As their worlds collide, what begins as inspiration soon turns into a whirlwind of emotions neither of them saw coming. Join Lily and Jake on a rollercoaster journey where fiction meets reality, and love writes its own story.

Chapter 1 A Chance Encounter

The rain pattered gently against the windows of the cozy little café on Maple Street, creating a rhythmic melody that felt soothing amidst the chatter of patrons. Lily sat in her usual corner; a steaming cup of chamomile tea cradled in her hands. She often found solace in the quaint atmosphere, especially during the gloomy winter months.As she gazed out the window, her thoughts drifted to the manuscript she was trying to finish.

The story of a love that transcended distance and time had been spinning in her mind for months, yet the words seemed to slip through her fingers like water.Just then, the door swung open, and a gust of wind followed, sending a shiver through the café. In walked a tall figure, shaking off the droplets of rain from his dark hair. He looked around, his striking blue eyes scanning the room before landing on Lily. There was something familiar about him, something that stirred a flutter within her chest."Is this seat taken?" he asked, gesturing to the empty chair across from her.Lily managed a smile, even though she was caught off guard. "No, it's all yours," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.In that brief moment, amidst the steam rising from their cups and the sound of the rain, Lily felt something spark between them-a glimmer of something beautiful, something that felt so true.He settled into the chair, his presence instantly changing the dynamic of her secluded corner. "I'm Jake, by the way," he said, offering a charming smile that made her heart skip a beat. "Just moved to town and looking for a good cup of coffee-or maybe something more adventurous."His easy demeanor put her slightly at ease, and despite her initial reluctance to engage, curiosity piqued. "I'm Lily. I come here a lot to write," she admitted, motioning to her notebook.Jake leaned in, intrigued. "A writer? What do you write about?"Lily hesitated, feeling a mix of vulnerability and excitement. "A love story... about two people who find each other against all odds.""Sounds captivating. You must have a lot of inspiration." His eyes sparkled with interest, and for a moment, the world outside faded away.As they shared stories about their lives, the hours slipped by unnoticed. Jake talked about his adventures traveling across the country, exploring remote towns and meeting fascinating people. Lily opened up about her dreams of publishing a novel and the creative struggles that often accompanied it.Each laugh they shared echoed like a melody, and the chemistry between them felt palpable. They discovered mutual interests-favorite books, shared passions for music, and even a love for the same obscure indie film. Each topic layered their conversation, making it rich and vibrant.In that brief moment, amidst the steam rising from their cups and the sound of rain cascading outside, Lily felt something spark between them-a glimmer of something beautiful, something that felt so true. It was as if their meeting was fated, a small intersection of their lives that held the potential for something profound.As the café began to empty and the rain softened to a drizzle, Lily realized that she didn't want this moment to end. Maybe today was the day her story would finally take a turn toward the unexpected.

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.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
