Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)

The shy girl wanted to prove she could be useful to the CEO's plan-seducing a dangerous man. Trembling, she carefully straddled Diana's lap, heart pounding, desperate to show she wasn't as helpless as she seemed. Diana's cold voice challenged her: "Is that all you can do? You think this is helping? Sitting on me, trembling like that?" But inside, watching Anna like this, she felt something she refused to admit-losing control. Anna ran away to start over. At nineteen, she left behind a strict father, a forced engagement, and a life that never felt like hers. Now she's tucked away in a quiet corner of Thailand, working at a small café and trying to find pieces of herself again. Then Diana (33) walked in. Cold, composed, and impossibly intimidating, Diana is the kind of woman who commands a room without saying a word. A powerful CEO with a mysterious edge and eyes that never miss a thing. She claims she's just there for coffee... but she lingers. Watches. Smiles, when no one's looking. When a spilled drink and an innocent apology turn into a moment neither of them expected, Anna finds herself pulled into a game she doesn't understand, one filled with secrets, tension, and a closeness that feels too dangerous to want. But Diana isn't just a customer. And Anna isn't just a girl working behind the counter. One is hiding a mission. The other is trying not to lose herself. And neither of them is ready for what's coming next.

When 32-year-old pediatric surgeon Charlie Grace woke up one morning and decided to leave her life in New York behind, she didn't just quit her job - she abandoned her family, her home, all that she's ever known. With nothing but a job waiting for her in Los Angeles, she goes searching for a fresh start, whatever that looks like. Enter Artemis Stark, the head of neurosurgery at Thomas Stark Memorial Hospital. Artemis was born in a family of famous surgeons. She is used to controlling every aspect of her life, especially at work. So, when Charlie comes crashing through, all bubbly and perky, it is as infuriating as it is intriguing. Forced to work together in this fast-paced, high-pressure, life-and-death environment, Charlie's humour and quick wit clash with Artemis's brooding and serious demeanour. The two learn to work together despite their differences. But with the intensity of saving lives and navigating their own personal lives, they need an outlet. And maybe they find that they're not so different after all. Maybe they discover that their needs align perfectly. And maybe, just maybe, there might be more to it than patients and surgeries. -- This story is entirely my work of fiction. All characters and fictional places are from my own creation.
