Lena Hale promised herself she would never see Adrian Vale again—the boy she once loved, the man who ruined her life without ever knowing he did. But fate doesn’t care about promises. One night. One borrowed dress. One harmless dinner with an elderly millionaire to keep her bills from crushing her. That’s all it was supposed to be… until Adrian walks into the same hotel and looks at her with the cold, cutting eyes of a man who thinks he already knows the truth. He thinks she sold her heart for money. He thinks he finally caught her in the act. He thinks she has a price. And Adrian Vale is a billionaire who always pays what something is “worth.” A raised eyebrow. A silent gesture. An envelope she never asked for. A number she can’t ignore. Suddenly Lena is trapped in a slow-burn collision of power, obsession, old wounds, and the kind of chemistry that burns hotter after eight years apart. He wants answers. She wants freedom. But the past they share is a loaded gun—and Adrian is done pretending he doesn’t want to pull the trigger. He was the love she lost. Now he’s the danger she can’t escape. And the more she fights him, the more he decides she was always his. If Lena can’t match him move for move… she won’t survive him.

Amira endures three years of abuse as a neglected housewife in the Quinn family mansion, treated like a servant by her cold husband Keal, his cruel mother Catherine, and his vindictive siblings.

In the pouring rain, three powerful strangers intercept her: billionaire CEO Alex Albert, superstar Ryan Albert, and legendary lawyer James Albert—brothers who reveal she's their long-lost sister Rose, kidnapped thirteen years ago.

Un week-end sauvage à Nice n’aurait dû signifier rien. Une escapade insensée. Un homme qu’elle n’avait jamais prévu de revoir. Cinq ans plus tard, Aurore Laurent vivait enfin son rêve : stage en cardiologie à Lyon, sous la houlette du brillant et impitoyable Dr Nicolas Duval. L’homme qui lui avait pris sa virginité. Au début, il ne semblait pas la reconnaître. Ou peut-être savourait-il simplement le moment où il pourrait la coincer et murmurer : — Je t’ai cherchée. Mais ce n’était pas qu’une aventure d’un soir. Aurore cachait un fils de trois ans, avec les yeux de Nicolas, et une seconde vie sous les lumières stroboscopiques : elle dansait sous un faux nom pour payer les factures et tenir les créanciers à distance. Elle ne s’attendait jamais à ce qu’il entre dans le club. Ni à ce qu’il réclame une danse privée de la femme qu’il ne devait pas reconnaître. Quand la vérité éclate, Nicolas ne se contente pas de se mettre en colère. Il riposte. Il dépose une demande de garde, alors qu’il avait juré ne jamais vouloir d’enfants. Mais ses yeux sombres racontaient une autre histoire. Il ne voulait pas seulement son fils. Il la voulait elle. Contrôlée. Liée à lui comme autrefois. À présent, Aurore doit protéger son autonomie, sa carrière et son enfant. Et Nicolas doit affronter la peur qui le hante : désirer quelque chose qu’il ne peut contrôler… avant de tout perdre. Certains secrets détruisent. Certains amours explosent. Jusqu’où ira-t-elle pour son fils ? Jusqu’où devra-t-il se briser pour réclamer la famille qu’il n’avait jamais voulue… jusqu’à maintenant ?

Sebastian Sterling was the CEO of the Sterling Group, ranked third among the world's wealthiest business leaders. We had a five-year-long relationship, three years of which we lived together. He told me he loved me so much that he was willing to sacrifice himself for me, yet he never gave me the title of Mrs. Sterling. During those three years of living together, he betrayed me three times, pushing me into hell with his own hands. The first time, he secretly obtained a marriage certificate with his close friend's widow. However, he knelt before me, crying and begging me to believe that it was just for protection. The second time, under the spotlight of media cameras and thousands of watching eyes, he held her hand and announced that she was his wife and the lady of the Sterling family. Backstage, he gripped my hand and swore in a low voice that he would marry me once everything ended. The third time, he spent a passionate night with her and got her pregnant. I discovered the truth when I saw them at the hospital, attending a prenatal appointment together. Loving him was death by a thousand cuts. I forgave him again and again, yet he betrayed me every time. One day, I finally walked away. In my pocket was my positive pregnancy test—I was carrying the child he had always wanted. Only then did Sebastian collapse to his knees in regret, crying out my name with a broken voice. However, he had lost not just me, but the heir he never knew existed too!

Samantala, si Theo, na matagal nang biktima ng kanyang nakaraan, ginamit lang siya bilang pawn sa isang matagal nang laro ng paghihiganti. Pero paano kung hindi niya inaasahang mahuhulog siya sa babaeng minsang balak niyang sirain? As long-buried secrets unravel and old wounds begin to bleed again, will love be strong enough to overcome the pain? Or will their love itself be the ultimate sacrifice?

Life is something unprecedented. Family is a gift which I'm certain any individual would need. At the point when you're a kid, your parents should shield you from whatever might hurt or scare you. They should give you love and let you in on that you have them. As far back as I can recollect, my folks have given me the direct opposite. To be more exact... my mom and stepfather. Rather than wishing me wonderful dreams, they reviled me with bad dreams. As opposed to much love, I got punches and kicks. I don't know what I did wrong for them to give me that treatment and disdain me so much, however I had figured out how to simply manage it. Particularly when a wonderful green-peered child was born into the family. Indeed, on the off chance that you might call us that. At last, I figured out how to move us away from those terrible individuals I called parents. All was great and we were happy, yet happiness doesn't keep going long. He was the beginning of my nightmares. I simply wish somebody would've let me know what my life would come to. Perhaps then I could never have decided to trust him. I wouldn't be hauling my seven-year-old girl out at 2am simply to move away from him... "Come on, bubbles. Rush!" I briskly shout as I pull Daisy towards the vehicle by her hand. "Mom…I dropped Tom!" She cries back to me while I put her in the backseat and immediately lock her in. I would have rather not returned in, terrified of what could occur however she adored Tom. Since I got him for her, she has become very attached to him. So without another thought, I ran once again into the house.

« Où avez-vous caché le corps ? » C’est la première chose qu’il m’a demandée. Pas mon nom. Pas pourquoi j’étais à genoux dans la neige, à côté de la tombe. Il y a deux ans, j’ai falsifié un rapport ADN pour protéger mon père. Cette erreur a enterré la justice d’une femme — et éveillé la vengeance d’un homme. Vale Creed, le milliardaire qui a bâti son empire sur la vérité, ne croit pas au pardon. Il croit au chantage. Et maintenant, il sait ce que j’ai fait. La mort de sa sœur. Le secret de mon père. Un mensonge impossible. Et sa proposition ? Pas de l’amour. Un contrat. Une punition. Un mariage. Noël approche, et je suis prisonnière dans son manoir de verre — où chaque pièce cache un souvenir, chaque baiser ressemble à une preuve, et chaque battement de cœur sonne comme un aveu. Mais plus je tombe, plus la vérité se rapproche… et elle pourrait bien nous tuer tous les deux.

J'étais autrefois la Bêta la plus forte de la meute. J'ai brisé ma louve en sauvant mon compagnon, l'Alpha Damon. J'ai perdu l'ouïe. J'ai perdu notre lien mental. Mais Damon ne m'a jamais traitée comme si j'étais handicapée. Il a appris la langue des signes pour moi. Il s'est assuré que toute la meute me respecte en tant que leur Luna. Notre fille était adorable et parfaite. Elle me montrait toujours à quel point elle m'aimait. Puis un jour, c'est arrivé. J'ai retrouvé l'ouïe, le lien mental s'est rétabli. J'étais tellement excitée. Je voulais l'annoncer à Damon et Lily lors de la cérémonie de la pleine lune. Au lieu de cela, je les ai entendus. Lily, ma précieuse fille, parlait à Damon via notre lien. « Papa, l'infirme porte toujours mon frère. Quand pourrons-nous ramener maman Elara à la maison ? Je veux qu'elle soit notre vraie Luna ! » C'est là que j'ai compris : ma fille, le fils dans mon ventre, ils ne m'appartenaient jamais. Ils appartenaient à Elara. Elara était une oméga métisse. Elle ne pouvait pas porter les petits d'un Alpha. Je n'étais qu'une mère porteuse, une incubatrice vivante. Damon m'a donné du poison pour me rendre stérile. Puis il a utilisé la magie noire pour implanter l'enfant de son amante en moi. J'ai tremblé, les larmes coulaient sur mon visage. Damon m'a trahie et j'allais réduire son monde en cendres. Ensuite, je disparaîtrais à jamais de sa vie.

She walked away from her cold, loveless marriage... only to discover she carried the one thing they would stop at nothing to claim. Alina Hart never imagined her life would become bound to the Vaughn dynasty, Atheria’s most powerful family, where legacy mattered more than love. To the Vaughn's, she was simply the bride chosen for Sebastian, a match arranged for convenience. And to Sebastian Vaughn himself, she was a responsibility he accepted out of duty, not desire. Until one night changed everything. The only night he ever dropped his guard, and the only night she believed they had a future. By morning, he called it a mistake. By evening, a betrayal had a name: Natasha Fairfax, the socialite his mother loved, ready to take the place Alina never really had. Alina left, vanishing into the town of Marlowe. She soon learned she hadn't just left a husband; she was pregnant with the heir the Vaughn's would one day come for. Six years later, she returns. She is no longer the discarded wife, but a strong woman with her own power, her own name... and a secret that could destroy their empire. The Vaughn's want their legacy. Sebastian wants the truth. Natasha still wants her place. Alina wants only one thing: to protect what is hers. Their dynasty demanded an heir... she became their reckoning.
