Prelude Ryan Chileshe is the most arrogant man you will ever meet, but he is also a walking god and sadly he is not just an ordinary Chileshe. He is the eldest of the Chileshe Siblings of Chileshe Fashion Media. His father started the company when he was just a boy, he wanted to build a legacy for his children and he did just that, lucky for him the woman he married shared the same dream. People die; but Ryan didn't know which one was worse, the loss that the death came with or the birth it brought forth. All he knew is that his life had been shaken to the very brim and would never be the same again. He had lost the woman he once loved, and just when he was sure the pieces were aligning, the joke was back on him. As if that wasn't enough, the world expected him to move on with his life. And pretend as if he wasn't hurt, as if it would fall into place again like the first time. The circus was becoming way too familiar and each time he was the clown. Ryan Chileshe might be everything men fear and women want, but in his circus, he is a clown.

The Joker Chapter 1 One

The heavy snoring on my side is what wakes me up, for a minute I almost freeze thinking it's a tractor in the house and then I remember – I picked up a girl from the bar and brought her home. I have reached a level where I stopped being disgusted with myself because this is the life I chose, I might as well just enjoy it whilst doing so.

I get out of bed and walk to the bathroom, I don't know what the time is but the throbbing headache needs a pain killer and if I don't get one I might just lose my mind.

After peeing, brushing my teeth and taking a quick bath, I wear something decent and walk out of my room. I know my phone is somewhere in the living room because it's rear that I sleep with it when drunk.

Robin is looking at her laptop when I get down the stairs.

'Shit.' I curse making her look up to me

'Good morning to you too Mr. Chileshe.'

'Good morning Rob.' I say

I have always shortened her name and though she hated her growing up, she had no choice but to get accustomed to it.

'Going somewhere?' she asks not looking at me

'I need Ibuprofen, I have a headache from hell.'

'I put some on the kitchen counter for you.' She says

'Thank you.'

I walk to the kitchen and true to her word she has put the pack of medicine there, next to it is an unopened bottle of water and my phone.

I take two tablets and drink before switching on my phone. I honestly hate her seeing me like this but I had no idea she was back home from school.

Robin is the youngest amongst us, Jaelynn is second whilst I am the first. Our mother died when I was twelve then dad died fourteen years after her, after her death he dedicated his time to the company and it was in rare cases that we felt his presence. I was forced to grow up faster than my age because I had to take up the role of a father and lucky for me my sisters turned out okay. Jaelynn is a doctor and married to an amazing man. They have a child on the way. Robin is in her third year studying law at the university of Zambia whilst I am an accountant by profession. My two sisters have refused to ever work in the company because they feel like that is the place that robbed us of our father whilst I still labor there because despite his faults he loved it and I can't let his legacy die. We all have huge shares and if one of us decided to stop working today, we would still live a million years later depending on the shares. But none of us was raised that way.

'I am going to the office.' I say back in the living room

She stops what she is doing to look at me for the first time.

'And the bimbo in your bed?'

I laugh, it's funny.

'You know that wasn't supposed to be funny right?'

'I know, I am sorry.'

She rolls her eyes.

'Give her some money or something when she wakes up.'

She eyes me, that 'are you stupid' kind of eye.

'Rob I wouldn't know what to do with her when she wakes up and besides I need to be at the office.'

'Ryan we have talked about this times without number, you just can't bring girls home and expect me to clean up your mess.'

'I swear this is the last time.'

She shakes her head

'You said that two weeks ago.'

'I am sorry.'

'We both know you are not and after you pick up your ego you will do it again.'

I sigh, I hate how Robin is never scared of talking to me. She is six years younger than me and yet she is the one who knows how to put me in my place, Lynn on the other hand has always been scared of me. And I don't blame her, I gave her a hard time growing up because I didn't want her to ruin her future.

'You are turning thirty in a few months, it's time to grow.' She sys going back to her laptop

'When are you going back to school?' I ask instead

She laughs

'You are the same monster who doesn't want me to have my own apartment, you are the same one who drives in the middle of the night to pick me up when I sleep out. Even Lynn and her husband think I hate them because you are overly protective.'

I scratch my head, she has a point but I can't allow her to know that I think she is telling the truth.

'I promise to do better.'

'And find a girl to build a stable relationship with, you will get sick one of these days.'

'I use protection.'

'Ryan please leave, I won't be punished by hearing about your sexual adventures.'

I laugh, going to her then kissing her cheek full.

'I love you.'

'Like you have a choice.' she responds before laughing

I grab the nearest scatter pillow and hit her.

'You didn't.' she says standing up from her sit and I have to run so she doesn't do anything crazy.

I get into my car and drive off, honestly I would have rather stayed home and gotten some sleep but I don't want to be there when the girl in my bed wakes up. Well that isn't even my bedroom, I use it each time when I take a girl home. No girl has ever entered my bedroom except my sisters and the house help.

I get to the office and immediately people start moving about trying to find something to do – just anything. That is the kind of man I am, I command power wherever I go and I don't tolerate nonsense in the business world.

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."
