I lost my memory.
When I woke up, my biological parents and aloof wife were fussing over the fake young master's bedside.
I, the real young master who had just awakened from a coma, only received my wife's cold command: "Sebastian needs a blood transfusion. Go donate."

I captured his thumb and he moaned and crashed his lips on mine fiercely as our kiss turned urgent, fueled by stolen moments and forbidden love.

Just as our desires threatened to consume us, my phone shattered the illusion. An unknown number flashed on the screen. I reached for it, but Adam's hand clamped down on mine.
"Ignore it, babe," he pleaded, voice husky.
“What if it’s important?” I argued
He sighed, reluctantly pulling away. As I picked up, a feminine voice filled my ear.

“Take my money… take my heart… take everything I have… just let me have a taste of you. Don’t be the kind of art I can only admire from afar, but never have.”

I never imagined the cold, ruthless, untouchable Liam Sterling… my powerful, intimidating boss, would ever be the one on his knees, begging for me.

It all began when he discovered my secret. By day, I’m Natalie his quiet, overworked, invisible assistant. But by night? I’m Natty… the anonymous, seductive streamer with thousands of adoring fans.

He threatened to expose my identity and ruin everything I’ve built… unless I agreed to his deal
“Be my private show and my public wife. Stream only for me. Let me see just how wild you can be… but no touching.”

I kept my word at first. But the sight of me proved far too tempting for him to just watch. Now, he doesn’t only want to see me fall apart, he craves every part of me. He wants to touch, to claim, to make me fully his.

But will he get what he wants? Will he get to own me completely?

Not before I make the untouchable Liam Sterling crawl at my feet first.

All nobles mocked me for rejecting the talented common mage and picking a brutal gladiator with no magic as my escort. They called him a filthy hound unworthy of serving an Oberlin lady. But only I remember—this scarred man died twice for me in my past life. Reborn before my family’s ruin, I swear bloody vengeance on Cedric and Liliana, who poisoned my father and stripped my skin. I endure searing magic backlash, fight bloody death matches, and burn all traitors alive. The shadow they sneer at will become the indestructible shield of my reign.

At fifteen, my parents died on their way of volunteer teaching in underprivileged areas. I was adopted by the Miller family’s Don, Vincent and was brought up by himself. For ten years, he hauled me out of the mud, gave me a home, gave me favor no one else got and taught me what a “family” was supposed to mean.
On my eighteenth birthday, I climbed onto his bed and kissed him.
He called me disgusting with a face like ice. Later, he brought Isabella home, forced me to be her bridesmaid, and made me go with her to pick out wedding dresses and jewelry.
One shove from her was all it took for him to lock me in a pitch-black confinement room and he even had the light removed.
That was when I finally understood: everything I had could be taken back from me at any moment.

“I never forgave you, Hayley. You are horribly mistaken if you think showing up on another man’s arm erases your sins.
Keep running and I’ll keep chasing. You are my wife. You belong to me.”

I cannot help the derisive smirk that curves my lips.
“Nice speech, Mr. Hotshot. Was that supposed to scare me? Do well to remember your place. The Hayley who begged at your feet is dead.
If you want me back, you will learn to beg. Preferably on your knees…”


For six years, Hayley sacrificed her life and career as an international programmer to play the role of “perfect little wife” for Edward DaSilva and his family.

And what did she get in return? An emotionally unavailable husband, in-laws who treated her like filth… and a dead son.

To make things worse, Edward is hell bent on punishing her for the death of their only son.

With a heart heavy with grief, Hayley flees Manhattan. Three years later, she returns as the City’s most brilliant hacker — unbreakable, desired, and standing beside another man.

But Edward Da Silva never forgot about his wife. He wants her back, and this time, he’s not asking. He’s chasing.

They call him the King of the Upper East Side. And this king would fight to the death to keep his queen.

"I never thought my fiancé would take another woman to a pregnancy test."
Kian froze before claiming that Chelsea was "sick" with mate sickness and just needed time to recover.
"Six months, maybe less," he said. "You can go abroad for training. Alpha Stone's program in Zurich sent you an acceptance letter, why don't you take it? It'll look like a career move instead of a scandal. When you get back, we can pick up where we left off. No one gets hurt."
I stared at him in disbelief, then tore the letter apart right in front of him.
Calling off the wedding and declaring my independence was only the first step.
He thought I was just a good daughter of the Gravehide Pack, obediently following my parents' plans and waiting to marry him. The truth was, I was done playing their filthy little games and I intended to make my own mark on the city.
But then, in the wake of my own stand for independence, the rumours began to swirl amongst the packs. The heir of the Deepstalker Pack had arrived in Moonspire...and he wanted back what had left him in the middle of the night a few years ago without a word.

The floodwaters rushed into the basement, trapping my sister Isabella and me in the surging currents.

My brother, a former Navy SEAL, smashed through the window. Without a second of hesitation, he secured the rescue rope around Isabella.

"You're a good swimmer, figure your own way up! Isabella can't take the cold, I have to get her out first!"

He abandoned me and turned to hoist the rope, accidentally kicking away the only wooden crate keeping me afloat.

Once Isabella was pulled up, she reached down and slid the outer latch, deadlocking the only vent grate.

The floodwaters instantly swallowed me whole. Mud and debris violently surged into my mouth and nose. I was drowned alive.

I WARNED!


“You will always live in my dead wife’s shadow. I will never love you.”

Those were my husband’s first words to me on our wedding day. Not I love you. Not welcome home. Just a cold promise I would spend the rest of my life paying for a crime I didn’t commit.

And the worst part?

He was right.

I was deaf. Fat. Broken. Betrayed by everyone I had ever trusted. By the time Alexander Miller walked into my life, there wasn’t much of me left to destroy.

I thought marrying him would give me stability, a fresh start.

I didn’t know it would trap me in a house filled with a dead woman’s memories.

Every time he touched me, I felt it. Even when he was buried deep inside me, he whispered her name like I was just a substitute for the wife he lost.

All because I had her face.

And he believed I had taken her life.

He made sure I paid for it every single day.

And when he finally learned the truth…
I was already dead.

"Mommy, can Uncle Carl stay with us tonight for dinner?" Velma asked, giving me those cute puppy eyes of hers, I could hardly say no to.

"And why is that?" I questioned sweetly.

"Because I want to make him my daddy," she giggled.

WARNING: TRIGGING SCENES AHEAD!

When the Contract Expires

Three years of a contract marriage, and I told myself I never fell for him.

Then came the night I packed my bags — and realized my clothes only took up one small corner of the closet, yet I could recite every dish he loved better than my own birthday.

Ethan Thorne. The youngest self-made legend on Wall Street. Our marriage was written into a contract — three years, then a clean break.

Three years are up.

I found out he was back in Manhattan through a financial news alert. I cancelled every plan I had, spent an entire afternoon in the kitchen cooking everything he liked — and what I got in return was a photo my best friend sent from across town. Ethan, sitting in the middle of a crowd, laughing like he owned the room, a woman with long hair settled across his lap, his hand resting on her waist.

I told myself I could walk away without looking back.

Then he pushed open the bedroom door — and every resolution I had started to crack. Not because I still loved him. But because his first words weren't an apology, weren't an explanation —

"Clara, don't forget what you are to me."

I hated how certain he sounded when he said it. Hated that he knew every inch of how my body responded to him. Hated that the next morning he walked out and slammed the door without once turning around.

What I hated most was what I heard afterward: that when his family was choosing a candidate, there were plenty of names on that list — and Ethan was the one who asked for mine.

He never explained himself. Never tried to keep me. Yet the moment the word divorce left my mouth, something shifted in his face — dark, and heavy, like the air before a storm —

"If there's a divorce, it happens when I decide to let you go. No one else gets to call that."

Ethan, what is it that you actually want?

The contract is up. All I want is out.

But some people — you think they're just a signature on a page.

Turns out they're the thing you can't walk away from for the rest of your life.

As a woman fighting to reclaim her life after prison, Melissa Carter is desperate for a second chance. Branded an ex-convict and rejected everywhere she goes.

Reluctantly, William allows Melissa to stay, though he remains suspicious of her past. As Melissa cares for Lily, warmth slowly returns to the once-lonely mansion, and William begins to see Melissa not as a criminal but as a compassionate woman hiding deep pain.
Years earlier, a single night between them led to a pregnancy; she barely remembered who she had spent a night with—a chain of betrayals that destroyed Melissa’s life. Now, powerful secrets threaten to surface, secrets controlled by William’s mother, Scarlet Hill, who will do anything to protect the family’s reputation.
As love begins to grow, the truth about Melissa’s lost child may either unite them… or tear their world apart forever.

"Carrying your baby?", I asked finally surprised.
He leaned comfortably in the back of his chair, running his index finger and thumb in a circular motion over his slightly grown, sharp beard.
“I won’t go into too much detail, but let’s say , this will be the solution to your problems.”
I snorted at his words. Well this was simply magnificent but to him! Still I remained silent, not giving him the pleasure of looking once in his direction.
“So, what’s your answer?”, He went on shamelessly.

Scarlet Yu is a simple girl. She's willing to do everything just for her sister's sake! And one day she made a contract with the very famous business tycoon Tyron Zaires. She agreed to be the Billionaire's secret wife for a reason.

Orla Sullivan is the seventh and last daughter of Arnold Sullivan. She is a young girl who is loathed and rejected by every member of her family. Though a Sullivan, Orla lived a solitary life until she met Callan Barlowe at an uninvited dinner in her home.

Callan Barlowe is a ruthless billionaire, a man whose aura exudes dominance and agitation. He believes in working hard to make money and when he needs to relax; sleeping with high-class hoes is not an option, but a must-do for him. Marriage is not included in the list of things he has to do in life, but his mother wants him to get married at all costs.

Callan's and Orla's worlds collided and now, Orla's life is about to completely veer around from worse to something more inimical because she's about to get married to Callan Barlowe; the ruthless billionaire boss who doesn't give a shit about anyone.

She promised herself she'd walk away when the contract expired.
He promised himself he'd never care.
They were both wrong.

Hiding my baby from my brother's best friend felt like the right choice, until I found out I was pregnant once more. Despite my brother's warnings to stay away from his arrogant friend, I should have heeded his advice. The jerk ghosted me after I got pregnant, and to avoid any confrontation, I kept my daughter a secret. Fate had different plans as Lorenzo Kensington, dominant and irresistibly attractive, reenters my life. Resisting his tempting lips and chiseled body proves challenging, and one passionate night leaves me in disarray. When he discovers our daughter shares his features, panic sets in. My instincts urge me to escape, but there's a complication – I'm pregnant again.

"Marry me." Daniel let out, leaning back in his chair, completely unfazed.
“Excuse me… what!” Lila almost choked on her breath.
“It’s just a contract with no strings attached. Stay married to me for a year and get paid one million dollars.” He replied nonchalantly…

Just a day ago, Lila was a struggling artist, waiting tables while drowning in hospital bills by day and eviction notice by night. Her sister’s life was wrapped in a price tag, and no matter how many shifts she worked, it was never enough.
Jenna, her best friend, dragged her to a private club and that was where he met Daniel. A cold, arrogant billionaire with a reputation as ruthless as his charm.
She was supposed to be just another forgettable night but for some reason, he chose her… for a deal.
A contract marriage, strictly business with no love strings allowed.

How will she get out? Find out in this story!

Serena Hayes has always fought to survive—waiting tables by night, painting by dawn, and drowning under the weight of her mother’s medical bills. She knows better than to expect miracles. Until the night she spills wine on Damian Wolfe.

Damian Wolfe—the billionaire whose name is synonymous with power, fear, and control. He doesn’t do mistakes. He doesn’t do feelings. And he definitely doesn’t do women who defy him… until Serena does.

When a scandal threatens to unravel his empire, Damian makes Serena an unthinkable offer: pretend to be his fiancée, and every one of her problems disappears. Six months. No love. No strings. No rules broken.

But rules were made to shatter.

As their worlds collide—his icy empire against her fiery resilience—boundaries blur, sparks ignite, and secrets begin to claw their way to the surface. What started as a contract becomes a dangerous game neither of them planned to play.

Because somewhere between stolen glances and staged kisses, Damian discovers something he swore didn’t exist. And when lies explode into the spotlight, both must decide: walk away and lose everything… or risk it all for the one thing money can’t buy.

One choice. One betrayal. One love powerful enough to break them both.

But the greatest risk of all may be falling for the one man she swore she’d never trust again. Because this time, her heart isn’t the only thing at stake.

Why Tech Billionaire Artemis Rhodes would post such a thing?!

"Everyone is talking about the hashtag that just went viral in less than a few hours. Nevertheless, this girl has become a mystery everyone wants to solve. In fact, we have pictures from several people who have seen the girl in person."

The screen of the phone is small but I catch several pictures of me flashing on the screen. This can't be happening!

You know that panic attack I had been pushing down? Well, that thing comes back with a vengeance. It feels like all the air is sucked out of me and my chest gets tight. My vision blurs and I register I'm falling just before things go dark.

"Relax Miss Riley, this is Mr. Rhodes a donor to our hospital. This woman is his fiancee. I'll take things from here." The doctor says and steps aside to let the nurse out.

I watch her scurry away before I focus on the doctor. He's an older man with white hair and a friendly face but he gives me weird vibes.

Wait...did he just say, fiancee?

"I'm sorry what did you say?" I ask.

"I have a proposition for you." The man says.

"A proposition for me? What do you mean?"

"A proposition? It means-"

I wave my hand. "Not that! I'm not an idiot. I mean what proposition?"

"I want you to marry me." He says with a straight face.

So I bet your wondering how a woman who lives in an abandoned train car ends up married to a big tech billionaire.

Well it's simple. We ran right into each other, locked eyes and the rest is history.

Okay, no that's not exactly how it happened. See Artemis Rhodes is in a pinch. He needs a bride by his next birthday...six days from now. So what does he do? He hunts me down like a crazy stalker and offers me a ton of money to marry him.

Crazy right?

Of course I refuse because I have some dignity, but when my world is turned upside down I have no choice but to accept. Thanks to him I can't go back to my old life, and now I'm stuck in his.

I'm his rebellion against his family and the thorn in his flesh...His words not mine...

We are from different worlds and that means eventually those world clash and with it disaster strikes ready to tear the whole scheme apart. You know, just a regular Tuesday.

So what do two people do when everything starts going wrong?

Well let me tell you...

“Have sex with me,” she blurted out.
“I think you're drunk...”
"I'm not drunk. I'm not. I know what I'm saying." Her voice was calm but firm. "I need to feel... wanted. Or do you have a girlfriend?"
“No, I don't.....”
“Then you must be married,” Rebecca cut in.
“I’m not married.”
“Then what's stopping you? What? You don't find me attractive?” she asked, feeling slightly shy she was being rejected this way.
“No. Of course not. I–– I find you very attractive, Becca. As a matter of fact, I also want to do this but I can't. You're not in your right mind and I’d hate to take advantage of you.”
"You're not. I'm freely asking. I'm giving my consent. Please. Just hold me, make love to me and make this pain go away even if it's just for this night. I'm not asking for forever...."
"I couldn't give you forever even if that's what you wanted ––"

Before he could finish, Rebecca pressed her soft lips to his, cutting off his words.
That one reckless night was the night that changed everything.
Rebecca Smith wasn’t looking for love, she was running from pain. Asking a stranger for one night was never part of the plan, but loneliness has a way of breaking rules.
What was meant to be forgettable became unforgettable… and irreversible.
Now pregnant and facing the threat of losing her father’s property to her two-faced step-sister, Rebecca needs one thing to protect her future: a husband.
Derek Hemsworth has his own reasons. He doesn’t believe in love, and he’s never known how to give it. But without marriage, his family’s wealth remains out of reach. A wife on paper is all he needs and nothing more.
Until fate makes the cruelest move of all.
On her wedding day, Rebecca comes face-to-face with the groom she’s never met only to realize he’s the same man who once gave her warmth. The stranger who is also the father of her unborn child.
What happens when a one-night mistake turns into a binding vow neither of them can escape?
