I was just an ordinary woman, working hard, minding my own business. Until the day my father sold me to a man I didn't even know. All because of a ten-million-dollar debt I didn't owe. Kade Dela Vega was ruthless, powerful, and feared by everyone. He married me not because he loved me, but because he wanted revenge. I became part of his war, a punishment meant for someone else. But I refused to be a victim. I stood my ground, even when it hurt. I never expected to fall for the man who took everything from me. Just when I thought I was finally free from my past, Niel came back. He is the man I used to love, the one who swore he'd never let me go. Now I'm caught between two dangerous men. One is my husband. The other is my past. Both are willing to start a war just to have me. I never wanted this life. But I became a bride worth a blood war.

THE BRIDE WORTH A BLOOD WAR Chapter 1 SOLD TO THE MAFIA KING

Slap!

"You're a useless daughter! What's the point of raising you if you won't even help us!?"

As her father's palm landed across her cheek, Zaira felt the sting burn into her skin. Her chest tightened, and she struggled to keep the tears from falling. She couldn't believe he had slapped her, just because he wanted to pay off a debt by selling her to a wealthy man. Her heart filled with resentment as she stared at her father, who looked back at her with nothing but fury in his eyes.

"Dad, I don't understand why it feels like I'm not even your daughter anymore. I'm your child too, and I will never let you force me to pay for a debt that my sister caused."

"Stupid girl! Don't be selfish, Zaira. You know your sister has a heart condition, and you're the only one we can count on to pay off the ten million dollars we owe to Kade!" her father shouted as he dragged her out of the house.

"Daddy, I'm begging you. Please don't do this! Mommy, please... help me!" she sobbed and pleaded as one of her father's bodyguards pulled her toward the gate against her will. But her mother, in the middle of a manicure session in the family's living room, acted as if she couldn't hear her daughter's desperate cries.

Sitting in the backseat of the car, Zaira couldn't hold back her tears. Ever since she was a child, she had always been the one to cover for her older sister's mistakes. Even when it came to toys, her sister always had to get them first before she could play. Her parents constantly scolded her for not understanding her sister's moods, always reminding her that her sister was sick, and she was not. Did she really have no other choice but to pay off her father's debt?

Eventually, their car stopped on a private island. Zaira quickly wiped her tears and looked around. Up ahead, she saw a sign that read Isla de la Promesa-"The Island of Promise."

"Get out of the car and fix your face before I slap you again! I won't be embarrassed in front of the owner of this island!" her father barked as he yanked her out of the vehicle. Zaira winced when his grip on her wrist tightened.

"Please, Dad, bring me home. I promise I'll help you pay off your debt; just don't sell me. I have a job; I'll borrow money from the office," she cried again, clinging to the car door, refusing to go with him.

Her father raised his hand to slap her again but stopped when he saw her finally start to walk. She had no choice but to follow him, even though her heart resisted. Her pleas may have fallen on deaf ears, but she still hoped the man planning to buy her would take pity and let her go.

As she trailed behind her father, Zaira couldn't help but grumble softly under her breath. Her father suddenly stopped and turned around, yelling at her.

"Fix your face! I swear, if your mother and I fail to sell you, and I end up looking bad in front of Kade, I'll kill you when we get home!"

Those words struck her like a slap. She swallowed her tears, finally realizing he no longer cared for her at all. Soon after, they entered through a large gate just a few meters from the shoreline. The guards must have been expecting them, as they were allowed in immediately.

Zaira was stunned by the sight before her. The mansion looked like something straight out of a TV drama. The beauty of the villa and its surroundings was absolutely breathtaking.

"Good morning, Troy. Is Kade inside?" Mayor Enrique asked politely as a man greeted them past the gates.

"He's been waiting for you in his office upstairs," replied Troy, Kade Villanova's trusted underboss. "Follow me and I'll take you there. Just so you know... he's not in a good mood," he added, causing Enrique's face to suddenly pale.

"Boss, Mayor Enrique is here," Troy announced as he knocked on the closed door.

"Let him in," came the reply.

Troy opened the door slowly after hearing the response.

As they entered, Zaira glanced at her father and noticed how pale and anxious he looked. She wondered why his hands and forehead were covered in cold sweat. Then her gaze shifted to the man behind the desk, who was busy signing papers stacked in front of him. She couldn't understand why her father feared this man so much-his face didn't look threatening at all.

He looked no older than twenty-four. His features were flawless-he had a sharp jawline, a deep dimple on his right cheek, long eyelashes, and a perfectly shaped nose. He didn't look like any celebrity she'd seen on TV. In her eyes, he resembled Adonis, the Greek god of beauty. Even in a simple white shirt clinging to his sculpted biceps, every inch of his body looked flawless. She was sure that any woman would kneel before this man just to be held and kissed by him. Zaira wasn't even a perfectionist, but he easily surpassed her expectations. He wasn't shirtless, but she had no doubt he had a six-pack under that shirt.

Still, she had no intention of giving him her heart. She already had a boyfriend. He wasn't perfect, but she loved him deeply, and they were about to get engaged. All she was waiting for was the right moment for him to propose.

"Did you bring the money?" the man asked seriously, still focused on the papers he was signing.

"Ah... hehe... Boss Kade, I was hoping we could make another arrangement. Instead of cash, I'm offering you my daughter as payment for the ten million dollars I owe you," Enrique stammered.

Kade froze.

He slowly raised his head to look at the woman. Their eyes met, locking for a moment.

Zaira felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the fire in his green eyes-but she didn't flinch. Her father may have already shown his fear, but she refused to let her emotions show in front of this man.

Secret Triplets: The Billionaire's Second Chance

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.

Sexy Behind The Mask

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

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.
