Introduction
It was a wonder how they still managed to stay together for so long when she recalled the number of fights and arguments they've gone through.
He's a handsome man and a rich man as a plus. There are so many women in the world he can choose and will surely make a beeline just for a day with him.
And he chooses her.
A normal woman or so she thought.
Valentina Rodriguez.
22 years old.
Valentina came from a middle-class family, and she liked to put it like that.
Her father, Andrew Rodriguez, owned his own company, and her mom, Lovy Arden, owned her own company. So, they merged the company after marriage and became one of the most famous company ever joined.
She has four siblings.
Mason, the eldest, Peter the second, she's the third and Anne the youngest of them.
When her mother and father said they wanted to retire, she practically tried to jump into the sea.
When they announced Mason and Peter to take over, she cried to the sky shouting, ‘Thank you for blocking me away from this busy worlds...!'
He's a good man and has an excellent looking figure. His body is what all women fantasized about in their heads.
His abs, oh, no.
She drooled at the sight of it.
It is his reward for working out after work if he's not busy.
That is one of the reasons why they fight and argue a lot.
Chapter 1
Warning: Violent scenes, swearing, Continuous editing
Valentina opens her eyes to see the face of the man she love with all of her heart for nearly three years.
It was a wonder how they still managed to stay together for so long when she recalled the number of fights and arguments they've gone through.
He's a handsome man and a rich man as a plus. There are so many women in the world he can choose and will surely make a beeline just for a day with him.
And he chooses her.
A normal woman or so she thought.
Valentina Rodriguez.
22 years old.
Valentina came from a middle-class family, and she liked to put it like that.
Her father, Andrew Rodriguez, owned his own company, and her mom, Lovy Arden, owned her own company. So, they merged the company after marriage and became one of the most famous company ever joined.
She has four siblings.
Mason, the eldest, Peter the second, she's the third and Anne the youngest of them.
When her mother and father said they wanted to retire, she practically tried to jump into the sea.
When they announced Mason and Peter to take over, she cried to the sky shouting, ‘Thank you for blocking me away from this busy worlds...!'
He's a good man and has an excellent looking figure. His body is what all women fantasized about in their heads.
His abs, oh, no.
She drooled at the sight of it.
It is his reward for working out after work if he's not busy.
That is one of the reasons why they fight and argue a lot.
Even if he was busy, that wasn't an excuse to forget her birthday or their anniversary day. As busy as she is, she still has time to put some effort into their relationship.
That doesn't mean she doesn't understand how busy and stress he is. He's from a wealthy family that owns several companies in the world. The K Company is the leading company.
He is the boss who runs the K company.
That's what she means.
He's the boss.
So, what's a ONE day off for him?
They don't work at the same company as she likes to work in human sociality rather than working in the business field.
Pfft. The irony.
He once gave her an offer to work as his personal assistant.
But she loves her work although she hates her boss.
What's worse is the fact that the boss is her father's friend. She doesn't understand why her father would befriend someone like him.
He hates her guts, and she hates his.
Her family accepted Kayden as her boyfriend.
He went through their interrogation, and they instantly like him.
He's a charmer.
A charmer at first sight.
Valentina runs into him at the famous coffee shop and being the clumsy girl she is, she slipped at the sight of him and ended up pouring her expensive coffee on his fancy coat and white shirt.
Of course, she knows who he was at that time, and she didn't expect the young and handsome famous businessman to show up at a coffee shop.
Long story cut short, he gave her his number and ordered her to replace his ruined attire.
She was too embarrassed to ask her parents for the big amount of money to replace his suit. So, she settled for Mason and Peter.
They were furious to know what Kayden asked for and told her to ignore him. But, she begged them to help her replace the suit and promised them she won't be involved with him after the clothes issue is settled.
They agree to help her. But, the promise was broke when once again, she got hooked with Kayden's charm.
He sents flowers and gifts to her and even brings her to various dates until finally, she falls in love with him.
Her brothers were enraged when they know what she had done and ignored her for the next two weeks. Maybe that's why they're still hostile on him.
Name, Mason Rodriguez. Age, 26 years old.
Name, Peter Rodriguez. Age, 24 years old.
While Anne Rodriguez, Age, 20 years old, stay nearby her college to finish her designing course.
Her parents want them to get married as soon as possible. Even though she's not all set to get married yet. Guess, she needs to talk to him about this.
His family also treated her well. She's relieved to know that her parents met them in business meetings.
He looks after her very well all this while whether in good time or a bad one. She moved in with him after he convinced her to do so.
Just like her parents, both of his parents are business people themselves. River Ilmanto and Nova Larsch get into an arranged marriage, and Kayden is their only son.
Which her parents appreciated so much when they know that she's dating their only son. If they get married, then they will be buried with money.
But she doesn't care about his money. She only wants his love.
Name, Kayden Ilmanto. Age, 24 years old.
"Done staring?"
Valentina's thoughts fly away when his voice enter her thoughts. Whereas, his eyes were still closed.
"How did you know I'm staring at you?" she blushed.
"Well, I have my way."
"That's impossible. Plus, I'm not staring at you." Vale denied.
"Okay, keep telling yourself that," he said playfully.
He opened his dark brown eyes, staring at her light-blue eyes. She looks at him with love in her eyes.
He scooted closer and gave her a peck on the lips, and after that, a full-blown kiss.
Well, this is how they always got late for work.
His phone rang, stopping the almost heated session. His light blonde hair was a mess.
Kayden groans and Valentina chuckle. He got off of her and grabbed his phone. Meanwhile, Valentina went into the bathroom to take a shower.
She walks out after she finished showering at the same time he is about to end his call. He had his back on her as she steps out with a towel wrapped on her body.
"So, it's tonight, right?" Kayden asked the person on the phone.
"Alright." He ended the call.
She walked to the closet and started rummaging through it, trying to find suitable clothes to wear to work.
"My friends are holding a party tonight. Want to join us?"
She looks at him and smiles before shaking her head. She's glad he didn't force her to come.
Valentina didn't particularly enjoy partying, getting drunk, or dancing with strangers unless she wants to remove her stress, forced by a friend, or maybe even to complete her mission or her little secret.
She had nothing to do tonight. Maybe, she can take this opportunity to enjoy her little secret.
A sudden realization dawned upon her. Did she really enjoy it?

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.
Bound By Power, Torn By Love
She regards him as her only salvation, but he regards her as a pawn for revenge. When two enemies dance on the sharp knife, what will be the final outcome?
The Shattered Moon King
Lena is a survivor. For years, she has weathered the harsh, post-apocalyptic landscape by following one rule: trust no one. But when she finds an amnesiac man near death in the wilderness—a man with kind eyes and a strength that is anything but human—she makes a choice that will unravel her solitary existence.
She calls him Cain, but the shattered-moon tattoo on his back brands him as Kaelen, the long-dead Alpha of the powerful Sky-Fall pack. His return triggers a brutal civil war with the usurper who stole his throne and his fated mate. Hunted by Lycan assassins and a fanatical human commander desperate for the secrets locked in Lena's own past, their only hope lies in embracing the very power Kaelen can't remember and Lena has always feared.
As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.
The Hunter and The Hunted
Mihai’s hand slowly slides up my stomach, his fingers wrapping around my neck as he cuts of my ability to breathe, black spots clouding my vision, and yet, I am not afraid. I want more. I want everything that he can give to me.
He slowly inserts a third finger, the intense fullness that I feel teetering me over the edge of a cliff I cannot even see, and then he sucks and pulls at my clit. Sparks erupt throughout my body, the orgasm shaking my soul, and destroying what was left of my resistance.
She was the Daughter of a Hunter, he was one of the creatures that her family had sworn to destroy, what could possibly go wrong?
When their worlds collide, who will be left standing, will it be the hunter or the hunted, and which is which?
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.
Asher is a Navy veteran with battle scars and zero patience. He calls me "princess" like it's an insult. I can't stand him.

**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.
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.

“There are no limits between us,” he chuckled, the mirth sparkling in his gorgeous eyes. “And all of this stems from the night you gave me both pain and pleasure. I’m simply returning the favor.”
He took two steps forward, and I stepped back. “But…” The memory of what I had done filled me with fear, and I knew I had to get out of there. “I…”
“No, Firecat.” He placed an index finger on my lips. “This will take your mind off that son of a bitch.” His strong hands pulled me by the waist until I felt his hard manhood.
