Alpha Kade paid the five million dollars, but the price was me. The arrangement is both simple and twisted: during the day, I am his invisible servant scrubbing the floors while he ignores me. But by nighttime, I am forced into his bed.

My heart stuttered.
This could not be real.
“But the rules—“
“I made them. I can destroy them. I already destroyed them when I kissed you.” He was dangerously close now, but all I kept getting was danger signals combined with the panic, alarm, lust and above all, the guilt.

"You have no choice, Amelia. Marry me or lose your life." He told me, smirking. I froze.

"Look at me!" He spoke angrily.

"You're a monster," I said softly, almost whispering, refusing me to obey.

"Look at me!" He shouted, making me comply. "I rule this place, ragazza! You only speak or move in my presence if I allow it. I decide whether you live or die. I am the Don, ragazza," he said, pointing the gun at me again, this time at my head, the same place he had just shot.

I struggled to breathe, my chest rising and falling, his words echoing in every part of my body. He stared intensely at me while cocking the pistol, ready to fire.

"Don't hurt me, Stefano," I pleaded, my voice trembling and faltering.

"Too late, Beatrice."

His fingers moved; Stefano was about to pull the trigger when the image of Davide filled my mind, his laughter, the sleepless nights caring for him, and most importantly, the question of who would take care of him when I was no longer there. Stefano had no right, Stefano couldn't do this, and I would do anything to save my son, even if it meant handing him over to one of the leaders of the most powerful mafia in the country.

He brought his first love home. My son said, "I want her to be my mommy."
That was the moment I realized—I had been nothing but a fool for five years.
I gave up my dream of becoming an architect. I became a full-time wife and mother. I loved him with everything I had. But he never looked at me. Not once.
When his first love returned, he brought her into our home. My son adored her. My husband defended her. And I became the outsider in my own family.
So I signed the divorce papers. I took back my dreams. I said yes to a new job offer.
Now he's chasing after me, begging me to stay. But it's too late.
I'm done being invisible. This time, I'm choosing me.

Five years ago, my family burned to death in an "accident."

My loving husband Clifford signed the papers himself—shipped me off to a mental institution without a second thought.

Inside, Becky carved up my face with shattered glass. The same orphan I'd put through school. Then she rebuilt herself to match my features and stole my life—my husband, my son, everything.

Now she marched into the clinic where I scrub floors, dragging my biological child behind her, demanding I apologize to him like some servant.

She has no idea what kind of monster she created.

My husband's childhood sweetheart lost her entry for the competition,
so he gave mine to her.
It was I who saved him all those years ago,
and that's why he married me.
But he turned his back on me right after our wedding.
I've been childhood sweetheart all these years.
But this time,
I suddenly feel like this marriage has lost all its meaning.
After handing in the transfer request I had prepared long ago to the factory director,
I rejected his offer to stay.
I can't bear to stay in this place for another day.
I want to go to New York,
start a new chapter in my life,
and let everything that happened before just drift away. all its meaning.

“You are to marry the king, Rinoa.” Those words from my father changed my life.

Cillian was my world — the reason my sun set and the flowers bloomed. But our twisted fate was cruel and unfair.

On the verge of his death, I asked the Gods to trade places with him, to let me die in his stead.
I’m cursed to meet Cillian in every lifetime. In the last one, if he doesn’t remember me, I’ll turn into foam — fading away, forgotten, gone.

In my final life, he was my boss — arrogant, ruthless, and cold. But this time, I’m no longer the woman he once deserved.
I plan to live my life away from the chains of our forgotten love.
But fate is never kind. He needs me more than ever.

Should I risk it all again just to call him mine?
Should I set myself on fire only to feel his warmth?

Time was never my ally.
And I stand at the edge — torn between loving him again or finally being free.

Can our love endure the viciousness of history and time?
I have to choose… even if it means losing it all, or finally letting him go.

On the day I was supposed to get married....
I watched my fiancé, Rafael, kissing another woman on his office.
Not a stranger.
My best friend.
Right then, I knew I’d only ever been the safe option, not the one he really wanted.
I left the dress, the ring, and my family’s reputation to burn in every group chat and gossip thread.
All I took with me was a small suitcase, a silent phone, and one secret I hadn’t fully understood yet: there was a baby growing inside me.
Rafael’s baby.
Six years later, I’d built a new life in Los Angeles. By day, I designed buildings for an architecture firm, drawing sharp lines to hold back the cracks I didn’t show anyone. By night, I painted until color stained my fingers and the floor.
In my calm house by the sea, a little girl with hazel eyes called me “Mom” and sprinted between piles of rolled-up blueprints.
In this new version of my life, there was Luca.
The man who always showed up with coffee, mocked my playlist, and told me, “With me, you don’t have to act tough.”
I thought I’d finally found calm.
Until that gala night.
The voice I used to almost promise forever stopped right behind me. “Long time no see, Maya.”
When Rafael’s eyes landed on my daughter’s matching hazel gaze, the air in the room grew heavy.
He wanted answers.
I wanted the nearest exit.
And before the night was over, one sentence from him tore through everything I’d carefully rebuilt:
“You need to meet my brother. His name’s Luca.”
My lungs forgot how to work.
I stared at the man I’d been calling my boyfriend… and wondered if my life had just fallen apart all over again....

"I fd with a pretty bimbo all night. Her energy was unmatched!" James smirked as he walked past.
"Don't you think you should stop messing around?" I muttered. "If the media finds out, you'll be in trouble. Sleeping with a different girl every night doesn't make you a better man. You should settle down soon."
"Wow," James scoffed, his eyes glinting with amusement. "I don't remember asking for your advice. You're just my secretary—stick to that. Besides, if the media does find out, isn't it your job to deny it? Unless… you're jealous and want to sleep with me too."

He was my fated mate. Not the Alpha I was promised.
I was meant to be Luna to Darius Thorn—cold, cruel, and hungry for control. But the night I saved the rogue wolf Kieran, my soul was claimed by him instead.
And now, the pack will burn to keep us apart.


As the destined Luna of the Crescent Moon Pack, Lyra’s life was mapped out: a mating ceremony to the ruthless Alpha Darius, a lifetime of duty, and a future she never chose. But when she rescues a bleeding, broken rogue named Kieran, a soul-deep bond ignites between them—one that defies the pack’s laws, the Alpha’s will, and even the ancient prophecy that binds her fate.
Torn between the mate mark of Darius and the telepathic pull of Kieran, Lyra is thrust into a war of love and power. Darius’s obsession twists into violence, his dark illusions and treachery threatening to shatter the pack from within. But when her latent storm-wielding Luna powers awaken, Lyra discovers she is far more than a pawn. She is the Luna-born, her glowing mark a beacon of hope—and a weapon.
With Kieran at her side, Lyra rallies the loyal, roots out the traitors, and defies a prophecy that demands she sacrifice the one she loves most. She will not bow to the Alpha Council. She will not let Darius steal her freedom. And she will not let the world tell her who to love.
This is not just a war for the pack.
This is a war for her soul.
And she will burn the old rules to ash to claim it.

"Marry me."
Thalia stared at Alexander Croft, the heir to the family she had always believed responsible for her parents' deaths.
"You want me to marry you? You actually think I'd agree to that?"
"Why not? You'll regain control of your family's wealth, and I'll have a partner who understands what it means to carry a family's legacy. You can't fight this battle alone."
Only days ago, Thalia had caught her husband, Brandon, in bed with her best friend. Betrayed and humiliated, she was forced to sign away her fortune, her shares, and control of her family's company.

"God is just an abstract idea, Bruno."
Nadja’s words are laced with years of suppressed rage. He wasn’t there during the horrors of her childhood, nor when she was tortured to the brink of death.
But Bruno’s response is a heavy one: "He was always watching. Without that fire, you would never have become His chosen one."
After escaping the brutal syndicate that raised her to be a numb "Angel of Death," Nadja wants nothing to do with fate. But destiny has other plans. She is tasked with a mission that feels like a cruel joke: saving Gabriel Castain, a ten-year-old girl who happens to be the daughter of Lucifer.
As the lines between heaven and hell blur, Nadja must face a heart-wrenching choice. Is saving the devil’s child the ultimate path to atonement, or just another game played by the God she no longer trusts?

He was supposed to be a one-night stand. Not my roommate, my captain, and my biggest enemy.
I'm Elliot Cross, and I came to college on a hockey scholarship with one goal: prove everyone wrong about the "too small" goalie and make it to the NHL.
I wasn't supposed to hook up with a stranger at a frat party.
I definitely wasn't supposed to discover that stranger is Weston Pierce, my team captain, and new roommate, the guy everyone on the team hates.
West is 6'3" of cold, controlled perfection. He's strict, demanding, and treats me like I don't belong on his team. On the ice, he humiliates me. Off the ice, he ignores me.
But when we're alone? When no one's watching?
He can't keep his hands off me.
It starts as hate. It turns into heat. And then it becomes something neither of us can control.

Everyone told me to stay away from him.
The dragon shifter. The last of his kind. The boy whose shadow eats the light.

I didn't listen.

I was just a girl who couldn't shift. No magic. No past. Just a grandmother's secret and a letter that shouldn't have been mine. Northwind Academy was supposed to be my answer. Instead, it became my battlefield.

He sat alone in every class. People crossed the room to avoid him. They called him cursed. A killer. A monster.

But when his magic spiraled out of control—his shadow swallowing the Training Ground—he didn't hurt me. He held me. And something ancient inside my chest woke up.

Now my blood burns with fire I can't name. My skin glows gold when danger comes. And every touch from him sends my heart into a war I'm not sure I'll survive.

They say a dragon's heart is a curse.
But falling for him?
That might be my destiny.

"Whose child are you carrying, Emily?" I opened my mouth and closed it again, unable to give him an answer because I also don't know if it's his or his brothers. "Answer me, dammit!" I whimpered in fear when banged the door behind me with his fist.

When Emily's father died living her with a hospital bill, she had no choice but to accept Dan Cross's proposal for a fake marriage. Dan Cross wanted to gain control of his father's company and Emily only wanted money and a roof over her head, maybe love later on. What she didn't expect is to fall in love for Tyson Cross, her brother-in-law. The last straw was finding out that she's pregnant but who's the father of the baby.

She ran away from home, leaving with anger inside her heart.
She will never accept his father's mistress to become the legal wife after her mom died.
Alone, lost, hungry, and desperate.
She met the young and wild Lance Angelo Vergara.
They shared a night full of passion.
Ashamed of what she did.
Nathalie Audrey Falcon leaves without saying goodbye.
Leaving Lance is so much rage and burning desire.
After 6 years, their path crossed again.
The Forgotten Desire that they felt a long time ago, ignites.
Lance will never forget the night that they had chased her.
But it will never be the same again.
She is already married, with a twin. Hiding something...
