Husband's Regret: Your Bed Of Lies Gave Me My Bed Of Roses

Aurora was the silent architect of the Vanguard Group, the brilliant mind behind the tech and fashion innovations that made her husband, Marcus, the "Man of the Year." But when the divorce papers were served, Marcus didn't just walk away; he staged a coup. Using forged documents and bribed witnesses, he stripped Aurora of her wealth, her proprietary software, and her reputation. He left her with nothing but a two-bedroom apartment, $1,500 in a credit card, and the crushing weight of his betrayal. Driven to the edge of depression, Aurora has one night of uncharacteristic rebellion at an elite club. There, she meets a man who bears a haunting resemblance to a younger, more lethal version of her ex-husband. In a moment of alcohol-induced defiance, she kisses him—only to flee in a panic before he can even ask her name. A week later, Aurora attempts to restart her career at Titan Industries, a top-tier firm. She is humiliated to find that Marcus has already "partnered" with them using the very business he stole from her, ensuring her blacklisting from the industry. As she exits the building, defeated, she is intercepted by a fleet of black luxury sedans. The man from the club steps out: Kyle Osbourne. To the public, Kyle is merely the modest CEO of a mid-sized tech firm. In reality, he is the reclusive head of the Osbourne Conglomerate, the most powerful economic force on the continent. Intrigued by the woman who "stole" a kiss and disappeared, Kyle offers her a lifeline. He doesn't just want her talent; he wants to see the look on Marcus’s face when the woman he discarded becomes the queen of the empire that eventually crushes him. However, what two of them failed to realise is that an accident had caused amnesia that separated them as lovers the first time and now, they had found themselves back together again, none of them with the knowledge of their past love. The bed of lies Marcus built will become the thorns that pierce him, while Aurora finds that her own bed of Roses is guarded by the most dangerous man she has ever met. Her First Love.

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).

“ Why ? “ “ Hmmm ? “ “ Why do you like me ? “ “ I think you’re hot “ his voice was muffled against my neck.

You make me want to be me. I love your snarky replies and comebacks, I love the way you blush when you are around me, I love how nervous you get when you’re around me … “ “ I don’t get nervous around you “ I lied, my voice betraying me a bit. “ You do “ he smiled “ like right now, your heart is beating really fast “ He took my hand in his placing it flat against his chest. Underneath my palm, his heart was thundering — faster than mine. “ it’s okay. You make me nervous too “ he murmured leaning in, he pressed a soft lingering kiss on my forehead that made my toes curls. He rested his head against mine a pure look of vulnerability crossing his eyes. “ I’m falling for you Ophelia so please give me a chance “
