He laid me on the sheets, climbed over me, caged me with his arms. "Last chance to run," he said, voice low. "I need the money," I whispered, feeling so tiny in his arms."You're soaking," he muttered. "Virgin or not, your pussy wants this. "I moaned, looking away, couldn’t help it, "Eyes on me, sweetheart," he pushed his tip in slowly. "Fuck," he groaned. "So tight." He fucked me like he was claiming something. "Come for me," he whispered in my ears, moving faster. "Damien," I cried out his name as I came. "That's it," he growled. After a long minute he pulled out slowly. "One night," he said again, almost like a reminder... Weeks later, I walked through the quiet hall of my school. A massive portrait stared back at me, Damien Blackwood the Principal Benefactor and Owner of Columbia University. Same man who’d just taken my virginity for money. My stomach dropped. "Oh fuck... what have I done?"

⚠️ Contains mature content When the company's helicopter goes down over the Pacific, struggling intern Ariana Tokes never expects to wake up on a deserted island stuck with her domineering and cold billionaire boss, Nathaniel Coop. He’s demanding. He’s used to controlling everything. But the island doesn’t care about money, power or titles.

Ich war im vierten Monat mit dem Erben des Alphas schwanger, als meine beste Freundin Ariana mich mit voller Wucht zu Boden stieß. Sie nannte es einen „Unfall“. Ich verlor meinen Welpen. Mein Bruder Liam versuchte, sie vor den Ältesten des Rudels zu überführen. Doch er wurde des Verrats bezichtigt, ihm wurde der Beta-Titel aberkannt, und man warf ihn in die Rudelkerker. Ich rannte zu meinem Gefährten, Alpha Byron, und flehte ihn um Hilfe an. Er hielt mich fest und schwor, er würde Liam retten. Am nächsten Tag fand ich Liam in den Verliesen – in Silber gekettet, kaum noch am Leben. Mit gebrochenem Herzen suchte ich Byron erneut auf, verzweifelt nach einem Weg, Liams Unschuld zu beweisen. Dabei hörte ich zufällig, wie er mit seinem engsten Vertrauten sprach. „Alpha, wenn die Luna herausfindet, dass Sie zugelassen haben, dass man Liam hereingelegt hat … wird sie Sie hassen.“ Byrons Stimme war von Erschöpfung und unterdrücktem Schmerz durchzogen. „Ich weiß, wie sie ist. Das war der einzige Weg, sie dazu zu bringen, Ariana bei der Blutmond-Zeremonie zu verzeihen. Ariana hat mir das Leben gerettet. Ich werde nicht zulassen, dass sie daran zerbricht.” Er hielt inne, seine Stimme nun vollkommen kalt. „Was Sandra angeht … ich werde es mehr als wiedergutmachen. Sie darf niemals die Wahrheit erfahren. Niemals. Im Moment muss sie nur … gehorchen.“ Der Gefährte, dem ich mein Leben anvertraut hatte … Er hatte meine Familie den Wölfen zum Fraß vorgeworfen. Nur um die Frau zu schützen, die unser Kind getötet hatte. Mein Herz zerbrach. Zitternd vor einer Wut, wie ich sie nie zuvor gespürt hatte, rief ich den einen Menschen an, mit dem ich seit sieben Jahren kein Wort gesprochen hatte: meinen Vater, Alpha Caden. „Vater, ich nehme das strategische Bündnis an. Die Ehe, die du immer wolltest. Aber unter einer Bedingung. Ich brauche deine Hilfe … um das Blackwood-Rudel dem Erdboden gleichzumachen.“

I went viral, all for the wrong reasons. The world came down hard on me, all because I refused to approve my employee, Cassandra’s, maternity leave. Cassandra tore me apart online. “Why won’t you grant me maternity leave? “The government wants the birth rate to go up. Even if you’re the CEO, you can’t go against the law. “I get it. The low birth rate exists because heartless capitalists like you treat employees like nothing. “Fam, back me up here. Am I wrong to protect my unborn child? “I have a legal right to maternity leave.” With her words striking a chord with the young generation, the livestream became a viral sensation. Many spammed the company’s social media to criticise me. There were memes of me as a funeral portrait everywhere. Some even mailed wreaths to the office. The board ordered me to apologize live. I plugged into Cassandra’s stream and looked at her calmly. “I’m sorry, but I still can’t approve your leave.”

“You should leave” he said and I looked at him in shock, was he really going to kick me out after using me as his toy. “You get to fuck me and kick me out?” I asked him in shock. I wasn’t expecting his change of character all of a sudden. “You want a tip Bitch?” He asked as he smirk at me, it took everything in me not to hit him in the head, he was acting like a gentleman an hour ago how come he turned up to be a jerk now. “You know what, fuck you” I said as I tured to leave the office slamming the door behind me.

On the day that I returned to the country, Lola Lawson, the one who was once the love of my life for ten years, sent me a picture of a baby. She told me to think of a name and meet her at the city hall to register the baby, as she had prepared a welcome-home gift for me. So, I rushed over with bags full of baby supplies. But when I arrived, she and her girlfriends were bent over with ridicule and laughter. "I told you! Even though he was gone for a year, he's still a loyal lapdog! Just a wave of my hand and he'd even be willing to raise someone else's kid for me!" She sized me up with mocking amusement. "Kevin Sheraton. How could you still be this naive? Just one joke and you come running?" They laughed without any restraint, calling me names and hurling insults, saying I'd do anything for Lola. But when I walked past them and took a number to register my own child's birth, and later wrapped my arm around my wife as the three of us took a family portrait, Lola's eyes were completely reddened with tears.

Pernikahan tidak pernah ada di benak Ariana. Hidup bersama seorang pria seumur hidup, tinggal di rumah yang diimpikan, memiliki anak yang mirip dengannya serta pasangan. Semua itu hanya angan indah yang mungkin boleh dimiliki gadis lain, namun tidak olehnya. Ariana memutuskan untuk hidup melajang dan menikmati sisa hidupnya sendirian. Namun apa yang terjadi jika dia ‘dipaksa’ untuk menggantikan saudara kembarnya yang menghilang tepat sebelum pesta pernikahan dan menikahi pria yang tidak dikenalnya? Mungkinkah pernikahan itu akan berjalan sesuai keinginan orang-orang yang memaksanya? Atau justru akan berakhir sebaliknya?
