Exposed to the CEO Behind the Mafia Mask

Exposed to the CEO Behind the Mafia Mask

I thought the masked stranger who fathered my son was a ghost of one reckless night. Then I walked into my new boss's office—and those ice-blue eyes found mine across the boardroom. Ivy Brooks only saw him once. One night. One mask. One underground auction that cost her everything—and gave her a son she'd die to protect. She never knew his name. Never saw his face. All she had were those piercing eyes behind black silk, a voice like gravel and velvet, and a secret she buried so deep she almost forgot it was there. For five years, she rebuilt her life from nothing—betrayed by her ex, abandoned by her family, raising her boy on stolen hours and stubborn hope. When she finally lands a legitimate job as Executive Assistant at Thorne Group, she thinks she's finally safe. Then she meets her new boss. Caleb Thorne. Billionaire CEO in a tailored suit. Don of the Thorne Syndicate in the shadows. A man who wears a different mask for every room he walks into—and the one who's been hunting her for five years. He doesn't recognize her face. But her eyes? Her scent? The way she flinches when he steps too close? He knows. And now that she's standing in his office—exposed, cornered, and carrying his secret—Caleb won't let her hide behind any mask. Not her professional armor. Not her single-mother walls. Not the lies that have kept them apart. He'll strip every layer until there's nothing left between them but skin, truth, and a fire neither of them ever put out.

I Faked My Death—Now I Have to Tame the Crazy Men I Left Behind

I Faked My Death—Now I Have to Tame the Crazy Men I Left Behind

[A Scheming Beauty Good at Flirting x a Domineering CEO, a Gentle Doctor, the Stoic Bigshot, and Twins; Male Leads Rivalry] Mia Grant stayed up all night reading a novel full of chaotic romance. Seeing an imprisonment scene in the book, she excitedly blurted out, "Please, protagonist! Let me in there to act for a couple of episodes!" After suddenly dying, she really did transmigrate into the novel, but not as the protagonist—rather, as the villainous side character. The original book didn't describe this character in detail, only mentioning that she was locked in a basement and starved to death for framing the protagonist. To survive, Mia Grant targeted the novel's several male leads and began her conquest. To the domineering CEO, she said with red-rimmed eyes, "Big Brother, the basement is so dark. Mia is so scared~" To the doctor, she cooed, "Second Brother, Mia’s chest hurts so much. Quick, have a listen." To the Stoic Bigshot, she looked innocent, "Mr. Keller, we’re in the same bed... My sister won’t be angry, will she?" To the aloof top student, she sobbed, "Am I just too stupid? I can’t compare to my sister at all!" To the puppy-dog-like boy, she blushed, "I didn’t come to watch you play! I-I was just passing by!" Having saved enough money, Mia Grant faked her death and escaped. Two months later, while she was on a tropical island flirting with eight male models, the System suddenly contacted her, "Host, I’ve finally established a connection with you! But can you tell me why all the male leads have gone mad? They even scattered your ashes into the sea!" "Forget it, you must go back and reduce their corruption levels! This world can still be saved!" "Not going." System: "A one-billion-dollar bonus!" Mia Grant whipped out her phone to contact a helicopter: "Yes, I need to leave the island. Immediately! Right now!"
