"Uncle?" Hashana was shocked when someone suddenly grabbed her arm. He looked at his arm which was now tightly held by Clifton. He tries to struggle to get out of it but the grip is tight. very strict cause it did not succeed in doing. He is weak. Why doesn't he want to see her? "Please, uncle. Let me go, please . . ." It was almost begged for her. He is losing strength. The sharp gaze of her boyfriend's father makes Hashana nervous. he never thought he would come to this point. I hope she doesn't agree to meet her boyfriend's father. He kept repenting. Very sorry. "Why aren't you breaking up with Rheo yet, Hashana." He closed his eyes. knees shaking with head bowed. Clifton's gaze was sharp on her. He knew, he was angry. Furious. "Do you want me to tell him that we have a child?" The two circles in Hashana's eyes grew. he looked up quickly as the abundant tears that he had been holding back came out. He shook his head and stared at the man. The eyes were pleading but the man in front of her was emotionless. His chest was tight at this time. bit his lower lip because of how hard he feels. He is afraid. Afraid to admit the truth to her boyfriend. He loves it very much. He could not divorce the child of the person he was facing now. "Please, don't say it." It moaned. luckily no one was passing their place in the farthest aisle. Maybe by chance there will be a big mess here at the hospital where she works as a nurse. The man in front of him now has a wife. When someone sees them in this position. they will definitely be kicked out of the hospital. Wrong, he was the only one because Clifton had a high rank in the hospital as a doctor. He catches his breath before we settle down. The man's golden eyes looked pleadingly. He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated. The girl's throat hurts from trying to stop crying. It dries up. "I-I'll tell him. Please, don't tell Rheo . . ." it was very difficult for him to speak. why did he end up in this situation? Why is her boyfriend's father the father of her child? Hashana bit the inside of her cheek. He sighed several times at the thought. Clifton's face was calm when it turned again, but it was still accompanied by strictness. One of the things that makes him wonder is why the man doesn't seem concerned about their current situation. What makes it even more difficult is that he is Rheo's father. he is married and then when he found out that they had a child, the man didn't seem to have a problem at all. Instead, he wants her to divorce the child. It's confusing. He was confused. He doesn't want to do the things the man says to break up with Rheo. but he knows . . she knows that the moment she tells her boyfriend that she has a child, he will hate her. It is even possible for the man himself to break up with her. Tears flowed at that thought. "Good. I just want us to be clear, Hashana. I will wait a week. if you can't still say it to him. I'll tell myself." The doctor passed him completely. He was left staring at the white wall. He blinked and sat there hugging his knees. There he poured out the pain. He moaned as he leaned his back against the cold concrete. she cursed the man in her mind. I hope he doesn't end up in the hospital. Why did Clifton find out that he had a child? That he has a son here.

"Let's go on a proper date, with flowers and candles, his lips twitched in a cocky smile, he leaned in forward, inhaling my scent like a drug he was addicted to. "And then what?" I replied, quivering. His lips were too distracting as they stood dangerously close to mine. "We can pretend to get to know each other if you want. And after that, I can fuck you senseless." Looking up to meet his dark gaze. I swallowed hard, I had only two choices, but whichever I chose, I knew I was screwed. Zach always knew his mate was out there, but at 25, after searching every pack, he had nearly given up hope. Then came Nicole, on the run from a broken past, scarred by betrayal after a humiliating scandal with her crush who sinisterly released a sex tape of her that would haunt her for life. She's sworn never to trust any man, but destiny had other plans. What happens when the one person you're meant to love is the last person you think you can trust?

Kael and I were fated Mates, and for seven years, I poured my soul and my family's wealth into saving his failing pack. But everything changed when he brought home Selene, a supposedly fragile Omega. During a freezing downpour, I watched my Alpha hold his umbrella entirely over her, leaving me to stand soaked and shivering in the rain. Things only got worse from there. He let her move into my newly built Luna villa, wear my custom silk pajamas, and drink from my mugs. He even demanded I hand over my family's sacred, ancient amulet just to soothe her nervous system. Whenever she squeezed out a few fake tears, Kael would unleash his Alpha aura to suppress anyone who questioned her, publicly humiliating me and calling me a cold-blooded, jealous monster for refusing to yield my territory. I had funded his entire pack. I couldn't understand how the boy who once threw his broken body over mine to save me from a rogue bear couldn't even hold an umbrella straight for me now. My endless patience had only taught him that my boundaries were meant to be crossed. So, I decided to stop playing the understanding Mate. At his mother's grand birthday banquet, in front of all the regional elders, I placed my silver engagement ring on the table. "I, Elara, reject you, Kael, as my mate." I severed our bond, demanded the immediate return of my thirty million gold coins, and prepared to expose the filthy, feral secret his precious Omega was hiding.

Ellie Vance stood on the edge of the manicured lawn, an outsider in the sprawling Texas kingdom of the Harrison family. Her adoptive mother, Maria Sanchez, had been the trusted fixer for the patriarch, Charles Harrison Sr. But now Maria was gone, her absence a gaping hole, lost to a suspicious "accident" shrouded in unspoken truths. Whispers hinted at Brenda Harrison, the patriarch's ruthless second wife, orchestrating Maria' s demise. Ellie, stripped of Maria' s protection, was now simply "Ellie," an insignificant shadow dismissed by the Harrison heiresses. They openly mocked her quietness, always mistaking her keen observation for dullness, pushing her further to the fringes. Brenda' s calculated triumph, aimed at erasing Maria' s influence, seemed complete and unchallenged. How could a girl, still reeling from the devastating loss of her only family, confront a powerful dynasty that saw her as nothing? How could she, lacking their "Harrison touch" for business or their ruthlessness, find justice when everyone dismissed the uncomfortable truth about Maria's death? What hidden secrets lay beneath the surface of this seemingly unshakeable empire? Beneath Ellie' s unassuming facade, however, burned a cold, calculated fury fueled by grief and a promise. Armed with Maria' s forgotten network and her own meticulous planning, Ellie would now pose as a quiet "intuition advisor" to systematically unravel the Harrison legacy. She would expose their corruption, destroy their power, and ensure that Maria' s memory was not just avenged, but redefined.

They took my daughter seven hours after she was born. They forged my signature. They buried the paperwork. They handed my baby to one of the most powerful men in the country and told the world she was gone forever. But I never believed them. For five years, I searched. Then a photograph landed on my desk-a little girl with dark hair and the same stubborn tilt of the head I saw in my own mirror every morning. Her name was Lily Blackwood. She was six years old. And she was mine. Now I'm inside Blackwood Manor-not as her mother, but as her nanny. Close enough to hold her hand. Close enough to hear her laugh. Close enough to watch her look at me as though she's been waiting for me her whole life. Because she has. Lily knows a lullaby I created for my unborn child-a song no one else should have heard. She says things that make no sense. She remembers feelings she shouldn't remember. And every day, she pulls me closer to a truth someone has spent years trying to bury. Damian Blackwood is not the man I expected. Cold. Controlled. Always watching. He lets me into his home when he should have sent me away. He keeps fresh flowers outside a locked room no one is allowed to mention, and every secret inside this house seems to lead back to the night my daughter disappeared. Someone stole my child. Someone built a web of lies to hide the truth. And as I uncover the secrets of Blackwood Manor, I realize there are people who will do anything to make sure I never reclaim the daughter they stole from me.
