Can she stand this man knowing how dangerous it would be to help this man and betray her brother?

She wasn’t supposed to remember him.

It was just one reckless night. One stupid dare. One kiss that should have ended everything before it began.

Because the man she walked away from without a name… isn’t a stranger.

He’s her fiancé’s elder brother.

And he doesn’t seem afraid of that at all.

Because this time, he isn’t walking away.

-“ She was playing with fire.
And damn it, I couldn’t say that I didn’t want her too.
There she stood, beautiful and sexy as fuck in her thin, barely covering a fucking thing, nightie.”

-“You really are a virgin.” He whispers in awe.
I don’t think he meant to say that out loud, talking to himself more than to me. The fact that he had any doubt on my words should have pissed me off, but it didn’t. So, instead of getting mad, I clench in return and moan. “Please.” I beg him.

—————— Gabriela: I just wanted to live a normal life. But that was taken away from me when my father demanded I marry a man I never met. Fate seems to have played another joke. The day we were to meet I end up being kidnapped by the rival Mafia gang. Just to find out I was the wrong kidnapped bride! But when Enzo Giordano came into play, I knew I didn’t want to go back. I had been secretly in love with him since I was a little girl. If this was to be my chance to get him to finally notice me, then by all means I was going to do it. But will he want me too? I am not so sure.

I was not supposed to arrive early for the early flight, but I did. The perfect marriage life I once thought was broken in front of me. I watched my husband and my trusted assistant cheat on me.
The wrong suitcase led me to meet the man I had ignored. Can it help me find a new love life?
How will Hannah retaliate in the face of betrayal? Can Hannah find new love?


There was something about Hannah that pulled me in, something I couldn't even explain. Even now, I know she is married, I found myself thinking about her more than I should.
The way her eyes lit up when she smiled, the way she laughed with such genuine joy—it was all so captivating. I wanted to be the one to make her smile, to be the one she turned to when she needed someone.
But then, reality hit me—she was still talking to Michael. The minutes ticked by, and I began to feel of jealousy. Did married couples have that much to discuss? How long could they possibly talk? Would Hannah ever want to talk to me for that long? These thoughts gnawed at me, making me restless.

Maya Hendricks is twenty eight years old, raising her son Eli alone in Chicago, and running out of road. She works three jobs, counts every dollar, and has not asked anyone for help in fourteen months. She is not proud of very much right now. But she is proud of that.
One cold November night she does something embarrassing. She texts the wrong number. A message meant for her sister goes to a complete stranger instead.
That stranger replies.
I think you have the wrong number. But I am listening, if you want.
His name is Nate. She does not know his last name. She does not know that he is Nathaniel Cole. founder of NovaCorp, worth eleven billion dollars, and completely alone in a life that looks perfect from the outside.
He does not tell her.
She does not ask.
What begins as a mistake becomes something neither of them can explain or walk away from. Two people from completely different worlds finding the one thing money cannot buy and survival cannot teach.
But secrets do not stay buried.
And love built on half truths must eventually face the whole story.
Wrong Number, Right Person…. because some mistakes change everything.

When I took my last breath, my boyfriend of five years was busy pulling strings to get his new model fling a runway spot.
Nobody knew he used to be a desperate stray I bought out of a dark alley. It started as a three-year contract. I burned millions to pave his way into the fashion elite, handing him top-tier campaigns until he became a global supermodel.
I stayed his dirty little secret so nothing would ruin his shot at "Model of the Year." He swore going public would kill his career, yet he had no problem parading around with young starlets—and letting them humiliate me behind closed doors.
His newest fling even smugly played a recording of him mocking me: "She’s just an ATM for brand deals. How could an uptight, older control freak ever compete with you?"
That was when I finally accepted it: love bought with money is just a transaction.
So, holding my terminal diagnosis, I signed over the last of my assets and quietly bowed out of his glamorous life forever.
I just don't understand one thing: if he was so sick of me, why did he completely lose his mind when he saw my death certificate? Why did he throw away everything he'd built, tearing the world apart to find me like a feral, abandoned dog?

I sacrificed everything to save my mother—even my freedom.

The night I won the award that was supposed to fund her life-saving surgery, I walked in on my fated mate tangled in bed with my best friend.

He said I was “too boring to love.”
She whispered my mother was “better off dead.”

Broken and desperate, I made the deal I swore I never would—I sold myself to Alpha Damien Gatsby, heir to the Gatsby empire.

Cold. Ruthless. The most powerful Alpha in Faellac City.

But I didn’t expect his touch to set my blood on fire.

And I never imagined the man with the coldest heart would steal mine.

Now the mate who betrayed me wants me back.

The Pack that rejected me wants me silenced.

And the Alpha who owns me… refuses to let me go—even if it destroys us both.

"Go take a shower. I'll be waiting in bed."

In the hotel room, Lydia was tipsy, her fingers fumbling absently with the man's tie. He leaned in close to her ear, his voice low and smooth: "Let's shower together."

She thought he was just a paid escort she'd hired for the night.

It wasn't until later that she found out — he was the wealthiest man in New York, the head of the Levitt family, Simon Levitt.


Lydia's life had never been her own. Her father wanted to marry her off to the playboy Ivor in exchange for business interests. Her stepmother Marlo and half-sister Natasha worked together to push her out. The inheritance left by her birth mother was withheld by her father as leverage. And at one point, her own father and stepmother had secretly plotted an accident to get rid of her for good. With nowhere left to turn, she struck a clear-headed deal with Simon — she would use his influence to break free from her constraints, and he would use the engagement to consolidate power within his family. The prenuptial agreement was spelled out in black and white. There was no room for feelings.

But fate never follows the script. Simon's ex, Elizabeth, suddenly reappeared claiming to be carrying his child. Natasha threw herself at him in a desperate attempt to take Lydia's place. And Simon and Ivor turned out to be half-brothers. Lydia's birth father's death also seemed tangled up in all of it. She was at the center of the storm, with danger closing in from every direction.

The man she thought was only using her kept showing up at her most dangerous moments — taking back her mother's inheritance, putting Hector in his place, shielding her from threats coming at her from all sides.

She asked him, "What do you actually want?"

He looked down, pressed his lips to hers, and said nothing.


Then one day, Lydia stumbled upon a long-buried secret between her mother and the Levitt family —

She and Simon had never been a coincidence. Not from the very beginning.

And Simon had known all along.

Behind this "mutually beneficial" arrangement, what was the truth that had been hiding there the whole time?
