What love can not do Chapter 1 Birthday bombshell

Chapter 1

Natalie pov

They tried waking me up after I slumped and passed out but they couldn't, I already thought I had given up the ghost until after 5 good hours I regained consciousness

And guess what?

My birthday is the next day and I knew I was going to stay in doors all day.

"Happy birthday, cockhead!" Gabriella's voice resonated from the corridor, jolting me awake to face another tumultuous day. I burrowed deeper into the bed, wrapping the blanket around me like a shield. "Natalie!" she bellowed, pounding on the door with a force that made the walls tremble. "Get up!"

"What's got you so riled up, Gabriella?" I asked, my voice measured, as I leaned against the bed cabinet, smoothing out my hair with a calm I didn't feel. "I'm not opening up to you until you show some respect, little bunny," I added, my tone firm but measured, a hint of steel beneath my words.

I swiftly slipped into my pajama nightwear, the soft fabric a comforting embrace. A quick glance in the mirror revealed a reflection that seemed almost as fragile as my nerves. Taking a deep breath, I reached out and grasped the door handle, my fist tightening around it like a lifeline. With a sense of trepidation, I pushed the door open, the creak of the hinges echoing through the tense silence.

"Oops, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, girlfriend!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening with delight at the sight of my favorite strawberry cake and two cups of milky coffee in her hands.

I quickly grasped the treats, my smile overflowing with appreciation. "From my favorite coffee shop, I presume?" I asked warmly, but my words faltered as her gaze pierced through me, her expression unyielding. "Get out of my way, silly head," she snapped, her tone a stark contrast to my cheerful greeting.

"My mouth agape, I watched, transfixed, as she sashayed to my bed, her hips swaying with a feline grace that belied the danger lurking beneath.

The short yellow dress clung to her curves, a vibrant splash of color that seemed almost jarring in its audacity. My thoughts raced to keep pace with her boldness, my eyes darting out into the corridor, wondering if my mother had borne witness to this provocative display. But Gabriella's deadly glare froze my curiosity in its tracks.

"I apologize, Gabriella," I stammered, my voice laced with a mix of contrition and apprehension. "And thank you for the gift," I added, my words tumbling out in a hasty bid to appease her.

"I've been planning a birthday party for you at the club," Gabriella announced, her eyes sparkling with excitement, but she couldn't comprehend what she meant by planning a birth...

My jaw dropped in disbelief. "What?!" I exclaimed, my voice trembling with shock. "A club?!" My voice was laced with shock as I watched her nod to it like a lizard, seemingly oblivious to my distress. "Yes, the club! It's going to be epic!"

With a gentle shake off, my voice barely above a whisper. "I can't attend a party at a club, Gabriella." I protested, sinking into the couch beside the bed, my gaze fixed on the cake as if it were a lifeline.

"The mere suggestion was enough to make me sneeze, my jaw clenched in distaste as I savored the softness of the cake, the sweetness a stark contrast to the bitterness of Gabriella's words. My adrenaline surged as she casually mentioned 'two credit cards' like it was nothing, the extravagance of it all leaving me breathless."

I raised an eyebrow, wiggling it playfully to grab her attention, but she simply shrugged, lounging on the bed like a chameleon, her legs shaking with excitement as she chatted away on her phone call. "Gabriella, seriously, you should cancel the cards," I said with a crackly voice, my tone laced with disinterest. 'I'm not buying into this extravagant spending, bla bla bla...' I trailed off, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

Natalie! Come on! It's your birthday! You only turn twenty-one once! Let me spoil you, just this once." Her eyes rolled dramatically, and her voice dripped with exasperation. Then what's the big deal in turning twenty-one, Gabriella? Nevertheless, turning eighteen or twenty-one doesn't change it.

"'It'll be a princess-worthy feast, complete with shrimp, chicken in a savory sauce, and a hint of liquor to give it a grown-up twist,' Gabriella announced, her eyes scanning her phone with excitement, her lashes batting rapidly as she read out the menu. Her voice was tinged with satisfaction, like a chef reveling in her own culinary masterpiece.

I rolled my eyes good-naturedly, snuggling deeper into the couch cushions as I mindlessly scrolled through my phone, seeking refuge in a Bible quiz to distract me from Gabriella's over-the-top enthusiasm.

"My health is really taking a hit, Gabriella," I confessed, my brow furrowed in concern and my eyes locking onto hers with a mix of apprehension and expectation. "The doctor's report was grim, and I'm still trying to process it all."

But then, in a sudden burst of energy, I sprang up from the couch, twirling around like Cinderella transformed, my excitement threatening to spill over like an overflowing fountain. I gasped, my hands flying to my mouth to stifle the squeal that almost escaped.

"Mmm... is the club some kind of Bible study retreat?" I teased, clamping my hands over my face and whining playfully, my toe tapping out a rhythm on the floor as I pretended to be overwhelmed.

Gabriella's surprise was written all over her face, her eyes wide with confusion. "What's going on, Nat? You're being super weird right now," she said, her voice laced with amusement and curiosity.

I just laughed, my excitement still bubbling up like a champagne bottle ready to pop. "Let's just get ready for the club, shall we?" I said, dodging her question and already heading towards the door.

"Where are you going to dress up like some pastor's wife?" Gabriella's question was laced with sarcasm, but I detected a hint of curiosity beneath her teasing tone.

I spun around, my eyes scanning my wardrobe as I hastily searched for an outfit that would fit my newfound excitement. My fingers brushed against the soft fabric of my favorite dress, and I knew I had found the perfect choice.

"Check out this!" I exclaimed, holding up the long black skirt and blue chiffon blouse. The fabric shimmered in the light, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of transformation as I gazed at the outfit. Within minutes of toiling, I fit into her red short gown, which she had actually brought along. "Let's head to the club, Gabriella!" I said, My excitement is now in high gear.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.7

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

Abandoned Ex-Wife: Now Untouchable

My five-year-old daughter was dying in the ICU, her heartbeat replaced by the continuous, electronic scream of a flatline. I gripped her cold hand, my throat sealed shut by a terror so absolute I couldn't even cry out. I dialed my husband Grayson's private number, the one reserved only for me and his assistants. He declined the call instantly. A second later, a text buzzed against my palm: "In a meeting. Do not disturb. Stop calling." Five miles away, Grayson was at a luxury gala, adjusting his silk tie and laughing with Belle Escobar. He told her I was just being "dramatic" and using our daughter's "fever" as an excuse to avoid the event. He had no idea Effie's heart had already stopped. When I finally reached our penthouse, soaked from the rain and carrying Effie's small socks in a plastic bag, Grayson didn't even look at me. He snapped at me for ruining the hardwood floors and asked if I'd left Effie with the nanny just to "feel sorry for myself." Three days later, while I buried our daughter in a small, lonely ceremony, Grayson was at the Hamptons. Belle posted a photo of him golfing with the caption: "A mental health day with the boys." He didn't even attend the funeral, but he returned home demanding I clear out Effie's room to make a study for Belle's son. The injustice burned through me until there was nothing left. I swallowed a handful of sleeping pills, desperate to join my daughter. But instead of the darkness, I woke up to blinding lights and the scent of Grayson's expensive cologne. I was standing in a ballroom, wearing a blue silk dress I had already burned. Above me, a banner read: "Happy 5th Birthday Kaiden & Effie." I was back, exactly one year before the tragedy. This time, I wasn't going to be the grieving wife. I was going to be their worst nightmare.

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Flash Marriage To My Best Friend's Father

Madel Cerda
4.7

I was once the heiress to the Solomon empire, but after it crumbled, I became the "charity case" ward of the wealthy Hyde family. For years, I lived in their shadows, clinging to the promise that Anson Hyde would always be my protector. That promise shattered when Anson walked into the ballroom with Claudine Chapman on his arm. Claudine was the girl who had spent years making my life a living hell, and now Anson was announcing their engagement to the world. The humiliation was instant. Guests sneered at my cheap dress, and a waiter intentionally sloshed champagne over me, knowing I was a nobody. Anson didn't even look my way; he was too busy whispering possessively to his new fiancée. I was a ghost in my own home, watching my protector celebrate with my tormentor. The betrayal burned. I realized I wasn't a ward; I was a pawn Anson had kept on a shelf until he found a better trade. I had no money, no allies, and a legal trust fund that Anson controlled with a flick of his wrist. Fleeing to the library, I stumbled into Dallas Koch—a titan of industry and my best friend’s father. He was a wall of cold, absolute power that even the Hydes feared. "Marry me," I blurted out, desperate to find a shield Anson couldn't climb. Dallas didn't laugh. He pulled out a marriage agreement and a heavy fountain pen. "Sign," he commanded, his voice a low rumble. "But if you walk out that door with me, you never go back." I signed my name, trading my life for the only man dangerous enough to keep me safe.
