Authoress Ti Fe

On her wedding day, Isla faced a series of disasters no bride could ever imagine. Her fiancé, Jeremy, dropped a bombshell in front of the entire congregation, revealing an explicit video of her and another man—a video she had no knowledge of or clue how it came to be. To make matters worse, Jeremy took things further by proposing to her sister right then and there.
Devastated beyond belief, Isla ran out of the chapel—and his life—without looking back. She swore never to let herself be humiliated like that again and decided that love was no longer worth the risk. With her heart in pieces, she headed to the nearest bar to drown her sorrows in alcohol, where, in a haze of pain and anger, she met a handsome stranger. What was meant to be a fleeting escape turned into a one-night stand.
She disappeared without a trace, determined to sever all ties with Jeremy. That included quitting her job at his father’s company—she didn’t want anything to do with him or his family anymore. As she searched for a new beginning, fate led her into the path of Jaxon Waverly.
Jaxon Waverly—a billionaire CEO by day and a fearless Mafia leader by night. Isla becomes his secretary, unknown to her and Jaxon himself that she is Jaxon’s long-lost love and unforgettable one-night-stand. Determined to win her over, Jaxon will stop at nothing to make her his wife.


The Billionaire's Long-Lost Love

After eating, Isla felt noticeably better, even though she had barely touched her food. Jaxon couldn’t take his eyes off her, watching her every move and reaction.


“You don’t have to go back to work if you’re not ready,” Jaxon said, lifting his glass of wine and taking a sip.


Isla looked up, startled. “No. No,” she said, shaking her head. “I don’t want to go home. I’m fine, Mr. Jaxon. Really, I am.” She forced a wide smile, though it didn’t quite convince him. “I don’t want your pity or anything. I’m perfectly fine.”


“I’m not pitying you,” Jaxon replied firmly. “I just want to make sure you’re in the right state of mind to work.”


“I am,” Isla insisted. “Alex isn’t here, so it’s my responsibility to oversee your schedule and take care of you until he’s back.”


“Oh?” Jaxon raised an eyebrow. “You want to take care of me?”


Isla’s lips parted, and she stammered, “I… I didn’t mean it like that.”
