I fell for Don Lorenzo Moretti the second I saw him. Hard. As a mafia princess, I wasn't supposed to chase anyone. But for him, I swallowed my pride and made him my mission. A year later, he finally had me, pinning me to the bed as he moved inside me. His eyes were pure fire, and in that mo ment, they saw only me. For ten years, we were electric. We fucked in five-star hotels all over the world. We just fit. I was his lucky charm at the poker table. I took shots for him until I bled from my stomach. I even took a bullet for him. Then came our engagement party. Lorenzo left me standing there alone. Said something "came up." I went back to our apartment, only to find him kissing my stepsister, Juliana. That’s when I knew. He had always loved her. I was just a stand-in. He tried to explain, words tumbling out in a panicked rush, promising a bigger, better party to make up for it. A laugh, cold and hollow, died in my throat. I turned my back on him, pulled out my phone, and called my mother in Sicily. "I'll marry into the Romano family."

For three years of marriage, she had been nothing more than a shadow in his life. To him, she was invisible, a convenience he sought only when it suited him.

But her happiness shattered when she found him at the hospital with his lover for a maternity checkup. She finally asked for a divorce and vanished. Heartbroken and distracted, she met with tragedy—an accident that almost claimed her unborn child. Five years later, Enlyan returns with her twins. "They are my children!" Damian's voice thundered, his eyes blazing with fury. "You dared to hide them from me all this time? I’m taking them away from you. They belong with me." Damian Blackwood growled, his intention turning cruel. And She was powerless against his anger.

Pemuda itu dengan mudah mencengkeram pergelangan tanganku dan mengangkatnya ke atas kepalaku. Tangan lainnya bergerak lancang di pinggangku. Lalu menyusup masuk dari balik keliman baju, meremas kulit di baliknya dengan berani. "Bu Merry, aku mohon padamu." Suaranya penuh godaan, hampir menghancurkan akal sehatku. "Pak Harvey bertanggung jawab memberikan ilmu padaku. Jadi, apa Bu Merry bisa memberiku yang lain?" Tangannya akhirnya berhenti di dadaku yang penuh. Dengan putus asa, aku menyadari bahwa akibat perbuatannya, ASI-ku yang memancar deras telah membasahi jari-jarinya...

"Lima ratus ribu sekali jalan. Tanpa perbuatan mesum. Kalau mau pelukan, gandengan tangan, ada ongkos tambahan, Pak," ucapku. "Kalau dibawa ke kondangan buat pamer ke keluarga, berapa biaya tambahannya, Han?" tanya Pak Akhtara, manajerku. "Saya tanyakan adminnya dulu, Pak." "Sekalian tanyakan, apa bisa kamu dibooking untuk beberapa bulan ke depan dengan modus pura-pura jadi tunangan saya?" Aku menatapnya terkejut, "Maaf, Pak?" "Anggap aja saya pelanggan setiamu. Nanti ada bonus dari saya kalau kamu mau dan nurut sama perjanjian kita. Gimana?"

Helaine Fairgrieve wasn't sure what to do when her rent was raised suddenly, until her long time acquaintance, Evan DuRosier, offered her a solution that would benefit the both of them. Helaine travels to his apartment in the less than reputable art district of the city to indulge his less than conventional desires, only to learn that he's keeping a dark secret. She's has never been in handcuffs before, much less bound and suspended from a man's ceiling while he pours hot wax on her sensitive skin. She isn't sure what's more frightening, the knife gliding across her skin, or the fact that she loves every pulse-pounding second of it. BDSM is normally based on a foundation of trust; lacking that, Evan and Helaine's relationship begins as something of a transactional nature, until she discovers that his lust for blood is more than just a fetish. What will she do when she discovers the truth about his Vampirism?
