The Houses We Lived In

purity_ngwono
After their mother dies of an overdose, ten‑year‑old Malcolm and his two younger sisters, Tiana and Maya, are shunted from a brief refuge with their grandparents to the home of a father who never wanted them. Richard Steven, a white man consumed by silent resentment, treats the three Black children as a financial burden. His wife, Susan, initially cold, begins to shower Tiana with unsettling attention—gifts, private talks, and visions of a “special future.” Malcolm alone notices the pattern, but he has no proof of what Susan is planning: to sell Tiana as a child bride to a wealthy family when she turns sixteen. Over the years, Malcolm becomes the siblings’ fierce protector, hiding his emotions behind a wall of quiet vigilance. Tiana, bright and beautiful, struggles with grief and the confusing warmth of a stepmother whose love feels like a trap. Maya, the youngest, clings to memories of their mother and the fleeting safety of Brenda—the only adult who truly cares. As Susan’s grooming deepens and Malcolm’s suspicions grow, the three children must rely on each other to survive a house where kindness is a mask and the greatest danger wears a smile. The Houses We Lived In is a haunting literary thriller about family, betrayal, and the unbreakable bond between siblings fighting to stay together before one of them is taken forever.

My Netori Life With System: Stealing Milfs And Virgins

[WARNING: MATURE EXPLICIT CONTENT R18] [LOTS OF SMUTS! NO NETORARE! NO YURI] [STRONG NETORI AND SMART MC] Mike Hawk was a menace, wearing his reputation like a finely tailored suit. But that name? It was the latest in a long line of aliases—the final one he would ever require. Before adopting the name Mike Hawk, he was known as El Sombra, a figure of dread in the blood-soaked alleys of Cardera—a shadow draining cartels dry before dawn. Prior to that, he operated under the alias Jin Mao in the underground markets of Suhen—a man whose cruelty was executed with such precision that powerful individuals not only lost their thrones but also their lives. They forgot they had ever occupied one. Before those identities, there was yet another name, another country, and yet another government left grappling with a cold case and the quiet shame of being outmaneuvered by one man wielding no army and showing no mercy. Caught. Jailed. Released. Renamed. Repeated. Until the United States of Erosyne buried him so deep that they believed it was permanent. But it wasn’t. Five years later, he emerged—leaner, quieter, and far more dangerous than anything they had ever contained. He required one final name. Something pristine. Something that no database on earth would ever recognize. Mike Hawk. The moment his boots hit Erosyne's pavement, reality glitched. [Dominance Authority System — Initialized.] [Objective: Claim desire from every woman who crosses your path.] The deeper the longing—housewives, girlfriends, sheltered girls who had never encountered a man like him—the stronger he became. Power, wealth, and influence followed him, as luck itself seemed to bend in his favor. Mike didn't call it a blessing. He called it leverage. Armed with the cold intelligence of a man who had outmaneuvered governments across four continents and navigated a system that rewarded every boundary he crossed, Mike Hawk didn’t start over. He simply resumed. Seduction replaced aggression. Patience replaced recklessness. And wherever he walked, desire followed like a shadow that belonged to someone else. Crime lords sensed their empires eroding from unseen sources. Politicians burdened by secrets became anxious without understanding the cause. Women who had dedicated years to constructing barriers found themselves unexpectedly unlocking doors. Yet Mike never pretended to be anything apart from what he was. "Rehabilitated?" he'd smirk. "I've been running circles around empires since before this country knew my name. Prison just gave me time to think of more fucked up things I could do soon." As fortunes crumbled under whispered promises and women who seemingly had it all surrendered willingly, Mike Hawk emerged—not as a redemption arc nor as a cautionary tale. But as a phenomenon, Erosyne had never been forewarned about: 'A phantom with a hundred pasts and one very deliberate future.' Every country thought they had seen the last of him. The United States of Erosyne doesn't even know it's already his. ---------------------------- What to expect: No NTR, No Yuri, No Yandere/Tsundere, A lot of Netori where MC steals someone's girl, PURE EVIL MC, and LARGE harem MC is not a simp as well Tags: R-18 | Mature | Adult | Smut | Large | Impregnation | Harem | Ecchi | Hentai | NSFW | Netori | Blowjob | Anal | Sex | Threesome | Foursome | Moresome | Hardcore | Feet | Thicc | Milf | Gilf | Virgin | Choking | Out doors | Humiliation | Nymph| Bdsm | Fetish | Blackmail| Action | Handsome MC | Overpowered and Smart MC | Pure Villain | Comedy | Dark | and many more...
