The Billionaire’s Forbidden Desire(One contract. One rule)
“You weren’t supposed to fall for me.”
A bitter laugh escapes me before I can stop it. “Then what exactly did you think this was going to be?”
Alexander stays silent.
“This vacation,” I continue, my voice rising. “The way you touch me. The way you look at me when you think I’m not watching. Sleeping in the same bed every night and holding me. What was I supposed to feel?”
**************** Ethan Cole has nothing left but debt, a sick sister to protect, and pride he was ready to lose. So when Billionaire Alex Veyron offers him a simple arrangement, he signs. The contract comes with money, protection, no deadline, but has only one rule…..
Do not fall in love.
It should have stayed professional.
Instead, stolen glances turn into heated nights. Power games turn into obsessions, and the man Ethan was supposed to use becomes the only one willing to burn the world for him.
When secrets from the past refuse to stay buried, Powerful enemies circle and Family ties twist tighter than either of them expected, love might be their only way out.
But in a world ruled by money and control
Breaking the one rule might cost them everything.….

Chapter: Chapter 121: EpilogueAlex’s pov My office doesn’t look like mine anymore. Not that it will be mine much longer, today being the last day for me as the CEO. For ten years this space has been steel, glass, neutral tones and no hint of softness. Deals were made here. Enemies were dismantled here. I built an empire from this room. Today it looks like a dream someone else had. Definitely not mine. Interior decorators have turned it into something…..warmer. Soft amber lights hidden along the ceiling, white roses layered with deep green foliage with a string of quartet tucked into one corner, quietly tuning. Champagne chills in silver buckets and my was table is pushed back to make space. It feels like I’m standing inside a risk. Which shouldn’t be a problem because I live for risks……but this was different. My palms are damp as I adjusted my cufflinks for the fifth time in ten minutes and checked my watch even though I knew the time. I start to pace. Voices drift in and out as people arrive.

Chapter: Chapter 120Ethan’s pov“Of course I don’t, why is that a surprise?” William asks.“Well dad, you have always been set in your old ways. You did call Dominic a freak show when you found out he was gay and I thought that's why you never liked Alex." Helena reminds him.“I called him a freak show because he was gay and married to my only daughter while cheating on her with half the city. That was betrayal, not sexuality. And I never hated Alex, it was purely business”I heard nothing else they said because I was literally having a panic attack. I couldn't breathe and my body was getting hotter by the minute.“What about me?” I hear Lena ask. “Is Mr. Stallin my father too?”My mother laughs lightly. “Oh, sweetheart. No. You’re Havelock’s. Or one of the other men I was seeing back then, It's hard to keep track.”“Oh my God,” Lena groans and turns walking towards the dining area. “What a wonderful family we have.”“Ohhh don’t give me that face,” my mother continues, ignoring her, “This is a family reu

You came to my place drunk?” My mother digs through her bag bringing out another pack of cigarettes. “We didn’t use protection then, did we? I didn’t find out myself till I was three weeks gone.” “It was just the one time. You’re certain?”She shrugged. “The timing matched. You and I were together that whole month. Havelock was never faithful enough to count days properly. He didn’t question it. At least not at first.”“At first,” I echoed.“He started to doubt when you grew older,” she went on, as if narrating a family recipe. “You didn’t look like him or built like him. He would stare at you sometimes like you were a stain he couldn’t scrub out.”The memories slammed into me. His cold eyes, the way he would grip my chin too tight. The way he would say, “You’re not right,” like

After all that has happened, after I finally feel like I can breathe freely without bracing for impact, she chose to show her face.“Mum is here?” Lena asks, her voice filled with surprise. “Are you sure?”The staff member nods carefully. “That’s what she said, Miss.”“It can’t be her,” I say automatically. My throat feels dry. “She would never show her face after all these years. How would she even know I live here?”“She must have seen you in the news,” Lena says. “Oh, that must be it. You were everywhere and maybe she wants money now that you are living like royalty.”“I don’t want to see her.”Lena turns to me, her expression softening. “We need to see her. Let us at least hear her out.”“Come onLena. You can’t do this to yourself again, she is just as selfish as dad. There is nothing she can say I'm interested in hearing.” I turn to the staff. “Send her away.”“Wait

Chapter: Chapter 117Alex’s povI paused as his words hit me like a punch. “What are you talking about?”.William pauses and for a fraction of a second, he looks as though he has said too much. His gaze flickers toward my mother.“Mum,” I say sharply. “What is he talking about?” She looks nervous, an expression I haven’t seen on her face in years. “Mum!” “Alexander,” she says softly, stepping toward me, “I didn’t tell you because you loved him so much. You idolized him and after he died, you were shattered. I couldn’t bear to ruin his memory for you.” “Ruin what memory?” My voice rises. “What are you talking about?”“Your father wasn’t the saint you believe him to be,” William says bluntly. “He embezzled funds, retirement funds. Men who worked for him for decades were left with nothing because he siphoned money to cover reckless investments.”“That’s a lie,” I say immediately."It’s documented," William replies. “He made high risk acquisitions to hide the losses. When those failed, the company was near

I’m sure he mentioned that during one of your pillow talks.”Her lips twitch and she rolls her eyes as she steps forward anyway. Before I can brace for it, her arms are around me.“Oh, Alexander,” she murmurs, pulling back only to cup my face. “Do you enjoy frightening me? Guns? Warehouses? Blood? Is that how you prove you’re a man now?”She clucks under her breath, brushing her fingers over my cheek, my shoulder. “You think I carried you for nine months so you could throw yourself in front of bullets?”“I didn’t throw myself in front of anything,” I say stiffly.“You were almost killed,” she snaps. “That’s close enough.”Her hands tremble against my jaw. I let her fuss, let her smooth my collar and inspect the faint scar at my wrist. My relationship with her has been n

The nightmare always starts the same, a cruel loop in my mind but this time it doesn’t stop where it usually does. It keeps going.The dark forest comes next, darker than night and alive. The Creatures from before move between the trees, their bodies twisted, their screeches tearing through the air like blades. Vines slither along the ground and rise wrapping around my legs, my waist, my throat, dragging me back no matter how hard I fight. Their touch burns and freezes all at once, thorns biting into my skin as if the forest itself wants to claim me.I’m running and not moving at all.The ground drops away and the darkness dissolves, and suddenly I'm back in the rose field.But this time I'm surrounded by people instead.They stand around me, dozens of them, their faces turned toward me and their eyes warm with recognition.

I stand beneath the spray with my palms pressed flat to the wall, my jaw clenched, forcing myself to breathe through the knot tightening in my chest.I had almost fucked her and marked her right there on the desk in a freaking public library like a complete idiot. I almost killed her.That had never been the plan.I brought her there to talk, to understand what she told the Council and what she revealed under pressure, because no one walks into that chamber unchanged. Instead she panicked, her fear bleeding straight into my bones, and somewhere between trying to calm her and protect her, one thing had led to another.I had been thinking with my fucking dick.Even after I shut off the water and drag a towel over my skin, her scent clings to me stubbornly…….and the scent of he

I have even forgotten the threesome I was thinking about leaving my head wide open for the council to invade.Of course that thought was gone immediately I left their presence. Even Dean Elisha’s cold glare hadn’t brought a reaction from me.I stare right in front of me and all I can think is that I failed wolfly.I missed my last chance.I ruined everything.Across the courtyard, Kael leans against the fountain. The moment he sees me, he straightens and releases a sign of relief as if he thought I won’t make it out alive. I look back at the closed door and it dawns on me that my fate is sealed. They saw me in person. They should know I'm human, so why didn’t they agree? Why didn’t they just send me home?

Have they already gotten to him? Do they know what he did for me? Do they know about the forest, about the night everything went wrong?Kael draws in a deep breath, slow and forced, like he is trying to anchor himself. He lifts his head and our eyes meet. His eyes goes fron gold back to normal, then back to gold.It flickers a bit before it finally returns to normal. The look on his face is wrong. I have never seen it before.Is it fear?Every supernatural is taught to fear the Council from the moment they can understand words.

It’s the kind of smile meant to demean lesser beings and Ghost doesn't like it.Ghost bristles immediately, a low warning rumble curling through my spine, but I force him to stay still. Calm is survival in rooms like this and I don’t plan to provoke creatures who can erase my bloodline with a thought.Thallia closes the thick file in front of her with flourish and places her elbows on the stone table as she leans forward, her fingers tucked beneath her jaw.“I’m curious about you, Mr Blackthorn.”“What about?” I ask after a beat.She tilts her head, studying me. “You have been the perfect student since your first year. Rose through the ranks almost immediately and demonstrated exceptional control over your…….other self.

THIRTY DAYS of sin
“Tell me to stop,” I whispered, my lips brushing against the heated skin of his neck. “Tell me you don’t want this, and I’ll walk away right now.”
Everette’s breath hitched, his body trembling under my touch. “Raze… don’t—”
“Say you don’t miss me,” I murmured, my fingers slowly loosening his tie. “Say it, and I’ll go. No games.”
“Don’t… stop,” he breathed, eyes dark with conflicted desire.
I smiled against his throat. “That’s what I thought.”
……………………………………………………………………………………………………Everette Carrington betrayed Raze Schmidt—the only man he had ever loved….by pushing him out of the company they built together. Now, when that same company faces a devastating PR crisis, the board offers one shocking solution. A public partnership with his ex.
Betrayed, cast aside, and left heartbroken, Raze agrees to return with one calculated goal: thirty days to make Everette fall for him again… straight into his arms and into his trap.
But as buried family lies, hidden bloodlines, and deadly secrets begin to surface, Raze discovers that revenge might cost him the one thing he never expected to want again—Everette’s heart.

I roar, my voice trembling with a terrifying blend of fury and betrayal as I glare at my father. I’m practically hyperventilating. I haven’t even processed Jacque leaving me yet, now all that is in my mind is the sickening memory of Frank Calderman sliding his hotel room key and whispering his room number while caressing my knee. I couldn't believe it at first, but then my father's earlier words echoed in my head with…... *You two have a lot in common* And the l truth landed like a physical blow. Theodore Carrington didn't send me to close a tech integration deal; he deliberately sent his openly gay son to serve as eye candy for a predatory billionaire, knowing exactly what the man expected in return. I felled for his words again. My father doesn't even flinch at the sound of breaking glass, leaning back comfortably in his armchair without a single flicker of remorse

I push the heavy double doors open without knocking, a triumphant grin spreading across my face as I take in the sight of Theodore Carrington sitting behind his desk and his youthful fiancée sitting in his laps. "Look at that," I purr with sarcasm, stepping into the room. "The picture-perfect couple. How sweet, I think I might actually vomit.""Serena, you should really try getting onboard with this," my father says with a weary, irritated sigh, rubbing his temples as he looks up at me. "It’s getting a little tiring, don't you think?""Oh no, Theodore, please don't be harsh with her," Angela chimes in, putting on her absolute best innocent-saint routine as she glides around the room toward me.

Chapter: Chapter 11: Getting evidenceSerena’s pov“Oh my God, Malik.”I moan loudly as the wave of my impending climax builds in my core. My nails dig into the leather of the armchair, my legs held wide open by Malik while his face stays buried between my thighs, his broad hands gripping my hips to pull me tightly against his mouth. His skilled tongue strokes my clitoris with slick, rhythmic precision, swirling and lapping until every nerve ending in my body feels completely set on fire. I’m utterly helpless under the relentless work of his mouth, breathless and trembling as he drinks down every drop of my pleasure. "Yes, yes, right there, don't stop!" I chant like a woman possessed, my fingers tangling in his dark Afro hair, pulling him closer as the orgasm finally violently tears through me, sending intense, continuous spasms straight down my thighs as my head falls back against the cushion.“God, you’re incredibly good at that,” I breathe out as he finally pulls away, his wet lips giving my inner thigh one last li

"Just help me close this meeting tonight, Everette. Besides, I know you've been badgering me about finding a way to pivot a percentage of our energy yields into those little humanitarian ESG initiatives you're so obsessed with, and if we secure this field, we could actually fund one of those clean-water offset programs you keep pitching."I narrow my eyes at him, deeply suspicious of the sudden carrot he is dangling in front of my face. My father has as long as I can remember, loathed anything resembling humanitarian work or giving back to the community, having literally laughed in my face whenever I suggested selling off non-performing assets to help fund public infrastructure or whenever I snuck away to work on my personal pet projects, like funding soup kitch

I stare at the latest projections for another minute before closing my laptop with a quiet sigh. There comes a point where working late stops being productive and starts becoming avoidance, and judging by the knot between my shoulders, I crossed that line hours ago. The Carrington estate comes into view just as the sun disappears beneath the horizon. Every light inside the mansion burns warmly against the evening sky, making the place look less like a home and more like a museum.

The fake engagement with Raze is getting way too much publicity that I want. "I need your brain, Brainiac."

THE ALPHA who was meant to kill me
“I tried to kill you the first day I saw you.
I told myself it was mercy. That livestock shouldn’t carry a predator’s mark.
Then you looked at me with those eyes, and my wolf refused to obey.
You think you’re being watched? You are.
Not because I want you dead anymore… but because if anyone else tries, I will end them.”
……………………
Alpha Xander Nightfall was never meant to have a human mate. Especially not a male one.
A mistake he plans to eliminate with a bullet.
Noah Bennett has never questioned his straight, ordinary life. Until the night a masked man with gold eyes presses him against his own wall and makes him crave things he cannot confess out loud. He wakes alone, aching, ashamed… and desperate for it to happen again.
Xander tells himself he is studying his target.
He tells himself the touches are nothing and the hunger is temporary.
Yet every time Noah trembles beneath his hands, the wolf inside him marks, claims, protects.
And the more he claims, the more impossible the truth becomes.
Because the human he plans to eliminate might not be human at all.
And what he is……………….might start a supernatural war.

Noah is weak, naïve, painfully oblivious, and altogether too trusting for his own survival, but what happened inside that office crossed a line even I recognize. Wolves kill for territory. Rogues kill for pleasure. We do not stab our own friends in the back with smiles and fake tears.And a blow job.At least... honorable wolves don't.I glance at my watch beneath my sleeve before looking back toward the building.

I told the council he won’t listen. This was a complete waste of my time and I’m done giving the man chances or calling him family when he had never been one.

Gone is the poised, breathtaking woman. In her place stands a trembling mess of a person. Her eyes are red and dark mascara runs jagged lines down her tear-stricken face. She looks completely devastated and utterly heartbroken, her shoulders quivering as if she can barely keep herself upright under the weight of some unspeakable trauma."Mara, what is happening?

As I take a munch of the warm bread, a wave of lingering disbelief washes over me, because deep down, I still can't entirely process the fact that the best thing to ever happen in my life actually took place in a hotel room."Classy Mara?
