Rescuing Him in Every Twisted World

Liesa Valtieri was just a psychology assistant—nothing glamorous. She picked up a case her supervising therapist had flat-out refused. That single decision dragged her into a long-term, extremely hands-on job: jumping through the fractured inner worlds of business tycoon Angus Romano, patching up the emotional blind spots of his split personalities, one world at a time. _________________________________________ World One: The CEO and His Personal Doctor The CEO leaned back dramatically on the hospital bed, eyes dark with grievance. "You only lost love," he said hoarsely. "But I lost a leg." Liesa glanced down at his medical chart, then at his perfectly intact limbs. "…Angus, it's just mild discomfort in your right leg." He stared at her in silence, then spoke with grave resolve. "If you don't love me," Angus said, " this leg can go." She rubbed her temples. "Love. I love you. Happy now?" He smiled, instantly healed. _________________________________________ World Two: Prison Kingpin and Rookie Guard "Do you like me?" he asked, casual as small talk. Liesa didn't even hesitate. "No." He nodded, "Alright. Then I'll escape tonight." "…Wait..." _________________________________________ World Three: Noble Lady and Her Devoted Attendant Liesa put a book in his hands, expression serious. "I just want you to study more," she said. "Grow up educated. Contribute to the society." The attendant hugged her waist, cheek pressed against her shoulder. "No," he said calmly. "I just want to stay with you and sleep." "..." _________________________________________ World Four: Heiress Wife and Her Husbands… Plural? Angmar Romano crossed his arms, tone cold but precise. He said, "Strictly speaking, I'm Liesa's husband. The wedding was just ruined by a certain jerk." Across the room, Durgus Romano smiled faintly. He said, "Sorry. First come, first served." Liesa stared at the two identical faces in front of her. "…OMG," she muttered, "I never would've guessed this world had two Mr. Romano. And they're twins." _________________________________________ World Five: City Lord's Wife and Her Scheming Husband Angus sighed, gaze gentle, voice full of regret. "All my life, I've only wanted one thing," he said softly."To put down the blade and be a kind, harmless man." Speechless, Liesa said, "Could you put down the knife on my neck first?" _________________________________________ ...

The Diagnosis That Could End An Empire

"Doctor Chen, you now know the thing that could start a war. The question is what will you do with that information?" Dr. Sophia Chen just lost everything. Fired from New York's most prestigious hospital after being framed for patient negligence she didn't commit. Her reputation shattered. Her career over before it really began. With student loans piling up and her medical license suspended pending investigation, she's desperate enough to accept a job nobody else would take: private physician to Dante Moretti, the twenty-nine-year-old mafia boss who controls half the underworld. One examination. That's all it takes for Sophia to see the truth everyone missed. The fearless mafia heir who commands armies is slowly dying. Huntington's disease. A degenerative neurological condition that will eventually destroy his mind and body. He's been hiding it for months, medicating in secret, pushing through tremors and memory lapses that nobody can see. If the underworld learns their king is weakening, a power war will consume everyone he cares about. Rival families will strike. His own people will turn on him. Dante needs Sophia to stay silent and keep him functional. He hires her on a contract: private physician, live-in staff, total discretion. He offers her a salary that will fix her problems. But the closer Sophia gets to understanding his condition, the closer she gets to understanding him. And the closer she gets to him, the more dangerous she becomes. Because in the underworld, a man's only vulnerability is also the thing everyone will target first. What Dante doesn't expect is for his doctor to become his anchor. What Sophia doesn't expect is to fall for the man behind the monster. When the truth about his condition starts to leak, when rivals close in, when her former hospital director becomes an enemy she never knew she had, Sophia has to choose. Run and save herself. Or stay and fight for the man who owns the underworld but might lose himself to the disease destroying his mind. The only way to save him is to stop running from what she is. The only way to save herself is to stop trying to heal what can't be fixed. And the only way they both survive is if they learn that sometimes the strongest empire isn't built on power. It's built on one person choosing to stay.

The Devil's Doctor: She Saved His Life. Now He Owns Hers.

"You saved my life, Doctor. That makes you mine to protect. Or mine to bury. Your choice." Dr. Mia Cole did not plan to save the man bleeding on her clinic floor at 2 AM. She just did what surgeons do. She saved him. But when morning light showed her the face of her unconscious patient on every crime news site in the city, Mia understood that her good deed had just signed her death warrant. Her patient was Dante Reeves. Head of the Reeves crime family. The most feared man in America. Now rival families want her dead because she knows his face, his blood type, and the scar above his left hip where she pulled out three bullets. Dante offers her one way out: live under his roof, treat his men, and keep her mouth shut. She will be protected. She will be watched. She will be his. What Mia does not tell him: her father was the forensic accountant who first tried to expose the Reeves empire fifteen years ago and was murdered for it. Mia quietly learned everything her father knew. When she starts seeing the numbers inside Dante's organization, she realizes someone on the inside is stealing billions and framing Dante for it. What Dante does not tell her: he already knows who her father was. He did not end up at her clinic by accident. But somewhere between her steady hands saving his life and her sharp mind saving his empire, he stops seeing her as a tool. She came in as his doctor. She became his accountant. But the thing that terrifies Dante Reeves most is that she is becoming something far more dangerous. She is becoming someone he cannot lose.
