Boardroom Secrets

Isabella Chen returns to New York carrying a secret that could shatter one of the city’s most powerful families: Lily, the five-year-old daughter Alexander Cross never knew existed. Desperate to secure stability for her child, Isabella applies for a senior role at Cross Global, hoping the man she once loved has forgotten their past in Hong Kong. He hasn’t. Alexander Cross, now a hardened billionaire CEO, is stunned by Isabella’s sudden reappearance. Haunted by her unexplained disappearance five years earlier, he hires her under strict conditions while secretly ordering a complete background investigation. As Isabella navigates brutal workloads, public scrutiny, and forced proximity—including attending a high-society gala as Alexander’s date—old emotions resurface alongside unresolved betrayal. The tension escalates when Alexander’s mother, Victoria Cross, recognizes Isabella and begins probing into her past, hinting that she knows more than she should. At the gala, family secrets explode publicly as Alexander discovers his mother has been plotting to sell Cross Global behind his back. Meanwhile, his investigator uncovers the truth Isabella has hidden: hospital records confirming she gave birth shortly after leaving Hong Kong. Alexander realizes Isabella didn’t just abandon him—she left carrying his child. Betrayal, rage, and heartbreak collide as he prepares to confront both Isabella and his mother. The story follows their volatile journey from enemies bound by secrets to lovers forced to confront trust, forgiveness, and the consequences of choices made in fear.

My werewolf baby-daddy wants me back: forbidden love

“Do you promise to stop tormenting me if I have sex with you?” I asked. “Depends on your behavior and how good you are in bed.” He answered but I masked the hurt, telling myself that I was doing it for my son. “Fine,” I muttered and stripped. “So this is how easily you give yourself to men, makes me wonder how easy it was for my brother.” Lucas mocked, staring at me disgustingly that made me coil, embarrassed and humiliated. “What have I ever done to deserve this treatment from you?” I questioned, tears slipping from my eyes. “Get dressed, I don’t fuck whores.” … Jane Carter is an ordinary human woman struggling to survive. By night she waits tables at a rundown bar; by day she dreams of a better life. One fateful evening, she meets a mysterious stranger, neither man nor beast, whose presence awakens something dangerous and intoxicating within her. Their brief but intense relationship leaves Jane pregnant… and abandoned. Just four months before her due date, the man vanishes without a trace. Left alone to face poverty and heartbreak, Jane endures the ultimate tragedy when she gives birth to a stillborn child. Five years later, Jane’s life is far from healed. Her child is alive but gravely ill, hidden from the world and in desperate need of a life-saving operation that costs millions she does not have. Cornered by fate, Jane accepts a contract marriage offered by a wealthy and powerful man, Nathan Turner, in exchange for the money she needs to save her child. What she doesn’t expect is to be taken into a hidden world of werewolves, straight into the arms of her past. Lucas Turner, Nathan’s brother and the ruthless Alpha of the pack, is the very man who once loved Jane. Now married and bound by pack law, Lucas believes Jane betrayed and abandoned him, and allowed their child to die. Consumed by resentment, he makes Jane’s life in the pack a living nightmare, determined to punish her for a crime she never committed. Yet hatred is a thin veil over desire. As secrets unravel and truths long buried come to light, Jane must confront a terrifying reality: her child’s true nature, and the unbreakable bond that still ties her to Lucas despite the fact that they are both married. Will she trust Lucas one last time and risk everything or decide her own fate? … “Alpha Lucas, please let me go.” I glared at him as his grip tightened around my wrist, his hold unyielding. “And if I don’t?” He asked, lifting one brow slowly. “Then don’t blame me for being rude,” I warned, my voice tight. A smirk tugged at his lips. “Sleep with me.” The words hit me like a slap. My mouth parted in shock. “What?” I whispered. “I am your brother’s wife. How can you even ask that of me?” I scoffed, disbelief twisting my chest. “I know your marriage to my brother is fake,” Lucas said coldly. “Besides, you once worked at a bar…maybe you still do. Sleeping around shouldn’t be new to you.” The insult burned deep. My hand moved before I could think. The sharp sound of the slap echoed through the room, and tears spilled down my face as I stared at him. Lucas chuckled, completely unfazed. “Why?” He taunted. “Am I not man enough for you?” “You are a fucking bastard!” I screamed, my voice breaking as I yanked my wrist free from his grip.
