I don't watch movies that much,but when I do,it's romance. I enjoy watching couples and their sweet love life and I used to envision myself being in love. 'it would be simple.' I thought,since I already have the perfect best friend who cares about me so much,he is perfect...well, except that he is a playboy. 'But we would work it out eventually' I thought. But my life took a different turn, nothing like the movies..... "Leave now!" "No,I won't." He hurled another bottle on the wall and the shattered sound made my heart skip,both in fear and concern. His hand was bleeding. "You are hurting yourself." My words were mere dust. The nearest glass cup was next,he grabbed it and sent it on the floor. This time,some piece got to my leg and gashed it. Tears slipped from my eye. Just a few months ago,I was just a poor unlucky girl looking for a job. Now,my life had gone beyond that,and it's not a good way ......

Chapter 1 Two worlds

1

"You are fired!"

"But......"She slammed the door in my face and I watched her go back to the counter without looking back.

Shit! I withdrew back.

Well at least she didn't break the glass door. I thought of going back to plead with her, but experience is the best teacher. When you have gone through the same process fifteen times and at fifteen different places,you'd learn to resign to your fate.

Walking over to where my ride was parked,I got on and pedaled towards home.

"Parky!" I heard a voice that I knew too well scream from a building.

I honestly hate New York city.

I held my break and looked up, as usual,she had a tiny apron strapped to her waist. "It's park shin! Park shin! How many times? Park! Shiiin!!"

She laughed.

Her family moved in last week to our street,and ever since she heard my brother yell my name one morning,she didn't fail to call me 'parky' everytime she sees me. I didn't even know her name yet.

"It's a nickname!" She screamed back. I wasn't seeing her clearly ,she was on the last floor of the building.

My mind moved from the name issue to deeper thoughts.

Why was she always free even though she was clearly at work?

How did she even get a job that easily? They just moved in.

How does she even see me everytime?

Maybe she wanted to be friends with me.

Before I could look up,she wasn't in sight anymore.

I shrugged and placed my legs on the pedal once again.

"Parky!!!" I heard again,she ran towards me.

And I thought I was the craziest one on earth...

"Where are you goi....." She stopped mid sentence, her face lit up as she looked across the road. My eyes followed her gaze.

Wow!

A very handsome guy was on display,he wore a white shirt and everything about him looked golden.

"He doesn't look real." My eyes didn't leave the billboard. My brain was too lazy to comprehend the big words that the advertisement held,but I focused on the guy. He looked angry but also composed,his expression was just difficult to read but I had never seen anyone as good looking. It was like he wasn't even trying at all but still looked stunning.

The weird girl laughed again. "That is my crush. Even though I'm dreaming and would never meet him."

"True,you are dreaming." I said and she bopped my shoulder. "What?" I found myself laughing. "Don't let your dreams be stupid like me.. we would never meet someone like that." I turned to point at the billboard but the advertisement was gone.

***WRITER***

Everywhere was dead silent,it was like everyone stifled even their breath.

"Who is in charge of PR?" His eyes didn't leave the file that he held,he spoke like every word cost a penny.

"I'm...I'm the one." A woman indicated. She was in her late thirties but could pass for a twenty year old.

Daniel's eyes were still on the file, leaving them hung in anticipation and curiosity. The manager and the woman were the most apprehensive. It would only take one negative sentence from him and their career would shake.

"The PR could use a bit more effort." He finally dropped the file and turned to the manager. "The accountant should be replaced tomorrow."

Everyone stifled their gasp as they turned to face the account whose face had gone pale instantly.

"Sir......" one look from Daniel shut him up.

Daniel stood up and walked out with a train of guards behind him.

The accountant's Shoulder sagged as he stood with others. The meeting was over and so was his job.

Nothing could be done again. Daniel Alcatel doesn't speak twice nor does he revoke his words.

***

After three more meetings in different companies,Daniel got home tired and angry.

Maids, guards and different workers bowed as he walked inside the large mansion,the stairs and then to his room. As soon as his room door was clicked shut,he eased off his tie and sent it flying.

The urge to break something was rising.

Why does he have to do this?

Why the heck does he have to be at those meetings talking to people physically?

Anger filled his throat,it was very hard to swallow. A small frame sitting on his table met with his eyes and he went numb instantly. Walking over,he lifted it and stared on. His cheat ached by mere looking and memories flooded.

If only.....

Sound of wailing siren interrupted his thoughts.

What! That could only mean one thing.

He dropped the frame gently and went to the window to look.

Shit! The anger found its way back slowly as he watched his mother get out of the car being opened by a driver.

What the hell was she doing in New York? She came back a month ago.

Tightening his teeth,he walked into his bathroom. About twenty minutes later,he got out of the shower;a towel wrapped around his waist,and just like he expected,his mother was seated on his cushion.

"Why are you here?" He just couldn't stand her.

"Apart from business classes,we also tried manners." Her face was stiff like his,impatience and strictness written all over.

Daniel just gave her a look and went for his lotion.

"I have so many things to attend to so I'd go straight to the point. You are getting married,and soon."

Daniel turned to her in shock.

She straightened her designer suit and continued. "The future of our organization is in your hands,so we have to be fast with everything. You will meet your fiance very soon." She stood up and went for the door. "Be nice to her,I didn't fly down here for nothing." She grabbed the knob and the door clamped shut behind her.

Daniel stood still for a while, trying to digest the information. He heard the siren wailing once again and then the gate being opened.

He paced back and forth, hoping to pacify the anger but each step intensified it.

A wife??

The nearest wine bottle was unlucky,he grabbed it and hurled at the wall in rage.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

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.

"Anya, a 'wolfless' in a world of powerful werewolves, was invisible, drowning her sorrows and desperately lonely. One drunken text, a desperate cry for attention, accidentally reached the Alpha, pulling her into his terrifying orbit. Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment. As a 'wolfless' in the Blackwood Pack, Anya felt like an outsider, always yearning for a connection. One night, in a drunken haze, a misdirected text meant for her best friend landed in Alpha Declan Blackwood's inbox: ""Send me something hot."" Minutes later, the most powerful, terrifying man in the Pack stood at her door, claiming her with a possessive kiss that ignited a dangerous, unwanted fire. The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah. Her dying mother's urgent need for a million-dollar heart transplant left her with an impossible choice: accept the Alpha's cold, transactional marriage proposal or watch her mother die. She became his ""placeholder"" wife, a contract, not a partner, all while battling a confusing attraction to the man who treated her as property. Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."

For seventeen years, I was the crown jewel of the Kensington empire, the perfect daughter groomed for a royal future. Then, a cream-colored envelope landed in my lap, bearing a gold crest and a truth that turned my world into ice. The DNA test result was a cold, hard zero percent-I wasn't a Kensington. Before the ink could even dry, my parents invited my replacement, a girl named Alleen, into the drawing room and treated me like a trespasser in my own home. My mother, who once hosted galas in my honor, wouldn't even look me in the eye as she stroked Alleen's arm, whispering that she was finally "safe." My father handed me a one-million-dollar check-a mere tip for a billionaire-and told me to leave immediately to avoid tanking the company's stock price. "You're a thief! You lived my life, you spent my money, and you don't get to keep the loot!" Alleen shrieked, trying to claw the designer jacket off my shoulders while my "parents" watched with clinical detachment. I was dumped on a gritty sidewalk in Queens with nothing but three trunks and the address of a struggling laborer I was now supposed to call "Dad." I traded a marble mansion for a crumbling walk-up where the air smelled of exhaust and my new bedroom was a literal storage closet. My biological family thought I was a broken princess, and the Kensingtons thought they had successfully erased me with a payoff and a non-disclosure agreement. They had no idea that while I was hauling trunks up four flights of stairs, my secret media empire was already preparing to move against them. As I sat on a thin mattress in the dark, I opened my encrypted laptop and sent a single command that would cost my former father ten million dollars by breakfast. They thought they were throwing me to the wolves, but they forgot one thing: I'm the one who leads the pack.
