Rusé

My father died of a serious illness. One day before his funeral, my fiancée returned home to get married to her crush. When I confronted her about her actions, she got annoyed with me. "His father has cancer. His last wish is to see me marry him.” "I just want to do a good deed. Can you stop being so selfish?" When I called her that night, it was her crush who picked up the call. "Helen's showering right now. I'll pass your message to her." I said nothing. All I did was hang up calmly. Later that night, my fiancée finally called me. She sounded exhausted. "I'll be having my wedding reception soon. Don't bother me with your dad's funeral." This time, I continued staying silent. However, I got rid of my engagement ring and canceled all of our engagement plans.

“Russian Mafia’s Queen” is a tantalizing, high-stakes dark romance that plunges into the dangerous world of the Russian mafia. Chloe Monroe, a woman with a hidden past, is thrust into a life she never expected when she crosses paths with the cold and calculating Nicholas Romanov, heir to the Russian mafia’s empire. Nicholas is a man driven by power and control, a leader who never leaves loose ends. But Chloe’s presence disturbs him in ways he can’t explain. Despite his dangerous world, Chloe’s past is more than just a mystery—it’s a puzzle he’s determined to solve. What’s worse, she seems to know more than she lets on, and the lies she’s living could threaten everything he’s worked for. As passion ignites between them, secrets begin to unravel, and Chloe realizes that staying hidden may no longer be an option. Nicholas won’t let her slip away, and Chloe knows that if he ever discovers who she truly is, her past will come crashing into her present—and no one will be safe.

"I didn't do anything wrong, Zayn!" My vision went blurry with tears after I watched him kick the unconscious man on the floor aside. I instinctively retreated a few steps back as he approached me silently, his icy blue eyes now replaced with the eyes of a savage wolf. I knew I was completely doomed at the moment but I couldn't give up for the sake of my son. "Roger is the one who tried to take advantage of me-" "Shh," His lips covered mine the next second, pulling my soft body flush against his own as he kissed all my senses out of me. I was completely lost in the moment until he pulled back and whispered against my lips, "Don't worry, I'll investigate this matter myself, darling. We both know that I don't believe the words that come out of your sweet, pretty mouth." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ever since Maisie was abandoned by her mate, she vowed never to let him near her or their son.

"Sayang, aku setel ke pengaturan tertinggi sekarang. Nikmatilah." Sambil berkata, suamiku menekan tombol pengontrol di tangannya. Aku masih di luar, di antara kerumunan, tapi aku langsung lemas terduduk di lantai di bawah tatapan semua orang. "Nggak ... Ini terlalu berlebihan." Sebelum aku sempat berdiri, semua pria di sekitarku mendekat, menatapku dengan tatapan jahat. "Bu, biar kami bantu..."

"Elena, why are you hiding from me? (Elena, kenapa kau menghindar dariku?)" "You know why ... I'm married, i have kids. And you're such a bad influence on me. (Kau tau kenapa ... Aku sudah menikah dan mempunyai anak-anak. Lagipula kau membawa pengaruh buruk buatku" "You have married too seven years ago but you still want to meet me. We're even ... (Kau pun sudah menikah tujuh tahun lalu tapi kau masih bersedia menemuiku. Bahkan kita ..." "Stop it. It's a big mistake!!! (Hentikan. Dulu itu kesalahan besar!!!)" "Calm down, Elena ... i'm here not to argue. I miss you ... (Tenanglah, Elena ... Aku di sini bukan untuk berdebat. Aku rindu padamu ..." Elena hampir terisak, mukanya memerah matanya berair napasnya tersengal. Ia ingin segera berlalu dari momen ini. "I am not the same person. I have changed. And I am fully happy for I am now. Don't ruin my happiness. I want you to stay away from my life ... please ... (Aku bukanlah orang yang sama. Aku sudah berubah. Dan aku sangat bahagia dengan keadaanku sekarang. Jangan mengusik kebahagiaanku. Menjauhlah dari kehidupanku ... Aku mohon ....)" "I'll wait ... (Aku akan menunggu ...)" "Don't wait. You have to move on. Get married, have a bunch of kids like you want it. Be happy ... (Jangan menunggu. Kau harus melanjutkan hidupmu. Menikahkah. Miliki banyak anak seperti yang kau mau. Berbahagialah ...)" "I can't find someone like you. (Aku tidak bisa menemukan penggantimu.)"

What will you do if you can no longer remembered by someone you really love the most? Gonna leave or stay?

Back then, he was my everything. He was my childhood friend, my neighbor, and my teenage dream. I used my chance to confess my love to him on prom night, in front of everyone! It turned out he rejected me just because of the ridiculous reason that his type of girl was a supermodel. Seven years passed, and I still had not become what he wanted. My life had become even harder. I was getting too old to remain a model, and my boyfriend had cheated on me. Until one night, I met him again, my ex-crush. It was time to take revenge and make him beg for my love. A golden opportunity came when my new boss at the agency promised me the title of supermodel as long as I obeyed him. Unfortunately, there was no such thing as a free lunch. There was something I could not control in this dazzling fashion world. Did I really have to give up everything to achieve success, both in my career and in my love life? Could I have a brilliant career without sacrificing my romance? *** "Last night was a mistake," she sighed. "I thought you were commenting that last night was amazing," I teased with a smile. "Yes, last night was amazing, and yes, I admit it was the best sex I've ever had in my adulthood," she grunted, looking frustrated. Upon hearing that confession, my blood boiled. I rose from my chair and stood right next to her. She looked puzzled as I trapped her in the chair. I leaned down low. "Then don't say it was a mistake. Last night was the best thing I've ever had in my adulthood," I whispered in her ear.

I am the wife of the capital city’s esteemed tycoon. We were married in secret for three years. At the celebratory banquet, I was about to make our relationship public. However, his first love, Juvelia Shaw, stumbled into the hall clutching her torn collar. “Edwin, save me! Peri Sanders brought along her penniless brother. He just forced a kiss on me in the lounge! “He says he’s your brother-in-law. If I want to get into the Gough family, I have to please him.... Argh! I have been defiled!” The room fell deathly silent before erupting into a chorus of finger-pointing and curses. They accused me of forcing my brother to assault the esteemed tycoon’s woman just to secure his favor. Edwin Gough’s eyes blazed crimson. He ripped off his coat and wrapped it tightly around Juvelia. Then, he flung a glass of red wine at my face. Gritting his teeth, he glared at me. “Peri, bring out that beast of a brother of yours!” “Since his mouth is so vile, let’s pull out his teeth and cut his tongue off to feed the dogs! Otherwise, I’ll make the entire Sanders family pay with their lives!” Amidst the crowd’s looks of contempt and disgust, I burst into laughter. My brother had long since lost his voice. Three years ago, in a fire, he had inhaled excessive smoke while saving Edwin, which had destroyed his vocal cords. His tongue was gone too.

"I don't do relationships Miss Williams. I don't love. I just fu**. Is that what you want fom me so that you stop following me?" His straightforward question made her turn hundred shades red,the word he used enough to lower her gaze and burn her insides in a new swirl of emotion. "No" She manages to whisper.To only have him dip his face closer to her. "Then stay the fuc* away from me Miss Williams. Because I am only going to break your heart." Stepping back from her,he was going to leave when he stops in his tracks listening to her reply. His fists clenching. "This is what I like the most about you Your Highness." "Your honesty."

After my secret crush was discovered, my adoptive uncle Kieran, who always loved me, completely became a different person. He no longer smiled at me, and he began to stay far away from me. I tried everything, even stripped naked and stood before him begging him to mark me. All I got in return was his words of rejection: disgusting. Three months later, he even brought my best friend Scarlett home and claimed her as his fiancée. Looking at the deep wariness in his eyes toward me, I suddenly smiled with relief. I agreed to my Alpha grandfather's tentative proposal for an arranged mating. But when I finally gave up him and mated to another Alpha, why did he beg me to come back?
