Isabella Romano's idyllic existence falls apart in just one week. Her engagement and career have been ruined, and the only place she can go is to her father's construction business. Finding herself in front of Dominic Castellano, her dad's business partner, best friend, and the man she's desired since she was eighteen, is the last thing she expects. For years, Dom has avoided contact with Vincent's daughter. She is everything he shouldn't want, off-limits, and prohibited.

With a hunger that had been growing for years, he forced her against the office wall and framed her face with his rough hands before snatching her mouth. "This is insane," he growled against her lips while his fingers entangled themselves in her hair. "Then stop," she said softly. No, he couldn't. He couldn't, God forbid him. As he raised her, plans strewn across the floor, her legs encircled his waist. It was everything he had denied himself: the taste of her, the sensation of her gentle curves on his. She gasped as his lips touched the tender region on her neck. "Dom," she said. "Please—" “Dom? "You in there?" The door opened and Vincent's voice roared in. Both of them froze

My disabled husband, Nico, had lost his will to live. I had to give him a reason to stay—a hope. I had to give him a child. But where was I to find this life for my empty womb? "Lena, how unexpected," my husband’s brother said to me, standing in his penthouse office in the heart of Manhattan. I found myself begging this cruel man—a man who had just left mottled scars on another woman’s skin. I needed him to claim me. I needed him to leave his seed inside me. I needed his child. "If you want to seduce someone," Salvatore said, "you should start by taking off your clothes." I stripped. I held my own breasts and pleasured myself before him, desperate to ignite his desire. But he only shoved his fingers into my mouth, drew his belt, and lashed it across my hips. "Slut," his voice was low and lethal. "You want a child? Then you’d better pray for the moment I finally sink myself into you."

“Do you want me to show you?” He asked. I nodded, too weak to answer. His strong arms lifted me off the ground and I wrapped my legs around his waist. I felt him drop me on my bed. His eyes had darkened with desire. I wanted him. I wanted him so bad. He dropped slow, teasing kisses on my neck, on my ears, nibbling on the lobe. I felt his hand creep under my shirt and I gasped. He wrapped the hand around my waist and pulled me closer. I moaned softly, digging my nails into his back. He suddenly withdrew from me. “Who's the whore now?” He asked and then proceeded to walk away, leaving me by myself on the bed **************************************** From being the unnoticed calculus nerd to having the full attention of the school's bad boy, the principal's son.

Hindi akalain ni Adela na masisira ang buhay niya nang isang gabi lang dahil sa pagpinagkakatiwalaan niyang kaibigan. AT ang masalimuot na gabing iyon ay ang gabing makikila niya si Desmond Kyle Aviel Monarco ang kinatatakutan at pinaka makapangyarihan sa larangan nang negosyo at isa sa mga mayayamang tao. pilit niyang kinakalimutan ito, kahit halos gabi gabi itong bumabalik sa mga alaala niya, Ngunit paano niya gagawin iyon kung kahit saan siya magpunta ay nagkikita sila, Sa bawat pagkikita nila ay sinusunggaban siya nang halik, mga halik na lalong nagpapgagulo sa puso at isipan niya, sa bawat haplos nito ang nagpapadingas nuoh ng init ng katawan niya. Inaangkin siyang pag aari nito, pilit man niya na iwasan ito ay lagi siya nitong nahahanap. "Where do you think your going baby hmmm" Saad niya sa akin na ikinaatras ko, madilim ang mga mata nitong nakatitig sa akin, umiigting ang tulisan nitong mga panga. "K-Kailangan ko nang bumalik sa trabaho ko" Sagot ko rito na ikinaatras ko na lalo naman nitong ikinalapit sa akin. "Are you avoiding me?" Madiin niyang saad sa akin na ikinaatras ko pa, malamig na pader na ang naramdaman ko sa likod ko. Itinokod nito ang isang kamay nito sa pader sa gilid ko, langhap na langhap ko ang pabango at amoy nitong alak sa bibig niya. Bago pa ako makapagreact ay sinunggaban niya agad ako nang halik, may dahas ang bawat halik niya pilit niyang ipinapasok roon ang dila niya sa bibig ko na napagtagumpayan niya. "Hmmmppp" daing ko na pilit siyang tinutulak, pinakawalan niya ang labi ko, hingal na hingal kami dahil sa halik "Don't you ever try to avoiding me or else i'll make you cry harder, screaming and begging like no mercy" madiin niyan sabi sa akin,na iniwan akong tulala at may kaba.

Five years after our son was born, I finally faced the truth: my wife didn't love me—or our boy. Determined to end this miserable marriage, I made plans to leave and take our son with me. But fate had other ideas. A car accident cost me a kidney and took our son's eye. At my lowest point, my usually distant wife fell to her knees right in the hospital corridor, begging for forgiveness. She swore she would spend the rest of her life taking care of us. We decided to give her one last chance—a 100-day trial. If she made it, we'd stay together. But on the ninety-ninth day, my son and I overheard her talking to the attending physician. "Emma," the doctor said, "did you really arrange that accident to secure organs for Daniel Carter's son? You did that to take a kidney from your husband and an eye from your son—was it worth it?" Emma Evans's voice was eerily calm. "It was worth it. As long as Daniel is happy, I'd do anything." "And what if your husband and son find out?" She fell silent for a moment, then instinctively touched the wedding ring on her hand. "Then they'll never know. They just want a family; I'll do everything I can to make up for it." So the "changed woman" we thought we knew was just an act—a carefully built lie. The happiness my son and I had begun to believe in was nothing more than a story she'd crafted to protect the person she really loved. Every kindness, every effort—it had all been quietly weighed and paid for in advance.
