Her Price, His Obsession (A Billionaire dark Romance)

Her Price, His Obsession (A Billionaire dark Romance)

Bella Hale has known suffering her entire life. Orphaned at sixteen, she survives on scraps and desperation. She does whatever it takes not to starve with only little dignity intact. She envies the rich—people who seem immune to hardship and pain. Yet she promised herself that if she ever got her hands on one of them, she would never let go. She was done suffering. Lucian Rodriguez is everything she should despise. A cold, selfish, ruthless billionaire with little conscience and no mercy… a man who knows how to smile for the world while keeping his darkness well hidden. Their worlds collide when Lucian’s four-month-old daughter goes missing… and Bella finds her. Lucian offers no gratitude…and Bella refuses to let the opportunity slip. She demands compensation. Not just money, but security. A lifetime guarantee that she will never be poor again. In return, she will do whatever he wants. Her body. Her life. He can have it all. Bella is taken into his world—strictly as a deal. What she doesn’t realize is that when you make a deal with the devil, you should never expect it to be fair. And she will learn too late that being poor was far better than belonging to Lucian Rodriguez. A deal turns into obsession. Survival into desire. Desire into Hate. Hate into Love. That love and commitment becomes the biggest and worst mistake. Will Bella’s desperate deal destroy her? Or Will she become Lucian’s destruction?

Chapter: Chapter 182: Finale: Our Forever 💝
The wedding day had finally arrived.After two long months of preparation, Bella and Lucian were finally getting married.Although they had considered New York, Bella ultimately chose Australia. It was where her new life had truly begun, and there was nowhere else she'd rather say, ‘I do.’"Hurry up!" Clara shouted at Edwin. "I don't want to be late for Bella's wedding. I already missed helping her get ready. At least let me make it in time to watch her walk down the aisle.""Esme! Renee! Get into the car!" she called her daughters.Edwin let out a sigh."Hold on. I'm just zipping up my trousers.""Then zip them faster.""Damn," he muttered under his breath. "After sucking my cock so well, now you're rushing me."He finished getting dressed, walked outside, climbed into the driver's seat, and pulled the car onto the road.*******Ava had just finished getting dressed.Amelia was five months old now, growing more beautiful with each passing day.Nolan walked up behind Ava and wrapped h

Chapter: Chapter 181: Love Takes Flight
"Yes... yes, yes, yes! I'll marry you!"Bella threw her arms around Lucian's neck and kissed him over and over again, laughing through her tears."Aww..." everyone chorused, clapping and cheering.Lucian smiled and wiped away the tears on her cheeks."I have one more surprise for you."Bella blinked. "Another one?"He nodded and intertwined his fingers with hers."Come with me."Everyone followed them out of the restaurant.Danielle glanced longingly at the table."Wait!" she called, waving a waiter over. "Please pack all this food for me.""Danielle," Ava sighed. "Leave the food.""But…"She looked at the untouched dishes with genuine heartbreak."...Fine."Kate laughed.A few minutes later, she collected the neatly packed takeaway from the waiter.She already knew Danielle would sulk if she left it behind.Not long afterward, they all climbed into their cars and drove to a vast open field.Bella looked around in confusion.There was nothing there… just grass.She turned to Lucian."

Chapter: Chapter 180: Forever Begins Tonight
Draven had already jerked off three times while staring at Selene's picture.With a frustrated sigh, he picked up his phone and called her, but she didn't answer.He tossed the phone onto the bed and ran a hand through his hair.He missed her so much. He missed her random, ridiculous comments, the way she'd say the funniest things with such an innocent face... and the way she'd look at him afterward as if she'd done nothing wrong."I'm going to Paris," he muttered. "I can't take this anymore."Control yourself. There's only one day left. Do it for Lucian, a voice in his head reminded him.Draven groaned."Yeah, because somehow another man's proposal has become my top priority.”********Ava sat by the pool, enjoying the warm Paris breeze. It was the last day of their trip.Tonight was the night.Lucian was flying in to propose to Bella, and it was up to her to make sure Bella arrived on time without suspecting a thing.Across from her, Bella sipped her wine, looking completely relaxed

Chapter: Chapter 179: A Week to Remember
Selene took a deep breath as she walked into the police station. Bella and Draven stood on either side of her, each giving her a reassuring look.They had come to see Nancy.A few moments later, an officer escorted Nancy into the visitors' area, her wrists restrained in handcuffs.The sight made Selene's heart ache."Mom..." she whispered with tears in her eyes.Nancy looked at her and gave a hollow smile."Selene... no need to cry. I brought this upon myself. At least I no longer have to live among people I despised. I'm finally done pretending."Bella's jaw tightened, but she remained silent. There was no point arguing with someone who refused to acknowledge the truth.Nancy's gaze shifted to Draven."At least I was right about him," she said. "If those people ever fail to treat you well, he will."Selene stared at her in disbelief."Can you even hear yourself?" she asked, her voice trembling. "You trust a man we only met recently more than the family who stood by us for years."She

Chapter: Chapter 178: A Love Worth Waiting For
Mirabel had just finished her shower. Sitting in front of the dressing table, she dried and combed her hair.A moment later, Kelvin walked into the bedroom. Fresh from his own shower, he looked relaxed, though there was a quiet heaviness in his expression. He sat on the edge of the bed.Mirabel guessed he had just finished putting Theo to sleep.She continued brushing her hair, feeling his gaze linger on her."Have you eaten?" he asked."Yes," she replied with a small smile. "I ate at Ava's place. Sorry I wasn't here when you got back."Kelvin shook his head. "Oh, no. It's not a problem."She nodded and swept her hair over one shoulder, exposing the smooth curve of her back. Reaching behind herself, she fumbled with the ties of her nightdress, pretending they were giving her more trouble than they really were.Kelvin swallowed. "Let me help you."She smiled. "Okay."He rose from the bed and walked over to her. Standing behind her, he met her eyes through the mirror before lowering his

Chapter: Chapter 177: The Language of Love
"I want to propose to Bella," Lucian said as he lined up his shot on the snooker table.The other three men looked at him."So?" Kelvin asked. "Why are you telling us? Just do it.""I don't want something ordinary." Lucian sank the ball into the corner pocket. "I need a grand proposal. Something she'll never forget.”Draven nodded as he stepped up for his turn. He struck the cue ball, sending one of the balls cleanly into the corner pocket."What about sponsoring a girls' trip to Paris?" Nolan suggested. "They've always wanted to travel together."Lucian frowned. "And how does that relate to my proposal?"Nolan leaned back with a grin."You propose on the last day of the trip. Paris is the city of love, after all.”"Damn," Draven muttered in approval.He rested his cue over his shoulder."I'll need your advice with Selene later. She wants us to take things slow when it comes to marriage... and honestly, she still has a lot she wants to accomplish. So I'll wait until she's ready."Luci

Moonmark: The Alpha's Celestial Mate

Moonmark: The Alpha's Celestial Mate

“Mate with me and have my pups.” Serena was still on the ground. Her ears were ringing from the absurd demand she’d just heard. Mate? Pups? She blinked up at him, confused and breathless. “What the hell?” ********** She came to prove their world was real… She didn’t expect to be crowned its Queen. When desperate artifact researcher Serena Rael crashes the sacred mating ritual of the Trueblood Alpha King, Kaelen Syrus, she shatters more than tradition — she triggers an ancient Moonbond that cannot be broken. Now bound to a cold, powerful king who despises humans, Serena is obligated to bear his pups in order to survive a realm ruled by wolves, secrets, and deadly magic. But her presence has awakened something far older than fate: a prophecy, a mark, a war and a journey to other packs and realms. He lost his mate to a human. She is a defiant human, who never wished to belong to a werewolf. Fate doesn’t care. But as hidden truths rise and betrayal cuts deep, Serena must choose: The love that claimed her… or the life and freedom she once fought for.

Chapter: Chapter 75: Frost and Fire
Serena’s eyes shimmered with tears.“I… I noticed that after the wounds, I couldn’t connect with my wolf. The poison was strong, Your Highness. I… I’ll stay back. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time,” she lied smoothly. Kaelen narrowed his eyes, sensing that there was truth in her claim. Responsibility, he decided, should fall on his shoulders.“Prepare a carriage for her,” he ordered.Shortly, a specially-prepared carriage arrived.Naya, still reeling from her first wolf shift and the overwhelming sensations, flanked Serena’s carriage. She decided that once they reached their destination, she would speak with her mother…she needed answers.Soon, the cold greeted them. The name Frostmoon lived up to itself…snow-covered grounds stretched endlessly, and glaciers of ice glimmered under the pale sun. Another reason Kaelen had insisted they travel in wolf form: their thick furs would shield them from the biting cold.A loud howl tore through the air as the gates swung open.The Alpha lea

Chapter: Chapter 74: Shifting Tides
Kaelen stood by the window, his hair moving softly in the cool morning breeze. He turned when the door opened and shut with a sharp bang. To his own surprise, he didn’t feel anger at her sudden entrance. “Your Highness,” she bowed, then slowly lifted her head. “I was told you requested my presence.” Serena’s eyes lingered on him for a heartbeat, unable to help herself. He looked as lethal as ever. Kaelen studied her quietly before speaking. “Why did you jump in and risk your life for me?” he asked, genuine curiosity threading his voice. Because I love you, she answered silently, which he didn't hear. “It was instinct,” Serena said aloud. “I saw the danger and didn’t think. There was no other choice.” Kaelen stared at her, studying her face as though another answer might reveal itself if he looked long enough. “What do you want in return?” he asked at last, his voice cool. “You could be made a consort.” Serena resisted the urge to roll her eyes outwardly. “I’m

Chapter: Chapter 73: Unanswered Questions
Somaya looked at her, confused, wondering why she was being told to eat the fruit.“I said eat it,” Lirvana said through gritted teeth.Fear crawled up Somaya’s spine. What if it was poisoned? She shook her head slowly, refusing.Lirvana grabbed a knife.Somaya’s eyes widened as she stepped back, intending to reach the door.“Take another step,” Lirvana warned coldly, “and I will cut you open, and nothing will happen.”Somaya froze, breaking into a cold sweat, her body trembling with fear.Lirvana cut a chunk of the fruit and yanked her closer, forcing it into her mouth.“Chew and swallow it.”Somaya obeyed. The taste was sweet, but she felt no pleasure from it.Lirvana released her, though the knife remained pointed at her.“Now tell me,” she said sharply, “what is Janina’s motive in this castle? Is she truly helping me, or not?”Somaya knew instantly she was doomed. The fruit was a truth-binder. Once it settled, lies would be impossible.She tried to fight it, clenched her jaw, but

Chapter: Chapter 72: A maids Sacrifice
Kaelen stared at the body at his feet, blood pooling beneath her. The sight dragged him back to the day Elora died…only this time, it was a maid, and she had given her life to save his. Thayne had already taken off after the assassin with the guards, but Kaelen knew it meant nothing. Catching the culprit would not save Serena as she lay dying before him. Without hesitation, the Alpha bent down and gathered her into his arms. “Call the healers and the priestess,” he ordered. The celebration died instantly. The music fell silent, the laughter vanished, and the rain that had begun the night already ceased, as though the sky itself had withdrawn. From a distance, Janina watched, her lips tightening in quiet frustration. The plan had failed. A poison that potent took time, patience, and precision to prepare…and it had been wasted. Her gaze hardened as it fixed on Kaelen, resentment burning beneath her calm exterior. Beside her, Lirvana noticed the look. She had suspected Janina

Chapter: Chapter 71: Blood and Rain
Serena looked at him as though he were joking.“Arrest who?” she asked, her voice cutting through the room.A sharp intake of breath followed. Thayne stiffened, the guards exchanged looks…a maid questioning the King?Before she could react, Thayne seized her arm.Her heart slammed violently. Did Kaelen find out I was human?No, don’t be foolish. Don’t sell yourself out.Cry. Now.Tears flooded her eyes on command.“I haven’t committed any offense, Your Highness,” she said, her voice trembling as a tear slipped down her cheek.“You do not know the pack you belong to,” Kaelen said coldly. “And there is no such thing as rogues in Selvayra. Now answer me. Where did you come from? Which traitorous Alpha sent you here to kill me?”“Are you out of your goddamn mind? I came to save you, not kill you.”The words burned on her tongue, but she swallowed them back. As long as he could not prove she had done anything wrong, he could not keep her locked away forever. Still, fear crawled beneath her

Chapter: Chapter 70 :The King's Gaze
Serena kept her head bowed like a proper maid while Somaya scanned through them, assigning each their work posts for the day in preparation for the celebration.Somaya had already selected two maids. Serena crossed her fingers beneath her sleeves, silently praying the third would be her, and to her luck…“You,” Somaya said pointing at her “The King’s chambers. Now.”Serena released a quiet breath of relief and walked confidently toward Kaelen’s chambers, careful not to show how fast her heart was pounding.The rest of the maids exchanged uneasy glances. None of them looked excited about working in the King’s chambers.******* (Kaelen’s chamber)The Alpha King stared blankly at Lirvana, who stood in his chamber questioning him with tears in her eyes. He couldn’t have cared less…even if she shed blood, it wouldn’t move him.“Why are you doing this?” she demanded. “I thought you would accept me by now. It’s fine if I am not crowned, but what about what I deserve? Why do you
