betrayal

In Valeria, when a case goes cold, one name is whispered across every precinct: Marcus Feldmann. Marcus Feldmann leads a four-man unit built from reputation, scars and secrets. A calm commander with a haunted past. Two veterans carrying their own battles at home. And a rookie who knows more about the digital world than the streets. They handle the cases no one else can solve. They chase killers, fraudsters, syndicates and ghosts hidden in the cracks of the city. Some missions are simple. Some threaten to tear the team apart. And one directive, long forgotten will slowly rise to the surface… changing everything they know about their work, their country and themselves. This is a story of action, crime, brotherhood, mistakes, survival, and the thin line between justice and revenge. Welcome to Vox Mortis.

After getting divorced from her husband, the man her family sold her off to, Roseanne found out that she was pregnant. The worst part? The child wasn’t his. The night she caught her husband cheating on her with her sister, on the very bed that was supposed to be theirs, her heart shattered into pieces and she ran out crying like an idiot. Roseanne ended up in a hotel bar she had never been to before. And that was where she met Czar Nikolai Romano.

There were plenty of red flags screaming at her that he was someone she shouldn’t get involved with. But fueled by heartbreak and betrayal, she bravely took the drink he offered. Now, four years later, a tiny carbon copy of the man she spent one reckless night with ran around her house clutching toy cars in his little hands. Roseanne thought her life had ended the moment she found out she was pregnant, but it turns out, Kaden became the only joy she lives to protect. She must protect her son. From Czar, who was obsessed with making them his. From Galen, the ex-husband who apparently wanted her back. And from the dangers of a world she never knew existed. Or maybe, she was already part of it all along. — “Mister, don’t flirt with Mommy!” Czar froze. “I don’t want a baby brother!” Roseanne flushed bright red. “Kaden!” — [WARNING: MATURE CONTENT (18+)]

Amber Ann Lance-Trace is a highly successful biochemist who built a perfect life—perfect house, perfect job, and a marriage to the charming and handsome, globe-trotting entrepreneur Dan Marcus Trace. The only problem? Their five-year marriage was built on the consequences of one drunken night. To add insult to injury - Dan has always been in love with Amber Ann’s older sister, the glamorous, humanitarian Jessica Jeanine Lance.

Now, Dan must face the brutal truth: He let go of the right sister. The chase is on to find Amber Ann, confess his true feelings, and convince the brilliant, newly independent woman that his second choice was the right choice all along.

Marriage means different things to different people. For Thalia Kim, it means survival. Five years ago, she died on her wedding night. Not in a dramatic, metaphorical way, but quite literally, with a broken bottle driven straight into her heart. She had only been doing what she always did. Men could never fully handle her, and they rarely stayed conscious after. So when her third husband went still, she assumed he had fainted, just like the others. He hadn’t. He opened his eyes, saw something he shouldn’t have, and panicked. Before her power could take effect, everything went wrong. That was how she lost her first tail. Now she only has eight left, and worse, her core is already starting to break. If it collapses completely, even a year would be considered lucky. So yes, she needs to get married again—not for love, not for happiness, but simply to stay alive long enough to become human. The plan is simple: find someone, get married, survive. It would have worked. If she hadn’t proposed to William Carter. A man her sister is clearly afraid of. A man who does not look like someone she can control. And more importantly, a man who should have refused without a second thought. But he didn’t. He said yes! Just like that, without hesitation, without question, as if the decision had already been made long before she even asked. Now, things are already starting to go wrong. Her ability doesn’t work on him. She doesn’t know what he wants. And he doesn’t seem like the kind of man who makes careless decisions. Which leaves her with one very inconvenient problem... This marriage might keep her alive. Or it might end exactly the way her last one did.

On the planet Nevera, power does not belong to governments. It belongs to one family. The Piao family has shaped the world for generations, guarding the World Tree, a living archive of knowledge so vast it has guided the rise of modern civilization itself. But control comes at a cost. As global pressure mounts to access the Tree, old alliances fracture, hidden agendas surface, and a carefully maintained balance begins to collapse. For the first time in history, the Piao family is no longer untouchable. At the center of it all stands Angela Piao. Brilliant, reclusive, and deliberately removed from power, she was never meant to stand at the heart of a political war. But as the world around her begins to turn, allies shifting, trust eroding, and the very people her family once protected becoming threats, everything she once held stable starts to break apart. The decision falls to her. Not because she wants it. Because no one else can. Beyond the family’s influence, figures like Kael Everwyn move in the shadows, carrying motives that threaten to expose truths the world was never meant to see. And as the line between truth and manipulation begins to blur, one reality becomes clear: This was never just a debate. It was a staged battlefield. To understand what must be protected… Angela will be forced to look into the past. Because the truth behind the World Tree was never meant to be found.

But Thornwood is more than an elite university. Beneath its ivy-covered walls are buried secrets, bloodstained legacies, and a truth dangerous enough to get people killed. And when I become the center of a deadly game, the one man I should fear the most is the only one willing to burn the world for me. Silas Blackwood was supposed to be my downfall. Instead, he became my favorite ruin. [Billionaire × Scholarship Student | Dark Academia | Obsessive Love | Enemies-to-Lovers | HEA
