Masuk“I could let you run, right now, little tigress…” The heat in his gaze makes my chest ache and my thighs clench. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t chase you… and when I do catch you, I’ll f*ck you so hard, you won’t be able to outrun me with those pretty legs for days.” ~~~~~~ Brooklyn Wheeler is back from the dead—literally. Given a second chance at life, she’s determined to make those who destroyed her family pay. Izaac Armani is a billionaire CEO with a dangerous charm, a body and face built to kill, and a past shadowed in secrets. The same man whose family almost obliterated Brooklyn’s life due to his negligence. When Brooklyn calls off their arranged marriage after she resurrects from the dead, he has no choice but to confront her… and proposes a fake-dating arrangement that’ll favor them both. Then there’s Echo Vellaro: billionaire, rival, and Izaac’s closest friend, who becomes obsessed the moment he lays eyes on her. Handsome, cunning, and willing to do anything to claim her for himself, he’s the storm Brooklyn didn’t see coming. Caught between two powerful men, Brooklyn must navigate fake-dating, high-stakes car and bike races, family betrayals, and deadly secrets. Every glance, every touch, every whispered word drags her deeper into a world where love and vengeance are inseparable. Can Brooklyn survive the pull of a man who once broke her… and now might just own her heart? Can Izaac find redemption without losing everything? Dark, twisted, and irresistibly seductive—this is a story of love, revenge, and second chances you won’t be able to put down.

That you and your precious daughter didn’t strike some filthy deal with the paparazzi to humiliate us in public?”“We’ve been friends for over a decade, Odion,” Mr. Wheeler says, his voice low and heavy with shame and desperation. “You should know me better than this. I told you… I’ll speak to Brooks. I’ll make her see reason—”“It’s been a damned week, Nolan!” Father roars, grabbing a chair and hurling it across the office. It crashes against the wall, splintering on impact. “A whole week, and you’ve done nothing! Do you have any idea what that marriage clause means to
[ BROOKLYN ]If Izaac is surprised by the way I say his name as if we’ve known each other before this moment, he doesn’t show it. Instead, he simply stops in front of me and takes my hand. His touch is gentle and careful in a way that causes the heat on my skin to rise. The kind that might've swept me off my feet if I didn’t know how important and poisonous this moment is. This moment that will decide what becomes of me and my family. The day it all started.I stay stiff as he lowers his head and presses a kiss to the back of my hand. His lips are warm and they linger, his eyes never leaving mine, not even for a second.“A pleasure to finally meet you, Brooklyn,” he says softly. His dark eyes search my face, intense and unreadable. “You look really lovely.”Despite the cold tension running through me, the compliment and the feel of his lips against my skin makes heat bloom in my stomach. My face warms, and for a brief, dangerous moment, I forget that this is the same man whose negli
[ BROOKLYN ]“What have you done?!” I scream, my voice breaking as tears spill freely down my face. My heart feels like it’s tearing itself apart, bleeding out inside my chest. My eyes flick back to the window, to the body lying unnaturally still on the ground below.I want to believe that isn’t my mother. I want to believe my eyes are lying.But the truth is brutal.That’s my mother down there. And that blood on Lance’s hands are hers. They threw her off the fucking building!“Let me go to her!” I sob, trying to rush past him, but he steps in front of me instantly, blocking my way. I push at his chest with shaking hands, yet he doesn’t move an inch. “Please,” I beg, my voice cracking. “She’ll die. Let me go to her. Please—”The remaining words die in my mouth as sudden excruciating pain explodes through me.I feel the pain of something sharp sinking deep into my stomach, cutting off my breath at that instant. A broken gasp tears from my lips as fire rips through my body.I blink thro
[ BROOKLYN ]“Who did you say is responsible for your pregnancy?”My mother’s voice trembles as she asks the question. She sits across from me on the bed, her face drained of color. From downstairs, the muffled sounds of laughter, music, and clinking glasses drift up. The Armani anniversary party is in full swing.Tears blur my vision. This is exactly how I imagined she’d react.“Lance.” I whisper, the name tasting bitter against my tongue. Her breath stutters. She exhales sharply, like she’s holding back a scream.“No…” Her head shakes, slow at first, then faster. Tears spill as her brows pull together. “No, Brooklyn. Tell me you’re lying.”She moves closer, her trembling hands gripping mine. They’re cold and damp, just like mine. “Tell me I didn’t hear you right. Tell me you’re not pregnant for your husband’s younger brother.”A sob tears out of me. I drop my gaze, my chest tightening until it hurts to breathe. Mascara streaks my cheeks, staining my skin and the expensive dress I w
