"Is this your way of seducing me?" Clifton looked at the woman before him, wearing only a thin nightgown, her perfect curves exposed to his eyes.
"I admit, I'm attracted to you." Clifton suddenly lowered his head, his thin lips biting down on my collarbone, his fingers trailing down from my full chest, slipping between my thighs.
I was pinned down on the bed by Miranda, feeling the pleasure he b...

I spent a month planning our fifth anniversary trip—Yellowstone, camping under the stars, the kind of romance we hadn't had since before the company consumed our lives. I'd even bought baby shoes to give him by the campfire, ready to finally say: I want to start our family.

Then his mother called. Then his sister and her twin boys.

By the morning we were supposed to leave, the RV was packed—with...

“Evelyn, I can make you feel more fucked and satisfied than your ex-husband ever could.”

As the rhythm of our bodies quickened, I groaned and grasped the hair of the man above me. Ryan’s hand gripped and tormented my breasts, his thumb teasing my nipple, while his other hand pressed urgently against my clitoris.

“No matter who you were in the past, you belong to me now. Only to me.”

——

Evelyn ...

"If you hadn't played hero that day, Dayna," my father snarled, "we wouldn't be in this mess. Saving some random old woman and ruining your eyes! Do you have any idea what your medical bills cost us? Now a guy wants to marry you. Marry him quick and stop bothering us!"

I thought I married a cold-blooded businessman.

Three years of contract marriage, he lived at the other end of the hallway, never stepping into my room. I had the divorce papers signed, ready to tell him today.

Until that morning, I suddenly heard his thoughts.

When I walked into the dining room wearing a silk robe, he stared at his iPad, but his mind was screaming: *"She's not wearing a bra......

I died with Vivian's smile burned into my memory.

She shot my sister Emma, and my husband Damien just stood there and watched. As my heart stopped, the last thing I saw was Vivian's triumphant smirk.

Then I opened my eyes.

I was back on the day the nightmare began, the morning Damien announced he wanted to keep both me and Vivian.

In my past life, I cried, I fought, I resisted. And finally, I ...

My husband and I had an arrangement.

Ten years of marriage, him keeping mistresses while I pretended not to see. He called it a "modern open relationship." I called it "dignified mutual betrayal."

I thought we'd live like this forever, cold and calculated.

Until that night when his little lover brought him home, declaring her territory right in front of me.

In that moment, I suddenly smiled.

...

I heard the recording. My six-year-old son Jerry had been helping my husband cover up his affair, for an entire year.

Later, at his birthday party, I overheard his friends: "That's Jerry's nanny. His real mom works overseas."

My son told everyone I was just the nanny.

That day, standing in the hotel hallway, Jerry looked at me and said: "Can you promise to never come find me again? So Michelle ...

My daughter was taken by rogues, and my husband didn't care.

But when his childhood friend went missing in another attack, he spared no expense searching for her.

As I bled out that day, I had only one thought—I'm sorry, Lily. I'm so sorry I couldn't find you.

Then I opened my eyes and found mys...

Have you ever pressed your cheek against your mother's cold skin, pretending she was just sleeping?

I was five ye...

On my wedding night, my husband Tyler pushed me onto the poker table as his final bet.

"She's just a retard anyway—perfect for getting rid of a problem," he sneered.

I thought I'd found a kind, poor guy.

I t...

I "rescued" a gorgeous guy from harassment in a parking lot, then generously hired him as my driver—$200K a year, with weekly direct deposits of exactly $3,846.15.

I taught him not to buy fake Rolexes, warned him about fake Tom Ford suits, and even encouraged him to get an MBA to change his life. Poor guy was obviously broke but still "leased" a Tesla to look rich.

I even announced him as my boy...

I married a billionaire for a contract. Three years, five million dollars, zero feelings required.

He made me breakfast every morning but never said it was for me. He held me through my grandfather's death, then went back to calling me "Mrs. Sterling" like a stranger. For three years, I told myself this was fine. That I could leave when the contract expired.

Then his mother showed up with a chec...

During the wedding ceremony, just as the priest asked if I would take my fiancé Derek to be my husband, the church doors suddenly burst open.

A muddy little girl rushed in, shouting at Derek: "Daddy!"

The girl said her name was Mia, that she was Derek and Isabelle's daughter fr...

I died once.

In that moment when the out-of-control truck slammed into me, as I felt the poisoned blood flowing through my veins in that hospital bed, I saw everyone's true face—my beloved husband Marco, Lucia whom I'd treated like a sister, and that so-called sacred, untouchable Italian family.

But God gave me a second chance.

When I stood again in Saint Anthony's Church, watching that familia...

Everyone said I was a monster. On my wedding day, when my fiancé wanted to save a girl threatening to jump from a bridge, I told him to keep driving.

Even my future mother-in-law looked at me like I was a stranger.
But what if I knew something they didn't...

She was starving.

And Domenico Gravano—her devil father-in-law—was the only ma...

Pain shot through my body as I woke up. Every muscle ached in ways I'd never felt before. My face burned as memories flooded back: his body pressed against mine, his deep voice commanding "Engrave this name into your soul. From this night forward, you're mine—for a lifetime, for eternity." But now? He was gone. Just a card left behind like I was some transaction. My fingers trembled as I crumpled ...

My husband thinks I'm trying to destroy him. He's wrong. I'm dying to save him. I'm Persephone, and I have two secrets that are killing me: First—I've been covering up my drug-addicted husband's crimes for three years, watching Magnus hate me more with every lie I tell to protect him. Second—I have ALS. Two years to live, maybe less. But when his seductive ex-girlfriend returns promising a "cure" ...

When the hospital called, I thought I was going to lose him.

The moment I burst into his room, Nathan was alive, but the way he looked at me, like I was a complete stranger.

"I'm sorry, you are...?"

My husband had forgotten everything. Three years of marriage, from the moment we met to falling in love, all erased.

But what's even more absurd? He stared at his bother Nolan and said, "Did I just...

I trusted you with my heart, and you threw it away like yesterday's Christmas wrapping!"
Those were my last words before my husband and best friend pushed me off a cliff on Christmas Eve. But when I opened my eyes, I was back in my old bedroom—the day before my wedding. I'd been given a second chance.
This time, I won't marry the man who betrayed me. Instead, I'm teaming up with his biggest busine...

"Now that you're awake, we can get down to business." Alexander chuckled.

I froze mid-stretch. "What business?"

In one fluid motion, he rolled on top of me, his weight pressing me into the mattress as he tilted my chin up with his finger. His eyes, usually a cool blue, had darkened to the color of a stormy sea. "What do you think?" The husky quality of his voice sent shivers down my spine.
