Introduction
The year I loved Edward the most, I was envied by everyone in Copper Valley.
They called me the priceless treasure in the palms of my father and my husband.
I was the most precious pregnant woman in the whole Copper Valley.
But before Christmas, when I went to give my husband a surprise, I saw him kissing the cheek of Angela, the daughter of my father's lover.
His friends praised his high-handed means, athat he could actually persuade me to have a fake marriage with him.
"Fake marriage?" I frowned.
Edward told them, "Lucy has everything. Angela has been a bastard for more than twenty years. I should compensate."
I left the club in despair and then replied to the mysterious text message on my phone.
[I can accept you as the nominal father of my child.]

Chapter 1
On Christmas Eve, snow fell lazily over Copper Valley.
Inside the Patterson Family villa, servants were carefully hanging the last golden star on the Christmas tree.
"Mrs. Parker, Mr. Parker will be over the moon when he sees the gift you prepared yourself," the nanny Connie said with envy in her eyes. "Everyone in Copper Valley knows that Mr. Parker and Mr. Patterson spoil you like you're their most precious treasure."
I stroked the delicate, deep blue velvet box in my hands. Inside lay an antique watch I'd spent three months tracking down, along with a prenatal checkup report.
I planned to give the child's father a surprise.
To tell him the baby was doing well, growing strong, and would soon meet us.
My phone buzzed. Facebook was full of friends' wishes: "Merry Christmas, Lucy, another day of being spoiled by Edward!"
I smiled, replied "Merry Christmas," then grabbed my car keys and drove to the Blooming Flowers Club without telling anyone.
Edward said he had business tonight and wouldn't be back soon.
But I couldn't wait any longer—couldn't wait to show him what our child looked like now.
On the VIP terrace at the top floor of the club, the cold wind cut through the air.
I pulled my coat tighter. Just as I turned the corner, my feet seemed nailed to the ground.
Under the dim wall lamp, the man I'd loved for three years was pressing a woman against the railing.
His slender fingers ran through the woman's hair as they kissed passionately, with an attitude even more cherishing than when he was with me.
The woman turned her face slightly. In the lamplight, I saw clearly who it was—Angela.
Angela, the daughter of Audrey, the mistress who drove my mother to her death. My half-sister!
Blood rushed to my head instantly. The velvet box in my hands felt burning hot.
Just as I was about to rush out and confront them, the private room door opened. Several of Edward's childhood friends walked out, cigarettes in hand, completely unsurprised by the scene.
"Well, well, Mr. Parker, you really know how to play the game." His friend Leon blew out a smoke ring, his eyes suggestively moving between the two. "Mr. Patterson just brought Audrey into the family, and you've already got Angela under your wing. This mother-daughter duo from the Patterson family—both taken by you. We're truly envious of this good fortune, man."
Angela shyly buried herself in Edward's arms, not daring to look up.
Edward didn't push her away. Instead, he smiled indulgently, his voice carrying a tenderness I'd never heard before. "Angela had a rough time abroad. Naturally, I need to take extra care of her."
Another person sighed. "Bro, you're something else. Last time I saw Lucy, you'd kissed her until she was practically dizzy. No wonder you got her pregnant so quickly without having to take responsibility."
"Of course, Edward's that good," another person lowered his voice, his tone full of mockery. "But you're really bold, setting up this kind of scheme to help Angela get back the Patterson Family fortune."
"Who would've thought that last year's wedding of the century in Copper Valley was actually a fake marriage between you and that naive fool Lucy?"
"Lucy looks down on illegitimate daughters the most, yet her own child is about to become illegitimate too."
That sentence was colder than the flying snow, instantly freezing my heartbeat.
Fake marriage?
I gripped the gift in my hands, my whole body ice-cold.
What does it mean... fake marriage?

Accidentally Yours
Completed · Merffy Kizzmet
“Who the hell are you and why are you tied to my bed?”
Lola Marlowe’s morning-after is a disaster. She’s got a killer hangover, zero memory of Burning Man, and a half-naked, sculpted stranger tied to her bed with her own lavender silk ropes. To make matters infinitely worse, the furious (and frustratingly handsome) “accidental hostage” is Enzo Marchesi, Vegas’s most notorious mafia Don.
For Enzo, this is the ultimate security breach. But the fiery, unpredictable tattoo artist is the most intriguing thing to happen to him in years. To stop his crew from “neutralizing” the threat, he makes an impulsive claim: she’s his fiancée.
Thrust into a world of high-stakes lies and feral attraction, they must navigate rival families and their own explosive chemistry.
One wrong move sparked it. Now neither of them wants out.

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
Completed · Lily
"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

Ongoing · Louisa
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"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."

They thought they could destroy me. They were wrong.
My name is Aria Harper, and I just caught my fiancé Ethan screwing my stepsister Scarlett in our bed. While my world crumbled, they were planning to steal everything—my inheritance, my mother's legacy, even the company that should be mine.
But I'm not the naive girl they think I am.
Enter Devon Kane—eleven years older, dangerously powerful, and exactly the weapon I need. One month. One secret deal. Use his influence to save my company while I uncover the truth about my mother Elizabeth's "death" and the fortune they stole from me.
The plan was simple: fake my engagement, seduce information from my enemies, and walk away clean.
What I didn't expect? This insomniac billionaire who can only sleep when I'm in his arms. What he didn't expect? That his convenient arrangement would become his obsession.
In daylight, he's a master of indifference—his gaze sliding past me like I don't exist. But when darkness falls, he's pushing up my lace dress, his hands claiming my breasts through the sheer material, his mouth finding the small mole on my collarbone.
"That's it," he breathes against my skin, voice strained and gravelly. "God, you feel amazing."
Now the lines are blurred, the stakes are higher, and everyone who betrayed me is about to learn what happens when you underestimate Aria Harper.
Revenge never felt so good.

"You want my forgiveness?" he asked, my voice dropping to a dangerous timbre.
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
