On the night she was supposed to begin her happily ever after, Emily's world shattered. Minutes after becoming Mrs. Alexander Sinclair, Emily walks into her honeymoon suite and discovers her billionaire husband in bed with his best friend, Marcus. Worse still, they expect her to accept it... even join them. Heartbroken and humiliated, Emily strikes Alexander with a champagne bottle and flees into the storm, only to lose everything in a single night. Her mother turns her away. The police arrest her for attempted murder. Her husband serves her divorce papers from behind the safety of his lawyers before announcing his plans to marry Marcus instead. Just when Emily believes her life is over, a mysterious billionaire known only as Dan Gadon steps out of the shadows with an impossible offer. "Be mine... and I'll give you back everything they took." But Dan isn't a hero. He has secrets darker than Emily can imagine, and the silver locket around her neck may be the key to a past powerful enough to shake the city's underworld. Betrayed. Hunted. Broken. Emily has nothing left to lose... except the chance to become the woman no one will ever dare betray again.

He married the wrong woman… and broke the right one. Now she’s back, with the power to ruin him… or make him beg. Seven years ago, Emily Truce dragged a boy out of a burning wreck, then vanished before he ever even saw her face. By morning, her twin sister had stolen the credit… and the life that came with it. Now that boy is Carl Ben, a billionaire bound to marry the woman he believes saved him. But when a crushing family debt forces a last-minute switch, the bride at the altar isn’t Lydia, it’s Emily. The wrong bride. The unwanted wife. From the moment they marry, Carl makes his feelings clear. Cold. Distant. Cruel. He gives his loyalty to a lie and his attention to another woman while Emily fades into a life where she is seen, but never chosen. Until the night everything breaks, she discovers Carl's preference for his matrimonial bed is her twin sister and never her and he confirms it to her face while she laughs at Emily with him buried inside her. That night, she stops hoping… and finally walks away. She signs the divorce papers he has long awaited, secretly pregnant and disappears without a trace. Emily Truce returns no longer invisible, but powerful, remarried in an arrangement to a marriage she once ran from, to a billionaire who worships her. “You're mine, Emily, let the world burn if it dares touch you, you’ll breathe my love like oxygen for a lifetime" Nicole Ashfort vows. Now Carl Ben is begging, finally seeing the truth: she was the one who saved him. But Emily didn’t come back for love. She came for revenge, Ice-Cold, rich and brutal. And this time, she decides who stays and who she ruins.

For eight years, Freda gave everything to her husband, Curtis. She built his company from the ground up, protected his reputation, and stood beside him as the perfect pastor's wife. Millions admired the marriage she preached about online, never knowing it was built on lies, pretence, and manipulations. Until the day she caught Pastor Curtis in their marital bed... with not just any member of the congregation and employee, but her best friend! The scandal explodes across social media, but somehow Freda becomes the villain. Branded a cheating wife, pressured into signing divorce papers, and stripped of everything she helped build, she walks away with nothing but a broken heart and the last money in her bank account. Determined to disappear from all the shame, trauma, and humiliation, Freda starts over in a foreign country. Desperate and penniless, she agrees to perform only one night at an exclusive club, just enough to survive. One night, one performance, and one decision that changes everything. Gredon Vale, the cold billionaire CEO of Map-Life, has problems money can't solve. Freshly divorced and hunted by a vicious media campaign, he needs a respectable wife to secure a multibillion-dollar business deal. When he meets Freda, he offers her a contract marriage she can't afford to refuse. She'll get the money, the power, and the chance to destroy the man who ruined her life. She'll get a second chance at life, and all she needs to make Curtis regret. And he'll get the deal... and a woman his ex can never compete with. There'll be no feelings, strings, and no forever. But what begins as a business arrangement soon blurs into something far more dangerous. Because Gredon isn't the kind of man who lets go of what's his. And Freda has no idea that behind the polished smile of the billionaire CEO lies the heir to one of the world's most powerful mafia families. The contract had an end date, but obsession didn't.

Redna Cussain What happens when love becomes the very reason the heart shuts down? I never knew a mom like other kids knew or spoke of. And when I finally did, it was a nightmare. Then there's the man who had my heart and whose love I thought belonged to none other but me, what a fool I was! The only thing he clearly gave a f*ck about was having his c*ck slide in and out of my mother's throat. Look at me now, twenty-two, broke early-stage blood cancer with two life-threatening lumps, and with a child that isn't even mine, all alone. For how long shall I continue to endure? How much more of the manipulation, shame, lies, and deception can I take before I finally break? Cyi Dubonne I broke her, and I lost her, and I swear I would tear myself apart just to hear her even whisper my name again. I've spent the past half-decade as a shadow of my own self. She saw me, Redna, my starling, and I deserve to die. She saw me with her, the devil that caused it all. I should have avoided her, I should have said no. But that night was the worst night of my life and I will detest myself until I die for what I did. I've been trying to reach her, to kneel, bleed, if that's what it takes to have her back. How will this end? What if I never find her again? Breathing feels like a punishment because she's all I have to live for. Will she even forgive me for all I did to her? Is she okay wherever she is now? Will I ever have her back and if I do, will she stay with me? Can I save her from what's coming? Healing takes time and I don't care if it costs me my lifetime. There's so much for her to learn before it's too late. Even rotting roses leave a seed.
