I Hope By Jay Lewis

I was abandoned, betrayed, and forced to leave everything behind… including the man I once loved. Divorced by a cold, unfeeling husband, I vanished from his life, only to return five years later, stronger, smarter, and unstoppable. Now, I’m the CEO of a company, and our paths are destined to cross again. He thinks I’m gone. He thinks he can move on. But what happens when the man who broke my heart discovers that the child he never knew existed is his own? Revenge, regret, and forbidden love collide in a story of betrayal and redemption. Will he fight for what he lost… or will I finally walk away?

On the day the real heiress was welcomed home, my fiancé was already sleeping with her. Staring at the blue pills and torn lingerie scattered on the floor, I told them to get the hell out of my wedding house. But a second later, my father stormed in and slapped me hard across the face. "Who are you to tell her to leave? Bella is our real daughter!" "Elena, you’re just an outsider we took in by mistake. You’re the one who needs to get out." Marco wrapped his arm around Bella, his tone impatient: "Elena, I’m the heir to the Moretti family. I can’t marry a mongrel with impure blood like you. If you don't want to bring shame to the family, be smart and go tell the Don the wedding is off tomorrow." Bella gave a coy smile and tossed a stack of cash at my feet like she was giving alms: "Sister, I know Marco and I hurt you, but we’re true love." "Take this as your severance package. Take the money and get lost." I suppressed my rage and stepped forward to throw these disgusting people out, but Marco shoved me violently. "I told you, I’m not marrying you! Keep pestering us, and don't blame me for getting rough!" My stomach slammed against the table. I laughed out of pure anger. Who said I wanted to marry him? The one I’m going to marry is his father—the Don of the Moretti family, Lorenzo.

When Jeremy thinks life couldn’t get any worse after catching his boyfriend cheating, his parents who hadn’t spoken to him in six years suddenly reappear. But they don’t come with apologies.

Thrown into a cold, loveless union, Jeremy braces himself for more heartbreak. But the mysterious man he’s forced to marry is hiding a dangerous truth. A truth that whispers of power, blood, and the the moon. The deeper Jeremy is drawn into his new husband’s world, the more secrets unravel about his partner, his family, and himself. Because Jeremy isn’t as human as he always believed. And the life he thought was his… was never his at all. Now, caught between betrayal, forbidden desire, and a destiny he doesn’t yet understand, Jeremy must decide if he will resist the beast within — or embrace it.

“I don’t belong to YOU, Maverick.” “Kitten, you’ve been MINE the second you stole my attention.” *** Him crossing paths with me was no accident. Falling in love with him was never part of my plans.

During the eight years I spent by Alpha David’s side, I also raised the pup he had with my late sister. At his birthday banquet, I accidentally wore one of her old dresses. Eight-year-old Dorian grabbed a pot of freshly brewed coffee and poured it over me— right in front of the maids. The scalding liquid burned my skin, and when I looked up, I saw the same cold disgust in his eyes that I’d seen so many times in his father’s. “How dare you wear my mother’s dress?” he sneered. “You’ll never replace her. You killed her with that wicked heart of yours!” The coffee seared more than my flesh. It burned straight through my heart. I looked at the child I’d raised for eight long years. I didn’t feel angry. I didn’t even feel sad. Only a quiet kind of exhaustion. “Don’t worry,” I whispered. “I’ll leave tomorrow.”

The heart that I had waited two years for was given to the fake heiress, Diane Bishop, by my husband. The doctor said that I only had a week left to live. So, I decided to undergo cryonics. I donated my body to Diane’s workshop. The day I signed the donation papers, my son threw himself into my arms and exclaimed that I had finally made up with Diane. My parents praised me for finally being a good sister to help out Diane. My husband was pleased when he said that I had finally let go of the grudge and had become more understanding. I chuckled. They were right, I had finally learned my lesson. I would give Diane my identity as the heir of Bishop Corporation and fulfill everyone’s wishes.
