"We’re sending you away for a while. "Devon said.

Pain shot through me. They didn’t want me here anymore.

Was this his way of saying that he didn’t want the baby? Was he too scared to say it to my face?

I tensed when David stepped up behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist.

“We don’t want to, but we have no other choice right now,” David said softly.

“I can stay with you,” I whispe...

"Take me, please." This time into his ear. He sat up some and grabbed my hips pulling me on to him harder. The deeper he went the more I lost control. I could tell he was holding back.

The door kicked in like it was being hit by a train. “Where is she NOW!” He growled asserting his dominance. How did he find me?! I hid under the covers, afraid of what he would do if no one answered. Afraid he would carry out what he said to me, thinking I didn’t hear. Aggressive, irrational, and dominant for something that he didn’t know he had until I first shifted. Is he going to rip me apart…...

you are my queen, and I want to kiss you now,” he said.
I’m not sure that was what I expected him to say, but I had been waiting to hear it. I smiled playfully, looking at him. “Yes, my king,” I said.

He chuckled and leaned into me and my hands hurriedly held him closer.
"I'm the only one who gets to see you like this. You're mine" he whispered into my ears and it
sent hot shivers down my body and pooled at my core.
He looked me straight in the eyes.

I swallowed and nodded slowly "Yes"
He smiled "That's my gir...

In my past life, when I eagerly handed my ultrasound to my gentle doctor husband, I didn't get a warm embrace. I got a scalpel. Without anesthesia.

I'd been married to Nikolai Konstantin for three years. In that time, I'd miscarried six times for him—nearly died on the operating table once.

Every time I woke up, this cold-blooded mafia boss would hold my hand and say, "I'm sorry you had to go through this. Should we try again?"

I thought he loved me.

Until my seventh pregnancy, when I saw that video—

My sister Scarlett curled up in his ar...

I turned my face away, tears soaking the hospital pillow...

Everyone says he loved me more than anything. So I chose to answer that love with death.

Forbes cover stories, tearful speeches at charity galas, shutting down Fifth Avenue every Valentine's Day just to watch fireworks with me. They said he ruled a business empire but would kneel in front of the entire world and call me his reason to live.

I used to believe it.

Until I discovered my perfect hus...

On our first wedding anniversary, I walked into my husband's office and found him having sex with my best friend.

He didn't even apologize. Instead, claiming he was disgusted that I hadn't produced an heir in a year of marriage, he threw divorce papers in my face.

Five years later, I returned to New York with my new husband—Cassian Vitiello, the Godfather of the North American underworld.

...

I was dying — and he was loving someone else.
I left.
Now he wants me back… but will I let him?

"Is that my son?" His voice wasn't loud, but it sliced through the busy office lobby like a blade, freezing me in place.

I stepped in front of Noah, shielding him with my body. "No," I lied, my voice trembling. "He's not."
But Alexander Kane, the billionaire CEO, didn't blink. He walked towards us, ignoring the gasps of his employees. "Don't lie to me. He has my eyes."

Before I could protest, he...

Three months. That’s all I have left.
For years, I was nothing more than his invisible wife—cleaning up his messes, enduring his coldness, watching him love someone else.
Now I want freedom, not him.

Too late. My heart has been shattered beyond repair.
And with the clock...

Two years. Nineteen wedding attempts. And every single one ended in blood.

The twelfth: botulism at the menu tasting. I had my stomach pumped and nearly asphyxiated on the ta...

"A woman delivering herself to my door... guess what a normal man would do?"

Everyone in this city knows that the king of the underworld, my husband Vincent, is crazy about me.

How pathetic—
Right before they wheeled me into surgery, I heard them through a cra...

I am the nameless corpse dumped in an alley, left without a head or limbs.

I hovered above, watching her step over my mutilated body, cooing gently into the phone with my stepsis...

Nineteen times. That's how many times Lucas promised to marry me, only to leave me standing alone because of her.

"Let's reschedule the registration, ...

Five years of cold marriage turned me into a stranger in my own home.
Ignored, unloved, I finally ran—taking the child he never knew about.
I thought he would forget me.
Instead, the moment I left, the ruthless CEO lost his mind… and started hunting me down.

Ethan, shirtless and dominant, pressed Anna down. His large hand climbed onto her soft, tender breast, teasing and kneading with expert precision.

Anna gasped, her breath coming in shallow hitches. "I can't take it... give it to me."

Ethan flipped her over. His predatory heat rubbed relentlessly between her butt cheeks before his swollen, purple-red member lunged into her from behind.

"Anna Riv...

At the school's field day, my six-year-old son pointed straight at me and shouted for everyone to hear, "I'd rather be alone than with her! She's the worst mom in the world!"

Then he turned and ran straight into the arms of the woman who destroyed my family, calling her n...

After escaping the brutal syndicate that raised her to be a numb "Angel of De...

Three months ago, I was kidnapped. When Alexander rescued me, I woke up in a hospital bed with my clothes disheveled and bruises covering my body. What happened during those hours? I don't remember any of it.

A week ago, I found out I was pregnant. He held me as I shook and told me that it wasn't my fault. That he failed to protect me. Even if the baby wasn't his, he'd raise it. He'd still give m...

For five years, I was nothing more than my sister's stand-in.

Lying broken in a hospital bed, I learned the final, soul-crushing truth: he was also responsible for my grandfather's death, the only famil...

I was always the extra daughter in the Cross family.
To my parents, I was nothing more than a walking blood bank for Clara. To my husband Adrian, I was a sinner who needed to atone for her crimes.
When Adrian forced me to donate a kidney to my sister, I agreed.
Not only did I agree, I liquidated every asset I owned and transferred it all to my research lab.
They thought I was stupid, thought I was...

I took a bullet for my husband five years ago. He married me in the ICU before the anesthesia wore off.

When his fingers brushed between my thighs, I gasped, still sensitive, and he paused. "Does it hurt?"
"A little," I admitted. "You were... thorough."
"I'll be gentler next time," he promised. "I'll take my time, make sure you're ready, make it so good for you that the only thing you feel is pleasure."
"Sebastian," I warned, but my voice came out breathy, my thighs falling open despite my best inte...
