Unmasked: The Fake Heiress Takes Over
Angela · Ongoing · 496.4k Words
Introduction
People said I was in for a rough time. After all, I’d never gotten along with the Smith brothers, and now that I’d lost everything, they thought things could only get worse.
But what they didn’t know was this: the world-famous designer is my friend, the legendary doctor is my mentor, and the CEO of a major company is my childhood friend.
As for me, I’m a hit composer, a mysterious sculptor, and a young entrepreneur.
My classmates say I’m neither Ms. Smith nor Ms. Johnson—I belong to myself.
But my childhood friend just laughs and says, “She belongs to me, too.”
Chapter 1
Crystal chandeliers illuminated the grand ballroom of the luxurious mansion, casting everything in brilliant white light.
Tonight was the Smith family's centennial celebration, bringing together practically every prominent figure in Emerald City's high society.
Yet the lavish party had been forced to an abrupt end because of one uninvited revelation.
"So, I was switched at birth with the Smith family's child, and Emily is actually the Smith family's daughter?"
Sophia Smith calmly closed the folder and looked up at the elegantly poised couple seated in the high-backed chairs before her.
The Smith family had spent seventeen years investing significant time, effort and resourses to raise Sophia. Looking at her, Sophia's adoptive mother, Jane Smith, nodded, her expression complex as she pressed her fingers to her temples.
Beside her sat a girl with a perky ponytail, wearing a faded, yellowing white dress. She clutched at her skirt hem, head bowed low, her legs pressed tightly together in obvious discomfort.
She sniffled quietly, eyes red and swollen, like a delicate flower trembling in the wind, stealing nervous glances at Sophia from time to time.
"I know this must be so sudden for Sophia, too. I'm sorry, but I really just want to be with my mom and dad..."
George Smith, Emily's biological father, tapped his fingers impatiently, cutting Emily off with a cool look at Sophia. "What are your plans? Stay here while I send some compensation money to your biological parents?"
Emily's face went white, the rest of her words dying in her throat.
Why was he asking Sophia to stay?
Sophia's lips curved into a polite, distant smile. "That won't be necessary. Since your real daughter is back, I have no reason to continue staying where I don't belong."
George believed that the Smith family had raised Sophia very well; she was efficient and capable. Unfortunately, despite her excellence, she couldn't hold the same value as a biological daughter due to the lack of blood relation.
Since Sophia wanted to leave, George naturally wouldn't stop her.
"Suit yourself," he replied simply, not intervening in Sophia's choices.
Jane spoke coolly, "I'll have the driver take you tomorrow."
It was getting late, and if Sophia left now, outsiders might think that the Smith family had mistreated her.
The matter was settled in just a few exchanges, polite and calm. They didn't sound like a family who'd lived together for over a decade, but more like business negotiators?
Looking at Sophia in her stunning ice-blue haute couture gown, so radiant she commanded attention just by standing there, Emily clutched her skirt and couldn't help but speak up, her face full of worried concern.
"Sophia leaving like this is too sudden. I just missed Mom and Dad. We could all live together."
"Mom, Dad, I really don't mind."
Her words dripped with gentle kindness and magnanimity.
But Sophia dodged her outstretched hand with a smile, turning directly toward the staircase.
"I'll just pack a few things and leave. I'll have a friend pick me up."
Left behind, Emily looked pitifully at Jane. "Is she upset with me? I..."
"Enough with the act."
Jane cut her off with a frown. "This is your first meeting. She's held your identity and status for over a decade. If you have demands, state them directly. This sisterly devotion charade convinces no one and gains you nothing."
George was equally displeased. "Starting tomorrow, etiquette lessons begin at eight sharp."
Emily was stunned. This wasn't how it was supposed to go.
Upstairs, Sophia had already packed and come back down. She carried only a small leather backpack with her most important documents, leaving without a trace of nostalgia.
Emily really thought the Smith family was some kind of paradise. This place had parents who weren't parents—blood ties and family bonds were nothing but tools for chasing fame and profit.
She could only wish Emily would survive long enough under those lunatics' care.

The MC Hacker’s Stolen Princess
She did not come to find out her father had promised her to another man.
As the only daughter of Shane “Rook” Rourke, president of the Lost Coast Renegades MC, Taryn has always known club business comes first. But when Rook signs a treaty with the dangerous president of Iron Mesa, he crosses a line even she never imagined.
Safe passage through Arizona territory comes with a price.
Her.
Kellan Stroud is thirty, powerful, ruthless, and already waiting at Sturgis to meet the woman he expects to marry.
Taryn wants no part of him, no part of the agreement, and definitely no part of a future chosen for her by two men who think a signature is enough to decide where she belongs.
Then she meets Bobby Fuentes.
At twenty, Bobby is one of the youngest fully patched members of the Sons of Doom MC. He is quiet until he has something to say, dangerous when he needs to be, and smart enough to get into places no one else can. Hacking is what he does best.
Until Taryn gives him a new problem to solve.
One reckless connection at Sturgis becomes something neither of them can ignore, and when Bobby realizes exactly what Rook has promised away, walking away stops being an option.
But stealing another president’s future wife is not a misunderstanding.
It is an insult.
A betrayal.
And in the MC world, it can mean war.
Taryn refuses to be anyone’s property.
Bobby has never been good at following rules.
And Kellan Stroud does not forgive what he believes belongs to him.
The road out of Sturgis may cost them everything first.
Let Them Kneel
Cast out by her pack. Forgotten by the Lycans.
She lived among humans—quiet, invisible, tucked away in a town no one looked at twice.
But when her first heat comes without warning, everything changes.
Her body ignites. Her instincts scream. And something primal stirs beneath her skin—
summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.
But Kaelani is not what they thought.
Not wolfless. Not weak.
There is something ancient inside her. Something powerful. And it’s waking.
And when it does—
they’ll all remember the girl they tried to erase.
Especially him.
She’ll be the dream he keeps chasing… the one thing that ever made him feel alive.
Because secrets never stay buried.
And neither do dreams.
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.
Mated To My Nemesis

For the first time in his life, he couldn't have it all.

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?
