FUERA DE LÍMITES: Reclamada por el padrastro de mi exprometi
«Joder, estás tan apretada para mí», gruñó Ryder contra mi oído, embistiendo con fuerza. Su profunda estocada me hizo arquear la espalda sobre la cama. Jadeé, clavándole las uñas en los hombros mientras me llenaba por completo.
«Más fuerte… por favor…»
Me inmovilizó las muñecas por encima de la cabeza con una mano y me agarró la cadera con la otra, lo suficientemente fuerte para dejar moretones.
«¿Quieres que sea brusco, nena? Suplícamelo bien».
Temblando de deseo, las palabras escaparon de mis labios:
«Por favor… Papi… fóllame más fuerte».
Un gruñido oscuro y satisfecho vibró en su pecho. Mordió mi cuello y susurró con voz sucia:
«Buena chica. Córrete sobre la polla de Papi. Muéstrame cuánto lo necesitas».

El día de mi boda descubrí a mi prometido Dylan Voss follándose a mi hermanastra Helene. Destrozada y humillada, abandoné el altar. Ryder Hawthorne, el poderoso y despiadado padrastro de Dylan, me encontró. Me llevó a su ático y, entre rabia y deseo, lo seduje. Nos follamos con violencia, como en una guerra. Cuando Dylan entró y me vio cabalgándolo, se sintió traicionado y se marchó furioso. Yo me sentí vengada. Se suponía que sería solo una noche.
Pero la vida me jugó una mala pasada. Para pagar las facturas médicas de mi abuela moribunda, acepté un trabajo en Hawthorne Prosperity Group… sin saber que Ryder era mi nuevo jefe. Un encuentro prohibido y salvaje en su oficina bastó para que me propusiera ser su puta personal a cambio de cubrir todos los gastos de mi abuela. Sin opciones, acepté.
Lo que empezó como venganza se convirtió en obsesión. Dylan quiere recuperarme, pero Ryder se niega a soltarme. Ahora estoy atrapada entre la venganza y una rendición peligrosa y adictiva.

Chapter: 120: ¡Dylan, di que sí!FreyaObservé todo el circo desde un lado del salón de baile, con los brazos cruzados y una pequeña sonrisa fría jugando en mis labios.Helene realmente acababa de arrodillarse delante de todos y le había propuesto matrimonio a Dylan como si esto fuera una puta película romántica. El discurso dramático, las lágrimas en su voz, el anillo gigante: lo dio todo. La multitud se lo estaba comiendo, aplaudiendo y animando como si acabara de anunciar la paz mundial.Patético.Incliné ligeramente la cabeza, estudiando la cara de Dylan. Parecía aturdido. Incómodo. Como un ciervo atrapado en los faros. El pobre no sabía si sonreír o salir corriendo.‘Mírala,’ pensé, divertida. ‘Todavía esforzándose tanto por aferrarse a él. Todavía pensando que lucir un anillo y un discurso de amor falso va a arreglarlo todo.’Hace dos semanas y media se arrastraba por el suelo llamándose a sí misma un perro inútil y humillándose. Ahora está en el escenario intentando interpretar a la prometida perfecta delante

Chapter: 119: Dylan Voss… ¿quieres casarte conmigo?HeleneDespués del caos de los paparazzi afuera, finalmente entramos en el gran salón de baile y la vista me golpeó con fuerza. El lugar se veía de locos: enormes candelabros goteando cristales, una suave iluminación dorada, elegantes mesas redondas cubiertas con decoración negra y dorada. Los antiguos compañeros de clase estaban por todas partes, vestidos para impresionar, riéndose, tomándose selfies y poniéndose al día como si los últimos años nunca hubieran pasado.Por un segundo, se sintió bien. Como en los viejos tiempos.Me mantuve cerca de Dylan, sonriendo educadamente mientras la gente me saludaba. Algunos estaban genuinamente sorprendidos de cómo me veía ahora. Otros claramente estaban buscando información. Mantuve mis respuestas cortas y calmadas.Pero podía sentir las miradas desviándose todo el tiempo.Las de Dylan. No estaban en mí. Estaban en Freya.No podía dejar de mirarla. Incluso mientras caminábamos entre la multitud, su mirada la seguía como un maldito imán. Inclus

Chapter: 118: ¡¿La Voiture Noire?!FreyaEl Bugatti La Voiture Noire ronroneaba como un depredador satisfecho al detenerse en la alfombra roja. Solo el sonido hizo que las cabezas se giraran. Bien. Esa era exactamente la reacción que quería.Esperé un segundo, dejando que el momento se construyera, antes de que el guardia abriera mi puerta. Bajé lentamente, el aire fresco de la noche rozando mi piel. El vestido me abrazaba a la perfección. Las cámaras destellaban como locas. Jadeos y susurros se extendieron por la multitud como un incendio.Que miren.Zoey bajó justo detrás de mí, luciendo tan imperturbable y letal como yo me sentía. Sonrió de medio lado y se inclinó cerca. “Ya están perdiendo la cabeza. Esto va a ser divertido.”Sonreí, calmada por fuera, pero por dentro la sangre me zumbaba con una satisfacción oscura.Dos semanas y media.Dos semanas y media desde que hice que Helene se arrastrara por el suelo y se llamara a sí misma un perro inútil delante de todos. ¿Y esta noche?

Chapter: 117: ¿Freya llegó en un puto Bugatti La Voiture Noire?HeleneDos semanas y media.Dos putas semanas y media desde aquella pesadilla en Vellmont Galleria, y la humillación seguía clavada en mi pecho como un cuchillo que no salía. Cada vez que cerraba los ojos, me veía a mí misma arrastrándome por aquel suelo de mármol frío, la frente sangrando, llamándome a mí misma basura apestosa e inútil delante de todos. La herida de mi frente había sanado en una cicatriz fea, pero el daño real era más profundo. Sentía como si Freya me hubiera clavado una daga directo al corazón y la hubiera girado. Esa herida se negaba a cerrarse. Y no lo haría, no hasta que finalmente la destruyera.Esta noche era esa noche.Miraba mi reflejo en el espejo del coche, aplicando aún más corrector. La cicatriz todavía se veía irregular si te fijabas demasiado. Sin todo este maquillaje, la gente se habría reído de lo jodida que tenía la cara ahora. Suavicé todo una última vez y forcé una sonrisa. Se veía lo bastante real.Todo estaría bien. Esta noche era la Gran Reunión

Chapter: 116: La destruiré otra vez.Helene.Han pasado dos días desde que estoy en casa de Dylan.El pecho se me retorció dolorosamente al recordar aquel día.Me quedé de rodillas mucho después de que Freya y Zoey se hubieran ido, su risa todavía resonando en mis oídos como veneno. Toda la sección de joyería se había convertido en mi infierno personal. La gente seguía mirando. Algunos susurraban. Otros grababan en secreto.La frente me latía violentamente. Cada latido enviaba un pulso agudo de dolor a través del bulto hinchado y el corte en la piel. Podía sentir la sangre secándose en mi cara. Mi belleza… lo único de lo que siempre había estado orgullosa… estaba arruinada.No podía ir a casa así. No luciendo como un desastre golpeado y roto. No cuando mi madre podría verme y darse cuenta de lo completamente que Freya me había destruido. Mi padre se enfadaría porque había gastado tanto dinero incluso cuando no había conseguido ningún trabajo de modelo recientemente, y con toda la mierda que había pasado, no estaba lista

Escupe las palabras, Lila."La rabia hirvió violentamente en mis venas. Mis manos se cerraron en puños contra el suelo. ¿Cómo se atrevía a hablarme así? ¿Después de todo?Las palabras salieron de mi boca antes de que pudiera detenerlas."Cállate, perra."¡Crack!Una bofetada aguda y ardiente me golpeó la cara.La cabeza se me giró hacia un lado.

Off Limit: Claimed By My Ex-fiance's Step-dad
"Fuck, you're so tight for me," Ryder growled against my ear, his hips slamming forward in a deep, punishing thrust that made my back arch off the bed.
I gasped, nails digging into his shoulders as he filled me completely, stretching me. "Harder... please..."
He pinned my wrists above my head with one large hand, the other gripping my hip hard enough to bruise. "You want it rough, baby? Then beg for it properly."
My body trembled under him, slick and desperate. The words spilled out before I could stop them. "Please... Daddy... fuck me harder."
A dark, satisfied rumble vibrated through his chest. He leaned down, teeth grazing my neck, voice low and filthy. "Good girl. Come all over Daddy's cock. Show me how much you need this.”

On my wedding day, I caught my fiancé Dylan Voss and my step-sister Helene fucking each other in a room.
Heartbroken and humiliated, I walked away from the altar. That's when Ryder Hawthorne—Dylan's powerful, ruthless stepfather—found me. He carried me to his penthouse, and in a haze of rage and need, I seduced him. We fucked like it was war: rough, and desperate. When Dylan walked in and saw me riding his stepdad—he felt betrayed and stormed out. I felt satisfied and vindicated. It was supposed to be one night. We were never supposed to see each other again.
Until I desperately took a job at Hawthorne Prosperity Group to save my dying grandmother…and discovered Ryder was my new boss. One rough, forbidden encounter in his office, and he offered me to be his personal slut, in return he'd pay Gran's bills. I had no choice and accepted.
Payback became obsession. My ex wants me back, but Ryder refuses to let go. Now I’m caught between revenge and surrender.

Chapter: EpilogueSix months later The Santorini sunset wrapped the sky in fiery orange and soft pink as I stood on the balcony of our villa, the same one where Ryder had once torn my wedding dress off me in a haze of hunger. A light breeze tugged at the hem of my sundress, and I rested both hands over the gentle swell of my belly, feeling the faint flutter of movement beneath my palms. Everything is going smoother than I expected. Ryder has successfully overcome his trauma. He can stare at his mom's picture without going crazy over it. He tried and learned everything for my sake and I'm glad he's fine now. He has also reunited with Varkars fully. Everyone is fully happy now. Zoey is also 2 months pregnant too with Lincoln's child and Jesus, you should see how Alaric, Claudia and Aunt Zina almost turned the city upside down when they found out I and Zoey are expecting a child. What I'm happy about the most right now is that everyone is united. No one is keeping enmity with each other. Even my ex, D

Chapter: Bonus Chapter~~~Freya~~~The celebration stretched long into the night, but the moment Ryder’s hand slid down my back and squeezed my ass possessively in front of everyone, I knew the real night was only beginning. We slipped away after one last round of toasts. The private helicopter ride to our honeymoon suite in Santorini was quiet, mostly because Ryder couldn’t keep his mouth off my neck the entire flight.By the time we reached the luxurious cliffside hotel, my body was already humming with need.The elevator doors had barely closed before he was on me.Ryder pushed me against the mirrored wall, his mouth crashing down on mine in a hungry, devouring kiss. One large hand gripped my jaw, tilting my head exactly how he wanted while the other bunched the delicate white fabric of my wedding gown up my thigh. I gasped into his mouth as his fingers dug into my skin.“Ryder—” I laughed breathlessly between kisses, “what if there’s CCTV in here?”He pulled back just enough for me to see the wicked, lu

Chapter: 196: The Wedding – A New Beginning~~~Freya~~~It’s been two weeks since everything changed, and today is my wedding day. I still can’t believe this is real. I’ve pinched myself so many times my arm is probably bruised, but every time I open my eyes, Ryder is still here, and this dream hasn’t dissolved. The Varkars had gone all out. Claudia and Zoey’s mom left no stone unturned — she orchestrated everything with military precision and flawless taste. The entire private beach had been transformed into something magical yet elegant. Everything was pristine: crisp white chairs lined perfectly on the golden sand, delicate white flowers cascaded along the aisle, and soft silk drapes fluttered gently in the sea breeze. Crystal chandeliers hung from wooden arches, and fairy lights were already twinkling in anticipation of the evening. If you asked me, this would easily be the loudest, most talked-about wedding Emeraldas had ever seen. Celebrities, powerful business associates, and the entire Varkar family filled the seats, t

I fucking knew it.The second my eyes landed on that portrait of her, the woman who ruined and traumatised my childhood,everything came crashing back. The screaming. The blood. The sound of my father begging on his knees. I didn’t want to come to this goddamn memorial. I hate this place. I hate this family. But Freya asked me to. She genuinely wanted me to try and reunite with Alaric and the rest of the Varkars, even though there’s nothing sweet about any of this fucked-up bloodline.I didn’t want to hurt my bunny. So I came.And now I’m paying for it.I thought maybe after all these years I could handle seeing her face without losing my shit. But the trauma never left. It’s still killing me from the inside.A low, bitter chuckle slipped out of me as I sat in the dim room, head thrown back. The worst part? Freya’s probably going to see me as the monster I really am now. She’ll finally run. And honestly? It’d be better for her. At least she’d be s

My heart raced in my chest as tears blurred my vision. “What’s going on?!” I cried out, voice cracking. “Somebody please explain to me! What the hell is happening to him?!”Ryder kept clutching his head, bending forward with a low groan. His breathing was heavy and ragged, like he was fighting for control and losing. He tried — I could see him trying so hard — but whatever was happening inside him was stronger. He suddenly turned and stormed out of the memorial hall without another word, shoulders tight, steps heavy.“Ryder, wait!” I shouted, rushing after him.He pushed open a side door and shut it behind him with a loud click. I reached for the handle, but a gentle yet firm hand grabbed my arm.It was Nanny Grace worried face i met.“Don’t follow him, dear,” she said softly but urgently. “He needs some time alone right now.

How Ellie found out the truth years later, and how they made her bedridden to shut her up. How they eventually killed her too. The court dragged them both in, and with Ryder’s power and influence all over the city, it didn’t even take long. Elaine and Samantha were both sentenced to death. They got hanged, stripped of every damn thing they owned, and buried like the trash they were.Helene and Vivian? Left on the streets like beggars.

Broken but not defeated, Zendaya signs the divorce papers and vows never to love the same way again.
Fate, however, has other plans.

Devour me, Logan: Ravaged By My Boyfriend's God-father
How the fuck am I supposed to tell my boyfriend that I let his godfather eat me raw on the night of our engagement party?
Like… how do you even start that conversation?
“Hey babe, remember when we got engaged? While you were outside cutting the cake, I was bent over in a hotel room getting wrecked by your godfather.”
Okay, this is absolute bullshit.
Yea. My life is a complete shitshow right now.
You must be wondering how everything got so shitty right?
It happened so fast. One minute Logan and I were trapped in that room during the engagement party. The next, my back was slammed against the wall, my dress shoved up, and his thick cock was buried deep inside me. And the worst part? I fucking loved it. It felt so wrong… and so good.
That night changed everything. Logan Draegor swore he’d have me, and my body betrayed me because some sick part of me wanted him too.
Logan is walking danger. When he enters a room, the air gets sucked out. Grownmen tremble. He crushes people, ruins lives, and takes whatever he wants. No sane woman should crave him. But I did.
I spent days drowning in guilt, thinking I was betraying my sweet, loyal, Sebastian… until I found out the truth. He never loved me. He was just playing me, planning to dump me on our wedding day.
The guilt disappeared after that.
I didn’t want Sebastian anymore. I didn’t want Logan either. But when the debt collectors showed up threatening to take our house, I had no choice. I went to Logan.
Now I belong to him.
And now his cunning cousin, Kai Draegor, wants me too.
I’m trapped between two powerful, dangerous men.
Fuck. I’m screwed.

The doors closed.The ride down was quiet except for the low hum of the elevator and the faint crackle of burning tobacco.I had been in the middle of something good.My little moon had been on my lap less than two hours ago, sharp-tongued and flushed and trying so hard to pretend she didn’t like the way I looked at her.

Grown men. Hard men. People who handled multi-million contracts and dock workers without blinking. Right now none of them could meet my eyes.The air felt thick, almost heavy enough to choke on. No one spoke. No one shifted. The only sounds were the low drone of the air conditioning and the faint, uneven breathing of twenty-something men trying not to draw attention to themselves.Sweat already shone at their temples. A few had damp patches spreading under their collars. One of the older managers kept swallowing like his throat had gone dry. Another’s hands were clenched so tightly on the armrests that his knuckles had turned bone-white. Across from me, a younger supervisor’s leg was bouncing uncontrollably under the table; he kept trying to still it and failing.They all looked like
