Introduction
The next day, Matthew Moore threw away the divorce agreement and scolded her, “Dirty and unfaithful!”
Amelia tore up the agreement and sneered, “Divorce? Unless I die!”
Later, Matthew actually knelt in the hospital corridor and begged for reconciliation, “Amelia, it was my fault!”
Chapter 1
"It's so hot," Amelia Martinez muttered, her head spinning. The stifling heat made her claw at her clothes, desperate for some relief.
Where was she?
The bed beneath her was so soft it felt like it might swallow her whole, yet the chest of the man in front of her was hard and scorching.
"Relax, I'll take responsibility for this," a voice said.
Who was speaking?
Amelia tried to open her eyes to see the person in front of her, but a sudden, searing pain shot through her body, jolting her awake.
"It hurts," she whimpered.
Instinctively, Amelia struggled, but the pain in her lower body only intensified. In that instant, she realized what was happening, and a wave of terror washed over her.
"Let go of me!" she screamed, her eyes filling with tears as she fought with all her might.
But the man easily pinned her wrists above her head. "Stop moving," he said, his voice hoarse. The veins on his forehead bulged as he fought to control his own desires. If he lost control, Amelia would cry even harder.
He cursed himself for being careless tonight, not noticing that there was something wrong with the drink, which led to this situation. Now, he could only try to restrain himself to avoid hurting Amelia further.
Amelia couldn't process anything he was saying. Her tears flowed uncontrollably, and she was drowning in despair.
She had no idea how she made it through the night.
When the man finally stopped, Amelia felt like she'd been run over by a truck. She struggled to get up, noticing that the man beside her was already fast asleep.
Suppressing her trembling, she hastily grabbed her clothes and stumbled out of the room.
It wasn't until she was in the elevator that Amelia dared to breathe a sigh of relief. She leaned against the wall and couldn't help but cover her mouth and sob.
Behind her, a figure appeared silently. Mia Wilson glared furiously in the direction Amelia had gone, her delicate features twisted with anger and darkness.
Damn it!
The trap she had painstakingly set up had ended up benefiting that little bitch!
Mia gritted her teeth, her eyes flickering with malice. She turned and went back into the room, finding the man still asleep. Only then did her tightly furrowed brow relax.
She closed the door, stripped off her clothes, and slipped into bed beside the man.
No one was going to take the position of Mrs. Moore from her.
Amelia stumbled out of the hotel into the bright morning light.
She walked aimlessly along the street, her mind racing.
Last night, her stepmother, Aria Clark, had suddenly called her to come home for dinner, saying she had bought food from Ocean Crab Restaurant.
Though Aria was her father's second wife, she had always treated Amelia fairly well over the years, always setting aside something for her. Amelia hadn't thought much of it.
But after drinking the wine Aria handed her, she had lost consciousness.
When she woke up, it was...
Amelia realized what had happened and immediately called Aria.
It took a while for the call to be answered, and Aria's impatient voice came through. "Who's calling so early?" After a pause, she added sarcastically, "You still have the energy to call? Did you have a good time last night?"
Amelia gripped her phone tightly, shocked that Aria wasn't even trying to hide it.
"So, you set me up last night?" Amelia's voice trembled, her emotions surging. "You sent me to that old man's bed. Aren't you afraid Dad will find out?"
Aria sneered, "What's with the drama so early in the morning? Since you married Matthew Moore, you haven't even had sex, right? Cody was kind enough to give you a taste. You should be thanking me, not whining."
Amelia couldn't believe the shamelessness in Aria's words. It seemed all her kindness had been an act.
"And don't think about going to the cops. I have a video of you willingly entering Cody's room. Don't say I didn't warn you," Aria continued, her false kindness vanishing to reveal her true malice. "Your father cares most about his reputation. If the video gets out, do you think he'll help you or kick you out?"
Amelia's already pale face turned ghostly white. Her lips trembled, and she was overwhelmed with despair. She knew Aria was right.
Her marriage to Matthew had been her own doing. In the three years since, their marriage had been in name only, with no intimacy. If last night's events were exposed, the marriage would be over, and not even her father would stand by her.
Amelia's long silence made Aria even more smug. "Amelia," she drawled, pretending to be concerned, "I'm doing this for your own good. The Moore family has never respected you. I think your divorce is inevitable. It's better to find another man sooner rather than later, don't you think?"
Aria's snake-like voice filled Amelia with a nearly tangible hatred. Even if she wanted to risk everything by going to the police, with Aria's video, the police would likely believe she was a willing participant. She would be forced to fabricate more lies.
Amelia gritted her teeth, suppressing her urge to confront Aria. She decided to get the surveillance footage from her first. She hung up and went straight to the pharmacy. Since it had already happened, she couldn't let the mistake continue. Amelia bought a box of emergency contraception and followed the instructions.
Back at home, she ran into Luna Moore coming down the stairs.
"You still know how to come back?" Luna, Matthew's sister, had always looked down on Amelia, often mocking her to her face. She sneered, "Out all night and just coming back now. Were you out cheating?"
Amelia was used to it and tried to walk past her.
"Stop!" Luna grabbed her, and in the struggle, Amelia's collar revealed a kiss mark.
"What's this?" Luna's eyes widened. She yanked Amelia's collar, exposing more hickeys. "Amelia, you really did cheat!"
She shrieked. "You've only been married to Matthew for a few years, and you're already cheating! How many times has this happened? Have you no shame?"
Luna's grip tightened, hurting Amelia's wrist.
"I didn't..." Amelia tried to explain, but the words died in her throat. After all, Luna wasn't wrong. She had indeed slept with someone else last night, and the kiss marks were undeniable evidence.
"Let's see how you explain this." Luna glared. "Trash is trash. You're a disgrace. Come with me to see Grandpa. Today, you have to divorce Matthew! The Moore family won't tolerate a woman like you!"

Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.

Love's Deadly Equation
I was sent to her.
To watch her. To protect her. And, when the order comes… to kill her.
My name is Keegan Caffery. I’m the Carter Mafia’s best hitman. I don’t miss. I don’t fail.
At least, I didn’t use to.
I don’t know what it is about her that got to me first—her mouth, her mind, or the way she looks at me like I’m not what she should fear.
I’ve had a gun to her head since I walked into her life.
She knows it.
And she still doesn’t run.
She just watches me back like she’s studying a problem she refuses to call impossible.
She’s the one variable I can’t control.
And God help me… I don’t want to.
I have an order. I have loyalty. I have a trigger.
But every time I imagine it—
I can’t stand it.
Her or me. That’s the math.
It’s a deadly equation I don’t want to solve.
⬥ Maisie ⬥
I’m not ordinary. I stopped pretending long ago.
My name is Maisie Seo. IQ 145. Clinical genius.
Which sounds impressive until you realize what it actually means: I don’t fit anywhere people expect me to.
I see patterns everywhere. Outcomes before they happen. People like equations I’ve already solved.
It gets lonely in a world you’ve already figured out.
So I dull myself down. Smoke the edges off. Pretend, badly, to be the kind of normal that lets people stay.
Then he walked in.
I knew what he was immediately. Dangerous. Intentional. Wrong in all the right ways.
I should be afraid of him.
I keep waiting for that to kick in.
Instead, I’m fascinated.
Because for the first time in my life… I’ve found something I can’t solve.
He is my deadly equation.
Tango 2 the Alpha's Heart
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
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?
Bonds at War: The Virgin is Mine
Perhaps then they would stop controlling my every move. Maybe my brothers would stop resenting me. Perhaps I wouldn’t feel so invisible anymore.
No one believed I could do it—not even my mate, Alpha Jaxon Trevane.
The night I planned to tell him... I found him tangled in bed with my best friend.
Heartbroken and humiliated, I left everything behind and went to Elite alone.
But the academy isn’t the fairytale I dreamed about.
Beneath the grand halls and traditions, a brutal game is being played.
The four ruling Alphas of the North, South, East, and West fight for power, dominance... and now, for me.
A virgin. Untouched. Unclaimed. The prize they all want.
There’s the mate who shattered my heart and swears he’ll win me back.
The brilliant strategist who wants me as his Luna.
The dangerous playboy who promises no one will ever touch me but him.
And the cold, possessive Alpha who watches from the shadows—and would destroy anyone who dares to take me from him.
But in a place where love is a battlefield and lust is a weapon... falling in love might be the most dangerous thing I ever do.
Welcome to Elite Order Academy—where every desire has a price, and my body is the ultimate trophy.
