Lena Hart has been hurt before. Badly. So when Ethan Vale walks into her life—handsome, gentle, successful—she doesn’t know whether to trust him or run. He says all the right things. Looks at her like she’s the only woman in the world. For the first time in years, she lets someone in.

But love shouldn't feel like this.

Because soon, women who look just like Lena start turning up dead.

Strangled. No signs of struggle. No forced entry. Each victim wore the same perfume Ethan gifted Lena. Each one met their end after falling for someone who seemed… perfect.

Now Lena is watching everything: his words, his habits, his lies. And she’s asking herself the question she doesn’t want answered—

What if the man she’s falling for is the one hunting her?

As the city panics and the bodies stack up, Lena has two choices: run, or play along long enough to figure out the truth.

But in this game of love and survival, one wrong move could make her the next victim.

"Carolina Lane has lived a completely normal life until recently, but things change when she moves to a new city with her mother. Having Kayler Brown, the sexiest and most respected guy at school, as her neighbor is not amusing to her. However, as she gets to know him better, she gradually realizes that he is not like everyone else. He has something strange and hidden, and it never crossed her mind that he could be a werewolf."

Rhianna "Yana" Sullivan belongs to a Middle-class family, but her simple life changed when she met the arrogant businessman, Nathan Wolfe. That's why she couldn't believe it when she woke up one morning, lying on someone else's bed naked! She shouted defiantly upon learning what had happened. Then Nathan Wolfe whispered to her ear, while slightly biting her earlobe, "Your father owes me a hundred thousand bucks, and you are here to pay me until the last cent," he said, while smiling wickedly at her.

There is a difference between an orphan and an abandoned orphan, and Madelyn understood this difference at a very young age. She became a subject of ridicule and bullying because of her status as an abandoned orphan. As a nobody, she couldn't fight her bullies. Hence, she was waiting for the day when she would be able to leave the living hell of that city while enduring all the harassment and physical hurt from her bullies, especially from Oscar Howart. Things changed when Maximum Blackwood entered her life as a knight in shining armor, making Madelyn develop a crush on him. But Oscar left her speechless when he also changed his attitude towards her. What was his game? She didn't understand, but she welcomed this new change, which was better than him hurting her almost every day. Is she too naive to believe that a bully like Oscar can change, or can Oscar really change? Does Maximus save her from falling for Oscar, or let her learn her lessons after heartbreak? Will he reciprocate her feelings for him?

Three years ago, I took off the ring and became a mechanic, just to keep a promise to my brother — to protect his widow and daughter.

Three years later, Connor from Brooklyn tried to force my brother's daughter into marriage, blacklisted me from every job, and had the hospital turn away my sister-in-law.

They thought I was just some grease monkey.

They didn't know the ring had a lion carved on it.

When I put it back on...

The entire underworld of New York would tremble.

I put up with my husband's cheating because I needed money for my brother's medical bills.

Until I found the heart donor report he'd been hiding in his study for three months. 98% match. He'd signed it "postpone."

That night, fireworks filled the London sky, his mistress laughing in the background. Standing over my brother's body, I finally got it—he'd been killing my brother all along.

I ripped up his check, sold every piece of jewelry he'd ever given me, and threw the divorce papers in his face.

"Murderer"—that's all I said.

Three years later, I'm getting a standing ovation at the Golden Hall. He shows up in the snow, eyes red, begging for forgiveness.

I just smiled. "Charles, you died three years ago."

"Stop—Daniel, the fk are you doing! I came here to learn to swim, not get fked!"
In the pool, because my kicks were all wrong, Daniel—my husband's cousin—told me to wrap my legs around his waist to "feel the rhythm."
Except I was wearing that scarlet bikini Vincent shoved me into—practically nothing. Even worse, Daniel's rk-hard ck in those thin trunks was jammed right up against my py.
Every time he kicked, that thing dragged right over my ct, like it was about to shove straight inside.

To save them, Aife agreed to leave with the man who slaughtered her pack. Little did she know her life would be at his mercy from the moment he threw her over his shoulder. In a matter of hours, Aife lost the title of the future Alpha and became the beast’s possession.

King Valerio's cold eyes searched through the small crowd, then on her. "I want the half-dead thing..." He calmly demanded.

The Alpha King hesistated, his expression thick with uncertainty. "Take her then, if it properly seals the treaty like you have demanded."

That moment, Evyths Thorne knew that her pack not only hated her but effortlessly threw her at the mercy of the very creature that could ruin what's left of her.

The ancient vampires in Ravencroft.

...
When Prince Valerio D'Arcy Belmont chooses a rejected omega as his treaty hostage, the supernatural world questions his sanity. But Valerio knows something they don't…

The moon goddess chose her. The pack destroyed her.
Evyths Thorne was an omega without a wolf, the weakest member of the Crescent Pack.
Her fate should have been simple: become Alpha Ryker's Luna.
But when her fated mate humiliates her one too many times, Evyths makes the ultimate choice.
She rejects him.
A decision that costs her everything.
Banished from the only home she's known, Evyths becomes a prisoner of the vampires and the possession of Prince Valerio D'Arcy Belmont — a cold, brilliant vampire who sees her as nothing more than a bargaining piece.
But when an ancient prophecy begins to awaken, the omega everyone called a curse may be the one supernatural creatures have been searching for.
And Valerio must decide.
Is she his greatest weakness?
Or his greatest weapon?

“If this girl asked you to kiss her, what would you do?”

“I would kiss her,” he breathed, his lips grazing just shy of hers.

Lisette’s breath faltered as she leaned in, drawn by the heat of him. The almost-touch was enough to make her shiver, but not enough to satisfy.

Her hands moved first, sliding over his chest, feeling the strength beneath her palms. He stilled—then gave in.

His mouth found hers, deeper this time, unhurried but certain. The world seemed to fall quiet around them, leaving only the warmth between their bodies and the quiet, undeniable pull to get closer.

I didn’t have the kind of body those women by the pool flaunted, but the way he looked at me, like I was the only thing he wanted, made me forget that.

I could hear his heart race as he spoke, my head pressed against his chest.

“And were you pleased with what you found?” I asked, giving in to the urge to find out exactly what he thought of me.

“I found you to be exactly what I had hoped for, after all these years. You’re smart, funny and generally adorable. You drive me insane with your stubbornness. You have a gorgeously alluring figure and a pure, sweet face. Most importantly, you’re someone who I could live with for the rest of eternity.” He squeezed me gently, running his fingers through my tangled hair.

"BREAKING NEWS: HOT BILLIONAIRE, TYLER SCHNEIDER’S FLASH MARRIAGE WITH A MYSTERIOUS WOMAN IN LAS VEGAS!

A failed proposal for him and a series of Mimosa for her led them to a wild lustful night in Sin City.

Tyler Schneider, a hot-headed billionaire, and Chloe Myers, an ambitious career woman, woke up naked and trapped in a piece of paper called ‘MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE’.

In just one night, Chloe Myers became Chloe Schneider.

“What’s there to lose? You get to be in bed with a hot rich guy like me, and I get to claim my inheritance. It’s a win-win situation,” oozing with annoying confidence, he pronounced as if marriage was just a game.

A contract, an agreement, a negotiation between them.
Will Chloe continue this accidental marriage? Or sign the divorce paper?

Which name befits her more, is it, Miss Myers or Mrs. Schneider?"

"We get married. For two years. Publicly. Legally. The whole deal."
I blinked. Then laughed—a short, breathless sound. "You're joking."
"I'm not," Andrew said, eyes unwavering. " You need protection from Nathan. I need access to destroy him. You were the one part of his life he never controlled. Now you'll be the weapon that ends him."
Nathan Frank—my husband of two years. Charismatic. Powerful. And utterly unfaithful.
I thought I was coming home to surprise him after a work trip.
Instead, I opened the bedroom door and found him tangled in the sheets with someone I never expected.
Someone whose face I barely glimpsed before she ran like a thief.
But I know that face.
Because it's identical to mine.
Julia—my twin sister. My blood. My betrayer.
That night destroyed everything: my trust, my identity, my carefully built life.
Now Nathan wants a clean divorce, and Julia stands by his side, unapologetic… pregnant.
But I won't be their collateral damage.
With Andrew—Nathan's former best friend turned sworn enemy—I strike a deal.
A marriage of convenience. A partnership built on strategy, not love.
Two years to regain control. To uncover the truth. To bring them both down.
Because this is no longer just about betrayal.
This is war.

Blaine proposed a contract marriage to Camilla, which was going to hold validity until his real fiancee opened her eyes, and they all could go back to their various lives. 'Party A shouldn't fall in love with party B, and if any of the parties break this clause, they are going to face a huge penalty'. They both knew that wasn't going to happen, or they thought so.

"Why are you messing around with me? Your job is just look pretty, and be my wife!" the cold man rumbled while glaring at Camilla, and a heavy sigh escaped her lips.

"And that is what I have been doing, Mr. Sanders!" she rattled, but the man hissed, not believing it. "No, you have been doing more. You had been seducing me, and snugging into my mind!" he accused.

"Was that a bad thing? So did you mean I should go away?" Camilla asked, meeting the man's fiery gaze, and she sucked in air when the man's hot palm touched her back. "No, even if you do, I am going to find you with my last breath, because you need to take responsibility for me," he says.

"So what happened to the no falling in love rule," Camilla asked with a solemn look. "Trash it!" he says, crashing his lips on hers.

In retaliation, the president imprisoned her and everyone blamed her for not seducing her president's brother-in-law, but no one knew that the president had fallen in love with her when she was still young. When the president began to change day by day, he suddenly realized that he had fallen in love with his sister-in-law, and what should he do with his wife who had returned from disappearance? Confusing relationship, complicated feelings, perhaps all this should not have started...

"You just made the biggest mistake of your life," he whispered, his voice carrying a promise of retribution that made my blood freeze.

All I wanted to do was save a girl. I saw a man in a $5,000 suit forcing a crying woman into a car. My instincts kicked in. I grabbed a bucket of filthy, stagnant bar water—cigarette ash, stale beer, and God knows what else—and hurled it right into his face.

I thought I was a hero.
I was an idiot.

The next day, my manager dragged me into his office, shaking. "Do you know who that was? That was Ethan Rossi. The heir to the biggest crime family on the East Coast."
He didn't want an apology. He didn't want the police.
He wanted $6,000 for a custom shirt I couldn't even afford to look at.

I have $50 to my name and an autistic brother to feed. I walked into the VIP lounge to beg for a payment plan, terrified he would kill me.
Ethan was sitting there, looking like a dark god, swirling his whiskey. He looked me up and down, his eyes stripping away my courage.

"I don't have the money," I whispered.
"I know," he said, his smile sharp as a blade. "But I have a proposition. Marry me."
He needs a fake wife to secure his inheritance. I need my debt wiped clean.
I signed the contract. I sold my freedom to the devil.
But on our wedding night, when he locked the door, I realized this devil might want more than just a signature...

Five yeas ago, we were hosting a family dinner when I walked into the study and found my father with his mistress.

He looked at me, voice flat and cold: "Alice Russo, you don't tell your mother about this. Trust me, you can't handle the fallout."

I didn't listen. Ran straight to my mother in tears and told her everything.

That night, Mother had her people remove the woman from the property.

The next morning, the woman's daughter Anya ran my mother down with her car at the docks.

That's when I realized, I was completely alone. Because my dad is taking his bastard daughter's side.

I called Victor Castro, my husband, 99 times. He never answered once.

I had a breakdown at the family tribunal. They physically removed me and had me committed to a psychiatric facility in Sicily, the worst kind of place you can imagine.

Five years later, Victor finally spoke to me.

The transport stopped outside the facility that day. Sunlight hit my eyes.

Two guards helped me to the car. My father stood there with a line of his men behind him.

In the crowd, I recognized Peter Thompson, one of my mother's most loyal people.

He gave me the smallest nod. Something flickered in his eyes.

I kept my expression neutral and got in the car.

The door closed. Victor sat across from me.

He lit a cigar and said it without any preamble:

"The day Anya ran your mother down at the docks? I paid for her legal team. I provided the witnesses. I signed the autopsy report myself."

I died in the tenth year of our marriage. Not from illness, but from thirty-six hundred days of silent cruelty and penance.

Ten years ago, during that avalanche, he grabbed my hand at the last second. The girl he loved got buried under all that snow.

After that, even breathing felt like a crime.

He drank himself into oblivion, stayed out all night, and on the anniversary of her death, he'd wrap his hands around my throat and ask, "Why wasn't it you?"

I loved him for fifteen years, from childhood sweethearts to bitter strangers. I gave everything for even a hint of warmth from him. What I got instead was him shoving me down the stairs for her little sister.

When I open my eyes again, wind cuts through me and snow fills the air. I'm ten years in the past, back to that afternoon in the Alps.

This time, I'll give you what you want.

Now, I’m trapped in a dark room while he watches me every moment of the day and night.
I don’t know his real name, only the number Azael gave him in the medical facility—514.
Each time I tried to communicate with 514, he looked at me with hatred in his eyes, so I stopped trying.
There are others in the house, but I never saw them. Sometimes, I think they are a flicker of my imagination, but then I hear them talking.
I want to ask the others to help me, but it’s impossible since 514 sewed my lips together, silencing me. - this is what I have for Trapped and I will change it since it's not telling at all


My fingers find their way into her hair, and I pull her head back.
“Where is my cock, little nymph?”
“In my ass,” she whimpers.
I keep slamming into her, sending waves of pleasure through our joined bodies.
“And do you like how hard I’m fucking you?”
“Yes! Please don’t stop.”
I take her at her word and don’t stop. Not for a long time. If there’s one thing that I don’t lack, it’s stamina, and how long I can last.
After her fifth orgasm from my cock in her ass, I stop counting.
At some point, I stop recording, drop my phone to my feet, and grab her hips with my hands and fuck her senseless. “Please cum,” she starts begging when her legs no longer support her. “Please!”
