Introduction
Unexpectedly, the rumored ugly man turned out to be handsome and noble and was the one Victoria saved. However, he offered to use hundreds of billions of dollars in exchange for her divorce after a hundred days. A hundred days later, Victoria filed for divorce. After she left, Edmund Haines realized that he loved her deeply. He chased her and pushed her against the wall. "Honey, how dare you escape after secretly giving birth to my child?"
Divorce was easy, but remarriage was difficult. From then on, Edmund started to work hard to chase his wife.
Chapter 1
"Victoria, I prepared a birthday gift for you. Enjoy it."
Seeing Xenia Collins standing by the bed laughing wantonly, Victoria Collins couldn't resist at all.
She didn't know what Xenia had added to her drink. At this moment, although she was awake, she couldn't speak or move.
She could only lie motionlessly on the bed.
When Xenia left, she turned off the light, and the room was dark.
"Boom!"
After a long time, the door was opened.
Victoria felt a cold breath attacking her.
"Help me, and I will repay you."
The man's voice was deep and hoarse as if from another world.
Accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, his tall figure staggered to the bedside.
At this moment, Victoria seemed to have stopped breathing.
"Help me."
In the darkness, Victoria couldn't see the man's face but only saw his eyes, which revealed a deep coldness and nobility.
Victoria didn't know what happened, and she passed out.
The next morning.
A middle-aged woman in a formal suit walked to the Bugatti on the side of the road and carefully knocked on the car door.
After getting permission, the woman gently opened the car door and got into the car.
She said respectfully, "Lord Hahn, I have found out that the girl who saved you last night is Xenia Collins, the second daughter of the Collins family."
"Are you sure?"
The voice of Lord Hahn was cold and clear, but it was magnetic.
"Yes, Miss Collins is wearing the Dragon Ring that you lost last night. I asked her, and she admitted that she saved you."
The light in the car was thin, and the man's face was not clear. He had a pair of sharp cold eyes with a noble aura. He said, "Arrange someone to the Collins family to propose marriage. I want to marry her."
The usually calm woman showed obvious shock on her face as she said, "Lord Hahn, there are many ways to repay her. Besides, you couldn't help yourself last night. Your status is high, and you should think twice about your marriage..."
Facing the man's warning eyes, the woman hurriedly ended the topic.
She said regretfully, "I will do it now."
When Victoria woke up, it was the afternoon of the second day.
She was no longer in the hotel but was thrown into the flower pond by the roadside, and her clothes were in a mess.
Lifting off her clothes, she saw bruises all over her body, and she felt pain from every pore in her body.
Victoria couldn't help but shed tears.
She never imagined that she would lose her virginity on her twentieth birthday.
When Victoria came to Beachside Villa, Xenia and Lacey Collins were sitting on the sofa in the living room. They were wiping tears while talking.
Xenia was the person who plotted against Victoria yesterday, and she was also Victoria's half-sister.
Lacey was Victoria's stepmother.
"Mom, look!"
"Victoria, you're back!" Lacey's eyes were full of worry a second ago, but at this moment, her face showed joy.
"Why are you back now? I've been calling you all day, why didn't you answer?"
Victoria rolled her eyes at Lacey. She picked up the vase on the windowsill and threw it at Xenia's face.
However, it missed.
The vase hit Xenia's chest heavily, and then it bounced to the ground and shattered.
Even so, Xenia still gritted her teeth in pain and looked maliciously. "Are you crazy?"
"You are crazy! You know what you have done. I will destroy your hypocritical face today and avenge myself!" Victoria became furious after losing her virginity. She picked up a knife and rushed towards Xenia.
Victoria had had enough of it.
For fourteen years, Victoria had been abused and lived an inhuman life in this family. She had always been bullied and teased by Xenia. Today, Victoria wanted to seek justice for herself.
"Stop!"
A roar came suddenly.
A fat middle-aged man strode up to Victoria.
He was so eager to protect Xenia that he grabbed Victoria by the hair and threw her down.
The man used all his strength, and Victoria lay heavily on the ground, with blood streaming from her nose.
Victoria couldn't get up for a while. She saw that the person beating her was her father, Edward Collins.
"Victoria, what are you doing? Xenia just played a prank on you, but you fought her like a shrew. You are too mean."
Edward angrily stared at Victoria, whose face was covered in blood, and showed disgust in his eyes.
"It's just a prank?"
Victoria was in pain, but at this moment, she laughed ironically.
"If Xenia and I switched identities, and tricked her like she did to me last night, you wouldn't just say it is a prank, but would hang me up and whip me, right?"
"You..."
Edward was speechless for a while.
Xenia took the opportunity to kick Victoria's back forcefully.
Victoria, who was propped on the ground with her hands and hadn't gotten up yet, fell heavily on the ground again. She spat a mouthful of blood from her mouth, and her back hurt.
Victoria bit her lips tightly, not letting herself shed a single tear.
Edward was Victoria's biological father.
When Victoria was young, Edward was very kind to Victoria.
Fourteen years ago, Lacey drove Victoria's mother crazy. Lacey had an affair with Edward, and she came to this house with their daughter Xenia. After that, Edward seemed to be a different person.
Edward treated Lacey and Xenia kindly, but he always maltreated Victoria. Victoria often suffered from domestic violence.
From then on, Victoria's biological father was dead in her heart.
She never shed a tear in front of Edward again.
"You are both my daughters, but why are you so annoying?" Edward was still aggressive.
Lacey stood in front of Edward.
"Edward, you know that Victoria has been rebellious all the time. Calm down and stop beating her. If you beat her to death, who will replace Xenia to marry into the Haines family?"
As if a pot of cold water had been poured over her head, Victoria was deeply shocked.
"This morning, the Haines family proposed a marriage, asking Xenia to marry Mr. Haines. Your father and I tried our best to convince the Haines family to let you replace Xenia."
Looking down at Victoria from a high position, Lacey had a smile.
"You know that the Haines family is a powerful family in Seaside City, so this is a good marriage. You and Mr. Haines will get married in six days."
Victoria immediately understood.
Lacey wished Victoria could disappear from this world. In the past, even if Victoria lost contact for a month, Lacey would never have called her.
Today, after Victoria woke up in the flower pond, there were more than a dozen missed calls from Lacey on her phone.
Lacey contacted her to let her replace Xenia and marry someone.
Everyone in Seaside City knew that Mr. Haines was a cripple who was terminally ill and would die at any time.
Lacey and Edward wanted to use Victoria to curry favor with the Haines family.

The Alpha Who Hated Me
"Why isn't it working?" he demands.
"Because it's real," I whisper. "Whether you want it or not."
"Then I'll make it clear another way," he says.
He turns to address the entire cafeteria. His voice carries to every corner of the room.
"Let me be perfectly clear," he announces. "She's not my mate. She's not my anything. She's just a sad little girl who needs to learn her place."
The silence that follows is deafening. Hundreds of students stare at me with pity. With disgust. With relief that they're not in my position.
I sit there shaking. My wolf curls up in a corner of my mind and whimpers.
But he's not our mate anymore. He made that clear.
He's nothing to me.
She came to survive. He was born to rule. Fate made them mates. And that’s where the nightmare began.
Evangeline has spent her whole life on the edge, unwanted, unclaimed, and surviving in the shadows of Crescent Moon Pack.

But when her dying uncle asks her to enroll at Blackclaw Academy, a school built on bloodlines, brutality, and unforgiving rules..... she agrees. For him, not for herself.
She expected whispers. Glares. Even cruelty.
What she didn’t expect was Ronan Nightbane.
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?

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.

How Not To Fall For A Dragon
Which is why it was more than a little confusing when a letter arrived with my name already printed on a schedule, a dorm waiting, and classes picked out as if someone knew me better than I knew myself. Everyone knows the Academy, it’s where witches sharpen their spells, shifters master their forms, and every kind of magical creature learns to control their gifts.
Everyone except me.
I don’t even know what I am. No shifting, no magic tricks, nothing. Just a girl surrounded by people who can fly, conjure fire, or heal with a touch. So I sit through classes pretending I belong, and I listen hard for any clue that might tell me what’s hidden in my blood.
The only person more curious than me is Blake Nyvas, tall, golden-eyed, and very much a Dragon. People whisper that he’s dangerous, warn me to keep my distance. But Blake seems determined to solve the mystery of me, and somehow I trust him more than anyone else.
Maybe it’s reckless. Maybe it’s dangerous.
But when everyone else looks at me like I don’t belong, Blake looks at me like I’m a riddle worth solving.
