Dark Deception Chapter 6

Evan Peretti and I had been together for five years, but he left me at the altar on the day we were supposed to get married and publicly announced that my bestie, Yvonne Quinto, was his true love. As I was about to become the laughingstock of the day, the heir and Don of the Linaris, Chris Linari, walked up the altar to profess his love for me. He claimed to have fallen in love with me at first sight when he first laid eyes on me years ago. I married Chris, and he showered me with love after we got married. Everyone was envious of the love we shared, and even the media would publicize our love story in high profile. However, I learned the truth when I found thousands of Yvonne's photos on his computer. His so-called love was a tactic he used to hold me back from destroying Yvonne's happiness. I thought I was saved by love when he saved me from that embarrassing situation back then, but it was just a deception in the name of love. For the past five years, he had me tied up in a web of lies he had woven by carefully creating an illusion of happiness. I decided to contact a private workshop that specialized in customizing and planning my 'disappearance'. I would fall into the sea three days later on our wedding anniversary, and my body would never be found. Chris Linari, we would never meet again.

After my wife had a miscarriage, the doctor said she could never have children again. She cried and told me to find another woman and to forget about her. I held her in my arms and told her I didn't care about having any children. However, I was smiling when she wasn't looking. The abortion remedy I bought in the countryside had worked much faster than I expected. After all, that child wasn't mine to begin with.

“You killed his child, I whispered, gritting my teeth so hard. She shook her head, her breath puffing out like she had run a marathon. His footsteps echoed with her breath. I turned to him, “ So you had a wife?” Hailey’s world came crashing down as her beloved boyfriend cheated on her, and her father married her off to a Ruthless Billionaire who had a devious secret, for selfish reasons, and she had to deal with the jealousy and more betrayal of her new life. Will she stomach a dark discovery of betrayal and tragedy in her new life, or will she embrace it and fall in love?

I was with a fishmonger for seven years. Every night, he pinned me beneath him, reckless and wild. Until one day, he took off his bloodstained apron and came clean–he was getting engaged to Sophia, the Bilotti heiress. Only then did I learn that he was the Don of the Colleo family. “Hahaha! You fooled around with Ms. Mancini for seven years, only to take another delicate young lady’s hand in marriage. Surely, she’s going to come at you.” “Don Colleo, you should keep things sweet with her.” His men’s laughter echoed in my ears. “What’s the rush? I’ve broken her well enough these past seven years. If you don’t mind, you can have her for a couple of days. Evelyn… flexible.” On the day of Vincent’s engagement party, I handed the evidence of his crimes to the police. As the sirens ripped open the city night, someone called out my name. I smiled and leaped from the eighteenth floor.

All Rina has ever wanted to do was do her research and live a peaceful life, switching places and pretending to be her twin sister wasn't on her agenda.

But the deception is suddenly becoming serious and Rina must decide what she wants to do with her life.

Dr. Aria Blackwood thought she could outrun her past by hiding in the small town of Silverwood. She was dead wrong. Three years after losing her sister in a tragic accident, Aria's ability to sense animal emotions has grown stronger—dangerously so. But nothing prepares her for the electric shock that courses through her veins when she meets Kael Nightshade, the mysterious ranch owner whose gray eyes seem to see straight into her soul. Kael knows Aria is his mate the moment their eyes meet. This Alpha werewolf has been waiting centuries for her, but revealing his true nature could shatter the fragile trust building between them. Every stolen glance ignites a fire neither can ignore. Every accidental touch sends waves of desire surging through their bodies. The pull between them is magnetic, primal, undeniable—but Kael's secret could destroy everything. When Aria begins dreaming of silver moonlight and howling wolves, when her mysterious abilities spiral out of control, she realizes Kael isn't the only one hiding something. The power awakening within her is ancient, dangerous, and tied to a bloodline she never knew existed. But their passion-filled nights under the stars are cut short when masked hunters arrive in Silverwood, led by someone from Aria's past who should be dead. As Kael's pack comes under attack and Aria's powers explode to the surface, she must choose between the love that burns and consumes her and the sister she thought was lost forever.
