____________________________________________________________________
Jean-Martin Ferrer has spent his life building an empire. His ruthless efficiency has earned him both admiration and fear. With no patience for distractions-especially love-he sees relationships as nothing more than liabilities.
But when his grandfather's will drops an ultimatum-marry or lose everything-Jean-Martin suddenly finds himself cornered by the very thing he's always avoided.
Natalie Francisco is barely holding it together.
By day, she's a student.
By night, she juggles multiple part-time jobs-barista, tutor, waitress-anything to keep the lights on and food on the table. But no matter how hard she works, it's never enough. The debt left by her late mother's illness continues to bury her like quicksand she can't crawl out of. Every missed payment is like a ticking bomb. And when the threats start targeting her family, Natalie knows she's run out of time.
Desperation leads her to the last thing she ever thought she'd consider. Becoming an escort.
One night. One client. That's all it's supposed to be.
But when the door opens, it's not a stranger waiting-it's Jean-Martin Ferrer. The man she never expected to see again.

Halfway to Something
They say love is a choice. But what if the choice you made had nothing to do with love? We didn't marry because we were in love. We married because we both needed something- And each other was just... convenient. He needed a wife. I needed the money. So we signed the papers, wore the masks, and promised we wouldn't fall. But nothing about him is simple. He was the boy I loathed the most when I was twelve. Five years older, always out of reach, always one step ahead. Now, we're under the same roof, bound by the same lie. And yet, he still feels miles away. He's cold. Detached. Always in control. And I hate how effortlessly he gets under my skin. Me? I keep my thoughts sharp and my walls higher. I never let anyone see me falter. And I'm always mindful of the image I project-especially when no one's watching. And now, I'm slowly forgetting the rules we set when we said, "I do." This wasn't supposed to mean anything. But now, we're halfway into something neither of us knows how to name. And the thing about secrets? They always ask for more.
The New Mafia Boss (Under Revisions)
"The past always finds a way to catch up." The rain hammered the streets, but she barely noticed. She was too focused on the weight in her chest-the weight of everything she was trying to escape. She'd left the past behind. At least, that's what she'd convinced herself. When she walked into the room, the tension hit her immediately. The cold stares from everyone around the table made her skin crawl, but it was the figure at the head of the table that stopped her in her tracks. Him. Her ex. The man who had torn her world apart, the one she'd tried so hard to forget. But there he was, sitting casually with an air of power, as if nothing had ever changed. Her heart skipped a beat. She wasn't ready for this. Not now, not here. He looked up, his eyes locking onto hers. There was a flicker of recognition, something almost soft, but it vanished just as quickly. She couldn't breathe. The past had found her. "Didn't expect you to show up," he said, his voice as cold as ever. And just like that, everything she thought she had left behind came rushing back.Complete
