The CEO’s Regret: You made me your lie, I become your Loss

Amara Piers is living the dream everyone double-taps on Instagram. For ten years, Sebastian Creed hasn’t just been her husband; he’s been her entire world. As the charismatic CEO of a global empire, Sebastian is the man who has everything, yet he acts as if Amara is his only prize. The handwritten morning notes, the spontaneous anniversary trips to Paris, the way he looks at her as if she’s the only woman in the room—it was the "perfect" marriage. Or so she thought. The facade doesn’t crack; it shatters. On a mundane Thursday morning, a stranger delivers a sentence that turns Amara’s fairy tale into a psychological horror story: “Ma’am, I’m sorry... but your marriage certificate and your child’s adoption papers are both fake.” In one heartbeat, Amara realizes she isn’t a wife, and she might not legally be a mother. The man she worshipped hasn’t just been keeping secrets; he’s been orchestrating a decade-long performance. As the walls of her high-end life close in, Amara must face a terrifying reality: Sebastian Creed didn't marry her because he loved her. He "captured" her. Now, the woman who was once his greatest treasure is becoming his greatest threat. To reclaim her life and walk away from her husband's child, Amara must disappear from a man who has the resources to find anyone, anywhere. But how do you run from a man who knows your every thought before you even think it? She was the woman he claimed to love. Now, she’s the one woman he can’t be allowed to keep.

The Violence of Glass

The Merger or the Grave. Akarat Group and Sutthi Corp have spent a decade trying to bleed each other dry. But when their shared benefactor a dying billionaire with his hand on their debt issues a final ultimatum, the war moves from the boardroom to a secluded glass estate. The terms are simple: successfully merge the empires in six months, or lose everything. The catch? Phin and Kavin must live, breathe, and work together in total isolation. No staff. No escapes. Just the "Untouchable" and the "Storm" trapped in a house where every wall is transparent. The Mask of Malice. For Phin, silence is a weapon and his three-piece suit is a shield against a world that raised him to be a machine. For Kavin, the merger is a chance to finally break the man he has spent ten years obsessing over. But as the forced proximity peels back their corporate veneers, the "hate" they nurtured since university is revealed for what it truly is: a starving, primal hunger that threatens to consume them both. The Price of Power. While Phin’s lawyer and Kavin’s brother conduct a frantic, secret affair in their shadows, a far more dangerous predator looms. Madam Wei, a puppet master with a vendetta, begins pulling the threads of Phin’s traumatic past to ensure the merger and the men shatter. As the lines between dominance and surrender blur, the two Alphas realize that winning the business means nothing if they lose the only person who understands the crushing weight of the crown. In a house of glass, there are no secrets and the truth might just be the most violent thing of all.

Blackmail and roses

Excerpt... We were too close. I knew we were too close, but neither of us moved. The office was dark except for the glow of our laptops. It was past midnight. We'd been working for hours, building the case, connecting pieces, and somewhere along the way we'd ended up on the same side of the desk. Shoulders almost touching. Close enough that I could smell his cologne "This is a bad idea," I whispered. "I know." "We agreed. Fake engagement. Professional. No complications." "I remember." His eyes dropped to my mouth, lingered there. "Doesn't change the fact that I want to kiss you." My breath caught. "Roman..." "Tell me you don't want it too." His voice was rough, low. "Tell me I'm reading this wrong and I'll move. I'll go back to my side of the desk and we'll pretend this never happened." I should have said it. Should have lied. But I was so tired of lying. "I can't," I whispered. "Can't what?" "Tell you that you're wrong." Something flashed in his eyes, dark and hungry. He leaned in slowly, giving me time to pull away. I didn't. Journalist Amara Reyes has spent sixteen years chasing the truth about her father's death. Heart attack, they said. Case closed. Everyone moved on except Amara. Now someone is watching her every move, roses appear where they shouldn't, messages turn from warnings to threats, and the closer she gets to the truth about what really happened sixteen years ago, the more dangerous everything becomes. Roman Vale is a billionaire CEO who doesn't tolerate loose ends, cold and ruthless, the kind of man who can destroy you with a single phone call. When Amara starts digging into Vale Industries, he sees a problem that needs to be eliminated. But Amara isn't easy to eliminate. When blackmail forces them into a fake engagement, the line between enemies and allies disappears. She needs his resources, he needs her silence, but the deeper they dig, the more they realize their fathers' deaths sixteen years ago weren't coincidences but murders. Two fathers, two deaths, one killer who's been hiding in plain sight for over a decade. The threats are escalating, the stalker is getting bolder, and falling in love might be the most dangerous thing they've ever done because the person who killed their fathers is still watching, still waiting, and won't stop until both of them are dead.

LOVING AMIR

In the iron-and-glass heart of the city, power is a currency, and the truth is a liability. Tiana Longman is a woman living in the shadows of a fallen dynasty. Once a name that commanded respect, the Longman legacy was razed to the ground by the ruthless Lahman Group, leaving Tiana to rebuild a quiet, "affordable" life as a junior clerk at a prestigious accounting firm. Her world is one of beige cubicles, high-stakes audits, and a small, lopsided apartment shared with her faithful Maltese, Maya. But the past refuses to stay buried. Amir Lahman, the enigmatic heir to the empire that destroyed Tiana’s family, is a man trapped in a curated reality. Following a mysterious accident that fractured his memory, he lives as the "Golden Boy"—a polished, lethal executive destined for a strategic marriage to the ambitious Ashley Heavens. Yet, a chance encounter with Tiana in a cold parking garage triggers a "Rogue" instinct he can’t explain. To him, she isn’t just a ghost; she is the only thing that feels real in a world of corporate theater. The stakes turn deadly when Tiana discovers a hidden file within the archives of Lincoln Willow Legal. It isn't just a record of her father’s ruin; it’s a blueprint of betrayal exposing Lincoln Willow, the Lahman Group’s most trusted partner, as a parasitic force orchestrating the empire's downfall, and perhaps Amir’s accident. Now, Tiana holds the detonator to a war between giants. Bound by a growing friendship with her fellow intern Chloe and pursued by the shadows of a conspiracy that reaches the highest floors of the city, Tiana must decide: Does she use the truth to exact her revenge, or does she save the man who was programmed to be her enemy?
