Too Late For Regret, Mafia Capo

Too Late For Regret, Mafia Capo

I was about to marry Dante, a ruthless New York Mafia boss. However, just three blocks away from the cathedral, his ex-wife sent a text message saying their son was coughing up blood. This was the third time, and Dante abandoned me at the altar once again, transferring a hundred million dollars to me as compensation instead. I accepted the money, but his ex-wife did not stop there. She moved into my home with her son, faked an illness, and tried to force me out. The last straw that broke me happened at the airport, when the little heir, instigated by his mother, viciously pushed me from behind. I fell hard onto the cold marble floor and lost the child I did not even know I was carrying. As I lay in a pool of my own blood, Dante's mother coldly gave an order over the phone: "The child is dead. You need to protect the living heir and Isabella's status." Dante looked at me, his face full of guilt, but eventually, he turned and walked away with them. To compensate for the child I lost, he threw a massive business empire at me, expecting me to continue waiting in the shadows while he enjoyed his family's bliss. I finally understood that in the face of his mafia bloodline, my loyalty meant absolutely nothing. With a steady hand, I signed the asset transfer documents and did not hesitate to liquidate all the properties he had given me. Then, I boarded a private cartel jet flying to Switzerland. This time, I am going to build an empire of my own!
The Runaway Bride's Redemption

The Runaway Bride's Redemption

In the bustling city of Palmer, a striking beauty named Jane Hart lived a life of modest means with her father Mark, a retired construction worker. Despite her impoverished background, Jane's goddess-like physique - slim, svelte, with black tresses, brown eyes, and baby's skin - belied her station as a mere waitress struggling to make ends meet. One fateful day, while working as a cleaner at an art gallery, Jane's path crossed with that of Brandon Harrington, the heir to a prominent crude oil empire. Brandon was instantly captivated by Jane's ethereal beauty, and struck up a conversation about art that revealed her unexpected depth of knowledge. Recognizing her potential, he offered her a job as his secretary. Jane eagerly accepted, and on her first day, her beauty mesmerized the entire office, including Brandon himself. As they grew closer, an undeniable attraction blossomed between them, much to the chagrin of Brandon's long-time colleague Isabella Normand, who became consumed with jealousy. When news of their budding romance reached Brandon's aristocratic parents, Edward and Evelyn Harrington, they were appalled at the prospect of their son consorting with a woman of such low birth. Determined to put an end to the affair, they hired a private investigator who uncovered Jane's sordid past as a former prostitute, a desperate means of survival she had long since left behind. Devastated by the revelation, Brandon found himself torn between his love for Jane and the demands of his formidable parents, who insisted he break off the engagement and marry the more socially acceptable Isabella Normand, whose father was a valued business associate. Reluctantly, Brandon acquiesced, shattering Jane's heart and casting her back into poverty. Undeterred, Jane invested her meager savings into launching her own fashion company, a long-held dream that blossomed into remarkable success. However, fate had more twists in store as a financial crisis struck, decimating the Harrington empire and leaving Brandon and Isabella destitute. In a cruel twist of fate, Brandon found himself seeking employment at Jane's thriving fashion house, where he was granted an interview – only to come face-to-face with his former love. Despite the pain of their past, Jane's forgiving nature prevailed, and she hired Brandon as an accountant. But their reunion was short-lived, as Jane's new, wealthy companion grew increasingly possessive and abusive, culminating in a shocking public assault witnessed by Brandon. Outraged, Brandon intervened, reigniting the spark between him and Jane as her companion stormed off, their engagement shattered once more. Seizing the opportunity, the impoverished Brandon rekindled his relationship with Jane, harboring ulterior motives to exploit her wealth and regain his former opulence. Yet Jane's friend warned her of Brandon's deceitful plans, prompting her to hire a private investigator who uncovered Brandon's embezzlement of company funds. Confronted with the truth, Jane was forced to face the harsh reality of Brandon's betrayal. He was swiftly prosecuted and imprisoned, leaving Jane heartbroken but ultimately free to find true love and happiness with her reconciled companion. Together, they married and welcomed a beautiful daughter, a testament to Jane's resilience and the triumph of her unwavering spirit over the adversities that once threatened to consume her.
Whispers of a double life

Whispers of a double life

The city's skyline was both stunning and threatening as it shone through the morning mist. Sophia Brown almost appeared to be someone else from the penthouse window of a chic condo in Jersey City-perhaps a corporate consultant or a real estate lawyer with a wine collection and a Pilates routine. Instead, she was a fugitive who breathed stolen air under the alias "Sophia Brown," with miles of lies covering up her true past. She tightened the silk robe around her waist and looked at Rodriguez Martinez, the man who was still sleeping next to her. Rich, hospitable, and dangerously in love. He had no idea that the woman he revered was hiding not only from her past but also from those who would do anything to keep it hidden. Sophia did not have a Brown birth name. Serena Ramirez was born to Don Ramirez, a powerful businessman who later became a criminal who ran an empire that was built on charm, fraud, and occasionally blood. Her early years had taught her survival skills and manipulation. But Serena vanished when Don's empire collapsed. She needed to. She was told not to talk about threats, a fire, or the death of her brother. Only her stepsister, Felicia Lawson, knew where Serena had gone after she left. Felicia was always the preferred child and the one who knew how to wear a secret like a diamond necklace, so the two of them had never been able to get along. However, the Ramirez family's blood had an odd way of sticking to each other. Serena, now Sophia, had known other men like Rodriguez Martinez. He did not inquire excessively or delve into her resume's omissions. He managed investments for clients who wore gold Rolexes and committed legal offenses while working in finance. Sophia possessed a grace that he thought was uncommon in his world: she was a woman devoid of ambition or calculation. He was, of course, wrong. Everything about Sophia's life had been planned. Her relationship with Rodriguez had begun as a means of self-defense and the creation of a new identity within the life of a respectable man. Despite her better judgment, she had slowly fallen for him. Her first error was that. Her second came when she began utilizing Rodriguez's access to look into the funds that vanished when her father passed away. Money does not simply disappear. It conceals. Felicia entered the city without prior notice. In a beige trench coat and sunglasses, she showed up at Sophia's door as if she were just another socialite looking for brunch. Sophia, however, knew better. Felicia never showed up without a reason. "What do you desire?" Sophia inquired. Felicia laughed. "Funny. I was going to inquire similarly of you. They sat opposite one another as if playing chess. Felicia declared, "Dad is back." "And now he is dying." Sophia hesitated. "Good." "You did not intend that. He desires to see you. "He probably wants to kill me." Felicia lost her smile. "Maybe. Or perhaps he wants to reveal the truth to you about your brother." Sophia had always held the belief that the fire that destroyed their family's estate was the cause of Julian's death. Felicia and their father's old friends told the tale in low tones. However, Felicia was now implying that it was a fabrication. Julian was still alive. He had vanished. Perhaps he is still alive. Sophia was crushed by the possibility's weight. Everything she had built was based on a bigger lie if Julian had lived. Rodriguez noticed that she had changed-she was now more icy and distracted. He said one night, his voice thick with worry, "You're pulling away." "What are you not telling me?" She nearly informed him. Almost confessed everything, including the fire, her brother, her stolen identity, and ruined past. She just couldn't. No, not yet. Using Rodriguez's network, Sophia retraced the old money. She was shocked to discover accounts linked to a shadow corporation in the Cayman Islands. Are you one of the recipients? Julian Ramirez is a man. Without informing Rodriguez, she booked a flight to the Bahamas. Felicia demanded to go with her when she found out. She stated, "Whether we like it or not, we're in this together now." They found the bank in Nassau. They came across the account. They also discovered Julian. The sight of them did not surprise him. He said, "It was Dad's idea." He fabricated the fire. I remained alive. I was expelled. "Why?" Shaky, Sophia asked. Because I was too knowledgeable. about the people for whom he worked. about the things they wanted from him and you. Rodriguez was spiraling back in New Jersey. He was beginning to investigate Sophia's identity. He discovered a photo, a newspaper article, a police report-each presented a different picture. Then Sophia came back. Before he could respond, she said, "I'm not who you think I am." Serena Ramirez: My name is Serena. Don Ramirez is my father. My brother is still here. Furthermore, I have misled you about everything." Rodriguez was torn between anger and sadness as he stared at her. He told her, "I loved you."
A Change of Heart - Yaoi

A Change of Heart - Yaoi

‘Hardly anyone ever comes to this part of the library’ Ken said casually. ‘Is that right?’ Mustang said. ‘So…we won’t be disturbed.’ Ken’s heart jolted. He instantly tried to rise but Mustang stopped him, grabbing him by the arms and sitting on his lap facing him, pinning him down. ‘Oh no you don’t’ Mustang told him. He smirked again. ‘You practically ran into my trap…there’s no escape now.’ Ken stared back at Mustang in shock, wide-eyed and heart hammering in his chest. He swallowed at the lump in his throat. Mustang leant forward, resting his forehead against Ken’s as he spoke. ‘Are you going to call for help?’ he asked him. ‘There are people just on the other side of those bookshelves.’ He sneered. ‘But then what would they think if they saw us?’ ‘Don’t…’ Ken whispered. ‘Please…’ ‘I've wanted you for ages’ Mustang told him. ‘I can’t resist you any longer.’ Ken squeezed his eyes tight shut as Mustang leant forward, kissing him. He balled his fists, trying to lean away from him, but had nowhere to go. Mustang moved back slightly, looking into Ken’s face. He released one of his arms to stroke his face, his fingers coming to his lips. ‘Open your mouth’ he told Ken. When Ken didn’t listen, he said, ‘if you don’t, I will have you. Right here and now.’ Ken opened his mouth, breathing in a deep breath. Mustang descended upon him again, kissing him deeply, slipping his tongue inside his mouth, tasting him. Savouring him. After several seconds, Mustang drew back suddenly. He got off him, rising to his feet and simply walking away as if nothing had happened. He just left. Love Yaoi? Love sex? Love a good story? Ken had everything he thought he ever wanted, a future all planed out, a girlfriend, a loving family. But his life takes a different direction when he meets Mustang, a carefree and wild spirit, who challenges everything Ken thought he knew, as the events of a single day change his life forever. Thanks to Mustang, Ken begins to realise that what he wants in life, is not what he first thought, as he begins to experience feelings towards Mustang he never expected.
