Some people simply need a long time to truly let go of someone who was once their sanctuary. ​For Nazma Xanthe, letting go isn't just about forgetting a name; it’s about escaping the shadows of her own failure. Choosing a junior high school far away from her childhood friends was Nazma's way of "dying" to be born again. She wants to erase the traces of the girl who once hurt those she loved—the girl branded as 'mentally unstable' by the one person she trusted most. ​Harvey. ​The ex-boyfriend who left behind both a scar and a burning grudge is now the sole target in Nazma’s sights. She has vowed to shatter Harvey’s arrogance and surpass his English skills at her new, prestigious school. ​However, amidst her ambition to build a new fortress upon her torn pink carpet, Nazma is met with an unexpected glitch: Zemiro Guilherme. A boy with a name that’s impossible to spell, a quiz score that threatens her rank, and a smile that slowly begins to dismantle her escape plan. ​Will Nazma succeed in her revenge against Harvey, or will she find herself trapped in a new kind of "battlefield" called feelings?

Carmen Castilo was the only daughter of one of the most powerful mafia dons in the city—until the night her father was shot in front of her. At his funeral, while the family mourns, Carmen disappears. Kidnapped from her own home and drugged, she wakes beneath blinding lights in an underground auction where the most powerful criminals in the world gather to bid—not on weapons or territory, but on her. To them, Carmen isn’t just a woman. She’s the last piece of her father’s empire. The final bid reaches a staggering one billion dollars. The buyer is Nico Romano—the stepbrother she betrayed five years ago. Once cast out of the family after Carmen accused him of treachery, Nico returns more powerful, more ruthless, and determined to collect the debt he believes she owes him. Escape is impossible. Alone, stripped of allies, and trapped under Nico’s control, Carmen is forced to play by his rules—a calculated system of rewards and consequences he calls repayment. But Nico isn’t the only one playing a game. While he believes he owns her, Carmen is quietly rebuilding what was stolen from her. Someone murdered her father, and the deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes that his death—and her reason for getting Nico’s exiled—may have been part of the same carefully planned conspiracy.

And the one man who might damn her soul…may also be the only ally powerful enough to help her win. *Please this is a mafia story.

The dance came to an end with a final spin. Greyson gave a polite smile, as he admired the lady before him. Dydra returned the smile, excusing herself. Her eyes darted around the ballroom, in search of something or someone. A frown knitted on her face, and she left the ballroom, going to the garden to relax. "Letting other men touch you?" a lazy voice came from behind her. Dydra's whole body shook. She need not turn around, before knowing who it was. Though the voice came out lazy, there was an unspoken rage hidden inside. "I-its not—" her voice shook. Her heart ran a thousand miles, as she broke into a cold sweat. "Need I remaind you, who you belong to?" he asked, his voice calm and still. But Dydra knew it was a deceiving calm. A stillness, that makes the storm oblivious. She parted her trembling lips, tending to speak, but no words came out. Suddenly, she felt something grip her waist tightly, and her eyes uncontrollably closed. "Dydra," his deep voice came as a whisper. "Who do you belong to?"

The only game in my life that makes me laugh: The Lands of The Lunerra... I played this game for six thousand hours in three years, and the day I thought I had done everything I could in this game, I felt a great emptiness inside me. I thought nothing in my ordinary and monotonous life could make me happier than when I played this game. But it didn't take long for me to realize that I was wrong with an e-mail I received the night I finished the game. ---- Hi! Thank you to everyone who came to read this story. There are two things I want to tell you. First of all, I first started writing this about two years ago, but I was writing in my native language, Turkish, and on a different site. But unfortunately, the website where I published the series came to the brink of collapse. While I was thinking about where to publish the series, I remembered Webnovel and here I am. So this is my first English novel and I believe I will make mistakes while translating. Please forgive me for these if you encounter some of them. I will do my best. Second... yes, while writing this novel I was inspired by most of the novels I've read so far. Like TNE, that novel is a pure diamond for me and I don't think I will ever reach the level of that thing. So I want to say the first few chapters may feel familiar to you, but I'll do my best to smooth it out. Discord: https://discord.gg/eRZTrv6Y49

This man began as a completely unremarkable defensive midfielder. Then, by chance, he learned a bit about organizing play... then a bit about carrying the ball forward... and then free kicks too. And just like that, the football world got lively. Kaká and Cristiano Ronaldo loved playing with him—handsome, eloquent, and most importantly, the guy who covered their backs so they could focus on attacking up front. Messi had a love-hate relationship with him. Every time he played against Barcelona, he got fired up—and somehow always dragged Messi into playing brotherly football. All number 8s loved playing alongside him—his coverage was everywhere, his pressure resistance was second to none. He was the ultimate shield in front of center-backs, the perfect partner to midfielders, and the strongest wall behind the forwards. Xabi Alonso was his mentor, Mourinho his boss, and Pogba? Just his junior. Whenever a reporter asked him how he got so good, he'd always reply: “Train like hell. Give it everything you’ve got!” Thank you for the support, friends.
