When Jeanette's father leaves his entire business empire to her and presumably passes, she is forced to manage his assets and businesses. 

Unfortunately, her qualifications are for being a teacher, not a CEO, so she agrees to marry Daniel, her late brother's best friend and childhood crush, because her father's will forces her to marry in order for her to sell Lucas Industries. 

They strike a deal. 

He runs the business while she returns to teaching-but he's determined to make her fall for him because, although he became so good at hiding his feelings that she gave up on pursuing him, he's always been obsessed with her. 

Through carefully placed gestures, unwavering devotion, and a past neither of them has fully faced, Daniel works his way back into Jeanette's heart. 

But when an accident puts him in danger, she realizes the truth-she never stopped loving him and she doesn't have to run anymore.

Twisted Destiny by authoravennoire
37 parts Ongoing Mature
☆ MultiCouple Series Book #1 --------☆--------- Three best friends. Three stories. Three impossible loves. Hoorain and Azlan were never meant to fall in love but enemies don't stay enemies when he falls first... and falls hard. In a world where Azlan's possessiveness burns hotter than his ambition, Hoorain must decide if she can survive a love that threatens to consume her whole. Because touching him means death, but loving him might be worse. Haya and Arsal were a story that almost began years ago. Back in university, they shared quiet glances neither dared to act on- a silent, mutual crush they both mistook for one-sided longing. Then life pulled them in different directions. Six years later, destiny brings them face-to-face again. This time, the spark they once ignored grows into something real: easy banter, stolen smiles, friendship that blooms into love. But just when their hearts finally find each other, everything changes. A betrayal neither saw coming. A marriage that was never meant to be theirs. A bride who was supposed to be someone else. And a truth they're both afraid to uncover. Now love at first sight has twisted into a haunting question- what really pulled them into this marriage, and what are they not being told? Alishba and Aryan were born into each other's lives long before they understood what that meant. She grew up in shadows she never deserved-her childhood leaving scars she hides behind sharp words and colder walls. He grew up as everything she wasn't allowed to be: flirty, reckless, charming... the golden boy who never took anything seriously. He pushes every button she has, and she pushes back twice as hard. What neither of them admits is that the fire between them didn't start yesterday. Childhood enemies. Unspoken tension. A connection neither wants but can't outrun.

30 parts Complete Mature
Lyla has built her own empire from scratch, a successful company that she's fiercely proud of. Independent and driven, she has no interest in marrying for convenience-especially not Lorenzo Caldwell. The Caldwells and Lyla's family have always been close, and there's been an expectation that she and Lorenzo would eventually tie the knot. But Lyla wants nothing to do with a marriage that's based on family obligations. Lorenzo, the ruthless CEO of Caldwell Enterprises, has always been used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to his family's expectations. He's heard the rumors: Lyla, wealthy in her own right, must be eyeing his fortune. But he doesn't know Lyla-she's not interested in him or his money. She's already made a name for herself, and no amount of wealth can change that. As both families push them together, Lyla and Lorenzo are forced to navigate their differences, their assumptions about each other, and the pressure to marry for the sake of tradition. What happens when the cold CEO and the independent businesswoman begin to see each other in a new light? Can a marriage of convenience turn into something more, or will they both remain trapped by their own assumptions?
