love agony

"I want to break the contract." Those five words shattered Ayaan's world. Ayaan, the cold and powerful billionaire CEO of a business empire, had finally begun to believe that happiness had found its way into his broken life. After years of loneliness, betrayal, and pain, Aayesha entered his world like a gentle ray of sunlight. She cared for him and his ill son, filled the empty halls of his mansion with warmth, and slowly became the reason he smiled again. But one day, she demanded an end to their contractual relationship. "Is there something wrong?" Ayaan asked softly. "Have I done something wrong to you?" With tears threatening to spill from her eyes and a dark truth hidden deep within her heart, Aayesha forced herself to lie. "I was only here for money. I've earned enough, and now I'm done. I have my own life to live instead of taking care of you and your sick son. I got fame and success because of you, and I'll always be grateful for that—but it's time for me to leave." Every word struck Ayaan like a knife. Clutching his chest as though his heart might break apart, he looked at her in disbelief. "You're asking to end this contract even after knowing everything about me and my son? You were the one who wanted to extend it." But Aayesha remained cruel on the outside, selfish by choice and heartbroken in silence. Unable to bear the pain any longer, Ayaan screamed, "Get out! And never come back into my son's life or mine again!" As she walked away, he felt fate mocking him once again. Ever since he was born, he had been abandoned. His own family sold him into the hands of a giant business empire. His sister left him during the darkest period of his life when he was suffering from amnesia. The woman he once loved disappeared without an explanation, as if she had never existed. And now, the girl who had become his light was leaving too. Yet something in her tear-filled eyes felt wrong. This wasn't the selfish, greedy woman she was pretending to be. What dark truth was Aayesha hiding? And when the truth finally comes to light, will love be enough to heal two shattered hearts, or will fate separate them forever?

Be The Anchor To My Striker

After a simple extraction mission, Kenneth makes a dire mistake that wipes out his entire team. Left alone and bleeding out, Kenneth has no choice but to pray to a higher being in hopes of getting a second chance at life. Luckily for him, his prayers are answered as he finds himself in the body of a man who has the same name as him! Now, faced with a strange world he is unfamiliar with, all he can do is follow the previous owners' wishes to enter the infamous military academy Toleran and become a renowned Anchor. The problem is finding a Striker to pair with. In comes Lucien Saint-James, the captain of the third division and a high-class Striker with whom he has the highest compatibility. The problem is, whenever Lucien is around, he gets this uncontrollable urge to bring him to his knees, not to mention that he doesn’t care for his arrogant attitude either. Now, Kenneth faces a dilemma. If he ever hopes to make it out of this academy alive and realize the dreams of the original Kenneth, he will have to suck up his pride and learn to hide his urges if he wants to make it out in one piece. Oh, and did he mention he had to deal with monsters and mystical beasts too?! ****************************************** Excerpt: “Kiss me.” Kenneth blinked. “What—“ “You heard me. Do it. Now.” Anger flashed in his eyes yet his body moved before his brain could tell him to stop. He reached for the Striker and their lips met. Kenneth poured his energy into Lucien, filling the barren pit inside his mind, giving him enough juice to keep going. The two pulled away, and Lucien’s steely eyes met his, holding him in place. “You always look like you hate anchoring me, but then you get that blissful look on your face that screams ‘I want more’. It’s cute.” Kenneth felt an unbearable urge to slap the smug smile off his face. But since now wasn’t the time to commit acts of violence against his pair. He held himself back. He would deal with him properly later. “Eat shit, captain.” Was all he said before sending him off. ****** A guideverse story with a little twist, hot and cold romance with a whole lot of slow burn (emphasis on burn because the MC refuses to admit his feelings, the stubborn fool). TW: Trauma, survival’s guilt, and violence
