She never knew the truth about her family—until the night a masked man saved her. Ariella grew up protected, sheltered by her overbearing brothers. But behind their smiles were bloodstained hands, buried secrets, and enemies that never forget. That night, the masked man came. He saved her. Then disappeared. Years later, he returns—unmasked, unmerciful, and unbelievably dangerous. Kael DeLuca. The name her brothers hate. The heir to the rival mafia empire that once tried to destroy them. He wants her now. And Kael always gets what he wants. But Ariella isn’t the same naïve girl anymore. She's torn between the man who makes her heart race... And the family who will never forgive her if she falls for him. He says she belongs to him. Her brothers say they’ll kill him. She just might destroy them all.

Raised in the shadows by Dimitri Volkov, the enigmatic leader of a formidable global secret society, Andrea has trained since childhood to become an elite agent devoted to safeguarding the world from hidden dangers. Though her calm demeanor masks potent and unpredictable powers, daily medication is essential for keeping her abilities in check. Her life has revolved around duty, discipline, and a deliberate avoidance of emotional connections. Now, Andrea embarks on her most critical mission: traversing to South Korea to track down a dangerous villain bent on harnessing a secret weapon that could upend global power dynamics. This adversary has created a mind-controlling drug designed to manipulate his followers and incite chaos across nations. Andrea’s objective is clear—intercept him before he can exploit the weapon and stop the drug's further spread. She will not face this challenge alone, however. Enter "CEO," a mysterious yet prominent figure in the Asian Health Organization who is widely recognized for his humanitarian efforts but is also deeply involved in clandestine operations. Resourceful and enigmatic, he becomes Andrea's unexpected ally in a perilous world filled with uncertainties. As they work undercover, both must navigate a labyrinth of deception, each wary of the other's true abilities and intentions. As Andrea delves into this treacherous landscape of espionage, she grapples with her burgeoning connection to CEO. Though her training has conditioned her to suppress her emotions, she finds herself drawn to him in ways that unsettle her focus. Trust is a risk she cannot afford, especially with the mission's success and the lives of millions in jeopardy. In this gripping fusion of romance and action, Andrea faces a dual battle — against her enemies and her own heart. Can she maintain control over her powers, fulfill her mission, and manage her feelings for her enigmatic partner, or will her growing attachment lead to unforeseen consequences? With time running out and the world watching, the stakes have never been higher.

He was sent to kill her. Instead, he claimed her. When the feared Blackfang Mafia Pack raids Selene’s quiet border town, she expects to die like the others. But fate has a different cruelty in mind. The man who captures her—Darius Valtore, cold-blooded Alpha and ruthless mafia enforcer—is the one fate has bound her to. His orders are clear: mark the girl, then end her. Because Selene carries a forbidden bloodline—the cursed Moonblood legacy, and everyone who bears it is marked for death. But Darius doesn’t kill her. He chains her in his estate, locks her behind walls, and tells himself he’ll do it later. Yet each day she survives, she chips at the armor he’s spent a lifetime building. And the longer she stays alive, the more dangerous it becomes—for both of them. She was never meant to be his mate. He was never meant to feel anything at all. But hate burns close to passion. And sometimes, the deadliest thing of all… is the bond you were forced to break.

I, Lucien Chakma- Lu, do solemnly swear to make the most of this second life. I’ve got a billionaire’s body, a Mastermind in shadow, an assassin’s bullet to dodge, and a jawline so sharp it could probably cut glass. And excuse me, what? I just activated a system! My goodness! Will I win against the system and uncover the final gift? Or will my fate be sealed and my existence erased forever from the multiverse. Rewind to the beginning: I was just Lucien Chakma, tragically single, unstable, handsome, and so broke even my wallet had abandonment issues. I was dating a girl named Toby...until she dumped me for another girl. I don't mind she is into girl but why did she choose me to explore her sexuality? I felt used. So, I wanted revenge. I wished I could become a mosquito just to bite her and give her the itchiest payback of her life. And guess what? The universe listened. Entered Pokolo, a glitter-explosion fairy with a chaotic energy who granted my wish with a smug little “You’ve got 24 hours.” Boom. I was an Aedes mosquito. A tiny, buzzing, emotionally damaged insect on a mission. It was going fine. Until I bit the wrong person. SLAP. Dead. No dramatic last words or death monologue- just splat. But the fairy, guilt-tripping, offered me one free transmigration into a random body in the multiverse. I took the deal. Because duh. Next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital bed, surrounded by machines, medical charts, and air that smelled like generational wealth. Meet: Lucien Malric Moreaux. Age 29. Billionaire. Tech tycoon. Murdered by a sniper. Now inconveniently possessed by the soul of a mosquito-human hybrid with trust issues. Guess who’s him now? Me. From mosquito to mogul in under 24 hours. Universe speed-ran my glow-up. The catch? Everyone thinks I'm still the original Lucien. Including: The board of Moreaux Global, who expect me to run an empire I can’t even log into. My fiancée, the Ruxin heiress with a gaze that says “I own half the stock market and probably your soul.” Oh, and the guy who killed me still roaming in shadow! But plot twist: I never paid attention to that fiancée. Then came her. Dr. Arno Theryn Solace. Twenty-six. Neurosurgical genius. Hair like golden storms. Eyes like glacial oceans. The woman who saved this body and almost gave me a cardiac arrest by just... existing. She walked in, rattled off a diagnosis, and walked out like she owned time. And just when I thought that was a one-time medical miracle? We met again. Different room. Different reason. Same smolder. She tried to keep it cool. But I had to say it: “Ms. Solace, you want to run? Don’t dream about it.” This is my ultimate rom-com action- urban fantasy revenge-glow-up, system, redemption arc. Let’s go.

Her world was destroyed the day her father was assassinated and her family left for dead. Eighteen and jaded now, Kyoline makes friends with bartending shifts, gun-running, and caring for the siblings nobody else will. Love is not on the agenda—survival is.

But fate packed its bags and vanished. Because the moment she met him- Her world cracked like a ribcage, And something feral crawled out. She doesn't know his name. Doesn't know where he came from.

He doesn't chase. But when he looks at you- You run. Or you fall. There's no in-between. And she? She fell. Hard. Fast. Wrong. Because this isn't romance. It's war. A war between peace and the storm that wears a man's face. Where secrets are bullets, the battlefield is a bed, And the only rule is: Don't ask what he's hiding.

She thinks she knows danger. But the truth? Danger saw her first. Years ago. And it never looked away. --- > "You shouldn't fall in love with strangers."

#maturecontent #smut #omegaverse #darkromance I was supposed to inherit Parliament. Instead, my father sold me to men with power complexes, bloodstained secrets, and a disturbing obsession with omega biology. Apparently, my body produces deadly flowers and my blood can end alpha supremacy. Which is great news if you’re a mad scientist, cult leader, or my terrifying ex. Did I mention my childhood best friend kissed me once and went into a coma? Anyway. I’m fine. Totally fine. Not spiraling. Definitely not developing morally confusing feelings for my captor. And absolutely not planning to burn this world down with more than a bad review on Yelp. #omegaverse, #darkromance, #toxicMLM, #possessivealphas, #politicalintrigue, #twistedlove.

Jason sank to his knees as smoke swallowed the sky, the color of it an angry crimson, like the world itself was bleeding. The house before him, her house, collapsed in slow motion, boards shrieking and crumbling as if mourning their own destruction. His chest caved with a ragged sob, the kind that seemed to come from somewhere deeper than his lungs, deeper even than his body. Everything around him blurred—faces, sirens, flames—until all that remained was the ash. He should have looked away. Should have closed his eyes. But he didn't. He couldn't. The paramedics moved solemnly through the smoke, their silhouettes stark against the firelit haze. The stretchers were draped in white sheets—too still, too final. He counted them without meaning to. One... two... three. Jason didn't flinch. His heart was hollowed out, like something had been carved from within him with a hot blade. It should've been him. Not Selena. "No," he whispered hoarsely, his voice splintering. "No, it can't be." He stumbled backward, eyes wide, brain refusing to bridge the gap between what he saw and what he believed. Reality came in slow waves, each one more unbearable than the last. And then he was moving, sprinting toward the stretchers with a desperate, raw urgency. A rescuer with no one left to save. "Selena," he choked, reaching trembling hands toward the nearest form. The heat of the fire still lingered in the air, as if the world itself was scorched. He lifted the sheet with shaking fingers. What stared back at him was no longer her face—just blackened skin, unrecognizable. His mind rejected it. It can't be her. It isn't.
