Written in the Heart: One Year. Five Million Dollars Zero Chance

henrysillas
"Sign here, Miss Parker. One year of your life for five million dollars." Grace Parker has exactly forty-seven dollars in her checking account, a broken oven in her tiny apartment, and dreams of opening her own bakery someday. What she doesn't have is any patience for arrogant rich men who think money solves everything. Enter Ryan Brooks, billionaire heir and the most insufferable customer who ever walked into her diner. He needs a wife. Not just any wife, but specifically Grace, because his dying father has one final demand: marry the girl from the diner, or lose a twelve-billion-dollar inheritance. Ryan thinks Grace is a gold-digger who manipulated his father. Grace thinks Ryan is a spoiled brat who's never worked an honest day in his life. But five million dollars could change everything for Grace, and Ryan refuses to let his father's fortune go to his backstabbing cousins. The deal is simple. Twelve months. Separate bedrooms. No feelings. Just act like the perfect wife in public while counting down the days until they can divorce and never see each other again. But nobody warned Grace that living with Ryan means facing his vicious society friends who see her as an intruder. Nobody told Ryan that his contract wife bakes cookies at midnight, stands up to bullies without flinching, and makes him laugh for the first time in years. When scandal erupts and secrets from both their pasts explode into the present, Grace and Ryan discover something terrifying: the contract has an end date, but what they feel for each other doesn't. Some agreements are made on paper. Others are written in the heart. And breaking this contract might hurt more than either of them can survive.

My Soul Created A System: The Defective Noble

Born into one of the most prestigious noble families of the Eldros Empire, Kael Ashborne should have been a prodigy. Instead, he was branded a defect. Physically weak, plagued by a mysterious illness, and unable to wield power like his gifted siblings, Kael grows up neglected—cast aside by his family, ignored by his teachers, and bullied within the academy. In a world where strength defines worth, weakness is unforgivable. Yet what no one knows is that Kael’s body is not failing him by chance. It is failing because his soul is too strong. On the brink of death at fifteen, Kael’s sealed memories awaken—alongside a damaged system created by his own soul in a previous life. Not a gift from the gods. Not a blessing of fate. But a desperate mechanism born solely to keep him alive. With a body that threatens to collapse under his growing soul and a system that enforces cruel limits, Kael must walk a path slower and more dangerous than any other. Each step forward risks destruction. Each mistake could be fatal. Rejected by blood. Surrounded by enemies. Supported by only a single loyal maid. This is not the rise of a chosen hero. This is the survival of a noble deemed unworthy to exist—and the terrifying truth of what happens when a world mistakes restraint for weakness.
