I was Ace. Prez's Road Captain. His enforcer. His right hand in the Desert Vipers MC. For ten years, my loyalty was absolute, my fight fierce, my place by his side unquestioned. Then Izzy rolled in on the back of his Harley. Small, innocent, everything I wasn't. And suddenly, my world shifted. Her shy smiles and polished words began to poison everything. I, who'd bled for this club, for him, was suddenly "too rough around the edges." Demoted from his bed, then from my position, replaced by a delicate painting and a whispered lie. The ultimate betrayal came when he believed her planted evidence, not years of shared blood. Left for dead, shot and bleeding in the Sonoran desert, by the man who'd once called me his "North Star." How could loyalty so absolute be shattered so effortlessly? How could a lifetime of sacrifice be erased by a week of deceit? The pain was a living thing, but the rage was a hotter fire than the desert sun. Discarded. Framed. Executed by the very man who swore to protect me. But I wouldn't die. Not for them. Not like this. And as the coyotes howled, a new path began, one forged in betrayal, leading to a reckoning I never saw coming.

Introduction

I was Ace.

Prez's Road Captain.

His enforcer.

His right hand in the Desert Vipers MC.

For ten years, my loyalty was absolute, my fight fierce, my place by his side unquestioned.

Then Izzy rolled in on the back of his Harley.

Small, innocent, everything I wasn't.

And suddenly, my world shifted.

Her shy smiles and polished words began to poison everything.

I, who'd bled for this club, for him, was suddenly "too rough around the edges."

Demoted from his bed, then from my position, replaced by a delicate painting and a whispered lie.

The ultimate betrayal came when he believed her planted evidence, not years of shared blood.

Left for dead, shot and bleeding in the Sonoran desert, by the man who'd once called me his "North Star."

How could loyalty so absolute be shattered so effortlessly?

How could a lifetime of sacrifice be erased by a week of deceit?

The pain was a living thing, but the rage was a hotter fire than the desert sun.

Discarded.

Framed.

Executed by the very man who swore to protect me.

But I wouldn't die.

Not for them.

Not like this.

And as the coyotes howled, a new path began, one forged in betrayal, leading to a reckoning I never saw coming.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Jessica C. Dolan
4.9

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
