I was three days away from marrying the Underboss of the Fazio crime family when I unlocked his burner phone. The screen glowed toxic bright in the dark next to my sleeping fiancé. A message from a contact saved as 'Little Trouble' read: "She is just a statue, Dante. Come back to bed." Attached was a photo of a woman lying in the sheets of his private office, wearing his shirt. My heart didn't break; it simply stopped. For eight years, I believed Dante was the hero who pulled me from a burning opera house. I played the perfect, loyal Mafia Princess for him. But heroes don't give their mistresses rare pink diamonds while giving their fiancées cubic zirconia replicas. He didn't just cheat. He humiliated me. He defended his mistress over his own soldiers in public. He even abandoned me on the side of the road on my birthday because she faked a pregnancy emergency. He thought I was weak. He thought I would accept the fake ring and the disrespect because I was just a political pawn. He was wrong. I didn't cry. Tears are for women who have options. I had a strategy. I walked into the bathroom and dialed a number I hadn't dared to call in a decade. "Speak," a voice like gravel growled on the other end. Lorenzo Moretti. The Capo of the rival family. The man my father called the Devil. "The wedding is off," I whispered, staring at my reflection. "I want an alliance with you, Enzo. And I want the Fazio family burned to the ground."

I was three days away from marrying the Underboss of the Fazio crime family when I unlocked his burner phone.

The screen glowed toxic bright in the dark next to my sleeping fiancé.

A message from a contact saved as 'Little Trouble' read: "She is just a statue, Dante. Come back to bed."

Attached was a photo of a woman lying in the sheets of his private office, wearing his shirt.

My heart didn't break; it simply stopped.

For eight years, I believed Dante was the hero who pulled me from a burning opera house. I played the perfect, loyal Mafia Princess for him.

But heroes don't give their mistresses rare pink diamonds while giving their fiancées cubic zirconia replicas.

He didn't just cheat. He humiliated me.

He defended his mistress over his own soldiers in public. He even abandoned me on the side of the road on my birthday because she faked a pregnancy emergency.

He thought I was weak. He thought I would accept the fake ring and the disrespect because I was just a political pawn.

He was wrong.

I didn't cry. Tears are for women who have options. I had a strategy.

I walked into the bathroom and dialed a number I hadn't dared to call in a decade.

"Speak," a voice like gravel growled on the other end.

Lorenzo Moretti. The Capo of the rival family. The man my father called the Devil.

"The wedding is off," I whispered, staring at my reflection.

"I want an alliance with you, Enzo. And I want the Fazio family burned to the ground."

Chapter 1

I was three days away from marrying the Underboss of the Fazio crime family when I unlocked his burner phone and read the message that shattered eight years of loyalty.

The screen glowed toxic bright in the darkness of our shared penthouse bedroom.

Dante was asleep beside me. His chest rose and fell in a rhythm that used to comfort me. Now, it just looked like the breathing of a liar.

I looked down at the device in my hand.

The contact was saved as 'Little Trouble.'

The latest message read: I miss your hands on me. She is just a statue, Dante. You said it yourself. Come back to bed.

Attached was a photo.

It was a selfie of a woman lying in sheets I recognized. They were the Egyptian cotton sheets from Dante's private office suite downtown. She was wearing his shirt.

My heart did not break. It simply stopped.

For eight years, I had played the part of the perfect Mafia Princess. I was Elena Vitiello. I was raised to be seen and not heard, to be the glue in a political alliance that would keep the peace in New York.

I had convinced myself I loved Dante Fazio. I thought he was the hero who pulled me from the burning rubble of the Opera House when I was fourteen.

I looked at his sleeping face. He was handsome in a way that made women stupid. He had the jawline of a movie star and the soul of a coward.

I slid out of bed. The silk of my nightgown felt like ice against my skin.

I walked into the bathroom and locked the door. I did not cry. Tears were for women who had options. I? I had a strategy.

I sat on the edge of the marble tub and pulled my own encrypted phone from a hidden pocket in my robe.

My hands shook, but not from fear. They shook from the adrenaline of lighting a match in a room full of gasoline.

I dialed a number I had memorized a decade ago but never dared to call.

It rang once.

"Speak."

The sound of his voice was like gravel grinding against bone. It was deep, dark, and terrifying.

Lorenzo Moretti. Enzo. The Capo dei Capi of the rival family. The man my father called the Devil.

"The wedding is off," I whispered.

There was a pause on the other end. I could hear the faint sound of a lighter flicking open, then the sharp inhale of smoke.

"Elena," he said. My name sounded like a prayer and a curse coming from his mouth. "Are you sure?"

"Dante broke the code," I said. My voice was steady now. "He has a comare. He has been disrespectful."

In our world, infidelity was common. But disrespect was a death sentence. Dante hadn't just cheated. He had mocked me to a mistress. He had exposed our future marriage to the ridicule of a stripper.

"I want out," I said. "I want an alliance with you."

Enzo laughed. It was a low, dark sound that vibrated through the phone line. "You know the price, Elena. If you come to me, there is no going back. I will burn the Fazio family to the ground for you. But once you step through my gates, you belong to me."

I looked at my reflection in the mirror. I looked pale. Fragile. But my eyes were hard.

"I know," I said. "I am ready."

"Good," Enzo said. "I am in Italy. I will be in New York in three days. Do not let him touch you."

"He won't," I promised.

"Elena?"

"Yes?"

"If he touches you, I will cut off his hands."

The line went dead.

I stared at the phone. For the first time in eight years, I didn't feel like a statue. I felt like the match.

I walked back into the bedroom. Dante shifted in his sleep, murmuring something incoherent.

I placed his burner phone back on the nightstand, exactly where I found it.

I lay down beside him. I stared at the ceiling.

Tomorrow, we were supposed to go pick up the custom engagement ring. It was supposed to be a symbol of our power.

Now, I knew it was just a piece of glass on a sinking ship.

Her Miscarriages, Their Dark Secret

Romance

5.0

For three years, I endured four miscarriages, each a crushing reminder of my failure, while my husband, Axel, played the part of the grieving spouse, whispering comforting words and promising a different outcome next time. This time, it was different. Axel's concern morphed into control, isolating me in our gilded cage, claiming it was for my safety and the baby's, due to the stress of being married to the protégé of Senator Dennis Clarke-my biological father. My trust shattered when I overheard Axel and my adopted sister, Adeline, in the garden. She was holding a baby, and Axel's soft smile, a smile I hadn't seen in months, was directed at them. Adeline's feigned sadness about my "miscarriages" revealed a horrifying truth: my losses were part of their plan to secure Axel's political future and ensure their son, not mine, inherited the Clarke dynasty. The betrayal deepened when my parents, Senator Clarke and Barbara, joined them, embracing Adeline and the baby, confirming their complicity. My entire life, my marriage, my grief-it was all a monstrous, carefully constructed lie. Every comforting touch from Axel, every worried look, was a performance. I was just a vessel, a placeholder. Adeline, the cuckoo in my nest, had stolen everything: my parents, my husband, my future, and now, my children. The realization hit me like a physical blow: my four lost babies weren't accidents; they were sacrifices on the altar of Axel and Adeline's ambition. My mind reeled. How could they? How could my own family, the people who were supposed to protect me, conspire against me so cruelly? The injustice burned, leaving a hollow, aching void. There were no more tears to cry. Only action. I called the hospital and scheduled an abortion. Then, I called my old dance academy, applying for the international choreography program in Paris. I was leaving.

Werewolf

After five years of being sneered at as the "defective" Omega, I finally held the plastic stick with two pink lines. I thought this pup would finally make my mate, Alpha David, love me. But when I rushed to his office to surprise him, I heard him laughing with his Beta. "Sarah is just a pet," David's voice rumbled. "I'm micro-dosing her with Wolfsbane to ensure she stays barren. Rebecca is the only Luna I need." My world shattered. I tried to run to protect my baby, but they hunted me down. Rebecca, his cruel mistress, framed me for attacking her, and David looked at me with pure disgust. He dragged me to an underground fight ring. Rebecca whispered in his ear, claiming my unborn child was a rogue's bastard. David didn't even hesitate. Blinded by arrogance, he kicked me brutally in the stomach, determined to kill the "abomination." "David, please! It's your son!" I screamed, blood soaking my thighs. He didn't listen. He crushed our child—his own heir—under his boot. Only after I severed our mate bond and vanished did the DNA test reveal the truth: The baby wasn't a rogue. He was a rare Alpha Prime. David went mad with grief, but I was already gone. Three years later, the doors to the Grand Summit opened. I walked in, not as the weak Omega he discarded, but as the legendary White Wolf Queen. David fell to his knees, weeping and begging for a second chance. I looked down at the broken man. "You killed your son," I whispered, my aura crushing him into the floor. "Now, live with the ghost."

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

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.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

Roderic Penn

I stood at my mother’s open grave in the freezing rain, my heels sinking into the mud. The space beside me was empty. My husband, Hilliard Holloway, had promised to cherish me in bad times, but apparently, burying my mother didn't fit into his busy schedule. While the priest’s voice droned on, a news alert lit up my phone. It was a livestream of the Metropolitan Charity Gala. There was Hilliard, looking impeccable in a custom tuxedo, with his ex-girlfriend Charla English draped over his arm. The headline read: "Holloway & English: A Power Couple Reunited?" When he finally returned to our penthouse at 2 AM, he didn't come alone—he brought Charla with him. He claimed she’d had a "medical emergency" at the gala and couldn't be left alone. I found a Tiffany diamond necklace on our coffee table meant for her birthday, and a smudge of her signature red lipstick on his collar. When I confronted him, he simply told me to stop being "hysterical" and "acting like a child." He had no idea I was seven months pregnant with his child. He thought so little of my grief that he didn't even bother to craft a convincing lie, laughing with his mistress in our home while I sat in the dark with a shattered heart and a secret life growing inside me. "He doesn't deserve us," I whispered to the darkness. I didn't scream or beg. I simply left a folder on his desk containing signed divorce papers and a forged medical report for a terminated pregnancy. I disappeared into the night, letting him believe he had successfully killed his own legacy through his neglect. Five years later, Hilliard walked into "The Vault," the city's most exclusive underground auction, looking for a broker to manage his estate. He didn't recognize me behind my Venetian mask, but he couldn't ignore the neon pink graffiti on his armored Maybach that read "DEADBEAT." He had no clue that the three brilliant triplets currently hacking his security system were the very children he thought had been erased years ago. This time, I wasn't just a wife in the way; I was the one holding all the cards.
