Elijah Fiorensco

I found it so hard to forget about her. Since that day, I had been trailing her. She didn't appear like an ordinary girl. Something had definitely chased her into that club - virgins don't just wander into places like that. Her timidness and naivety said it all.

Initially, it was none of my business, but I couldn't control my curiosity about her.

I did my research and found out every detail regarding her.

"Boss, she has applied for the vacancy as predicted."

I dropped the call and smirked. I had anticipated she would do anything to save her mother. Obviously, that was one of the reasons she ended up in the club that night.

I stared at the file on my table.

Ariana Moreno.

Twenty-one years of age.

Graduate. Studied cyber security.

Mother diagnosed with late-stage pneumonia.

Fatherless. No siblings.

The little thing had surely lived a shitty life.

I was the one who dropped the vacancy online - a house help position. I knew she would rush it, and she did exactly that.

I had Kelly visit the hospital and settle her mother's medical bills, with a very strict warning. On no account should the doctors or the director let her know. I bought a very large share of the hospital immediately, indirectly making it mine... just to make sure everyone behaved themselves.

She wouldn't have a reason to work in my villa if her mother was healed.

Maybe fate wanted it this way... or maybe I controlled fate myself.

I thought I could completely let her go, but it felt like a part of me was missing the moment she left. I had never felt this way - not even for Kaida.

I barely slept in the villa anymore, always in the office or caught up with company affairs. Now it was time to return to the villa... it wasn't that bad after all.

It was late at night when I finally packed up.

"You can send the file containing the list of weapons out tonight. I'm heading back to the villa," I said, already grabbing my car keys.

"You mean the villa?" Maxwell asked in disbelief. "Oh... the new club girl from that night?" He burst into laughter. "Can't believe brother's finally settling down. This is going to drive Kaida crazy," he added, laughing like the moron he was.

I threw him a cold glare and walked out of the building.

"Kelly... drive."

He grabbed the keys instantly while I settled into the limousine.

The drive back home was rough and dangerous as usual.

"Welcome back," the servants chorused.

"Where is Mrs. Smith?" I asked immediately. After my mother, she had always been the next person I acknowledged.

"She left for her grandson's coronation. She will be back early tomorrow morning," one of the security men replied.

I walked inside.

I freshened up, lit a cigarette, and sipped bourbon alongside it until I finally dozed off on the couch.

The Next Morning

I was woken up by faint noises outside. I stood up and connected to the large screen, only to find her arguing with the security.

She was dressed more covered and calmer compared to the last time I saw her.

I grabbed my phone.

"Let her in," I said softly, then walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

I could hear her footsteps echoing through the villa - even from the bathroom.

"Hi... good morning," her voice echoed.

She must be crazy, because who the fuck talks to an empty living room?

Deliberately, I came out with only a towel wrapped around my waist.

"Hi, little thing," I said softly before fully stepping into her view.

"What the fuck!!!" she almost screamed.

"You!!!"

My world shattered twice. First, the ocean claimed my son. Then, the mountain road took another, a direct sacrifice to the man I loved and the woman he chose. In the hospital, beeps marked the emptiness where my second son used to be, echoing the first loss, both involving Holden and Giana. During the car crash, I was pinned, bleeding, and trapped. Holden, my partner, looked me in the eyes, then chose to save Giana, abandoning me and our unborn child. Soon, I overheard Holden praising Giana for turning our tragedy into a PR win. His hollow apologies and focus on Giana’s "miracle work" reignited the brutal memory of her push and his past denials. A decade of sacrificing my life and two children for a man who saw me as a liability left a bitter taste. His choice was clear; only profound abandonment remained. But this time, I was choosing me. From my profound loss, a dangerous spark ignited: I would not just survive; I would find freedom and make him pay.

Healing My Seven Broken Beast Mates

9.4

My retirement was finally approved, and I was supposed to be sipping drinks on a sunny beach. Instead, a cold system voice forced me into a nightmare scenario: "Cursed Mates Who Want Me Dead." I woke up in a stinking cave, trapped in the body of a psychopathic tribal princess. The memories that flooded my brain made me sick. The original owner of this body had forcibly marked seven of the continent's most powerful beast-men and reduced them to tortured pets. She had ripped the shimmering scales off Jordi the Merfolk prince, gouged out a proud wolf-man's power crystal, and snapped an eagle-man's magnificent wings. Now, Jordi was a mutilated, terrified mess hiding in a corner. He was so traumatized that he tried to slit his own throat just to escape me. His sister was actively trying to assassinate me. To make matters worse, the system warned me that if I didn't heal these seven ticking time bombs, my soul would be erased. Yet the future timeline clearly showed that these men would eventually unite, burn my tribe to the ground, and dismember me alive. I was paying for a monster's sins. Every time I tried to show mercy, they thought it was a sick new torture method. Words were useless, and my very presence was a trigger. But I am a Tier-S operative, and I don't play the victim. I forced the system to unlock my powers and strapped on my tactical gear. "Stay here and don't starve." I left the trembling Merfolk behind and walked into the deadly primitive forest, heading straight for the powerful Oasis Tribe to take back his stolen scales by force.

His Unwanted Wife: The Genius Artist Returns

On our fifth anniversary, my husband slid a black velvet box across the table. Inside wasn't a diamond ring, but a fountain pen. "Sign the separation papers, Aurora," Ethan said. "Ilene is spiraling again. She needs to see we are over." I was the wife of the Mafia Underboss, yet I was being discarded for the Family Ward. Before I could answer, Ilene stormed into the restaurant. She shrieked that I was still wearing his ring and threw a bowl of boiling lobster bisque directly at my chest. As my skin blistered and peeled, Ethan didn't rush to me. He hugged her. "It's okay," he soothed the woman who had just assaulted me. "I've got you." The betrayal didn't stop there. When Ilene pushed me down the stairs days later, Ethan erased the security footage to protect her from the police. When I was kidnapped by his enemies, I called his emergency line—the one meant for life-or-death situations. He declined the call. He was too busy holding Ilene's hand to save his wife. That was the moment the chain broke. As the kidnapper's van sped onto the highway, I didn't wait for a rescue that would never come. I opened the door and jumped into the dark. Everyone thought Aurora Bruce died on that pavement. Two years later, Ethan stood outside a gallery in Paris, looking at the woman he had destroyed, finally realizing he had protected the wrong one.
