Chased by two billionaires

“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.

Claimed by the Vengeful Alpha

Love. Hate. Revenge. Before she was the High Alpha's daughter, Maya was an orphan named Penelope—and Marcus Keenan was the boy who gave her his locket and promised to marry her... until she was torn from him. Taken by High Alpha Vilhelm, everyone, including Marcus, was told she died. Years later, Marcus returns from the recent war a hero—now Alpha Keenan—with power, lands, and the right to choose any woman as his mate. He takes Maya—the same girl who made his life miserable before he left. He doesn't recognize her as Penelope with the locket long gone. To him, she is cruel, two-faced, and an expert at manipulation. What he doesn't know is that Maya's cruelty was forced, a mask she wore to both protect him and survive. Now trapped in a marriage born of revenge, she must decide. Stay silent and play the part, or reveal who she truly is…before it’s too late. —— Excerpt “This marriage is fake,” Maya said. She should be happy but why did it hurt so much? “Fake?” Keenan frowned and closed the gap between them. He wrapped a palm around her neck, and Maya gasped but no sound left her throat. “Is this another ploy to escape me?” “Isn’t it fake?” Maya whispered, holding his hand, trying to ease his grip. It was getting hard to breathe. Her voice betrayed her, too hopeful even to her own ears. He stared with such hatred, yet a part of her didn’t want it to be fake. Keenan threw his head back and laughed, yet his grip on her neck never wavered. “Woman, surely this must be a joke. You think I would orchestrate a fake marriage with you?” He leaned closer, eyes locked on hers. “You undermine my hatred. I want you bound to me forever. I want you to hate every moment of your life and I will be right here to make sure of it. You can never escape me.” Keenan released her neck. She dropped to the floor, rubbing her throat as she finally drew a full breath. “Fake marriage? Don’t be ridiculous. Even your father couldn’t get you away from me.”

DECODING AURORA: HIS FIRST LOVE'S REVENGE

She came back to destroy him. She didn't plan on remembering why she loved him. Fifteen years ago, Isabella Gomez was erased—cast out of the Ashford estate with nothing but a borrowed name and a promise she made to herself in the dark. Now she's Aurora Castillo: tech mogul, untouchable CEO, and the last person Liam Ashford would ever suspect. He's spent fifteen years looking for the girl he failed. He doesn't know she's already found him. Every smile is calculated. Every conversation is a move. And every moment she lets herself feel something real is a threat to everything she's built. How do you finish destroying someone when you're the one falling apart? Decoding Aurora is not your typical billionaire romance. It is a story built on dramatic irony—where every smile has a second meaning, every alliance has a hidden cost, and the most dangerous thing a character can say is the truth, because no one is listening for it. Words mean the opposite of what they appear to mean. Kindness is a weapon. Patience is a strategy. And the most honest moment in any room is the one nobody else is meant to see. This is a world where everyone wants something, everyone is moving toward it, and nobody is showing their hand. Where deception and manipulation are not the exceptions—they are the rules of engagement. Where the line between revenge and feeling is thinner than it should be, and crossing it has consequences nobody planned for. Read carefully. The subtext is where the real story lives.
