Luthen Escapes Tractor Beam

Betrayed. Humiliated. Bleeding dignity across marble floors. Arielle Vaughn had the perfect life—or so she thought. High society’s golden girl, groomed for power, poised for marriage. Until her picture-perfect boyfriend shattered everything in one cruel, public betrayal. Whispers arose and so did camera flashes. Running was the only thing Ari's shattered heart could think of and she did so out of instinct. What she didn’t expect was to fall into the arms of a hot sexy-looking stranger. His aura gave of mystery, danger in his eyes and secrets in his silence. Leon Mikhailov doesn’t save women. He eliminates problems. In his world, vulnerability is a weakness. Emotions are weapons. But there’s something about the way Ari doesn’t cry, the way she bleeds without begging, that cuts him in a place bullets never reached. He should walk away but instead, he makes her a proposition. Three months. Be his fiancée. Play the part while helping him settle a score that has nothing to do with love ,and everything to do with power. No questions. No feelings. No promises. But in the glittering chaos of the elite...where kings wear tailored suits and criminals toast with champagne, just fake kiss can start a very real war. And love? That’s the most dangerous lie of all. ---

Five years ago, everything shattered. An accident. A baby. A goodbye with no turning back. She vanished from the world she once knew, pregnant and alone. No degree. No future. Just her, a secondhand car, and a daughter who calls her “mama” between cheap takeout meals and midnight Didi runs. By day, she's invisible. By night, she drives circles around a city that’s too big for broken dreams. She’s used to passengers coming and going, until he gets in her car. The man she once loved. The father of her child. But she doesn’t recognize him. And he? He never forgot her. That man is Kellan Elliott, young CEO of the elite Elliott Group. Cold, untouchable, and far too late. When fate throws Rachel and Kellan back into the same orbit, things don’t explode. They simmer. Kellan doesn’t know the truth. Rachel doesn’t want his pity. And caught in the middle is a little girl who keeps calling the stranger in the suit “Daddy.” But uncovering the truth could break all of them apart... or finally bring them the family they never got to be. This is a secret baby story. One person. One city. One car. One beloved. I’ve driven every road in this city. Will you ever find your way back to me?

Under constant surveillance, burdened by secrets, and forced into one last mission, she’s ordered to infiltrate the CEO’s inner circle. Spy. Obey. Survive. Yet the deeper she sinks into this new life, the harder it becomes to separate masks from faces. The enigmatic CEO sees through her. Former allies return as threats. And haunting memories crack the walls she's built around herself. Because Ari never truly escaped. She only traded cages. In a world where loyalty is currency and betrayal is survival, can a former assassin carve out peace — or is her past simply waiting to finish the job?
