betrayal

At eighteen, Catarina D’Amelio believed she’d found the kind of passion that only existed in secret wild, consuming, and utterly wrong. He was older, distant, and captivating in ways she couldn’t explain. Their affair was supposed to stay hidden, unmarked by names or promises. Until Christmas night. Invited to her best friend’s family dinner, Catarina discovers the unbearable truth: the man she has been seeing in secret is Sylus Ashbourne, her best friend Althéa’s father, a man widowed young and buried in his own silence. One truth shattered her world. The other, she carried inside her for nine long months. Without a word, Catarina vanished, choosing solitude over shame. She built a life for her twins far from the city, protected by her enigmatic grandmother, Valéria. For years, she believed she had buried the past, until an unexpected encounter at a company gala brings everything back. Sylus sees her again. Older. Fiercer. Unreachable. And beside her, two boys with his eyes. Now, the secrets they both tried to forget resurface. Althéa learns the truth that destroyed her trust, Sylus faces the sin that haunts him, and Catarina must decide whether love is something that can ever be forgiven. Because some sins don’t fade with time, they grow, they breathe, and sometimes... they return wearing the face of redemption.

The Syndicate taught Brock Lawson and Harper Voss how to survive. It never prepared for what would happen if they turned that training against it. After choosing each other over the Syndicate, Brock, Harper, and a handful of loyal crew are forced underground, living on borrowed time and stolen intel while hits close in from every direction. The city they once patrolled now belongs to their hunters. Running isn’t enough. To keep breathing—and to keep the people they love from being dragged back into chains—they start chipping away at the Syndicate’s power, one calculated strike at a time. Allies come from places they were raised to hate. Deals are made in back rooms that used to belong to their enemies. As the balance of power shifts, Brock and Harper must decide how far they’re willing to go: vanish and survive, or risk everything to tear down the empire that made them.

Betrayed on the battlefield and left to die beneath a burning sky, Princess Emily of Norvale should have vanished with her fallen kingdom. But fate had other plans. When she opens her eyes again, she’s no longer a warrior drenched in blood but a fragile girl in a foreign city, carrying the same face and name as her own. The new Emily lives a life of pain and humiliation: a cold father, a cruel stepmother, a sister who steals her love and her dignity. Until the day they push her too far. The princess who once commanded armies awakens inside that broken shell, and this time, she’s not fighting for a crown she’s fighting for vengeance. Her enemies wear masks of love. Her allies hide in shadows. And standing at the center of her new world is Timothy Blackwood, a ruthless billionaire feared by all and bound to her by an unwanted marriage. He’s cold, calculating, and untouchable. The kind of man who destroys anyone who crosses him. But when he looks at her, something inside him changes and when she looks at him, something inside her burns. In a world ruled by money, secrets, and power, Emily must hide who she truly is while tearing apart the people who murdered her. But the deeper she falls into this new life, the harder it becomes to tell whether Timothy is her greatest enemy… or the only man willing to burn the world for her.

On the Southside, loyalty is currency and life is cheap. Big Head, Psycho, Murk, Jack and Rob grew up watching their block get swallowed by cartels, crooked cops and fake gangsters. They decide to build something of their own — a crew that doesn’t bow, doesn’t beg, and never lets disrespect slide. What starts as small-time hustling turns into a bloody climb through the city’s underworld. A stolen stash puts them on the radar of the Rivera cartel. A local set called Blue Street wants their corners. A detective who doesn’t play by the rules decides Big Head is his personal project. Every move is a chess piece. Every friend could be a traitor. Every night could be their last. These aren’t boys chasing clout. These are Southside Boys — and their nicknames are earned in blood.

Olessia’s life had always been quiet, until the pendant her grandfather left behind pulsed with light and tore her from her world. When she opened her eyes, she wasn’t in her village anymore… but in Autheria, a kingdom of impossible beauty and deadly secrets. The people here… The Navirs, were flawless, powerful, and suspicious of the black-haired outsider. Her rare gift for healing made her a miracle to some, a threat to others. Caught between two royal brothers, one who wanted her heart, and one who wanted her gone… Olessia realized this wasn’t a dream. It was fate, and she had just entered its game.

Mei and Otis once loved each other during the most innocent years of their youth, only to break up in the middle of a heavy storm, leaving countless words unspoken. Years later, fate forces them quite unwillingly to become… roommates. A girl who’s cold on the outside but warm on the inside, sharp-tongued yet soft-hearted; A guy who’s rough around the edges but deeply loyal... The two of them crash back into each other’s lives amid hectic summer days, torrential rain, and the smallest moments of daily life. She says she doesn’t like him anymore. He says he’s long forgotten their past. But neither of them has ever changed their phone wallpaper, their old habits remain, and every time they face each other, their hearts skip a beat. From petty arguments, endless teasing, to sudden moments of quiet tenderness— there is still something between them that hasn’t ended. A storm arrives, dragging up all the feelings they buried. A silly blue penguin raincoat. A late-night phone call. And a truth both of them stubbornly refuse to say aloud: “I still like you.” A gentle, humorous, heart-achingly sweet urban romance about two people who once lost each other and slowly learn how to find their way back to each other’s hearts.

Who is she in this life? A bride, a pawn… or just a substitute for someone who will never come? Rosy, a girl cast out by her own family, had her identity switched to be married into a noble household. A wedding with no invitations, no blessings only the cold binding from a man named Captian Anderson, the ruthless CEO behind the largest corporation holding the key to the entire banking and finance industry. Forced into marriage to save her family’s failing company, Rosy had no idea she was stepping into a maze of conspiracies, deceitful pasts, and chilling secrets no one had ever spoken of. She must live with a man rumored to be incapable of feeling, someone whose eyes reflect no emotion, yet always see through her as if he has known her for a very long time. Between love and control, trust and lies, Rosy has no choice but to stand up and reclaim herself, even when the love that begins to blossom may become the greatest threat of all. "To survive this velvet prison, she must learn how to make her captor love her to death."

Iris Chen, 25, thought she knew what love meant. For six years, she poured her heart into Damien Hartwell—her college sweetheart, her fiancé, the man she believed would be her forever. She worked three jobs to support his startup dreams, deferred her own career, and endured her stepfamily's cruelty because he promised they'd build a life together. Then, the day before their wedding, Damien announces he's marrying her dying stepsister Vivienne instead. "She only has six months to live," he says, as if that makes breaking Iris's heart noble. "You're strong. You'll understand." Iris's father—who remarried after her mother's death—sides with his "fragile" stepdaughter. Her inheritance? Stripped away and given to Vivienne as a wedding gift. Her job at the family company? Terminated. Even her apartment was never really hers—it was in Damien's name. Cast out with nothing but a suitcase and a shattered heart, Iris is ready to disappear into obscurity. Until a sleek black car pulls up beside her in the rain, and a man who looks like sin in a three-piece suit offers her an umbrella. Adrian Thorne, 35, is Manhattan's most ruthless corporate titan—a self-made billionaire with ice in his veins and a reputation for destroying anyone who crosses him. He's also devastatingly handsome, dangerously intelligent, and apparently... interested in her. His offer is simple: a one-year contract marriage. He needs a wife to secure a inheritance from his traditionalist grandmother and close a major business deal. She needs revenge, money, and a way to make Damien regret every breath he takes. The rules are crystal clear: - No emotional attachment - No falling in love - No questions about his past - Public perfection, private distance Except Adrian doesn't do distance. Every carefully staged kiss for the paparazzi lingers too long. Every "pretend" touch burns too hot. Every night he insists she sleep in his penthouse "for appearances" ends with them barely keeping to their separate rooms. And when Iris discovers she's pregnant—from one forbidden night when the lines between fake and real completely blurred—their contract marriage becomes the most dangerous truth either has ever faced. Because Adrian Thorne isn't who he claims to be. He's not just some billionaire who happened to find her that rainy night. He's been watching her for years, waiting for the perfect moment to make his move. And his connection to her past—and to Damien—runs far deeper and darker than she ever imagined. Damien is on his knees begging (especially after "dying" Vivienne makes a miraculous recovery and reveals her own agenda). Her family wants her back now that she's Mrs. Adrian Thorne. But her fake husband isn't playing anymore. "You were my revenge plan, Iris. Now you're my entire world. And I don't share."

Joseph, the head of the Anderson family was born beneath the brilliance of the aristocracy, a man whose very name was enough to make the entire Blue Moon Pack fall silent. Talented. Disciplined. Rational. The most trusted strategic adviser of King Lycan. In the world of commerce, he was an icon. On the streets, he was a symbol of pride. Yet his illustrious reputation carried one glaring “flaw”: His wife, a simple girl from a remote countryside, with no ties to nobility or high society. Their marriage was never born from love. When he was seven, his grandfather tipsy on strong wine agreed to a marital alliance with an old acquaintance. By the time Joseph came of age, that childish promise had turned into a chain binding him. He brought her into his home simply because he could not defy the wishes of his elders. From the very beginning, he set a clear boundary: They would live like polite strangers, civil, distant, and completely separate. But life had its ways of mocking certainty. She never fought, never demanded, never asked anything of him. She lived quietly, like the shade of a gentle tree, doing small, unnoticed things each day: tidying the pens and notes he left scattered, refreshing the flowers in his office, organizing the reports he had yet to finish… A presence so soft it became impossible to ignore. One day, he found himself returning home earlier than usual. Another day, he stood outside her room longer than necessary. And on a certain evening, the man known for his austerity returned with her favorite wine without knowing why he had bought it. Just when he began growing accustomed to her presence, the government erupted in turmoil. A storm of conspiracies, treason, criminal networks… and Joseph was pulled into its center. During a covert investigation, every lead pointed toward his gentle wife waiting quietly at home. He stood beneath the porch light, its swaying glow reflecting off the ice-cold sharpness in his eyes. Just a few more steps, and he would know everything: Who she truly was. What she had been hiding. Whether she was connected to the secrets he had been chasing. He could walk in, question her, tear apart every layer of truth. But if he did… he feared he would destroy the one thing that made him want to come home each night. The faint trace of the wine she’d shared with him the night before still lingered on his tongue. Joseph closed his eyes, tightened his grip, and stepped back. Because sometimes, the most terrifying truth is not that she might be lying to him but that he might not survive knowing the answer. Update schedule: 2 chapters per day, no updates on Sundays.

Throughout the ninja world, more than fifty large-scale conflicts have erupted across the ages. The rights and wrongs of these battles are often impossible to judge, yet historians agree on one thing: it was upon these ancient fields that the rise and fall of countless shinobi clans were decided. Thus came the age-old saying—“The victor becomes the king, the loser the villain.” Back then, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, led the forces of the Senju clan and the newly founded Konoha. Together with the Land of Fire, he marched across the nations, bringing an end to the chaos of the Warring States Period. Through diplomatic pressure, overwhelming strength, and battles against the mightiest clans—including the Uchiha—Hashirama suppressed the major powers and paved the way for peace. After the formation of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, the remaining clans and nations, realizing the tide had turned, followed suit and submitted one after another. Thirty years ago, I myself set out from Konoha, stepping into the turmoil of the Second Shinobi World War. With techniques that seemed ordinary on the surface, I defeated every enemy who stood before me. Everywhere I went, civilians greeted me with gratitude and hope. I truly possessed the advantage of timing and destiny. That era of fiery conflict and flourishing ambition remains vivid in my memory. So I cannot understand why people today speak of Uchiha Madara’s fall at the Valley of the End as if that place is an omen of inevitable ruin—as though the fate of all shinobi must be sealed there. Has this battlefield, in just thirty years, truly become my final resting place? No matter how one looks at it, our combined forces number between eighty and a hundred thousand shinobi—clearly the advantage is on our side! —Excerpt from the speech of the legendary shinobi Yu Zhen, delivered before the outbreak of the Fourth Shinobi World War. A notorious “old immortal,” feared and respected as a shinobi among shinobi, a destroyer of kidneys, and long-time recipient of a lifetime stipend from the Konoha Elder Council.

"It all begins in Kyrethron... and there it will end." For centuries, the truth remained hidden. Kyrethron was not only the heart of the realms, but the place where power itself... The Secret Shard, the fall of the Eternal White Eyes, the Eternal Divinity... all are connected. And Zyrion is the key to a story no one can afford to misunderstand. Silence rises again, one by one, defying the spirit gods; wielders are sacrificed, and the balance between life and death is shattered. But this is not only Zyrion's struggle. A war rages between Calesia and Umbraek, the mystery of an immortal mentor unfolds, and the shadow of a masked figure surpasses the Eternal of the Void. Naerys, the Eternal Blade of Kyrethron, is not who she seems. The Lightning Shard holds a secret that should never have been touched. And Zyrion... perhaps he isn't the true Zyrion he could have been. What if the greatest enemy isn't Umbraek, but someone watching from the shadows... with those same White Eyes? Kyrethron isn't just a kingdom. It's an open wound, a forbidden memory. And its story is about to awaken.
