His Only Craving
I took a bite of the cake. It was so good I almost moaned. Across from me, Xander watched with an intensity that made my skin tingle, like a starved predator eyeing a prize. I frowned. "Don't you want to try it?" I asked, popping a cherry into my mouth. His gray eyes darkened. "Can I?" "Of course you can. You make it sound like I'm starving yo-" My words died in my throat as his lips crashed against mine. Suddenly, I understood. The cake wasn't the prize he was hungry for. I was. ... Annie Lin's perfectly structured life shatters the moment her father announces her sudden engagement. To save her family's interests, she is forced into an arranged marriage with a man she barely knows: Alexander Black. To the corporate world, Alexander is a ruthless, unyielding emperor who rules his business empire with an iron fist. She doesn't realize that Alexander Black has been orchestrating the pieces all along-and he has no intention of ever letting her go.
The silence between us
He carried the world on his shoulders, but forgot how to hold her hand. For Zayed, love meant keeping the world's ugliest burdens a secret so his family could live in the light. For Ayla, his silence felt like a slow, freezing rejection. Trapped between a demanding mother-in-law and a husband who treats her like a stranger, a heartbroken Ayla packs her bags and flees, desperate to find peace for her little girls and her unborn child. Stripped of his corporate crown and left with nothing but a hollow house and a faded note, Zayed realizes his greatest failure wasn't a lack of loyalty, but a lack of vulnerability. A deeply moving story of hidden sacrifices, shattered trust, and the beautiful, agonizing journey of a man learning to speak his love out loud for the very first time.Complete
