her. But when the carriage door opened and I finally looked into the Beast's golden eyes, I realized the terrifying truth...
He wasn't a stranger. He was the man I met in the woods.

Reborn: My Biased Brothers Beg Me To Come Back
She genuinely took in Regina, the butler's daughter, only to be constantly manipulated by this cunning and manipulative woman.
Regina gradually stole the love from her three brothers.
Arabella was forced to give Regina blood transfusions time and again, her weight plummeting to a mere eighty-eight pounds.
Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,
"What about Regina's blood transfusions?"
When she opened her eyes again, Arabella found herself reborn three years earlier—the very day Regina appeared at her doorstep crying, begging for help.
Looking at the pitiful, tearful girl before her, Arabella smiled.
No more soft-heartedness.
No more groveling.
Instead, she "kindly" arranged for Regina to move into the servants' quarters, to earn her own living through honest labor.
Faced with her brothers who sided with her, she no longer bothered to please them.
And towards her former fiancé, Theodore, whom she had once fawned over, she remained cold, distant, and indifferent.
Moreover, in this life, they would discover that her identity was far more than just the eldest daughter of the Oberon family.

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.
