Introduction
But he let Ashley get pregnant with his child.
He accused me of causing Elara’s pollen allergy, and even gave the only keepsake left by my mother — a bracelet — to Ashley as an apology.
He said, "It’s just a bracelet."
During an argument, he shoved me down, causing my head to bleed, yet he rushed to the hospital with Ashley, not even bothering to look back at me.
I lay in the hospital getting stitches, and his suit still carried Ashley’s perfume. He yelled at me, "You followed me to the hospital to cause trouble!" My heart shattered, yet he still lied to me, "I only love you. After this fake wedding, I’ll take you away!"
Chapter 1
(Amelia’s POV)
I dialed Don's number.
I tried to keep my voice steady as I said, "I’m willing to leave Ethan Jones. But I have one condition: I want you to send me to a place where he’ll never find me."
On the other end of the line, Don Ross Jones let out a satisfied laugh. "If you had recognized this sooner, things would have been differentChapter 1
. After spending a night in Black Gate, you’ve finally realized your place. A girl like you, an orphan, is not worthy of marrying the heir of the Jones family."
His voice was full of disdain.
"In five days, at the family banquet, we’ll make all the arrangements for you to leave. At that time, you’d better never show up before Ethan again."
The phone call suddenly ended, and I leaned against the cold wall of the mansion.
In the hall, Ethan gently let his daughter, Elara Jones, tug at his curly hair.
Ashley leaned against his shoulder, a smile of tenderness and satisfaction on her face.
This perfect family of three looked so happy and complete.
The sight before me felt like a bullet shot straight into my chest.
"Miss Miller, you’re back?" Ashley Johnson was the first to notice me.
Immediately, she shielded Elara behind her, telling a servant to take the child upstairs.
Their wary gazes pierced through me, sharp as knives.
The man who had once said, "I will only acknowledge the child you carry," now looked at me as if I were a murderer.
Once Elara was taken away, Ethan approached, reaching out to check on me.
He asked, "You’re back? Did you get hurt in Black Gate?"
Looking at the man who had once taken 99 lashes for me, bitterness welled up in my chest. I avoided his touch.
He furrowed his brow. "Amelia Miller, you know the situation from last night. The more I protect you, the harsher the punishment from my father. With your background, they might even handle you... secretly."
"We’ll be leaving soon, I don’t want any more complications. And Elara is innocent. Why did you—"
"I told you, I didn’t do it," I shouted, tears welling in my eyes. "Elara is allergic to pollen! How could I use such a thing to harm her?"
Ethan seemed startled by my intense reaction. He paused for a moment before softening his tone. "Alright, alright, it’s over now. As long as Elara’s fine."
His voice had that indulgent tone, as if I were a naughty child.
He still didn’t believe me.
As we stood there in tense silence, Ashley walked over, gently touching her slightly rounded belly.
"Miss Miller, I owe you an apology. I was panicking at the time. You don’t understand a mother’s instinct to protect her child."
She lifted a hand to brush back a strand of hair, her gemstone bracelet gleaming with a blue light.
My mind went blank. Instinctively, I grabbed her wrist. "Where did you get that bracelet?"
"I gave her that. Ashley likes classic jewelry," he answered casually, pulling my hand away. "Consider it a peace offering for you. Besides, it’s just a bracelet."
I trembled with anger. "This is the only keepsake my mother left me! How could you just give it away? Do you know how important it is to me?"
I reached out to snatch it back, but Ashley suddenly stumbled back a few steps, clutching her belly and groaning in pain. "My belly..."
Ethan immediately pushed me away roughly, his eyes turning extremely cold: "Amelia, she's pregnant with my child. Haven't you caused enough trouble?" "
His force was so strong that I plopped down on the ground and hit the back of my head against a corner of the table.
But Ethan didn’t even glance back at me. He hurriedly picked up Ashley and rushed out, his arms around her.
"Ethan..." Ashley leaned into his embrace, her voice weak. "Our baby... will be okay, right?"
"Don’t worry, I’m here," he soothed gently, each word feeling like a needle in my ears. "You’ll be fine, and the baby will be fine."

The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
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 Lycan Kings and the White Wolf.

She should have pushed him away, but she kissed him back instead.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
MOONLIT CHASE
But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.
Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.
Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.
When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.
He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.
And in his world? Love will get you killed.

Taste of Fate: The Vampire King's Human Mate
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
