Clayton Gallagher

"I'm at your mercy, didn't you know that, my adorable wife?" ***** Rain Clayton’s life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers she’s suddenly married to a billionaire named Alexander Lancaster, a powerful and dangerously captivating man who wants their marriage over before it even begins... Raised by a family that never cared for her and desperate to avoid a twisted arranged marriage, Rain seizes this unexpected twist of fate. Her new husband might be a cold-hearted billionaire, but he's her only escape. Yet Alexander demands a swift divorce. Refusing to lose her one chance at freedom, Rain strikes a risky bargain to keep their marriage alive, even if it means playing by Alexander’s rules. She just has to convince him to want her around—FOREVER. Weeks into their unexpected arrangement, Rain begins to see through Alexander’s icy exterior. But one night, she’s taken by surprise. “What are you doing?” Rain burst out, eyes wide as Alexander casually slid into her bed. “Performing husbandly duties,” he smirked. “You can’t stay here! It’s against the 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...

Excerpt "You can drop this stupid act now, Mr. Yates. I am not going to fall for it." A frown marred his features. "What are you talking about?" "Oh, stop with your pretentious act, it makes me sick. You want nothing to do with a brainless socialite such as myself, so I am not even going to delude myself that this sham would work." He remained silent for a few moments, then smiled. "This works for me then. It means you are smart enough to not expect anything from me then. From what I am to understand, this marriage would be of great benefit to us both in that case." Iris seethed internally. What an insufferable man. "You flatter yourself too much, sir. My time is too precious for it to be wasted stroking your ego. If you came here just for that ridiculous charade of yours, I suggest you leave now." His gaze hardened. "I hope you don't forget what you just said to me. It has been duly noted, miss Clayton. I really do hope your words do not come back to bite you." "I hope you say the same for yourself as well, Mr. Yates." * * * * Iris Clayton agrees to marry a man she was engaged to, but had never met formally. She is reluctant, but agrees to do so to save the legacy of her mother. She however finds herself disliking him immediately, to her dismay. She also finds herself entangled in the web of secrets in the family, with no hope of escape.

Hi, Please this book would be deleted and reuploaded later next year. I want to focus on my other book, "The Alpha's Twins Have Different Fathers" first. Thank You. ********* Darragh Gallagher, the first son of the president, has heard a number of hush-hush rumours about his wife, so he disguised himself as a substitute bodyguard to see what he could find out, only for the dumb younger sister to lay a false claim on him as the one responsible for her pregnancy, making him lose his job on the first day. But what happens when both he and his mother could hear the girl's thoughts and both of them end up doing everything that she wanted? What happens then when they find out the truth about the real father of her babies through her thoughts? What are they going to do then? Just what are the odds? *************************** Kenia's mother-in-law threatened to bring another wife for her son because she has been unable to give her a grandchild. After several trying but still failing to conceive for her husband of three years, Kenia tricked her teenage sister into becoming a surrogate mother for her husband in secret. But after she too became pregnant weeks later, she decided to get rid of her sister and the bastard in her womb altogether. * 1524 In an attempt to help her sister, Catriona Byrne became the catalyst that sent her to an early death.  At the gallows for her own dismemberment after avenging her, Catriona smiled as she happily awaited the swift death.  But being reincarnated into the pregnant body of her sister in a new world was something that Cat could never imagine. So, not wanting to face the same fate as the host body, she decided to find a new father for her baby. And that was why she pointed to her father's new bodyguard as the one responsible for her pregnancy. ******************** Note: This author would not give warnings for any scene in the book. So please make sure that you're in the right frame of mind before you start reading.  Thank you and sorry in advance.

Mother Celeste: Written By Darius Clayton In a world where fame is a double-edged sword, Celeste becomes a global phenomenon after her meteoric rise in the music industry. At just 24 years old, she is pulled into The Circle, an elite and secretive cult with sinister ties to the entertainment industry. Her fame soars, but at a steep price—her freedom, her body, and the sacrifices of the life she once envisioned for herself. Over the years, Celeste battles the trappings of power and control, forging fragile connections with those around her. Her younger sister, Rollie, becomes a rising star in her own right, but at the cost of her own dreams of family. Her estranged husband, Liam, fights to love her despite the insurmountable wall of secrets dividing them. And Eleanor Vaughn, a mysterious woman with complete control over Celeste’s career, proves to be both her benefactor and greatest tormentor. Through devastating betrayals, hidden pregnancies, and the unbearable weight of her decisions, Celeste learns the painful truth: she will always be bound to the life she created, one of sacrifices and shadows. When Marcus and Julian, figures from her past, return to reveal shocking secrets, Celeste’s tenuous grasp on her world begins to unravel. As she pens her Pop Rock masterpiece, In Circles, Celeste attempts to reclaim her voice and identity, even as The Circle tightens its grip. Her fame reaches unprecedented heights, rivaling the likes of Michael Jackson, but it comes with the crushing realization that she is both a legend and a prisoner of her own creation. Spanning a decade, Mother Celeste explores themes of power, love, sacrifice, and self-acceptance. In the end, Celeste is left standing as a symbol of resilience and survival in the face of impossible choices. Her life, riddled with tragedy and triumph, is both an inspiration and a cautionary tale. Her journey is one of strength and sorrow, proving that even in the darkest corners of fame, there is a light to be found in embracing one’s true self.

'From the ashes we shall rise.' Summary : Compound-Z. The bioweapon developed by China, using an ancient virus strain discovered beneath the Ice Sheets in Tibet’s Guliya Glacier. An outbreak in the bioweapons facility infected the whole city. The City could not be taken back but thankfully the PLA destroyed the whole city before the zombie virus could spread. The problem; after a year, the samples of Compound-Z was found being auctioned in the Bioweapon black market. Before Clayton Nord shut the whole thing down the moment he first discovered it, an unknown number of global players had already gotten hold of the sample, Russia among them. Now all of them are working to find the cure to the Compound-Z, because anyone who has the cure will have huge power and influence over the world, using the cure as leverage. Now Russia is threatening to release Compound-Z into major population centers in the world as they are losing the war with Ukraine. After a thorough analysis of the consequences of the Compound-Z being released into the world, Clayton Nord forms Operation Phoenix to prepare the US for the possibility of a world wide zombie apocalypse. He does everything he can to make sure that some of human civilization survives through the crisis without losing all of humanity's progress over the years. MILESTONES: OPERATION PHOENIX must hit certain milestones to encourage me to continue after the first month. The milestones are to be passed by the end of the month. And they are: Gain 30 readers following/collections by the end of November . Gain a 50 favorites/power stones by the end of November. Gain 20 reviews and ratings by the end of November. For the First Month these are the Milestones that must be passed to encourage me to continue the story. There is no requirement to support me by sponsoring the work with money for the first month but it would help greatly, for me to focus on writing the Novel. What to expect: Crazy action scenes with zombies. People like to read more about the first outbreaks through an ordinary person’s POV the moment the outbreak occurs. So in Phase One you can read the outbreak stories through multiple viewpoints in various places. Phase One would have the largest word count because of that. And some characters may not live through Phase One. Zombies are the antagonists but there will be other fleshed out human antagonists that pose a serious threat to Operation Phoenix further into the story. You will get to see the moment at start when the outbreak happens till the Zombie apocalypse ends. The struggle Clayton Nord, as commander of Operation Phoenix, faces to ensure that most of the population of the USA survives through the apocalypse, a task that is almost impossible. Rich world building and lore with unique characters. Plan for the Novel: New chapters are released every Monday. I will try to keep the timing consistent. At the end of the series I want to convert it into an ebook to sell on Amazon. The end product might be different than the chapters I have published as I try to improve upon them. Thank You so much for spending your time reading my work. You can support me via https://ko-fi.com/hughstarling

Raised in an inharmonious family, she had to get used to always living a solitary life in her residence located in elite housing.

However, Keiyona's life, which is used to living alone, begins to fill up with the presence of an established man who suddenly occupies an empty house in front of her house. The presence of the man really changed Keiyona's character into a nosy girl. In fact, he often teases the man just because she feels bored with his empty life. Who would have thought that her nosy nature, which was just to fill the boredom, made Keiyona start to like an established man who turned out to already have a fiancée. Her heart was completely broken, until a trauma that she had experienced again appeared above the surface of his heart. His name is Clayton Regan Stein, as the suspect of Keiyona's biggest heartbreak and the cause of the recurrence of trauma that has never happened for a very long time.
