Kiaria's Pov

I let out a sarcastic smile. "Leo Williams" I replied in a sarcastic tone.He smiled, trying to act familiar.

"Kiaria, it's so great to see you again. You look... stunning."

Looking at him, I couldn't tell what my emotions were playing at. Was it anger, sadness, or something else entirely? All I knew was that I wasn't happy to see him but my heart was racing, and I couldn't tear my eyes away from him.

"I said you look stunning," he repeated,this time around, his voice became softer like he really needed me to acknowledge his compliment.

"Oh of course, I know" I had to answer him that way to let him know I'm no longer the timid kiaria he used to know.

"Oh I see you guys have already met," Mark said with a surprised look.

Leo chipped in immediately, "Yes, she's my wife" moving closer to hold me asif I'm one of his possessions.

"Don't you dare come close to me."I said with a wide rage of anger in my eyes, staring at Leo. "Ex-wife," I said loud enough that everyone in the room heard me. The tension was so thick and I could feel everyone's eyes in our direction, but I just don't care. I had to put him where he belongs.

Mark was just gazing at us with a surprised look. His eyes went from one person to the other. He then broke the silence."Well,regardless of whatever relationship you both had,I'm sure we can be able to focus on the task at hand, which is why we are here,"he said, gesturing towards the proposal documents on the table.

Before Leo could say anything, the door to the conference room opened and Miriam strutted in, heels clicking against the tiled floor. The sound announced her arrival even before her presence did. She was dressed to impress as always and was wearing a self-satisfied smile that vanished the moment she laid eyes on me.

"You've got to be kidding me," Miriam sneered, glaring up at me. "What the hell is this thing doing here?"

I faced her with a cold smirk. "Slut like you don't speak when my presence is involved." Miriam tried to raise her hand up to slap me but I held it. "Don't ever dream of this act again, or else..." i dropped her hand forcefully, while Miriam is still foaming with rage.

"Well to answer your question," I continued, my voice steady and confident, "I'm here because the company recognizes talent when they see one. Something you wouldn't understand because you don't have it."

Miriam's face flushed red. "Mark, this woman is completely unprofessional! You can't possibly think she's the right person for this project!"

Mark chuckled and shook his head. "On the contrary, Miss Miriam, Kiara is the major person we want for this project. Her reputation speaks for itself."

Miriam glanced nervously at Leo whose jaw was tightening. The cracks in his composure were starting to show.

I stepped closer to Miriam, my voice low and firm. "You know Miriam, you have spent years trying to tear me down, but guess what? I'm still here and thriving. You can't stop me no matter how hard you try."

Miriam was already red and was about to rush me, when Leo grasped her wrist and said, "stop it Miriam, you are just embarrassing yourself." he hissed. "If you don't want to be here anymore, you go home. Besides, I can handle this without you."

Miriam froze immediately, her arms shaking in his grasp. Her mouth fell open as humiliation and shock was written all over her face. "Leo! You're supposed to be on my side!"

Leo sighed,pinching the bridge of his nose. "This is neither the time nor the place for dramas, Miriam." he said, sounding so frustrated.

I smirked, watching the drama between the two betrayals in front of me. "Trouble in paradise? So Leo does fight Miriam? Interesting" I just soliloquized to myself and smiled in satisfaction.

Then I turned sharply to Mark and said, "I'll make this really clear, I'm not working with the Williams & Co. company. If this project involves him in any slightest way, I will have to decline."

The atmosphere grew quiet suddenly.

Mark broke the silence. "Oh no Miss Kiara," he began, "you are the lead designer here, we called you specifically for this project, you can't decline now."

He turned to Leo immediately "Leo I thought your company was prepared to collaborate with the best?"

"Yes I...uh..we..." Leo stammered, he was clearly lost for words.

Mark continues " I don't think Miss Kiara wants to work with you, so this means that we won't be needing your company for this project anymore."

"No Mark, we can figure something out, " Leo said.

I raised an eyebrow, folding my arms. "You mean, you'll figure out how to step aside right? I said, my voice filled with disdain. "Because if you still think for one second that your involvement is going to remain the same, then this deal is off the table."

Leo's knuckles became white. He could hardly speak above a whisper, his fist clenched and the frustration he felt was written all over his face. "Very well then," he finally said. Let's have a deal."

I smiled, seeing the cold sweat on his brow. The tables had turned and for the first time in five years, I felt truly in control and I was just getting started.

When Alma's father stood in front of the bulldozers to protest, the energy company's thugs beat him half to death in the mud.

Her father was denied bail and framed for assaulting an officer. The corrupt mayor just smiled and told her not to cause a scene. Meanwhile, the company mailed her weeping mother a severance check that barely covered a month of groceries. Alma was forced to watch her family be completely destroyed by men with money and power.

Years later, Alma stepped onto a prestigious Ivy League campus, her cheap backpack slung over her shoulder. She was surrounded by the arrogant children of the very executives who ruined her life.

Jilted By Nephew, Claimed By King

I was kneeling on the cold concrete of an abandoned warehouse, staring at a ticking timer while a masked man held a knife to my throat. My fiancé's nephew, Preston, finally burst through the door, but he wasn't alone. He was clutching my stepsister, Felicia, both of them looking frantic. The kidnapper gave Preston a brutal choice: the bomb was rigged to the door, and he could only take one woman with him. The other would stay behind to burn. Without a single second of hesitation, Preston grabbed Felicia's hand and turned his back on me. "I'm sorry, Annelise," he said, his voice flat and devoid of any real regret. He slammed the heavy iron door shut, leaving me to scream in the darkness as the flames began to roar. He didn't just leave me to die; he did it to protect his inheritance, treating me like a piece of trash that was finally being cleared from his path. Later, in the hospital, he didn't even offer an apology. Instead, he raised his hand to strike me, threatening to finish what the fire started if I dared to speak a word about his cowardice. His stepsister laughed, trying to pour scalding coffee on my face while calling me a pathetic loser who should have stayed in the warehouse. I sat there, cowering and shaking like a broken girl, letting them believe they had won. I watched their cruelty with wide, watery eyes, wondering how they could be so blind to the monster they were provoking. What Preston didn't know was that the entire kidnapping was a performance I had choreographed myself, and every second of his betrayal was recorded in 4K. Now, I've successfully moved into the manor of the real king-his uncle, Francesco Lancaster. He thinks he's rescued a wounded bird, but he's actually invited a world-class predator into his home. The game is no longer about survival; it's about total destruction.

Sometimes you have to lose your way in the wild to find exactly where you belong. Christina thought she knew what love looked like. It looked like three years in Vancouver with Andrew, a life of polished surfaces, carefully curated social circles, and a love that felt more like a debt than a gift. But when a single message on Andrew's phone shatters the glass house she's been living in, Christina realizes she doesn't just need a break; she needs to be found. Seeking the "forced presence" that only the wilderness can demand, Christina flees to the rugged mountains of Whistler, British Columbia. Between the ancient cedars and the unforgiving granite peaks, she meets Liam, a man who belongs to the mountains and understands the silence she's been craving. As they navigate the treacherous trails together, Liam offers Christina something Andrew never could: the space to be strong. But healing isn't a straight path. When the shadows of her past follow her into the mist, Christina is forced to decide: is she just a "mountain dream" for Liam, or is he the True North she's been searching for? When Andrew reappears with a desperate plea and a web of manipulation, he threatens to pull her back into the gray noise of her old life. To survive, Christina must face a storm more dangerous than any mountain tempest. She will have to choose between the safety of the man who knows her past and the courage of the man who believes in her future. From the rain-slicked streets of Vancouver to the breathtaking summits of the Pacific Northwest, My Twin Flame is a story of heartbreak, reclamation, and the intentional love that moves mountains.

Rejected No More: The Exiled Princess Returns

Charity woke up in a hellish, acid-rain-soaked slum, trapped inside a bloated body covered in festering, toxic sores. She was the exiled Grand Princess of the Empire. But the real nightmare wasn't her ruined body. It was the fact that the original owner had used her royal authority to force genetic marriage contracts onto four top-tier, powerful men. Now, she was bound to them, and they absolutely loathed her. Hjalmar, chained to a bed in her filthy room, smiled like a feral beast and promised to rip her head off the second his chains snapped. Braden, a ruthless military officer, saved her from a mutated rat only to look at her with pure disgust. "If you want to die, go die somewhere else. Don't dirty my patrol sector." Even the locals mocked her fallen status, and a wealthy heiress publicly framed her for stealing a hundred-thousand-coin energy core just to see her rot in a dark cell. She was universally despised, physically repulsive, and a lethal biological toxin gave her exactly 59 days left to live. How was she supposed to survive this absolute hell when her starting affection with her partners was at negative 100? Then, a mechanical voice echoed in her skull, activating a survival system. To purge the poison, she had to harvest emotional energy by making these four men fall for her. Charity accepted the mandate, unlocked a top-tier culinary skill, and grabbed a rusted meat cleaver to start her counterattack.
