“Used. Marked. Betrayed. Now it’s her turn to break the rules." Elena thought being mated meant safety, love, and forever. But forever shattered the day her husband brought another woman home, under the lie of sickness, only for Elena to discover she was pregnant with his child. And worse? He wanted an open bond, like she was some convenience to be traded when bored. Heartbroken but not broken, Elena makes the boldest decision of her life: divorce him, break the mate bond, and make him bleed for every lie he fed her. But Michael isn't letting go that easily. Not when power, pride, and his darkest secrets are tied to her. When Elena turns to Alpha Horace, the ruthless Alpha King and her husband’s estranged cousin, she finds more than protection; she finds someone who sees her, desires her, and is willing to burn everything down to keep her safe.

"We can't keep fighting this," Michael said. "YOU can't keep fighting this." Diane looked away guiltily, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Michael pulled her closer to himself, "I'll accept that. For now. But I plead that you only give me a chance to prove to you, that I've loved you ever since. And if I have to spend my whole life doing so, then I don't mind, Diane. That's how much you drive me crazy." * * After Diane loses everything and ends up in the hospital, an elegant woman walks in with a single paper that can change her fate.

Meanwhile Michael on the other hand would do anything humanly possible to get Diane back even if it meant crawling to h*ll on his knees and getting back. * A book of heartwrecking betrayal, lies, cold revenge, pettiness and intense love. Unexpected plot twists and heart swooning romance.

She wasn't meant to survive this! Seven years ago, Alessia Black was forced into a loveless marriage, betrayed by the people she trusted most. Her husband, Rowan Black, humiliated her. Her own son turned against her. And her stepsister, Elora, stole everything that should have been hers. When she walked away, she swore she would never return. But now, she’s back—and she’s not the same woman they discarded. She’s stronger, sharper, and armed with a plan to take back what was stolen. With Michael Anderson, the only man ruthless enough to stand by her side, Alessia is ready to dismantle the empire built on her suffering. As Alessia digs deeper, long-buried secrets rise to the surface, each one more lethal than the last. Betrayal runs in her past, present and future. And if she isn’t careful, she won’t just lose her revenge—she’ll lose her life. But still, she came back. Not for love. Not for forgiveness. Just cold, merciless payback. They tried to break her. Now it’s her turn to destroy them.

Meine Jugendliebe, die mir die Ehe versprochen hatte, sobald wir das Studium abgeschlossen hätten, machte der falschen Erbin Klara Weber einen Heiratsantrag – ausgerechnet bei meiner Abschlussfeier. Und Michael Hoffmann, der in den Augen aller als aristokratischer Mönch galt, erklärte mir öffentlich seine Liebe – nur kurz nachdem sich meine Jugendliebe verlobt hatte. Fünf Jahre lang war er in unserer Ehe außerordentlich liebevoll und verehrte mich zutiefst. Bis ich zufällig sein Gespräch mit einem Freund belauschte. „Michael, Klara ist inzwischen berühmt geworden. Willst du weiterhin mit Sarah Theater spielen?“ „Klara kann ich sowieso nicht heiraten, das spielt keine Rolle mehr. Außerdem kann sie, solange sie bei mir ist, Klaras Glück nicht im Wege stehen.“ Und seine kostbaren religiösen Schriften – in jeder einzelnen stand Klaras Name: „Möge Klara sich von ihren Obsessionen befreien, möge sie Frieden für Körper und Seele finden.“ „Möge Klara alles erhalten, was sie sich wünscht, möge ihre Liebe frei von Sorgen sein.“ ... „Klara, wir sind in diesem Leben nicht füreinander bestimmt, ich wünsche mir nur, dass wir im nächsten gemeinsam gehen können.“ Fünf Jahre der Selbsttäuschung, und ich erwachte in einem Augenblick. Ich besorgte mir eine falsche Identität und plante einen Ertrinkungsunfall. Von nun an müssen wir uns, Leben für Leben, nie wieder begegnen.

On our wedding anniversary, my CEO husband, Michael Grant, invited me to watch the ocean with him. Tragically, a typhoon hit. I stood there in the raging wind and rain for over two hours, and he never showed up. In the end, all I got was a text that he was suddenly going on a business trip and couldn’t make it. Right after that, his intern, Nora Blake, posted a video on her social feed. It showed my usually pampered husband barefoot while helping fishermen haul crates of seafood. Her caption read: "Our hardworking CEO loves to get his hands dirty!" I laughed and commented: "Diligent and enduring—a true role model for us all." The company Slack channel instantly exploded. Everyone was betting on whether I’d finally blow up this time. Michael called me, his voice tight with fury, "Lauren West! What the heck did you mean by posting that comment? Are you trying to humiliate Nora in public? "It was a typhoon. I helped her family move some fish. What’s the big deal? You’re such a pampered little princess who has no idea how hard life really is. Delete that comment now. I’ll take you to the coast another day." Disgust churned in me. I replied, "Let a man who’s already rolled in the mud take me to the ocean? Forget it." Yes. Michael was now tainted, and I didn’t want him anymore.

Ian Tost was the prince of the notorious underworld. Everyone in Harbor City knew he spoiled me rotten. He even went so far as to hire ninety-nine female bodyguards to keep me from harm. It did not prevent a kidnapping attempt on me. One of those bodyguards, Cece Yates, ended up with nothing more than a scratch. Ian immediately brought in the nation’s top medical specialists to treat her. To comfort her, he even took her to the Maldives for a vacation and gifted her an island. Not long after they returned from their trip, Beatrix Kazinsky, my mother, suddenly suffered a stroke and was hospitalized. Then, Michael Kazinsky, my younger brother, died in an accident during a competition. I burst into the morgue while in tears, only to overhear Ian comforting Cece. “All right now, it was my fault you got hurt last time. I’ve made Mira’s family pay for it. You’ve got too much grace to hold a grudge against her.” With my nails digging into my palms, I finally realized everything that had happened to my family was Ian’s doing. It was all just because his precious bodyguard got hurt because of me! I stumbled out of the hospital with my brother’s death certificate in a daze. On my phone, messages from that person kept coming. It added up to ninety-nine share transfer agreements, along with his promise. [As long as you want me, my arms will always be open for you.]
