Wrapped Synonym

Russia, the only place where sex and guns could ever taste so sweet—my exact nightmare. The only thing I’m here for is to grind my body over shady politicians for my father’s schemes. I’d be more than willing to do so if it meant I’d pull my mother and myself out of his chains and start a new life. I was so close, so damn close—until he came . . . very much unannounced. Konstantin Morozov, the man I am going to be married off to. Russia’s ruthless beast— earning his crown with bloodied hands. With this, I only had to face two challenges: infiltrate his notorious business as per father’s order and divorce him when the time is right. But dealing with a husband who has a Morozov as his last name was never easy, especially with a gun pointed at my head, and those rough, cruel hands wrapped around my heart. I wonder which blows up first?

To save his illegitimate son, who suffered from kidney failure, Lucas Cadell had his five-year-old daughter go through the kidney removal surgery without telling his wife. Upon finding out what happened, Cassiopeia Hepburn sped to the hospital. By the time she got there, the red indicator light above the operating room was already switched on. Her eyes were bloodshot as she desperately pounded the door and cried out, "Stop! I'm the mother! I do not consent to having her kidney removed!" Lucas stepped forward and wrapped his arms around her to restrict her. His voice was filled with remorse as he spoke, "I'm sorry, Cassie, but Liam is going to die from kidney failure if I don’t do anything to save him. The only solution is to have Anya donate her kidney to him." Cassiopeia stared at the man she had loved for many years in disbelief. The man she was once so obsessed with seemed to have turned into a stranger.

She was innocence wrapped in temptation. He was the devil who ruined everything she loved. When twenty-year-old Lila is sent to spend the summer at Damien Wolfe’s isolated estate, she steps into a world of luxury, control, and ice-cold stares. Damien is powerful, commanding, and twice her age, exactly the type of man she should fear. But Lila didn’t come here by chance. She came with a purpose. Because Damien Wolfe isn’t just her godfather’s old friend, he’s the man who destroyed her mother’s life. The man Lila has dreamed of confronting since she was old enough to understand betrayal. But nothing prepared her for the pull between them. For the way his darkness draws her in, or the way her touch makes him unravel. What began as quiet revenge turns into something far more dangerous—DESIRE. And when the truth surfaces, it will either ruin them both… or bind them forever in the most twisted love of all.

Maynard Hansen planned a luxury birthday cruise for Darlene Thompson, but the cruise ship capsized when a violent storm swept in without warning. Without hesitation, Maynard gave the last seat on the lifeboat to Darlene. As I struggled in the water, my son, Waldo Hansen—whom I carried for nine months and gave birth to—cried out, "Don't let Mom up! She'll push Ms. Thompson off." Clutching nothing but a broken plank, I somehow made it to shore. By the time I collapsed on the sand, I was frozen, exhausted, and done. I had never felt so alone. Shortly after, I found myself clutching a diagnosis of severe depression in my hand. I was ready to bring this wretched life to a quiet end. But when my husband and son realized I truly didn't want to live anymore, they collapsed into tears. They wrapped their arms around me as they sobbed, "Please don't leave us. We really can't live without you."

Ever since I started at the Brooklyn Enquirer as a journalist, I've been reporting on stories nobody cares about. But the other day, I found a story that I was sure the audience would sink their teeth into. One that was front-page worthy and would make our newspaper infamous. Except it centers around a mafia boss and his bloodthirsty brothers.  It won't be easy to get it, but I'm determined to prove my worth. And it starts with Darick Dawson. My heart fluttered as we gazed into each other's eyes. At the same time, we leaned forward, and our lips touched. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he stroked his fingers through my hair, pulling at the roots softly, earning a moan from me. He traced his finger around my lips when suddenly, I opened my eyes and noticed the red in his irises getting darker.

I hated limelight because I was wolf-less and weak. My plan was to finish my one year at Black Moon Highschool quietly. But an encounter with the biggest bully of the school, left me shattered. From the day Apollo de Vries saw me, he had only one thing in his mind—he wanted to ruin me. And I had no idea why. Apollo was a dark, depraved soul who had the world spinning on his index finger. He had the confidence of gods and ruthlessness of devils. Elder son of the Alpha of the Black Moon pack and the future Alpha, he was dominance and arrogance wrapped in the body of a sinful Greek god with an equally sinful voice. I couldn’t handle his hatred. Until he started stalking me like the wolf, he was… “This is my last warning to you Natasha,” he said. “If anyone fucking touches you, I will kill him. Do you understand?” “Wh— why?” “Because you are all mine, sweetie. Mine,” he said in a low, lethal voice."
