Merri Khate Manalo works as the secretary for Evan Alexander Virkin, a heartless, arrogant, demanding, nonchalant, and perfectionist boss. Unfortunately, she is stuck with a boss like him. To make matters worse, her parents died in a car accident, leaving her with ten million pesos in debt.
With her savings gone, she was evicted by her landlady and pursued by loan sharks. As if that wasn’t enough, her boyfriend cheated on her with her best friend. Merri was on the verge of losing her mind! She had lost her parents, her home, and her money. On top of that, she was betrayed by the people she trusted the most.
Just when she was about to lose faith in life and faced a near-fatal accident with a truck, her boss surprisingly came to her rescue. Even more shockingly, he proposed marriage to her!
“You need help. So do l. My bride ran away with a random man. So, l need a substitute bride, marry me, and you will get everything you need,” he said.
“Not only that, you will have a place to stay. If you live with me, they can’t harm you. So, will you marry me, Merri?”
Is marrying her boss a blessing or another disaster? They are fundamentally different from each other, and she cannot imagine being with him. However, given her circumstances, she knows she cannot be picky. If she is, she might end up either homeless or a companion to an old and ugly loan shark leader. Plus, she can’t stand facing insults from her traitorous ex and former friend. Becoming the substitute bride of her heartless boss might just be the best choice for her!

When I try to escape, the sun nearly kills me.
When he saves me, he binds me to him in blood.

The bond changes everything. His voice settles the hunger. His presence pulls at something deep inside me. I should fear him—but my body craves his blood more than freedom.

My name is Lucas.

Since the day I was born, I've known I was a monster.

Because I have horns growing from my head.

Because my parents abandoned me.

Because everyone who saw me was afraid.

For eighteen years, my grandfather was the only person who ever treated me like family.

Then he died in Harmony City.

Determined to uncover the truth behind his death, I stepped into the city's underworld and uncovered a secret buried for nearly twenty years.

They say I'm a monster.

They say my bloodline is a forbidden existence.

They say I'll bring disaster to the world.

But when demons fell to their knees before me—

I finally realized something.

If even demons are afraid of me...

Then what exactly am I?

Mike Costa was supposed to be the sole heir to the Mafia, but he was betrayed and “abandoned” by his own brother Lucas in a yacht explosion, and everyone believed he was dead.
Five years later, he returns—cold-blooded, powerful, and unshakable. The entire underground world of New York is reshaped beneath him.
Just as Mike is about to settle everything once and for all, Lucas forces him into a political marriage with Chicago’s top family, using the secret of his true identity as leverage.
And when Mike first meets the woman at the top of that power hierarchy, she completely changes the rules of this marriage contract—this time, hunter and prey are no longer clearly defined.

I buried my brothers.
Burned my name.
And disappeared from a world built on violence.
They once feared me as the Black Reaper — Klein, former mercenary commander.
Now I live quietly in a crumbling villa, renting out rooms just to stay afloat.
Then Carol moves in.
Brilliant. Beautiful.
Hunted by powerful cartels.
She assumes I’m nothing more than a bitter, sloppy landlord —
until armed men break into her room, and I kill them with my bare hands.
Now Carol knows my true power.
Instead of running, she forces her way deeper into my life,
making me her driver, her protector, and her unwilling shield against the hunters chasing her.
But the West family — the ones who murdered my entire team — have finally tracked her down.
To protect Carol, I must become the man I swore I’d never be again.
“They took everything from me once,” I say quietly.
“This time, I won’t leave anyone standing.”

But no one knew that this ruler of the underground world was being slowly consumed by an inexplicable curse within his body.
His life is counting down.
Until he met Cecilia Helsing, who was known as the "Sleeping Beauty".
This is the sole heir of the Helsing family who suddenly fell into a deep sleep three years ago.
In order to find the clues to break the curse, Luciano was forced to marry her and become the son-in-law of the Helsing family.
Cecilia was also revived by him, but Cecilia looked into his eyes and said, "Marriage is okay, but don't touch me."

A single command could lock down an entire city.

When he saw his daughter wasting away...

When he saw another man taking his woman...

Will the wedding proceed as planned?

No.

On this day, there will be no wedding.

“Good girl…”

The deep, whispered voice cuts through the silence, raising goosebumps along my skin and reverberating through my body in the darkness of the cabin.

So real it freezes me in place, sending my heart racing with pure terror.

I’m not alone.

I want to scream, but nothing comes out. The sound stays trapped in my throat, locked down by fear.

Without looking back, my first instinct is to run.

But before I can take a second step, the wooden floor vanishes beneath me as strong arms wrap around my waist, lifting me off the ground.

My scream is smothered by a large gloved hand as I struggle.

“Shhh,” he whispers against my ear. “Don’t scream… (…) It’s useless. No one will hear you… there’s no one around…”

Suddenly, he turns my body, pinning my arms behind my back.

Breathless, I force myself to lift my face and look at him, but all I can see in the darkness is a black mask covering almost his entire face, revealing only his eyes and mouth.

I swallow hard, a new shiver running across my skin as I meet the intense, shadowed stare behind the mask.

I’m paralyzed again. Only now, not just from fear.
There’s something else—something I can’t understand or control.
Something that holds me still, trapped in his gaze when I should be screaming and trying to escape.

(…)

“I’m not leaving… not until you show me why you want me here so much. And you do want me.”
He slides his fingers along my cheek, a touch that makes me question my own sanity.

“So show me, little flame.”

“This… this is sick,” I breathe, fighting the way his gaze makes my skin burn.

“Then why are you so wet?”

God! At the same time as his words aroused me, they managed to irritate me. Even now, he's still the same bastard, arrogant and bossy as ever, who always wanted things his way.

"Why would I do that?" I asked, feeling my legs weaken.

"I'm sorry if I made you think you had any choice," he said before grabbing my hair and pushing my torso, forcing me to lean over and place my hands on the surface of his desk.

"Mine," he growled, low and deep.

"I’m not yours."

He tightened his grip on me.

"You don’t want me to chase you, do you?" His voice sounded almost animal. "Unless…"

“Hide! Hide!” I yelled, striking Greg violently in the butt. I sensed his astonishment but I didn’t give a damn. If he loved me, he'd understand I was in a precarious situation. “What the hell's happening?!” Greg screamed but I still pushed him into my wardrobe anyway as Fred's voice echoed through the house. I can't imagine the torment I'd face if I was caught in a relationship with a man. 7 years ago, I worked for the Richardson family with my mother and when I lost her to cancer, I decided to drop out of school.

It went downhill from there. I became a sex toy for him and it even got worse when my adoptive father joined his son to make my life a misery. I became traumatic. Not even the sweetest prince charming could woo me into liking him. To hell with every man! I hated them all until Greg came along. He loved me more than I loved myself but what could I do? Both father and son of the Richardson family had issued me a stern warning to shut every man out – I was an exclusive property. Would I ever get a shot at true love when my life’s a living hell?

He raised my arms, pinning my hands above my head.

"Tell me you didn’t fuck him," he demanded through clenched teeth.

"Go fuck yourself, you son of a bitch!" I snapped, trying to break free.

"Say it!" he growled, gripping my chin with one hand.

"Do you think I’m a slut?"

"Is that a no?"

"Go to hell!"

"Good. That’s all I needed to know," he said, yanking up my black sports bra with one hand, exposing my breasts and sending a surge of adrenaline through my body.

"What the hell are you doing?" I panted as he stared at my breasts with a satisfied smirk.

He ran a finger over one of the marks he’d left just below one of my nipples.

The bastard was admiring the marks he’d left on me?

"Wrap your legs around me," he ordered.

He leaned down just enough to take my breast into his mouth, sucking hard on my nipple. I bit my lower lip to stifle a moan as he bit down, making me arch my chest toward him.

"I’m letting go of your hands. Don’t you dare stop me."

"Sophie Patterson. Don't you dare walk away from me." Logan's menacing stare bore at me. I suddenly didn't feel drunk anymore. I sobered up quickly.

"What, Logan? You're gonna tell me that you suddenly love me again? That you're here to sweep me off my feet? Please! I didn't need you all this time, and I don't need you now." He clenched his jaw, fisting his hands.

"Enough. Stop being so damn stubborn. You know I do. I love you. I never stopped loving you, Sophie. It was always you."

"No, I'm not. I have to go," I say, pulling away again, making him growl.

"No. Don't you dare growl at me, Titus. You and Hunter... You think I'm not aware you've been sleeping around? I'm not interested in someone who wasn't willing to wait for me, okay? So why don't you just... reject me now? Save us both the trouble," I said, making him growl again.

"What the hell are you talking about, Abigail? I've never been with another woman. I've waited for you. For my fated mate, and it's you!" he says, his eyes turning dark. "Whether you like it or not, ABIGAIL," he continues, pulling me by the arm against him again and holding me in place, "you are my mate, and I will not reject you. You are mine and will always be mine."

I have to fight this... I just have to, but can I resist this?

She tries to fight the mating bond but doesn't succeed, falling deeply in love with him and realizing what a wonderful man he is.

What if I discover the disabled Alpha I’m contracted to marry is my second-chance mate?

“My sweet Amelia, please,” her father whispered, voice raw with desperation. “Sign the contract. Bear his heir. One year only, then you’re free to come home.”

Amelia Garcia, daughter of Alpha Ernesto, had long endured relentless cruelty from her stepbrother Nicholas. But when he publicly rejected her as his fated mate, it shattered her heart—and that was just the beginning. Fleeing into the night, devastated, she returned to a reality far more brutal. A war with a rival pack raged, forcing her father into a desperate bargain: Amelia must marry the cold-hearted and disabled Alpha Aaron Vasquez to end the war.

Cursed by the Moon Goddess, Alpha Aaron suffers from wolf-form amnesia, a rare condition that erases his memories with every shift—that hasn’t dulled his fearsome reputation. Bound to a wheelchair yet capable of ruthless strength, he’s a paradox Amelia can’t unravel. Reluctantly signing the contract, she discovers a shattering truth: Alpha Aaron is her second-chance mate. But as she confronts her growing feelings for him, Amelia learns that Aaron’s lingering love for his ex-mate could shatter their fated connection—and their future.

What Amelia doesn’t know is that the man she’s been forced to marry may be the very one determined to kill her father.

"Now, let's discuss your shorts." A big hand slips under the blanket and glides down my knees to my innermost thighs, a finger finding my pussy, and sinking in. "You are a naughty, naughty girl. Did you wear this to torture me? Answer me."
"Yes," I manage after two gulped breaths. "I wore it for you." With no panties. Everything bare.
"You want me that bad, Theresa? You want me worked up, right? Feral, agitated, hopelessly turned on, huh?"
My lips part as he shifts the stethoscope, listening to my heart pound as I answer. "Y-yes."
"Say it. I want to hear every word."
"I wore shorts to turn you on, Dr Storm. Every time." Excitement flourishes in my stomach, and I ride it like a tidal wave. "I wore it so you could..."
He waits, bristling with impatience as I trail off. A muscle leaps in his jaw, and his whole sculpted body is tense beneath me. "So I could what, Theresa? So I could what?"
The silence is so loud, the tension so thick, his eyes so intense, so needy to hear the words, I feel my toes curl.
"So, you could put your hand up there, Dr Storm. So, you could touch me."

Now, as they ready for their last year of high school, he had many and plenty of new ideas to tease her, to prank her; make her life more miserable then before.

All summer long, he longed for the night, to settle down in thought and plot out each and every way possible to make her days long and miserable. But one summer can have many- many changes.
