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

Jaxon drove into the underground parking garage, the hum of his engine echoing off the concrete walls. As his car came to a stop, his eyes landed on Alex’s vehicle parked not far away. 


Alex stood nearby, flanked by his driver, Ray and a sizeable group of their men, all poised and ready. Raising a brow in surprise, Jaxon stepped out of his car smoothly. Alex didn’t waste time and approached him. 


“Boss,” Alex greeted with a slight nod. 


“I wasn’t expecting you to be here,” Jaxon remarked. 


Alex nodded again. “Yeah, I should’ve called. I’m feeling better now,” he replied, but Jaxon wasn’t buying it. 


“I don’t think that’s the whole story,” Jaxon said, his voice laced with skepticism. “But if you’re set on keeping it from me, I’ll play along for now.” 


Before Alex could respond, the low rumble of engines filled the garage. Two sleek, black vans sped into view, coming to a sharp halt a short distance away.
