Iris Chen, 25, thought she knew what love meant. For six years, she poured her heart into Damien Hartwell—her college sweetheart, her fiancé, the man she believed would be her forever. She worked three jobs to support his startup dreams, deferred her own career, and endured her stepfamily's cruelty because he promised they'd build a life together. Then, the day before their wedding, Damien announces he's marrying her dying stepsister Vivienne instead. "She only has six months to live," he says, as if that makes breaking Iris's heart noble. "You're strong. You'll understand." Iris's father—who remarried after her mother's death—sides with his "fragile" stepdaughter. Her inheritance? Stripped away and given to Vivienne as a wedding gift. Her job at the family company? Terminated. Even her apartment was never really hers—it was in Damien's name. Cast out with nothing but a suitcase and a shattered heart, Iris is ready to disappear into obscurity. Until a sleek black car pulls up beside her in the rain, and a man who looks like sin in a three-piece suit offers her an umbrella. Adrian Thorne, 35, is Manhattan's most ruthless corporate titan—a self-made billionaire with ice in his veins and a reputation for destroying anyone who crosses him. He's also devastatingly handsome, dangerously intelligent, and apparently... interested in her. His offer is simple: a one-year contract marriage. He needs a wife to secure a inheritance from his traditionalist grandmother and close a major business deal. She needs revenge, money, and a way to make Damien regret every breath he takes. The rules are crystal clear: - No emotional attachment - No falling in love - No questions about his past - Public perfection, private distance Except Adrian doesn't do distance. Every carefully staged kiss for the paparazzi lingers too long. Every "pretend" touch burns too hot. Every night he insists she sleep in his penthouse "for appearances" ends with them barely keeping to their separate rooms. And when Iris discovers she's pregnant—from one forbidden night when the lines between fake and real completely blurred—their contract marriage becomes the most dangerous truth either has ever faced. Because Adrian Thorne isn't who he claims to be. He's not just some billionaire who happened to find her that rainy night. He's been watching her for years, waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. And his connection to her past—and to Damien—runs far deeper and darker than she ever imagined. Damien is on his knees begging (especially after "dying" Vivienne makes a miraculous recovery and reveals her own agenda). Her family wants her back now that she's Mrs. Adrian Thorne. But her fake husband isn't playing anymore. "You were my revenge plan, Iris. Now you're my entire world. And I don't share."

And while she mourns her loss of their child, he celebrates another woman’s birthday. That night, Vivienne finally realizes she’s had enough. If her husband doesn’t want her, she won’t beg for his love. She will walk away. But Vivienne isn’t just any woman. She is the lost heiress of the Crest Group, a multi billion-dollar empire in England. The wife he saw as a nobody has just become the most powerful woman in the country. And now, the cold billionaire who once thought she was disposable will learn what it means to chase the woman who holds not only his heart but also the future of his company.

He divorced me at noon. By three, I owned his company. They called me wolfless and meek—until I returned as the mystery noteholder behind Hale Dynamics’ debt. Now the Alpha CEO who threw me away has to work under the wife he discarded. I didn’t come back for Cassian. I came back for my son and for justice. An audit exposes a Moon‑Thorn curse, a traitorous Beta, and a lab that turns bonds to ice. Boardrooms become battlegrounds, the Pack Council demands an oath, and my forbidden power—the judgment that can strip rank—puts every wolf on notice. If Cassian wants his pack, his company, and a place in our child’s life, he’ll have to do the one thing an Alpha was never taught: apologize—publicly—and earn me back. Expect: contract marriage → divorce → second chance, secret baby, vicious face‑slaps, group pampering, office politics, and a slow, honest redemption. He used to own the room. Now his wolf kneels for me.

A knife in the pregnant Luna’s belly. All evidence points to the Alpha’s scorned concubine. Althea didn’t do it. But no one will believe the wolfless omega who was rejected, humiliated, and made his slave. So she runs—straight into the Red Mist and into the jaws of the one creature that even the Alpha hunting her fears. --- Thorne Vargan, the Hellhound of the North Clan, swore bloody retribution on everyone responsible for destroying all he had ever known—especially the woman who beheaded his mother. As fate would twist it, that woman’s daughter stumbles into his hellish domain… And Thorne is not letting her go. He claims her. As captive. As leverage. As vengeance. But the fates have a different tale to weave as something in him hungers for her in ways far more dangerous than hate. Her scent tempts him. Her fear intrigues him. Her secrets threaten to set his blood—and the entire pack system—on fire. And while Thorne pins her to his world with claws and shadow, the Alpha she fled is coming. He wants his little omega back.

Dr. Rachel Maren doesn’t believe in second chances—especially not for Ethan Connors, the man who shattered her trust and left her with a scar that never quite healed. When a highway crash leaves Ethan clinging to life, Rachel becomes the neurosurgeon tasked with saving him. Professionally, she should refuse. Personally, she can’t walk away. What begins as an obligation turns into an obsession when Ethan wakes—alive, changed, and broken in ways medicine can’t fix. His memory fractures, his arrogance is gone, but his presence still ignites the same fire she swore she’d buried. Forced to oversee his recovery on his family’s remote Wyoming ranch, Rachel faces long days, colder nights, and the dangerous pull of a man who no longer remembers the pain he caused. But as Ethan’s body heals, so do his memories—and with them come secrets, guilt, and a betrayal that nearly destroyed them both. When his heart stops again, it isn’t just a medical crisis. It’s the anatomy of every regret they’ve ever buried. In the war between the past and forgiveness, love is the most dangerous surgery of all.

In the previous life, she loved him deeply. But in the end, not only did she lose all her family, but she also lost him, witnessing him being with other women. After being reborn, she decided to change herself. This time, she only wanted to acquire his property, have a relaxed and happy love, and live freely. When she proposed divorce to him and behaved intimately with other men, he was angry and lost control. To him, she was just a submissive and indifferent wife, but now suddenly she is so important to him. Once proud, he shed much of his dignity and came to her personally, pleading, "Sweetie, can you give me another chance?" She refused, saying, "Get out!" Only when he offered her his entire fortune did she begin to believe that this time, he was truly sincere.

The only way out is if you die, or I perish!" Fine, she chose death! Yet he laughed wickedly, "Woman, do you intend to kill the son in your womb?"

My half-sister was dying of cancer, and she had one final wish: to steal my life. She demanded my wedding, my fiancé, everything. So I watched as she walked down the aisle in the dress I designed myself, on the arm of the man I loved, into the wedding that should have been mine. For a dying woman, I could bear it. But when she came for the heirloom bracelet my late mother left me, something inside me snapped. At the auction, I watched my ex-fiancé, Jasper, shield her as they drove the price up to a staggering 200 million. Bled dry by my own parasitic family, I was helpless, forced to see my last connection to my mother fall into their hands— Until a calm, commanding voice cut through the room: “300 million.” The entire hall fell silent. Mack Ben, the notoriously private and influential head of the Ben family, had made the bid. “A gift,” he declared, his gaze finding mine, “for Miss Colby.” After I retrieved the bracelet, I promised to repay him. “Mr. Ben, I’ll find a way to pay back the 300 million.” He simply studied my face, a slight frown creasing his brow. “Freya Colby,” he asked softly, “have you forgotten me?” Me: ?

Now, Liam is one of the youngest, most powerful, and most desired CEOs in the country. And Mia? She's no longer the quiet, outcast girl he once dismissed.

“I beg you, Mia. Please tell me that this child is mine,” Henry begged as he looked at the woman holding the little boy in her arms. But, just as he reached forward to hug her— “Dear brother, just what do you think you are doing? Why are you trying to hug my wife and son?” Lucas stepped in between the two with a cheeky smile on his lips. He pointed to the boy and said, “Look carefully; he is my son.” Mia snorted upon hearing the two men fighting over her son. She hugged the little boy and smiled politely, “Last I remember, I was the one who gave birth to him. So carry on with your games, boys.” Mia Wills never knew how feeble life truly was until she lost everything in a matter of just a few hours. Seventy-two hours ago, she was a happily married woman who was about to head for her honeymoon. But seventy-two hours later, she met with her husband’s cold eyes, who asked her to divorce him.

The temptation was too strong for Mia to ignore. But as she signed the contract, she swore to never fall for Lucas. But would she be able to keep her feelings at bay when Lucas starts showering her with his undivided attention? Was it truly an act of love or a part of his cruel scheme? Moreover, when a murder case binds Henry, Mia and Lucas together, what kind of secrets will be unravelled? Would they still be sane after the shards of truth pierce them? Or would they lose themselves forever?
