betrayal

Arini threw the glass and slapped the sexy woman across the face. CRASH! Instantly, the woman fell, crashing onto the restaurant table, her skin cut by shards of glass. Blood and wine mixed on the floor. Her husband and a terrified waiter tried to break it up, to stop her. But Arini couldn't stop. She was screaming, hysterical, shaking. The perfect, graceful billionaire's wife had finally snapped. The man she had loved, worshipped, and served for years had been secretly having an illicit affair with a 20-year-old VIP hostess. Arini had felt it for months. The late nights. The lipstick on his shirt. The pink panties in his suitcase. The 10 billion bill. But her love was so great, so blind, that she tried to deny her own woman's instinct. She told herself she was crazy. Paranoid. Until today. Until she saw it with her own eyes. Her husband kissing another woman in a luxury restaurant. She couldn't contain her emotions anymore. Disappointment, anger, heartbreak — it all exploded at once. This is not just a story about cheating. This is a story about a kind wife who turns into a cold queen for revenge. How will Arini take her revenge? Will she destroy her husband and his young mistress?

"I told you not to touch her!" Adrian's voice tore through the air as his fist struck the man again. Blood stained his hands, yet his fury showed no sign of fading. "Adrian, stop! Please... you'll kill him!" Eira cried, desperately trying to pull him away. But he didn't even hear her. His jaw clenched as his crimson eyes burned with murderous fury. "Today..." he growled, raising his bloodstained fist once more. "...I'll kill you." Only after Eira desperately threw herself between them did Adrian finally stop. Even then, the storm inside him refused to fade. Later, as silence filled the car, Adrian's voice cut through it like a blade. His crimson eyes locked onto hers. "Next time... I'll kill him if he touches you again." Adrian, a vampire, hides behind cold words, ruthless actions, and a hatred that seems impossible to question. Eira, a human, cannot understand why the man who keeps pushing her away is always the one who saves her. The closer Eira gets to the truth, the more Adrian tries to drive her away. But some secrets refuse to stay buried... and some bonds cannot be broken, no matter how hard they try to fight them. In a world where love is forbidden, enemies lurk in the shadows, and fate has already chosen its path, one question remains... Can love rewrite destiny, or will destiny destroy them before the truth is revealed?

[WARNING: MATURED CONTENT (R18)] Penelope Anderson, long past the age society deems “marriageable” and burdened by rumor, devotes herself to securing a perfect match for her younger sister after experiencing an unsuccessful courtship. Everything proceeds as planned until Lord Anthony Ravenport, a notorious rake she once met under scandalous circumstances, becomes her sister’s most promising suitor. Though Penelope knows he is dangerously unsuitable, his status makes him impossible to refuse. As tensions rise, so does an undeniable attraction between Penelope and Anthony, one that threatens to ruin not only her sister’s future, but the fragile reputation of their entire family. *** “Why do you despise me so much that you consider everything I do unworthy of your blessings!” he demanded, eyes bright with frustration and restrained fury. “Because you are unworthy of one!” she yelled back, her gaze holding the same frustration as his. “You’re unworthy to be a husband, unworthy of my sister, unworthy of love, unworthy of everything! Your presence is only making things worse for Franseca,” “And your presence isn’t?!” he spat back, his composure gradually dwindling as seconds passed. “Just because you think you’re better off unmarried doesn’t make her one. She shows interest in me as much as I do her!” “Oh, is that so?” She countered, mockery and disbelief laced in her tone. “I know men like you. And men like you thrive on pity and selfishness, believing women to be nothing else but breeders and assets! How dare you speak of interest when all you think of is what benefit my sister possesses!” “I know women like you,” he retorted, keeping his voice likewise. “Women whose conclusions are based on personal grudges. Women who are blinded by rage, envy, and jealousy, disguised under safety. Women whose hearts are hardened by grief and sorrow, and all they can think of is affecting other people’s lives!” “How dare you,” Penelope seethed, expression cold in fury and her gaze heated in cold rage. No one has ever talked to her the way he did, and it annoyed her to such an extent that she could barely recognize herself anymore. “Oh, are you pained?” he snorted, mockery plastered in his expression. They were so close, so improperly close that their breath fanned against each other, eyes brightened in rage, chest rising and falling from such pressure. But neither of them seemed to realize. “You are… insufferable!” She spat. “And you’re… aggravating!” he returned, hot breath matching hers, as their chest rose and fell in exasperation. For a moment, the world revolved around heated glares and venomous expressions. Finally, those pair of grey eyes left the storm of dark-brown ones, descending on her lips that were only an inch away. Sensing his diverted attention, her breath stuttered in response, eyes descending against those inviting lips in return. Penelope’s heart raced wildly, breath puffing furiously as she swallowed the lump down her throat, unconsciously wetting her lips. “S-Stay away… from my sister,” She said, words barely above a whisper. Her heart raced, echoing in her ears, causing her to feel dizzy. His eyes darkened as they remained on those inviting lips. “You’ll be the end of me,” he whispered back. And in the blink of an eye, his lips crashed against hers. *** PS: BASED ON HISTORICAL SETTINGS AND TIMELINE. #Slowburnromance #enemiestolovers A/N: There will be slow updates for now, until I conclude “Surrendered To The Lord Of Sin”.

In the shadows of Konoha, the Uchiha were never defeated by rebellion. They were erased by fear, secrets, and silence. Toyoma Uchiha is not a prodigy chasing power, nor a fool blinded by revenge. He carries knowledge of a future where his clan is destined to be sacrificed—not for justice, but for convenience. As conspiracies tighten and loyalties fracture, Toyoma chooses a different path. Not blind obedience. Not reckless defiance. But careful resistance. With a handful of elders who still remember what it means to protect family, and enemies who smile while sharpening their knives, the Uchiha stand at the edge of extinction. This time, the future will not unfold quietly. This is not the story of a massacre. It is the story of a clan that refused to disappear. Early Access Available: support-pat****n/hear_tteeth (18+)

Seventeen-year-old Kael Rykaen was never supposed to be born. His power is sealed, his clan erased, and the world he walks into was shaped by two villains who never expected him to exist. As the last heir of the Rykaen — the Sealed Flame That Burns Eternal — Kael carries an inner second soul and eyes that will one day see every hidden truth. Guided by a simple wish to find his parents, he gathers rejected outcasts and slowly unveils the masked face of Vaelryn. But the deeper he goes, the more he realizes the greatest secret of all: the world itself was created by its most ancient enemy… and now that enemy wants to unmake it. In a story of becoming known, sealed emotions, ideological villains, and long-buried truths, one warm-hearted boy must answer the question no one else could: Was this flawed, painful, beautiful world worth creating?

Survival was the first thing Lorelei had learned. Her power had marked her from birth, a curse that should have left her abandoned — yet someone still took her in, raised her, cared for her. She knew it couldn't last, knew something would shatter the fragile peace, but she clung to that faint hope anyway: that this happiness would stretch on forever. It didn't. Just as she had with her mother, her own hands had killed him. And in the wreckage of her grief, a figure emerged — the only answer to her questions, the only guide through the bloody path she walked carrying along the sorrow of those she killed.

Vael Dusk arrived in Kuala Lumpur with forty-three dollars, a duffel bag, and two years worth of running behind him. He wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking for enough money to disappear — somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, somewhere the dead couldn't find him. He'd left the Army with a discharge paper that said *cleared* and a head that said otherwise. Four men were buried because of a call he made. He'd been paying for it ever since in the only currency he had left — movement. Never stop. Never sit still. Never let the quiet catch up. The quiet caught up anyway. It always does. One night in The Pit — Kuala Lumpur's most brutal underground fight ring — changed everything. Vael won. Not cleanly. Not carefully. He won the way a man wins when he has nothing left to protect, which is the most dangerous way there is. Victor Shen was watching from the shadows. Victor Shen is always watching. What follows is a descent. Through the underground circuit of Southeast Asia — Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, back to KL — where fighters are assets, loyalty is a leash, and the only way out is through. Vael will rise through ranks built on blood and debt and silence. He will find Raza, who sees what he is and trains him anyway. He will find Danny, who looks up to him with the specific trust of someone too young to know better. He will find Mei Lin — Victor's own niece, dismantling the empire from inside it, the one person in this world who looks at Vael and sees past the veil to whatever lives underneath. He will lose them. Not all of them. But enough. Enough to break something in him that was already cracked. Enough to turn the hidden thing loose. This is not a story about a fighter who becomes a champion. It's a story about a man who carries a demon he can barely control, in a world that will do everything it can to make him stop trying. *Some men enter the circuit looking for money.* *Some enter looking for glory.* *Vael Dusk entered looking for nothing.* *That made him the most dangerous man in the room.*

For nine hundred years, Blue believed there was one thing vampires could never have. A mate. He had watched werewolves find theirs. He had watched people fall in love, build families, and grow old together. He had everything a vampire could want—power, immortality, immunity to the sun, wealth, a family that would kill for him. Everything except the one person who was supposed to be his. Then he found Mason Carter. A quiet boy who had spent years believing he was unwanted, unlovable, and somehow wrong for simply being himself. Blue should have stayed away. Instead, he watched from the shadows. He protected Mason when no one else did. He waited when every instinct told him to step forward. And when Mason finally reached eighteen, Blue could no longer pretend that the bond between them was something he could ignore. But Mason isn't simply the impossible mate Blue spent nine centuries searching for. There is something inside him. Something ancient. Something powerful. And once the supernatural world discovers what Mason truly is, vampires, werewolves, elves, demons—and beings far older than any of them—will have their eyes on him. Blue has spent nine hundred years searching for his mate. Now that he's finally found him… He'll have to decide how far he's willing to go to keep him. Because loving Mason may be dangerous. But losing him? That's not an option.
