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?
Exchanging Vows: The Swapped Wife Is a Top Shaman
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?
The CEO Above My Desk
“I know she does.”
“And what if she doesn’t want this kind of protection?”
“She will,” I say, my voice lowering slightly. “Because she needs a man who can give her the world.”
“And if the world burns?”
My hand tightens subtly at Violet’s waist.
“Then I’ll build her a new one,” I reply. “Even if I have to burn the old one down myself.”
I don’t work for Rowan Ashcroft.
I work beneath him.
From my desk, I decide who gets access to the most ruthless CEO in the city, and who never makes it past the lobby. I manage his time, his silence, his enemies. I keep his world running while my own quietly collapses under unpaid bills, a mother locked in rehab, and a brother who vanished without a goodbye.
Rowan Ashcroft is power wrapped in a tailored suit.
Cold. Untouchable. Merciless.
He doesn’t flirt. He doesn’t smile. He doesn’t see people, only usefulness.
And for a long time, I was just useful.
Until he started watching.
A shift in his attention is subtle at first. A pause too long. A look that lingers. Orders that pull me closer instead of pushing me away. The man who stands above my desk begins to control more than my schedule, and I realize too late that being noticed by Rowan Ashcroft is far more dangerous than being ignored.
Because men like him don’t crave affection.
They crave possession.
This was supposed to be a job.
Not a test of my limits.
Not a slow, deliberate descent into his authority.
But if Rowan Ashcroft decides I belong under his desk, then so be it.
Survival has a price, and the bills don’t care how I pay them.

CHASING GHOSTS
Mated To My Nemesis
Agnes Tremaine arrived in Melbourne with a camera but no backstory in this world. She was meant to document one season. She never realized she was already the blueprint — that the connections, the open doors, and the meticulous arrangements were all built specifically for her, tailored and designed to use her.
Ace had a nine-year revenge in the making. A journalist had destroyed his sister's life and left no fingerprints. Now the man's daughter was standing in his garage with a camera, and Ace had been the one to open the door.
His wolf chooses a mate he never wanted and couldn't shake — not in the paddock, not on the track, not even at 200mph where nothing else had ever followed him before.
For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.
Everybody is Guilty Here
Middlesbrough's underworld is a dangerous game, and Matthew Smith finds himself right in the middle of it. A once-feared gang leader, he is now forced to be a pawn in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless. But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?

When his monstrous Primal breaks free, slaughtering everything in its path, even his fiercest warriors cower.
I don't.
I walk straight to the blood-soaked beast, press my body against his, and tame him with a single, desperate embrace.
There’s just one problem: his clan betrothed him to a Shaman’s daughter.
I tell myself it's purely political. I tell myself his heart is mine.
Until tonight.
He sneaks into the woods for me. We share a deep, hungry kiss under the moonlight.
But as I pull back, my blood runs cold.
Right there, on the neck of the man I just risked my soul to save...
