The Affair Revenge My Bestfriend's Husband Offered Me
“It’s still her.” Three words.
That was all it took for the carefully constructed world of my last five years to shatter into dust at my feet.
Zane didn’t even have the decency to look away as he said it. For twenty years, I had been the third wheel. The reliable shadow to Jovienne’s brilliant sun.
I had buried my own feelings for Zane so deep I almost forgot they existed, only daring to dig them up and confess them after Jovi had left the country and broken his heart. We built a life. A marriage. I truly believed, in my foolish, hopeful heart, that it was my happy ending.
Now Jovienne was back, and the illusion was gone. The love of my life saw me only as a consolation prize.
As my world collapses, the last person I expect comfort from is her husband—a man as cold and polished as he is powerful.
Vance sees the same betrayal in my eyes that he sees in his wife's. Leaning in, his voice a dangerous whisper, he proposed the unthinkable: "They are living in the past. Let's be each other's revenge. What do you say, Nerissa?"
I should avoid at all costs. It was a game that could burn our broken worlds to the ground. But as I looked into his eyes and saw the same raw, humiliating betrayal reflected back at me, the answer poised on my lips wasn't "no."
It was a terrifying, thrilling question.
“What,” I whispered, my voice steadier than I felt, “did you have in mind?”

The city lights flickered behind her.She breathed out. A long, slow exhale. Her shoulders dropped."Do you know how crazy your question sounds after all of this, Mr. Blackwood?"He said nothing. His chest was still heaving from the run. His heart was still pounding."No," she said. "I will not go with you. Certainly not."He slumped. His shoulders fell. He had predicted it. He had known what she would say. But hearing it still hurt. Still cut.

He was not supposed to be here. He had no official reason. But he had come anyway.He saw her from a distance.She was sitting in her cubicle, her back to the aisle, her focus on the screen. Her hair was pulled back. Her shoulders were straight. She looked smaller here, somehow. Diminished. The small stone from the lake sat beside her monitor. He recognized it immediately.He stopped.

The Second Lead Us - Let's Destroy Their Love
Yerin had always been a cold and self-centered woman, preferring to keep her distance from others. She believed emotions were a trap, something she could easily avoid. Her life was structured, predictable, and safe from the chaos of human entanglements. However, all this began to change when Elliot, her first love from high school, appeared at her workplace.
Twelve years prior, Yerin had been a silent observer, watching Elliot from the shadows, captivated by his charm and warmth. She yearned for more than just friendship, but her timid nature kept her from expressing her feelings. Instead, she treasured the moments they shared as friends and buried her hopes deep within her heart.
The unexpected reunion with Elliot stirred emotions Yue thought she had long buried. Their friendship rekindled, and Yerin found herself hoping once again for something beyond friendship. However, her hopes were dashed by the appearance of Hazel, Elliot's ex-girlfriend. Hazel and Elliot had a tumultuous yet enduring romance since college, a cycle of breaking up and reuniting that seemed unbreakable even after 7 years.
Yerin realized she was on the outside looking in, and it seemed impossible for her to enter Elliot's heart when Hazel occupied such a significant space in it.
Jayden, a handsome and charming man who was also Hazel's childhood friend suddenly approach her. With his keen perception, quickly caught on to Yue's secret, long-lasting crush on Elliot.
Then, with a perceptiveness that caught her off guard, he quietly remarked, "I noticed the way you look at Elliot. You care about him a lot, don't you?"
He offered a surprising proposition: for Yue to join him in becoming a third wheel in Hazel and Elliot's relationship.

And then her fingers brushed against a small, leather-bound journal.She had bought it years ago, intending to use it for work notes. But instead, she had written in it only once.The night before Elliot transferred to her department.Yerin sat back on her couch, the journal in her hands. She hadn't looked at it since that night.

Bound to The Enemy of My Mate
She belongs to a wolf. She's married to the hunter.
To the world, Elira Malven is the villainess who stole a princess's betrothed. But her gilded marriage to the legendary war hero, Kael Rennar, is a cage, and her husband has a deadly secret: he is a Wolfhunter, the sworn enemy of her kind.
“Why?” The word was a crack in her composure. “Why did you push for this marriage? What do you want from me?”
He didn’t turn. A faint, hollow smile touched his lips.
“I don’t know why I insisted,” his voice was barely a breath. “I don’t know why I didn’t kill you the moment I suspected what you are.”
Her only hope seems to lie with Thane, her true mate, whose touch awakens a primal bond in a dusty library. But he is the one who shattered her heart.
“Then why leave?” she asked, raw and painful. “After I begged you—”
“Because I was protecting you!” The words tore from him. “You were nobility. The Wolfkiller's wife. And I— I was nobody.”
Torn between a hunter haunted by his mercy and a mate haunted by his sacrifice, Elira must choose: remain in a marriage built on a tragic mystery, or risk a love that demands a price neither of them may survive.

The waiting. The secret that sat in the middle of everything like a stone in a stream, changing the flow of every conversation.Kael felt it most of all.He went through his days mechanically.

I stood in the vast, minimalist dining room, feeling like a misplaced, breathing exhibit.Chairman Thorne sat at the head of a long, obsidian table that could easily seat twenty. He did not rise when I was shown in. He merely gestured with a slow, deliberate hand to the single place setting directly to his right. The distance between us felt both intimate and infinite.“Ms. Sharpe,” he said by way of greeting.
