Piercing Perut

He demoted me. Humiliated me. Made my life a living hell. And now, he's claimed me as his. When ruthless billionaire Nathan Bryant bought the company I worked for, I became his favorite target. One day I had a promotion waiting—the next, I was nothing but a data entry clerk beneath his cold, piercing gaze. I should have quit. I should have run away and never looked back. But I couldn't afford to. So I stayed, enduring his cruelty, surviving his games... until the night everything changed. The night he saved me. The night he kissed me like I was the only thing keeping him alive. Now I'm trapped between his arms and his secrets, drowning in a love I never saw coming. There was just one tiny problem: He's the stepbrother of my best friend—the girl who was betrayed by his family. Loving him means losing her forever. And when the war for control turns deadly, I'm caught in the crossfire. But will our love be enough to survive the wreckage? Or will we both burn in the flames of forbidden desire?

Aku selalu hidup dalam bayang-bayang kakakku, Nadina. Dia adalah wanita yang sejak kecil selalu diperlakukan bak permata oleh para pewaris keluarga mafia. Dia tidak tahu bahwa aku telah terlahir kembali. Sama seperti kehidupan sebelumnya, dia tersenyum lembut dan manis, membiarkan aku memilih calon pasangan pernikahan lebih dulu. Seolah-olah dia begitu pengertian dan berbesar hati. Namun, kali ini aku menolak. Di kehidupan lalu, dengan polosnya aku percaya bahwa dia bermaksud baik. Aku menikah dengan lelaki yang direkomendasikannya, Darel. Darel adalah seorang pewaris yang konon lumpuh setelah diserang dalam sebuah penyergapan. Aku melepaskan hak untuk mewarisi keluarga, menjadi perawatnya, menjadi tongkatnya, dan menjadi obat yang mengusir kesepiannya. Namun, sebanyak apa pun kehangatan yang kuberikan, aku tetap tidak mampu mencairkan hatinya. Hingga hari perayaan kehamilan kakakku, kebenaran itu tersingkap dengan nyata di hadapanku. Saat seorang pembunuh dari keluarga musuh mengarahkan senjata ke perut kakakku, lelaki yang bertahun-tahun tidak pernah berdiri itu tiba-tiba bangkit. Dia mendorongku ke arah moncong senjata itu. Tujuh peluru menembus rahimku. Di detik terakhir ketika aku jatuh, aku melihat dia memeluk Nadina dengan erat dan menggunakan tubuhnya untuk melindungi Nadina dari peluru terakhir. Saat itulah, aku akhirnya mengerti. Dia tidak pernah lumpuh. Dia juga tidak pernah ditinggalkan oleh keluarganya. Karena Nadina memilih pria lain, dia berpura-pura sakit agar tidak perlu menikah denganku. "Maaf, Ravina, aku menipumu. Tapi aku nggak bisa membiarkan Nadina kehilangan pewaris di kandungannya." "Utangku padamu ... akan kubayar di kehidupan berikutnya." Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari ketika ayahku menuntut kami memilih calon pasangan pernikahan. Kali ini, aku tidak memilih siapa pun. Namun, malah merekalah yang memohon mendapatkan cintaku.

Chloe was just 16 when her parents woke her in the middle of the night with their screams. When she went to see what was wrong there was a tall figure in the dark, standing on its hind legs yet looked like a beast with piercing amber eyes staring down at her parent before slashing though them. Chloe screamed and when they caught eyes something screamed to her to "RUN". So she ran, out the back door and into the woods behind her house. The voice in her head screaming to her to keep running and so she did, as fast as she could without looking back. Suddenly she could hear something running towards her, getting closer and closer till she was finally caught.

He looked down to her, brushing her hair from her face, lifting her and carrying her to the pack doctor. He could sense her wolf but was unsure of where she had come from.
