Series One: On her wedding day, Isabella Hernando stared into the mirror and wondered- how could she possibly marry someone she barely remembered? Miguel Martez, the man she was arranged to wed, was only a childhood friend who had long since disappeared. But just before the ceremony was about to begin, Miguel vanished without a trace. To save the family's reputation, Maximilian Martez, his elder brother, was forced to take his place at the altar- without anyone knowing, not even the bride herself. But when Isabella finally stood before the man, she was shocked. That face, those eyes... that voice... Series Two: Adeline Martez is a quiet, introverted girl who grew up cherished and spoiled by her parents. Marriage was never something she worried about-until the day her parents announced her arranged match. Her groom-to-be? Jason Castello-the man she despised most. Her senior. Her tormentor. The shameless bully who had made her school days miserable. Adeline fought with everything she had to escape the engagement. But the harder she pushed him away, the tighter Jason held on. One stubborn cat. One relentless dog. When hatred sparks, tempers clash, and neither is willing to surrender- how does a battlefield turn into a marriage?

Husband By Error Chapter 1 1

"Watch where you're going next time."

The voice was deep, cold, and commanding.

Isabella looked up, frowning-just in time to see the back of a tall man in an elegant black suit walking away without even glancing at her.

"What? You should be the one watching where you're going!" she snapped, but he had already vanished into the crowd.

She sighed heavily. "Great. Just great. Can this day get any worse?" she muttered under her breath.

Bending down, she gathered the scattered documents across the lobby floor. "I stayed up all night organizing these files for today's presentation, and now this happens..." she grumbled, brushing the dust off a folder.

Unbelievable. He bumps into me, and I get the blame.

Once everything was back in order, Isabella hurried inside, clocked in, and half-ran up the stairs toward the second-floor meeting room.

The moment she opened the door, her heart stopped. Everyone was already seated-her manager, Mr. Luiz, and several important clients.

"Good morning. I'm terribly sorry for being a little late," she said politely, bowing slightly to hide her panic.

"Why not just come at noon while you're at it?"

That cold voice again. Isabella froze.

She turned toward the speaker-and her blood ran cold.

No way. It was him.

The man from the lobby.

Oh, God. Don't tell me he's our client?!

Her face drained of color. She bit her lower lip unconsciously.

"Isabella, why are you still standing there? Sit down. The meeting's about to start," Mr. Luiz reminded her.

"This is Mr. Maximilian Martez, our client. He's entrusted our firm to design the cover for his new product line."

Maximilian Martez. So that's his name.

Isabella forced a polite smile and quickly sat down. Inside, she was silently praying he wouldn't recognize her. But luck clearly wasn't on her side.

"Do you always behave like this?" Maximilian's cold voice cut through the air.

"I-excuse me?" she stammered.

"What time did you leave home this morning?"

"Seven twenty, sir."

He arched a brow. "So you gave yourself ten minutes to get here? If you worked for me, I would've fired you already."

Isabella swallowed hard. You've got to be kidding me. I was late because of you!

"I'm sorry, sir. There was a small... accident downstairs."

"Oh? So now you're making excuses?" Maximilian replied flatly. "If everyone used that logic, the world would stop working."

Sharp tongue, perfect suit. What a delightful combination, Isabella cursed silently, lowering her head further.

Mr. Luiz quickly stepped in. "Mr. Martez, we apologize for the delay. Shall we continue with the presentation?"

Maximilian was silent for a moment before answering coolly, "Go ahead. Out of respect for you, I'll give you twenty minutes."

"Thank you, Mr. Martez."

Isabella inhaled deeply. Twenty minutes? Fine. Watch me impress you.

She turned on the projector and began her presentation. Her voice trembled at first, but soon steadied. She explained each of the seven design concepts confidently.

When she finished, the room fell silent.

Then Mr. Luiz clapped softly. "Excellent work, Isabella."

Others nodded in agreement-except Maximilian, who leaned back in his chair, unreadable.

"Impressive," he murmured. "Smart ideas... but still, poor discipline."

Isabella forced a polite smile. Perfect man, irritating personality.

That evening, after hours of overtime, she stretched her arms and sighed. "Finally done..."

She packed her things quickly, hoping to catch the last bus home.

Her phone buzzed.

Samantha:

Hey, I stopped by your place to return your book, but you're not home yet?

Isabella:

You could've told me! I'm on my way now.

Samantha:

Had to run before Mom tries to set me up again. Your book's on your desk. Let's hang out this weekend!

Isabella smiled faintly. Her mother had been hinting about marriage a lot lately. The problem was-she didn't even have a boyfriend.

After her father's death four years ago, she had been the one supporting her ailing mother.

Ten minutes later, she arrived home.

"I'm home..."

The gate wasn't locked. Strange.

When she entered, she found her mother sitting with a guest-Mrs. Martez.

"Oh, you're home," her mother greeted warmly.

"Yes, Mom." Isabella put her bag down and smiled. "Aunt Martez, it's been a while. How have you been?"

The older woman chuckled softly. "I'm well, dear. I've just been busy. My younger son recently came back from overseas. He'll be settling here for good."

"Oh, Miguel's back?" Isabella smiled. "That's wonderful. You won't be lonely anymore."

They laughed together for a while-until Mrs. Martez's expression softened.

"Isabella," she began gently. "I didn't just come to catch up. There's something important I want to talk about."

Isabella turned to her, curious. The woman hesitated, glancing at her mother, then back at her.

"My dear, your mother and I have talked about this for quite some time. We... we'd like to see you married-to Miguel."

The word married echoed in Isabella's mind.

Her heart skipped a beat. She looked at the two women she loved most, hoping one of them would laugh and tell her it was a joke. But no-there were only expectant eyes and gentle smiles.

"Married?" she whispered.

Both women nodded in unison.

"But, Aunt... surely Miguel already has someone in his life?" she asked carefully.

Mrs. Martez shook her head with a fond smile. "Not yet. Miguel and his brother are both buried in work. I just want to see one of them settle down and find happiness. You and Miguel used to be close-it won't be hard for you two to reconnect."

Used to be... ten years ago.

Isabella almost laughed, if only it didn't hurt so much.

"Aunt-" she began, but before she could continue, Mrs. Martez clasped her mother's hands in excitement.

"Oh, Adeline, we'll soon be in-laws!" she exclaimed with delight.

The two women began chattering joyfully, already imagining a future that Isabella had never agreed to. Neither of them seemed to notice her uneasy silence.

Finally, she spoke up, her voice calm but firm. "Aunt-Mom, please stop and listen to me."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
4.5

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

Betrayed Bride: Claimed By The Brother

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
