King Dean

[09:47, 21/11/2024] .: The Billionaire's Secret Desire Alexandra Matthews always believed her life was ordinary-quiet, uneventful, and free from the dangerous world of wealth and power. But everything changes the day she discovers her late mother's mysterious necklace, a legacy passed down through generations, hiding secrets that were never meant to be uncovered. This seemingly simple piece of jewelry is the key to a web of intrigue, and it pulls Alexandra into a dangerous world she's ill-prepared for. When ruthless billionaire Luca Devereux enters the picture, everything Alexandra thought she knew about her mother and her own life comes into question. Luca, with his ice-cold exterior and dark past, is not just a businessman. He's a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. And what he wants is the necklace-and the power it holds. As Alexandra races to piece together the puzzle her mother left behind, she is drawn deeper into Luca's world. There's more at stake than just a family heirloom-there are dangerous people after her, and Luca might just be the only person who can protect her. But can she trust him? Or is he just using her for his own gain? Caught between a man who seems to care for her and the powerful forces closing in, Alexandra is torn between passion and fear. The deeper she delves into the mystery, the more dangerous it becomes, and the more she realizes that the people she thought she could trust may not have her best interests at heart. The very man who could save her might be the one who is most dangerous of all. As secrets unravel and betrayals surface, Alexandra finds herself questioning her choices. With every twist and turn, the stakes get higher, and the line between love and danger blurs. Will she survive the deadly game she's been thrust into, or will Luca's secret desire lead them both into a path from which there's no return? In this gripping billionaire romance, passion, power, and betrayal collide, and no one is safe from the consequences of the secrets that bind them together. [13:10, 21/11/2024] .: The night air was eerily still as Alexandra crouched in the shadows, her eyes fixed on the towering gates of the mansion. The wrought-iron fence seemed to stretch endlessly, the imposing structure looming like a fortress in the darkness. Every instinct in her body screamed at her to run, but she clenched her fists, forcing herself to focus. Damien was in there. He had to be. Lily knelt beside her, her voice barely above a whisper. "We'll take the east side. Callum will loop around to the west. Once we're inside, we regroup. Stick to the plan." Alexandra nodded, her heart pounding like a drumbeat in her chest. The plan was simple: infiltrate, locate Damien, and get out before anyone noticed. But simplicity didn't guarantee success, and the stakes were impossibly high. Callum adjusted the earpiece in his ear and gave them a curt nod. "Radio silence unless absolutely necessary. If something goes wrong, we retreat. Understood?" Alexandra swallowed hard. "Understood." The group moved swiftly and silently, each step calculated and deliberate. Alexandra and Lily approached the east gate, where Lily worked quickly to disable the security system. The faint hum of electricity ceased, and the gate clicked open with a soft metallic groan. They slipped through the gap, their bodies pressed low to the ground as they darted toward the cover of the hedges. The mansion loomed closer, its windows dark and uninviting. "This place gives me the creeps," Lily murmured, glancing over her shoulder. Alexandra didn't respond. Her focus was fixed on the task ahead, every fiber of her being tuned to the possibility of finding Damien. As they reached the side of the mansion, Lily pulled out a small device, placing it against the nearest window. The glass vibrated faintly before cracking with a barely audible pop. Lily pushed the broken pane inward and motioned for Alexandra to follow her inside. The room they entered was cold and empty, its sparse furnishings cloaked in dust. Shadows danced across the walls, and the faint scent of mildew hung in the air. "We're in," Lily whispered into her comm. Callum's voice crackled softly in reply. "Good. Proceed carefully. I'm on the west side now. We'll meet in the central corridor." Lily nodded and gestured for Alexandra to stay close as they crept through the room and into a narrow hallway. The air felt heavier here, each step echoing faintly against the marble floors. Alexandra's nerves were on edge, every sound magnified in the oppressive silence. Her thoughts drifted to Damien-where he might be, what he might be enduring. The image of his face, bruised and battered, flashed in her mind, and her determination hardened. They passed through a series of hallways, each one more labyrinthine than the last. The mansion was a maze, its dark corners and endless doors concealing whatever secrets it held.

"And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

At my best friend's birthday party, I drank tainted wine and passed out. When I woke up, I heard the doctor say it could cause severe nerve damage. I teased my fiancé Cayden Hewitt, asking who I was and where I was. He hesitated, staring at me, then called my rival Liam Hewitt. "You're Julia. He's your fiancé. You're getting married soon." I froze, thinking he was joking too. My best friend, Vivian Green, slipped her arm through Cayden's, looking every bit like a couple in love. Eventually, I was about to marry Liam. But Cayden, with eyes red from emotion, stood in front of the car to stop it, pleading, "Julia, don't marry him. I've realized I can't let you go."

For three years, I documented the slow death of my marriage in a black journal. It was my 100-point divorce plan: for every time my husband, Blake, chose his first love, Ariana, over me, I deducted points. When the score hit zero, I would leave. The final points vanished the night he left me bleeding out from a car crash. I was eight weeks pregnant with the child we had prayed for. In the ER, the nurses frantically called him-the star surgeon of the very hospital I was dying in. "Dr. Santos, we have a Jane Doe, O-negative, bleeding out. She's pregnant, and we're about to lose them both. We need you to authorize an emergency blood transfer." His voice came over the speaker, cold and impatient. "I can't. My priority is Miss Whitfield. Do what you can for the patient, but I can't divert anything right now." He hung up. He condemned his own child to death to ensure his ex-girlfriend had resources on standby after a minor procedure.

Until fake kisses start to feel real. Now Savannah's torn between keeping up the act... or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.

My husband handed me divorce papers on our anniversary. It was a "temporary maneuver," he said, to appease his pregnant mistress until she gave birth to his heir. Then he left me to die in a storm and forced me to give my blood to save her, threatening my parents' graves when I refused. He called me a "blood bag" and expected me to wait patiently for his return. He thought he knew his practical, loving wife. He was about to meet the queen who would take his crown, his company, and his entire world.

Five years ago, Bettina Rowe was wounded in her abdomen to save Asher Lambert, which caused her not to get pregnant. Asher had told her that he would never want a baby. But he eventually entertained the idea of surrogacy. He chose Betsy Sugden, a college student who resembled Bettina, to give birth to his baby. Asher didn't know that Bettina had already decided to divorce him when he brought up that idea.

Her marriage wasn't perfect. Infact, it wasn't anywhere close to being perfect. But she always had hope and tried to make things work. She had expected it to last forever, no matter how bad it was. But her hope came shattering down when he dropped the divorce papers on the table right in front of her. "Sign them." He had said coldly. That was five years ago.

Would he be able to accomplish his mission of making Alexandra fall in love with him again? Would Alexandra give in to this man who had once broken her heart and all the promises he made to her before? Would Jace and Jade accept their unknown father back?

But when an opportunity presents itself in the form of an incredibly sexy tattooed man, who was she to say no? Laura doesn't do relationships, or dates, or anything related to the subject.
