betrayal

I became the villainess and married the cold duke

“~Author note: First time writing long story — thank you for patience while I learn and improve!~” "So naive, Melanie. So stupid." Those were the last words I heard before a bullet ended my life. Betrayed by my best friend and murdered by the man she loved, I thought death was the end. Instead, I woke up inside a novel. Not as the heroine. Not as a side character. But as Seraphina Helene Valemont—the villainess destined to be executed for treason by her own husband, Duke Draven Everfrost. Armed with knowledge of the original story, survival should have been easy. Avoid mistakes. Avoid enemies. Avoid the Duke. But the story refuses to stay the same. The Duke who was supposed to despise me begins protecting me… for reasons I don’t understand. Events I know by heart begin to change. Secrets buried for decades begin to surface. And the future I relied on becomes less reliable with every passing day. As political conspiracies threaten the empire and old legends refuse to stay buried, I find myself caught between a fate I desperately want to escape… and a man I was never supposed to trust. But the deeper I dig into this world, the more terrifying one question becomes: What if the most dangerous thing in this story was never the villainess? Because some monsters are not born. Some monsters choose to chain themselves. And some names should have remained forgotten.

Fingered By The Lycan Prince(s)

Synopsis. Two Brothers. Two Lycan Princes. One dragon Princess. One brother holds her like she's breakable. The other fucks her like she is not. They have the same face. And She has no idea which one she's falling for. ** Tilly Ann Winchester was supposed to hate Chase Dubois at first sight. He was the "Whore of Troita." A rake. A demon spawn who made her ladies' maids lick his boots when they were ten. She's hated him for eight years. She's good at hating him. Then the engagement is announced. And Chase arrives at her castle. But he's not what she remembers. Some days he's in a wheelchair—quiet, hollow, exhausted. He holds her during panic attacks. He calls her Love. He makes her believe in tenderness. Other days he's on his feet—cocky, hungry, devastating. He pins her against walls, finger-fucks her in storerooms, makes her scream his name where anyone could hear. She tells herself she hates both versions of him. But her body doesn't care. Her heart doesn't care. And when she discovers she's pregnant—with twins—the truth finally shatters everything. There are two of them. Identical twins. One broken, one cruel. One who loves her quietly, one who burns for her loudly. And both have been lying to her face since the day they met. Now Tilly must decide: Which brother stole her heart? And which one will she choose to keep? Because the man she's falling for isn't her fiancé. He's the one who was never supposed to touch her at all. --- This is a steamy, twist-filled romantasy for readers who love enemies to lovers, mistaken identity, and falling for the wrong twin.

Chronicles of The Careless Immortal

Synopsis: Chronicles of the Careless Immortal When the world wept and the skies mourned in thunder, he laughed. Not from joy — but because he was born that way. They called him the careless immortal, a man who walked barefoot through the ashes of fallen temples, wine gourd always in hand, laughter echoing between heaven and earth. Once, he was a name whispered with reverence across the Celestial Realms — the Immortal of Clarity, blessed by starlight, adorned with the Emperor’s favor. Now, he was but a shadow of his former self, wandering beneath mortal skies, half-remembered in myth and half-feared in prayer. Born from a mortal family trained by the immortals, his destiny had always stood between heaven and earth — too wise for the mortal dust, too wild for the celestial halls. His laughter could stir the wind, his sigh could move mountains. Yet, beneath the drunken eyes and careless grin lay a sorrow that even the heavens could not heal. He was cast down — stripped of title, stripped of light — for a single unforgivable sin: Contact with the Dark Realm. For that, the Heavenly Emperor decreed punishment beyond redemption. He was bound to face the Heavenly Tribulation, where lightning carved judgment into his bones, and the heavens themselves mocked his fall. But he survived. And from that day forth, he became the immortal who would not die, the fool who defied heaven’s will — a wanderer among mortals, laughing in the face of gods. --- A hundred thousand years ago, the heavens split apart. The war between good and evil broke loose like a storm across the cosmos. Yet as the flames rose, few could say what “good” truly meant — or where “evil” began. Even celestials hesitated, torn between duty and conscience, law and truth. The Heavenly Emperor, cold and distant, sent his immortals to the mortal world — to observe, to judge, to report what was just and what was corrupt. But when the Drunk Master ; Master of the Jade Cloud Pavilion: the Jade Radiance Monarch, returned from his journey, he brought more than words. He brought questions. He brought truth. And truth, to the heavens, was the greatest sin of all. For when he spoke — when he dared to call the heavens blind — the stars trembled, and the Emperor’s decree echoed across the realms. What followed was not a war between Heaven and the Demon Realm, but a far more dangerous conflict: A war between Celestial and Law. The Jade Radiance Monarch stood alone on the boundary of chaos, wine gourd swaying at his waist, his laughter rising through the ruins of heaven. Behind his mockery lay a vow that even the heavens feared — that one day, he would return not as a servant of heaven, but as the one who would judge it. And thus began the Chronicles of the Careless Immortal — the tale of a fallen god, a broken world, and a laughter that defied eternity. ___ Please! I know it might be a little clinche, but please give it a try. thanks for stopping by.

THE LAND WE LEFT BEHIND

When Mulenga moves his family to a remote farm offered by his wife’s cousin, Mr. Banda, it feels like the miracle he has been praying for. After years of poverty and wandering between temporary jobs, the 11 hectares of fertile land promise stability, dignity, and a future for his growing family. Together with his wife, Thandiwe, Mulenga works tirelessly, transforming the farm into a thriving home filled with cattle, crops, and the laughter of children. For years, life seems blessed. But beneath the surface, a quiet storm is forming. As Mulenga watches others build wealth and ownership, a painful realization begins to grow inside him: the land he has poured his life into will never truly belong to him. Encouraged by whispers from friends and haunted by his own pride, Mulenga begins to resent the very opportunity that once saved his family. Driven by ambition and wounded pride, he makes a decision that will change everything. Without warning, he abandons the life he built and leaves the farm with his family, chasing the dream of owning land of his own. But the future he hoped for quickly turns into hardship. His eldest daughter’s life is derailed by an early pregnancy, his son Kebwe is sent away to be raised by the Bandas in hopes of securing a better future, and the family slowly begins to fracture under the weight of regret and lost opportunities. Years pass, and the consequences of that single decision echo across generations. Dreams fade, relationships break, and the land they left behind becomes a symbol of everything that was lost—love, stability, and the chance for a different life. Spanning four decades, The Land We Left Behind is a powerful and emotional story about pride, forgiveness, family, and the quiet ways our choices shape the lives of those who come after us. In the end, Mulenga must face the truth that the greatest loss was never the land he left behind—but the love he failed to protect. A deeply human story of regret, redemption, and the enduring memory of home.

Secret Baby With Mr. Billionaire

Delfina’s heart shatters when her so-called fiancé, Filippo, abandons her at the altar on the day they are meant to exchange vows. His excuse; he must rush to the side of her stepsister, who was coincidentally involved in an accident. Refusing to be discarded so easily, Delfina confronts him, only to witness a cruel, heartless side of Filippo she never knew existed. Broken and desperate, she pleads for help, but her family turns their backs on her, choosing silence over justice all because their marriage was an arranged alliance. Rescued by her best friend, Delfina seeks escape in a nightclub, determined to drown her pain in alcohol. What she never expects is to spend one reckless night with the very man she should never have crossed paths with—an encounter that leaves her pregnant. Dominic Silvestri is the feared heir to the underground mafia world, ruling from the shadows with an iron fist. Ruthless and untouchable, there is only one thing preventing him from officially claiming his father’s throne—an heir. Years after that unforgettable night with a mysterious woman, Dominic sees her again but this time, with a young boy who looks unmistakably like him. With his father watching and enemies closing in, Dominic has no choice but to offer Delfina a contract marriage—one designed to deceive his father and secure his position. But Delfina didn’t return just to survive. She comes back with two goals; to make her family pay for their betrayal and to stop Filippo from selling the shares she owns in his company. What happens when the dangerous man she’s supposed to fear wants to keep her around like a possession until he gets what he wants? Will Delfina use him just as ruthlessly as he is using her? And what will become of them when enemies from both sides unite to tear them apart?

Our Journey's End

“I want to live too...” Those were the last words he uttered before being left behind, torn apart by the fallen. Yet betrayal, anger, and frustration were not the deepest emotions he felt. Not even the pain of being ripped apart, flesh by flesh. It was clarity, much like his name. Lucid understood then that maybe, just maybe, he had spent his life the wrong way. Perhaps, in his next life, he would have better luck. However, Lucid awakens in a strange purple forest that feels both foreign and strangely familiar. Against all odds he had survived; he had not been reincarnated. Nor transmigrated into another body. He remembers everything; that much remains clear. He is still himself. Yet his face is hidden behind a peculiar haze of mist-like substance, and his body is covered in torn rags. Suddenly a voice chimes inside his head—a beautiful, elegant voice. A voice that seems to belong to a long-fallen deity named Alice. But upon realization, she is just as lost as he is. She cannot remember her own past, and yet, she carries a hope he himself lacks. Alice guides him forward through the scattered realms, and as they journey together, Lucid may be the only thing capable of restoring this fallen deity to her former divinity. And in return, she may be the only one capable of leading him home. Or perhaps fueling the twisted desire buried deep within him. Revenge. After all, he has not forgotten.  *** What to Expect •  Slow-burn •  Transmigration, Isekai and fantasy •  An overpowered protagonist forced through brutal struggle and grit •  Heavy moral conflicts, difficult choices, and the weight of duty •  A consistent main cast that grows and supports one another •  Mystery-driven worldbuilding •  Character-focused progression •  Subtle romance  •  AI opening chapter illustrations  *** Schedule: 2 chapters on Tuesday  2 chapters on Saturday  *** Patreon Daily release schedule   *** Join my Discord! https://linktr.ee/Cr1msonLight
