A Marriage Deal With My Rival
" This is merely transactional," I said, his hand snaked around my neck, stealing my breath. He pulled me close. So close that I couldn’t see anything but him. His scent flooded my lungs leaving me breathless and for some reason, I liked it.
" There's nothing transactional about the things I want to do to you, Srce moje," He said, his cold fingers brushed against my clit.

Genevieve Henderson, CEO of H.Tech, loses everything in a single night—her company, her marriage, and the family she thought she could trust. Betrayed by her husband and cast aside by those who once called her their own, she is left with nothing but heartbreak and fury.
Broken and desperate, Genevieve stumbles into the street—and straight into the path of her greatest enemy.
Kade Petrović.
Her business rival. A ruthless billionaire. The last man she should ever depend on.
After saving her life, Kade makes her an offer she can’t afford to refuse: a one-year marriage in exchange for revenge. He will help her reclaim everything stolen from her—power, wealth, dignity—but the price is high. Trusting him means stepping into a world ruled by lies, contracts, and dangerous desires.
She never planned to trust her rival. She never planned to fall for her husband.
But in a marriage built on vengeance and secrets, love may be the most dangerous weapon of all.
Will their alliance bring justice—or destroy them both?

Chapter: 4GEN'S POV He didn't answer, but I knew he heard me as he walked out of the room. A few minutes later, his assistant walked in, I think Charles was his name— I'd seen him during those events, we'd talked a few times. He was very polite, unlike his boss.He offered me a smile then handed me a contract and a pen. “ Please read this meticulously and tell me if you have any problems with it. I nodded and mouthed a ‘thank you’ as I read through it.My face twisting to a frown as I read through it by the time I looked up, Charles was already gone and it was now Kade in the room— perfect! I could rant.“ What do you mean by I have zero right to cheat but you have rights to have multiple partners?” “ Because I don't want my wife touching other men,” “ But you think I want my husband touching other women?”“ Well you weren't going to let me touch you were you?” He asked and heat climbed up my face. I knew what he meant by touch and I wasn't ready for it. Not with him. I exhaled, “ Fine,” he

Chapter: 3GEN'S POVI opened my eyes, the world that welcomed me a blur. The smell of antiseptics, detergents, and drugs plagued the air, making me wonder where I was. I blinked a couple of times; the blurry haze cleared, and a bright light hung over me.It was then my mind registered the beeping sounds beside me. I turned, watching the lines sink into my veins.I was in a hospital.But who brought me here?The last thing I remembered was… Dominique and Tania, then Florian. Cotton filled my fingers, my nails digging into the material beneath me.Those fucking bastards.I closed my eyes as I tried to remember what had happened, the scene replaying in my mind. Me wandering into the streets. A car heading toward me. The driver slamming on the brakes.Right. That was what happened.Did that person save me?A baritone voice came from the other side of the door.“Schedule the business meeting for tomorrow night.”“But sir—”“I’m sure I was clear the first time.”“Yes, sir.”At first, I wasn’t sure wh

Chapter: 2GEN'S POV The memories burned like a freshly inflicted wound. Father training me to take after his company, him blessing my marriage with Dominique and the beautiful memories that went after.Father trusted Dominique, took him as a son. This was the main reason father modified his will, so it'd favour him as well, if only he knew…I should've known about this, especially when Dominique had suggested we didn't have kids until after three years. Those late nights out he claimed were work meetings, the thousands of dollars he spent every time I went on a business trip— I thought he was busy investing in something profitable but he was spending it all on her. They'd planned all this, right under my nose and now, I had nothing left. My gaze shifted, meeting Dom's as I clinged to the last bit of hope that the man I loved was still in there, hot tears cascading down my face. “ Dom…Please. Don't do this.”“ Stop trying to—” I cut Tiana off with a shove but before she could fall Dominique ru

Chapter: 1GEN’S POV“Your card was declined, ma’am,” my assistant said over the phone. My brows twisted as I stepped on the brakes.“What do you mean declined? I hadn’t used it all day.” My mind immediately shifted to Dom. Maybe he’d used my card and didn’t tell me. A small smile formed on my face. It was our anniversary after all—he’d probably spent the money on my gift.“What should I do, ma’am?” she asked, cutting through my thoughts.“Don’t worry, I’ll handle it later,” I said, grabbing my purse and pulling the key out of the ignition. “Make sure to finish up quickly and get some rest, okay?”“Of course.”She ended the call, and I shoved my phone into my purse, my lips tilting into a grin.I’d met Dom five years ago at a tech convention. My company was meant to display our latest inventions that day, but my car had broken down on the way. He saw me struggling and helped me. From then on, we kept in close touch. Soon we were dating, and not long after, we were married.It had been three year

I'll Make You Remember MeALEXANDER 2 Weeks Later...The doctors continued with their treatment, mother and Jerald stayed in the hospital to take care of Caspian.It was clear, there was nothing they could do to save him but I couldn't help but hope as for Daphne, my men had found her location a week ago but I'd been hesitant to meet her, but as I glanced at the image of her smiling with another man I couldn't help the venom that bled into my veins." Where are you going?" Mother asked, as I walked to the door.I tucked my phone into my pocket. " I'll be back, I have some business to attend to." I didn't wait for her reply as I stepped out my nostrils flared as I tried to calm my nerves.I pulled my car door open and slammed it shut, revving the engine to life and speeding to the restaurant. My knuckles turning white, my jaw tightened as I drove.I knew I was wrong.I knew I shouldn't have spoken to her that way.But she wasn't meant to physically exist with another man. Not whilst I still breathed.I arrived

Chapter: 82. Pain: A Very Familiar Feeling.ALEXANDER I paced around the hallway as I dialed Daphne's line for the last time and just like the last 30 calls it went to voicemail. " Of for fucks sake Daphne, please pick up the phone!" I groaned as I dialed the number once more but when I heard that robotic voice, I smashed the phone against the ground, running my fingers through my hair as I let out a deep breath." This is all your fault," Mother acknowledged, worry written all over her face. " I told you she was still shaken from the shock, I told you to be careful with her but you didn't listen, instead you let your anger take control and you ruined everything!"" What do you want me to do mum?! What the fuck do you want me to do? I've done everything I could to keep us all safe but now, look at us! My brother is in the fucking ER, Eliot is dead, I don't know, I don't know what the fuck to do anymore!" I hated this feeling, the feeling of weakness, the memories it brought of a past I didn't want to remember.***—12, Years

" I-i-i'm Sorry," I stuttered, my hands shook, fear running through my veins.He reached me in two steps. " I told you not to go out didn't I? I fucking warned you!!!!" He spat and I gulped, tears running down my face." I know, I know. I didn't mean for this to happen..."" But it did!" The words slammed into my chest, weakening me. " Now Caspian is in the ER and Eliot..." His voice broke, his lips tilting as more tears rolled down his face.What had happened to Eliot?It couldn't be...It shouldn't be..." Eliot is dead." My world shattered to pieces. My blood froze mid-flow. " What do you mean dead?" My words were a stutter, as I tried to calm myself, convincing myself that it wasn't true. It shouldn't be true." When we found out that Arrow's men were attacking the park, I and Eliot set out to get you guys but Arrow's men got to us, chasing us down. We crashed into a buildin

You're okay, you're okay...Don't, Don't close your eyes." I cried as I braced his palm. An attempt to stop the bleeding but to wasn't working...why wasn't working??He coughed, a smile on his pale lips as his life slipped from his grasp and there was nothing I could do. " I'm fine, just a minimal injury..."" Minimal?" I was appalled. " You got shot!! You're bleeding!"" I'm fine, we need to get out of here now," " We need to get you to a hospital!" Footsteps echoed behind us, immediately, he rose to his feet, staggering slightly as

Chapter: 79. He Pulled The TriggerCASPIAN Daphne suggested we go to a amusement park. At first I didn't understand why, I still don't but hey. Maybe she's always wanted to come here. There are guards littered around the park although Daphne couldn't see them I could, they were just a few inches away from us. Watching our every move. " Now are you going to tell me what happened?" Daphne spoke, making me peel my eyes away from the guards. " Hmm?" She scoffed. " I know something wrong happened to you, Alex noticed it too but was proud to ask." " You promised we weren't going to talk about him..." I said and she waved her hands in surrender. " Okay, Okay, fine, my lips are sealed." She gestures by zipping her lips. " No more Alex," I smiled, as we walked to one of the snack shops, I ordered some corn dogs for her and a popcorn for me. " So...Come on, tell me what happened," she pushed as we settled on a bench nearby. " You know a problem shared is half solved, I may be able to help." " I

Chapter: 78. Just A FlingCASPIAN She said those words and walked away, her shoulders brushing against mine softly but I could see it, from the corner of her eyes, a tear— barely there— but I could see it clearly. As she tried to walk through the gates I circled her wrist, tugging her towards me. Her amber eyes met mine and just like aways, it stole my breath. She tried to release her grasp but my hold only tightened. " Is this how you want to end things? You want to end it this way? Look me in the fucking eye and tell me that you want me to leave and I swear I will walk away and I'll never contact you again." She remained silent, but she was struggling to free herself anymore, her eyes planted to the ground. I tilted her chin, making her meet my gaze. " Say it Kira!" It wasn't an order, it was a plead, a desperate plead for her to let me stay. " Don't make me do this..." " You can't even say it Kira! You can't even say those words!" I cried but she snapped her wrist away from me. Mee

FORBIDDEN AFFAIRS: MY HUSBAND'S BROTHER
“Take it off, dusha moya.”
His voice was a low, feral growl against my ear. His kisses trailed down my neck—slow, claiming, deliberate. His gaze burned where it landed… on my ring.
The ring my husband gave me.
The husband who wasn’t him.
“Why?” I whispered, breathless.
Cassian’s lips brushed my chest, hot and possessive.
“I don’t want any trace of him on you while I fuck you.”
The ring slid off my finger. The jewel hit the floor.
And my world shattered all over again.
—
Elara Mei was the perfect daughter—obedient, quiet, raised to follow orders without question. Even when it meant breaking her own heart by leaving Cassian Ivanov.
Years later, her father signs a contract with the powerful Ivanov family. The price?
Her marriage to their second son.
She accepts. Like she always does.
Until she discovers the truth—
Her new husband’s brother is the man she once loved.
The man she never stopped loving.
The man who will burn the world to claim her back.
Caught between loyalty and desire, duty and obsession, Elara must make an impossible choice:
The man she’s bound to by contract…
or the man who owns her heart, her body, and her ruin?

Chapter: Chapter 0005ELARA I kicked him off me, his body thudding against the floor, my once blurred vision cleared, the image of what had happened between us cemented in my mind. I was about to ruin my life, everything I'd built all because of this man, no, no, no I couldn't let that happen. I covered myself and rushed to my feet. My gaze landed on the door and my stomach dropped. It was Harrison. His eyes were burning red, his veins throbbing against his skin. He marched inside right at me, I swallowed, tears brimming in my eyes. His hand circled my wrist as he pulled me out the room but just as we were at the door another hand curled around my wrist, stopping me— it was Cassian. His grip firm but he didn't want to harm me. “ Get your filthy hands off my fiancé,” Harrison growled, dragging me forward with so much force I felt my bone crack. My hand slipped my Cassian's hold, his gaze remained on me as he dragged me out the room. “ Harry…Har..I can explai..Please listen to me.” I begged, my heart

Chapter: Chapter 0004“Are you okay, ma'am?” A maid rushed toward me, helping me off the ground. Anger surged through my bloodstream, the bitter taste of vengeance lingering on my tongue. But I knew I couldn’t do a thing — not when Harrison loved her so much, not when the whole world wouldn’t believe a word I said.I turned to the maid and smiled. “I’m fine. I just have to prepare for work. Please pack my breakfast.”“But ma’am, there’s coffee all over your chest. It may have burned your skin. Wouldn’t you want to get that checked?”“I’m fine, don’t worry. It’s just a minor burn. I’ll have it checked when I get to work.” I assured her and walked back to my bedroom. I felt like ripping hair out of my scalp, my skin burning as the cold breeze grazed me.Yeah. Minor burn.My feet carried me into the bedroom. I slammed the door behind me, peeling the shirt off my skin and dumping it into the laundry basket. A heavy sigh escaped my lips as I walked into the bathroom.I guess this was my life now.Constant humil

Chapter: Chapter 0003“ It's none of your business, now please get out of my way.” I said quickly, trying to sound all strong and bold and he seemed to have believed me because he took a couple steps back. I gave him a curt nod and made for the door when his voice came.“ Do you love him?” He whispered as though he tried to believe otherwise, that I didn't love Harrison, and truly, I didn't but I wasn't going to tell him that. We were done and there's nothing left to fix.“ Yes. I do love him.”“ Then I'm sure you know that saying that won't stop me from having you.” I could hear the thrill in his tone, his steps echoing behind me. My heart sped up in my chest.“ We broke up, Cassian. It's time you move on.”“ There's no moving on when it comes to us, Dusha Moy. You were mine, You are mine, You'll forever be mine, even if you try to forget it.” “ I'm not yours.” I turned, pointing my finger at him. “ I will never be yours, so get out of that stupid fantasy world of yours!” With that, I turned and walked b

Chapter: Chapter 0002His hard hands circled around my frame, lifting me from the ground of the truck, after making sure that the men were properly dealt with. His eyes breezed my skin, trailing from my face down to my dress, then back to my face. His gaze was so intense it made my stomach twist. I swallowed, the tension hung thick between us.This was the first time I'd seen him since that night.The night I was sure he'd never forgive me for.And now he's back and what made it worse was that he saved me.At this point I would've been grateful if those scum bags took me away.I'd expected him to say something, throw me to the ground, hit me, curse me at me. But he didn't. He just walked, silently— and the silence was killing me. His chest heaved, muscles flexing beneath the strained white shirt. My blood painted his clothes but he didn't seem to mind as he continued his walk into the hall. Instinctively, I wrapped my hands around his neck, closing my eyes and letting his warmth wrapped around me. I trie

Chapter: Chapter 0001Elara's POV I sucked in a shaky breath, my knuckles whitening as I grabbed a fistful of my silk dress, my hands trembled, my eyes aching as tears begged to roll down my face. I took another breath, lifting my finger and wiping the tears away. Thank God for water proof make-up. The door creaked open and immediately, I composed myself, the pain on my face fixing itself to a smile. Her harsh perfume hit me first and then her sweet voice. “ Elara!! You look so stunning.” She complimented rushing to me, her heels clicking against the floor. Her eyes shone bright as though she was the one getting engaged. “ I'm sure Harry wouldn't be able to keep his eyes off you.” A smile grazed my lips.It wasn't that visible but.It was there.“ Are you okay dear?” She obviously didn't care, so I didn't see the need to tell her how I felt. “ I hope you're not planning on changing your mind?”Yes I was.But I didn't say that.“ You know what'll happen if you don't get married to Harry right?” I knew,
