Mag-log in“No! I don’t care if you buy me the city skyline, Jason. I’d still tell you to fuck off.” Jason Hale smirked. “What if I bought you the moon?” Samantha Torres’ life isn’t what she planned. Once a top science student, she now waits tables to pay off debt and care for her family. And the one wound she’s never healed? Jason, the man she loved in college, who cheated and broke her heart. Now, five years later, Jason is back. He’s heir to a billion–dollar empire and determined to win her again. He claims he’s changed, and he tempts her with lavish gifts, promises, and the same charm that once ruined her. But Jason has dangerous secrets, and Samantha swore that she would never fall for him again. Until her brother’s gambling debt pulls the mob to her doorstep…and Jason becomes the only man who can save her. Now she is drawn back into his world of wealth and risk, and Samantha finds herself torn between old wounds and new desires. But enemies circle fast: his ruthless twin, the woman who once came between them, and a rival who wants her for himself. Will Samantha walk away from Jason, or will she risk everything to find out if love is worth the danger?

His translator stood uselessly to the side, they both preferred not to use him.Jason bowed in return. "Thank you for your trust. My people will finalise the joint business integration plan by tomorrow."Then Jason escorted him and his entourage toward the elevator where a full team of Hale security and Takeda's personal guards stood waiting to escort him to Jason's private jet. They shook hands again and a few cameras flashed as some official press members took pictures for their different business news agencies.As the
Margaret's heels clicked softly as she followed behind Samantha, but Samantha could barely hear her, the only sound she could hear was the angry roar still echoing in her ears. "Miss Torres, if you would give me one minute to--"She didn't know where she was going, the house was too damn big for her to find her room without getting lost. The hallway split into two others she could've sworn weren't there ten minutes ago, but she kept walking like she had a destination, like she knew what the hell she was doing.Her hands wouldn't stop shaking."Samantha please...""I don't want to hear it." She said coldly, shaking the door handle of each room she passed till she could find one that wasn't locked. She had to sit down, fast, or she felt like she would break something."Right," Margaret whispered, quickening her pace to keep up. "Samantha. I only wanted to...""Give me your phone." Samantha stopped so abruptly that Margaret nearly collided with her back. "Or that tablet. Whichever one
Absolutely not. This girl, whoever she was, had to leave. Even if she was to believe her, even if she was to take her word for it, Samantha could not stand Tiffany's character.She stood up slowly, she did not look panicked at all, not even shy. Now she was just perfectly cold and calculated, she knew exactly what to do so she would not have to put up with this anymore. She'd reached the end of her rope, and now she was going to show this bitch what's what.Tiffany’s winning smirk faded quickly as Samantha stepped forward and, without saying a single word to her, reached toward the ring light. The light that had been shining on Tiffany’s face snapped into darkness, making her then flawless makeup now look harsh, unblended and downright ugly. The livestream comments went crazy; the tablet in Margaret’s grip buzzed frantically with ping after ping of comment notification.The whole world watched as the fiancée of the world's richest man kicked a top reporter from one of the most reput
"I'm sorry," Samantha said slowly, forcing air into her lungs. "Did you say... mistress?"She kept her voice cool, but her hands gripped each other too tightly in her lap. The cream dress she was wearing felt too tight all of a sudden, and she shifted uncomfortably as heat crept up her neck.How stupid can you be, Samantha? She thought to herself. This is what you get for letting your guard down, for one night of trying to forget. Tiffany smiled wider, her teeth impossibly white against her glossy pink lips. "Oh, absolutely. And I'd love it if you could clear this up personally, since the whole world thinks that Jason Hale is expecting a child with another woman. Before your wedding."Samantha felt like she'd been slapped across the face. What child? When? How? Was this some kind of weird press question bullshit that she was doing for viewers?Click.Samantha's gaze snapped down.There was a phone discreetly mounted under the glass table between them, angled up at her face with the r
He walked out and left her there without even waiting for an answer.The bedsheets were still warm where his body had been just a few hours ago. Samantha dragged her fingers across the cool linen where he no longer was, her wet pussy clenching in sexual frustration. He'd put a spell on her, she was sure of that now. Somehow, after all the time they'd spent together, he'd done something to her. And whatever it was, the sex they had last night just made it stronger.Now she felt a need for him that wouldn’t settle, she sighed, glaring at the ceiling. She wanted to touch herself so she could get over it, but she knew it wouldn't be enough. She could never satisfy herself like he could.Samantha groaned. This was getting ridiculous. Needing Jason, craving him. After everything he’d done. After all she’d told herself she’d never forgive him, even though she would stop asking questions for her own sanity's sake.Her hand drifted down, hovering between her thighs, almost touching her soakin
I woke to cold air and an empty bedroll.Mattias was gone. The space beside me was still warm, which meant he hadn't been gone long, but the tent felt bigger without him in it. Emptier.I sat up slowly, every muscle in my body screaming in protest. My dress was stiff with dried blood—some mine, most not—and my hair felt like it had been used to scrub a forest floor.Outside, voices drifted through the canvas. Normal camp sounds: metal on metal, someone giving orders, the crackle of a fire. No screaming. No accusations.Yet.I forced myself to stand, swaying slightly as blood rushed to my head. The bowl from last night sat where I'd left it, the stew congealed into something that looked even less appetizing than before.My stomach growled anyway.I picked at it with my fingers, too tired to care about dignity, when the tent flap suddenly ripped open.Davies stood there, the same young soldier from yesterday. His crossbow wasn't drawn, but his hand rested on it. Behind him, three other
