-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?

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.
The Legacy Game
When scholarship student Chris Linds stumbles onto a mystery someone has killed to protect, she becomes the next target. The only person standing between her and death is Ashen Ford, the academy's cold, untouchable Student Council President—and heir to one of Corvain's founding families.
As anonymous invitations summon twelve students into the legendary Legacy Game, alliances fracture, secrets surface, and every challenge brings another deadly truth to light. But the greatest secret isn't who will win.
It's why one winner vanished without a trace... and why someone will do anything to make sure history repeats itself.
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?

And in his world? Love will get you killed.
