The One Night Mistake
Romance Emily Wilson's life was a ticking time bomb, and she knew it. One fateful night with billionaire CEO Alexander "Lex" Thompson had left her with a secret that could destroy everything. Pregnant and alone, she'd made a desperate choice - hiding the truth from her new partner, Jack, and raising their child together.
But the past refused to stay buried. Lex's return sent Emily's world into a tailspin. She received a chilling message - "I know your secret" - and knew she had to act fast. That's when she turned to Ryan, a charismatic operative with his own reasons for wanting Lex brought down.
Together, they hatched a plan to take down Lex and shatter the chains of his blackmail. But Emily had no idea that Ryan was leading a double life - working undercover for Lex, feeding him intel, and manipulating her every move.
As the stakes grew higher, Emily's relationships began to fray. Her partnership with Jack, once strong and supportive, now felt like a fragile thread, threatening to snap at any moment. Her medical practice suffered, too, as the weight of her secrets bore down on her.
She knew she couldn't keep her secret hidden forever, but the thought of revealing the truth was paralyzing. Lex's presence loomed larger, his influence seeping into every aspect of Emily's life like a slow-moving poison. She suspected he was manipulating those around her, using his vast resources to turn her loved ones against her.
With Ryan's betrayal lurking in the shadows, Emily's fate hung in the balance. Would she be able to shield her family from the wrath of her past, or would the truth destroy everything she held dear? The clock was ticking, and Emily's world was about to implode.
As she navigated this treacherous landscape, Emily couldn't shake the feeling that she was trapped in a never-ending nightmare. Every move she made seemed to lead her further down the rabbit hole, with no escape in sight.
And then, just when she thought things couldn't get any worse, Emily discovered a shocking truth - Ryan's betrayal was just the tip of the iceberg. Lex had been playing a long game, manipulating events from behind the scenes to bring Emily to her knees.
With her world crumbling around her, Emily knew she had to act fast. She couldn't let Lex win, no matter the cost. Summoning every last ounce of strength and determination, she launched a final, desperate bid to take him down.
But as the dust settled, Emily realized the truth was far more complex than ever imagined. Lex's motivations were shrouded in mystery, and Ryan's betrayal was just one piece of a larger puzzle.
In the end, Emily emerged scarred but stronger, her secrets laid bare and her heart forever changed. She knew that she'd never be able to go back to the way things were before, but she was determined to forge a new path, one that would lead her to redemption and forgiveness. You might like
Passions Endure Fiercely
AAAngels It was June, at the crack of dawn, a beautiful woman woke up with pains wracking her body and a splitting headache in a presidential suite of a five-star hotel, somewhere in the capital city, Nordeny.
She felt utterly exhausted. Her head was killing her. It was as if she had woken up in a stranger's body. The young woman was Anya MacMillan. She forced her eyes open and pushed herself up. The sight before her baffled her.
A huge bed. Messy sheets with streaks of dried dubious fluids stained. Clothes strewn across the bed and the floor. Clothes that belonged to her and a man.
Anya jerked in shock. She whipped her head around and stared at the other side of the bed.
On the huge and messy bed slept the man whom she had been secretly in love with forever. Evan Welton, the most sought-after bachelor in the capital city. The Adonis of Nordeny.
Exhaustion lined his handsome face. His eyes were tightly shut. He showed no signs of waking up. He was completely naked, His finely sculpted form laid completely bare to Anya's eyes.
The pounding in Anya's head worsened.
Her breathing quickened. Did she...had she...with Evan...last night?
Anya shoved aside the splitting pain in her head and forced herself to recall what had happened last night.
Last night...she remembered that she had paid a visit to her stepmother.
What had happened after that?
Her memories were a blur. Her head felt heavy and her neck was killing her. Amid the fog clouding her head, snippets of memories flashed. She remembered heated touches, naked flesh and then some...
There was no doubt about it. They had sex.
It must be her stepmother. Her stepmother must have drugged them! Anya couldn't think of anyone else who would do something so vicious to her!
Anya felt an alarm sound off in her head. 'She had to get out of here,' she thought. She tried to clamber out of bed immediately. She knew exactly who Evan Welton was.
The man set to inherit the vast fortunes of the wealthiest family in Nordeny and the bachelor whom every young woman from any respectable family sought to marry. A man who loathed the advances of women he didn't know. Angering him would mean death.
Anya imagined the possibility of Evan waking up right now. What would he think when he saw the mess? There was no way she could talk her way out of this one.
She had been secretly in love with the man since she had been a girl. She didn't want the man to detest her.
Anya scrambled to get out of bed. Suddenly, something shot towards her from the other side of the bed. He wrapped himself around her slender waist and yanking her back forcefully. The next moment, she was trapped under someone. She heard a husky male voice, rough with anger and through a clenched jaw. "Anya MacMillan...how dare you drug me..."
Anya's mind cleared up. The fog that had clouded her head dispelled immediately. She shook her head frantically. "I didn't do it! It wasn't me..."
"You didn't? How did you end up in my bed then?" Evan detested such shameless and stealthy means. His fingers tightened around Anya's pale arms. His strong grip nearly crushed her fragile bones.
Pain spiked down Anya's arms. Her eyes reddened as she repeated herself.
Evan wasn't interested in listening to her denials. In his view, she was just another despicable, loose woman who drugged him so that she could sleep with him. He released his grip on her and shoved her aside roughly. Then, he got out of bed and began to dress himself. "I don't want to see you again. Ever. Appear in my sight again and you're dead."
The young man pulled on the rest of his clothes angrily.
It was then that Sydney, Anya's stepsister, burst into the room suddenly. The sight of the mess in the room sent her into an instant rage. She had thought that the drug would make them pa** out and put up a deception of them having had sex.
They weren't supposed to actually sleep with each other! Begin Again

Liam Anderson, the heir to the biggest logistics company in Rock Union, is the perfect rebound guy.

Eden is no longer the naive girl she was when she jumped into Liam's bed; she now has a secret to protect at all costs. Liam is determined to get everything Eden stole from him, and it's not just his shirt.
