She's So Gone By Naomi Scott

During the biggest sales day of the year, my fiance's "sweet and clueless" assistant sells a one-carat diamond for one cent. In just 20 minutes, the company loses 200 million dollars. I am so furious that my entire body shakes, yet Hendrick Shaw, my fiance, pulls me into his arms and comforts me, "Don't worry. I'll handle it." However, that same night, Selena Suther posts a screenshot on social media—a transfer of 1,430,000 dollars, with the recipient note saying "I love you." The caption attached to the screenshot is "I made a huge mistake today, but my boss comforted me instead. He even reminded me not to be angry at the 'tigress' and to be good." I comment on her post, "I wish you both happiness forever." Selena instantly deletes the post, but Hendrick abruptly charges in and lands a resounding slap on my cheek. "What's your motive for liking Lena's post? She's now so overcome by guilt and shame that she's about to end her life! "The company only lost 200 million dollars. Do you have to force her into a corner over it?" He sounds so righteous and fearless. Later, why does Hendrick cry when he can't even afford a 20-dollar meal?

"This is all your fault!" he seethes. His eyes ablaze, I could feel his rage creeping up my skin and leaving goosebumps behind. "We never should have met. You should never have gone down that alley, and we would never have met. I should have just listened to Marco and killed you." "I should never have taken you to... to..." his voice trails off as his expression mirrors that of anguish. He is in pain and it's all my fault. A knot forms in my throat as I attempt to reach out and touch him, to tell him that I had meant no harm. But for some reason, when I opened my mouth, nothing came out. It was as if I had suddenly lost my ability to speak. ***** Alessia Di Napoli accidentally witnessed a murder in an alley on her way back from work on a rainy night.

Alessia is thrown into the dangerous world of these Mafia Lords, and she gets a private insight into the life of Dante Marino.

The day my father dies, my boyfriend, Heath Summers, is accompanying his true love for her prenatal checkup. I lose hope in him and ask for a breakup, but he thinks I'm just being jealous.

I've been with him for seven years, but it turns out I can't compare to his childhood sweetheart.

Unemotional. Heartless. That is what people see when they look at Veronica Beckett. A cold, calculating heiress who feels nothing. She has never given them a reason to think otherwise. Only a few know the truth: Veronica carries her late husband’s heart, a constant reminder of the accident that killed him. When her company begins to collapse, she turns to the only solution she believes she can control, a strategic marriage to stabilize her empire before it falls apart. She proposes it to the one man who hates her most. Alden Sterling, a powerful billionaire who has every reason to want her destroyed. And he accepts. But not for the reasons she expects. Alden believes Veronica is responsible for his brother’s death, that her inability to love drove him to the decisions that cost him his life. This marriage isn’t just business. It’s revenge. It’s his chance to keep her close and make her feel everything she once denied. But the longer they are bound together, the harder it becomes to hold onto that hatred. What begins as a strategic arrangement shifts into something neither of them intended. The lines between resentment, obsession, and desire begin to blur. Veronica is forced to confront emotions she has spent a lifetime suppressing and a truth about herself she has never been ready to face. At the same time, the truth about the accident begins to surface, and the man behind it all has been watching. Now, Veronica must choose: Walk away and carry a guilt that was never hers. Or stay and risk everything for the man who married her to destroy her.
