The One Where No Ones Ready

Natasha, daughter of a wealthy former mafia boss thought her life was going well until she caught her boyfriend cheating on her. Feeling angry and hurt, she went to a bar, drank herself to stupor and ended up spending the night with a stranger. She didn’t see his face—only a tattoo on his chest. She went back home and found out her father was in trouble. The only available option to help him was to marry Liam—the son of her father's former colleague. She didn’t know he was the same stranger from that night. He knew because he recognised her immediately, but he didn’t tell her. Later, she found out she was pregnant. She told her best friend, Ashley, who took her to a doctor to secretly end the pregnancy. But the doctor was Liam’s best friend. He later started blackmailing her with it for his own selfish gain, after he found out she was married to his friend. Ashley later turned against her. Natasha was sad and confused, but things changed when Ashley came back and confessed everything about how she was the one behind everything. Liam found out the truth, protected Natasha, and punished those who hurt her. In the end, they decided to forget the past and build a real marriage with trust and love.

Maya is twenty four, independent and very good at keeping people at a comfortable distance. After a night she never planned with a stranger she never expected, she does what she always does — she leaves before morning and tells herself it is finished. It is not finished. The stranger is Caleb Reed, her brother Derek's best friend, and he has just moved back to Chicago. He knew who Maya was from the moment he saw her at the party. He said nothing. Now they are forced into the same orbit — family dinners, group hangouts, shared spaces — pretending a night that changed everything never happened at all. The tension between them builds slowly and then all at once. A secret relationship begins. Feelings neither of them planned for take root. But the closer Maya gets to Caleb the more unsettled her world becomes, because Derek is not handling any of it the way a brother should. His anger runs too deep. His protectiveness feels like something else entirely. When Derek finally explodes and the truth comes out, it reshapes everything. Maya was adopted. Derek has known for years. And the feelings he buried under a lifetime of playing the protective older brother were never entirely brotherly at all. Maya is left to grieve an identity she thought she knew, forgive people she loves for lying, and face a love that was built on a secret. In the end she has to decide who she is without the version of her life she always believed in — and whether Caleb, the man who knew her before she knew the truth, is the one she wants to walk into whatever comes next. She chooses him. Not because it is easy. Because one night was never going to be enough.

Akala ko dati ay masaya maging Private Investigator, na magiging bongga ang buhay mo at makakapag suot ka ng magagarang damit. Pero nagkamali ako dahil gaya ngayon, daig ko pa ang babaeng nagbebenta ng laman sa suot ko para lang makahuli ng mga lalaking may asawa na pero nambababae pa din. Pero dahil isa akong single mom, wala akong magagawa kundi -pagtiyagaan ang trabahong ito para mabuhay kaming mag ina. Nang umupo ako sa mataas na upuan sa bar, I saw him. This hot stranger. Kakaiba ito sa lahat, charming, at parang akala mo lumabas ito sa isang movie at lalapit sayo para mag-pakilala. I can’t resist his charms, wala sa ugali ko ang hindi makapag pigil pero hindi ko kayang labanan ang atraksyon ko sa kanya and it led to a passionate night. Wala akong balak na makita pa siyang muli, pero, mukhang ang tadhana ay may ibang plano para sa amin. He turned out to be my child’s pedia. At nalaman ko ring anak ito ng isa sa mga makapangyarihang tao na isa sa mga iniimbestigahan ko. Everything seemed so fast that it became hot and complicated all at the same time.

Kane guided me onto all fours, positioning me between his brother's thighs. My face was inches from Kade's throbbing length, and I didn't hesitate, I leaned forward and took him into my mouth. "Fuck," Kade groaned, his hand tangling in my hair as I swirled my tongue around the tip. He was huge, stretching my lips wide, but I took him deeper, hollowing my cheeks and bobbing my head. Behind me, Kane shed his clothes, his body a mirror of Kade's, broad shoulders, rippling muscles, and a cock just as impressive. He knelt on the bed, his hands gripping my ass cheeks, spreading them apart. "Such a pretty pussy," he murmured, his breath hot against my skin. Then his tongue was there, lapping at me from behind, long, flat strokes that had me moaning around Kade's cock. Kane ate me out like a starving man, his tongue delving deep, flicking my clit before sucking it into his mouth. His fingers dug into my flesh, holding me steady as I rocked back against his face.

On the night my dad kicked me out, I drank too much and slept with my “brother” It was a one night mistake. Yet, he proposed and claimed me as his mate, his luna. When I woke up, my mom's body was cold. The color was drained from her half-opened eyes, and I could see no signs of life. My father told me that she purposely drank poison to kill herself. But that was a lie. My mother would never kill herself; she would never leave me. That night imprisoned me. - “It wasn’t a mistake,” “What are you talking about, Jonathan?” I asked him. “Arina, you are my mate. You were born to be my luna,” he said. His face showed no signs of humor. “I wasn’t born to be anybody’s luna,” I shot back. “Arina, I love you…” he spoke softly, still staring into my eyes. I could feel the wolf in me stirring; something that I had never felt before. She was awakening; the fire that burned so deep inside of me was beginning to flare. “Love?” I heard myself saying. “There’s no such thing as love…” After everything I knew about “love”, what my mother went through when she married my father, love didn’t exist. “Give me a chance to prove you wrong. Marry me.”
