Do people only love beautiful girls? That's what I was told since childhood. But I'm not one of those, so I've come to terms with the fact that most men only see me as a friend. I try not to think about them. I have enough problems as it is. But I know how to find joy despite the troubles. I knew how. Until recently. Now I don't know how to go on, because my life was unexpectedly saved by a very attractive man. After meeting him, I lost my peace of mind. But this cold, healthy man probably doesn't even know the meaning of love. Or does he? What secrets is he keeping? Why does he need me when there are so many beautiful women like my sister? A story from her and from him.

I met a special man. People fear him, but I have learned to see his warm, loving heart behind his intimidating appearance. I saw in him not a monster, but a wonderful man. But will I be able to love him as much as he loves me? Will we be able to learn to understand each other? Life with such an unusual man threatens numerous difficulties. Maybe I will regret my choice? The second book in the Beauty and the Beast duology.

On your knees. Now… I caught my husband cheating, and he told me I was too gentle for his needs. Realizing that was the end of our relationship, I decided to give him the green light. But before that, I swore I’d get revenge and prove I’m not nearly as innocent as he thinks. And for that, the perfect choice is the broad-shouldered man who suddenly crossed my path…

— I could’ve forgotten you, — Podolskyi says, his gaze shamelessly locked on mine. — But it seems fate brought you right back to me… so I could settle the score. — Settle the score? — I ask flatly, hiding the fear twisting in my gut. Is he really going to punish me… for that slap? — Why not? — he smirks slowly. — You’re not getting away this time. We’re tied together now, in more ways than one. Sure, you could turn around and walk away… but I doubt your father, Natalia, would be too happy to see a video of his daughter dancing on a bar, showing off her juicy little assets. — Video? — I whisper, stunned. — Where did you get that?

- Why’d you call me? Keep it short and to the point. - If you want it short, - I pause, staring at the man’s indifferent face, - I’m pregnant. It’s definitely yours, so don’t go looking for someone else to blame. - So what are you going to do? - he asks, flustered, not like himself at all. - I wanted to ask you what we’re going to do, - I lean forward. - It’s your kid, so this problem concerns both of us. - Get rid of the problem, that’s all, - he snaps, piercing me with a cold stare. - You know as well as I do that it’s not what either of us needs right now. I’ve got my career, you’ve got your studies. And we’re not even together anymore to keep this pregnancy. It’d be stupid to get back together just for a kid.
