betrayal

Once celebrated as a woman of rare virtue and beauty, married into the powerful Liu family, believing she had stepped into a life of security and respect. Instead, marriage became her prison. Her husband cruel, indifferent, and obsessed with status never treated her as a wife, only as a decorative possession. Beaten, ignored, and abandoned by her in-laws, she endured years of silent suffering until illness finally claimed her life. On her deathbed, with nothing left but regret, she closed her eyes believing her story had ended. But fate is not finished with her. Madam Liu awakens to find herself ten years in the past, at the moment when everything is about to begin. Young again, unbroken, and armed with the memories of her tragic future, she realizes heaven has granted her a second chance not for forgiveness, but for reckoning. This time, she refuses to be a victim. Determined to destroy those who turned her life into hell, Madam Liu begins weaving a careful web of revenge against her husband and the Liu family. Yet as she moves her pieces, she faces a dangerous truth: she has no allies she can trust. Everyone around her once betrayed her or stood by in silence. Then she meets him. A man whose identity is shrouded in mystery. A man she never encountered in her previous life. He appears at crucial moments, as if drawn by fate itself, his intentions unreadable, his power concealed. Their paths cross again and again sometimes as allies, sometimes as adversaries until their connection becomes impossible to ignore. Is he a weapon sent to aid her revenge… or another trap disguised as salvation? As vengeance, desire, and secrets collide, Madam Liu must decide whether she can afford to trust her heart in a life already stained by betrayal. In a game where love and hatred blur, one question remains: Will they become lovers bound by fate or enemies destined to destroy each other?

The mysterious benefactor who granted this new life entrusts him with a mission, its ultimate purpose shrouded in shadow. Azrael must walk a narrow path between his yearning for peace and the weight of a divine contract, all while discovering that in this new world, the greatest threats may not come from external enemies, but from the hidden secrets of his own reincarnation.

I stood in the quiet of the drawing room, fists clenched. “Adrian… you have no idea what you’ve done. You walk back into my life after all these years, and everything I planned—my independence, my future—it’s on the line because of you.” He took a slow step toward me, his expression unreadable. “Evelyn… I didn’t come back to disrupt your life. I came back because I couldn’t stay away. Because I couldn’t stop thinking about you.” I let out a bitter laugh, shaking my head. “You couldn’t stay away? You were promised to her—Miranda. To my sister. And yet here you are, acting like the world revolves around your feelings, ignoring mine.” “I never ignored you,” he said quietly, his eyes searching mine. “I just… I couldn’t control it. Even then, even as a boy, I wanted to protect you. And I still do.” “Protect me?” I echoed, my voice rising. “Do you know what protection cost me? Years of being overlooked, underestimated, treated like I didn’t exist? I worked my whole life to plan my escape, to make something of myself on my own terms—and now you’re here, threatening it all.” He hesitated, then stepped closer, his voice low but earnest. “I don’t care about promises, Evelyn. I’ve always cared about you. And I’ll do whatever it takes… even if it means standing against my own family.” I shook my head, forcing back the anger and the heat that flared within me. “I don’t need your promises, Adrian. I don’t need your protection. I need my life. I need my freedom. And I refuse to let anyone, not even you, dictate it for me.” His jaw tightened, and for the first time, I saw uncertainty flicker in his eyes. “Evelyn…” “This isn’t about what you want,” I said firmly, stepping back and holding his gaze. “This is about me. About my future. And I’ve made my choice. You will have to respect it—or step aside.” A tense silence fell between us, heavy with unspoken words. And for the first time, Adrian Cross realized that I was no longer a girl to be protected. I was a woman who would fight for herself—at any cost. Evelyn Hart had spent her entire life overlooked, living in the shadow of her brilliant sister and a family that never truly believed in her. At eighteen, she planned to leave it all behind and chase her dream of becoming a model — independent, unrestrained, and in control of her own future. But fate had other plans. Adrian Cross returned — the man once promised to her sister, the boy who had silently protected her all those years, and the man she could never afford to rely on. His presence threatened everything she had carefully built, stirring emotions she had long worked to suppress. Caught between family expectations, past promises, and a dangerous attraction, Evelyn must make the ultimate choice: surrender to the life everyone expects of her… or claim her independence, no matter the cost. In a world where endurance meets courage, she will discover that true power lies not in being loved, but in standing alone.

—Why did you kill my sister?—I asked angrily, clenching my fists. His response was a mocking laugh. —I still remember her last words—he said, leaning against the wall, right next to the door.—"I should have listened to my sister when she told me you were a bad person." Sister…

This was supposed to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Serving as an executive waitress with one of the country’s most elite ushering agencies—assigned to attend a luxury cruise ship event meant for the powerful and the untouchable. Who would have known that luxury hides monsters? My name is Daisy Walker. During a high-profile event at sea, I was selected among a few waitresses chosen to serve the VVIP guests. I was excited—more than excited. High pay. Elite connections. A future I had only dreamed of. The event began flawlessly. Music echoed across the deck. Glasses clinked. Laughter floated through the night air, as though nothing in the world could ever go wrong. “Daisy Walker.” Our manager’s voice cut through the noise. I straightened my uniform and walked toward him, professional, composed—smiling. “Yes, Sir James.” His stoic expression warned me even before he spoke. No mistakes. Absolute perfection. “Deliver these drinks to the VVIP section,” he ordered, eyes sharp. “And remember—no mistakes.” I nodded curtly and pushed the cart filled with wine glasses and plated desserts, smoothing my dress as I headed toward the restricted deck. I wish someone had warned me. I wish I had listened. As I neared the VVIP door, the room beside it—wide open—caught my attention. My steps slowed. Then stopped. My feet rooted to the floor. Inside the room were young women… and girls—their faces pale, eyes filled with terror. Some were crying. Some were frozen. A man sat calmly on a chair. Dangerous tattoos coiled around his left arm as he marked something on a paper, expression cold and detached. He looked up suddenly, glaring at the other men in the room. They were arguing. I didn’t even see where the gun came from. A loud bang echoed. One of the men collapsed to the floor, blood pooling beneath him. The women screamed. My hands flew to my mouth as I muffled my own cry. What the hell is this? What have I just witnessed? My fingers shook as I discreetly pulled out my phone—recording. I had to leave. I had to run. But it was already too late. The man’s devilish eyes landed on me. Without blinking, his lips curved into a slow, dark smirk. I turned to flee. Two large men appeared out of nowhere, grabbing my arms and crushing me in place. “Let me go!” I screamed, hoping—praying—someone would hear me. “Damn it!” one of them barked. “She was recording us!” My phone was ripped from my hand. Shock flooded my face. Then— A burning slap struck my cheek. I screamed. And everything went black.

Long ago, the world was ruled by a very powerful sorceress named Asmara. She ruled this world with cruelty-those were dark times. One day, the Fire Clan rose up against her, and gradually, the other clans joined them: the Air, Earth, and Water Clans. When they defeated her together, they took away her power and sealed it into four stones. Each of the stones is guarded-one by each of the clans. Asmara was imprisoned and put into a deep sleep in the most heavily guarded prison. Peace returned to the world. All the people who had served her were also imprisoned, except for a few who managed to escape. They now hide among us, waiting for the right time to set her free. If that happens, chaos will once again reign in the world.

"New rule," he growls, rubbing the tip of his cock against my pussy. "From now on, you call me Daddy no matter what. You understand me?" I nod as much as his grip around my neck will allow, my pulse hammering against his palm. "Yes, Daddy." I obey. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Valentino, Raffaele, and Angelo, are the princes of Le Vipere Nere—the most feared Mafia family in Italy. I was just a stripper when Valentino first laid eyes on me. To him, I was supposed to be a fleeting distraction meant for nothing more than a night of passion and sin. But we became so much more. At first I was tangled only in his sheets until his brothers wanted a taste of me. Once they decided I was theirs, there was no escaping. Now I’m trapped between three Mafia heirs who don’t know how to share. They claim me. Worship me. And fuck me until I forget my own name. They make me crave the pain as much as the pleasure. They make me theirs—body, mind, and soul. But the truth is I’m living a lie, and when they discover my secret, this game of lust and obsession might end in blood. Welcome to a story of sin, power, and forbidden desire—where love and hate are separated by nothing more than a single heartbeat.

“I like the name. Glass Fang. Has a nice contradiction to it, doesn’t it? Something sharp, something fragile. Pretty. Breakable. Deadly._ That’s what they see when they look at me— Glass. A quiet girl with shy smiles and average scores. Invisible, forgettable, fragile. They don’t see the fang underneath. The venom. The bite that tears the throat out of their perfect little hero machine. I go to class. I take notes. I wear the stupid glasses and laugh when they want me to. Then at night, I rewrite the world from below. They call her Nyxshade now. But really, she’s just me. Without the leash. This story isn’t about heroes. It’s about the lie they wrapped the world in— And the girl sharp enough to shatter it. Glass Fang. Remember the name. I’ll make sure it’s the last thing they ever choke on.”
