Introduction
The next morning, he left a crumpled hundred-dollar bill on the nightstand, ready to make his escape, only to find that the CEO, Ivy Moretti, was already awake...
Fuck, just because I slept with you once, I have to marry you? Rod wanted to run, but Ivy was so good in bed that he just couldn't get enough!
Chapter 1
“Help me…”
The hotel door had barely opened when a shadowy figure rushed in with a gust of perfume and crashed straight into Rhode Stark’s arms.
Rhode was about to shove the person away when he looked down. In the dim hallway light, his breath caught.
The woman in his arms had long black hair like a waterfall and skin as pale as snow. Her red lips stood out sharply. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of tears, her breathing hot, and her voice hoarse with a wild kind of need.
“Hot… so hot…”
Before Rhode could ask anything, the woman suddenly went crazy, grabbing at his clothes. With a loud rip, the underwear he’d worn for years was torn clean in half.
“What the hell—”
Rhode’s shout was cut off as a soft, warm body pressed him down onto the floor.
…
Two hours later.
The room smelled thick with perfume mixed with the scent of heather.
Rhode Stark lay flat on the bed, face pale, staring blankly at the ceiling. As the Lord of the Abyss, he’d once cut down a hundred armed bandits on the ice fields with just a knife, never even frowning. But now his back ached and his legs felt weak.
“Damn it,” Rhode muttered, rubbing his lower back. “I command a million troops. If word gets out that I got taken down by some woman in New York, how the hell am I supposed to keep any face as the Abyss King?”
The woman beside him was already fast asleep. Her side profile looked stunning in the moonlight. Rhode glanced at her and frowned slightly. She didn’t look like an ordinary working girl. Something about tonight felt off. Probably trouble.
Better not stick around.
The next morning, the first light of dawn was just showing.
Rhode got out of bed quietly and looked around at the messy sheets and clothes scattered like a battlefield. The wild scenes from last night flashed through his mind again.
He dressed quickly, checked his pockets, and found only an old Nokia phone and a crumpled ten-dollar bill.
Rhode sighed, tucked the bill under her pillow, and headed for the door.
His hand had just touched the lock when a cold voice came from behind him.
“Stop.”
Rhode froze, forced a dry laugh, and turned around.
The woman was awake, wrapped tightly in the blanket, her beautiful face full of shame and anger. Her eyes were locked on the bill sticking out from under the pillow.
“What’s this supposed to mean?” she asked, voice shaking as she pointed at the money.
Rhode scratched his nose and answered seriously, “Well… you were definitely worth more, but this is all I had on me. A hundred bucks, right here.”
“Asshole!” The woman’s face went white with rage. She bit her lip hard. “You think I won’t call the cops and have you arrested for rape?”
Rhode spread his hands. “Look, lady, you were the one who jumped me last night. If anyone’s calling the cops, it should be me reporting you for forcing yourself on a good-looking guy.”
“You—” She was so angry her chest heaved. “In New York, there’s no one I, Ivy Moretti, can’t find. You’re not getting away!”
Ivy Moretti?
Rhode raised an eyebrow. The name sounded familiar.
Ivy took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. She pointed at the Hermès bag on the floor. “My dress is ruined. Go get my bank card from the bag. PIN is 1314520. Head to the mall downtown and buy me a clean dress and… underwear.”
Rhode wanted to refuse, but seeing the determination in her eyes, he just shrugged and went to grab the card. “Fine. I’ll call it even.”
Outside the hotel, the morning air cleared Rhode’s head a little.
He looked up and saw a skyscraper across the street. A giant LED screen on the building flashed gold letters: “Ivy Group.”
New York’s number-one beauty CEO, the business legend worth billions—Ivy Moretti.
Rhode stood on the curb and muttered, “Tch. Looks like I just stepped into a rich family’s door on this trip back to New York.”
Half an hour later, Rhode returned to the hotel room carrying several luxury shopping bags.
He tossed the bags onto the bed and turned his back without being told.
Rustling sounds of clothes came from behind him.
“Done. You can turn around now.”
Rhode turned.
Ivy was fully dressed. A well-fitted white dress hugged her tall, graceful figure. Morning sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows, giving her an almost holy glow. Cold, elegant, untouchable.
Rhode’s eyes went wide. “Damn, put some clothes on and I almost didn’t recognize you.”
Ivy’s face flushed red. She glared at him. “If you breathe a single word about last night, I’ll make sure you disappear without a trace.”
“Relax, my lips are sealed.” Rhode grinned, waved, and headed for the door. “I’m out. Name’s Rhode Stark, by the way.”
Watching the door close, Ivy stood there and repeated the strange name under her breath. “Rhode Stark… We’ll meet again soon.”
In the next second, all the shyness on her face vanished, replaced by endless coldness and killing intent.
Ivy pulled out her phone and made a call, her voice icy. “How’s the investigation? Was it James Smith who drugged my drink last night?”
After getting confirmation, her eyes turned sharp. “Make James Smith… disappear. For good.”
Meanwhile, in a taxi speeding along a New York overpass.
Rhode leaned back in the seat, watching the city blur past the window. His gaze slowly turned deep and cold.
Half a month ago, he was still the commander of the Abyss’s invincible army, holding a million soldiers and striking fear into enemy nations. But then his family suffered a sudden disaster.
His parents, who had been quietly farming in the suburbs under fake names, were brutally murdered and dismembered. Their bodies were never found whole.
On the same day, his younger sister Mary, who had just gotten into New York University, vanished without a trace.
The night he got the news, the Abyss King’s rage swept across the frozen lands. A million troops gathered overnight. The killing intent was so strong that enemy forces stationed at the border panicked and ordered a thousand-meter retreat, desperate not to provoke the god of death.
But once Rhode calmed down, he understood—this was a massive conspiracy aimed at him and the Stark family.
To avoid alerting anyone, he secretly resigned his post and returned to New York alone.
“Nightfall Bar…”
Rhode clenched his fists. It was the only lead he had so far—the last place his sister was seen before disappearing was the Nightfall Bar in northern New York City.

My Perverse: You're mine, you son of a bitch
Vincenzo Valentini is a man who sees the world as a business counter and human beings as merchandise.
The owner of an empire built upon corpses and submission, he is the reflection of pure perversity.
When fate places Andrew Thompson, the son of his greatest rival, into his hands, the plan was simple: use him, break him, and discard him like a toy that has lost its appeal.
What Vincenzo did not expect was that, beneath the youthful skin and the appearance of innocence, Andrew hid the same abyss as he did.
Vincenzo never wanted redemption. He never wanted someone to save him from his own darkness. He was seeking a mirror. And in Andrew, he found the partner who, upon seeing his blood-stained hands, does not recoil in terror, but trembles with desire.
In this perverse game, the "little toy" proves to be the perfect executioner. The mafia leader found someone who not only accepts his cruel side but cultivates it, feeding the monster Vincenzo has always been.
Where there should have been fear, lust emerged. Where there should have been hatred, a perverse loyalty was born. Andrew Thompson is the dark reflection of Vincenzo, the soldier the underworld did not see coming, and the man who proved that, for some, paradise only makes sense if it is in the middle of chaos.
Vincenzo opened the doors to his empire, but Andrew was the only one capable of invading his heart.
They are not heroes. They are hell on earth.

If they find out what I truly am, they’ll destroy me. But as the bond tightens and my time runs out, I’m caught between the Alpha who wants to protect my soul, and the Vampire who wants to rule my darkness.
I was born to bring peace. But loving them might just start the bloodiest war history has ever seen.
Real Heiress, Hidden Boss

I am the surgical prodigy saving lives that science deems hopeless. I am the muse of the art world. I am the true heir to a dynasty they couldn't even dream of.
Now, I am back.

Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.

The Devil’s Contract: Kiss Me Like A Lie
The air in the ballroom was suffocating, filled with the scent of expensive wine and predatory Alphas. I felt the familiar, terrifying burn start low in my stomach. My suppressants were failing. I am an Omega pretending to be a Beta, and my fiancé, Reign Montgomery, is a powerful Enigma who believes Omegas are nothing but weak whores.
I rushed to the restroom, locking myself in, praying the scent wouldn't leak. My hands shook as I dialed for help, but the door handle turned. Reign stood there. He didn't look at my face; he grabbed my wrist, pulling it to his nose, inhaling deeply. His dark, soulless eyes bore into mine. "You smell different," he whispered, his voice dangerously low. If he finds out what I really am, I’m dead.
Reign Montgomery promised himself he’d never get involved with an omega. Not romantically, not physically, not even by accident. He doesn’t trust them, doesn’t want them, and refuses to let anyone become a weakness.
Soren Fox has lived his whole life making sure no one ever learns what he truly is. An omega pretending to be a Beta, fighting in underground rings just to survive and keep his sister alive.
But one contract drags them into a dangerous partnership of lies, heat, and power, and when Soren is kidnapped, Reign realizes too late that the omega he never wanted has become the one person he can’t live without.

As they collide in a world where betrayal is constant and alliances are fragile, passion ignites between them, each step drawing them deeper into a forbidden obsession that neither can control. In a life defined by violence and survival, will their dangerous game be their undoing, or will it make them unstoppable?
The First Female Alpha
The man I was meant to marry—the rising Alpha, the pride of the Pack—thrusting into another girl like I didn't exist.
But I didn't cry. I didn't scream. I didn't even flinch.
Because the pain had carved me hollow long before he ever touched her.
He thinks I'm weak. That I'll stand by his side in two days, smile for the ceremony, and hand him my loyalty with the Alpha title.
But he's wrong.
I'm not the broken little Luna they think I am. I'm the storm they never saw coming.
The Pack worships him, but only I know the truth buried beneath his perfect lies. So I'll take everything he wants most—the throne, the title, the crown he was born to wear—and win it out from under him, in front of everyone who ever called me unworthy.
Screw the Pack. Screw the respect. Screw being tame.
I'm fury dressed in skin, madness wearing heels, and heartbreak turned into a goddamn weapon.
They wanted a loyal Luna??
Instead...
They created a monster.
And when the throne is finally mine...
The Pack won't remember the name of the Alpha who betrayed me.
They'll remember the woman who took his crown...
and became the First Female Alpha.
