Ellie Vance, Chairwoman of Vance Legacy Holdings, brought her daughter, Chloe, to a school gala. Her husband, David Miller, an SVP at her family's company, had claimed urgent VLH business. But Ellie saw him on stage: beaming, accepting an award. Beside him, Sophia Hayes-his college girlfriend and VLH employee-and her young son. They looked like a family. The knot in Ellie's stomach turned to ice. When Ellie confronted him, David embraced Sophia and Ethan, declaring, "This is my answer." Later, Chloe cried, "That's my Daddy! She's the mistress!" The crowd laughed. David, her husband, then announced, "I don't know these people," even shoving Chloe away. His text followed: "Stop causing a scene. You' re embarrassing yourself." How could he deny them? The man whose career depended on VLH, her company. The humiliation deepened as Sophia threw cash, and the crowd, VLH partners, jeered. The final blow: Sophia posted doctored videos online, portraying Ellie as an unhinged stalker, inciting cyberbullying. Then, a junior lawyer, dispatched by David, threatened Ellie with a multi-million dollar VLH lawsuit. The injustice burned, cold and precise. He'd used her company to attack her and her child. A profound silence fell. Ellie met David's smirk, Sophia's triumph, and the sneering faces. "As of this moment," Ellie declared, voice steady, eyes ice, facing the lawyer, "you're fired." This was the Chairwoman's public declaration of war.

Ellie Vance, Chairwoman of Vance Legacy Holdings, brought her daughter, Chloe, to a school gala. Her husband, David Miller, an SVP at her family's company, had claimed urgent VLH business. But Ellie saw him on stage: beaming, accepting an award. Beside him, Sophia Hayes-his college girlfriend and VLH employee-and her young son. They looked like a family.

The knot in Ellie's stomach turned to ice. When Ellie confronted him, David embraced Sophia and Ethan, declaring, "This is my answer." Later, Chloe cried, "That's my Daddy! She's the mistress!" The crowd laughed. David, her husband, then announced, "I don't know these people," even shoving Chloe away. His text followed: "Stop causing a scene. You' re embarrassing yourself."

How could he deny them? The man whose career depended on VLH, her company. The humiliation deepened as Sophia threw cash, and the crowd, VLH partners, jeered. The final blow: Sophia posted doctored videos online, portraying Ellie as an unhinged stalker, inciting cyberbullying. Then, a junior lawyer, dispatched by David, threatened Ellie with a multi-million dollar VLH lawsuit.

The injustice burned, cold and precise. He'd used her company to attack her and her child. A profound silence fell. Ellie met David's smirk, Sophia's triumph, and the sneering faces.

"As of this moment," Ellie declared, voice steady, eyes ice, facing the lawyer, "you're fired." This was the Chairwoman's public declaration of war.

Werewolf

5.0

"Anya, a 'wolfless' in a world of powerful werewolves, was invisible, drowning her sorrows and desperately lonely. One drunken text, a desperate cry for attention, accidentally reached the Alpha, pulling her into his terrifying orbit. Now, she's trapped, a pawn in his game, forced to warm his bed while he waits for his true mate, her heart breaking with every stolen moment. As a 'wolfless' in the Blackwood Pack, Anya felt like an outsider, always yearning for a connection. One night, in a drunken haze, a misdirected text meant for her best friend landed in Alpha Declan Blackwood's inbox: ""Send me something hot."" Minutes later, the most powerful, terrifying man in the Pack stood at her door, claiming her with a possessive kiss that ignited a dangerous, unwanted fire. The next morning, his cold indifference shattered her world. Publicly humiliated and instantly fired, Anya became a pariah. Her dying mother's urgent need for a million-dollar heart transplant left her with an impossible choice: accept the Alpha's cold, transactional marriage proposal or watch her mother die. She became his ""placeholder"" wife, a contract, not a partner, all while battling a confusing attraction to the man who treated her as property. Why did he demand her, only to remind her constantly of her worthlessness, especially when everyone knew he waited for his true mate? Her world crumbled when she overheard Declan tell his returning ""true mate,"" Kristin Larsen, that Anya was ""just a substitute."" Despite the crushing betrayal and a strange, unyielding pull, Anya, fueled by her mother's desperate need, vowed to survive this gilded cage and reclaim her life before she lost herself completely."

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

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.
