She works at a popular restaurant. He is her boss—successful, charismatic, and dangerously attractive. Between them, there is only work, banter, and a fine line that should never be crossed. But one night changes everything. Now, they are both pretending like nothing happened... until a few months later, when she discovers a truth that will turn her world upside down.

- Who the hell are you? Why are you helping me? - I'm your fiancé's brother. - What, brother? I clenched my fingers tightly into a fist, my blood boiling with rage. What the hell kind of brother? I don't have a fiancé! So he can go to hell. - And you seriously think I'll accept your help? I'd rather spit in your face than take your handouts! Get out of my café and out of my life! - I've already paid off your debt. You have no choice but to become mine. - Not for anything in the world.

If someone had told me in advance what a disaster my transfer to the main holding company would turn out to be, I would have laughed in their face. Now it's no laughing matter. My new boss is a real demon incarnate. And I, without looking, voluntarily signed a slavery contract with him, and now my main mission is to survive at work and not kill my boss before the end of the working day. Everything would be fine, but we are connected by the past, and it's only a matter of time before Knyazev finds out about my five-year-old secret...

When I was stabbed in the back, I decided that the best thing to do was to get drunk and forget. But I didn't know that after that night with a handsome man, the situation would come to a head. When I realized I was pregnant, I decided to find him. But when we met, I didn't recognize him as that handsome blond boy. And he was not very happy about the news of my impending fatherhood and called that night a mistake...

“You're playing with fire now, girl!” Yarosh grabs my arm above the elbow and pulls me towards him. “I can destroy you in a split second.” “No doubt about it! That's the only way people like you operate!” I scream at him. Then why didn't you, being so rich, take Zlata from me right away? Do you even know how hard it is for children to survive in orphanages? Daniel is silent, just looking at me with a murderous look. “This is not the time or place to discuss this,” he replies coldly, "My men will come here tomorrow morning and take Zlata away. I give you the right to go with her. You will stay with her until I prove my paternity, and then you will relinquish custody.

Our first meeting was unexpected. I decided to take a chance and let you touch my heart. It's a pity it didn't end well. I thought that was it. I would forget you like a bad dream, but one day I found out who you really are. Did it change anything in my attitude towards you? Not at all. In my eyes, you are still a bastard, and nothing more. But when fate gives me the opportunity to see you again, I will not refuse. Not because I care about you. But because I want to prove to myself that I can do anything. Even in spite of you.

Why do you need me?" I ask quietly and doubt whether the Emir heard me. - "Too much honor for a Tychy's litter. - “You're right, Snow White,” the Emir leans toward me, but this time he doesn't even try to touch me. - "I wouldn't run after a litter like that. But for the enemy's daughter... and an illegitimate one at that... I look up at him sharply and can't believe my ears. Does he know who I am? How is this possible?“ ”Where are you from..." my voice trembles, and I find it difficult to put the words together. - Are you surprised, Snow White?" His smile makes me break out in a sticky sweat. - I can see that you are. Now we're going to play a slightly different game. I'm sure you'll like it...

I wanted to help my friend, so I agreed to work as an Italian interpreter for a businessman for just one day. I did everything that was asked of me and said goodbye to him for good that evening. But the next day, he came to me with a new proposal - to fly with him to Italy to sign a contract, because his business partner, whom I had apparently charmed, was insisting on it. I wanted to refuse, but he came at a very inopportune moment, when I found myself in a difficult situation and urgently needed money. So now I’m flying to Italy with him, and I don’t know what to expect from him or from his partner - a strange old Italian man.

Years ago, I broke his heart because I wanted more than he could give. Now, I have it all: a wealthy fiancé, a wedding dress, and... a life that has turned into a living hell behind its perfect facade. I thought I had left the past behind forever, but fate had other plans. He is back in my life...

I’m so done with these interviews and bosses who think they can get handsy just because I’m wearing a skirt. Like, hello? It’s your dress code! I’m almost 30, and here I am, running around like a college kid trying to land a job! Well, I finally found one. And turns out… I found more than just a job.

In a rush to get to class, I cut off a stranger on the road, and to avoid dealing with him, I pretended to be a foreigner. But it turned out he was my new teacher, and it seems he wants to get back at me for that prank. Now, instead of an interesting internship in a modern office, I have to go to a remote village, live among cows and goats, and dig in the dirt like a mole. But I have a plan: if I can’t get anything done, there’s a good chance they’ll send me home. That’s exactly what I’m counting on as I start my game.

– Don't do that again! – I point my finger at his chest. – Never! Don't do it! – I break free from his grip and immediately head for the house. – We're not done talking, little Sophie, – I hear him say behind me. He returned to her life unexpectedly – bold, attractive, and dangerous to her heart. One kiss from him is enough to break down all the barriers she has built around herself for eight years. She swears to herself not to give in again, but will she have the strength to run away from the man she is so desperately trying not to love? Especially when her heart has long since chosen him. And will he be able to accept rejection when he is ready to fight for her to the end?

HE: Denys Tarnovskyi, a member of the capital’s elite, a successful businessman, and the owner of a booming IT company. He is handsome, a macho man, and a notorious womanizer—yet still one of the most eligible bachelors. ​SHE: Sofiia Iskrytska, a young single mother and a "gray mouse." An employee in the finance department and one of dozens of his subordinates, she carefully hides her vibrant and wealthy past. ​She is not his type, and he—like men in general—does not interest her at all! But someone has decided to turn these two into a couple.

He’s her target — the one she must gather intel on… and then vanish without a trace. Simple enough. Or it should have been. Until she accidentally became his fake fiancée. Until his brother started suspecting her of every mortal sin. And until their long-time rival took a sudden, dangerous interest in her. Falling in love was never part of the plan. But in a mission like this, keeping secrets is easy — keeping her heart out of it is the real challenge.

— I don’t remember… Are you really my husband? — I ask, eyeing him with suspicion. He frowns. — Unfortunately, yes. Why do you doubt it? — I thought you’d be… nicer. Your wife was in a car crash, barely survived, lost her memory — and instead of a kiss on the cheek, I’m getting baseless accusations. He blinks, clearly thrown off. — You want a kiss? Did you hit your head harder than we thought? You’ve caused way too much trouble for me to be kissing you. — Then why haven’t you divorced me?

— So, you're pregnant? — As you can see, — I gesture pointedly at my belly, — I informed HR about the pregnancy, and as far as I know, they’ve already found my replacement. I’ve brought all the medical documents. The man seems not to hear a word. Lost in thought, he runs a hand along his short beard. — When are you due? — In two months. — And you're unmarried, — he states. I press my lips together. I don’t want to talk about the bastard I once called “my love” — the one who vanished the moment I told him I was pregnant, rejecting both me and the baby. With a heavy sigh, I admit: — I’m single. I’ll raise the child on my own. — Perfect, — a smile flashes across his face. Seeing my confusion, he quickly adds: — I mean, I’m sorry to hear that. But… I have a proposition. I’ll pay you — if y

She fell in love with her older brother's best friend when she was just a girl. Years later, she finally turned that childhood dream into a reality. They had incredible chemistry and a night to remember, but now she’s pregnant. And him? Well... he didn't realize right away that she was his destiny. The best friend's little sister and a certified playboy. What could possibly go wrong? "Guys, looking at you just makes me sad... it's like you're not even whole men anymore. Your women have you twisted around their fingers and kept on short leashes." "Yeah, right, Yurii! Your time will come too!" "Don't hold your breath! With your 'inspiring' examples right before my eyes, I’d rather jump off a cliff into freezing water." "Oh, Yurii, never say never!"

The day I met a drop-dead gorgeous millionaire, I gave him a black eye… and smashed an electric guitar over his head. Turns out, I had a very good reason. Because this jerk had made a bet with his business partner—about me. And apparently, instead of calling the police, he decided to pay me a visit… in person. Looks like he’s dead set on winning that bet and proving that any woman can be bought—it’s just a matter of price. Well, he’s in for a very rude awakening. But out of all the women in the city… why did he choose me? I’m definitely not the type bored rich men usually go for. So what does he really want?

"She is innocent, yet her life was shattered by a ruthless lawyer who knows no mercy. Her studies, her career, her peace—all gone. A debt she never incurred has become a crushing burden. And just as Liya finally gathers the strength to move on, fate deals a cruel hand: the very man who destroyed everything reappears in her life. How do you survive when your enemy becomes a part of your world?"

The whole internet is obsessed with Alina’s supposed affair… with her new rector. There’s just one problem—there is no affair. But once the rumor mill starts, there’s no stopping it. Now anything—anything—can be twisted into “proof” by eager gossip hunters. So what do you do when you suddenly find yourself at the center of a scandal? In a world where tabloids have been replaced by social media, and every passerby with a smartphone can play paparazzi—snapping a photo and sending it straight to an anonymous Telegram channel just waiting for fresh dirt on you… How do you fight a story everyone is already dying to believe?
