A spilled coffee. A cold CEO. And a high-stakes job in NYC that could cost her everything.

Racheal's first meeting with Derek Corbin is a disaster-she spills coffee all over him, and he fires her on the spot. But when her uncle steps in, she's forced to work for the man who clearly can't stand her. The harder Racheal tries to prove herself, the more Derek tests her-and yet, the more her heart falls for someone she is supposed to hate!

With Amelia's flirtations with Derek and Antonio's easy charm, things only get messier, but when corporate sabotage and betrayals rock the company, Racheal is forced to trust Derek in ways she never thought possible.

Love, power, secrets, and betrayal-Racheal's heart is torn. Will she take a chance on the CEO who's both her biggest challenge and deepest temptation, or will she walk away before he shatters everything she's worked for?

P.S: Updates are on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 5:00pm EST!!! 😊

Ebony "Yve" Shaw's world crumbles in a single devastating day. A fire claims her home and ten-month-old son, leaving her reeling in unimaginable grief. The blow is compounded by the discovery of her husband's infidelity with her best friend, a betrayal that shatters her trust and leaves her emotionally devastated. Penniless and heartbroken, Yve finds herself adrift, her life in ruins. Seeking solace in a luxury hotel bar, a chance encounter with enigmatic billionaire, George Blackwood, offers an unexpected lifeline. He proposes a shocking arrangement: "Wife for Hire." A purely transactional marriage, devoid of emotional commitment, in exchange for a substantial sum - half a million dollar deposited immediately. For Yve, this proposition becomes more than just a financial opportunity; it's a chance for retribution against those who destroyed her life. Fueled by a desire for revenge, she accepts. Yve enters George's world, a world of wealth, power, and hidden agendas. As she navigates the complexities of their fake marriage, the lines between business and personal begin to blur. The carefully constructed facade starts to crack, and Yve finds herself unexpectedly falling for George. But their arrangement is built on secrets and lies, and as their feelings deepen, Yve discovers that playing the role of wife is far more complicated than she ever imagined. Her heart is on the line, and the price of love might be higher than she's willing to pay. Will Yve find healing and happiness in this unconventional relationship, or will the tangled web of their arrangement ultimately lead to heartbreak?

Understood?" _____________________________________________ Mystery. Romance. Deception. You know what they say, hate is a strong emotion- so is love.

On the night her boyfriend got engaged to another woman,Sophia drowned her sorrows in a haze of alcohol and made a daring choice-spending the night with Nathaniel, the brother of her boyfriend's fiancΓ©e. Sophia sought a man with power and influence to shield her from the sting of betrayal. Nathaniel, in turn, was drawn to her youthful beauty and captivating confidence. For a time, it felt like more than just an arrangement. Sophia believed Nathaniel might truly care for her. But her hopes were dashed when he revealed his plans for a strategic marriage, leaving her only a check and a cold farewell. He expected tears, accusations, maybe even a scene. But Sophia merely smiled, pocketed the check, and walked out with her dignity intact. Her parting words were simple and cutting: "Goodbye, Nathaniel. I doubt we'll ever meet again." Fate, however, had other plans. When their paths crossed once more, Sophia was no longer the heartbroken woman he'd left behind. Stronger and more radiant than ever, she had someone new by her side. Nathaniel's jealousy was undeniable, his voice raw with regret. "Sophia," he said, his tone heavy with emotion, "it was me you loved first." She met his gaze with calm amusement, her smile laced with irony. "Nathaniel, you're the one who walked away. If you want a date now, you'll have to get in line." The very next day, Nathaniel appeared with a dazzling diamond ring and a fortune worth billions, dropping to one knee in front of her. "Sophia, I'm done waiting. Marry me."
