-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?

I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis
Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now—billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn’t mind. I’d crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one?
Wrong.
One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That’s when it hit me—he didn’t love me. He didn’t even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn’t even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup.
So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster—my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise.
Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol.
Enter him.
Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I’d met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes.
It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised.
But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life.
And, as it turned out, the best decision I’d ever made.
Because my one-night stand isn’t just some random guy. He’s richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with.
And now, he’s not letting me go.
Badass in Disguise
"Jade, I need to check your—" the nurse began.
"OUT!" I snarled with enough force that both women backed toward the door.
Once feared by Shadow Organization that drugged me to replicate my abilities into a more controllable version, I had escaped my restraints and detonated their entire facility, ready to die alongside my captors.
Instead, I woke up in a school infirmary with women arguing around me, their voices piercing my skull. My outburst froze them in shock—clearly they hadn't expected such a reaction. One woman threatened as she left, "We'll discuss this attitude when you get home."
The bitter truth? I've been reborn into the body of an overweight, weak, and supposedly dim-witted high school girl. Her life is filled with bullies and tormentors who've made her existence miserable.
But they have no idea who they're dealing with now.
I didn't survive as the world's deadliest assassin by allowing anyone to push me around. And I certainly won't start now.

"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
