“I do not need you to love me.” He rebuts coldly. “I need you to marry me.” “I do not want to, Mr Bolt.” I reiterate in case the stubborn asshole hadn’t understood my view on the subject. “I believe you think you have a choice in the matter.” He smiles wolfishly. “Marry me or I’ll let those wolves have a field day with tearing your company from your hands.” “I would rather take my chances with them than you.” He smirks, stepping close enough that his sandalwood scent wraps me in a cloud I wasn’t eager to escape. “Marriage to me wouldn’t be so bad as you well know it.” He smirked running an eye up and down my body. “I’ll keep your days busy with clients and your nights very warm.” *** Maria Belluci had lived a rather peaceful life as the daughter of one of London’s elite businessmen but she had her carefully organized life torn away from her when she found her half-sister in bed with her fiancé a few weeks before their wedding. Distraught, she had a one-night stand with the famed billionaire CEO Sebastian Bolt and left before he could wake up. She decided to leave her family, who had sided with her half-sister and everything associated with them, behind to start over, but her story was far from over as this gripping tale of passion, desire, and betrayal spun her into the arms of Sebastian again. Would they overcome all odds stacked against them or would their romance shatter under the weight of adversity?

I had just gotten hospitalization prior to my operation when my wife told me she was going on an urgent business trip, leaving me and our one-year-old daughter behind. Two days later, her childhood sweetheart proudly posted a family photo on social media with a caption that said: “Took a picture of our happy family of three on our trip!” I looked at my wife who was smiling tenderly in the picture and commented, “?” My wife immediately called and berated me, “He's a single father who doesn’t have a wife to help take care of his child! All I did was take a picture with them, what are you being so defensive about?” That same evening, her childhood sweetheart posted a picture of a million-dollar dowry given to him with the caption: “After we took the picture, she insisted on giving me this as a dowry.” I knew my wife gave it to him to appease him. But this time, I was going to leave her for good.

Ang maging chef ang pinaka pangarap ni Everlee Moore talaga. Lahat na kasi meron siya kaya nakatutok lang siya sa pangarap niya. Sa ikakasiya niya. Pinanganak siyang may gintong kutsara na sa bibig. Hindi na niya kailangang magtrabaho din sa kumpanya nila dahil nandyan naman ang mga kapatid niya. Gustong-gusto niyang magluto. Para sa kanya, food is life. At iyon ang naging dahilan para mag-enroll siya sa isang cooking school sa England. Dalawang school iyon. Isa sa Bedfordshire, kung saan kasalukuyang Duke si Davey Kristoff or DK Ward Collin. Matalik na makaibigan ang pamilya nila. Kaya humingi siya nang tulong dito nang mawala ang bagahe niya sa airport. Walang natirang gamit sa kanya at walang naibalik. Kinupkop siya nito at pinatira sa palasyong tinitirhan nito. Hindi pwedeng malaman ng magulang niya ang nangyari sa kanya, dahil baka pababalikin siya ng mga ito sa Pilipinas. Kaya inilihim nila ni DK ang lahat. Pero hindi akalain ni Everlee na may mabubuong pagmamahalan sa kanila ni DK habang nasa poder siya nito. Akala niya dahil sa utang na loob lang kaya siya pumayag na maging Duchess ng Bedford. No. Mahal na pala niya si DK. Ngunit isang aksidente ang pumutol sa pagmamahalang iyon. Hindi siya maalala ni DK na pinakasalan siya nito. Dahil sa respeto nito umano sa magulang at kapatid niya, dinivorce siya nito bago pa malaman ng pamilya niya. Kaya nang muli silang magkita sa Pilipinas, tanging sambit lang ni Everlee sa sarili sa tuwing nakikita si DK, she once married that Duke…

Zoé Marchand, ancienne journaliste reconvertie en traductrice free-lance, emménage dans la résidence privée Les Ormes le jour même où son ex-mari vient lui présenter sa remplaçante. L'humiliation est publique. La soirée ne peut qu'aller mieux. Elle a tort. À minuit, elle entend un grognement au-dessus d'elle. Animal. Pas humain. Et son voisin du dessus Damien Reyer, taiseux, yeux ambre, qui sent l'orage et le bois de cèdre est sur son palier en sang avec des blessures qui cicatrisent sous ses yeux. Ce serait le moment de fermer sa porte et d'oublier ce qu'elle a vu. Zoé Marchand n'a jamais su faire ça. Ce qui suit est l'histoire d'une femme qui pose trop de questions, d'un loup qui en a une de trop à dissimuler, et d'une résidence de banlieue parisienne où les apéros du jeudi ne sont pas du tout ce qu'ils prétendent être.

Son père, le souverain Alrakis, insiste pour qu'il se marie afin de renforcer son pouvoir, mais Eltanin refuse catégoriquement, révolté par l’idée d'une union forcée. Cependant, lors d'un bal somptueux, Eltanin rencontre une mystérieuse jeune femme en robe blanche, qui l'attire irrésistiblement. Ses pensées tournent autour d'elle, bien plus que des intrigues de cour ou des manœuvres politiques. Au même moment, des forces obscures se réveillent : Felis, un ennemi redoutable, met en danger son royaume et sa propre survie. Lors de cette même soirée, la princesse Eri d’Éridan tente de manipuler Eltanin en l’empoisonnant pour qu’il la choisisse comme compagne, mais son désir se porte entièrement sur la mystérieuse inconnue.

Cependant, son secret est bientôt menacé : Petra, une autre princesse, manipule la situation pour contrer les plans de ses rivales. La jeune femme, Tania, lutte pour se libérer des griffes de ses oppresseurs, mais des forces plus grandes qu’elle semblent contrôler son destin. Alors que la tension monte, Eltanin se retrouve face à un dilemme moral. D’un côté, il doit répondre aux exigences de son père et du royaume, et de l'autre, il est emporté par des pulsions animales et une obsession grandissante pour Tania.

Elle est liée à des forces qu’elle ne comprend pas complètement, et elle se retrouve prise dans un jeu de pouvoir où sa survie est en jeu.

Lyra n’était qu’une anomalie aux yeux de la meute — une métamorphe née sans loup, condamnée à survivre dans un monde où la force définit la valeur. Le soir où elle devait devenir Luna, son fiancé Killian la rejette publiquement pour protéger son pouvoir, la livrant à l’exil et à une mort certaine sous la pleine lune.

After dying suddenly from overwork, I found myself transmigrated into the life of a fake heiress who had been cast out of her wealthy family. While the real heiress reclaimed the life that had once been mine, I decided to leave the drama behind. Armed with my savings, I embraced a carefree lifestyle, swapping boyfriends every three days and living for the moment. Then, two months later, life hit me with a curveball—I discovered I was pregnant. The problem? I had no idea who the father was. With no choice, I approached the three powerful CEOs I had been involved with, each more arrogant and competitive than the last. What followed was a 10-billion-dollar bet by each of the three over who the father might be, with me caught in the middle. "I bet the baby belongs to all three of you," I teased, only for them to roll their eyes and dismiss me as ridiculous. Even so, when I gave birth to triplets, their argument outside the delivery room went viral, sending the internet into a frenzy and turning my life—and theirs—into a spectacle.

"Wider, Millie. Yes, that's it." I lay weakly on the examination table, my hands unconsciously gripping the sheets. The voice behind me was low and restrained, but it made my ears burn. This examination position was too embarrassing. My buttocks were forced to arch high like some kind of submissive gesture. "Doctor, I can't open any wider..." I bit my lower lip, my voice trembling deliberately. I could see my reflection in the metal bars of the examination table. My messy hair stuck to my flushed cheeks as my eyes shone with a watery, dreamy glow.
