Chapter 3

Zaria’s POV

The moment our eyes met — mine wide open, his frozen in horror — the room cracked with a tension so sharp it could slit skin.

Daniel took a step back like he’d seen a ghost.

Maybe he had.

I didn’t flinch. I didn’t move. I kept my gaze steady, hollow, as if I was still lost. Still locked in the realm between death and memory.

Because I had to be smart.

They thought I was brain-dead. They believed I hadn’t heard a word. And if I reacted now — if I screamed, cried, or let the fury bubbling inside me leak through even one look — I’d lose the only advantage I had.

They didn’t know that I knew.

And until I had proof, I had to keep it that way.

Ava stormed back in, her heels clicking sharply on the tile floor. “What’s wrong?” she asked, then froze the second she saw my open eyes.

“Oh my God,” she breathed.

Daniel just stared at me. Frozen. Pale.

“She’s awake?” Ava asked again, louder this time. Harsher.

Silence followed. A long, terrifying silence.

I blinked — slowly, deliberately — like I didn’t understand what was happening. Like my mind was still foggy. My throat burned, but I forced a soft, broken sound from it. Something that sounded more like confusion than accusation.

“D-Daniel?”

His name came out cracked, uncertain.

His face contorted. Relief? Guilt? Fear? I couldn’t tell. Maybe it was all of them.

“Oh my God, Zaria,” Ava rushed to my side, tears welling in her eyes too quickly to be real. “You’re okay. You’re really awake. We... we were so scared.”

Liar.

I didn’t respond.

Suddenly, the room buzzed with activity. Nurses rushed in, followed by the doctor. Monitors beeped faster. The lights got brighter. A whirlwind of tests and questions followed — none of which I answered.

I kept up the act. Fragile. Lost. Quiet.

Then the door opened, and someone new stepped in.

A man. A stranger in a tailored charcoal suit.

Tall. Sharply built. His presence was so commanding, the entire room fell silent. His dark eyes scanned everything with calm intensity, then landed on me. Not with pity. Not with awe.

With calculation.

He didn’t belong to the hospital staff. I knew that immediately.

“Who are you?” the doctor asked, clearly suspicious.

The man ignored the question. He stepped closer to the bed, brushing past Ava and Daniel like they were invisible. His voice was low, smooth, and terrifyingly calm.

“Zaria Dawson.”

I blinked slowly again, keeping up the foggy act.

“I’m Roman. Roman Kade,” he said, pulling a small silver badge from his coat pocket and flashing it briefly. “Private security. I’ve been hired by your father.”

My father.

So he was still out there. Still fighting for me, not realizing he had left the most dangerous monsters by my side.

I felt a weight lift lightly but that was enough.

Roman turned to the doctor. “You’ll keep her under private observation from this point forward. No visitors without approval.”

The doctor frowned. “We have protocols—”

“I’d think you’d welcome discretion over scandal,” Roman said, his tone sharp and cutting.

Silence fell again.

Ava’s eyes widened. Daniel tensed beside her.

They understood exactly what he was implying.

And so did I.

They were the danger.

And Roman looked like he knew it too.

He looked at me once more. This time, his gaze softened — just slightly. Just enough to make me feel something I hadn’t felt since the night of the crash.

Safety.

“I’ll be stationed just outside,” he said in a quieter voice, one meant only for me. “Don’t worry. You’re not alone.”

Then he turned and walked out.

For the first time, Daniel and Ava looked like they wanted to run.

But they couldn’t. Not yet.

“Zaria...” Daniel whispered, leaning closer. His hand trembled as it hovered above mine. “I... I’m so sorry, I should’ve stopped you from driving that night..”

Sorry?

He was scared now.

Good.

I blinked again, just once, and let my eyes slowly drift shut, as if the effort of staying awake had drained me completely.

Let them believe they still had time.

Let them pretend this wasn’t the beginning of their end.

Because now I had a name and maybe a person on my side.

Roman Kade.

And if he worked for my father, then he had power. Access. Resources.

If I was going to bring Daniel and Ava down, I needed someone like him.

But first, I needed to know the truth.

Could Roman Kade be trusted?

Or was he just another mask waiting to fall?

Flash Marriage To My Ruthless Professor

8.4

I signed a prenuptial agreement with a cold-blooded Wall Street predator just to unlock my trust fund and fight my greedy stepmother. We were nothing more than legal roommates bound by a strict three-year contract. But to survive the corporate war at my family's company, I skipped my mandatory university finance class and paid a guy to answer the roll call for me. The stand-in was immediately caught and kicked out by the notoriously ruthless new professor. That night at dinner, I complained to my contract husband about the professor. "He's an unreasonable, arrogant dictator who gets off on torturing his students," I complained bitterly. My husband just calmly cut my steak and listened as I bragged about how I was going to fake-cry and manipulate the professor the next morning. I even rushed to the faculty office the next day and performed a desperate, tearful apology to an elderly man I assumed was the tyrant. I thought I had perfectly balanced my corporate war and my academic life. I thought I had fooled everyone. But when I confidently sat in the front row of the massive lecture hall, the heavy wooden doors pushed open. The terrifying new professor walked onto the podium and aggressively wrote his name on the chalkboard: Elliot Dillard. It was my contract husband. He looked down at me with cold, merciless authority, knowing every single lie I had told, and slowly called my name.

Not Just an Incubator: The Omega's Revenge

7.7

I thought I was the luckiest Omega in the world when the Alpha of the New Moon Pack chose me. I was pregnant with his heir, sleeping in his bed, believing the warmth I felt was love. But then I found the medical report hidden in his desk. "Subject: Scent Modulator. Dosage: High." It wasn't a fated bond. It was a drug. He was chemically forcing me to love him. My best friend dragged me to a restaurant window, and I watched him kiss my cousin, Olivia. Through the glass, I heard the words that shattered my soul. "Just a few more months," Ethan told her, caressing her hand. "Once the incubator drops the brat, we'll dispose of her. Then we raise the heir as ours." I was never his Luna. I was livestock. A walking womb chosen for my bloodline compatibility because his mistress was barren. My father had tried to warn me with his dying breath, but I had been too blinded by the synthetic scent to listen. Grief threatened to kill me, but the White Wolf inside me woke up screaming for vengeance. I went back to the house. I didn't pack a bag. I went straight to the kitchen and brewed a tea of Wolfsbane and Mugwort. I drank it all, weeping as I felt the bond to the baby snap. Then, I walked into our bedroom, left the divorce papers on his pillow, and whispered into the mind-link: "I, Ava Miller, reject you, Ethan Cole, as my mate." As he screamed in my head, I blocked him and walked into the rain. He thought he broke a weak Omega. He didn't know he had just unleashed a White Wolf.

Rising From Ruin: The Billionaire's Lethal Roommate

8.6

For two years, I was trapped behind my own eyes, a prisoner in my own skull. A crazed fan had hijacked my body after a brutal car crash, wearing my skin like a cheap suit. When my soul finally locked back into my flesh in a cramped hospital room, I realized she had destroyed everything I built. This parasitic stalker had drained my massive fortune to zero, buying luxury gifts for a mediocre actor and turning me into the internet's most hated woman. My phone was flooded with death threats, and the hashtag demanding I go to hell was trending at number one. Even the hospital nurses despised me. One marched into my room, raising her hand to violently slap my pale cheek. "You psychotic bitch, you make me sick!" Worse, my sprawling Beverly Hills estate had been foreclosed and sold to a mysterious billionaire named Kasey Dominguez. I had absolutely nothing left. No money. No reputation. No home. The sheer violation of watching a psychotic stranger ruin my life while I was locked in the passenger seat of my own mind made my blood boil. I refused to let her destroy my legacy. As the nurse's hand descended, my atrophied muscles snapped into action. I twisted her wrist until the joint popped, grabbed the keys to my freedom, and slipped out into the cold Los Angeles night. I was going to take my life back, starting with the billionaire who thought he owned my house.
