The Predator Fiancée

Seven years ago, I broke his heart to save his life. I just didn't realize he’d grow up to be the man who owns mine. Ethan Hawke wasn't always the "Ice King of Manhattan." Once, he was just the boy from the wrong side of the tracks who promised me the world. But I left him in the middle of a winter storm, taking a secret with me that changed everything. Now, he’s back. He’s no longer that boy. He’s a billionaire predator with a memory like a steel trap and a heart made of frost. When my father’s debts come due, Ethan is the one holding the check. But the price isn't money. It’s me. The Deal: Move into his penthouse. Wear his ring. Play the happy fiancée until Valentine’s Day. The Catch: He hasn't just been waiting for me. He’s been watching me. As the line between his revenge and his obsession blurs, I realize the "Dirty Secret" isn't the fake engagement. It’s that even after all the pain, his touch is the only thing that makes me feel alive. But when the gala lights go down, I have to decide: Can I love the man who is determined to ruin me? And more importantly... what will he do when he finds out the secret I’ve been keeping for seven years?

Elle pensait ne passer qu’un simple entretien d’embauche. Lui ne cherchait pas une assistante… mais un moyen de régler un problème bien plus personnel. Alaya, jeune femme ambitieuse mais ruinée par les dettes laissées par son père, se présente dans la luxueuse tour d’Aiden Kane, PDG froid, impitoyable et connu pour ne jamais mêler affaires et sentiments. Mais ce jour-là, il lui propose un contrat inattendu : jouer le rôle de sa fiancée pendant un an pour le sauver d’un mariage arrangé imposé par son conseil d’administration. En échange, il remboursera toutes ses dettes et lui garantira une carrière dans son entreprise. Entre voyages d’affaires aux quatre coins du monde, soirées mondaines où chaque geste est scruté, et un milliardaire qui semble cacher plus de blessures que de richesses, Alaya découvre que ce contrat pourrait bien lui coûter plus que son cœur… et que dans ce jeu dangereux, rompre l’accord pourrait être la plus grave des erreurs.

Elliot Sinclair has it all—money, power, a picture-perfect fiancée, and the eyes of the world watching his every move. But behind closed doors, his life is anything but perfect. Because Elliot is in love. With Jonah Hartfield. A man. Jonah is everything Elliot shouldn't want—fierce, reckless, possessive. Their affair is a powder keg of passion and danger, one kiss away from destruction. The world can't know. His family can't know. And Clara, the woman he’s supposed to marry for the cameras, definitely can’t know. But Jonah is done playing games. He doesn’t care about appearances. He doesn’t care about the cameras. He just wants Elliot. Completely. And he’s not interested in sharing. When jealousy boils over and secrets get harder to hide, Elliot is forced to choose: keep pretending for the world—or burn it all down for the man he can’t live without.

After they pulled me out of the surf, my fiancé, Milo Schneider, looked wrecked—eyes red, breathing all over the place. On impulse, I decided to mess with him. "I think I lost my memory. Where am I?" I kept my face blank. He froze for a second, then shoved his brother, Sean Schneider, toward me. "Sean, take your fiancée to the hospital—now." Yeah. That smile on my face? Gone. Sean pulled me into his arms. "Abigail, I'm your fiancé. Did you forget?"

On my wedding day, my fiancée's adopted younger brother, Jason Sanders, suddenly stood up to toast us as we were exchanging rings. "The first toast is for my sister. She gave herself to me last night so that I wouldn't feel insecure, making me her first man." After he said that, he kissed my fiancée, ignoring the strange looks from everyone. "The second toast is for my brother-in-law. Don't be fooled by my sister's usual aloof demeanor around you; she's actually very passionate in bed. Even though you're impotent, you've still struck gold." My fiancée, Wendy Sanders, covered his mouth in a hurry and tried to laugh it off. "He’s just rambling because he's drunk. Just ignore him." But Jason broke free from Wendy and looked at me challengingly. "The third toast is for everyone. Since Wendy is getting married today, I would like to personally put the ring on her finger. I'm sure no one has any objections, right?"

Je remonte l'allée vers l'homme que j'aime depuis toujours. Il porte un smoking noir et arbore un sourire ravageur. Son regard ténébreux me dévore des yeux, me promettant une lune de miel inoubliable. Tout est magnifique. C'est le moment dont j'ai toujours rêvé. C'est presque parfait, sauf que Wyatt James n'est pas mon fiancé et que ce n'est pas mon mariage. C'est celui de ma sœur jumelle. Nous avons échangé nos places toute notre vie, mais je n'aurais jamais imaginé qu'elle irait aussi loin. Et une fois que j'aurai dit oui, il n'y aura plus de retour en arrière.

After agreeing to a marriage alliance to save her family from bankruptcy, Jessica goes to Las Vegas for her bachelorette party, but the next morning she wakes up in bed with an older arrogant but undeniably sexy man who tells her they got married the night before. He wants to keep her but she has to go back to marry her fiancée in order to protect her best friend’s secrets. But how can she marry her fiancée when she is already married. And what happens when her sexy one night stand comes to claim her and she finds out he is her groom’s uncle!

On our wedding day, my fiancée humiliated me in front of everyone. She postponed the ceremony, not for an emergency, but to throw a lavish wedding for her childhood friend's pet hamster. Dressed in my tailored suit, I got shoved off the stage and was laughed at by everyone. My mom couldn't take the humiliation. Her heart gave out, and no ambulance could save her. Days after we buried her, my fiancée reappeared, demanding that I donate a kidney to that friend. The surgery nearly killed me, leaving me broken and betrayed. It prompted me to end things with her. She spiraled into regret, tormenting herself to win me back.

I was scrolling through reddit when I came across a post seeking advice. The poster said he had HIV but was hiding it from his fiancée. The post had tens of thousands of likes. Intrigued, I clicked to read more. As I went through the details, I realized—why did his description of the fiancée sound so much like me?
