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

Isla and Maggie burst into laughter, their chuckles filling the room. Maggie rambled on about Jaxon—how he’d been a bit of a clumsy oaf in his younger days and how, against all odds, he’d managed to win the heart of a woman like Isla.


Meanwhile, Danika set the table for dinner. Just as they settled into their seats, Isla’s phone buzzed against the table.


“Sorry,” she murmured, reaching for it. A quick glance at the screen—Sophie. Isla stood and stepped away from the table to take the call.


“Hey,” she greeted, a wide smile on her face. But instead of a cheerful reply, she was met with a shaky sniff.


“Hey,” Sophie’s voice trembled, and Isla’s brows knitted together in concern.


“Are you crying?” she asked, alarmed. Another sniff.


“I know I shouldn’t be calling… I know you’re with Jaxon, but I can’t keep this in anymore,” Sophie’s voice cracked, and Isla’s heart clenched.
