ActionSteamyDark RomanceMafiaRuthlessProtectiveContract MarriageInstant BillionaireSecond Chance
*If you start this obsession… you won’t escape it either.* Eva Voss was never supposed to fall in love with Adrian Moretti. He was Terror and Danger itself, leader of the gangs and the kind of man who didn’t ask twice. For three years, she belonged to him in secret as his lover. In exchange, he saved her mother’s life. And Eva… gave him everything, her time, her body and eventually… her heart. But the contract ends, and the moment it did, Adrian Moretti ended her too. He discarded her like she had never meant anything. And when she came to tell him she was carrying his children… She found him in bed with the same woman who had tried to destroy her. Broken and used, Eva disappeared for three years. She’s no longer the girl who waited for him, she is a mother. Until Adrian Moretti walks back into her life. At her movie premiere. Watching her like she still belongs to him. Now he wants her back. But Eva is no longer the woman he broke. She has dangerous secrets now and a past she buried deep enough to survive. So when he comes closer…the only question left is Will she run again, or finally make the man who destroyed her, pay for everything he took?

Chapter: 82. The long waits and secrets
Chapter 82Adrian's PovI sank into one of the waiting room chairs. For exactly three seconds. Then stood up.Marcus sighed. "You're making everybody nervous." Good. They should be nervous, because right now I felt murderous.A young resident accidentally made eye contact with me before immediately looking away.The waiting was unbearable. Minutes stretched too long and then it became an hour, and then three hours. I sat still waiting.Every time I spent waiting for her felt like punishment. It was preferable getting hit than waiting. I checked my watch and my phone. I also checked the door and repeated the process until I thought I might lose my mind.And then finally… the door opened.A doctor stepped out.Everything inside me stopped. I was moving before I realized it. My hand grabbed the front of his coat hard. The poor bastard nearly stumbled backward."Boss," Marcus warned quietly.I didn't care."How is she?"The doctor froze. His eyes widened slightly from fear. I didn't mind

Chapter: 81: The ICU ... Feelings
Chapter 81Adrian's PovThe elevator doors opened and the ICU hallway stretched before me. It was long, the usual white and sterile colour, and I could only wonder when the hospital would start painting its corridors black.The smell of antiseptic burned my nose. There were fluorescent lights here too, they hummed overhead and were too bright and cold. Maybe it was my guilt or fear. I couldn't tell anymore.I kept walking when I paused and retraced my steps backwards. Marcus, who was beside me, looked around with confusion. He walked back with me, his shoes clicked against the tile floor."Boss, what's wrong?" His voice came behind me. I didn't give a response and kept walking.And then we got to the spot. There was a picture on the wall. A very familiar image, but I couldn't remember taking a picture like that at this age here. In a white flowing hospital gown. There was the caption."Get your facial reconstruction here. Safe for kids as low as thirteen." My hands shook with terror a

Chapter: 80. Finding Volkov in the Basement...
Chapter 80Adrian's PovI didn't believe him. Of course I didn't believe it. I couldn't even bring myself to believe. How could I? This was another ploy to distract me. They've won and Eva is now in the hospital. Volkov has been the mastermind behind this and I let myself believe him. Not anymore.The man gasped for air like a drowning man. His chest heaved. His face was red and purple and wet.Then he tilted his head. His good eye gleamed in the dim light. His tongue came out, licked the blood from his lips."How does it feel to know you've been fucking your wife's sister?"The words hung in the air like smoke.I didn't move or blink. I just stared at the mentally unwell man before me."How does it feel to know that every time you kissed her, you were kissing the woman who hates you? Every time you touched her, you were touching the woman who wanted you dead?"He laughed again, it was high and crazy. The laugh of someone who had nothing left to lose. I let him laugh. My men were work

Chapter: 79. Mafia Lord... Don't mess with her.
Chapter 79Adrian's PovI walked towards the basement, with Marcus following behind me closely and subtly. Not daring to say a word. I was very livid and hadn't felt this way before. A huge frown on my face as I marched towards the basement. The hallway was cold enough that I could see my own breath.But it looked eerily quiet and untouched. I turned to look at Marcus."Are you sure this is the right spot?" He nodded his head."Yes Boss." The hospital was famous for having so many and different basements. We walked further and deeper, the concrete walls in this part dripped with moisture and the fluorescent lights buzzed like dying insects, flickering in and out, casting shadows that danced on the floor.I didn't pay attention to them. This was my life. I've always loved it this way. And then we arrived at a spot with three different underground paths.Marcus nodded and led the way, taking the right path. His hand rested near his weapon.We walked for three more minutes when we finall

Chapter: 78. Someone would die today.
Chapter 78Adrian's PovI opened my eyes and I detested the first sound I heard. It was the usual sound of machines beeping steadily in the background.I knew where I was and didn't want to be here, but I couldn't help myself. I couldn't even move my body. The sound dragged me upward through thick darkness and pain shot through me.There was a brutal pounding behind my eyes and it felt like fire was crawling through my veins, my throat burned from thirst. My neck ached like somebody had driven a knife into it.I groaned quietly and forced my eyes open, the dim light blurred above me. I tried to move and immediately felt something sharp pull near my arm. It was a bandage, my breathing roughened, the fragments returned as I remembered what had happened earlier. The maternity ward and everything.“Fuck…” I muttered, eyes still fixed on the ground. How could I let something like that happen?My voice sounded wrecked and really dry. I had let down my guard.I pushed myself upright in the c

Chapter: 77. Elliots Regards
Chapter 77Adrian's PovThe hospital entrance slid open with a mechanical hiss as Marcus and I stormed inside.And immediately, I could feel the energy of the place, something was wrong, something felt wrong and the place was eerily quiet, even the lobby was nearly empty now. Only one receptionist remained behind the desk.Even she looked nervous, like she sensed something ugly lingering in the building.Marcus rested a hand near his concealed weapon."Which floor?"I checked the photo again.It was a maternity ward, on the fourth floor. We walked towards the elevator and the ride felt endless and then we heard the sound of a very soft humming."Boss. Do you think it's safe leaving Eva in the vehicle? What if she's the real one and something happens to her, this can be a distraction you know." I was quiet for a while. Very quiet, considering all he had said."She will be fine." I said, even though my heart wasn't sure she would be fine and didn't agree with me.And then the humming ca

Chapter: Dear-exhusband... Last chance.
Daniel’s POV“Take this and leave." A frown was etched on my face as I pulled my car into the parking lot of the motel that had housed me for the past week.The woman I picked at the club hurried to put on her clothes. I had lost interest in almost everything. It's been three years since I tossed Evelyn out into the rain, and every single night since then has felt like a slow crawl through hell. I should have stayed with her. I leaned my head tiredly on the steering wheel and got lost in thoughts. It was now a routine for me. The company was losing money at an alarming rate. My trusted board members were now circling like vultures. They sensed the weakness and there was nothing I could do, they all needed money. I missed Evelyn, not the sturdy worker my mother had mocked, but the woman who had stayed up nights to save my company without asking for a single word of praise. Sophie didn't care about the legacy or my consent. She only cared about the credit cards and what it could g

Chapter: I'm Back, Dear Ex-husband
Evelyn’s POVThree years later.I heaved a sigh as I adjusted my blazer before looking through my office window. My shoulders relaxed as I gulped down a bottle of water, my mind reminiscing about the events of the past years. Who would have thought the woman who was once scorned would turn out to be a successful businesswoman that even the men topping the charts bowed to?It's mainly in novels that the woman who once hung on every word of her ex-husband would stand independently on her own in a short time. The past couple of years were tough, but slowly and steadily, I made it through it all with the help of Alex, my very own savior. There was something I never talked about, my body had changed. I didn’t get sick anymore, I barely slept, but never felt tired and my hearing was extremely strong. Doctors called it “adrenal adaptation.” I stopped asking questions. For two years, I've had dreams of running through a particular forest barefoot and very fast and it was always peaceful

Evelyn’s POVA baby.The one thing Beatrice had screamed at me about for forty-eight months, and the one thing Daniel had used as a cold weapon to distance himself from my bed. He wasn't sterile. He just hadn't wanted a child with me."A baby?" I choked out, the word bitter in my mouth.Sophie smiled sweetly as she smoothed her hand over her perfectly flat stomach.“A Pierce heir, Evelyn. Something a woman built like a linebacker could never provide for a man like Daniel."Laughter erupted around me, making the ache in my heart increase. I dared to look at the crowd and met eyes with some of Daniel’s board members. The very people I had saved from a business crisis were laughing as if it was the funniest thing they had ever heard. I looked from one cruel face to the other, but even then, I swallowed my shame and turned back to Daniel, who was also laughing."Daniel, please," I sobbed, dropping to my knees. I didn't care about my pride anymore. The seventy-two hours of work, the ex

Chapter: Well...When you don't pay attention to a cheating man.
Evelyn’s POVAs I tearfully watched Daniel walk away, I knew there was nothing I could do. Ignoring my aching joints, I gently climbed the stairs and headed to our room, all the while ignoring Beatrice’s mocking gaze.For the four years of my marriage to Daniel, I have tried everything I could to be a good daughter-in-law to Beatrice, but the harder I tried to please her, the more her hate for me increased. Still, the love I had for Daniel kept me going.When I got to the room, I didn’t dare to shower, fearing I would waste more time and then offend Daniel again. The moment the door shut behind me, everything became silent and suddenly loud. I could hear the music downstairs, glasses clinking everything. My breath hitched, why could I hear everything? And soon it stopped again. I walked to my closet and pulled out the elegant black lace dress I had kept specially for this occasion. As my hands moved over the dress, a small smile crept onto my face.“Everything is going to be fine

Chapter: The symptoms
Evelyn’s POVThe constant beep of the monitor slowly drew me to consciousness. I tried to open my eyes, but winced at the brightness in the room.The muscle in my back and shoulders ached with a deep, throbbing pain that made it almost impossible to move. I shifted and a sting flared across my collarbone. I frowned and touched it, it had three thin scratches and I was bleeding from it. I couldn't remember getting hurt. When I opened my eyes, a nurse was hovered over me. My mind was blank for a moment before memories flooded back in. For seventy-two hours, I had been hunched over crisis and negotiation tables, fighting off the sharks trying to swallow Daniel’s company whole. I had won the war, but my body had finally paid the price. Daniel, my husband, had pushed me beyond my limit, even after I complained a few times about feeling lightheaded.“You’re awake,” I heard her say, but her voice was strangely loud and the voices of patients filled my head.

I shot him a stare, my eyes filled with a mixture of fear and defiance."Take this," he said, handing Dove the bag, while I whimpered, staring at them, my body trembling."You don't want to do this," he said, his voice laced with a threatening undertone, as he walked towards me, and I instinctively moved backward, my heart pounding in my chest."And where do you think you're going?" one of Dove's men asked, his voice dripping with malice and amusement."You talk too much. We need to end you," he said, a cruel grin spreading across his face, as I found myself apologizing profusely, my voice quivering with fear. But then, unexpectedly, they burst into laughter."Got you again," they said, their laughter echoing through the air, as I heaved a sigh of relief, wiping the tears from my eyes."Yeah, you did, and it isn't funny," I said, my voice still shaky, trying to regain my composure."Don't tell me you were crying, bro," they said to me, their tone tea

I continued, gesturing with my hands, but he remained silent, his gaze fixed on me."You love me, don't you?" he finally asked, his tone questioning, as I turned to leave, feeling the weight of embarrassment overwhelming me. I nodded, unable to find the words."I do, I do love you," I managed to say, my emotions impossible to conceal, as a small smile formed on his lips."But what about your mate? You need to work on your feelings," he replied curtly, turning to leave, and I couldn't believe it."What?" I blurted out, looking around the empty hallway, my embarrassment intensifying."Did I just confess my feelings and get this as a reply?" I murmured, unable to comprehend what had just transpired."Oh no," I whispered, realizing I had gotten myself into trouble.Facing him again seemed impossi

Chapter: WISE DISASTER
AURELIA My eyes flung open at the whispers and footsteps in the background. But I felt heavy to get up, I felt like I had slept for days as I weakly stared at the Dregs, rearranging the room. Dregs were the lowest set in the pack , found in the Northern Kingdom after the thralls and chainborns who no longer exist after being exiled. They were the lowest of the low , and couldn't speak or look at the eyes of royals, so it was humiliating to be served by them, since they are servants of the omegas and gammas. Slowly, I got up and stared at them, and as always, they immediately averted their gaze and continued with their duty. I beckoned on the girl with messy blonde hair, but she didn't move. “You won’t die,” I whispered, but she hesitated. My phone wasn’t by my bedside, and I couldn’t remember what had happened last night. How did I fall asleep? Didn’t Ariston’s antidote work to clear the herb? My last memory was pretending to pass out as the Betas led me away. But her

Chapter: TWIST (TWIN SWAP)
AURELIA I looked around the small apartment Ariston brought me to. It was very quiet and plain. There were no triggering scents or anything to stir Xena and wake her. Ariston prioritized my safety. Nothing here felt like the pack house, but I didn't care. Not now. The warm woods, and thick carpets didn't matter to me. I preferred this peaceful, clean, modern place. I still wasn’t fully processing everything Ariston had told me. My head was too full and too empty at the same time. I needed to find the second wolf to save myself… but I didn’t even know where to start. If Aiden was the only man I had ever been with… then it had to be him. The moment the thought came, doubt crept in. If Aiden was truly an unbound wolf, then Tania wouldn’t be able to carry his child. His seed would be too strong for a regular werewolf, unless he wasn't the second wolf I needed to find. But the more I thought about it, Aiden has never transformed before.

Chapter: UNBOUND WOLF
AURELIA “Mate…” I woke up with that word still pressed on my lips like a prayer. The first thing that reached me was the sterile smell of antiseptic and the soft beeping of medical equipment. The lights above were too harsh and white, making me squint as I tried to blink the room into focus. I lifted a hand to rub my eyes and froze. Something was wrong. I… couldn’t see clearly. Normally I could manage without my glasses for a little while, my wolf vision compensated even when my actual eyesight didn’t. But now all I could see was blurry lines and floating shadows. My fingers trembled as I patted weakly around the sheets, searching for my glasses, panic setting in. Despite being a wolf, I'd had issues with my visions, most times I doubted if I was truly a wolf, Xena's presence was the only reassurance I had. Xena… I tried reaching for her, but I couldn't feel her presence. Fear set in. I knew something was wrong as I sat up, trying to get used to the strange room. Thi

Their presence was a strange sight, but I barely noticed them in my excitement. I should have known something was wrong, but my joy blinded me. “You’re pregnant,” the doctor had said earlier, and those words were everything. I was an omega, so being pregnant was a miracle. But when I rushed in to share the news with my mate, the Alpha of Lilac Valley, the air turned cold and rage boiled in me. I wanted to scream; my mouth was open, but no sound escaped my lips. “No.” That was the only word I could mutter. “Aiden?” I whimpered in a trembling voice as he stopped moaning and turned to stare at me. His eyes held no remorse but rage as he pulled out of the lady beneath him. “What are you doing here, Lia?” he shouted, his voice laced with venom. “I told you, you couldn’t show up here unless I sent f
