During our company's Black Friday sale, an intern took it upon herself to change "Spend $300, save $50" to "Spend $300, save $350." In my previous life, I was the Director of E-commerce Operations. I shut down the servers immediately and stopped the company from bleeding nearly ten million dollars. At the year-end party, the intern stood in front of everyone with tears in her eyes, playing the victim. "Erin, all I wanted to do was drive user acquisition through a loss-leader growth hack!" "Customers would have come back to repurchase after getting the discount. Who gave you the right to cut off the company's revenue by killing the servers?" She posted a viral thread on Instagram: Gen Z Takes on the Workplace: How My Outdated Boss Sabotaged My Brilliant Idea. Strangers doxxed me and came after me in waves. I left the company due to depression. Eventually, her mob of rabid followers drove me off the edge of a roof. Now I've been given a second chance. When the intern points to the promo page that's about to go live and asks me: "Erin, does my Black Friday campaign look good to you?" "It doesn't just look good. This is the textbook definition of a viral growth hack!" I turn around, grab the documents, and announce over the company-wide PA system. "Cassie has personally guaranteed this campaign with her own and her boyfriend's credit history, signing a full liability agreement to cover any losses. Let's give her a hand, everyone!"

I woke up from a nightmare, and I was back. Back in the year the Falcone family went to war with the Morozovs for the shipping lanes. I was the Donna of the Falcone family. The woman they all envied. And the first thing I did? I got rid of the baby in my belly. My husband's child. Don Enzo's. Because in my last life, on the day I gave birth, Enzo held up a baby with blue eyes. His own eyes were blazing. "How dare you sleep with a Morozov," he snarled, "and birth their blue-eyed bastard!" The family sentenced me to death. They threw me in a cell. I didn't learn the truth until the very end. That baby belonged to Eliana—Enzo's first love. She was the one sleeping with our sworn enemy. The Morozovs. And Enzo? He stole my rightful heir and swapped him for her bastard. They made me the family traitor. And left my body to rot in a cold, damp cell. And my own son—his mind twisted by that bitch—stood over my corpse and cursed my name. When I opened my eyes again, I was three months pregnant. I didn't hesitate. I walked into a clinic and ended it. Before I left, I took a different kind of shot. High-grade hormones, straight from the black market. It fakes the signs of pregnancy. Fools even the best blood tests. Enzo needed a baby to cover for Eliana's sins. Fine. Let's play.

"Five million," the voice echoed through the velvet-lined auction hall. Cold. Predatory. Familiar. Brittany’s heart stopped. She knew that voice. It belonged to the man who had shattered her soul five years ago—her brother’s former best friend, Houston Vane. Sold by her gambling addict father to cover a debt that wasn't hers, Brittany expected a monster. She didn't expect the man who once promised to marry her to be the one holding the gavel. Houston is no longer the boy she loved. He’s a ruthless CEO with ice in his veins and a vendetta against her family. He doesn’t want a wife; he wants a pawn. He offers her a deal: play the part of his doting fiancée for a year to save her father’s life, and he’ll set her free. The rules are simple: No feelings. No touching. No secrets. But Brittany is hiding a secret that could destroy them both. Back in a small, cramped apartment, three four-year-olds are waiting for their "Mommy" to come home. Triplets with Houston’s dark eyes and his defiant smirk. As Houston drags her into his world of high-society sharks and dangerous power plays, the line between hate and desire begins to blur. But when a rival billionaire, Xander, decides he wants Brittany for himself, the game turns deadly. Houston bought her to break her. But what happens when he realizes he’s been raising a war against the mother of his children?

One year. One lie. An unexpected Love. Declan Rowe, a self-made billionaire with a reputation as untouchable as steel finds his reputation crumbling under a heat, fast and ruthless. Overnight, a scandalous viral avalanche of photoshopped images of him entangled with different women, leaked by a shadowy rival, painted him as a shameless playboy, causing a brutal damage on his spotless reputation and brand. He could hold a press conference, denying it all. But Declan does not beg the world for belief – he makes the world believe what he wants them to. So he crafted something better than a denial. He crafted a story. And in that story, he needed a wife. Not a glamorous socialite who would steal the spotlight but, a woman, credible, and quietly desperate enough to say yes to his offer. A single mother preferably, one he could act out the role of a good husband and diligent father with. Someone he could play house with– painting the picture of a perfect family. Someone the public would root for and be deluded by her simplicity. Someone he could control. That someone turns out to be her – Elise Cole. A beautiful, dangerous and sharp-tongued single mother who had a daughter to feed, a rent to cover and loans to pay back. She was not supposed to be his type, he neither in her class. She was not supposed to be anything but a solution. The contract was simple: twelve months of pretending, then a clean goodbye. She would play the adoring wife. He would play the devoted husband and father. The world would believe it. The plot was simple, and characters were set. Yet, somewhere between the rehearsed smiles and the scripted affection, the lines stopped being lines.

“Don’t you want to see how manly your husband is, honey?” he whispered huskily, his voice tinged with seduction. Even in his madness, he licked the tip of her ear as he nibbled it gently. His breath was hot, and the tip of his tongue was rough, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to break free, but it seemed that her strength was no match for his. “You’re hurting me, Ace!” she snapped as she squirmed. Seizing the opportunity from his loosening grip to escape from him. However, before she could spin around, he slammed her body violently against the glass wall again, causing her to whimper as her nose hit the glass.

I set up a company cafeteria for employees with an abundant meal daily worth 150 dollars per person. Meals are prepared by a world-renowned master chef. Every day, I only ask my employees to contribute a token of one dollar. Instead of gratitude, all I get is their envy of the neighboring company. "I wish we had that. Their healthy lunches cost them nothing, and the company covers everything." "Yeah. Free salads always seem to taste the best." Before long, this chatter spreads through the office, and the new hires carry it into the company's group chat. "Mr. Shaw, can we switch things up? All this rich, heavy food is just too much for us!" A few of the senior employees quickly jump in. "Yes, Mr. Shaw! We're not asking for anything extravagant. We only want something like the healthy lunches the other company gives out for free!" Perfect. They ignore my lavish 150-dollar meals that cost them almost nothing, yet they pine over the neighboring company's modest lunches. I scroll through the chat, feeling nothing but sharp irony. I immediately send a company-wide email. "Attention, everyone! By popular demand, and so you can all experience a truly free lunch, the cafeteria's daily meal is reduced from abundant to simple starting today. "Snacks and fruit options are discontinued and replaced with the same healthy lunch set offered by the neighboring company. The company will cover the full cost. Enjoy your meal!"

Two weeks before my wedding to Alexander Hayes, he invites his friends over to our small home. During dinner, Alexander keeps groping me, whether intentionally or not. After they finish eating, I overhear their conversation as I clear the dishes and walk past the study. "Alex, Lydia's quite something. I touched her earlier, and her skin's so soft. She nearly pulled my soul out. "If you don't mind, let us guys have some fun with her once she pays off the debt for you. We'll help you cover the cost of whatever Kay wants." Alexander chuckles softly, his voice casual and careless. "Sure, I don't mind. I've been sleeping with her for so long, I'm already sick of her anyway. "Just make sure she doesn't rat us out to my grandpa... Actually, forget it. She's blind anyway, so she won't figure it out." For two years, I've devoted myself completely to taking care of Alexander, yet he's ready to throw me into other men's beds, using my body to settle his debts. I stand silently at the doorway, feeling absolutely nothing. Of course, I know that someone else has been replacing him for a year. The person who holds me close night after night isn't him, and the child in my belly isn't his either.
