I took my in-laws to our place for Christmas without telling my wife. It was supposed to be a surprise, but the moment George, my father-in-law, stepped into the house, my wife's assistant shoved him. He crashed into the shoe cabinet and threw out his back. "Ms. Sampson's villa doesn't let homeless people in. I can't believe you're her father-in-law. Look at you. Even a homeless guy wears better than you." I told the maid to hold George, but the male assistant stopped me again. He even shoved my mother-in-law, Diane. "You think you own this place? That's Ms. Sampson's maid. It's enough she has to serve a leech like you. You don't get to make her serve your parents." The fury consumed Diane whole, and she had a heart attack. I called my wife and asked her to come to the hospital. Wendy Sampson, however, shrugged it off. Scoffing, she said, "Zack told me everything. I can't believe you brought your parents to my house! And you want me to see your mother? She's faking her heart attack! I know she is! I want them out of my house! So what if they die? Best Christmas gift I could ever hope for."

Mon mari a vendu mon corps pour effacer ses dettes, mais il ne m'avait pas prévenue que l'acheteur exigerait aussi mon âme. « Déshabille-toi. » ​C’est par cet ordre glacial, jeté dans la pénombre d'une suite de luxe, que ma nouvelle vie a commencé. Pour sauver l’entreprise de mon mari et payer les soins de ma fille dont la vie ne tient qu’à un fil, j'ai accepté l'inacceptable. Je me suis offerte à Julian Vane, l'homme dont le nom fait trembler la finance et dont le sang appartient à la mafia. ​Chaque jour, je subis le mépris de ses ordres dans la lumière crue de l'entreprise. Je suis la secrétaire parfaite, celle qui baisse les yeux et note ses exigences sans ciller. Mais chaque nuit, je succombe à la chaleur de ses mains dans l'ombre de son bureau. Il m'humilie par ses demandes, me brise par son silence de prédateur, mais mon corps traître s'embrase au moindre de ses contacts. Sous ses doigts, ma peau devient sa propriété, et mes gémissements de honte se transforment en cris de plaisir que je ne peux plus étouffer.​Je suis prisonnière d'un homme qui m'utilise comme un trophée secret, un jouet qu'il façonne à sa guise. Je pensais pouvoir supporter ce calvaire pendant deux ans. Je pensais pouvoir garder mon cœur à l'abri derrière le rempart de mon mariage. Mais alors que son union arrangée avec une héritière de la mafia approche, mon monde s'écroule à nouveau. Je découvre que je porte l'enfant de mon maître, l'héritier secret de celui qui me traite comme un objet de désir.

On the day of my wedding, I stood on the stage, while my fiance, Jake Stevens, passionately kissed his assistant, Chloe Xanders, in front of everyone. He held her in his arms and said earnestly, “Chloe, don’t worry. Even though you’re not my bride, you’ll always have a place in my heart.” Chloe, who was overwhelmed with emotion, threw herself into his arms and wept as she said to me, “Lily, Jake and I are deeply in love, but fate just didn’t work out for us in this life. Please take good care of him.” Gossip instantly spread around us. Just as I was feeling helpless, my fiance humiliated me further and called me nothing more than a doormat. Watching the two of them clinging to each other, I could not take it anymore. I canceled the wedding on the spot and left for abroad the same night to join my best friend. The next time I met Jack, I had already moved on with someone new. When he saw me interlocking my fingers with my new love and kissing him passionately, his eyes instantly filled with burning jealousy.

Depois de cinco anos fazendo o papel de esposa‑modelo da família Mesquita, Lyra Santiago finalmente caiu em si no dia em que a filha completou um mês de vida. O marido, Valentino Mesquita, tinha reservado todo o cuidado, toda a proteção e toda a presença para o grande amor do passado dele, enquanto cobrava de Lyra, o tempo todo, que ela fosse madura, sensata e independente. Na frente de todo mundo, ela virou a mesa: — Divórcio! Em cinco anos, pra mim já deu! Ele apenas riu com frieza: — Como é que você também acabou ficando assim, tão vulgar? Mal abre a boca e já fala em divórcio. Só depois que ela sumiu, ele percebeu que o mundo dele tinha desabado de repente e que, sem ela, tudo ao redor começara a emperrar. Três anos depois, eles se reencontraram em uma cúpula internacional. Ela surgiu deslumbrante, já como um dos grandes nomes da arquitetura, e deixou todos boquiabertos. Ele se ajoelhou diante dos holofotes pedindo uma nova chance, mas ela passou ao lado dele, de braço dado com outro homem, apenas com um sorriso nos lábios. Mais tarde, ele recebeu um convite de casamento primorosamente elaborado. Na foto, a noiva de vestido branco estava aninhada nos braços do melhor amigo dele. Ele invadiu a cerimônia, com os olhos injetados de raiva, mas tudo o que ele ouviu foi a voz suave dela dizendo: — Valentino, ser “compreensiva” cansa. Agora eu só quero viver por mim.

During the summer break, I took my daughter, Stella Quinton, to a private beach that I own for some fun and some scuba diving. That's when Felicity Portman, a famous actress, barges into the beach with a group flocking behind her. "This is a private beach that Micah has given me permission to entertain VIP clients at! Hurry up and get lost, you filthy commoners!" The arrogant Felicity has the gall to bring up my husband, Micah Morrison, just to threaten me. When she finds out about my identity, she even makes fun of me for being a useless woman who relies on him for survival. I'm furious, to say the least. As the heiress to the richest family in Seacrest City, how am I a useless woman who relies on men for survival? Also, I'm the one who gave Micah his movie company and all of his resources! But when Micah reaches the beach, he works with Felicity to coerce my darling Stella into putting on a diving performance for a lecherous investor. With a sneer on my face, I summon the Seashark Special Forces, who only take orders from the most elite members of Seacrest City. "Seashark Special Forces, come to Moonrise Bay right now and clear out the area!"

The dormitory entrance downstairs is completely blocked. After squeezing to the front row, a he-wolf from the physical training camp next door points and whistles at me. "Look, that's the Luminian vixen. She's famous for being a notch-collector and will do it with any Alpha." My bed is strewn with rotten meat and animal entrails. On the wall, the words "Harlot", "Floozy", and "Tart" are scrawled in bright red lipstick. Jessica Cobb, the blonde-haired, blue-eyed cheer captain, holds up her phone. "Girls, I really don't want to expose her, but she's just filthy," she says with a face filled with contempt. "She's worse than a dog in heat. On Monday, it was the little hottie with the six-pack abs in his Ferrari. "Wednesday, it was the mature Alpha who reeks of cigars and has eyes that look like they want to devour you in his Bentley. Yesterday, it was that old gentleman with the monocle who's into domination in his Rolls-Royce." She shoves the photos right in the faces of the surrounding women. "Clearly, she didn't come here to study, but to find a sugar daddy." Despite the crystal-clear pictures showing me in those cars, I can't reveal that the men with me are my obsessively controlling older brother, my hot-tempered uncle, and my great-uncle. Respectively, they are the Alpha King of Lumin, the Chief Justice, and the Chair of the Elders' Council. The surrounding male werewolves burst into laughter, their eyes roaming over my thighs. "Hey, Luminian doll, how much for one night? I'd like a taste of you too." They have no idea that these men they're fantasizing about as my sugar daddies are actually the werewolf elders they can least afford to mess with in this lifetime.
