Sam needed a wife. I needed a stable for my horses. We agreed to a marriage of convenience, but it seemed to be more. For a while. Until my distant cousin, who was Sam's ex, showed up on our doorstep. And I was no longer convenient.

One afternoon. One open door. I walked in carrying my father's favorite pie and walked out carrying a fifteen-second video that ended my marriage and my family in the same heartbeat. My husband in bed with my stepmother. The woman who raised me after my mom died. The woman who told me over coffee, "If he's hurting you, walk away. You deserve better." She was right. But she was the hurt. I didn't scream. I didn't throw things. I recorded. And then I made sure they would never forget the sound of my heart breaking. A story of betrayal so deep it rewrote everything I believed about love, family, and forever. Now I'm deciding how much truth Dad can survive... and how much pain they deserve to carry. They shattered her "I do." Now she'll shatter their lies.

Emilia "Mila" Ferretti is a carefree twenty-year-old university student and the youngest daughter of the powerful Ferretti family. Unlike her beautiful older sister, Daniella, who was groomed for a destiny Mila was never meant to have: marriage to Dominic Kane, the cold and untouchable heir to an empire built by his grandfather, Guillermo Montesoro, once the most powerful man in the world. But when Daniella dies in a tragic accident, Mila's world shatters. Grieving the loss of her sister, her best friend and her protector, Mila barely has time to mourn before Dominic makes an unthinkable demand: less than forty-eight hours after Daniella's funeral, he insists the agreement between their families must stand. He still wants a Ferretti bride and this time he wants Mila. Her family refuses, until Dominic threatens a lawsuit worth millions, one that could destroy the Ferretti name. Trapped by duty and desperation, Mila is forced into a marriage she never wanted, bound to a man she barely knows. Unbeknownst to Mila, Dominic never wanted Daniella, he has always wanted her. He has watched her for years and now with Daniella out of the way he will burn the world before letting her go.

A gold medalist, newly married, is revealed as a cheater in his post-gold medal win press conference.

Kylie left me days after I slid the ring onto her finger. A year later, her sister Mylie called and placed a baby named Addie in my arms. And just like that, I became a dad. My fiancée? Gone. No explanation. No goodbye. Just... gone. So I raised Addie with Mylie's help-learning parenthood in fragments of sleep and quiet panic-while I poured everything I had into my bar. It became my sanctuary. My second family. The only thing I could still control. Somewhere along the way, something between Mylie and me shifted. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly. Like a door you forgot existed finally clicking open. It wasn't love at first sight. It was something more dangerous than that. It was comfort. It was safety. It was the kind of connection that made me want to keep showing up even when I didn't think I deserved it.

They call me Brute. It wasn't always my name. But it's the one that stuck. Los Angeles. The Iron Vultures MC. A role I never asked for and a reputation I earned anyway. I'm the enforcer - the guy people look at and decide not to test. I play the part well. What they don't see is the humor, the loyalty, or the weight that comes with carrying a name you didn't choose. The past doesn't stay quiet forever. And some names are harder to bury than others. This isn't a love story. But it is a story about survival.

Malia found her husband that man she vowed to forever love cheating on her with not one but with multiple women at the same time.

❌ Blurb coming soon ❌ This story has been living rent-free in my mind for weeks - until I finally had to stop fighting it and just listen. It wasn't even supposed to be next. It quietly shoved its way ahead of two other projects I planned to post first. That said, there won't be a set posting schedule, and there may be weeks without updates at all. My other WIPs are still my priority, and between writing, work, and life, it's tough to keep a steady pace across multiple projects. I hope you understand - and only start this one if you genuinely feel like it, knowing it will take its time. ⚠️Content Note This is a cheating romance - there are explicit infidelity scenes on page. The main couple will find their way back to each other, and the story ends in an HEA. If this theme or ending isn't for you, please feel free to skip this one. I have other stories on my profile with different tones, tropes, and outcomes that might better suit what you're looking for. 💫 About the Story Lines of Lust & Betrayal is a standalone told in two parts: Part I - betrayal: messy and painful. Part II - the journey back: redemption, forgiveness, and rebuilding something worth keeping - deeply human.
