“We are not meant to do this…” I gasped, breathless under the heat of his kisses.

“It’s not part of the contract.”

“Screw the contract. I want you,” Ethan cut in, passion burning in his eyes. “Right now.”

Ariana Cruz never thought her life would fall apart so fast. Once a celebrated relationship therapist with millions of followers, she had built her career on giving people love advice. But everything came crashing down when her longtime boyfriend exposed her deepest insecurities during a live broadcast. The humiliation went viral. Overnight, Ariana lost her reputation, her career, and the fans who once adored her.

Broke, broken, and desperate to rebuild, she swore never to trust another man. Until Ethan Vale walked into her life.

Ethan wasn’t just any man. He was the billionaire CEO of Vale Resorts. Powerful, arrogant, and one of her harshest critics. Their paths should never have crossed again, but fate had other plans. One reckless night of drinks and pent-up anger led to a scandalous one-night stand. When the tabloids got wind of it, Ethan made her an offer she couldn’t refuse.

A contract marriage. One year. No strings attached.

Ariana knows she should walk away. Ethan is dangerous, unpredictable, and controlling. But she signs the deal, believing she can keep her heart out of it.

She was wrong.

Now she’s caught in a storm of jealousy, betrayal, and sabotage. An ex who won’t let go, a rival who wants her ruined, and a family secret that could shatter everything she thought she knew.

The biggest danger of all isn’t the contract or the enemies circling them. It’s the way her heart betrays her every time Ethan touches her.

Is he her captor… or the only man she has ever truly loved?

Dr. Ellie Winslow is a woman whose life runs on spreadsheets and rigorous control. After surviving a devastating childhood attack by her father, she built an academic sanctuary, choosing partners who would never trigger the overwhelming protective instincts of her three older brothers.

But stability shatters the day she catches her boyfriend cheating.

Just hours later, she finds herself reluctantly accepting a deal from Rhys Vance, Formula 1's most disciplined and annoyingly perfect CEO. Rhys isn't just a world-class competitor; he's her brothers' best friend and the one person Ellie desperately wishes would stay out of her life. Seizing the opportunity presented by her sudden chaos, Rhys whisks Ellie onto his private jet, effectively co-opting her. He hires her as his personal strategist, forcing her into a suffocating, global proximity across the F1 season. Rhys's relentless precision feels like a subtle critique of her messy existence, rooted in a shared history that makes her trust his duty, but never his heart.

Trapped between continents and beneath Rhys’s controlling gaze, Ellie filters his quiet, relentless attention as clinical duty; she misses the possessive gaze, the deep devotion, and the danger he hides behind his F1 precision.

Rhys knows the rule: Ellie is completely off-limits. To break the line means paying The Best Friend's Price—the loss of his brothers' loyalty, the end of his oldest bond. But the cost of not claiming Ellie might be the loss of his sanity, especially as the deepfakes, the corporate pressure, and the ghost of their shared traumatic past begin to stir. When an unsettling encounter with a rival threatens Ellie, Rhys must protect her with a ferocity that crosses every boundary he swore he’d uphold, forcing them to confront the dangerous truth about their connection.

Not all roses have thorns, and neither are all monsters born a beast.
“Close your eyes, princess. I’m only going to kiss your beautiful, plump lips... that’s all.” His breath felt hot as it ghosted against the skin of my cheek, flowing straight into my head and making me feel drunk dazed in a fleeting second.

“If you make a sound into the kiss, maybe I’d forget about my previous promises and tie you up beautifully, and perhaps – give you kisses in other parts of your body, especially your other pair of lips which is definitely slicking up right now.”

I whimpered.

“And I’d definitely use my tongue to lick into your lower lips, and get it wetter with...”

Sinfully hot Xavier Costello is a dangerously cunning Mafia lord who was ruthless, heartless and passionate about nothing but his Mafia. Althea Rodriguez, an eighteen year old girl who was as innocent and powerless as a lamb, got betrothed to him – a man she has never met, but had heard uncountable scary rumors about. There was a twelve years gap between them, which made Althea quiver in fear about the thought of getting married to him.

Not all roses have thorns, and neither are all monsters born a beast. And in this case, when two complete opposites are forced together, unexpectedly, intriguing things are bound to happen.

Everything always comes to Xavier with a price, including Love– and he’s going to either cling to his pride and lose the best thing that had ever happened to him, or do the necessary needful.

With claws like secrets threatening to tear them apart and unexpected betrayals from all angles, Althea is going to be thrown in the middle of the dangerously muddled mess filled with guns, men unbelievably heartless than Xavier, and power-starved monsters.

"Suck my cock, Rosabella. That's all you're good at. A hopeless orphan can only dream of luxury. Keep your filthy mouth out of my affair…use it only to make me cum."
Bella Hale has known suffering her entire life. Orphaned at sixteen, she survives on scraps and desperation. She does whatever it takes not to starve with only little dignity intact.
She envies the rich—people who seem immune to hardship and pain. Yet she promised herself that if she ever got her hands on one of them, she would never let go. She was done suffering.
Lucian Rodriguez is everything she should despise.
A cold, selfish, ruthless billionaire with little conscience and no mercy…
a man who knows how to smile for the world while keeping his darkness well hidden.
Their worlds collide when Lucian's four-month-old daughter goes missing… and Bella finds her.
Lucian offers no gratitude…and Bella refuses to let the opportunity slip. She demands compensation. Not just money, but security. A lifetime guarantee that she will never be poor again. In return, she will do whatever he wants. Her body. Her life. He can have it all.
Bella is taken into his world—strictly as a deal.
What she doesn't realize is that when you make a deal with the devil, you should never expect it to be fair.
And she will learn too late that being poor was far better than belonging to Lucian Rodriguez.
A deal turns into obsession.
Survival into desire.
Desire into Hate.
Hate into Love.
That love and commitment becomes the biggest and worst mistake.
Will Bella's desperate deal destroy her?
Or Will she become Lucian's destruction?

They call him a villain. I call him stepbrother.

My life was a pastel dream of university lectures and family inheritance—until my mother married Nikolai Volkov, a man whose wealth is shadowed by a dangerous, unseen empire. Overnight, I, Anya Petrova, am pulled into a world of cold luxury and deadly secrets.

Then I meet him: Dimitri Volkov.

My new stepbrother is a weapon in an Italian suit. Calculating, precise, and possessing sapphire eyes that hold the chilling emptiness of a man who has traded his soul for power. He doesn’t want me; he wants the assets my father left behind. He sees me as a pawn in his long-game plan for vengeance against his own father.

I should run. I should scream his secrets to the world. But Dima’s control is a gilded cage I find myself leaning into, and his ruthlessness mirrors the desperate loneliness in my own heart. He pushes boundaries until our quiet hostility combusts into a desperate, forbidden affair.
When the line between vengeance and obsession blurs, I discover a dangerous truth: Dima is not just planning his father's destruction—he's planning to claim the asset, the empire, and me, as his ultimate spoils.
In the dark game of forbidden desire, the price of control is absolute. And I am about to pay it.

My BDSM master is my dad's friend?
"My perfect little sub," he murmured huskily against my lips, his voice thick with desire as he continued to explore the depths of my mouth with his tongue. He reached over to turn off the running water. In a smooth motion, he effortlessly lifted me and settled me onto the slightly elevated sink.
"Raise your shirt." his voice was a low command. I complied without hesitation, lifting the fabric slowly until it gathered just below my belly button.
My pussy was in full view now and he stared at it, appearing completely enamored by my body.
"Now, hug your legs," he directed firmly.
I took in a deep breath and followed his instruction, pulling my legs in and forming them into a shape M that exposed my most intimate self to him.


Celia Bennett has always obeyed.
Sheltered by a powerful father, trained to serve—not live—she’s never questioned her place. Until Pierre Bronsnic arrives.
Suave. Dominant. Dangerous.
Her father’s old friend... and a man who thrives on control.
Pierre sees the truth behind her polished mask. With a single touch, he draws Celia into a world of silk ropes, whispered commands, and the intoxicating pull of surrender. Under his guidance, she begins to unravel—awakening to pleasure, power, and the thrill of being owned.

Her 22nd birthday will be her breaking point—or her rebirth.

He was Hollywood’s untouchable king—until she stopped begging for a seat at his table.
Lyara McKinley once had Mikael Roosevelt’s face plastered on every wall of her small-town bedroom. For three years, she chased the spotlight just to be near the world’s most adored actor—the billionaire with a smile that sold out movies and broke hearts. But when she finally stood in front of him, he didn’t even see her. His guards shoved her aside like she was nothing.
That’s when Lyara stopped caring. And that’s when Mikael noticed.
Now he’s done more than buy her modeling agency—he’s bought her. Every contract, every outfit, every breath she takes belongs to a man who collects rare things and calls them his. He burned the hoodie her best friend gave her. Replaced her furniture with a single velvet chair. Slid a diamond collar around her neck and called it an engagement ring.
Lyara is supposed to smile for the cameras and whisper “I love you” in his ear. But the girl from nowhere has teeth. Every time he pushes, she pushes back harder.
He says he wants to own her. She says he’ll never break her.
In this twisted game of obsession and power, the line between hate and hunger is about to ignite. And neither of them is ready for how hot the fire will burn.

"The Price of His Heart" follows Sophie Chen, a brilliant but struggling marketing executive who carries the weight of a difficult choice she made three years ago. Back then, she was a fresh graduate who fell deeply in love with Alexander Reid, an ambitious young entrepreneur. When her father's company faced bankruptcy and her mother's medical bills mounted, Sophie made the heartbreaking decision to accept a competitor's offer to spy on Alexander's growing tech startup – betraying both his trust and her own heart.
Now, Alexander is no longer the passionate dreamer she once knew. He's transformed into a ruthless billionaire CEO, and through a twist of corporate fate, he's just become her new boss. Sophie expects revenge, humiliation, or at least cold indifference. Instead, she finds herself increasingly confused by his actions – he defends her during board meetings, promotes her innovative ideas, and seems to appear whenever she's in trouble.
What Sophie doesn't know is that Alexander has spent the last three years trying to understand why the only woman he ever truly loved betrayed him. His apparent kindness masks a deeper purpose: he's determined to uncover the full truth about what happened three years ago, even as his heart wages war with his head every time she's near.
As they navigate their complex present while confronting their painful past, both must face difficult questions: Can true love survive betrayal? Is redemption possible when trust has been shattered? And most importantly – when you've hurt someone deeply, do you deserve a second chance at love?

"Sign it." Christian's voice was cold, stripped of all emotion.
Crystal's fingers trembled around the pen as the words "Dissolution of Marriage" blurred through her tears.
Across from her, Ilda crossed her legs, smiling like she had already won. Her hand caressed the slight curve of her stomach, a silent declaration: I'm the one he chose. I'm the one giving him the child he always wanted.
Life in the Blake family was a nightmare for Crystal. Despite being married to Christian Blake, the powerful CEO, for three years, she couldn't conceive, becoming the target of endless scorn and humiliation. When Crystal finally found out about Christian affair with his mistress, Ilda, the woman he'd chosen over her, her heart shattered. But just when she thought things couldn't get worse, she found herself carrying Christian's child in secret.
However, as Christian prepares to marry Ilda, a shocking truth emerges—the child she was carrying was not his. What will happen when Christian realizes the woman he betrayed and cast aside had his heir all along? Will he regret his choices, or has he already lost everything, including Crystal's love?

Just one night — born from long hesitation and an unusual decision — changes their lives forever.
Are they ready to face the consequences of a passion so wild… and so bought?
Amidst fateful coincidences and the twisted games of destiny, can they still recognize love when it finally appears?

"My world is extremely dark, coloured by blood and decorated with dead bodies. You can still escape." Dalton Riggs stood before me, a gun carelessly resting in his sleek fingers, looking like a fallen angel.

He wasn't the fake heir like Jason; he was the King of the Underworld. He offered me an out, but he didn't know my secret.

"Maybe Dahlia Brooks isn't suitable to be your wife," I stepped closer, my heels clicking on the marble floor. "But have you heard of Dahlia Banks?"

His eyes narrowed. He knew the name. The Banks—a mafia family as old and dangerous as his own. Jason had treated me like a boring, predictable doll, unaware that he was dating a mafia princess who knew how to assemble a Glock blindfolded. He betrayed me for a weak, crying girl. Big mistake.

"I don't care what others like," Dalton whispered, pulling me into his dangerous orbit. "I love mine wild and unruly." I smiled, feeling the thrill of power returning. "Then I will gladly marry you, Sir Dalton."

My father wants to kick me out? Jason wants to ruin me? Let them try. I’m bringing the entire underworld to my wedding, and the streets of Goldville are about to run red.

At twenty-nine, Dominic Brooks owns this city's underworld.

This year, I'm pregnant again. Finally.

But on our daughter's death anniversary, he doesn't show. Five hours. Nothing.

I find him at our casino with some girl draped all over him. The same girl I pulled out of a trafficking ring two years ago.

She's laughing loud enough for everyone to hear. "His wife won't stop crying about that dead kid. God, he's so over it."

He kisses her. Right in front of me.

Three days later, he tears up our daughter's grave. His mistress wants a swimming pool.

The shovel comes down. My unborn baby goes with it.

Years ago, Dominic taught me the rules of our world. How we handle traitors.

Time for a reminder.

My husband Ronald's best friend Clyde died three months ago, and with his last breath, he made Ronald promise to take care of his pregnant widow, Jennifer. From that moment, Jennifer invaded our lives, and I was only four months pregnant at the time.

Then Jennifer got caught in a gang shootout. She needed an emergency blood transfusion, and she had this rare blood type—Rhnull. Turns out, I'm Rhnull too.

To save Jennifer and her baby, Ronald forced me to abort mine.

They said we were perfect for each other.
I believed them until I clicked on a video that shattered everything.
My husband and his adopted sister was sleeping on our bed.
Eight years later.
My ex came to me.
He wants to prove he's changed.
I don't need his redemption.
The manuscript between us reveals the truth he tried to bury.
Every lie, every cancellation, and every moment I diminished myself for a man who cheated me.
Now, he must edit the story of how he destroyed me.
I'm going to make him read every word.
This isn't about forgiveness.
It's not about second chances.
It's about a woman who learned that the best revenge isn't making someone regret losing you. It's building a life so full that their absence becomes irrelevant.

Five years later, when I was released from prison, my mansion was confiscated, my company fell into the hands of my younger brother, and the woman I loved with all my heart was nestled in my brother's arms, mocking my misfortune.

They had been having an affair for a long time, and even my imprisonment was a conspiracy meticulously planned by this despicable couple!

They thought that by draining my blood, they could forever condemn me to oblivion.
