"One million," A man seated at the corner of the room called out, raising his paddle.
My heart pounded louder with each bid. The men sneered, their eyes devouring me like I was a piece of meat. My body trembled as I rubbed my sweaty hands on my clothes.
The bids went higher and higher until there were just two men left.
"Three million," the chubby man declared, impatient evident in his tone.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
"Five million," A stranger countered, raising his paddle.
My eyes widened in shock as I tried to figure out who this stranger was. The room was filled with murmurs and no one could counter the stranger.
The auctioneer's gavel slammed down.
"Sold!"
Leila Flynn, 19 years old, struggles to keep her ailing brother alive, and her life takes a dark turn when she is suddenly kidnapped into London's underworld auction.

Leila is then taken to a grand mansion in London, where she begins a complex relationship with Dominic.
Dominic, a powerful mafia boss, lives a life shrouded in mystery and danger. Leila gradually discovers that Dominic's concern for her and her younger brother, Michael- who suffers from leukemia- goes beyond mere kindness. Under Dominic's protection, Leila tries to uncover his true intentions while also developing a subtle emotional connection with his brother, Luca.
In this dangerous game of love, betrayal, and revenge, Leila must decide whether to place her trust in Dominic or sever all ties with his perilous world once and for all.

What do you do when your sister's ex-boyfriend whom she dumped turns out to be a Spanish Prince and chooses to marry you to get revenge on her?
"This isn't fair," Leah screamed again. "Why on earth would Prince Estefan choose Rhea over me?"
Leah's eyes landed on me and her face turned red in anger. "You!" She pointed her finger at me. "You did this, didn't you? You must have said something to Estefan that's why he chose you. No wonder you were so negative about us getting married. I should have noticed it that time."
My eyes widened at her accusations. "Leah, What are you talking about? I don't know anything about this. Trust me, I don't want to get married to Estefan. All this came to me as a surprise."
"Stop pretending." She yelled at me and I jumped back in fear. "You have always wanted to be with Estefan that's why you got close to his sister. You and his sister must have done something to make him choose."
"What are you talking about? I did no such thing, I would never do something like that to you." I cried.
"Enough." She raised her hand to stop me. "I should have realized sooner that you are a green snake under the green grass, waiting for the right time to strike."

Olivia thought her life was going to be perfect after she was adopted at a legal age by the Brookes couple, who were well-known businessmen in New York.
She later found out that the reason for her adoption was only for a marriage agreement because the Brookes couple only had a male child and needed a female child to fulfill their end of the bargain.
Things got worse for Olivia when she realized her fiance, Kellan hated her to the core and had another woman in his life, and she had no choice but to go through with the marriage.
Will Olivia be able to survive all the troubles she would go through in the hands of Kellan and his girlfriend who would do anything to get rid of her?

"Stop calling me that," he muttered. "Max. To you, it's Max."
His fingers slid from my wrist to my palm, and then, slowly, he brought my hand to his chest, pressing it over his heartbeat.
I froze.
"You're not them," he repeated, quieter this time. "You're Ava."
Something inside me cracked.
I should have walked away. I should have left him in that car.
But instead, I leaned in.
And when I kissed him, he didn't pull away.
His lips were warm, his breath slow and deep as he let me in.
His hand tightened around mine, anchoring me to him.
I was holding onto him- even if just for tonight.
She was his perfect assistant. He was her forbidden obsession.
For years, Ava has been the invisible force behind Max- his shadow, his confidante, the woman who knows him better than anyone.
But when Max orders her to buy an engagement ring for his fiancée, Ava's built walls crumble.
Until one night. A mistake. A passion too dangerous to ignore.
He swore their night meant nothing. She vowed never to be seen again.
Bound by duty, Max has no choice but to follow his family's demands—to marry the perfect woman from the perfect family. His life is not his own. His choices are not his own.
At her lowest, Ava finds an unexpected savior. Wealthy, powerful, and… he also happens to be Max's brother.
Ava never thought she'd cross paths with another Anderson. And Max never thought he'd crave what he let slip away.
