Madelyn believed she would find a blissful home far away from her fears once she conceived Rafael's child and secured his commitment and affection by raising their child together. However, her world was shattered when Rafael brought her step-sister, who was pregnant with his child. His devastating confession left her reeling: he never wanted a child with her; everything he had shown her was just a game, and he never intended to let her go. Fortunate to escape death, Madelyn returned under the guise of her twin sister's identity to escape her obsessed husband but retained her name, 'Madelyn Fox'. Now, she’s back with a burning vendetta—to reclaim what is rightfully hers and crush those who dared to harm her, making them pay for every ounce of misery they inflicted on her in the past. Love? A weakness she has no time for. Forgiveness? Never once crossed her mind. All Madelyn wants is to see them crawl, begging for mercy she’ll never grant as she watches them suffer. ....... Author’s Note for Longtime Readers: Just a quick note—this story still follows the same plot, with Madelyn being cold and ruthless in her pursuit of revenge. The characters’ names have been changed for personal reasons, but the core of the story hasn’t changed. Also, I’m sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been going through some health issues and needed time to recover. Please do not read the premium chapters yet until the updated storylines are complete up to Chapter 70. I'll keep updating till the completion of the story, but please note that updates may not be daily, as I’m also working on a new project. Thanks so much for your patience and support—it means a lot!

Yeri was once a succubus, a powerful and irresistible seductress who fed on desire. Now reborn as a stunning young woman in the modern world, she must navigate the confusing collision of her human innocence and her demonic memories. One night, fate leads her into the path of Shin Keir, a dangerously magnetic and notorious CEO known for getting everything he wants—except peace. Their accidental encounter sparks an intense, uncontrollable passion, and a single night together changes everything. *** Excerpt: The dream had returned. Same eerie forest. Same surreal woman in the crimson dress. But this time, the setting had changed slightly. She now stood at the edge of a cliff made of jagged, glowing red rocks that resembled oversized rubies. Scarlet butterflies floated around her like living embers. A thick fog blanketed the area like some forbidden realm between worlds. She turned to him, her smile soft, sweet—and somehow tragic. She was heartbreakingly beautiful, ethereal yet forlorn, like a love story written in fading ink. Shin had tried to call out, but the wind swallowed his voice. As he stepped forward, the woman mouthed something. He couldn't hear her. Then, in a horrifying instant, her body tilted, and she plummeted off the cliff. The despair that followed wasn't just a feeling—it was a full-body, soul-tearing scream that never made it past his throat. Without hesitation, Shin leapt after her. He awoke convulsing, drenched in cold sweat. His eyes gleamed with a strange madness, a devil struggling behind the polished CEO exterior. *** Disclaimer- Places and characters are all works of fiction.

Some stories don’t end with love. Some hearts never heal. And some people love so deeply, it becomes fatal. Ayla Wilson loved Silas Williams for twelve years. For twelve years, he never looked back. She never asked to be chosen, only to stay close. Her love was quiet, invisible, and consuming. She learned how to exist in his shadow without touching his life, how to survive on distance without hope. Until the night she ran. A wedding gown soaked in rain. A locked door. A father who sold her future without remorse. With nowhere left to go, Ayla chose the one place she never should have, Silas. But the man she returned to was no longer a distant memory. He was controlled, restrained, devastatingly silent. He let her stay. He protected her. He never promised love. A marriage formed without desire. A home built on unspoken care. A devotion that grew deeper in silence, until one loss shattered everything. And Ayla learned that "loving someone who cannot say it back can destroy you just as completely as being abandoned." Silas Williams was never cruel. That was his greatest mistake. He didn’t raise his voice. He didn’t abandon her. He didn’t betray her love. He simply believed that staying was enough. Silas protected Ayla in the only ways he knew quietly, responsibly, without asking for anything in return. He gave her shelter, stability, and a place beside him. He believed love was something proven through actions, not words. He never realized that silence can wound deeper than rejection. He never understood that for someone like Ayla, love needed to be seen, spoken, and held before it was too late. And when everything finally broke, Silas learned the cruelest truth of all: "You can do nothing wrong and still lose everything." Redemption did not come with grand gestures. It came with regret. With absence. With learning how to love someone who no longer belonged to him. Cause some realizations arrive only after love is gone. And some men spend the rest of their lives chasing the damage they never meant to cause.

"Y..you are not...aahh.. my husband... uhmm..who are y...you? stay away... ", Liang said. He used his strength to remove the unknown alpha from his body. The alpha made Liang mess on the bed while leaving his body weight over him. His strong and dominant alpha pharamons made Liang feel dizzy. Liang's eyes were half closed, he wasn't in senses as he was drugged. The alpha kissed him and left marks on his body. He was inside him and kept thrusting him like an animal. Liang could understand that the alpha wasn't his husband. He was in pain. "Cheng... where are you?", Liang said in a lazy voice. He wanted to shout but he couldn't do it. The alpha captured Liang's upper lip and sucked him with pressure by pulling the lip inside his mouth. Liang was getting breathless. He looked at the ceiling with his wet eyes. His body didn't have enough strength to push the alpha away. "C..Cheng..", Liang said in his cracking voice. He held the alpha's shoulder and tried to push him. "Call me daddy!", Finally the alpha said in his deep dominant voice. Again he thrusted deeply and pinned both his hands on the bed. "Ah...", Liang groaned in pain and slowly he closed his eyes.
