Drop A Big Lie

I bet you’ve heard the story about the secretary falling head over heels for her boss; that’s me, but what happens when you have unforgettable with someone without knowing he is your boss? That’s me; I got invited to a party that ended up being a birthday party with a dungeon theme, weird, I know, tell me about it, but I finally let my hair down and enjoyed exploring my sexuality with the most intense men I have ever met. My boss, Richard Ashford, Mr. Billionaire CEO himself, he is intense, dominating, cocky, and arrogant, but he makes me feel like the most important woman in the world. Behind closed doors, he is the most fantastic lover. I wish the world could see him the same way I do. I am not ready for dating after everything I have been through. But he is. He wants to show Manhattan’s elite that I am his, but I don’t want to be in the spotlight. I like being anonymous. His life is covered by every newspaper and magazine. That’s what happens when you own most of New York’s media companies.

Betrayed. Abandoned. Left to die. Lilac had given everything to Alpha King Kael—her love, her loyalty, her very soul—only to be cast aside when his fated mate arrived. The fragile Omega not only stole Kael’s heart but destroyed everything Lilac had built, leaving her broken and watching her family perish. As Lilac took her final breath, the last thing she saw was Kael holding the woman who had ruined her. But death was not the end. When Lilac’s eyes opened, she was back, six years in the past, standing in the ceremony where she was first chosen as Kael’s mate. The goddess had granted her a second chance. But this time, she would not be the same naive woman who loved blindly. This time, she would fight. She would take back what was hers. Yet, with every choice she makes, the future begins to shift. Kael's half brother Alaric showed up in the picture. Fate is no longer predictable, and the kingdom's destiny is no longer set in stone. As Lilac walks a new path, one question haunts her: Is she rewriting her salvation… or her doom?

After I turn five years of age and have my very own phone, I start receiving strange messages every single day. For some reason, the sender keeps referring to me as their mom. At 3:00 am, they send me another message. "Mom, I saw you in my dreams again. The rain is seeping into the attic. My stepmom told me to use a rag to soak up all the water, but the rag is too small. Even though I tried to wipe it up all night, it still wouldn't dry. Mom, I'm so cold and hungry. I miss you so much…" I tilt my head, looking at the rain pouring outside the window. I then earnestly reply, "Don't be scared, sweetheart. Where are you right now? I will bring you something yummy!"

Di tahun ketiga pernikahannya dengan Adrian Pranadipa, Shanaya Wirajaya akhirnya mengetahui siapa wanita yang sebenarnya dia cintai. Wanita itu adalah kakak iparnya. Di malam kematian sang kakak, Adrian sama sekali tidak peduli pada Shanaya yang berdiri di sampingnya, dan malah menjadi tameng hidup untuk kakak iparnya menerima tamparan telak. Shanaya sadar, alasan Adrian menikahinya hanyalah karena dia cukup penurut dan tahu diri. Dan kenyataannya, dia memang sangat tahu diri.

Adrian tidak tahu bahwa dia hampir menikah dengan pria lain. Di hari ketika Shanaya berhasil mengembangkan obat mujarab untuk kanker, seluruh dunia bersorak memujinya. Hanya Adrian yang berlutut dengan satu kaki, mata memerah penuh penyesalan memohon, "Shanaya, aku salah... bisakah kamu menoleh sekali saja kepadaku?" Dia dulunya adalah pria sempurna, lembut dan terhormat, mana mungkin dia bisa salah? Shanaya melangkah mundur. Di saat yang sama, pria yang dikenal sebagai sosok paling berkuasa, dingin, tak tersentuh, dan sulit didekati, menarik pinggangnya dengan mantap. Suara beratnya menggema, tegas dan penuh otoritas. "Maaf, dia sudah mau menikah. Dengan aku."

My fiance's childhood friend, Tori Kerr, calls him 999 times, begging him to cancel the wedding. "I see it in the tarot cards. You can't get married this year. Cancel the wedding right now." Mikael Jardine hesitates and says, "Tori's tarot readings are always accurate. Let's just listen to her." My temper flares up immediately. The invitations are already sent, and the venue is booked. How can we just cancel it? Seeing that I'm angry, Mikael ultimately decides not to listen to her. In a fit of rage, Tori blocks him. I thought that was the end of it. But on the wedding day, Tori suddenly storms onto the stage. The first thing she does is shout at my mom and ask her to leave in front of the guests. Tori says, "I read it in the tarot cards last night. Your mom's rising sign clashes with Mikael's. She can't attend the wedding. Besides, your mom's just a cleaning lady. She doesn't deserve to be here!"

For seven years, Evelyn Reed hid her true identity as Princess Evelyn Voss of the Lycan Kingdom, suppressing her royal blood and her powerful wolf to live as an ordinary omega at the side of the man she loved—Alpha Alexander Thorne of Shadowfang Pack. She endured his mother’s disdain, the pack’s whispers, and Alexander’s growing distance, believing love would be enough. Until the day he brought his fated mate into their home. Scarlett Hale—beautiful, ambitious, and everything Evelyn was never allowed to be—became the center of Alexander’s world. When he revealed that Scarlett was his mate, when he threatened to drag Evelyn to apologize for something she didn’t do, when he locked her in a cell like a criminal… Evelyn finally shattered. Betrayed, humiliated, and caged by the man who once swore to choose her above all others, she receives the one thing she never expected: freedom. Her marriage is annulled. Her chains are broken. Her father, the Lycan King, and her brothers are coming for her. Now the princess who once ran from her crown is returning to claim it. Welcome home, Princess.

I was supposed to marry Marco DeLuca, the man of my dreams, in just three days. He was the mafia don of the South—dangerous, ruthless, the kind of man everyone warned you about. And I came from the Moretti family, just as powerful, a dominant force in the North. But just when I thought I had it all, fate had other plans. What was supposed to be a simple drug deal negotiation—one Marco had asked me to cover—quickly spiraled into a gunfight. In the chaos, a bullet tore through my chest. Marco made sure everyone in that room paid for my accident, but no matter what he did, it didn’t change the fact that I was lying here, wondering if my life would ever be the same. And it only got worse. In the haze between consciousness and dreams, I overheard Marco speaking with his family doctor. “After removing the bullet from Miss Moretti’s chest, we found fragments near her heart,” Dr. Levois said. “She may need another surgery.” “There’s no need for another surgery. As long as she can breathe, I’ll take care of her for the rest of her life. But if you treat her now, she’ll wake up and ruin everything I’ve planned.” Marco’s words hit me hard. “And I promised Camilla I would bring our daughter, Violetta, into the family,” he continued. “It’s better this way. Gianna won’t be a threat to her then.” So the wedding I’d longed for, the love I once believed in, was nothing but a cruel illusion. What Marco wanted, what I thought was mine, had twisted into my worst nightmare. If this was what Marco truly wanted… so be it. It wasn’t like I cared anymore.

My girlfriend keeps saying that she comes from a poor family, but she gives her childhood sweetheart a yacht on our anniversary. I text her to ask about this, but all she does is berate me. "Who do you think you are? How dare you stick your nose into my business! I'll give anyone whatever I want. My money, my call. Get lost!"
