Gone are the ridiculous Jeans and T-shirts. She was wearing a sexy black dress that caresses her body like a second skin, bringing out beautiful curves I didn't notice before. I nearly stumbled when my gaze fell on her sexy long legs, and her wild curly hair added a fierce appeal. She looks like sin. I had to support my weight by pressing my palm to the wall, lest I trip and fall. "Mr. Smith you are back," she said snapping me out of my daze. "Mr. Smith, are you ok? you look pale" she asked. I clenched my fist, my eyes darkens as I took a step towards her, I cornered her to the wall. Ever since I met her I feel like I am losing control, from her pushing my buttons, getting under my skin, and now to this. She is going to be trouble! I gaze at her with lust. Her eyes flickered open. For the first time, I noticed she has beautiful grey eyes. My gaze fell on her plump lips, painted with red seductive lipstick. She bit her lips stirring up a strong urge to brush my lips on hers, devouring her lips with the craving desire surging up in me.

“You want me to study, Tutor? Simple. Score a goal on me. If you miss, you leave and keep your mouth shut.” Roxy Brooks is the smartest student at Kingston Academy, a school for the ultra-rich. She isn’t there to make friends or find love. She is on a strict scholarship, working hard to save her family from heavy debt. Jaxon Montgomery is the school’s golden boy—the rich, wild captain of the hockey team who is about to ruin his own future. He is failing his classes, and his coach gives him a final warning: get a tutor, or get kicked off the team. Roxy needs the high-paying tutoring job, but Jaxon doesn’t want her help. To scare her off, he locks her on the cold, empty ice rink. He tells her she has to score a goal against him to make him study. She fails completely. But instead of letting her quit, Jaxon is excited by how she refuses to back down. So, he offers her a new, dangerous deal. Every time she fails to score a goal, she has to pretend to be his girlfriend to trick the school board and keep his strict family off his back. In return, he will let her tutor him so she can keep her paycheck. But as their fake public kisses start to feel very real, the game changes. They are supposed to be acting, but behind closed doors, things are getting fast, intense, and deeply personal. Roxy wanted to save her future—but she might just lose her heart to a rich jock who plays dirty on and off the ice.

Detective Emma Reed moves to the quiet town of Lakeview for peace — and finds ritualistic murder instead. Elderly residents are turning up dead, each body carved with a precise musical symbol. Not random. Not chaotic. Part of a composition. As Emma investigates, she uncovers whispers of a forgotten cult that believed music could purify the soul — a cult that vanished decades ago, but never truly died. The killer’s messages grow bolder. Notes become motifs. A pattern begins to form. Then Emma meets Adrian Hale — a brilliant, enigmatic pianist whose music feels hauntingly familiar. Drawn to him against her better judgment, she doesn’t realize she’s stepping into the center of the symphony. Someone is composing something in blood. The anthem is almost complete. And Emma was never just the detective — she was always the final note.

Late that night, I was scrolling through an anonymous forum called "Gotham Gossip" when a post titled "How a Wall Street Elite Played Me for a Fool" caught my eye. [I’d been with my boyfriend for eight months when he dumped me out of the blue, saying I was “eliminated” from his “wife trial.” I found out it’s some kind of sick game his whole Wall Street circle plays. They date a bunch of women at the same time, give them scores, and cut whoever “underperforms” until they pick a winner to marry.] It sounded absolutely absurd. I couldn’t help but rip into the scumbag in the comments. Then I saw a reply from my boyfriend's assistant, Elise Pierce. [Well, for a guy with his status and wealth, it makes sense. A high-value man like him needs a vetting process.] I rolled my eyes in disbelief. Just as I was about to fire back, I heard the front door of the apartment open. I had been with Dorian Hawthorne for five years. He had always been gentle, considerate, and doted on me. I had already decided that the moment he proposed, I would confess my true identity—that I was the heiress to an East Coast shipping empire. I never imagined a single glance at a screen could shatter my world. But as I watched, a message notification lit up the living room’s massive TV. [You hooked up with Elise again today? And you gave her that high of a score? Keep this up and Juliet’s gonna be out of the running!]

P.S. this novel contains smut as you can see from the r18 tag but don't worry I will only put the partial smut content here in webnovel because I think it will ruin the atmosphere of the novel. Oh before I forget this story is potentially a harem. I haven't really decide yet so let's see where the story takes us. P.P.S. I will post the novel with full smut content at my patreon. I hope you like my work and your constructive criticsm is very much appreciated. pa treon.com/user?u=86567820

Late that night, I saw a post on PackNet, the internal werewolf forum. [I was with an Alpha for seven months. Without any warning, he broke our temporary mark and informed me I’d been eliminated from his “Luna Trials.” Only then did I learn that in his circle of Alphas, it was normal to be with a dozen she-wolves at once. They would grade us, eliminate the lowest-scoring she-wolf, and ultimately choose the “best” one as their mate.] This was outrageous. My inner wolf roared. I tore into him in the comments, furiously condemning his betrayal of the Moon Goddess. Then I saw a reply from Cora Thorne, a member of my mate Jax Deveraux's pack. [Considering his bloodline status, it's quite fair. For a powerful Alpha like him, holding trials is reasonable.] I rolled my eyes so hard they nearly got stuck, and I shredded her in the replies. I had been with Jax Deveraux for five years. He had always been affectionate and gentle; his devotion seemed unwavering. I’d already decided that on the next full moon, I would reveal the sigil of my Sterling clan to him. I never imagined that, as he held me, the fragile mate bond between us trembled, and a stray thought bled through from his mind. It was a mind-link from his Beta. [You scent-marked Cora again today? Her power rating is soaring. If this keeps up, Aria is going to lose the final trial!]

In her past life, Su Yaoguang bought Xiao Yanci, supported his education, and helped him rise to great heights. She became his wife. Everyone praised him for never abandoning the farm girl who funded his rise. Su Yaoguang also believed she had found a good man. Unexpectedly, when she was seriously ill, she saw Xiao Yanci bring his first love and a child who resembled them both to her bedside. "Dad, mom, when will this person die?" the child asked, holding Xiao Yanci's hand. Xiao Yanci responded, "Soon, just wait a bit longer." That was the moment she realized: she had wasted her entire life on the wrong man. Returning to the age of fifteen, Su Yaoguang pointed at the bloody young boy: "I want him." In her past life, no matter what she gave Xiao Yanci, she only received a cold expression. This time, the young boy, like a wolf cub, dropped his guard; everything Sister gifted was the best. Sweet as milk. Devoted beyond reason. He melted her completely. Until one day, the young boy took a high position. Not wanting history to repeat itself, Su Yaoguang packed her things and slipped away at night, only to run into a man as noble and unattainable as a deity. "I've heard you call us siblings everywhere. Good sister, shouldn't we change what we call each other?"
