Novel Web & Cerita Possessive Hate to Love Action

Due to an accident, Noane's life inside the mansion changed. Her stepbrother blamed her for everything that happened. If fairy tales have an "Evil Stepmother," Noane has an "Evil Stepbrother" in her life whom she despises.

Five years ago, Camila Serrano watched her younger brother Mateo collapse on a football pitch in Lisbon during the biggest match of his short career. The official report called it an undetected heart defect, a tragedy, an accident, case closed within a week. Camila has never believed a single word of that report. She has spent five years building a career as an investigative sports journalist for exactly one purpose: to get close enough to Clube Atlântico, and to their captain Tiago Marques, the last man to touch her brother before he fell, to finally prove what she has always known in her gut, that Mateo's death was not natural at all. She gets her embed with the club under a false pretense, a season long feature on football culture across the Iberian Peninsula, and she gets Tiago instead, cold and guarded and considerably more dangerous than any football captain has a right to be. He watches her with an intensity that reads far too much like recognition for someone she has never actually met. Camila does not know, walking into Clube Atlântico's training ground with five years of grief sharpened into a weapon, that Tiago Marques is not simply a footballer with something to hide. He is the Alpha of an old Lisbon pack operating in plain sight beneath the club's public face. He is bound by an arranged mate pact to the daughter of a rival Alpha he has spent years quietly trying to escape, and the truth about Mateo's death is tangled so deeply into pack politics that exposing it risks a war neither the human world nor the wolf world currently sees coming.

She’s too busy fighting to survive: engineering classes by day, dead-end jobs by night, and a little sister whose next hospital bill could break them for good. Pride is the only thing her father didn’t steal when he walked out. But when a career-ending scandal rocks Lucien’s world, the ice-cold racing champion needs a miracle: a fake girlfriend who can fix his cars and his reputation. He offers Ariana everything: money, security, her sister’s future if she’ll play the part. She says no. Until one brutal night leaves her with no choice. What starts as a cold business deal explodes into a dangerous obsession. The closer Ariana gets to Lucien, the more she sees the broken man behind the legend: sleepless nights, buried rage, and a mother’s death that was never just an accident. Their lives were tangled long before they met. Now trapped in a web of lies, scorching chemistry, and secrets dark enough to destroy them both, Ariana discovers the deadliest truth of all….. Some collisions were never accidents.
