Trevor had always gotten what he wanted, until he met Chelsey. Winning her love proved challenging, given her many admirers. Possessive and determined, he did everything to get her. Chelsey loathed his guts. In a bid to escape his grasp, she plunged into reckless endeavors, costing her child and risking her own life. Witnessing her resolve, Trevor finally relented with a huff, declaring, "Fine! If you're so determined to leave me, go ahead!" With the freedom she craved now in reach, Chelsey swiftly packed her things and turned to leave. Yet, Trevor grabbed her hand. With desperation flickering in his eyes, he pleaded one last time, "Can't you take me along?" After all the turmoil and pain, will Chelsey grant her possessive CEO husband a second chance?

Chapter 1 The Clandestine Relationship

In the grandeur of the Morris Mansion.

"Are you out of your mind? This is the Morris Mansion..."

Chelsey Howard found herself being pulled into the lounge by a man, her dress soon torn to shreds.

She trembled, trying to dodge his advances.

Her flushed cheeks only fueled the man's wildness.

"What's so scary?" He sneered, his satisfaction palpable as he watched her reaction. His actions grew more frenzied, and Chelsey found herself nearly slammed against the wall several times.

He didn't stop until he heard a voice greeting Kaden Morris nearby. Abruptly, he pinched Chelsey's waist, hastily ending their escapade.

He withdrew, leaving Chelsey, who had been standing there trembling, finally crumpled to the floor.

Luckily, a mirror stood before her, allowing Chelsey to tidy herself up. She gazed at her reflection, her face seemingly stained with rouge and her clothes in disarray. And there, standing behind her, was Trevor Morris, impeccably dressed and radiating a gentle, handsome allure.

He was Chelsey's cousin, and in reality, he was the head of the Morris family. He had a lot of power and always stood out, whether among the Morris family or outside it.

He was unlike Chelsey.

Chelsey's mother had remarried Cary Morris, Trevor's uncle, making Chelsey part of the Morris family.

But since Cary had passed away, the family had treated her and her mother, Gabriella Morris, with nothing but disdain.

The household staff whispered about Gabriella and Chelsey bringing bad luck to Cary.

The vast difference in their status had prevented Chelsey from ever daring to openly confess her love to Trevor.

Their relationship had been a tangled mess for the past two years.

On the day of her graduation, Chelsey had heard rumors of the Morris family arranging a marriage for Trevor. Upset, she had indulged in a few glasses of wine at the party.

To her surprise, Trevor had been at the bar that evening, and in her inebriated state, Chelsey had approached him, declaring her desire to be his woman.

Trevor had simply extinguished his cigarette and looked at her with eyes as fathomless and cold as an abyss, or a flame that threatened to consume her.

Thereafter, he had taken her away, and they had spent the entire night together, cementing her status as his lover.

Afterwards, Chelsey had remained apprehensive, knowing the peril of provoking Trevor.

Their relationship could not be made public, as Trevor would never get serious about her.

Yet, she loved him dearly and was reluctant to let him go.

They had been wrapped up with each other until now.

He was about to tie the knot and start his own family. Word was, Kaden had found a good match for him this time.

He didn't mention it because he believed that their relationship had to remain clandestine, leaving Chelsey forever in the shadows.

Was she his secret lover? Or was she merely his mistress?

If their relationship was doomed to be unequal, Chelsey refused to play the part of the meek accomplice any longer.

So, last weekend, she mustered the courage to message Trevor, wanting to end their illicit affair.

But he had not responded.

She went back to the Morris Mansion in the evening and ran into him. As she was passing by, he suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the lounge.

Chelsey's reverie was shattered by the ringing of her phone, Gabriella's name flashing on the screen.

Chelsey knew all too well that Gabriella had likely arranged another blind date for her.

Since her stepfather's death, her mother had been in an awkward position in the Morris family.

To Gabriella, Chelsey was her last hope to remain in the Morris family, to be respected, and to continue her extravagant lifestyle.

Chelsey hesitated to answer, fearing what her mother could say.

But the phone kept ringing. Trevor frowned impatiently. She had no choice but to answer.

The room was silent. Chelsey put the phone closer to her ear to keep Gabriella's voice from being heard.

"Didn't I tell you about that young talent? Have you forgotten? His family is not as powerful as the Morris family, but he's quite well-known in Kerton. He's the only son, and if you marry him, you'll live a good life! Rest well these next few days and look your best. You'll meet on Saturday. I'm sure he'll like you..."

Chelsey glanced at Trevor from the corner of her eye, feeling guilty, and quickly hung up, praying he hadn't heard.

"A blind date?" Trevor chuckled.

She gripped her phone tightly, her palms sweaty. He had heard everything.

Before she could respond, he spoke coldly. "You're in such a rush to find someone new before I even agree to end things? Am I dead to you, Chelsey?"

Her heart trembled. Summoning all her courage, she looked up at him. "But you're getting married, aren't you?"

Trevor didn't deny it but replied lightly, "You're overthinking it. It changes nothing."

Clenching her fists, she tried to steady herself. "But I don't want to be a mistress. Women only have a few years of youth. My mother says the guy has a good background. I should try dating him."

"A good background? How good should it be?" His tone was a mix of anger and mockery.

"Of course, he's not as great as you. But should I stay single forever?"

"Chelsey, you've learned to talk back. Impressive!" Trevor sneered.

With her head lowered, she fumbled with the buttons on her shirt, her fingers turning pale.

She had heard Kaden had chosen several women for him, and Trevor had picked the most beautiful one.

What right did he have to blame her now?

Chelsey murmured, "I made a mistake two years ago. I shouldn't have provoked you."

Trevor looked down at her, his voice cold. "Do you regret it?"

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to back down. "Yes, I regret it."

He chuckled, grabbed her chin and lifted it up. With his high status, he was the focus of everyone's attention. Now, he was silently mocking her.

"It's too late for regrets."

The atmosphere was so cold she could barely breathe.

Suddenly, the bell rang, shattering the icy tension.

It was Trevor's phone.

A woman's voice could be faintly heard on the other end.

Chelsey couldn't make out what she was saying, but Trevor remained silent throughout.

After hanging up, he opened the door and left, leaving Chelsey staring at the open door, lost in her own thoughts.

Was that his fiancée?

So, it was over between them, right?

Her heart ached, a lump forming in her throat.

"Let's get married," Mia declares, her voice trembling despite her defiant gaze into Stefan's guarded brown eyes. She needs this, even if he seems untouchable. Stefan raises a skeptical brow. "And why would I do that?" His voice was low, like a warning, and it made her shiver even though she tried not to show it. "We both have one thing in common," Mia continues, her gaze unwavering. "Shitty fathers. They want to take what's ours and give it to who they think deserves it." A pointed pause hangs in the air. "The only difference between us is that you're an illegitimate child, and I'm not." Stefan studies her, the heiress in her designer armor, the fire in her eyes that matches the burn of his own rage. "That's your solution? A wedding band as a weapon?" He said ignoring the part where she just referred to him as an illegitimate child. "The only weapon they won't see coming." She steps closer, close enough for him to catch the scent of her perfume, gunpowder and jasmine. "Our fathers stole our birthrights. The sole reason they betrayed us. We join forces, create our own empire that'll bring down theirs." A beat of silence. Then, Stefan's mouth curves into something sharp. "One condition," he murmurs, closing the distance. "No divorces. No surrenders. If we're doing this, it's for life" "Deal" Mia said without missing a beat. Her father wants to destroy her life. She wouldn't give him the pleasure, she would destroy her life as she seems fit. ................ Two shattered heirs. One deadly vow. A marriage built on revenge. Mia Meyers was born to rule her father's empire (so she thought), until he named his bastard son heir instead. Stefan Sterling knows the sting of betrayal too. His father discarded him like trash. Now the rivals' disgraced children have a poisonous proposal: Marry for vengeance. Crush their fathers' legacies. Never speak of divorce. Whoever cracks first loses everything. Can these two rivals, united by their vengeful hearts, pull off a marriage of convenience to reclaim what they believe is rightfully theirs? Or will their fathers' animosity, and their own complicated pasts tear their fragile alliance apart?

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

Too Late: The Spare Daughter Escapes Him

SHANA GRAY
4.3

I died on a Tuesday. It wasn't a quick death. It was slow, cold, and meticulously planned by the man who called himself my father. I was twenty years old. He needed my kidney to save my sister. The spare part for the golden child. I remember the blinding lights of the operating theater, the sterile smell of betrayal, and the phantom pain of a surgeon's scalpel carving into my flesh while my screams echoed unheard. I remember looking through the observation glass and seeing him-my father, Giovanni Vitiello, the Don of the Chicago Outfit-watching me die with the same detached expression he used when signing a death warrant. He chose her. He always chose her. And then, I woke up. Not in heaven. Not in hell. But in my own bed, a year before my scheduled execution. My body was whole, unscarred. The timeline had reset, a glitch in the cruel matrix of my existence, giving me a second chance I never asked for. This time, when my father handed me a one-way ticket to London-an exile disguised as a severance package-I didn't cry. I didn't beg. My heart, once a bleeding wound, was now a block of ice. He didn't know he was talking to a ghost. He didn't know I had already lived through his ultimate betrayal. He also didn't know that six months ago, during the city's brutal territory wars, I was the one who saved his most valuable asset. In a secret safe house, I stitched up the wounds of a blinded soldier, a man whose life hung by a thread. He never saw my face. He only knew my voice, the scent of vanilla, and the steady touch of my hands. He called me Sette. Seven. For the seven stitches I put in his shoulder. That man was Dante Moretti. The Ruthless Capo. The man my sister, Isabella, is now set to marry. She stole my story. She claimed my actions, my voice, my scent. And Dante, the man who could spot a lie from a mile away, believed the beautiful deception because he wanted it to be true. He wanted the golden girl to be his savior, not the invisible sister who was only ever good for her spare parts. So I took the ticket. In my past life, I fought them, and they silenced me on an operating table. This time, I will let them have their perfect, gilded lie. I will go to London. I will disappear. I will let Seraphina Vitiello die on that plane. But I will not be a victim. This time, I will not be the lamb led to slaughter. This time, from the shadows of my exile, I will be the one holding the match. And I will wait, with the patience of the dead, to watch their entire world burn. Because a ghost has nothing to lose, and a queen of ashes has an empire to gain.
