Arti Spring Day

On our wedding anniversary, I canceled all my meetings and made a reservation at a restaurant. That evening, my wife, the renowned investigative journalist Amaya Shaw, called me. “Efim, I’m sorry! I just received a tip from a source. It’s urgent. “It involves inside information about a well-known company. I have to go verify it immediately!” But the next day, I saw that Javor Furey, the junior she had brought along, had posted a collage on his social media. The central photo showed Amaya wearing a childish birthday hat. Her head was pressed against Javor’s, as they made a wish together in front of a cake covered in candles. This was the caption. [Thanks, my dear Ms. Shaw! Even in the midst of her busy schedule chasing big stories, she remembered to give me this surprise birthday!] [Chasing big stories.] I stared at those three words. Then, I glanced at the limited-edition bag on our dining table. It was the one she had been raving about for half a year. It was the anniversary gift I had prepared for her. I felt absurd. I commented just two words under that post. [How touching.] Her call came in almost the second I hit send. She sounded furious. “Efim, do you have to be so sarcastic? “It’s just an anniversary. How old are you? Why are you still celebrating such childish anniversaries?” From our first year of marriage to the present, her “tip-offs from informants” and “special circumstances” always took precedence over our promises. This time, she could not even be bothered to come up with a plausible excuse. I did not say anything. I hung up and blocked her number. This marriage was over.

“I like pretty little girls who obey instructions before complaining. They don’t get to be punished.” His stubble brushed against my face and a low moan escaped me. Damn him! “Stay like this. Don’t move an inch.” What? “And for an entire week, this would be the only piece of material you get to put on.” Again, what?! ~+~ Camila Rose Frost, a club stripper, never expected her life to take such a turn. When he abusive boyfriend and boss entered into a contract with the enigmatic business tycoon, Lorenzo King Calloway. What starts as a business transaction quickly spirals into something far more intense. Bound by a contract and drawn into King's world, Camila finds herself struggling between separating from king to saving herself from his obsessed lover and a growing affection for him.

She’s been a stripper all her life, flirty, fearless, and always in character. She's never broken the rules, never interacted too long. Never let anyone close, Until he walked in. Gabriella is the star of the biggest club in the city, famous for her curves and her mask that hides half her face. At night, she’s untouchable. By day, she’s invisible, just another underpaid employee at a fashion company. Her worlds never collide… until the one man she hates most, her cold, infuriating boss, ALEX VAUGHN walks into the club and shows her a side of himself no one else has ever seen. That night, the mistake and a kiss she didn’t mean to let happen but only then did she notice the ring on his finger. He can’t forget her and when he bumps into her at work, he recognizes her instantly. What should’ve been an accident becomes a deal. Quit the club, Be his mistress for three months. She didn't want to be a puppet to a married man who was also her karma, but her father's life was on the line, the one lying in the hospital half dead. Three months. That was the agreement. But feelings weren’t supposed to be part of the contract… and Alex has never met a girl as crazy as Ella.

“Calder wanted to divorce. But I got him to agree to something crazy first.” My friend Lena's brows lift. “What is it?” “One last month,” I say. “I am going to really have him… as his real wife.” Her eyes widen and she grins. “He agreed to be your husband… in every way?” Three years ago, my husband Calder was supposed to marry my sister. On the wedding week, she vanished. So, I became the replacement bride. But Calder never saw me as a woman, just Yara’s little sister. We live like roommates while I pine for him. “Mia, you do know what you’re doing? Yes? I’m worried you’re going to get hurt,” Lena says plainly. “I’m not a child anymore, this is my choice.” She searches my face. “And after the month?” “I’ll move forward,” I say. “With or without him.”

On Couples' Day, I received a last-minute urgent request from a client to help feed her dog at her residence. The client's home is located in the same residential area as Zachary Yandon's and my marital home. Even the passcode to her home is very similar to ours, with the last four digits being Zachary's birthday. When I open the door, it feels as though I've walked into my own home. The furnishings in my client's home are surprisingly the same as the furnishings in my own home. Even the Itorian men's loafers placed at the doorway are the exact same pair as I bought for Zachary last month. I stand at the doorway hesitantly without entering the home. It's then that a golden retriever dashes out of one of the rooms and runs into my arms. The force is so strong that I stumble backward, hitting my back on the door. I know I'm not imagining things at all. It turns out the client's dog is Bingo, my furbaby who went missing three years ago!

"Sign here." With two cold words and a flick of a fountain pen, Aeron King ended our three-year marriage. No explanation. No regret. Just the chilling silence of a man who thought I was a pawn he could finally discard. He thinks he’s free of the obedient wife his family forced him to marry. He’s wrong. Thanks to a hidden clause in our pre-nup, the divorce won't be final for ninety days. Ninety days to live in his mansion, breathe his air, and remind him exactly what he’s losing. I’m done with the modest dresses and the silent smiles. I’m trading my compliance for silk lingerie and a lethal new ambition. I’m going to make him crave me. I’m going to make him jealous. I’m going to make him realize that the boring woman he rejected is the only woman he’ll ever truly want. But the game has changed. My father didn't just sell me to the Kings; he’s now using me as a weapon to dismantle their empire. Caught between a husband who suspects me of being a spy and a father who threatens to ruin me, I have to play a dangerous double game. Aeron King thinks he’s the master of the boardroom, but for the next three months, this house is my kingdom. By Day 90, I won't be the one begging for mercy. He will.

No concurso de poções, minha irmã adotiva, Célia, tornou-se famosa graças à poção que roubou de mim. Eu jamais poderia imaginar que aquela competição serviria para escolher a esposa do jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, um homem cruel, feio e naturalmente estéril. Naquela mesma noite, a Tribo Serpente enviou uma carta de casamento, exigindo que a criadora da poção se tornasse esposa do jovem senhor. Ao saber disso, meu noivo entrou em pânico e imediatamente consumou o Pacto de Almas com Célia. Depois de consumado o ato, Célia veio, rebolando a cintura, exibir para mim o Pacto em forma de Lobo em suas costas. — Agora o seu noivo é meu, irmãzinha. E agora, o que você vai fazer? Faltam só três dias para você completar vinte e cinco anos. Se ninguém se casar com você, será sorteada para aqueles Bestiais mais velhos e violentos, que batem nas esposas! Ela se enganou. Eu ainda tinha outra escolha. Procurei meus pais, que estavam na sala tentando resolver as confusões deixadas por Célia. — Se ela não vai se casar com o jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, eu me caso!

"Limits, Charli. I'm going to f**k you like you've never been f**ked. Tell me now if I've crossed that limit. Tell me now if you don't want this." Words didn't form; instead, I pushed my ass backwards until it brushed against his erection. Sometime during his speech he'd freed it from the confines of his slacks. "Last chance, Charli." "Please." My word was barely audible. He tugged my hair again. "What did you say?" "Please, Nox. I want you. Take me." He didn't need to be sure I was ready.
