Introduction

Victoria, una abogada brillante y ambiciosa, cuya vida da un giro inesperado cuando acepta un matrimonio por contrato con el cautivador multimillonario, Sebastián. Al principio, parece un simple trato de negocios —un hijo a cambio de seguridad financiera—. Pero poco saben ellos que sus corazones se enredarán en una danza de deseos y secretos.

A medida que pasan los años dentro de su acuerdo de cinco años, Victoria y Sebastián se encuentran embarcándose en un viaje más allá de los límites de su contrato. En medio de confidencias compartidas y momentos robados, una conexión innegable florece entre ellos. Los muros que han construido para protegerse se desmoronan, exponiendo sus vulnerabilidades y encendiendo una tormenta de pasión.

Sin embargo, a medida que su amor se profundiza, Victoria lucha con emociones encontradas. Su corazón anhela a Sebastián, pero su deseo de independencia tira de su alma. La tensión aumenta cuando Charlotte, la esposa separada de Sebastián, reaparece, amenazando con deshacer los frágiles lazos que han tejido juntos. Y cuando Ava, la confidente de confianza de Victoria, orquesta su propia agenda, su mundo se tambalea al borde del caos.

Chapter 1

Capítulo 1

En la bulliciosa ciudad de Nueva York, Emily estaba en las nubes. Después de años de arduo trabajo, finalmente había conseguido el trabajo de sus sueños en uno de los bufetes de abogados más prestigiosos de la ciudad.

Mientras se sentaba en su nuevo escritorio, rodeada de pilas de documentos legales, Emily no podía evitar sentir un gran orgullo y satisfacción. Lo había logrado.

Pero su euforia duró poco cuando recibió una llamada de sus padres, quienes insistían en que se estableciera y se casara.

—No te estás haciendo más joven, Emily —dijo su madre—. Queremos nietos, ¿sabes?

Emily siempre había sentido la presión de sus padres para casarse y formar una familia, pero no estaba interesada en ese tipo de vida.

Estaba enfocada en su carrera y siempre había sentido que el matrimonio sería una distracción.

Pero sus padres no entendían eso. Querían que siguiera sus pasos y se convirtiera en una abogada exitosa y una esposa y madre devota.

Mientras Emily reflexionaba sobre la llamada de sus padres, su jefe, el Sr. Johnson, entró en su oficina.

—Emily, tengo un nuevo caso para ti —dijo, entregándole un expediente—. Es un caso de divorcio de alto perfil entre un empresario multimillonario y su esposa separada. El problema es que el acuerdo prenupcial establece que si no tiene un hijo dentro de los cinco años de matrimonio, perderá la mitad de su fortuna a favor de su esposa. ¿Y adivina qué? Han estado casados por cuatro años y medio.

Emily no podía creer lo que estaba escuchando.

—Entonces, ¿qué quieres que haga? —preguntó.

—Quiero que negocies un matrimonio por contrato entre nuestro cliente, Ethan, y una candidata adecuada que pueda darle un hijo en los próximos seis meses. El contrato durará cinco años, durante los cuales la pareja vivirá junta, tendrá un hijo y luego se separarán. Ethan pagará a la candidata una suma considerable de dinero por sus servicios y, a cambio, él podrá conservar su fortuna.

Emily estaba sorprendida por la propuesta. Nunca había oído hablar de algo así antes.

—¿Entonces quieres que encuentre a una mujer que se case con un completo desconocido y tenga un hijo con él solo por el dinero? —preguntó.

—Piensa en ello como un acuerdo comercial —respondió el Sr. Johnson—. Nuestro cliente es un hombre rico que quiere proteger sus bienes. No está interesado en el amor o el romance. Solo quiere asegurar su futuro. Y en cuanto a la candidata, será bien compensada por su tiempo y esfuerzo. Es una situación en la que ambos ganan.

Emily no estaba segura de qué pensar sobre la propuesta.

Por un lado, parecía una idea loca.

Por otro lado, estaba ahogada en préstamos estudiantiles y necesitaba desesperadamente el dinero. No sabía qué hacer.

Mientras reflexionaba sobre la oferta, su mejor amiga y colega, Sarah, entró en su oficina.

—Hola, ¿qué pasa? —preguntó Sarah, notando el expediente en la mano de Emily.

Emily dudó antes de contarle a Sarah sobre la propuesta de matrimonio por contrato. Los ojos de Sarah se abrieron de par en par mientras Emily explicaba la situación.

—Eso es una locura —dijo Sarah—. No hay manera de que debas hacer eso.

—Pero Sarah, necesito el dinero —dijo Emily—. Estoy ahogada en deudas. Y además, es solo un acuerdo comercial. No es como si me casara por amor ni nada.

—Pero Emily, ¿qué pasa con tus principios? —preguntó Sarah—. ¿Qué pasa con tu dignidad? No puedes simplemente venderte así.

Emily no sabía qué decir. Sabía que Sarah tenía razón, pero también sabía que necesitaba el dinero. Estaba dividida entre sus principios y su situación financiera.

Emily pasó los siguientes días reflexionando sobre la propuesta de matrimonio por contrato.

No podía sacudirse la sensación de que estaba mal, pero al mismo tiempo, necesitaba desesperadamente el dinero.

Decidió investigar sobre los matrimonios por contrato y descubrió que eran más comunes de lo que había pensado.

También aprendió que muchas mujeres habían entrado en tales matrimonios por razones financieras.

Algunas estaban luchando para llegar a fin de mes, mientras que otras intentaban pagar deudas o ahorrar para la educación de sus hijos.

Emily se dio cuenta de que no estaba sola en su situación y que había muchas mujeres que estaban en una situación similar.

Discutió la propuesta con Sarah nuevamente, quien seguía siendo escéptica. Pero Emily había tomado una decisión. Iba a encontrar una candidata adecuada para el matrimonio por contrato.

Comenzó buscando en redes sociales y sitios de citas en línea, buscando mujeres que cumplieran con los criterios.

Contactó a varias candidatas, explicándoles la propuesta y ofreciéndoles la oportunidad de reunirse con Ethan y discutir los términos del contrato. Pero la mayoría de ellas eran escépticas o rechazaban la oferta de plano.

Emily estaba empezando a perder la esperanza cuando recibió un correo electrónico de una mujer llamada Melissa.

Melissa era una madre soltera que estaba luchando para llegar a fin de mes. Recientemente había perdido su trabajo y enfrentaba el desalojo de su apartamento. Estaba desesperada por dinero y estaba dispuesta a considerar la propuesta de matrimonio por contrato.

Emily organizó una reunión entre Melissa y Ethan, y se llevaron bien de inmediato. Ethan era un hombre encantador y apuesto que hizo que Melissa se sintiera cómoda y a gusto. Discutieron los términos del contrato, y Melissa aceptó la propuesta.

Emily se sintió aliviada de haber encontrado una candidata adecuada, pero no podía evitar sentirse culpable por lo que había hecho.

Sabía que había explotado la desesperación de Melissa para obtener una ganancia financiera, y eso pesaba mucho en su conciencia.

Emily estaba tan avergonzada que tuvo que suplicar a Sarah que la cubriera y pretendiera ser la abogada.

Al principio, todo fue bien. Melissa y Ethan se llevaban bien y parecían tener una conexión genuina.

Emily (Sarah) los visitaba regularmente para asegurarse de que todo iba según lo planeado. Se sintió aliviada al ver que Melissa estaba feliz y contenta.

Pero con el tiempo, Emily comenzó a notar grietas en la relación.

Melissa empezó a sentir que solo era un medio para un fin para Ethan, y comenzó a resentirlo por ello.

Ethan, por otro lado, se estaba volviendo cada vez más distante y frío, como si realmente no le importara Melissa en absoluto.

Emily intentó intervenir, pero estaba claro que el matrimonio por contrato no iba a funcionar para ambas partes.

Melissa estaba luchando por aceptar el hecho de que esencialmente estaba siendo pagada para ser una madre sustituta, mientras que Ethan comenzaba a sentirse atrapado por el arreglo.

Ethan y Melissa decidieron poner fin a todo y no continuar con ello.

Ethan cambió los términos y decidió que se casaría con quien le trajeran a continuación.

—Estoy harto de intentarlo, solo tráiganme a quien sea —dijo Ethan.

Pasaron unos días, y Emily no podía dejar de pensar en la propuesta.

Nunca había sido una persona que tomara riesgos, pero no podía sacudirse la idea de la gran suma de dinero que recibiría si aceptaba el matrimonio por contrato.

Cuanto más lo pensaba, más se convencía de que solo era una transacción comercial y que no comprometería sus principios.

Finalmente, Emily tomó una decisión. Llamó al Sr. Johnson y le dijo que aceptaba. Él estaba encantado y dijo que enviaría los detalles del contrato a su oficina.

Cuando Emily recibió el contrato, se sorprendió por la jerga legal y las numerosas cláusulas.

Lo leyó detenidamente, asegurándose de entender cada palabra, pero todo parecía demasiado bueno para ser verdad.

Ethan le ofrecía una gran suma de dinero, un lujoso apartamento en la ciudad e incluso un coche nuevo.

Emily firmó el contrato, sintiendo una mezcla de emoción y aprensión.

No sabía qué le deparaba el futuro, pero tenía la esperanza de que todo saldría bien.

Al día siguiente, Emily conoció a Ethan por primera vez.

Era alto, moreno y apuesto, con penetrantes ojos azules y una mandíbula cincelada.

Emily no pudo evitar sentirse un poco intimidada por él, pero trató de mantener una actitud valiente.

—Emily, es un placer finalmente conocerte —dijo Ethan, extendiendo su mano.

—Igualmente —respondió Emily, estrechando su mano.

Ethan era encantador y carismático, y tenía una manera de hacer que Emily se sintiera a gusto.

Charlaron un rato, discutiendo los detalles del contrato y lo que se esperaba de ambos.

—Pareces una mujer inteligente, Emily —dijo Ethan—. Estoy seguro de que podremos hacer que esto funcione.

Emily asintió, todavía un poco nerviosa. No podía creer que realmente estuviera haciendo esto, pero ya era demasiado tarde para echarse atrás.

Durante las siguientes semanas, Emily y Ethan pasaron mucho tiempo juntos, conociéndose y preparándose para su nueva vida juntos.

Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
Aiden
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.
But one message had changed everything.
One night on ObeyNet, a stranger with attitude and submission tangled in his words.
And when I saw Noah in person—his fire, his fear, that ache to be seen—
I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.
But I was already testing him. Pushing him.
Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

“You think I’d share my mate? Just stand by and watch while you fuck another woman and have her kids?”
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.

Well, here goes everything.

Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.

He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.
