sweet

Beatrice has never experienced what it's like to be truly wanted and desired, believing she'd have to settle into some boring marriage and grow old in the most ordinary way. Yet one night, one gala changed everything. She catches the eyes of two men. One is the heir to the conglomerate families dominating Western economics. The other is the patriarch of the richest Swiss banking dynasty. Both are rivals — personally and professionally. Theodore clears his intentions on their very first bus ride. He doesn't hide, he doesn't manipulate. But Beatrice can't trust him, knowing he must be trying to use her to get information about the man she works for. Yet he remains persistent and adamant — and what first started as part of a plan, Theodore finds himself falling in love, something he swore he never would. On the other hand, Adrien is like the sweetest venom stuck in her throat. He is cold and ruthless but carries scars on his soul that only she is allowed to see. He doesn't know how to do anything halfway, and since day one, he wanted her — wanted to possess her, own her, worship her. But the misunderstanding between them is strong, and the difference in social status is inevitable. Once peaceful and boring, Beatrice's life suddenly becomes a whirlwind of passion, possession, power, hunger, betrayal, ache, and need. Love that breaks her into too many pieces, yet she keeps reaching for it. She finds herself in the web of history of five great families, each one hiding worse secrets than the last. Not a Cinderella story where she gets saved. Not a Cinderella where Prince Charming comes on a white horse. They bleed, they break, they plead, they yearn. And eventually — The story ends with her choosing one

She walked into the divorce lawyer's office thinking she understood the deal. Five years of marriage. A prenup she signed on the day before the wedding because he promised it was just a formality. A marriage that started with champagne and ended with silence. When she signed those final papers, Katherine Hayes had nothing. No house. No savings. No company stock. He kept it all. His lawyer smiled like he'd won a war. Katherine promised herself she'd never need him again. But the universe has a twisted sense of humor. Three years later, James Devereaux's tech empire is crashing. His company Devereaux Technologies is bleeding money. His board is calling for his head. His reputation is fracturing. He's making reckless decisions, surrounding himself with people who don't understand his vision, and running his company like a man trying to punish himself. He needs a financial advisor. Someone brilliant. Someone ruthless. Someone who won't be intimidated by his name or his money. His board recommends Katherine Hayes, the woman who built herself up from nothing after losing everything. The woman who took her divorce settlement of fifty thousand dollars and turned it into a multi-million-dollar financial consultancy. The woman he used to love. Katherine's first instinct is to say no. To laugh in the face of the irony. Then her business partner tells her something that changes everything. James is going to hire someone else. Someone mediocre. Someone who will let his company die. And watching him fall apart from the outside will hurt more than watching him fall apart from up close. So Katherine agrees to a six-month contract. What she doesn't expect is the way James looks at her when she walks into the boardroom. Like she's the answer to a prayer he's been whispering in the dark. What James doesn't expect is that the woman he was too arrogant to fight for is still the person who understands him better than anyone alive. Over the next six months, their professional relationship becomes a minefield of hidden glances, tension that could light fires, and conversations that expose the parts of their hearts they've spent three years trying to bury. But Katherine made a promise to herself. She won't fall for him again. She won't be the woman who signs away her future for a man who sees her as another acquisition. And James made a promise to himself. He won't ask her to choose him over her safety this time. The question isn't whether they can fix his company. The question is whether they can fix what they broke. And if they do, will Katherine sign the contract that matters most? The one that says she's choosing him, not because she has to, but because she finally can.

“Where did you go?” He questioned, not bothering to adjust his unbuttoned shirt. I had run away but here I was coming to apologize for my actions. “You think you can come and go as you please?” His fingers pressed against my cheeks, firm but not painful, forcing me to meet his gaze. “No, I—I,” I stammered, but before I could finish, his lips almost grazing mine, he interrupted, his tone ice-cold. “You will go home this instant,” he spoke, his face dark. “And you'll stay there till I get back,” he barked out his orders, his eyes boring into mine. “Who do you think you are to order me around,” I thought to respond but my lips wouldn’t make a sound. I didn't fight back. I couldn’t. Without another word, I turned and walked away, his gaze searing into my back. ~~~~~~~~~~ After a steamy night with a sexy stranger, Elena finds out she is pregnant.

They gave her ruins. She built a home. After a brutal betrayal by her boyfriend and best friend ends in a fatal accident, Qin Lian wakes up inside a novel — as the fake daughter of the Qin family. Discarded overnight after the real daughter returns, she is forced to swap engagements and marry a rumored old pig farmer from the countryside who already has three children. Everyone mocks her fate. “Wasn’t she the arrogant spoiled brat of the Qin family? Look at her now.” “She stole Mu Rouyu’s life for years. This ending suits her perfectly.” “Married to an old man with three children? Her life is finished.” They expect Qin Lian to spend the rest of her life buried in mud and regret — becoming a vicious stepmother trapped in a loveless marriage while Mu Rouyu takes back everything that should have belonged to her. But the moment Qin Lian steps into that village… the story begins changing. Because the rumored old pig farmer is not old at all, but a dangerously handsome former soldier with broad shoulders, a cold face, and eyes that soften only for his wife. The children who were supposed to fear her slowly begin clinging to her side. The miserable life everyone expected never comes. Instead, while others wait for Qin Lian to fail, she quietly rises higher and higher — building businesses, earning wealth, and becoming someone even influential figures cannot ignore. And the people who once mocked her? They can only watch in disbelief as the discarded fake daughter becomes the most successful person among them all. Meanwhile, Mu Rouyu slowly realizes something she never expected. Even after taking back her identity… she still cannot win against Qin Lian. Especially when the man once meant to stand beside Mu Rouyu can’t stop looking at Qin Lian instead. But Qin Lian no longer cares about the people who betrayed her once before. This time, she won’t beg for love. She won’t fight for approval. And she certainly won’t lose. Because while they were waiting for her life to fall apart… Qin Lian was already building a life everyone else could only envy. .....Excerpt...... “Rouyu, your fiancé treats you so well.” “No wonder so many girls envy you and Officer Lin.” Surrounded by flattering voices, Mu Rouyu smiled faintly and glanced at the gold ring inside the counter. “Miss, this one is 380 yuan.” Her fingers paused. Too expensive. The saleswoman’s smile faded slightly as she quietly placed the ring back down. Mu Rouyu’s expression stiffened. Just then, the jewelry store doors opened. “Mom! That necklace is beautiful!” Mu Rouyu froze instantly. Qin Lian walked in beneath the crystal lights, three beautiful children surrounding her while the tall man beside her carried a cold, imposing aura that instantly drew attention. One of the girls whispered, stunned, “Who’s that man?” “So handsome…” Mu Rouyu’s fingers tightened. Wasn’t Qin Lian supposed to be suffering in the countryside? Qin Lian glanced at the necklace and shook her head lightly. “Forget it. It’s too expensive.” “Wrap it,” the man beside her said calmly. Qin Lian frowned. “Xu Yinchen.” “If you like it, why not buy it?” Then Mu Rouyu noticed something even worse. Lin Chengyan wasn’t looking at her anymore. His gaze was fixed entirely on Qin Lian, the regret in his eyes impossible to hide. ......xxxxx......
