Eve, a rich heiress, is obsessed with revenge against her cruel step-sibling, but nothing she does seems to hurt them. Desperate, she makes a risky deal with a demon to get his help. In exchange, he gives up part of his immortality, leaving him weaker and vulnerable. To regain his power, the demon must make Eve fall in love with him-something completely against his nature. But as they work together, their connection grows. Eve begins to soften, drawn to the demon's unexpected kindness, while he discovers feelings he thought he'd lost. Their bond becomes undeniable as the demon admits he cares for Eve, seeing not just her anger but her strength and heart. Now, Eve is torn between her thirst for vengeance and her growing feelings for him. With danger closing in, they must face a difficult question: will their love break them, or will it save them both?

Chapter 1 Death at midnight

The luxury yacht floated peacefully on the dark ocean, its lights glowing like a palace in the night. Gentle waves lapped against its sides, hiding the chaos building on the deck.

Eve gripped the cold railing, staring at the moonlit horizon. Tonight was supposed to be a celebration, but her grandmother's shocking decision to leave the family empire in Eve's hands had changed everything.

Behind her, the sharp click of heels broke her thoughts. Eve didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Enjoying the view?" Alina's mocking voice cut through the air, sweet but poisonous.

Eve sighed, tightening her grip. "If you're here to argue about Grandma's choice, don't bother. I didn't ask for this."

Alina stepped closer, her silver dress shining under the moonlight. She leaned against the railing, her beauty sharp, but her eyes full of malice.

"Didn't ask for it?" Alina repeated, pretending to be shocked. "You never have to ask, do you, Eve? Everything always falls into your lap-my father, the family's love, and now the empire. It's always about you."

Eve turned to face her, her eyes sharp. "This isn't a game, Alina. Grandma's decision wasn't mine."

Alina's smile twisted cruelly. "No, it wasn't. But tonight, I'll make my own decision."

A glint of silver caught Eve's eye. Her stomach dropped as she saw the knife in Alina's hand, its blade gleaming in the moonlight.

"Alina," Eve said calmly, though fear crept into her voice. "Put it down. You're taking this too far."

Alina laughed coldly, the sound sending chills through Eve. "Too far? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment? This isn't about money. It's about justice."

"Justice?" Eve whispered, stepping back. "You're my sister-"

"Don't call me that!" Alina shouted, her voice full of rage. "Your mother stole my father, tore my family apart, and now you've stolen my future. Do you know what that feels like?"

Eve's heart raced as she tried to reason with her. "I didn't take anything from you. Your anger is with the wrong person."

Alina's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "You really don't know, do you? Your perfect mother didn't die in an accident. My mother made sure of it."

The words hit Eve like a slap. "What are you saying?"

Alina leaned closer, her voice a venomous whisper. "The phone call that pulled her away? My mother's plan. The crash? No accident. Your precious mom was a problem we solved."

Eve stared in horror, her mind racing with memories of that day-her mother's rushed goodbye, the screeching tires, the devastating news.

"You're lying," she said, though her voice shook.

"Am I?" Alina mocked. "Think about it. How quickly we moved in. How easily my mother took her place. Nothing about it was chance."

Anger boiled inside Eve. "You and your mother are monsters."

Alina laughed bitterly. "We did what we had to. And tonight, I'll finish the job."

Before Eve could react, Alina lunged. The knife plunged into Eve's stomach, and a gasp of pain escaped her lips. The world blurred, her body wracked with agony.

"You..." Eve choked, her hands trembling as she clutched the knife. "You stabbed me."

Alina sneered, shoving her back. "Of course, I did. You've always been so naive. Did you think I'd let you leave here alive?"

Eve fell against the railing, blood seeping between her fingers. With trembling hands, she gripped the knife's handle and, with a desperate cry, pulled it out. Pain surged through her as she flung the blade away, watching it clatter to the floor.

Alina smirked, stepping closer. "How dramatic. But bravery won't save you."

Eve struggled to stay upright, but Alina grabbed her dress, forcing her back against the railing. The cold metal dug into her back as Alina leaned in, her voice a cruel whisper.

"Any last words?"

Eve's voice was faint, but her eyes burned with defiance. "I'll...come back for you."

Alina's smile widened. "Rot in hell."

With a final shove, Alina pushed her over the edge.

Eve's scream vanished into the night as she hit the freezing water. The ocean swallowed her, its icy grip pulling her under until there was nothing but silence.

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.

The $300 Husband Is A Zillionaire

I woke up in a blindingly white hotel penthouse with a throbbing headache and the taste of betrayal in my mouth. The last thing I remembered was my stepsister, Cathie, handing me a flute of champagne at the charity gala with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. Now, a tall, dangerously handsome man walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. On the nightstand sat a stack of hundred-dollar bills. My stepmother had finally done it—she drugged me and staged a scandal with a hired escort to destroy my reputation and my future. "Aisha! Is it true you spent the night with a gigolo?" The shouts of a dozen reporters echoed through the heavy oak door as camera flashes exploded through the peephole. My phone lit up with messages showing my bank accounts were already frozen. My father was invoking the 'morality clause' in my mother’s trust fund, and my fiancé had already released a statement dumping me to marry my stepsister instead. I was trapped, penniless, and being hunted by the press for a scandal I hadn't even participated in. My own family had sold me out for a payday, and the man standing in front of me was the only witness who could prove I was innocent—or finish me off for good. I didn't have time to cry. According to the fine print of the trust, I had thirty days to prove my "rehabilitation" through a legal marriage or I would lose everything. I tracked the man down to a coffee shop the next morning, watching him take a thick envelope of cash from a wealthy older woman. I sat across from him and slid a napkin with a $50,000 figure written on it. "I need a husband. Legal, paper-signed, and convincing." He looked at the number, then at me, a slow, crooked smile spreading across his face. I thought I was hiring a desperate gigolo to save my inheritance. I had no idea I was actually proposing to Dominic Fields, the reclusive billionaire shark who was currently planning a hostile takeover of my father’s entire empire.
