Heavy Sweetness Ash Like Frost

Sophia Martinez thought her graduation trip would end with a ring on her finger, but instead, it ended with betrayal. When she caught her boyfriend tangled in bed with her roommate, she did what any heartbroken girl with non-refundable vacation tickets would do. She went to Santorini alone. But what was supposed to be a solo getaway turned scandalous when a smoking-hot stranger walked in on her… in a very compromising position. Angry, humiliated, and ready to raise hell, Sophia reported him to the hotel only to find out the room actually belonged to him. One night. One room. One wildly heated poker game that ended with a one-night stand. Months later, Sophia lands her dream job… only to walk into the boardroom and come face to face with the man from Santorini. Julian Wilde. The cold, commanding billionaire CEO who now holds her career—and her heart—in his hands. He pretends not to know her. She pretends not to care. But their chemistry refuses to stay buried. What begins as a forbidden office romance soon spirals into something deeper—darker—especially when Sophia learns the shocking truth: Julian’s powerful family might be the reason her father lost everything. Now, torn between revenge and love, Sophia must decide. Will she destroy the man she loves to avenge her family? Or protect him and lose herself in the process?

I didn’t mean to marry him. I was supposed to meet my blind date — the one my parents handpicked after my three-year relationship with a cheating boyfriend ended. But he said yes. Cassian Dorne—cold, powerful, and everything I should run from. Yet the way he looks at me feels like déjà vu, like he already knows me. I thought this marriage was my rebellion, my escape from my parents’ control. But as memories of one forbidden night begin to resurface, my husband starts to look less like my saviour… And more like the danger I should have stayed away from. And if my memories return, they might destroy us both.

The 99th time my fiancé, Draven, hung up on me, I dragged myself to the family's church, my diagnosis of end-stage renal disease clutched in my hand. "Father, I wish to renounce the Rocci family and break off my engagement to Draven Frost." The words had barely left my lips when my parents burst in with my adopted sister, Bianca. My father, the family's Consigliere, didn't hesitate. He slapped me across the face, right there in front of the priest. "Your fiancé is a respected Capo in our world, and you choose to insult him like this!" "You're dragging our family's name through the mud in front of the whole organization!" My mother snatched the diagnosis from my hand, sneering after a brief glance. "Playing sick for attention again, are you? What is it you want this time?" My adopted sister, Bianca, clung to our parents' arms, her voice choked with tears. "I'm so sorry, sister. You can have my place at the gala. Please, just stop making trouble for Mom and Dad!" I wiped the blood trickling from my nose and calmly repeated my words to the priest. "I am no longer a daughter of the Rocci family. I am not worthy of an alliance with the Frosts." "I will be dead in three days. I want this engagement broken before then."

The day Stella Jameson was released early from prison for good behavior, my husband Samuel Xenos, who was always so calm and collected, lost control. He did everything he could to please Stella in her bed. He said that our marriage was nothing but fake. He never had any real feelings for me. And that lawsuit, for which he risked his life to win for me three years ago, was nothing but a complete setup. [Zara, the man you love most is just my dog. He comes whenever I call. He has always been like this. He’s no different from Victor back then.] That was the message Stella sent me to taunt me. I wiped my tears and prepared a big surprise for them.

Aurora Walton once made a bet with her mother—if Joseph Hunt ever fell in love with her, her mother would step aside and let them be together. So, upon learning that Joseph preferred gentle and resilient girls, she disguised herself as a struggling college student to get close to him. But in the end, Joseph crushed her illusions, holding his first love in his arms as he looked at Aurora with disdain. "A gold-digging nobody like you? How could you ever compare to Judy?" Humiliated and heartbroken, Aurora walked away, returning home to claim her rightful place as heiress to a billion-dollar empire.

As she crossed paths with Joseph once more, the tables had turned. This time, it was Joseph who was left in regret.

And I've been waiting for this moment my whole life."

I’m giving you my piece of hymen.” "You look fragile. Your eyes are sad.” “M-My boyfriend cheated on me,” Elizabeth stammered, her tears pooling at the corners of her eyes once more. That was when Liz saw death in his ash-gray eyes. *** Wulf stared at the twins. “He is our daddy!” they exclaimed in unison.

Three years after our breakup, I ran into my ex-girlfriend, and she had her new boyfriend by her side. "Hey, isn't that Henry the expert?" Diego Stanley taunted with a smirk. "Three years post-breakup, and you're slumming it here playing with clay?" I furrowed my brow, ignored them, and carefully moved the Victorian-era porcelain musician figurine onto its preset base in the display case. When I wasn't biting, he reached out to grab the figurine from my arms. "What's this junk you're treating like gold? Let me take a look." Cynthia Wyatt frowned, her voice laced with that familiar arrogance. "Henry, I've given you three years to shape up, and you're still the same loser? Come on, hand over that clay doll to Diego. Don't kill the vibe. If you play nice, I might even reconsider our old engagement." As Diego's hand neared the figurine, I dodged quickly and barked, "Hands off! It's a historical artifact!" Diego got pissed off and shoved me hard. "Some flea market find, and you're acting all high and mighty?" In the ensuing scuffle, I lost my balance, and the figurine slipped from my grasp, crashing to the floor. That sealed their fate. This entitled pair was about to go bankrupt trying to fix it.
