Since Traizle was still young, they, along with her two younger brothers, had already experienced the violent hands of their mother. All her mother wants is to buy what can make her more beautiful and elegant, but she cannot sustain the love and care that her children need. One day, their parents separated. Their father left to live a new life with his new family. After a few months, when they wake up, there are also no traces of their mother.

Traizle took on the heavy responsibility of looking after her siblings in order for them to live and survive. A well-known multi-billionaire met a well-known person in need of money. What will happen to both of them?

Where Power Meets Passion, and Legacy Meets Love
Lesley Miller was born into quiet luxury — crystal chandeliers, whispered reputations, and a last name that opened every door. But when her father’s empire collapses, the golden girl of old money finds herself standing in ruins.
Enter Osman Luxford — the self-made billionaire who built everything from dust. The middle son of New York’s most formidable family, Osman is power in human form: calm, brilliant, and impossible to ignore.
What begins as a contract marriage built on debt and duty soon becomes something raw and undeniable. In the marble halls of the Luxford Mansion, rivalry turns to longing. Her pride meets his precision, and every stolen glance threatens to rewrite their fate.
But in a world ruled by legacy, reputation, and control, love is the one currency they can’t predict.
Old Money is a story of two worlds colliding — where new ambition meets old grace, and where the heart dares to want more than status. From Manhattan’s skyline to the hush of private estates, Lesley and Osman must learn that true wealth isn’t in inheritance or ambition, but in love that defies it all.

Lilith Deville is the new enigma at Lakeside Preparatory Academy, a prestigious high school by a river and not a lake, which makes sense, not. Already she hates it despite its beautiful landscape.

Between riding her dirt bike through the sacred lands of the natives, plotting against those she meets, and holding greasy truckers at gunpoint, Lilith makes no time for love or friendship. Forever the walking mystery (read misery) of her new home and school.

That is until Nokosi Locklear catches her eye with his arrogance and a hard, toned body that she’s certain she doesn’t want to climb.

Life is only fun when you have somebody else’s pain to focus on. So long as you stay detached. Something Lilith will find is impossible to do when it comes to Nokosi. A guy with looks but no charm. Strength but no power. Love but no morals.

With a serial killer roaming the States, taking victims one by one, a past in Nokosi’s eyes that he tries to hide, and a mother that would rather work than keep her daughters happy, Lilith finds plenty of time to spare and plenty of things to keep herself occupied.

A one night stand with a man in exchange for cash. It was supposed to be that simple for Therese, a struggling college student who was in desperate need of money. Although she could not forget the handsome stranger who took her virginity, she willed herself to move on and look for a more stable source of income. But the next day, Therese received an email from a man named Raven Desmond, offering her a babysitting job with a suspiciously huge pay.

Raven Desmond had it all. He is young, handsome, and the heir to a billion-dollar tech company called DesmondTech. Despite being a single dad, he could have any woman he wanted and Therese was no exception. After their one night stand, he was left craving for more. Specifically, her body. It was a coincidence that his 5-year old son, Keith Desmond, was needing a nanny when he saw that she was needing a job. Raven will do anything to have the best of both worlds. He wasted no time and sought for Therese as he gave her a once in a lifetime opportunity that she wouldn’t be able to resist.

Surprisingly, she found herself growing attached to her job and slowly falling in love with Raven.

When a medical diagnosis rattles Andrew's carefully managed life and sets his volatile family on edge, he decides appearances need fixing.
What he needs is a fiancée. What he offers is one million dollars for one year. The money would save Sophia's farm outright. And the image of a diamond on her finger, of Daphne forced to watch—sharpens the temptation to a dangerous edge.
Sophia agrees. She steps into Andrew's world of obscene wealth, jealous socialites, and an overbearing chaotic family that treats appearances like currency. Fake kisses are expected. Convincing smiles are mandatory.
The problem is, Andrew plays his role too well—and the reasons behind this engagement begin to feel far from innocent. Because Andrew Ashford didn't choose Sophia at random. One year. One million dollars. And a lie that's starting to feel dangerously real.

It’s supposed to be a contract built on revenge cold, calculated, and temporary. But when lines blur between business and desire, Elena realizes that her greatest challenge isn’t destroying her ex… it’s keeping her heart from falling for Adrian, the man who promised her vengeance but gave her something far more dangerous a second chance at love.

"Devil?" I watch as his red eyes light up in amusement, his fangs gleaming in the moonlit night before he answers, grinning. "I like the sound of that."

To the world, Maria is the perfect silent wife—beautiful, obedient, and deaf.
But behind closed doors, she hears everything, including the love her cold billionaire husband swears he'll never confess.
When she secretly trades places with her troubled twin, a web of lies, danger, and forbidden truths unravels.
He thinks he's lost the only woman he's ever loved.
She may never make it back to him alive.
A marriage built on silence.

"Marry me."
What the hell?
"Put this on tomorrow," he expained, "You're going to tell the press that Bella cheated on me, and that's when we started dating. When Bella found out, she tried to break us up. When that didn't work, she blackmailed you into posting the photo. That way, it looks like I hate you- but we've already reconciled."
How did I get myself into this kind of mess?


Laura finds herself in a devastating dilemma when her mother is kidnapped. Her captors demand she post a photo of Eric Sloan- the son of a multi-billionaire- together with Damien Avery, the prime minister's son, and tag them as gay lovers. To save her mother, Laura reluctantly follows through.
But the fallout is swift.
Her post draws the wrath of Eric Sloan along with his powerful family and legions of loyal fans.
To control the narrative and erase the rumors, Eric gives her a shocking ultimatum: marry him. Publicly, it will discredit the scandal. Privately, it's his way of punishing her.
He promises himself one thing- he'll ruin her.
But as layers of deception peel away, Eric's thirst for revenge twists into something far more dangerous: obsession. Now, all he wants is to protect her, claim her, own her- and keep her trapped in his dark abyss.

A fake engagement. A kidnapped mother. A billionaire who demands a bride.

Blogger Laura Karma had a choice: risk her mother's life or post a lie that would destroy billionaire Eric Sloan's spotless reputation. She chose the lie, exposing Eric as "gay" and plunging his world into scandal.

Now, she's in his crosshairs. Arrogant, cold, and vengeful, Eric offers a cruel, inescapable deal: marry him for one year to repair his public image, or he will use his power to ruin her life and expel her brother from Harvard. Trapped with her mother's fate hanging in the balance, Laura is forced to agree to become the fake Mrs. Sloan.

A marriage built on lies, threats, and betrayal shouldn't breed love, but the closer Laura gets to her husband, the more the lines between acting and reality begin to blur. Yet, with Eric's ruthless business rival Aaron and his own sister Agatha plotting their downfall, their fake union is the only thing standing against a world determined to tear them apart.

When the contract ends, will Laura walk away with her life intact, or will she lose her heart to the very man who vowed to make her existence a living hell?

The last of the Dusk bloodline. Royal, radiant, and as foolish as the ones who betrayed me centuries ago. She was meant to burn like the rest of them. I wanted her human ash beneath my boots.
