Threats and Consequences:

Eduardo Martinez sat in his Mercedes outside the Wellington estate, his hands gripping the steering wheel so hard his knuckles had turned white. The massive gates loomed in front of him like the entrance to hell, and he knew that whatever waited for him inside would be worse than any nightmare.

His daughter had destroyed everything. Twenty-three years of careful planning, of building relationships, of positioning their family in upper circles in the country. And it was gone in a single moment when she decided to play rebel bride.

He took a deep breath and pressed the call button on the intercom.

"Eduardo Martinez to see the Wellington family," he said, trying to keep the desperation out of his voice.

The gates opened for him and he drove in.

The Wellington mansion made his own house look like a cottage. Marble columns, perfectly manicured gardens, and the kind of old money elegance that whispered rather than shouted. This was generational wealth, t

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Good Girl

    Chapter 3: Good Girl: "That's insane," she said, but her voice came out breathless. "Is it? You're already owned, just not by someone who values you properly. The Athletic Commission owns your ability to fight. The underground leagues own your earning potential. The system owns your future." Adrian reached out and touched her cheek, his fingers warm against her skin. "At least if you belong to me, you'll be treasured." Zara knew she should pull away from his touch. Should stand up and walk out of this penthouse and never look back. But something about the way he looked at her, the way he spoke about owning her like it was the most natural thing in the world, made her feel weak in the knees. "I'm not some pet you can collect," she said, but there was no real conviction in her voice. "No," Adrian agreed. "You're much more valuable than that." His thumb traced along her jawline, and Zara felt her resolve crumbling. When was the last time anyone had touched her with such careful r

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Daddy’s Terms

    Chapter 2:Daddy’s Terms:Stellaris Tower pierced the evening sky like a gleaming spear, its glass and steel facade reflecting the lights of the city below. Zara had passed by the building hundreds of times, but she'd never imagined she'd actually go inside.The lobby was intimidating in its luxury - marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and security guards who looked like they could bench press small cars. Zara felt out of place in her worn jeans and leather jacket, but she squared her shoulders and walked up to the reception desk like she belonged there."I'm here to see someone in the penthouse," she told the immaculately dressed woman behind the desk. "Eight o'clock appointment."The receptionist's eyes flicked over Zara's casual clothes with barely concealed disdain. "Name?""Zara Kane."The woman typed something into her computer, and her expression shifted to surprise, then professional courtesy. "Of course, Ms. Kane. Mr. Sterling is expecting you. Please take the express elevato

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Dangerous Daddy Book 3: The Fighter

    Book 3: Dangerous Daddy Intro: When underground fighter Zara Kane knocked out a billionaire's son in the ring, she thought the worst consequence would be losing her fighting license. She never expected to catch the attention of the most powerful man in Stellaris or to discover that some battles are fought outside the ring. Chapter 1: The Fighter: The crowd at Steel Arena was louder than usual tonight. Zara Kane could hear them chanting her name as she wrapped her hands, the sound echoing off the concrete walls of the underground fighting venue in downtown Stellaris City. "You sure about this fight, Kane?" her trainer Marcus asked, checking the tape on her wrists. "Word is the kid's got connections. Rich family. They are the kind that don't like losing." Zara flexed her fingers and rolled her shoulders. "Since when do I care about some spoiled rich boy's feelings?" "Since his daddy owns half the city," Marcus muttered, but he didn't try to talk her out of it. He knew bett

  • Daddy's Obsession (Filthy Daddies Collection)   Yes, Daddy

    Chapter 11Yes, Daddy:Eduardo nodded quickly. "Yes. Absolutely. Thank you, Mr. Blackwood. Thank you for taking care of her."As her father hurried away, probably to try to salvage what was left of his business, Scarlett turned to look at Damien. The ballroom was still buzzing with shocked conversation, but she felt strangely calm."Is it really over?" she asked."It's over," he confirmed. "Marcus Wellington will be too busy fighting fraud charges to bother you. Your father will be too grateful for my mercy to cause problems in his company. And everyone in this room now knows exactly who you are and who protects you.""Who am I?" she asked, even though she thought she knew the answer."You're mine, sweetheart" he said simply. "And I'm the most powerful man in Valdoria. Which makes you untouchable."The way he said it, with such absolute certainty, made her feel like she really was a queen. Like she could conquer the world if she wanted to."Let's go home," she said, suddenly wanting t

    Chapter 10Mine In The Spotlight:The charity gala was being held at the Grand Valdoria Hotel, one of the most exclusive venues in the city. As their car pulled up to the red carpet entrance, Scarlett could see photographers and reporters waiting to capture photos of all the arriving guests."They're going to take pictures of us," she said, suddenly nervous."Good. I want everyone to see you with me." Damien's hand found hers and squeezed gently. "Remember, you belong here. You belong with me. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise."When they stepped out of the car, camera flashes immediately started going off. Scarlett heard people calling Damien's name, asking who his beautiful companion was, but he didn't stop to answer questions. He just kept his hand on her back and guided her through the crowd like he owned the place.Which, she realized as they walked through the hotel lobby, he probably did.The ballroom was stunning, crystal chandeliers, elegant flowers, and hundreds of Va

    Chapter 9You Belong To Me:Something flickered in his expression. Surprise, maybe? Like he hadn't expected her to be angry."I told Mrs. Chen to take care of you. You had everything you needed in my house.""Everything except an explanation. Everything except knowing whether you were dead or alive. Everything except feeling like I was more than just a convenient toy you played with and then put away."He pushed off from the door and walked toward her, his movements predatory like that of a hunter. But Scarlett didn't back away, she was too angry to be intimidated."Is that what you think?" His voice was soft, dangerous. "That you're a toy to me?""What else am I supposed to think? You made all these promises about protecting me and helping me destroy Marcus, and then you vanished. For seven days I've been stuck in this house with no idea where you were or what you were doing or if you were ever coming back.""You tried to escape," he said, stopping just out of arm's reach. "Three day
