Chapter 1
Camilla Medilton
"You're going to have a photoshoot with Guess next week and you have meeting with Swarovski tomorrow because they want you to be their brand ambassador" My manager Vero said
"When will we're going to New Zealand?" I asked as I put on my earrings.
"Next month"
"Okay great" I smiled looking at myself in the mirror. I looked hot tonight, this red dress will totally rock the party tonight.
There's a launching party that I have to attend tonight. My brother was the one who should take this but he's busy so he asked me to replace him instead. I wore this beautiful long red dress and it was so beautiful with small cross straps crossing my back until my waist. It has a beautiful V cut on the front and it fits my curves perfectly.
My stylist braid my hair to the back making me more elegant but sexy at the same time. I love this long red dress so much, it just defines me.
"Ready? The car already downstairs" Vero said and I nodded. I took my clutch and walked out from my room. My house was empty since my family were visiting my baby sister, Kimberly, in Seattle.
I got into the car and my chauffeur drove out from my house. Vero already left me alone and now I need to contact my friend Erin.
I texted her that I'm already on my way to the venue and she texted me that she's already there. I can't wait to see her.
As I arrived, I got off from the car and walked inside. Erin already waited for me outside and I hugged her.
"I miss you!" She squealed
"Me too! You're staying in Swiss too long" I hissed and she chuckled
"Let's go inside and I heard the 7 Gold Lifes Kids will attend this launching party"
"Not interested" I said truthfully. 7 Gold Life Kids might be the hottest topic these days but I don't care. They're just ordinary people like us, no difference.
"How can you not? Are you crazy?"
"Let's go" I dragged her inside and there were a lot of people inside, the launching party was already started.
"Hello" I turned to the side to see a really handsome guy smiling at me but his eyes scanned my body with lust making me hate him already
"I'm Joshua" He introduced himself and took out his hand from his pocket
"Camilla" I shook his hand briefly
"Can I have you-"
"I have a boyfriend" I said to him and pulled Erin away
"As usual, boys always hit on you as soon as you step on the door" Erin said and I shook my head
"They wanted to sleep with me only, not wanting anything else" I hissed
"You're beautiful and hot, I'm not blaming them" Erin said and I turned to her
"That's why I don't date, they always want to use me for sex only"
"Not everyboys like that"
"Oh they're like that" I clapped my hands since everyone clapped their hands too. I don't understand why I have to attend this, idiotic Zion.
"Hello" I turned to the side again to see a handsome guy smiling at me
"Hey" I said not interested
"I'm Sam"
"Camilla" I said bluntly
"You're beautiful"
"Thanks" I said with a really not interested tone
"Are you single?" He asked and I turned to him
"I'm not" I smiled
"I don't believe you" He smirked as he leaned closer to me.
"My boyfriend will come in a second" I hissed glaring at him
"I wonder what's under your sexy red dress?" He asked in a really flirty tone, I took a deep breath and pulled Erin with me
I cursed myself when Erin got called by her dad to meet someone. I was left alone.
"Hey again sexy" Sam from earlier slipped his arm to my waist and kissed my cheek. I pushed him immediately
"Don't touch me!" I said coldly glaring at him
"Don't pretend to be an innocent baby" He pulled me to him again and this time he bit my ear and licked it. I pushed him in disgust
"I have a boyfriend you moron!" I stepped on his feet and walked away from him. My body was shaking because I knew this guy was a dangerous man.
My eyes caught a guy near the entrance room currently looking around to find someone. I locked my eyes to him and suddenly he looked at me. I walked to him fast and I turned my head to see the guy from earlier following me with eyes full of lust.
I walked quickly passing the crowd and linked my arms to the guy who caught my eyes earlier
"Hey baby! I miss you, what took you so long? How's work?" I linked my arm to the guy and looked at him smiling. I kissed his cheek and thank God this guy didn't say anything.
I looked at the pervert guy from earlier, he stopped when he saw the guy beside me. I froze when suddenly the guy who I linked my arms with put his arm around my shoulder. He kissed the side of my head.
I saw the guy back off and walked away. I let out a deep breath and took a step away from the guy. I looked at him
"Thankyou" I said and then walked away from him. I walked out from the ballroom and sighed. This always happened to me, guys were trying to rape me and touch me.
I texted Erin that I wanted to go home and I called my chauffeur so he'll pick me up.
I felt my back was burning, I turned my head to see the guy who I linked my arm to earlier was looking at me. I got into my car ignoring his stare.
"Go back to the house" I said to my chauffeur
I leaned back and closed my eyes
I think I need to learn self defence in the future

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?

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried.

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.

Then the truth came out.

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.
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.
