MasukHe broke her heart. He wants her body. But her bloodline may cost her life. Her mother’s death was not an accident. Her inheritance is not just wealth. It is a dangerous secret buried inside the country’s most powerful private hospital. Aria Lancaster has two men fighting for her. Ethan Blake, the boy who kissed her sweetly and broke her heart without mercy. Damian Cole, the ruthless billionaire who wants to own every part of her, body and soul. One is forbidden temptation. The other is familiar sin. But Aria’s bloodline carries a truth darker than desire, and when it surfaces, passion alone will not be enough to save her.

Your wife she’s on the news.”He frowned, took the phone, and pressed play.The clip opened to chaos: the lobby of Texas Health Care Hospital, a crowd, flashing phones then the slap.Beatrix Cole’s hand struck Selene with a sound that cut through the noise.Her voice shook as she screamed:“Tell me you didn’t kill them your PA, your ex-boyfriend, Lancaster’s first wife ‘Amelia !”The room around Lancaster went silent.Executives stared; no one dared move.He froze, jaw locking.“Get everyone out,” he said quietly.“Sir?” his assistant asked.“Now.”The conference room cleared in seconds.Lancaster remai
The mansion was silent, but Mr. Cole’s mind wasn’t.He sat at the edge of his bed, lost in the echo of Selene’s last words over the phone. Her voice still lingered smooth but venomous.“Let’s end it that day…”He rubbed his temple, exhaling slowly. End what?He wasn’t sure if it was a threat, a promise, or another of her twisted games.Then his phone vibrated a burner message.A one-time text. No sender ID.He opened it, and instantly, the message flashed across his screen:“Have you forgotten it’s time we take charge of the property?He hasn’t passed the will to our son. Tried all means, but he can’t find it. Too suspicious.I’m thinking of running it up on his birthday.We need to talk… Call me.”As soon as he finished reading, the message vanished.The phone screen went black. No trace. No history.Cole stared at it, his chest tightening.“You better don’t do anything stupid…” he said aloud, his voice sharp, unaware his wife had just stepped in.Beatrix: “Who are you talking to, a
“Selene, I’ll kill you!” Beatrix Cole screamed from the bathroom floor. “I don’t fucking care whatever aura you’re using! Have I ever even slipped before?!”Her voice echoed through the mansion, trembling with rage and disbelief.“Beatrix!” Mr. Cole rushed in, nearly tripping over the scattered towels. “What happened?”She glared at him furiously, struggling to sit up. “What happened? Ask your witch friend Selene! I slipped like a fool in my own bathroom!”Cole sighed, crouching to help her. “Stop shouting—”“Don’t touch me!”“I’m helping you up!” he snapped, lifting her onto her feet.Her face twisted, anger replacing pain. “Don’t you dare raise your voice at me.”Cole blinked, tired of the endless mood swings. “You know what? I’m done. You fall, I help, and you’re still angry. What’s next, Beatrix?”He turned, walking out before she could respond.The room went silent except for her harsh breathing. Then her phone rang.She picked it up, still trembling. “Who’s this?”“Selene,” came
Selene and Lancaster’s Mansion MidnightSelene stormed into the house, fury vibrating through her every step.She threw her handbag on the couch and barked, “Where’s everyone? Who left the hallway lights on?”The maids froze. One of them stammered, “Good evening ma—”“Don’t ‘good evening’ me!” Selene snapped, marching toward the staircase. “Switch off those lights and move!”She slammed her bedroom door behind her and muttered, “How dare she… that insolent brat!”The door opened again Lancaster leaned on the frame, shirt unbuttoned halfway, holding a glass of whiskey.“What’s wrong with you?” he asked calmly. “You’re acting weird.”Selene paced back and forth. “There’s this girl… at the hospital. She talked back at me. Boldly. Shouted. Looked me straight in the eyes like I was nothing.”Lancaster raised an eyebrow. “A small girl made you this mad?”Selene hissed. “I was told she owns the hospital now.”Lancaster blinked, surprised. “A small girl owns Texas Health Care?”“Yes!” Selene
