romance

In Sicily, Italy, family is more than just blood... it’s power. Loyalty is earned with bullets, and betrayal costs lives. Two strong Mafia families, the Bellantis and the Morettis plan to unite through marriage. It’s a careful deal built on years of violence and tradition. Valentina Bellanti is the perfect daughter. She was chosen to be the bride, the symbol of peace between the families. Meanwhile... someone else has always wanted Matteo Moretti. The cold and ruthless heir of the Moretti family. Aurora Bellanti. The quiet sister. When Valentina was shot just before the wedding, only one choice remained. Aurora must take her sister’s place. But what happens when love, desire, and betrayal enter a deal that was never meant to be real? He had watched her for years, a silent predator claiming his prey even before she knew she was caught. He has already marked her. And now… he owns her.

In a universe where power costs pieces of your soul, Eric Heisenberg awakens reborn with fragments of a past life spent climbing to the top, only to die beneath its crushing weight. He knows exactly where this road leads. Absolute power demands absolute selfishness. So he wears masks, becomes whoever the moment requires, and calls it survival. But the deeper he goes, the less certain he is that anyone is left underneath. Thirty Pathways. Thirty royal families. A world teetering on the edge of the Cataclysmic Era, calm on the surface, yet already shifting violently beneath. Eric climbs anyway through betrayal, forgotten promises, and the slow erosion of everything that once made him human, chasing a dream he can no longer clearly remember. Will he carry the world again? Or will he finally choose himself… and break fate in the process?

« MATURE CONTENT » One learns the hard way how wrong this line actually is: 'Brains over brawn.' It all started when Viktor Redwood slaughtered ten thousand soldiers, outwitted the legendary Emperor Leo and his five mythical-class heroines, and put a bullet through his head in front of those heroines—all achieved using sheer intelligence. But even with all that, he lost everything, got too lazy to even care about anything, and was cornered by absolute strength—all while his corrupted incubus race slowly awakened within him, warping his body with demonic features he could barely hide—leading him to decide to at least kill those heroines alongside himself in a boom. Only for him to regress back into his fat, powerless, and cursed body, starting again. This time, with the knowledge that his dormant bloodline will manifest again, transforming him piece by piece. The bad thing about all this? Now he's been thrown back to his worst day—the trial where his fiancée Elena—the one who put a blade to his heart just a moment ago—framed him. But even that didn't stop him from becoming the villain who made heroes bleed and heroines breed. Unlike last time, when he had thwarted her plans, this time he chose to exile himself to prepare an army of his children and wives. Viktor's got the 100x Ability Rebate System: enter powerful women, steal their abilities, multiply them by 100, and return them in bundles when they become mothers with a ratio of 100% to wives and 50% to children. And with a corrupted bloodline that changes his human self to Incubus as he use system—he will get to have a new identity as Householder Incubus. However, this time, the issue is a small twist—where, even with such an overpowered skill, he has been thrown into a wasteland with his loyal mid-thirties nanny, Helena. Will a weak baron with a cursed bloodline slowly transforming his body be able to create his own army and become the Emperor? « What to Expect: => Lots of Lemons (Babies aren't going to pop from the sky, right?) => Fatherhood Journey (A young man to a father of an army of babies, funny x100) => Transformation from Lust to Responsibilities (Responsible Lust, TADA!) => Kingdom Building + Cute, smart children running the kingdom while parents are on vacation. (Vacation to add more babies to the collection to run the kingdom) => Children Handling Kingdoms (Rest assured, babies will be smart and proficient in all subjects you all failed.) => Teaching Lessons to Heroines Who Dared to Touch the MC (Not forgiveness but punishment by giving heroines' brothers and sisters.)

When Silence Finds You Aarav has mastered one thing in life—distance. He keeps conversations short, emotions buried, and moments unfinished. To everyone around him, he is simply quiet. But beneath that silence is someone terrified of connection, because he knows some moments never leave… no matter how badly you want them to. Then Meera enters his life. She isn’t loud. She doesn’t try to fix him. Instead, she notices the things nobody else does—the hesitation in his words, the way he pulls away before anything becomes real, and the loneliness hidden inside his silence. What begins as shared quietness slowly turns into something deeper: lingering glances, unfinished conversations, almost-touches, and emotions neither of them fully understands yet. But Aarav carries a past he never faced. Someone he left unanswered. A memory that still follows him like an unfinished sentence. And the closer he gets to Meera, the more he realizes: staying is far more frightening than leaving. Because some connections don’t change your life all at once. They change it slowly… one moment at a time. A slow-burn emotional romance about silence, vulnerability, healing, and learning how to stay when every instinct tells you to run.

Fuck me. I was just trying to pull my favorite character from a gacha game — Trafalgar du Morgain. The legendary swordsman. The cursed heir. The tragic side story no one cared to fix. Discarded by his clan. Humiliated by his siblings. Dead by suicide before the main plot even began. Guess who woke up in his body? Yeah. Me. Now I’m stuck in a game world that had zero lore, zero guidance, and zero chance of survival — except for the broken-ass Talent I somehow unlocked. I’ll kill, steal, lie, betray—whatever it takes. If survival means blood on my hands, then so be it. I didn’t choose this world, but I’m not going to let it chew me up and spit me out. I’ll climb over corpses if I have to. I’ll become the villain, the monster, the nightmare they never saw coming. Because in this world, there’s only one rule that matters: survive or die. And I’m not dying again. ~~~ Discord: https://discord.gg/tQ76KAUQfN

[WARNING: MATURED CONTENT (R18)] Penelope Anderson, long past the age society deems “marriageable” and burdened by rumor, devotes herself to securing a perfect match for her younger sister after experiencing an unsuccessful courtship. Everything proceeds as planned until Lord Anthony Ravenport, a notorious rake she once met under scandalous circumstances, becomes her sister’s most promising suitor. Though Penelope knows he is dangerously unsuitable, his status makes him impossible to refuse. As tensions rise, so does an undeniable attraction between Penelope and Anthony, one that threatens to ruin not only her sister’s future, but the fragile reputation of their entire family. *** “Why do you despise me so much that you consider everything I do unworthy of your blessings!” he demanded, eyes bright with frustration and restrained fury. “Because you are unworthy of one!” she yelled back, her gaze holding the same frustration as his. “You’re unworthy to be a husband, unworthy of my sister, unworthy of love, unworthy of everything! Your presence is only making things worse for Franseca,” “And your presence isn’t?!” he spat back, his composure gradually dwindling as seconds passed. “Just because you think you’re better off unmarried doesn’t make her one. She shows interest in me as much as I do her!” “Oh, is that so?” She countered, mockery and disbelief laced in her tone. “I know men like you. And men like you thrive on pity and selfishness, believing women to be nothing else but breeders and assets! How dare you speak of interest when all you think of is what benefit my sister possesses!” “I know women like you,” he retorted, keeping his voice likewise. “Women whose conclusions are based on personal grudges. Women who are blinded by rage, envy, and jealousy, disguised under safety. Women whose hearts are hardened by grief and sorrow, and all they can think of is affecting other people’s lives!” “How dare you,” Penelope seethed, expression cold in fury and her gaze heated in cold rage. No one has ever talked to her the way he did, and it annoyed her to such an extent that she could barely recognize herself anymore. “Oh, are you pained?” he snorted, mockery plastered in his expression. They were so close, so improperly close that their breath fanned against each other, eyes brightened in rage, chest rising and falling from such pressure. But neither of them seemed to realize. “You are… insufferable!” She spat. “And you’re… aggravating!” he returned, hot breath matching hers, as their chest rose and fell in exasperation. For a moment, the world revolved around heated glares and venomous expressions. Finally, those pair of grey eyes left the storm of dark-brown ones, descending on her lips that were only an inch away. Sensing his diverted attention, her breath stuttered in response, eyes descending against those inviting lips in return. Penelope’s heart raced wildly, breath puffing furiously as she swallowed the lump down her throat, unconsciously wetting her lips. “S-Stay away… from my sister,” She said, words barely above a whisper. Her heart raced, echoing in her ears, causing her to feel dizzy. His eyes darkened as they remained on those inviting lips. “You’ll be the end of me,” he whispered back. And in the blink of an eye, his lips crashed against hers. *** PS: BASED ON HISTORICAL SETTINGS AND TIMELINE. #Slowburnromance #enemiestolovers A/N: There will be slow updates for now, until I conclude “Surrendered To The Lord Of Sin”.

We've all had those moments in our lives that stop us cold and freeze us to the bone, pull the air from our lungs and force us to face ourselves. Moments that force us to re-evaluate all we've ever known about certain people situations or even ourselves. Sometimes it’s a sentence someone drops in passing. Sometimes it’s a mistake that leaves a scar. Sometimes it’s an unexpected kindness that softens a part of us we never knew was hard. And sometimes, it’s the quiet, painful realization that what we believed and built our world on, was either a test or was never true at all. Some lessons come gently, like a whisper brushing the edge of our awareness. Others land like a blow to the chest. And some hide inside stories, fictional or not, that reflect us so clearly it feels as though someone has read our thoughts before we voiced them. The Moment It Hit Me is a collection of those turning points. Each chapter captures a piece of life as we live it... messy, beautiful, painful, even hopeful. Many will teach you something about self-care, emotional strength, realities, and the strange, steady ways we grow. And if I’ve done my job, a few will stay with you long after you close the book, the way the most meaningful moments always do. This book is my attempt to share those moments with you: the ones I’ve lived through, witnessed, heard and fictionalised to mirror the truths we all carry. And who knows? Somewhere in these pages, something might hit you too. When it does, don’t keep it to yourself. Share your own life-changing moments. Someone out there needs to hear them, just the way you may need this book right now.
