betrayal

Jasmine Towers married billionaire Keith Acland in an arranged marriage meant to benefit two powerful families. There was no love, no romance—and Jasmine accepted it. As the CEO’s wife, she devoted herself to maintaining the perfect image and raising her son to become the rightful heir of the Acland family. Everything collapses when Keith’s former lover returns… with a child she claims is his. Overnight, Jasmine’s position is questioned. Her son’s inheritance is threatened. And the woman who once stood quietly beside her husband is pushed out of her own home. Betrayed by her husband and abandoned by high society, Jasmine is forced into a ruthless battle for survival—where losing means watching her son lose everything. Jasmine must fight to protect her child… and reclaim what was stolen from her.

‘How cliché. I’ve read countless novels where the Hero is betrayed by their companions… but was I wrong to trust those who fought beside me for nearly six decades?’ ----- Betrayal. A word many live in fear of. A word some never expect… until it happens. A word that completely shatters one’s view of life. Just like any other heroic tale, Simon was the Hero of Earth, the one who defeated the Demon King and was about to end the war between races with his companions. Yet, in the end, he was betrayed by his own companions for reasons he never understood. Instead of finding death, Simon found rebirth. To his horror, he reincarnated as the very race he had devoted his entire life to exterminating… a race he despised, feared, and was disgusted by. Reborn as a demon infant within one of the most impoverished demon tribes, Simon found himself at the very bottom of a world he once sought to destroy. Fortunately, he was not entirely abandoned. His unique Seven Star Blessing, bestowed by his patron God, followed him through reincarnation. Armed with this Blessing and the Demonic Magic of his new race, Simon now harbors an ambition greater than ever before… to rise higher than he ever did as the Hero of Earth. To become a God. But the path forward is far from simple. Betrayals from those he would never expect. Endless trials and tribulations. And the lingering question of identity… Should he cling to his past as a human hero, or embrace his nature as a demon to survive? Can Simon abandon his hatred and live among demons? Or will he erase his past entirely and fully embrace his demonic nature? Will his thirst for revenge drag him deeper into darkness… Or will he rise above it? In the end… Will he be devoured… or will he devour all?

I was the Empire's most loyal blade, a commander who stained her hands with blood to secure a throne that would eventually betray her. They branded me a 'Villainous Butcher' and sentenced me to the gallows. But if I am to be a villain, I might as well commit the ultimate sin. On the eve of my execution, I didn't just escape—I took the Empire’s only hope with me. The Saintess, the fragile 'Living Relic' they used as a mere tool to protect their borders. Now, we are two outcasts against an entire continent. To the world, I am her kidnapper. To her, I am the only one willing to bleed so she can finally breathe. The Empire wants their Saintess back?

Ella and Jacob are soulmates in the most painful way possible. The kind that feels inevitable, undeniable, and still completely impossible. They were always meant to find each other, but one devastating misunderstanding tears them apart and refuses to let go. Once inseparable, they are now divided by secrets, silence, and a truth no one is brave enough to say out loud. Standing between them is Walter, Ella’s fiercely protective brother. He loves her, but that love has twisted into resentment after one brutal, blood-stained night destroyed their family forever. Walter blames Ella for a past he cannot forgive, and he is determined to keep Jacob as far away from her as possible—no matter what it costs. Then there’s Rachel. She wants Jacob, not just to love him, but to have him. And she is willing to lie, manipulate, and ruin lives to make that happen. By her side is Tina—Walter’s girlfriend and Rachel’s closest ally—who doesn’t see Ella as family at all, only as a problem that needs to be erased. Together, they make sure the truth stays buried and the distance between Ella and Jacob only grows. Caught in the middle is Steve—the one person who looks at Ella and doesn’t see a monster, a sinner, or a headline. He sees the girl beneath the guilt, the scars, and the whispers. He is willing to cross the fragile bridge of mistrust to reach her, to offer her safety, patience, and a love that doesn’t demand answers she’s not ready to give. But destiny isn’t kind, and it doesn’t let go easily. Ella is forced to choose: Fight for the soulmate who still owns her heart, or accept the love of the man who stands beside her when everything else collapses. In a story of obsession, betrayal, and truths buried too deep to stay hidden, The Truth That Keeps Us Apart asks one haunting question— What happens when love survives… but the truth doesn’t?

Small choices become cracks. Cracks become waves. The world starts to notice him. And just when he finally dares to trust – when he thinks this world might be different – betrayal shatters everything. “I only wanted to survive. Instead, the story began to hate me.”

The Moon Goddess made a mistake— or maybe this was a curse just like everyone says it is. But I always knew deep down that I was never meant to be theirs. They belonged to her. To my twin sister, Chalice, who was sweet. Perfect. Worshipped by the entire pack… and pure venom behind closed doors. The three brothers— Zevran, Kael, and Caelum— hate me with a fire that burns hotter than the bond tying us together. And I know because I see it in their eyes… I feel it in the way their burning touch lingers a second too long. They despise me. Just like everyone else does. But they want me. And no matter how much I try to stay away, the mate bond keeps dragging me back into their world of heat, power, hatred and danger. Maybe, I should leave… I know. But fate plays a cruel game. And as truths unravel and secrets come to light, the triplets— the ones who once despised me— now see me for who I am. Now, they want me— unabashedly. But by the time they realize this, it is a little too late. I’ve been broken by them a little too much. And I am done being anyone’s pawn. ~*~ “We want you, Leilani… we always have. Always would. Please take this as our way of saying sorry. For everything, for not believing you… for letting our judgements be clouded by…” Caelum said softly, his voice trailing off, his breath warm and ticklish against my fingers that he brought up to his lips as his other hand found the warm spot between my thighs. My eyes snagged on his full lips— pink and inviting; But they’d been kissed by another. And I don’t do leftovers. I sighed exasperatedly, shaking my head to rid myself of this pitiful sight and clenching my legs together to force his hands out. He didn’t budge. “No.” I said sharply, my voice coming out stronger than I expected especially with their bodies pressed against mine, and their lips creating sparks across my body. “I’m done. Go back to Chalice… she suits you more than I ever did.” Kael’s voice vibrated through my body as he pressed himself flush against me. His brothers Caelum and Zevran leaned in too, their lips on the shell of my ears, one’s fingers grazing over my taut nipple. “I’ll burn the world, Leilani,” he growled, his voice deep. Threatening. “I’ll burn the entire world, if that’s what it takes to win you back.” “Then I'd like to see you after the world’s been successfully burnt down. Maybe then we’ll have this conversation.” I answered, and with that, I pushed their hands away and leapt off the cupboard. And as I walked out of the kitchen, I felt their eyes drilling holes into my back, hotter than a thousand lasers all at once. But I didn’t falter. I didn’t turn around. I was the monster they’d made.
