My Derelict Favorite

The Mafia’s Favorite Threat

EXCERPT: “How did you get past the guards and track me to my private residence?” Lucien asked Meret. “A magician never reveals her secrets.” “You’re not a magician. You’re a thief.” “That’s a bit rude.” She raised a brow. “I’m sure there are friendlier synonyms. Like…‘unauthorized relocation specialist’?” “Thief.” he repeated, deadpan. ****************** She stole from him but He doesn’t want the art back… he wants her. ~~ Meret Quinn is a professional thief, known for vanishing without a trace and never leaving behind more than a calling card that nobody has ever managed to trace. She steals high-value artifacts for the thrill, not the money. Trust is a weakness to her and love is a liability she left behind a long time ago. But her latest job puts her on the radar of Lucien Moretti, a mafia billionaire with a taste for control and a reputation for never letting anyone get away with crossing him. He was supposed to make her disappear. Instead, he took something she actually cared about — her dog, Cray Cray. A secret no one was ever supposed to know. Now, if she wants him back, she has to play his game. One house. One lie. One string of impossible missions designed to flush out his enemies. And one condition she never expected: she has to pose as his fiancée until the job is done. She hates every second. He enjoys every minute. But pretending to be wanted by a man like him starts to blur lines — especially when he whispers things in her ear… and means them. Neither of them is used to losing. But obsession doesn’t play fair. CONTENT WARNING: This story is strongly 18+. It delves into dark romance themes such as obsession, control, lust, and manipulation, with morally complex characters navigating dangerous desires. While this is a love story, reader discretion is advised.

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.

Owned: The Heiress’s Favorite Girl

Yanna Rivera is drowning. A hardworking college student in the gritty heart of Quezon City, she's burdened by family debts that threaten to pull her and everyone she loves under. Her life is a quiet litany of prayers and panic—until she makes one clumsy mistake that puts her in the path of a goddess from a different kind of heaven. Camille Navarro is the kind of woman Manila's elite whisper about in fear and awe. An heiress with a body built for battle, skin covered in ink, and eyes that see every weakness, she doesn't just own buildings; she owns people. And after Yanna ruins her priceless designer suit, Camille decides she's found a new acquisition. The deal is a devil's bargain: to pay off an impossible debt, Yanna must become Camille's perfectly obedient, live-in girlfriend. But this contract is written in clauses of pain and pleasure. Camille isn't just a dominant woman; she is a meticulous sadist who sees the secret, shivering masochist hidden deep inside Yanna's soul. What begins with kneeling on munggo beans soon spirals into a dark world of ropes and leather, of headlocks that feel like an embrace, and of punishments that bring Yanna a release she's ashamed to crave. Every order followed, every tear shed, every mark left on her skin only deepens their twisted bond. In a penthouse that serves as both a gilded cage and a private torture chamber, Yanna must confront the horrifying truth: she is falling for her tormentor. But as family secrets, jealous exes, and the wrath of the Navarro patriarch threaten to tear them apart, their brutal dynamic is put to the ultimate test. When submission is the only way to feel free and pain is the only language of love she understands, is this a debt that can ever truly be paid? Or will Yanna surrender her very soul to the one woman who hurts her so perfectly?
