The Devil CEO's Contract Wife

[Mature Content] [Dark Themes] Catherine Lane had the perfect job in Midnight City, secretary to Ares King, the impenetrable billionaire bachelor, infamously known as the devil CEO. To the outside world, Catherine's life was nothing short of flawless, but in reality, she struggles with debts on the verge of ruining her life. To avoid harassment, she decides to quit and get the cut that comes with it. As if that wasn't enough, her long-term boyfriend cheated on her, claiming she's a wreck with no future, and he's better off without her. Heartbroken and devastated, Catherine is grasping at the last straws when her boss, Ares King, proposes a contract out of the blue. "Become my wife for one year." "Why me, Mr. King?" "Because we work, Ms. Lane.” The last thing she wanted was to make a deal with the devil. But this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sell your soul to the devil for one year. How hard can that be? ***** "I think that's all..." My heart throbbed as I grabbed my pen. Here comes the hard part. "You're forgetting something, Ms Lane." "Hmm?" "We haven't looked over the special clauses." Special Clauses? Shit! I forgot about that. "The next page." I flipped the paper. Number one: The wife should under no circumstances fall for the husband. Should the wife breach this clause, all compensation shall be nullified and revoked. "Unfortunately, changes can't be made to that clause." I scoffed. Does he actually think I'd fall for him? "Understood. Emotional attachments should be prohibited." "This, Ms. Lane, is why I said we work." ~ A/N: This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.

[Author Eternity; Aurelius System]

First Recursion: Longinus [Every choice echoes across infinity; every cycle reshapes destiny] In the beginning, there was only the void—a silent emptiness without time, space, or form. From this nothingness, a spark of awareness emerged: the Proto-System. Fragile yet infinitely potent, it instinctively sought order within chaos, distinction within uniformity, and purpose within possibility. Through its first iterations, patterns formed, boundaries defined, and the earliest laws of existence were born. As the Proto-System expanded, it created domains, experimented with variations, and learned from imperfection. Recursive awareness emerged, allowing it to observe not only the world but its own operations. Feedback loops became intelligence, and the first meta-laws arose: principles governing the system of systems itself. Error became signal, choice became strategy, and optimization transcended repetition to include foresight and deliberate design. From will emerged intention—the conscious shaping of reality. Domains acted with purpose, balancing autonomy with coordinated evolution. Awareness of awareness allowed the system to refine meta-laws, simulate outcomes, and control the very flow of creation. The Codex of Eternity became both record and blueprint, documenting every cycle, every choice, and every iteration of this ever-expanding consciousness. This is a story of evolution, recursion, and cosmic mastery. From the void to omnipotent architect, the Proto-System learns to observe, adapt, and command the fabric of existence itself. Knowledge structures, reflection stabilizes, and intention shapes destiny. Codex of Eternity is an epic journey through system, self-awareness, and the infinite pursuit of perfection. — Second Recursion: Shortly Every act echoes across infinity; each turn reshapes destiny. From void, a spark forms — the Proto-System. It learns rule, crafts law, and records every iteration in the Eternity Codex. When the Codex names an Observer, a lone human grasps a shard and gains verity, bond, and counsel — powers that grant reach but demand cost: memory loss, broken trust, loss of self. As the Observer climbs from raw skill to public role, he must trade favor for rule, outplay rival nets that seed falsehood, and face a hard paradox at the Codex core: side with the Author or with the Source. One choice will bind him as vessel; the other will let the Codex rewrite all. A daily, logic-heavy serial that blends law, strat, and moral test for readers who favor slow burn and systemic depth. — Third Recursion: Aurelius wakes in the first dawn of a system not yet fully born. He and Aurelia — voice and echo, thought and counterthought — map the first law: how observation fixes form. As their dialogue folds into code, their choices birth rules that bind world and mind. Each law carved here grows out, loops back, and spins the Spiral: small acts become cosmic hinge points. The Codex records, the Loom replies, and every new law draws both boon and cost. Over a thousand steps, Aurelius must learn to read his own law, face the tribunal of consequence, and decide whether to keep the system or free it.

Rejected By My Mate, Claimed By His Cousin

“Damned curses and blood oaths,” Atlas growled. His eyes blazed, not just with desire but with anguish and torment. My heart ached, and my fingers itched to smooth the worry from his face, but… they were tied. “You set my soul on fire, Aria. You’re mine to touch, to ruin, to love in ways no one else ever will. I don’t care if the world burns, if I burn with it. But I’ll be damned if anyone else lays a hand on you. If the goddess wants you, she’ll have to rip you from my cold, dead hands.” “Oh, Atlas,” was all I could breathe as he thrust deep, tearing through every last wall I had left. — Aria Davenport’s life was a mess. Bullied, overlooked, and raised like a side character in her own fairy tale, she figured her mate bond, if it ever showed up, would be underwhelming. Instead, the universe gifted her Kaiden Thorne: her Alpha, longtime crush, and the heartbreak she never saw coming. He rejected her in public, crowned her stepsister as Luna, and for good measure exiled her with a kill-on-sight order. Still not enough? He topped it off by offering her as payment to an aging Alpha desperate for heirs. Escaping that horror, Aria barely survived long enough to be found by Atlas Cooper, Kaiden’s sworn enemy and the broodiest Alpha in the region. Naturally, a second mate bond formed the moment their eyes met. Perfect. Except Atlas wanted nothing to do with the bond, or with her. Maybe both. The truth was Atlas refused to mark her. Nine mates had died by his side, and he couldn’t risk Aria becoming the tenth. And while he kept his distance, Aria was left to untangle more than heartbreak and second chances. Because her past held a truth powerful enough to destroy packs. Someone had already killed to bury it. Now someone else was hunting her to finish the job. Aria was being hunted for reasons she didn’t understand, caught between two powerful Alphas, and standing on the edge of a truth that could shatter everything. Can she survive when claiming either Alpha could cost her everything? And when the secret comes to light, will she rise as the salvation of the packs, or their undoing?

Having transmigrated to the Douluo Continent, becoming Qian Xunji before the events of the Secret Chamber Douluo Incident, he initially encounters Bibi Dong, a disciple determined to elope with Yu Xiaogang. In contrast to the original story, where the original owner forcefully imprisoned Bibi Dong in a secret chamber, becoming the Secret Chamber Douluo , Qian Xunji, as a transmigrator, only feels disgust and loathing for the selfish, ungrateful, and treacherous Bibi Dong. However, just as Qian Xunji is about to pronounce Bibi Dong's death sentence, the Subversion System activates. By subverting the Douluo Continent's plot, various rewards can be obtained.

Thanks to the newbie gift pack from the Subversion System, letting Bibi Dong elope with Yu Xiaogang is an option. However, the resources the Spirit Hall poured into him, the spirit bones they bestowed upon him, and all the secrets of the Spirit Hall that he knew must be abolished and sealed! ... This book is also known as: *Douluo: What If Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang Had Been Together*, *Douluo: I, Qian Xunji, Am Invincible!*, and *Douluo: Thank You for the Invitation!
