Chapter 1
Rhianna is sitting on the bed. Waiting for the big hand of the clock to drop at 12. She plans to run away at midnight. She wants to escape her stepfather who is a drug lord.
They were imprisoned in a place not merely located. She doesn't want to leave her mother and sister but she has to do it for them. She has to save them from the hands of Don Ysmael. She'll think about it afterward how to catch him, the important thing is that she saves her mother and sister first.
When her father died when she was only eighteen years old. Her mother remarried Don Ysmael, and her mother did not know his true identity. When her mother learned of Don Ysmael's identity, they were imprisoned because Don Ysmael thinks that they might complain to the authorities.
So she did nothing when his stepdad imprisoned them in a medium-sized house far away from civilization. She didn’t know where she was going when she ran away. If she can escape or if the guards will catch her.
She tied the concatenated fabric to the bed that she will use to go down to the window. On that side of the window, the guards of the mansion could not see her because it was hidden.
It's almost midnight. She went to the room of her mother and youngest sister Ylona. She opened the door because it wasn’t locked. She went inside.
She regard them because this was the last time she could see their faces. Because she won't know when she will see them again. It is against her will to do it for leaving them but this is the only solution she knew to save them. She couldn’t stop her tears from falling. It ran down her cheeks, and she immediately wiped it with the back of her palm.
She left their room and slowly closed the door again. She went to her room and it was exactly midnight. Hopefully, her plans work now, because this is the only way she can save her mother and sister. Nothing will happen if she cages herself up here in this house.
She gets the tangled fabric and unfurls it in the window. She can't herself from swallowing. What if they catch her? What will Don Ysmael do to her? Come what may, the important is she tried to escape. Perhaps, they won't notice her because usually these hours the guards are sleeping.
She walked towards the window and slowly slide downwards using the dimity that she unfurled. When her feet mourn to the ground she can't help herself from sighing. She feels nervous at those moments.
She treads in the woods. The house surrounds by tall trees. It means the house is in the middle of the forest.
When she noticed that no one sequence to her, she immediately ran. She runs through the forest and she doesn't know what is the end of this. She wishes that in the end, she will see a road or someone who can help her with her situation.
She runs and runs. Even she gets wounds from the plants she sideswipe. It's nothing to her because the important thing is she escaped. She doesn't know how long she ran. Until she decided to rest. She feels thirsty because of prosy running. She sit in a tall tree and leaned her body there.
After a few moments of rest, Rhianna decided to get up and continue running. She just run and run. The wounds caused by the plant she touched were painful. But she doesn't care. Until she saw an exit in the woods. But his body was weakening.
When Rhianna reached the road. She suddenly felt tired, thirsty, and dizzy. She saw the light of a car approaching where she was. She waved her hands so that whoever was driving the car would know her presence. When the car immediately stopped in front of him.
The passenger came out and exposed in front of her is a man who was about six feet tall. Good physique. And with squinty eyes. Her gaze on the man was awakened as he spoke.
"Miss what happened to you?" the man asked Rhianna.
He glared at Rhianna from head to toe. Rhianna was disgusted by what he did so she averted her eyes from him.
"Come on, My co-agent will treat you." the man invited her.
She was still hesitant whether she would board or not. These days, we do not know whether a person can be trusted. Because even if you have known her/him for a long time, she/he will traitor you. Maybe he felt that she was hesitating.
The man took something from his pants pocket. Purse, he took something there and gave it to her. An ID. She picked it up and from the light coming from the moonlight, Rhianna read the man's name.
"Leonardo Estralta Jr." Rhianna pronounced the man's name. There is an Agent written below his name.
"Yes, I'm sorry, my name was followed by my father's name." Leonardo explained.
"There's nothing wrong with your name." Rhianna said.
"Get on board." Leo said and got in the front of the car.
She immediately got in the back of his car. He looked like Rhianna's driver. He immediately started the vehicle. He is an Agent so she can be trusted. He can help Rhianna. He will help her to save her mother and sister.
But what if he's not an Agent? What if he's just pretending? She has no choice. If he would do Rhianna bad. She could do nothing. Maybe that's all she is. Leo took something from his bag. He handed her alcohol and cotton.
"Put alcohol on your wounds to somehow stop the bleeding," Leo said.
Rhianna noticed her wounds with slight bleeding. She took Leo's offer of alcohol and cotton. She put alcohol on the cotton and then rubbed it on her wounds. Rhianna moaned as she felt pain. The man turned to her.
"You alright?" he asked Rhianna.
"Yes, I'm fine. My wound just hurts because it's been exposed to alcohol. Do you have water there? I'm thirsty." Rhianna said.
She is very thirsty because of the long run. Leo took something from his bag, a tumbler with water. Boy Scout? Always ready? He handed it to Rhianna. She took that.
"Thank you." she replied. Maybe, Rhianna can trust him with what he did. What if he's just doing that to get her trust? Hays. Shee would think of that when they reached their destination.
"You look like you came from a long run in the woods. Why are you there?" he asked Rhianna.
"Where are we going?" She did not answer his question. She needs to know where they are going first.
"To my comrades. We have a meeting. Urgent meeting." he answered her. She better answered his question earlier.
"I ran away from my stepdad. He imprisoned me with my mother and sister in a house in the middle of the forest." she answered.
She remembered her mother and sister again. How would they react when they found out that she was no longer at home? She prefers not to say my decision because she doesn’t want to involve them.
"I'm ready to help you. I think you're telling the truth." Leo offered.
She doesn’t have time to dupe. She wants to say it to Leo. However, she decided to keep quiet. In fact, She's indebted to him. This is not the right time for Rhianna to be angry because she needed him to save her mother and sister.
"We're close to Head Quarters." he said.
Rhianna saw in the distance a concrete house. It's just a simple house that you wouldn't think of as Head Quarters. They entered the gate. There were some vehicles already there, probably vehicles of his comrades. When his car got inside the compound, he parked it not far away. She immediately got out of the car. A man with a white complexion and good physique approached them. The man looked at Rhianna.
"Agent Leonardo Estralta Jr. Maybe you can introduce me to the woman who's with you?" the man said to Leo as he got out of the car. Leo did not answer the man's question but Leonardo approached her and took her hand.
"Where's Alexandra, Harold? My companion is wounded and she needs to be treated." he asked the man whose name was Harold.
Then, Harold glared at her. He probably didn’t notice earlier that she had wounds because the place where Leonardo parked the car was dark. They walked inside of the Head Quarters as Harold followed.
"What happened to her?" Harold asked.
"I'll tell it later Harold." Leonardo replied.
When they get inside. She came across a man and a woman who was sitting on a long sofa. They stopped in front of them.
"Alexandra, can you treat her for a moment?" Leonardo asked the woman with curly hair. The woman stood up and looked at her.
"What happened to her, Leo?" Alexandra asked.
"I'll tell everything that happened to her later. Right now, she needs to be treated." Leonardo replied to her. Alexandra nodded.
"Come on Miss." Alexandra led her to a door and opened it.
Rhianna was exposed to two beds that were placed side by side and a cabinet to her right. Alexandra guided her to the bed and she went to the cabinet. She took something there.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”

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.

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.

And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

BRUISED LOVE
The safe dorm.
The boring dorm.
What he got instead was Maverick Hale campus menace, underground street fighter, walking bruise factory, and the last person he ever wanted anywhere near his neat piles of textbooks.
Maverick doesn't care that he's broke.
or in arrears with his fees.
Or one wrong move away from getting kicked out.
He’ll graduate out of sheer spite—he refuses to give his estranged, homophobic father the satisfaction of calling him a failure.
He definitely doesn’t care about the determined, overachieving half-Indian nursing major he’s stuck sharing a room with…
Until Bodhi becomes the only thing keeping him in school.
His tutor.
His healer.
His undoing.
And when Maverick stumbles into their dorm one night with a knife wound and Bodhi stitches him up with shaking hands and a breaking heart…
no longer can that be denied.
Opposites weren’t supposed to collide this way.
But they did.
Hard.
Ruined : You will always be mine.
“Fuckkk”, I couldn’t help but scream.
“You need to learn to be obedient” he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
“Asher please, it’s too much”.
“No. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of me”, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. “Ten Lashes for your disobedience”, he said
“Asher please”,
“No”. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.
