-POV Igor Durand
I'm Igor Durand, and I'm a billionaire CEO, with several companies around the world, I've lived in Canada since I was 20, so when my mother passed away I moved here...
My mother had heart problems and we didn't know it, because she hid it from everyone. I don't have many memories of my father, he died of cancer when I was 6 years old...
I only had one sister, Alexandra, who passed away along with my brother-in-law more than 3 years ago in a plane crash...
And my niece Kiara, who has lived with me since her parents' death, became my only family.
I became a hitman when I was 18 years old, the father of a long-time friend trained me and made me one of the best assassins in the world, I have killed thousands of people.
Kiara has always been interested in weapons and fighting since she was young, when she turned 22 she asked me to train her and make her the greatest assassin for hire just like me, my sister wasn't happy with this idea, but she didn't interfere with it. The daughter's decision...
So I trained her and taught her everything I knew, making her the greatest hired assassin, one of the most feared in the world...
And so I ended my career with this type of work, leaving her in charge.
I got married at 29, and after almost 6 years of marriage, I discovered that the unfortunate woman was cheating on me...
When Kiara found out about this, she became very angry then killed her.
Since then, I never got married or fell in love with any other woman, I just went out sometimes to have sex with some women, but only for fun, nothing involving feelings.

I leave the gym all sweaty and go to my room to take a shower and get ready to go to the company...
I go to the gym every day to stay in shape, as well as having a healthy and balanced diet.
I enter the bathroom and take off all my clothes, enter the shower, then turn on the shower and close my eyes, feeling the water fall over my head, my body relaxes with the contact of the water on my skin...
(...)
I park my car in my company's garage and get out of the vehicle, adjusting my suit, lock the car, and enter the building, I end up attracting several looks from my employees.
I ignore the looks and enter the private elevator, press the button indicating my floor, and wait, minutes later the elevator dings and opens the doors, I see my assistant working and concentrating on the computer.
“Good morning Mr. Durand,” Charlotte says professionally greeting me.
"Good morning! Bring my diary to my office now” I say dryly
I walk towards my room and close the door then, I take off my dark blue suit leave it on the back of the chair, and sit down...
I turned on the computer and saw that there were some document folders on the table.
A few minutes pass and I hear her knocking on the door, I just say “Come in” and my assistant immediately walks past the door, closing it as she enters, and approaches my table with the tablet in hand.
“License, you have to sign these supplier documents, and this blue folder” she points to the folder “has the entire project reviewed and with some ideas that you can use if you please.” She pauses and looks at the tablet in her hand “Ah, you have a meeting with the company’s economic management at 9 am.”
“Great, prepare the meeting room and bring me a bitter coffee” I order seriously, turning my attention to the computer.
“How about we go out tonight, friend? A new club is opening and I heard it will be packed, there will be a lot of hot girls” my friend Oliver says taking a sip of whiskey
Oliver has been my friend for many years, he is the vice president of my company, and he is like family...
“Not today Oliver, and I’m too tired to go to a party” I relax my back in my chair
“Come on Igor, stop being old, you always refuse my invitations to go out to parties” he sighs frustrated “You need to have fun...”
“So much drama Oliver” I roll my eyes, giving up “Okay, maybe it’s good to go out for a bit and clear your head...”
“That’s it man, fine,” he says, getting up from the chair excitedly “I’ll send you the address later...”
I nod my head in agreement and he leaves the office, closing the door then, I take a deep breath, running my hand through my hair, messing it up...
I hear the phone ring and I answer quickly...
“The meeting table is ready sir, the shareholders are already waiting for your presence,” my assistant says through the call
“I’m coming” I respond briefly and hang up.
(...)
I park my car in front of the nightclub where Oliver sent me the address, I'm wearing a white formal T-shirt and black pants...
I lock my car and walk towards the entrance, I look for crazy Oliver among the people, the line is huge...
“Hi, Igor” I hear my friend’s voice and I turn back, “I thought you weren’t going to come...”
“I ended up being a little late” I explain “Do you have VIP tickets?”
“My friend, come on let’s go in,” he says excitedly guiding me towards the door where only VIPs enter “There must be a lot of hot girls there, I need to fuck someone...”
We entered the club and the noisy electronic sound invaded my ears, colorful lights were flashing and several people drinking, dancing, and shouting...
I go straight towards the bar, I need to have a drink to relax, Oliver accompanies me and we sit on the bench waiting for the barman to serve us...
“What do you want, gentlemen?” the bartender asks
“a shot of whiskey on the rocks” I reply and look around seeing people dancing excitedly
“I’ll have a vodka,” my friend says to the bartender “My God, friend, look at that hot redhead looking at us with malice, now I’m going to make out with her” he looks towards a redhead wearing a low-cut and short mini dress
“good luck” I respond in disbelief, turning to grab the drink the bartender served me
(...)
I was there a little away sipping my drink, just watching people having fun, I haven't hooked up with any women yet, I haven't found one that caught my attention...
“Oh my God” I hear a sweet voice and a small body bump into mine, I grab her waist instinctively before she falls “I’m sorry...”
“It's okay, miss,” I say in a hoarse voice and take a closer look at her face
Holy shit, what beautiful woman is that?

The Alpha's Stripper Mate
"What?" It was out of my mouth before I could stop it. I did not wait for him to answer me, I walked toward him.
"Dance on my lap."
My head screamed at me to turn around and run. But my whole body responded to his command.
"Yes, Alpha," I pulled my dress over my body, it dropped over my head and fell to the ground behind me. I was left in nothing but my matching bra and thong. My hands covered my chest on reflex.
"Let me see."
My hands dropped to my sides.
I lowered myself into his lap, facing him. His eyes peered into mine, and I could feel his hot breath fan my face. His dick responded to all my moves, hardening against my now-moist vagina. I swallowed hard, allowing my lips to part in a ragged breath. His hands trailed up to my waist.
"No touching."
At the tender age of eleven, JoJo Wyatt was forced to grow up far sooner than she should have. Born to a cruel father and a weak mother, she quickly realized she had to become the breadwinner for herself and her sister. Nothing else mattered to her, not even the hottest men. In fact, she despised them. After one horrific night, she swore never to have any contact with the male species again. That was, until she started working for him as his stripper.
Meanwhile, Alpha Lake Rush, thirty, was the most feared Alpha in the country. Burdened by his own share of life's struggles, he had learned only to be cruel and reckless, rejecting not one but two mates. But what happens when he discovers yet another mate, and she turns out to be his stripper?
To protect what’s mine
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.
When My ankle injury forces her to recover at the family lake house, I‘m stuck with both brothers. What starts as mutual hatred slowly turns into something forbidden.
I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
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.
Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
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.
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.

But Rafael carries secrets—secrets that could destroy them both. And the closer Vivienne gets, the harder it is to tell if he’s her way out… or the reason she never escapes.
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.
