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.

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
