Shattered Attraction Chapter 1 Gabriella

"Arghhhhh!!" I ducked under the dinner table, my breaths shaky as the door to the family room was shot down and three men walked in spraying bullets in the air.

"Where is my money Antonio" one of them yelled, his eyes sweeping the room, hungry for blood.

"My chest tightened. "Will this be my last day on earth?" I covered my mouth with my hands, preventing the sobs from escaping.

"I- I don't have your money yet" father stuttered from his hiding place beneath the table.

The man who had spoken stepped closer, his voice like ice. "You said you had something for me." chills chased themselves down my spine as I heard my father sobbing.

"I'm sorry!" father cried as the man pulled him out from beneath the table by the scruff of his neck.

"You know how much I hate games Antonio" he said as he pointed his gun at father's head with a steady hand.

"Wait! Wait! Please!" father cried. I saw the fear in his eyes from my hiding place but nothing prepared me for his next words. "I-I don't have your money but I'll let you take my daughter as collateral, just give me a little more time"

I gasped in disbelief, my mind reeling. No. No, this can't be happening. But the sharp pain of my hair being yanked from my scalp told me it was all too real.

"You think your daughter is worth fifty grand?" the man asked, cocking his head.

"I swear to you she's handy at a lot of things, she will do whatever you need" he said shaking.

Tears blurred my vision as I stared at the man who had raised me. All my life, he has been a deadbeat but I never imagined he will actually go this far.

"You will sell your only child to pay off your gambling debts?" the man asked coldly.

A silence fell over the room, but the answer was clear.

"No-No papa. Please don't do this" I cried as I dropped to my knees.

He could not look me in the eyes as he said "Gabriella, you have to understand, I don't have a choice-"

"No!" I screamed, "please you can't take me, this must be a crime" I said as tears flowed down my face.

"Papa! You do have a choice, we can work to pay it off, I will forfeit all my savings" I pleaded, desperate for a way out.

The man chuckled as he walked towards me. He grabbed my face, as if to inspect it.

"Hm, she's beautiful" he said turning my chin from side to side.

"Papa, I beg of you, don't do this" I begged.

"What's your name beautiful?" the man asked. I glared at him, raising my chin up.

"Oh that's how it's gonna be" he said chuckling. "I'm going to enjoy breaking you" His words were laced with a sick pleasure as the other men snickered in the background.

"Gabriella" father answered. "Her name is "Gabriella." I glared at him as he squeezed his eyes shut.

"You're about to become my new plaything, Gabriella" the man whispered in my ears as I trembled.

He watched me for some time, his blue eyes cold. "I'll take her."

I collapsed, sobbing loudly into my hands. "No please, please you can't do this" I said, my voice broken.

The man grabbed my arm roughly, pulling me to my feet. I stumbled, my legs, too weak to hold my weight.

At that moment, one of the other men said. "Matteo, I don't think your brother will be happy if we take her." I felt hope rising in my chest as I looked between them as they whispered to each other. But my hope was dashed as the man said.

"Fuck my brother" he hissed. "Now shut the fuck up and do as you're told" he finished.

"You're mine now, to do with as I deem fit" he said turning towards me, smirking. "And babyyy, there are a lot of things I'll love do with you."

I whimpered, trying to pull my arm free of his hold but I was too weak to fight him. "Please" I whispered in desperation, trying to make him see reason. "I can't do this sir, please, I'll work to pay off his debts, I'll do anything, just don't take me" I continued.

He ignored me, turning towards where my father was kneeling. "I'll take her Antonio" he began. "But you won't see her again. Your debt is paid in full"

I howled like a banshee after hearing that I won't be returned, my body shaking as the man dragged me towards the door. "Papa please, you can't let them take me" I cried, my voice full of anguish.

Father closed his eyes like he could not also bear to look at me. "I'm sorry" he whispered.

The moment I was pulled past the doors, I bolted. Running as fast as I could towards the gate, I could hear the man chuckling behind me.

I was two steps away from the gate when someone grabbed me from behind.

"Noo!! Let me go!" I screamed, kicking as I was lifted off the ground. I pounded on his back as I was dumped unceremoniously in the back seat of an SUV.

"Don't worry my love, you'll enjoy your life with me" He said, running his fingers down my cheeks. I spat in his face, he chuckled as he wiped the spit from his eyes with his index finger and my disgust for him skyrocketed as he licked it.

"Oh i'm definitely going to have my fun with you." he said calmly. "Maybe I'll pass you around to a few of my men when I'm done with you" he added.

I glared at him but before I knew what was happening. I blacked out.

Inferno Heiress: Freed From Hell To Reclaim My Empire

Clara Voss

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

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

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.
