Rachel Reads

Charlene, beautiful and elegant, suffered abuse in the hands of her foster family, her aunt and uncle after the death of her parents. Tired of the unending circle of torture, she packs up one day after she turned sixteen and ran off on her own. She had to do odd jobs, including regularly donating her blood to make some amount of money to take care of herself. On one of her regular trips to donate her blood, Charlene ends up in more trouble than she bargained for, getting herself entangled with the most ruthless billionaires in the country. Noah Cooper, the masked billionaire, is a name that many respect and fear. No one knows why he wears a mask, and those who dared to ask, ended up begging with their lives to be forgiven. He is ruthless, unforgiving and a silent poison, not one to be messed with. He hates women, and avoids them like a plague, but why? What happens when these two polar opposites meet? And what happens when they discover they're about to be parents in the most odd way possible?

Ariel is a kind, beautiful girl who has just turned twenty. All her life, she believed that her younger brother was dead but everything changed the day that he parents broke it to her that he was still alive. As if that wasn't shocking enough, her brother had been in the custody of a Mafia boss and her parents planned to exchange him for her. Miguel is a ruthless mafia lord who only knows three things— money, power and sex. Love? That's not a word in his dictionary. He fucks any girl he chooses until they give up and can't take it anymore. He was a beast and Ariel was his newest catch. What happens when the innocent Ariel clashes with the hot and dangerously tempting Miguel and they both realize that they may have gotten more than they bargained for? What happens when a brutal past comes knocking again? Threatening to tear down and destroy? Betrayal and lust is the order of the day. Will love prevail? Or will it tear them down completely?

"Do you know what would happen if your daughter finds me naked in your bed?" I trail my fingers along his hard chest, not breaking the gaze. "Mmm." He hums, his hand gripping my waist tighter. I gasp, arching my back. "Tell me all about it," he mumbles against my ear, "while I drive my cock deep into that waiting cunt of yours." ..... Juniper was used to lonely Christmas holidays in her little apartment, but everything changes when her best friend invites her to spend the holidays with her family. When she agrees to do it, she gets way more than she bargained for, especially her best friend's brooding but irresistible father... Dante. Now, she must fight her complex feelings for Dante, knowing that it was forbidden to have anything to do with him.

How will Juniper navigate all of this while still trying to keep the magic of Christmas alive?

A few weeks before our wedding, Rodney Luther's stepmother, Jessica Flaine, posts a photo on her social media. In the photo, she's wearing the wedding dress I picked out, holding a bouquet of red roses, and shyly leaning toward Rodney, asking for a kiss. The caption reads—"Dreams fulfilled." I don't call Rodney in tears or throw a fit like I used to. I simply like the post and leave a comment. "Screenshot sent to Rodney's father." Not long after, Jessica deletes the post, and Rodney's phone call follows immediately. "Ivana, you're being so petty! The rest of my days belong to you. It's only today that I'm fulfilling a small dream of Jessica's. Hurry up and explain things to my dad! "Come on, be good. I've got a gift for you." A scoff escapes me. "Rodney, do you hear me clearly? Go explain it to your father yourself!"

On my fifth birthday with Zachary Murdock, I sit once again in front of a full table of cold food, just like every year before. Zachary had promised, as always, to spend the day with me. And, as always, he breaks that promise. This year, it's because his childhood sweetheart wanted to shoot a set of "artistic photos". She invited him and a few of his close buddies to be part of it. Without hesitation, he ditches me again and runs straight into her arms. At 11:00 pm, his childhood sweetheart posts a photo to her social media and sets it so that only I can see it. In the picture, four men are in nothing but black briefs and Windsor-knotted ties. They kneel around her while she is draped in sheer fabric like a goddess. The caption reads, "Some people beg for crumbs, but I own the entire bakery." I take a screenshot. Then, I send it to the girlfriends of all three of Zachary’s best buddies. If they all look down on me this much, let's hope they don't end up on their knees begging me someday.

Alpha Damian is a ruthless and merciless leader. He rules with an iron fist. Forgiveness is not his concept. He has waited for his mate for three decades, but when he has met her, he has been disappointed. On a journey to another land, he caught the scent of his mate, but was confused between Princess Alpha and a common servant. He prayed to the Moon Goddess that Princess Alpha was his mate, but was disappointed to find that it was a servant with a curse. He wanted to make his life a living hell, believing that such a servant was not meant for him. When he took her and brought her back to his group, she spent most of her days locked in her room doing the few tasks he gave her. In addition, Alpha accepted a consummated marriage to Princess Alpha to cover up the shame of being mated to a servant cursed with ugliness. This broke the heart of Nadlyn, who believed that Alpha Damian would one day love her. Alpha Damian, on the other hand, has great feelings of desire and love for Nadlyn, but he is stubborn and willing to do anything to fight her because he cannot see the ugly half of Nadlyn's face. Nadlyn eventually befriends Damian's Alpha Mother, who turns out to be a kind-hearted woman, unlike her son. Damian's Alpha Mother loved Nadlyn more than Rachel, the Alpha Princess Damian was going to marry. Nadlyn's life is made even more miserable when Rachel deliberately gets her into trouble and burdens her with humiliating tasks. She feels betrayed when her mate chooses to watch while another woman makes her life a living hell. One day, when Damian learns who Nadlyn really is: Will he love her?

Ma sœur jumelle Rachel et moi avions épousé des frères jumeaux d'une famille mafieuse : elle avait épousé l'aîné Léon, un juge fédéral, tandis que j'étais mariée au cadet Max, chirurgien. Lorsque j'étais hospitalisée pour préserver ma grossesse, des ravisseurs m'ont kidnappée et séquestrée pour demander une rançon. Ils ont utilisé mon téléphone pour contacter Max, mais leurs trente-deux appels étaient tous rejetés. Furieux, l'un d'eux m'a frappée violemment le ventre avec une batte de baseball. J'ai tenté de protéger mon bébé, mais je l'ai perdu malgré tout. Les ravisseurs ont persisté à appeler Max. Lorsqu'il a répondu enfin, il a crié : « Annie a failli faire une fausse couche, je l'accompagne juste à un examen ! Cesse de m'harceler pour attirer mon attention ! » Ne parvenant pas à obtenir la rançon, les ravisseurs, humiliés, m'ont ligotée et m'ont jetée dans une piscine avant de s'enfuir. Alors que j'étais sur le point de me noyer, Rachel est arrivée à mon secours. Voyant que j'avais perdu mon bébé et manqué de mourir noyée, elle a appelé immédiatement Léon. Mais seule sa messagerie vocale a répondu : « Bonjour, c'est Léon. Je m'occupe en ce moment de ceux qui ont failli tuer Annie. On en reparle plus tard. » Quand elle a voulu appeler la police, son téléphone a rendu l'âme, à court de batterie. Et elle a dû me conduire en voiture. Sur le chemin du retour, une tempête de neige soudaine a provoqué un glissement de terrain. La voiture est tombée en panne dans ces conditions extrêmes, et nous sommes restées coincées, grelottant de froid. Heureusement, des gardes forestiers nous ont découvertes à temps, nous sauvant d'une mort glaciale. À notre réveil à l'hôpital, Rachel et moi avaient la même réaction : nous allions demander le divorce !

I'm in the hills for a project inspection when a sudden downpour hits. I lose my footing and tumble down a steep slope. Lying in a pool of blood, I fumble for my phone and call my husband, Joel Grant, who's supposed to be nearby. "Rachel has anxiety. I only brought her back to her hometown to help her unwind. Can you stop being so paranoid and jealous for once? You're due in two weeks. I'll be there, okay? Just behave." In the background, I hear Rachel giggle softly. "The models have to be in their birthday suit for sketching, right?" Joel hangs up without another word. My sister-in-law—and best friend—Chloe Murphy finds me. She's sobbing as she cradles me, desperately trying to call her husband, Michael Grant, for help. "Are all pregnant women insane these days?" Michael snaps. "Don't start with the same manipulative crap as Anna. Joel and I are busy modeling for Rachel. We don't have time for your petty dramas." Then he blocks her. My injuries are too severe. There's no way help will arrive in time. Despite being heavily pregnant herself, Chloe hoists me onto her back and carries me down the mountain to the nearest hospital. Somehow, I survive. My baby doesn't. Chloe, devastated and physically pushed past her limits, loses her child too. "I want a divorce," I whisper with my eyes swollen from crying. "Me too. I'm done with Michael." We filed for divorce together. That's when Joel and Michael finally lose their minds.
