When Olivia Anderson found out she was pregnant, it was supposed to be the happiest moment of her life-until she caught her husband, Jason, in an affair that shattered everything. Now, months later, Olivia is a thriving divorce attorney, determined to move forward for the sake of her unborn child. But when Ethan Hart, a renowned lawyer with a dark past and Jason's best friend, is assigned to represent her ex-husband, everything she thought she knew about love and loyalty is thrown into chaos. Ethan's arrival stirs something Olivia thought she had long buried-an attraction that's too dangerous to explore. Torn between the child she carries and the undeniable connection growing between her and Ethan, Olivia must decide: Can she rewrite her own story, or will the scars of her past keep her from the love she deserves?

Chapter 1 Betrayal in the night

Olivia Anderson stood frozen in the doorway of the luxury hotel suite. The world around her blurred, sound faded to a distant hum, and the only thing she could focus on was the sight of her husband, Jason, sitting on the edge of the bed. He wasn't alone.

Her heart pounded in her chest, each beat echoing like a drum, but she couldn't move. She had spent the last thirty minutes racing through the city, driven by suspicion, driven by the text message that had shattered her world. "He's here, Liv. Room 814, with her."

Now, seeing it for herself, every piece of doubt disintegrated. There was Jason, shirtless, his face paling as he noticed her in the doorway. The woman beside him hastily pulled the sheets around herself, her lips forming an apology Olivia would never want to hear.

Olivia's breath came in shallow gasps, the betrayal burning hot and bitter inside her. She had been prepared for something-an argument, a denial-but seeing it in the flesh was worse than she'd imagined. Her mind raced, clashing with the last few months of their marriage. The cold nights, the late work hours, the excuses.

Jason stood up quickly, panic rising in his eyes. "Olivia, wait-this isn't what you think."

She blinked, her body finally breaking free from its paralysis. Not what you think? The words rattled in her head. The sight of him standing there, half-naked, was all the confirmation she needed. There was no explaining this away.

Her voice was colder than she had ever heard it. "How long?"

Jason hesitated, as if calculating whether a lie would save him. Olivia's gaze hardened, her fingers curling into fists. "How long, Jason?"

"Just a few months," he finally muttered, looking down. The truth slipped out, but the weight of it dropped like a bomb between them.

Months. Months of lies, deception, and betrayal, all while Olivia had tried to hold on to the threads of their marriage. Her stomach churned with disgust, and without another word, she turned and stormed out of the room. She didn't need to hear more.

She ran down the hotel corridor, her heart breaking, shattering with each step. When she reached the elevator, her body collapsed against the cold wall, her hands trembling as she pressed the button. Her breath hitched in her throat, tears welling up, but she forced them back.

She had to leave before she broke down completely.

MY MASTERS

MY MASTERS

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
