Chapter 1 PROLOGUE

"Who ordered you?"

A question. Controlled. No nonsense. Just waiting for her prey to answer

No one else could hear their conversation, as they were in a basement, that connected to their HQ

The guy couldn't respond due to the fear coursing through him, knowing that his life could be snuffed out in a matter of seconds

She stood up. Choke him, nails digging into his neck. No words escape just testing her prey

"Who!"

She ask again but this time firm. No emotion. Cold. Commanding

"I-I don't know!"

She pulled out her gun, shot his leg, and threw him against the wall

"Y-you fucking bitch!,"he yelled in anger and pain, blood dripping from his mouth as he trembled

Her lips slightly twist but didn't smile. She just know, she's winning

She get something from her impeccably shiny and sharp black boots. A black dagger, with a letter D engraved on its handle and a crown etched upon it

"Let's do something entertaining"

Not a question but a statement. She lean in the chair, slow and direct. But her expression unreadable

Everyone felt the shift in the air. A quiet, involuntary adjustment of the spine. Her men blinked, gulped, but didn't move

All of them just watched. Waiting for her next move

"W-what-?,"his eyes widened as he stared

"Let's play a game"

A simple words. But yet it gives shivers

"Simple lang ang laro. Answer my question or lose your finger"

She shifted and twirl the dagger in her hands. They flinched. Her lips twitched....just barely

The guy was sweating nervously, still enduring the pain. He wiped the blood dripping off his lips with his hand

"P-please, don't do this to me...,"he pleaded

She didn't move. Her eyes fix to him, dangerous and unapologetic. Hindi nya pinansin ang pakiusap nito

"First question, sinong nag-utos sayo na harangin sila?"

He swallowed nervously. Bumibilis na ang pintig ng puso nito hindi dahil sa masaya kundi dahil sa takot

"My B-boss"

Mas lalo lang lumamig ang ekspresyon ng babae at binigyan nya ito ng are-you-kidding-me-look?. Pero kalmado lang sya at nagsalita ulit

"Who's your boss?"

Anxiety and fear filled in his eyes, unsure of whether he should answer or not. His mouth opened, but no words escaped

"Time is ticking....and my patience is wearing thin"

"P-please s-stop, I....I can't s-say"

Parang tumigil ang oras at sa pagkakataong ito. Her lips twitch

"Wrong answer"

She flip his hand at sinimulang putulin ang daliri nito. Blood splattered, and the guy screamed in agony

"Acck! S-stop p-please!,"he cried, desperately trying to break free. He was gasping for air, drenched in sweat from the pain he felt

The table was now covered in blood, but she didn't stop until she had cut it completely. Then, she wiped her hands and the dagger with a white handkerchief

"Again, who's your boss?"

"S-stop, I can't handle this a-anymore,"pleaded the guy, his consciousness slipping away for a few seconds. Nanginginig na din ito dahil sa sakit

But she didn't care, she just stared at him who was struggling to speak. Didn't feel any care even just a little

"Then fucking answer my goddamn question!,"her words dripping with coldness, startling him

"I-I don't know! He wears a m-mask, and he has a tattoo of a l-lion on his hand....,"the guy said, blood spewing from his mouth as he spoke

The womans eyes immediately darken a little, but mask it again. Instead, she simply glanced at him, who was fighting for his life, and without a word, she swiftly decapitated him with her dagger

His fresh blood splattered on the table, but she didn't care. Didn't flinch. Instead, she leaned back on her chair, and instructing the others to clean up the mess

"Lion tattoo...,"she whispered in the air that no one can hear

She was the person everyone feared. Cold. Measured. Don't give a nonsense fuck. Heartless. Don't give explanation. And she's a mystery....

THE SPITEFUL BRIDE: MARRY TO RIVAL'S SON

Ray Nhedicta
4.7

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone
5.0

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.
