Vincent Edgeworth

Lily Morgan is a 24-year-old woman crushed by her father's suicide and the three million dollar debt he left behind. She lives in a tiny apartment with her disabled younger sister Sophie, working multiple low-wage jobs while loan shark Vincent Shaw threatens them daily. Lily has always been invisible, plain, and suffers from crippling low self-esteem after years of being overlooked and dismissed. She believes she deserves nothing good in life. Alexander Hunt is a 32-year-old hotel magnate, cold and emotionally unavailable after being raised by a stern father who taught him that feelings are weakness. He built his empire through ruthless business decisions and has never let anyone close except his ex-girlfriend Cassandra Vale, who he keeps in his life as his VP and secret lover. His dying grandmother Margaret is his only soft spot, and her final wish is to see him married before she passes.

Assim que engravidei, fui aclamada como a mulher mais preciosa do submundo. Meu marido, o novo Don da família Jenkins, fechou uma ala inteira de um hospital particular para meus exames, enquanto meu pai, o Don dos Collins, convocou todos os chefs com estrelas Michelin de Nova York para a mansão, apenas para que eu pudesse escolher o que desejasse comer. O bebê que eu carregava estava destinado a ser o único herdeiro das duas mais poderosas famílias mafiosas. Mas no dia em que iríamos assinar os papéis garantindo a herança do meu filho, os dois desapareceram. — Surgiu um assunto familiar urgente. — Disse meu marido, Vincent, beijando minha testa. — Podemos finalizar a herança da criança quando voltarmos. Não há pressa. Pouco depois que eles partiram, recebi um link para uma transmissão ao vivo anônima. A voz do meu pai veio do vídeo, mais fria do que eu jamais tinha ouvido. — Você está dizendo que seu contrato de casamento com Evangeline nunca foi válido. Isso não torna a criança uma bastarda? Vincent, relaxado em um clube, soltou um anel de fumaça. Acomodada em seus braços estava minha meia-irmã, Sarah. — Evangeline sempre teve todo o amor e carinho. Seu filho nunca vai precisar de nada. — Sarah foi ridicularizada por seu status durante anos. Preciso consertar as coisas para ela, dar ao nosso filho um nome legítimo. Naquele momento, meu coração se apertou, e eu mal conseguia respirar. Então meu celular vibrou novamente. Era uma mensagem de texto: [Bem-vinda ao lar da família Gallo, minha rainha.] [Só me confirme, e a criança que carrega terá o nome Gallo e se tornará o herdeiro mais poderoso do submundo americano.]

They took everything from me before I was old enough to remember: my name, my family, my life. Raised as the Ashfords’ scapegoat daughter, blamed, beaten, humiliated while my perfect sister shone, I thought I was worthless. Until a masked stranger broke into my father’s study and called me by a name I had forgotten: Celeste. Vincent Torres is everything the Ashfords pretend to be: powerful, untouchable. He says my life with them is a lie. That I was never meant to be theirs. That he can help me take back my name, my inheritance, my future. All I have to do is marry him. A contract. Nothing more. I’ll become the wife my sister always wanted to be. I’ll infiltrate the world that should have been mine. And together, we’ll destroy the family that destroyed me. But somewhere between the contract and the vows, between the lies and the truth, I forgot the most important rule: Never fall for your weapon. Especially when he might be just as broken as I am.

My husband is known as a ruthless CEO, but somehow, he is tender and warm with me. I'm passionate about art restoration, especially antique paintings, so he transforms his private collection room into a professional-grade studio just for me. He even brings in top experts to mentor me. Once, I spent three sleepless nights restoring a rare 12th-century painting. He ends up buying the entire museum that the painting belongs to, just so I can study it without restrictions. To marry me, he goes head-to-head with his powerful family, even stages a hunger strike, until they finally give in. At our engagement party, he gets down on one knee in front of everyone and says, "Ash, you deserve nothing but the best in this world." The ring he designs himself has an engraving on the inside that says, "Art brought us together, love holds us forever." Everyone says Vincent Hawthorn loves me like a maniac, and I believe it—until I restore one of his late mother's paintings…

"I was the girl they threw to the wolves. I returned as the Queen who leads them." One minute, Emma Belle was a nameless Omega servant. The next, she was a broken soul, publicly rejected and hunted by her fated mate, Caleb. But her death sentence became her awakening. Fleeing into the Forbidden Forest, Emma is rescued by the four most dangerous Alphas in the world—Damon, Nathaniel, Vincent, and the rebellious, golden-eyed Félix. They don’t see a defect; they see a legend. Emma is the last of the White Queen lineage, a power suppressed by years of betrayal. Now, as the Council of Alphas declares war and the children of her former pack are taken as bait, Emma must master her dormant kinetic powers. She is tied to four kings, but her heart is drawn to the one who saw her first. Between the fire of Damon’s obsession and the sweet, wild heat of Félix’s love, Emma will have to choose: will she be the sacrifice the world demands, or the Queen who burns the hierarchy to ashes? One Rejection. Four Kings. A War for the Crown has begun.

I made a mistake. A terrible, unforgettable mistake. It all started with one reckless, drunken night—a night that shattered everything I knew. I slept with him. Not just any man, but Zayden Whitemore—my father’s best friend, the man I’d secretly loved for years. I thought it was just a one-time mistake. But I was wrong. Because now, I’m marrying his son. It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I was supposed to marry Vincent to save my father’s failing business, to escape the scandal that ruined my family. But how can I pretend to be the perfect wife when my heart—and body—crave his father? Zayden is older, untouchable, forbidden. Every time he looks at me, I burn with desire. Every time he pushes me away, I fall harder. We both know it’s wrong, but we can’t stop. Loving him is dangerous. Staying with him could destroy me. But walking away? That might break me for good. How do you escape a love that’s forbidden, dangerous… and impossible to forget?

Leon Vincent, the shark of Warren Street, is the one who raised me. Twelve years ago, a fire tore through the orphanage and took everything from me. He was the one who pulled me out of the flames and gave me a second chance at life. To repay him, we make a weird deal—a 99-debt contract. I have to either obey him or be abandoned 99 times. After that, the debt will be cleared. Every time he goes on a date with some high-society socialite, he'll toss another insanely expensive piece of jewelry into my safe. In just two short years after turning 18, I've accumulated 96 diamonds in my safe, each one marking the 96 times he's cast me aside. One day, his fiancee, Elena Harrington, sends me a provocative email. "Dearest Isabelle, Leon and I are finalizing the wedding invitations. Do you think velvet with gold foil or matte leather would be more elegant? The ceremony's early next month. Can't wait to see you there! Love, Elena." Right after that, Leon calls, asking me to pack his bags for the summit in Parienne tomorrow. I simply send the wedding gift I've prepared in advance—a seven-figure emerald necklace—straight to his darling Elena without any words. That night, Leon returns to the apartment and finds out what I've done. He praises me for being considerate. Late into the night, he pulls me into his arms with rare tenderness. Nothing is left between us; no clothes, no holding back. He whispers that he wants to give me a special kind of reward, one that only I can carry. Somehow, Elena discovers my pregnancy. She stands on the balcony of Vincent Estate, screaming like her life depends on it. "Leon, I'm begging you! Don't let her have that baby! If you do, I'll jump!" The cold and proud Leon begs me, for the first time, to get rid of the baby. Everyone at the party awaits my breakdown, but I just smile softly and nod. "Alright. I will." He whispers in my ear, "Our marriage is just a business arrangement. I don't even like her. Once we're divorced, I'll give you another baby." What he fails to realize is that it was never in my plans to keep this one. There are only three more times left before I pay off this life debt from when he pulled me out of that fire all those years ago. After the 99th time, I board a ship bound for Azara to join a medical research mission. From that moment on, my life will be mine alone to live for.

Selama lima tahun, aku menikah dengan pewaris Keluarga Romano, keluarga kejahatan terbesar di Igali. Setiap malam, dia memelukku dan berbisik, "Berikan aku seorang pewaris dan akan kuberikan seluruh kerajaan Keluarga Romano padanya." Namun, aku tak pernah hamil dan kekecewaan sang bos mafia terhadapku kian bertambah setiap bulan yang berlalu. Hingga akhirnya aku tahu bahwa suamiku diam-diam menukar asam folatku dengan pil kontrasepsi. Aku masih terguncang oleh amarah ketika melihat sebuah unggahan dari mantan pacarnya, sebuah foto USG. Caption-nya manis sekaligus menyebalkan, penuh rasa kemenangan. [ Usianya sepuluh minggu. Vincent bilang dia sudah nggak sabar bertemu bayi ini. ] Melihat banjirnya ucapan selamat, keputusanku pun bulat. Aku menemukan kontak mantan pacarku, orang yang selama lima tahun terakhir tak pernah berhenti berusaha merebutku kembali dan aku mengirimnya satu pesan singkat. [ Kasih aku satu bulan. Setelah itu, aku akan pergi bersamamu. ]
