Grant Ward

My fiancé, Skyler Grant, barges into the art gallery where my work is being exhibited and trashes the place. "You plagiarized Leah's work and pushed her to jump off a building! I can't believe you have the gall to have an exhibition here! I have to seek justice for her!" He sets the gallery on fire, leading to stray glass shards damaging my eyes. I'm tormented by the pain of losing my work and vision when Leah Rivers returns. She says indifferently, "It was April Fool's yesterday, and I was just fooling around. You're not mad at me, are you?" I charge at her hysterically, but Skyler shields her. "They're just some canvases—so what if they're gone? You can paint them again." He has no idea that I'll never paint again.

Alpha Khyrix, the first true Alpha born in over a hundred years of leaderless chaos in the werewolf pack. Avelora, a wolfless girl, earned a scholarship to Northshire High, a place that promised greatness. Instead, she was treated like a maid. No different from her own pack. On the night of Alpha Khyrix’s coronation, he shocked everyone by declaring her his mate… only to reveal to her in private that she was nothing more than a pretend mate. He turned her world upside down just to tell her it was all a lie. Now, he offers a deal: pretend to be his mate in public, and he will grant her any wish. Avelora agrees, she’s always wanted to belong, and this might be her chance. But chaos blooms from their forced proximity. Every touch sends Avelora into a frenzy… and the Alpha harbors a secret that could turn their lie into a dangerous, undeniable truth.

I trick him into signing the divorce papers and vanish from his world completely. And yet, I later hear that he is going mad searching for me! The next time we meet is at his uncle's wedding. I wear a white wedding gown, and he looks at me with tear-filled eyes. He just can't bring himself to think of me as his aunt!

At the New Year's party, my pineapple juice is swapped for beer. To make things worse, I've just taken cephalexin, which shouldn't be mixed with alcohol. After barely surviving the ordeal, I am shocked to see my husband, Harry Grant, defending Sally Lane, who was responsible for the mix-up. "Can we please just let it go? She didn't do it on purpose," Harry pleads. However, I'm not about to forgive Sally, especially given how sketchy her relationship with my husband has always been. But Harry cuts me off with a scowl, "Enough! She's just graduated and doesn't know any better. "What's the point of holding a grudge? Do you really want to ruin her life to feel better?" he asks, clearly trying to protect her. As I watch him stand by her, my heart sinks. "Fine then, go live with her."

No nosso sexto aniversário de casamento, minhas bochechas ardem enquanto desvio do meu marido, Ethan Grant, que se inclina para me dar um beijo voraz. Empurro-o na direção da mesa de cabeceira em busca de uma camisinha. O que ele não sabe é que escondi uma surpresa ali — um teste de gravidez positivo. Já consigo imaginar seu rosto inteiro se iluminando no segundo em que encontrá-lo. Mas no instante em que sua mão vai em direção à gaveta, seu telefone toca. Seu melhor amigo, Henry Miller, fala do outro lado da linha em dinamarquês. — Sr. Grant, como foi ontem à noite? Aquele novo sofá do amor que a nossa empresa lançou está te tratando bem? Ethan solta uma risada baixa e responde em dinamarquês — A função de massagem é ótima. Me poupa de ter que fazer massagem nas costas da Sandy eu mesmo. Ele ainda me mantém puxada contra seu corpo, mas seus olhos olham através de mim, como se estivesse vendo outra pessoa. — Isso fica entre nós. Se minha esposa descobrir que dormi com a irmã dela, estou acabado. Sinto como se alguém tivesse enfiado uma faca no meu peito. O que eles não sabem é que fiz curso complementar de dinamarquês na faculdade, então entendo cada palavra. Me forço a manter a calma, mas os braços que tenho em volta do pescoço de Ethan não param de tremer. Naquele momento, paro de hesitar e decido aceitar a proposta daquele projeto de pesquisa internacional. Daqui a três dias, vou desaparecer da vida de Ethan para sempre.

After crashing her stepfather's car, Jo Fisher faces a five-year sentence under the strict oversight of a high-level mafia vampire guardian. **WARNING: INCLUDES DARK SCENES SOME MAY FIND DISTURBING** In this new world order, large vampire families once thought to be the mafia in the 20th and 21st centuries, now preside over all legal matters and wield global authority after making their true natures known to the world. Jo's sentence is to be served as a contracted slave at Camilla Academy, a prestigious institution established by the more refined families. Here, vampires at a young age learn to coexist with their human counterparts and maintain control. All while ensuring their human charges become compliant and dependable sources of sustenance. Jo's options are limited. She must either adopt the role of a slave/pet to a vampire master or become the more cherished ward of a Daddy (or Mommy) vampire, expected to regress into an almost adolescent state of obedience. Dane, an ancient vampire prince underboss from the original family, is drawn to Jo's vibrant spirit and tendency to push boundaries. Captivated by her fiery demeanor and stubborn temperament, he is determined to have her as his mate rather than a subordinate. Can he temper Jo's vivacious spirit just enough for them to navigate the academy's demands without extinguishing the very fire that draws him to her?

My name is Isabella Wright. In my fifth year of marriage to the Don of a powerful mafia family, I find out that the protection charm he gave me causes me headaches whenever I bring it with me. I take out the sachet I find in the charm and bring it to Cursley Hospital. The doctor inspects the sachet and tells me that it contains a type of slow-acting poison that doesn't just cause harm to the victim's body but also renders them infertile after a while. I cry and exclaim, "But that's impossible! My husband gave this to me! His name is Vincenzo Cursley. He's also the person who owns this hospital!" The doctor looks at me in confusion. "Miss, I think you need to visit the psychiatrist. I know Mr. Cursley and his wife. They're very close and intimate with each other. Also, Mrs. Cursley just gave birth to a baby boy not too long ago. They're both now in the VIP ward, looking at their baby." Then, the doctor shows me a photo on his phone. Vincenzo was wearing his usual black suit with the Cursley family emblem embroidered on it. He was holding a baby in his arms, and as for the woman standing next to him… I know her. Her name is Claudia Henderson. And Vincenzo has always referred to her as his adoptive sister.
