Tatiana Mattew is offered as payment to a widowed man to be his wife so her father can pay off the colossal debt they owe to corrupt bankers.

She has no desire to marry, much less to this man whose nickname is the Shady One. However, Tatiana is in love with her longtime boyfriend, Lucian. Now she will be forced to tell him about her impending marriage with that stranger.

Dario Magghio, since his wife died giving birth to their only child, has lost his joy and faith in humanity. Since then, he has dedicated himself to taking care of his son Dante and his business has been failing. For this reason, he decides to get married so that his son will have the care and love he needs, which he feels he is unable to provide. Only then can he focus on his business and forget the pain of watching his son grow up without his mother.

Life brings them an unexpected twist and news that will either leave them in emotional misery or absolute and eternal joy.

Life presents second chances in love, even third chances, even if we are blind not to want to see it and deaf to not listen to the cries of sadness and anguish heard around us.All Rights Reserved

His Loving Eyes [18+] by StarryyNightmare

Arranged Marriage Evelina Maddison Camilli is an aspiring American fashion designer. Her goal is to prove to her parents that fashion design could be as powerful as leading an empire. The only way to do that is by opening a shop without her parents' help. Her dream and goal were set to a target- But there is one problem. An extremely powerful businessman just bought the shop of her dreams. And, that was a huge barrier for her because it would be hard for her to continue with her plan. Devon Alexander Enderson is an English businessman on the verge of taking over his father's empire. The board threatens that his bachelorette behaviour, sleeping around and scandals are unacceptable for such a high position, and so his hands are tied. The only way to prove them wrong is by getting married and having a stable life. The opportunity comes... well... crashes into his office when an angry Evelina comes demanding to have the shop back. But- "Marry me" the words trembled slowly and cautiously out of his mouth, wrapped in a heavy voice. Just two words, loud enough for me to hear and clear as crystal sent shivers up my spine, making me weak. I've always been a sucker for deep accents. My throat suddenly felt dry as I stood in the middle of his office, unable to get a word out of my lips as I carefully eyed his deep blue orbs.

Carter Richmond is the heir to Richmond Corp one of the biggest companies in the country. Now, why would two very different people from very different backgrounds even breathe the same air? Well, you see, George Montgomery, Ava's father had recently passed and with his passing, he has left a two point five million dollar debt to the only daughter willing enough to pay it. Carter had just recently earned himself an ultimatum. A chance meeting with Carter an old childhood friend of hers will help them get what they want. Carter offers to remove Ava's entire debt and make her life easier if she agrees to marry him but on one condition. She must not fall in love with him. It seems reasonable since Carter is not the kind of guy Ava would be interested in but opposites do attract. And an ordinary girl thrown in a world full of glitz and glamour is definitely not a perfect mix.
