Luna's world revolved around Cedric, her childhood sweetheart and husband. She gave him her whole heart, believing in their destiny, only to find him growing cold, neglectful, and ultimately, unfaithful. He secretly found love elsewhere, leaving Luna heartbroken and alone in their own home. Amidst her devastation, a silent observer emerges: Arthur, Cedric's formidable uncle. Powerful and respected, Arthur, though reserved, has always been there in Luna's darkest moments. He's watched her pain, her tears, and every instance of her being undervalued. One night, shattered by proof of Cedric's betrayal, Luna makes a desperate proposal to Arthur. Knowing Arthur's immense influence and Cedric's obsession with pride, Luna devises a plan: they will pretend to be lovers to make Cedric jealous, regret his mistakes, and long for her return. Arthur agrees instantly, for he has secretly loved Luna for years, keeping his feelings hidden while she belonged to his nephew. What begins as a calculated charade slowly turns real. Arthur's tenderness, respect, and profound admiration—a stark contrast to Cedric's neglect—begin to heal Luna's wounded heart. She finds herself opening up and falling for the man who truly sees her worth. Now, Luna is caught between two men: the husband who once took her for granted but now desperately wants her back, and the uncle who loves her unconditionally, willing to move mountains for her happiness. Who will she choose in this intricate game of hearts?

Until his beautiful ex-fiancée arrives in a cream coat and says "Hello, Jules."

Two empires. One mandate. A lifetime of expectations. Xavier Knight is the golden heir to a massive real estate dynasty, locked into a world of old money, high society, and a pre-arranged future. For as long as he can remember, his life has been mapped out alongside Camila West, a polished media heiress. To their families and the public, they are the ultimate power couple—a perfect, strategic union of equals. But to Xavier, the gilded cage of expectation is slowly running out of air. Enter Selah Monroe. When Xavier crosses paths with Selah at an exclusive gala, he sees a quiet, independent woman who doesn't seem to fit into his flashy, elitist circle. Intrigued by her sharp wit, classy poise, and down-to-earth confidence, Xavier finds himself falling deeply and unintentionally for her. But his tight-knit social circle looks down on Selah, treating her as a low-level outsider trying to climb the social ladder. What none of them know is that Selah is the brilliant, self-made founder of a global logistics and tech empire. She doesn't need to flaunt her wealth; her net worth quietly eclipses both of their family legacies combined.

Surrounded by people too involved in his life, Xavier must choose between the flawless legacy handed to him or the quiet reign of a love that could change everything.

At Trevor and Amber's wedding, the elusive and powerful head of the Levine Group, Sebastian Levine, made a grand appearance, one arm wrapped possessively around a woman's waist. A trace of mockery curved his lips as he apologized, "I'm sorry. My wife and I are late." Trevor couldn't believe his eyes. The woman he'd cast aside only two months ago ,his former fiancée-had become his uncle's wife?! One night, half-drunk and unwilling to let go, Trevor called Serena, hoping to win her back. Over the phone, his voice was low, stripped of arrogance and edged with desperation. "Serena... can we start over? Please. I really miss you." Sebastian's gaze turned icy as he took the call, his voice cold and cutting. "Calling your aunt at three in the morning, have you lost your mind?" Disturbed from her sleep, the woman frowned and let out a soft, displeased murmur. Trevor then heard his stern, aloof uncle soften instantly, coaxing her with indulgent affection. "Good girl... come here. Let me hold you while you sleep."

“Tristan… stop… I’m preg—” The word dissolved into a moan as he curled his fingers and drove them harder. “Already dreaming about spreading your legs for him, huh?” He didn’t hear her. Or he didn’t care. (Tell him. Just say it. But if I do… will he keep me only because of the baby? Or will he hate me more for tying him down?) “Was that why you were so desperate to get away?” He sped up his rhythm, driving his fingers faster and harder until the room echoed with wet, slapping sounds, and her slickness dripped down her thighs. “I'm going to fix you.” —Tristan Cole gave Lyra Quinn three things on the day he ended their marriage: divorce papers, another woman’s hand in his, and a lifetime of regret waiting to happen. He didn’t know Lyra was carrying his child. He didn’t know the woman he called “too much” was the city's most sought-after crisis negotiator—the woman billion-dollar companies called when they were on the verge of collapse. And he certainly didn’t know that walking away from her would place her in the path of Laurent Crawford, the ruthless billionaire whose empire is falling apart. Laurent needs Lyra to save his company. Lyra needs the job to rebuild her life. Neither expects the dangerous attraction that grows between them. But when the crisis threatening Laurent’s empire begins reaching into Lyra’s own past, she realizes someone has been playing a much bigger game than either of them knew. Tristan threw away the woman he couldn’t appreciate; Laurent knows better. But loving Laurent may cost her everything. And this time, The Last Call has nowhere left to run.
