Ema thought she knew what she wanted. A calm life, a simple love, and a boyfriend who cared for her. But everything changed the day Shedrack walked back into her life. He wasn't rich. He wasn't perfect. But his presence shook her heart in ways she couldn't explain. Suddenly, Ema found herself caught between two different kinds of love: The safe love she already had... And the intense love she never expected. As secrets grow, jealousy rises, and emotions collide, Ema must choose between the boy who has always been there for her and the one who makes her feel alive again. But every choice comes with a price. And someone's heart will break before the truth comes out. A powerful story of love, betrayal, and the painful

THE BOYFRIEND BETWEEN US Chapter 1 WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE

Ema balanced the tray of freshly arranged wigs on her arm as she stepped out of the small shop. The sun was already high, stretching across the busy streets of Enugu like a spotlight that refused to move. She blinked against the brightness and adjusted the strap of her handbag. "Today has to be a good day, " she to herself. "It just had to."

Her phone buzzed again.

Chuka.

For the fourth time this morning.

She sighed before picking up the call.

"No vex, baby," she said softly. "Network has been bad."

"So you don't pick up my calls because of the network?" Chuka repeated, his voice already carrying that familiar sharpness. "Ema, I'm not one of those boys you ignore. You hear me?"

Ema swallowed. "I didn't ignore you. I'm heading to the delivery point now. I told you yesterday, na."

Chuka clicked his tongue. "How much do you get now? Have you sold the frontal I bought for you?"

Ema pressed her lips together. "I'm trying, babe. Business dey slow, small..."

"I invested in your life, Ema," he reminded her, as if she needed reminding. "You know how much I put into that your wig hustle? So try dey serious."

"I'm serious," she whispered.

"Good. Because I don't have the strength to drag with you today. I'll come see you later. And dress well, you hear me? You're my babe. You represent me."

The line went dead.

Ema stared at her screen for a moment, chest tight.

She loved Chuka... or maybe she thought she did. Before the possessiveness. Before the reminders of what he had done for her. Before the subtle threats hidden inside sweet words.

She took a deep breath and kept walking.

Her life wasn't terrible. It was just... stuck.

Every plan she had now was tied to what someone else had done for her. Every decision she made, she had to think of Chuka first.

She wanted more. She wanted freedom. She wanted a future she controlled.

But wanting and receiving were two different things.

Ema reached the main junction and waited for a keke. As she stood there, sweaty and impatient, a black SUV sped past her, splashing a wave of muddy water onto her white dress.

She gasped.

"Jesus!"

The car slowed. The tinted window rolled down halfway.

A deep, calm voice spoke.

"I'm so sorry. Are you alright?"

Ema wiped the wetness from her arm and looked up.

She couldn't see his full face yet only the silhouette of a man in designer shades, his hair perfectly trimmed, his wristwatch gleaming like it cost more than her entire shop.

Something about him... presence, aura, authority... made her heart skip.

The man's voice carried a gentle command.

"Let me drop you off. You can't go around like that."

Ema blinked, confused for a second.

She didn't know this stranger.

She didn't know his world.

She didn't even know his name.

But one thing was clear:

Her life had just brushed against something far bigger than she was prepared for.

She shook her head quickly.

"No, thank you, sir. I'll manage."

He paused, studying her through the dark glass.

"Alright," he said finally. "But take care of yourself."

The window went up. The car pulled away slowly.

Ema stood frozen as the SUV disappeared into the traffic.

She didn't know she had just spoken to Shedrack Nwokocha, one of the youngest and richest CEOs in the country.

She didn't know her small, simple life had just collided with the beginning of something bigger.

She didn't know fate had just taken note of her name.

All she knew was... her heart was beating too fast.

And her white dress was ruined.

The Billionaire's Cold And Bitter Betrayal

Clara Bennett

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "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.

The Surgeon's Vow: Healing My Billionaire Husband

I sat in the gray, airless room of the New York State Department of Corrections, my knuckles white as the Warden delivered the news. "Parole denied." My father, Howard Sterling, had forged new evidence of financial crimes to keep me behind bars. He walked into the room, smelling of expensive cologne, and tossed a black folder onto the steel table. It was a marriage contract for Lucas Kensington, a billionaire currently lying in a vegetative state in the ICU. "Sign it. You walk out today." I laughed at the idea of being sold to a "corpse" until Howard slid a grainy photo toward me. It showed a toddler with a crescent-moon birthmark—the son Howard told me had died in an incubator five years ago. He smiled and told me the boy's safety depended entirely on my cooperation. I was thrust into the Kensington estate, where the family treated me like a "drowned rat." They dressed me in mothball-scented rags and mocked my status, unaware that I was monitoring their every move. I watched the cousin, Julian, openly waiting for Lucas to die to inherit the empire, while the doctors prepared to sign the death certificate. I didn't understand why my father would lie about my son’s death for years, or what kind of monsters would use a child as a bargaining chip. The injustice of it burned in my chest as I realized I was just a pawn in a game of old money and blood. As the monitors began to flatline and the family started to celebrate their inheritance, I locked the door and reached into the hem of my dress. I pulled out the sharpened silver wires I’d fashioned in the prison workshop. They thought they bought a submissive convict, but they actually invited "The Saint"—the world’s most dangerous underground surgeon—into their home. "Wake up, Lucas. You owe me a life." I wasn't there to be a bride; I was there to wake the dead and burn their empire to the ground.
