"Apple Gale Fernandez-Tuazon," he teased as he played with my shirt. His breath gives me shiver as I want to run away from him but I can't. I just can't. His smell, his touch, his body, I want him too more than he wants me. Naramdaman ko ang mainit niyang hininga sa leeg ko habang patuloy niyang pinapalakad ang kamay niya papasok sa natitira kong saplot. ***** Si Adrious Caesar Tuazon ay kinikilala as the most dangerous Mafia King. He was ruthless, cold, attractive, dangerous, poker-faced expression, dark, and dead gorgeous. Namimili lang siya ng kanyang pinagkakatiwalaan.

She was charming, may pagkamasungit sa mga hindi niya kilala, labanera sa mga taong lumalaban sa kanya at higit sa lahat she is loveable. Hindi maayos ang pakikitungo ng ina ni Apple sa kanya.

Solène Diallo, franco-sénégalaise et fille d’un ancien diplomate, mène une vie rythmée par les apparences. Depuis la mort tragique de son père, elle enchaîne conquêtes et caprices pour conserver le luxe auquel elle a toujours été habituée. Belle, brillante, provocante, elle sait que le monde s’ouvre à celles qui osent — et elle ose tout. Mais derrière les verres de champagne et les hôtels cinq étoiles, Solène se sent vide. Jusqu’à ce qu’Ezra Delacroix, héritier d’une fortune aussi sombre que son regard, ressurgisse dans sa vie. Ils se sont connus. Elle l’a fui. Aujourd’hui, il lui propose un marché : devenir sa compagne officielle pendant six mois pour faire taire des rumeurs qui menacent son empire, en échange d’une somme impossible à refuser. Pourquoi elle ? Pourquoi maintenant ? Solène accepte, attirée par le défi… et par l’énigme qu’est Ezra. Mais ce contrat cache bien plus qu’un simple arrangement. Il y a des chaînes qu’on choisit. Et d’autres qui nous consument.

The room reeked of spilled champagne and poor decisions. Siena Blake blinked against the harsh morning light slicing through velvet curtains, her body aching in places she didn’t want to think about. She wasn’t in her bed. She wasn’t even in her house. And the man lying beside her—a stranger with a dangerously perfect face—was the proof. It was supposed to be her bachelorette party. One night of wild abandon with her friends before tying the knot with the man she’d loved since childhood. Instead, she had woken up in the arms of someone else, with no memory of how she got there. But that wasn’t the worst part. The worst came later—when she found police outside her house, her father being dragged away in handcuffs, and her fiancé, Zane, sending her a venom-laced message: “You’re a whore, Siena. Return the ring or I’ll leak the footage.” Within hours, her life was in ruins. Her family disgraced. Her heart shattered. And the man from that night? Lucian Voss—the most feared CEO in the country—stood behind it all, either by fate or by design. What started as an accident would become her obsession. Because five years later, she’s coming back… With a secret child. A mission for revenge. And a dangerous deal with the devil who unknowingly fathered her baby.

“I need your help to fake a private jet crash,” I said quietly. “It’s the only way I can ever leave Luca Moretti.” People said he’d given up the Mafia throne for me. They called him the man who traded power for love— the heir who walked away from blood and gold just to marry a waitress from the slums. For years, he made the world believe in us. He built empires under my name. He sent me roses every Monday. He told the press I was his salvation. But love doesn’t always mean loyalty. While I was busy believing in forever, he was building a second home behind my back— one filled with laughter, toys, and twin sons who had his eyes. The night I disappeared, his empire burned. He tore apart cities, bribed governments, and buried men alive just to find me. But by the time he did— I was already gone. And the woman he’d once died for no longer loved him enough to stay alive.

I was with Ivan Knowles for seven years. Despite the rumors that always swirled around him, he never gave me a reason to doubt his loyalty. He let me check his phone and even welcomed me to join him on business trips. I never found anything suspicious until our engagement day. The host had just shared how Ivan flew in my favorite white roses from abroad when the big screen, meant to play a video celebrating our seven years together, instead showed a hospital room. The cry of a newborn rang out. Ivan sat on the bed holding the baby. His secretary, Alba Lawson, leaned on his shoulder, wearing the same diamond ring as mine. Tearfully, she explained to me that it was a misunderstanding. "Alba is a single mom," Ivan excused. "I'm just helping her out as her boss. Don't make a big deal out of this." The room went quiet, everyone waiting for me to flip out. I didn't. Instead, I calmly slipped off my ring and handed it to him. "Of course not. I just wish you happiness."

On our seventh wedding anniversary, I was straddling my Mafia husband, Lucian, kissing him deeply. My fingers fumbled in the pocket of my expensive silk dress, searching for the pregnancy test I'd hidden there. I wanted to save the news of my unexpected pregnancy for the end of the evening. Lucian's right-hand man, Marco, asked with a suggestive smile in Italian: "Don, your new little canary, Sophia. How does she taste?" Lucian's mocking laughter vibrated through my chest, sending a chill down my spine. He replied, also in Italian: "Like an unripe peach. Fresh and tender." His hand was still caressing my waist, but his gaze was distant. "Just keep this between us. If my Donna finds out, I'm a dead man." His men chuckled knowingly, raising their glasses and swearing their silence. The warmth in my blood turned to ice, inch by inch. The one thing they didn’t know was that my grandmother was from Sicily, so I understood every word. I forced myself to remain calm, keeping the perfect smile of a Donna fixed in place, but the hand holding my champagne flute trembled. Instead of making a scene, I opened my phone, found the invitation I had received a few days ago for a private international medical research project, and tapped "Accept." In three days, I would disappear from Lucian's world completely.
