White Lie

Die Familie Rossi hatte eine Regel. Wer die nächste Donna werden wollte, musste sich beweisen. Innerhalb eines einzigen Jahres dreihundert Millionen Euro verdienen. Sauberes Geld. Ganz allein. Ohne jede Hilfe der Familie. Ich hatte zehn Jahre lang dafür gekämpft. Für Vincent. Ich hatte zehn Firmen aus dem Nichts aufgebaut. Und jedes einzelne Mal, kurz bevor ich die Ziellinie erreichte, lief etwas schief. Alles brach einfach ... in sich zusammen. Dieses Jahr hatte ich es endlich geschafft. Mit dem Prüfbericht in der Hand rannte ich in sein Arbeitszimmer. Mein Herz schlug mir bis zum Hals. Ich glaubte, ich hätte endlich gewonnen. Stattdessen erfuhr ich, dass mein ganzes Leben auf einer Lüge aufgebaut hatte. Er übergab mein gesamtes Imperium Ava Rossi. Der Bastardtochter meines Vaters. Nur weil sie ihm angeblich einmal das Leben gerettet hatte und er deshalb sie zur wahren Donna machen wollte. In diesem Moment gab ich auf. Ihn. Und auch den Traum meiner Familie, gemeinsam mit seiner aufzusteigen. Dann nahm ich das Telefon in die Hand und rief das Outfit in Chicago an. „Dein Heiratsantrag“, sagte ich. „Ich nehme ihn an.“

As soon as I receive my year-end bonus, I transfer 100 thousand dollars to my wife, Zoe Steele, so that she can prepare the holiday gifts for both families right away. I even tell her to buy the best quality gifts for our parents, especially the box of premium liquor meant for my dad. On New Year's Eve, I rush home to have dinner with my parents. But weirdly enough, Dad, who's an avid drinker, starts having tea instead of liquor at the dining table. This leaves me perplexed. "Dad, why aren't you cracking open a bottle of liquor for yourself during the holidays?" With a smile on my face, I get up to my feet so that I can carry the box of liquor over. "Zoe had someone buy the liquor for you, you know. I hear that the taste is exceptional." "Stop!" Dad slams his pipe against the table loudly, his face a starking shade of crimson. "Edgar, don't ever send such gifts home. I know that life is difficult for you in the city and that making money is hard. We Kennedys may be poor, but we are people with pride! "Now, everyone in the village is gossiping about us behind our backs! They claim that I've been boasting about your wealth!" Dad's words confuse me to no end. After I unscrew a bottle of liquor, I sip from it, only to feel thunderstruck. This isn't premium liquor at all! This is just mineral water packaged as liquor!

In the Lycan world, power is measured by claws. In the human world, it’s measured by wealth. Elara Vance was a defect — a wolf who couldn’t shift. When her fated mate, Alpha Julian Blackwood, publicly rejected her for a political alliance, he didn’t just break her heart… he left her to die in the Wastelands. Five years later, Julian is the CEO of Blackwood Global, the world’s most powerful tech empire. He thinks he’s haunted by a ghost. He doesn’t realize that the mysterious hacker dismantling his empire piece by piece… is the mate he discarded. Elara has returned. But she isn’t seeking an apology. She carries a secret: she was never wolf-less. She is the first of the Silent breed — a rare Lycan who can influence Alphas’ minds without making a sound. When Julian finally corners the elusive “V,” he expects a corporate spy. Instead, he finds the woman who still smells like his soul… and holds the detonator to his entire life. Revenge has a frequency. And Elara controls

Meera was born wrong. A wolfless omega in a world ruled by powerful Alphas, she learned early that survival meant staying invisible… staying quiet… staying beneath everyone. But the day she steps onto the ice, everything changes. Because the seven most dangerous players on campus—the Alpha hockey kings—finally notice her. And they don’t like what they see. To them, she’s weak. A joke. Something to break for their amusement. They humiliate her. Push her. Test how far she can fall. But what starts as cruelty quickly turns into something far more dangerous. Obsession. Because the more they try to destroy her… the more they realize they can’t let her go. And when the truth about Meera begins to surface—when her hidden power threatens to flip the entire hierarchy— The same Alphas who bullied her will be the ones fighting to claim her. Too bad she’s no longer the girl who begged to be accepted. Now? They’ll have to beg for her.

I fell in love with the nanny's son. After boldly pursuing him, he reluctantly agreed to marry me. But I never expected his young lover to storm into my home like a madwoman, prying my mouth open to pour scalding water down my throat, pressing me into a sink full of dirty water, and finally pushing me down the stairs. My husband stood by my hospital bed, looking at my broken body with disdain. "Irene, every moment with you makes me sick," he spat, barely able to hide his impatience for my death. Yet, when I finally died, he sobbed uncontrollably in public, playing the role of the devoted, heartbroken husband. "Irene, don't leave me! You have no idea how much I wanted to die with you!" At that, I spoke softly from behind him. "Is that so?"

Yvette Warren, personal secretary to billionaire Orson Cox, announced that the heiress who was accidentally switched at birth 20 years ago was living in this orphanage. Whoever could prove their identity would inherit a billion-dollar fortune. In my first life, the two-faced Laurel Marsh tricked me into giving her my keepsake to claim the family. The Coxes tore her mouth apart. "Fraud!" In my second life, my frenemy, Rebecca Vargas, tattooed a fake birthmark on herself to claim the family. The Coxes had her skin slashed to shreds. "Still a fraud!" In my third life, my sworn enemy, Vita Davidson, took out online loans to get plastic surgery, reshaping her face to resemble Orson's wife. She tried to claim the family and was thrown straight into a mastiff cage by the Coxes. By my fourth life, no one dared steal my identity anymore. They packed me up overnight and delivered me straight to the Cox residence. When the DNA test confirmed I really was the heiress, everyone thought the nightmare was finally over. But on my very first night back, the Coxes shoved me off a high-rise building. "Anyone who dares steal our real daughter's identity deserves to die!" When I opened my eyes again, Yvette was smiling as she asked who the heiress was. Everyone backed away in terror, insisting they weren't the heiress. Yvette's voice turned low and eerie. "But our investigation shows that the heiress is definitely in this orphanage."
