Zane, the charismatic leader of a famous boy band, and Carter, a ruthless CEO, were once high school sweethearts. They dreamed of a future together until something happened between them. Their love turned into deep resentment, and over the years, they became bitter enemies, ready to destroy each other at any moment. However, fate forces them back together when circumstances demand they enter a marriage neither of them wants. Trapped in a relationship built on hatred, old wounds resurface, and tensions explode. But as they navigate this unwanted union, will their past love rekindle, or will their animosity tear them apart forever? And what will happen when an anonymous identity tries to take control of Zane's life?

Falling back into you Chapter 1 Meeting

"Zane, I swear if you don't show up in 30 minutes, I will forget that I have two sons and disown you!" A poised woman in her early fifties shouted into the phone as she descended the grand staircase of a luxurious mansion.

"Mom, I'll be there, I promise. I'm just running a little late. I know it's a big day for Ethan, and I wouldn't miss it for the world. Please, just try to understand."

Zane Knight, the charismatic leader of the world-famous boy band DTM (Drop the Mic), was constantly tied up with his packed schedule. No matter how guilty he felt about it, finding time for his family was always a challenge.

"What's up, bro?" Matt, his bandmate, plopped down beside him on the couch. "Same old story?"

Zane chuckled, eyes fixed on his phone. "New day, same drama. Nothing ever changes. By the way, where's the boss? I need to talk to him about the photoshoot."

"He's with the PR team, discussing Harry's dating rumors," Logan, another bandmate, entered the room with a cup of coffee in hand. "They're releasing a statement tomorrow, so Harry's sitting in on it too."

"Alright then, I'll talk to the boss tomorrow. I need to get ready now, or my dear mother will actually disown me." Zane stood up, stretching his arms.

"Congratulate Ethan on our behalf," Matt said. "And tell him to be ready for the party."

At Vance's Estate

Zane arrived at Vance's estate, a vast and imposing property that exuded the kind of cold wealth only someone like Carter Vance could command. His chest tightened as he stepped out of the car, his stomach churning with the familiar mix of anger and regret. He'd never wanted to see Carter again-never wanted to face the man who had once been his everything. The man who had shattered his heart.

Even after all these years, the animosity between them hadn't diminished. If anything, it had grown more intense with every passing day. Zane had tried to move on, tried to forget, but Carter... Carter had left scars that would never fully heal.

He shook his head, trying to clear his thoughts before ringing the doorbell. Within seconds, the grand door opened, and Noah, Carter's younger brother, stood there with a warm smile that Zane couldn't help but return, if only a little reluctantly.

"Zane!" Noah greeted, his arms open as he pulled him into a quick hug. "We've been waiting for you. Come in."

Zane nodded and followed Noah into the house, trying not to let the cold, sterile atmosphere affect him. This place was as soulless as Carter. No matter how many years had passed, the Vance estate would always feel like the fortress of the man who had broken him.

As they walked deeper into the house, Zane's heart began to beat faster. The moment he'd been dreading was fast approaching. The moment he'd have to face Carter.

And there he was.

"Mr. Knight," a deep voice-gravelly and unmistakable-spoke from behind him. The words sent a jolt through Zane's body, making his chest tighten. He turned around, meeting Carter's cold, piercing gaze.

Carter stood there, tall, confident, and imposing in his sharp suit, his posture as rigid as Zane remembered. The boy he once loved was gone, replaced by the ruthless CEO, the man who had no interest in love-or in him.

Zane's stomach flipped, but he masked it with a forced smile. "Mr. Vance," he said flatly, his tone polite but edged with years of resentment. His hands twitched with the familiar desire to reach out and hurt him-to make him feel just a fraction of the pain Zane had endured.

Carter's gaze lingered on Zane for a moment longer than necessary, his eyes cold and unyielding. Zane's heart skipped a beat, but he refused to let Carter see the effect he still had on him. He had learned long ago to hide his emotions-especially around Carter. His lips pressed into a thin line, his expression unreadable. "Let's just get this over with," Carter said dismissively, turning away and walking toward the lounge.

Zane followed behind, his steps heavy with the weight of years of history between them. The lounge was as grand and cold as ever, with both families already seated. Ethan and Noah were sitting together, their faces bright with excitement, while the others sat in formal silence.

Their parents greeted him with practiced smiles, and after a few small pleasantries and some snacks, the conversation finally turned to the main topic. Zane's father cleared his throat, breaking the silence. "It's good that Ethan and Noah have decided to get married. It's nice to see them taking the next step."

Zane's mother nodded in agreement, though there was a trace of something in her eyes-something that hinted at an underlying agenda. "Yes, very nice," she said. "Not like Zane who just know how to give excuses."

Zane's heart sank, knowing what was coming. His mother wasn't one to leave things unsaid for long. "You've been avoiding this for far too long, Zane," she continued, her voice soft but firm. "You need to start thinking about your future. See, Ethan is younger than you but still getting marry first. It's time for you to settle down."

Zane stayed silent, his gaze fixed on his hands, his expression a perfect mask of indifference. He had heard this lecture so many times before that it barely phased him anymore. But no matter how much his mother pushed, he wasn't going to give in-not now, not ever.

Before he could respond, Carter's mother, who had been sitting quietly, glanced toward him with pleading eyes. "Carter," she said gently, her voice almost breaking. "You've been working so hard for so long. Don't you think it's time you thought about your future? Settling down, finding someone to be with, carrying on the family name?"

Zane felt a knot tighten in his stomach, his gaze flickering to Carter. He knew exactly how Carter would respond. He knew how much Carter hated being pushed into anything. He chuckled- he hates him that much that he knew everything about him. Carter's shoulders stiffened, and Zane saw the look of frustration that quickly crossed his face.

"No," Carter said sharply, his voice cold as ice. "I'm not going to sit here and listen to this. Not now, not in front of everyone." His voice rose, and the tension in the room thickened. "It's humiliating. I'm a grown man. I can make my own decisions."

Zane's heart skipped a beat at the outburst, the rawness in Carter's voice sending a chill through him. Carter was and would always be fearless. But Carter's mother didn't back down. She looked at him, her eyes filled with tears, her voice trembling. "Carter, please," she whispered. "I've done everything for you, for this family. I just want to see you happy. Don't you think you deserve to have a family of your own, to have love in your life? Please, I need you to understand. It's not just about us-it's about your future, about who you are."

The words hit Carter like a physical blow. His face flushed with anger, his fists clenching by his sides. The room went silent as everyone waited for his response. Carter's chest heaved as he took a deep breath, his voice low but fierce. "I don't need anyone's pity," he spat, turning to his mother with a cold glare. "Don't do this to me. Don't humiliate me in front of people."

Zane watched in disbelief as Carter's mother started to cry, her sobs wracking her body. Carter's eyes flickered with guilt, but he didn't move, didn't say anything to comfort her.

Noah, who had been quietly watching the exchange, suddenly stood up. His face was a storm of anger, his fists clenched at his sides. "Enough, Carter!" he shouted, his voice cutting through the tension. "You've done this for years. Always pushing everyone away, always making excuses. Why are you doing this?"

Carter's eyes hardened as he glared at Noah. "This is none of your business," he growled.

Noah's expression darkened. "It is my business, Carter. You are my elder brother. And if you don't change your this attitude then, Ethan and I-" He paused, taking a breath before continuing, "I will not marry him if you don't marry first. Simple as that."

The room fell silent again. Everyone was staring at Noah in shock, including Ethan, who looked both surprised and relieved.

"What?" Carter's voice was barely above a whisper. He couldn't believe what he was hearing.

Noah stood tall, his eyes flashing with determination. "You heard me. If you don't take that first step, then I won't. If you don't get married, then I won't marry Ethan." Ethan opened his mouth to say something, but Noah shot him a look that silenced him immediately. Noah turned back to Carter, his eyes hard with resolve. "You've been the one holding everything back, Carter. You've been the one who's too proud to admit what's really going on. But I won't wait forever. If you're not ready, then neither am I. And if you can't take that step, then I'm done."

Carter stood there, stunned, as the weight of Noah's words sank in. His heart pounded in his chest, the room spinning as he tried to process what had just happened. "You're serious?" Carter asked, his voice raw with frustration.

Noah nodded, his jaw clenched tightly. "Yes. I'm serious. If you want me to marry Ethan, then you have to marry first. No more excuses."

Zane could see the conflict in Carter's eyes, the battle raging inside him. But Carter didn't respond. Zane stayed silent, unsure of what to say. The room felt heavy, charged with so much unresolved emotion. But Zane saw something- no actually someone with the intention which made him uncomfortable. He wasn't ready for that.

"Please don't do this. You will regret it." He cried loudly as I threw him on the bed and hovered above him. He was struggling to free himself from my cage but couldn't as his legs and hands were tied to the ropes. "This beauty is under me; I would love to ruin it." I caressed his cheek with my knuckles and then travelled my fingers to his neck and then to his collarbone. I held his shirt and pulled it with such force that it got torn, and his naked chest was visible to me. I smirked at my sight and attacked his collarbone. "Ahhhh..." He screamed and then cried, "Please leave me." I was biting and licking his collarbone, and he was crying continuously and trying to stop me by moving himself. "Slap". I got irritated, and slapped him, and said angrily, "If you spoil my mood, then someone else will suffer the punishment for your mistake." Hearing me, his eyes widened. He turned his head to one side and pursed his lips to stop his crying sound. I chuckled at my win and then leaned against his chest. ************************************** Alex Kelly (AK) is the smoking hot CEO of a very big company who is ruthless and heartless.

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.

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.

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

The Discarded Heiress: Marrying My Lethal Husband

Xiao Wang

The rain in Detroit was slick with grime when my family finally came to fetch me. They didn't want a reunion; they wanted a sacrificial lamb to marry into the Kaufman empire to save their failing business. I thought I was just being sold off, but the limo ride ended under a dark overpass where six hired thugs were waiting with chains. My own sister had ordered them to "break my spirit" so I’d be a shaking, pathetic mess by the time I reached the altar. They called me "Detroit trash" and sprayed air freshener when I sat on their leather seats. My stepmother wanted a video of me begging for my life, and my father was ready to trade me like a used car to a man everyone called a "vegetable." They expected a submissive country girl, unaware that I was a high-level "cleaner" who could snap a radius bone before they could even scream. When I finally reached the Kaufman estate, I found my fiancé, Barron, slumped in a wheelchair, drooling and silent. But as soon as the doors closed, the "invalid" grabbed my wrist with a grip of iron and whispered a command that changed everything. I didn't understand why my own blood was so desperate to see me destroyed. What had I ever done to deserve a hit squad and a forced marriage to a man they thought was a corpse? But Barron isn't a vegetable, and I'm not a victim. We just touched down at the Moon family gala in a matte-black helicopter, and as the doors slide open, the "broken" bride is about to show them exactly what happens when you throw away the wrong daughter. "If we're going to crash a party," Barron whispered, his eyes burning with lethal clarity, "we should make an entrance."
