LOGIN⚠️ 18+ WARNING ⚠️ This novel is intended for mature readers (18+) only. "Look at you," Tristan murmurs, his voice dripping with lust. "You’re starving for it, aren’t you? Such a greedy little girl." He tugs on the belt, using it like a leash to urge me forward. "Be a good girl and suck me off." ***************** She entered her mother's mansion as an unwanted daughter, believing she'd only have to endure the cold stares and cruel words. She never expected to leave her heart in the hands of her stepfather—a man she could never have, yet the only one who ever made her feel like she belonged. But in a house built on secrets, betrayal, and forbidden desires, loving him may cost them everything. After years of watching her father battle cancer, Anastasia loses the only parent who ever truly loved her. Forced to abandon her education to help pay his overwhelming medical bills, she is left with nothing but grief, debt, and a home she can no longer afford. On the day of his funeral, the woman who abandoned them years ago returns. Dressed in luxury and now with a billionaire man, her mother acts as though she never walked away. With nowhere else to go, Anastasia reluctantly follows the woman she swore she'd never forgive, unaware that accepting her mother's offer will change her life forever.
View MoreI grip the silver tray tighter, my knuckles turning white against the polished metal. The heavy crystal glass of the vintage Merlot wobbles slightly, the dark red liquid swirling dangerously close to the rim. I need this and I need the tip that might come with it if I can play my cards right. The hospital bill for my father is sitting on my kitchen counter like a death sentence, a terrifying number that grows every single day. The chemotherapy is eating him alive, and the insurance is a joke. I’m not here to party; I’m not here to get my pussy wet or find some dick to ride for the night. I’m here to survive. I weave through the mass of writhing bodies, dodging a groping hand that reaches for my waist and ignoring the drunk guy slurring about how much he wants to fuck my mouth. My eyes are locked on the VIP section in the back, specifically the booth occupied by the man who just walked in an hour ago. Even from across the room, he commands attention. He’s sitting alone, which is ra
The air in the waiting room tastes like stale coffee and antiseptic, a flavor that coats the back of my throat no matter how many times I swallow. I sit on one of the vinyl chairs, my leg bouncing rhythmically, the rubber sole of sneaker squeaking against the linoleum floor. I clutch my phone in my hand, knuckles white, staring at the double doors that lead to the ICU. Please, I repeat the word in my head like a mantra, a desperate prayer to a God I haven’t spoken to in years. Please don’t let him die. Not today. The door swings open, and a nurse in blue scrubs steps out, holding a clipboard. "Anastasia Volkova?" she calls. I shoot up from the chair so fast my head spins. "Yes. Is he—?" "Dr. Lawrence will see you now," she says, her face neutral, giving nothing away. She leads me down a corridor that is too bright and too quiet. I follow her into a small consultation room where Dr. Lawrence is already waiting. He’s an older man with silver hair and a face that looks like it’
The smell of the hospital never really leaves you. It’s a specific, sterile stench of antiseptic and floor wax that clings to the back of your throat, mixing with the metallic tang of fear that lives in the waiting room. My father, Abel, isn't just sick; he is being consumed. Cancer is a greedy, silent tenant that has moved into his bones and refuses to pay rent, eating away at him until the man who used to lift me over his head is now a collection of sharp angles and yellowing skin. I watch the machines beep in a rhythmic, monotonous drone, counting the dollars of his survival with every pulse. It’s a brutal, slow-motion execution that drains the bank account faster than it drains the life from his eyes. I’ve lost track of the exact number, but the weekly tests alone are a vampire. Four thousand dollars for a scan that tells us nothing but "wait and see." The chemotherapy cycles, the anti-nausea meds, the hospital stays—they stack up into a mountain of debt that crushes my chest
The air in the room feels heavy, thick with a scent that is uniquely him—sandalwood and something darker, muskier. I don’t have time to process it before Tristan is there, crowding my space, his presence overwhelming. His voice drops an octave, vibrating through my chest before he even touches me. "I warned you, Anna," he growls, the sound scraping against my nerves. His hand shoots out, fingers wrapping around my throat with a possessiveness that steals the breath from my lungs. He shoves me backward, and my shoulders slam against the wall. The impact jars me, but I don’t fight it. I surrender instantly, melting into the rough plaster as he steps between my thighs. This is where I belong. This is how a daddy takes care of his baby girl. He crashes his mouth against mine, devouring me. It isn’t a kiss; it’s a conquest. His tongue sweeps in, claiming every inch of my mouth, tasting and dominating. His grip on my neck tightens just enough to make my head spin, sending a rush of
