Synopsis

Rain Clayton's life takes a wild turn when she trashes her cheating boyfriend's car, only to find out it wasn’t his—it belonged to a stranger. To make matters worse, she accidentally discovers she's married to this stranger, none other than Alexander Lancaster, the reclusive Vice Chairman and CEO of the powerful Lancaster Group. Raised in a family that mistreated her and is now pressured by her father to marry the mayor’s psychopathic son, Rain sees this surprise marriage as a blessing in disguise. After years of suffering, it seems the heavens have finally taken pity on her, gifting her a handsome billionaire husband—a man ruthless to his enemies and exactly what she needs to escape her family's clutches. But there's one major problem: Alexander wants an immediate divorce. Determined to keep him, Rain strikes a bargain to extend their marriage, under his terms. Now all she has to do is convince him to keep her forever... A few weeks passed since their surprise marriage… “What are you doing?” Rain burst out, her eyes wide and her glare intense as she watched Alexander crawl onto her bed. “Performing husbandly duties,” he replied with a casual smirk. “You can’t sleep here! It’s against our contract!” “I’m not breaking it,” Alexander said with a shrug. “The contract specifies that you’ll fulfill all wifely duties, excluding sharing my bed. It doesn’t say anything about me not performing husbandly duties, including sharing your bed.” The situation had shifted, and it seemed like she was no longer the only one in control...

PAMPERED BY MY THREE BROTHERS: THE RETURN OF THE NEGLECTED HEIRESS

Penny has three brothers: one is a billionaire CEO, the second is the youngest military lieutenant, and the last is a successful actor. These three successful men had only one common ground: bullying Penny, their sore-eye of a little sister. The sister they never wished to have, and the one who claimed to be their real sister, while the sister they treasured all this time was a fake. After living a life of maltreatment in her aunt's home, some people of high standing came to Penny with news of her real parentage. She thought she was finally saved from her aunt’s clutches, unaware that what awaited her was worse. At 13, Penny only wished for one thing: for her brothers to love her and treat her like family, just as much as they loved their fake sister. She worked and studied ten times harder than anybody else just to be accepted by them. In her desperation, she foolishly fell into a trap set by a malicious person, not knowing her actions would result in the downfall of her brothers and her ending up in jail with a death sentence. On her execution day, Penny had only one thought in mind: If she ever got to go back in time, her brothers could pamper their fake sister for all she cared! She wanted nothing to do with them! And much to her surprise, Penny found herself back on the day it all began: the day she was born. As promised, this time, she wouldn’t foolishly try to earn her brothers' love and affection. Never mind family! She’d just make a lot of money, live in luxury, and make a family of her own! But wait, why is it now that she didn’t want anything to do with her brothers, they kept poking their noses into her business? Weren’t they supposed to pamper their fake sister? Why won’t they leave her alone?! And how on earth was she married in this lifetime? To make matters worse, this husband she never had in her first life was suddenly volunteering to be the father of her children?!

Go and suffer with your deadbeat husband, or come with me, I will show you the fun you’ve missed.” ===== For the past five years of her marriage, Katherine “Kate” Woods, 32, had always believed she was infertile. She was unable to conceive a child and her deadbeat husband Matt always insulted her for it, calling her a useless woman despite never finding a job himself, forcing Kate to be the sole breadwinner of their family. Yet, he still had the nerve to cheat on her with her own sister! Heartbroken, Kate escaped to her office late at night with four bottles of strong red wine. To her surprise, she wasn’t alone. A handsome young man stood in her office, watching her. He refused to give her his name, but offered to keep her company for the night.

In her drunken stupor, she boldly declared, "If my husband wants to sleep with every woman on earth, then two can play that game." She didn’t care if they did it raw, as she always thought she was barren. Only to find herself staring at a positive pregnancy test a month later. Kate Woods, the supposedly ‘barren woman,’ was pregnant. The stranger had accomplished in one night what Matt could not in five years. - Now that Henry has given her a choice, would Kate leave her deadbeat husband and jump into the sea of uncertainty with this young man?

Husband With Benefits

Nora is shattered a month before her wedding when she uncovers her fiancé's deceitful affair. As she manages this betrayal, she discovers a deep ploy to hinder her from claiming her rightful inheritance. Devastated but determined, Nora takes a daring step to regain control of her life. Enter Demetri 'The Demon' to those who know him, a formidable man barely known to her, who offers her protection and support in return for a contract marriage to satisfy him. In a twist of fate, Nora marries Demetri to claim her inheritance and fight those who plotted against her. But as she battles her own family and Demetri's many rivals, will she be able to keep from falling for the man known to crush people beneath his booted heel. Excerpt: She had forgotten that the man was intimidating and directly challenged him. Rather than speaking, Demetri rose from his seat and approached her deliberately. Although it was a mere few steps, time seemed to stretch for Nora. When he was almost within touching distance, his hand gently landed on her knee, moving it sideways. His touch moved with a hint of a caress, and he stepped between her open legs. Nora sat there in frozen silence, her eyes wide like a deer caught in headlights. Catching her chin between his fingers, he tilted her face upwards and spoke unhurriedly," You are my wife." She nodded her head slowly in affirmation while his thumb slowly traced her lip. "I have given you time to gather your emotions." Another nod. Nora's nervousness made her lick her lips, acutely aware of his intense gaze fixed upon them. "Your reason for the marriage was to secure your inheritance and get away from under your mother's thumb." "Yes..." Nora whispered in confusion. Her confusion was not about his statement but about the bewildering sensations coursing through her. What was happening with her? "It's time for you to fulfil your end of the contract, yes?" He continued. "Yes," Nora whispered breathlessly. Why was she breathless? Had the oxygen level in the house dropped? Was the air suddenly thinning? Abruptly, his hand left her face, and she watched as he drew closer. It was then that Nora comprehended what was unfolding. All those tantalizing, heart-pounding kisses she had read about in novels were about to possibly become her reality. But the anticipated kiss didn't happen. Instead, he paused near her and commanded, "Kiss me."

If it is author Eustoma_Reyna, then there is no question about the book's quality anymore! The title of it is cliche and something that would make you think it's another common "girl-meets-billionaire" troup. Oh well, you are gravely mistaken then if you think that way and decide to swipe away from this book. tsk tsk As always, our dearest author always has her characters, plot and twists ready to make you smile, jump, scream (from kilig, anger, unimaginable emotions) and many more verbs 😁 First chapter already reels you in, how much more the next few chapters.... tsk tsk, you won't have time to eat your meals properly anymore, nor sleep for 8 hours hahahaha... I have caught up to the latest chapter and dang, it's already soooo explosive! All sequence of events lead to actual important outcome, not just fillers and for the sake of tormenting someone! WHY ARE YOU STILL READING MY COMMENT? GO READ THE FIRST CHAPTER ALREADY 😁 HAVEN'T I SAID ENOUGH???? ❤️ Congratttss on this new book, Author! I've been a fan since the General Who Hates Me a few years back along with your other works ❤️

This is my fourth book for Author Reyna. I like this book, especially FL "Rain" she's a self-made, strong woman who didn't sit in her room and cry about everything, plus I'm excited to read about Rain's little adventure with Alexander and how they will face their enemies.

This review is based on the free chapters. I may add more later when I read a little more because I am curious about the origins of the MC and ML's mysterious marriage. I definitely didn't expect the story to start off so interestingly: at the police station of all places 😂😂 This is the first book from the author I've read, and I am looking forward to more chapters. The writing quality is good and the author does a great job at painting the picture for readers.

I really regret reading this book early because I have caught up to the latest chapter and now I have to painfully wait for the newest updates! I get like a Rain and Xander withdrawal symptoms if I am not able to read their story, author!!! What to do? You should take responsibility of this addiction! It is that gooooooodddd! ☺️😁 to be honest, I actually read word for word in as slow as I can so that I won't finish reading the new chapter so fast 😭

Sadly my score can't be much higher right now, review is being done after only 12 Chapters because book locked that EARLY. BUT, WebNovel asks for as detailed of a review as possible. I do NOT believe that can be achieved before the first 25 chapters. So, even though the same, evil Father, evil Step Mom and Step Sister was starting the book, the fact that the FL is strong and has a few close friends in her corner, she has only seen her ML 3 times. It DOES look promising and if it gets hella good, I'll happily do another review or update this one. But, this is all I can honestly say for now.

Reyna is literally one o f my best web novel authors and I love all her books. This might be weird but, even though this book is only 7 chapters. I'm completely hooked. Psyched to see how the next chapters come out😆

Another amazing story to get lost in. Reyna is a very good author. Never regreted reading any of her works. For the 1st time after reading MANY novels, the "step-sibling" and "half-sibling" is correctly addressed. Only few authors do that.
