crush

"I love you, okay?" ... her voice broke as she stared up at Nur's face. His eyes widened, chest tightening as he stared back at her, at the magnitude of her words. Tears clung to Ayse's lashes, his wife who he supposedly contract married. From the very first day they locked eyes, he loved her but not even for a second, he would have thought she would fall for him. This was Deniz Nur Hakan--The sole heir to the multibillion-dollar company, he who built empires with his bare hands. He had ice in his veins and ruled with an iron fist. Men trembled under his gaze; women drove to him.  A man whose ears were deaf to the pleadings of many. Some called him a bastard, and for some he was just their "son"  His father, Emre Yousef Hakan--A tyrant man. He handed Nur the keys to the Hakan's estate. Well pleased and trusted that his son will continue his tyrannical reign. After the funeral ceremony, his mother had come to him.  Conversing to him on estate matters and the "future" "How his job wasn't only proceeding his father's company but to also produce an heir" Nur stared at his mother's unreadable face; he shook his head and sternly rejected even a thought on such matters.  Though months passed. One faithful night, he received the news.  "Mr. Hakan, your mother has passed away" Nur was left heartbroken; he fled from U.K and quickly arrived at Istanbul via his private jet.  The car clicked opened as he made his way in the magnificent "Hakan estate" Where he would find his "relatives" people who they had lost connection to the very day his parents married. They weren't well off back then yet lived happily.  He paid them no mind and walked towards the center where his mom's coffin was.  Clutching around the fine wood, tears sprung out. His mother, the only one who he could rest his head on the shoulders, lazily talk about his day. She had left him. The funeral has ended. Meanwhile Nur sat at his study, blue eyes flickering under the warm glow. Just then--the door clicked, there entered, Ali Demir, his father's advisor, now his. The silver-haired man walked to him, hands clutching at piles of documents. He then conversed to him on the future and that to attain his will, he must marry. Nur's face turned pale, marriage--A chapter that he had closed long ago. After his previous marriage in Ankara to his childhood sweetheart--Eylul Aydin. He remembered her end--how his father mercilessly unlived her and their unborn child. Nur had also rejected this idea prior to his mother's death. Yet--Ali continued, "the bride had also been selected" His jaw flexed as he raked his eyes at him, "Did you...? Ali shook his head, "I wouldn't dare... if it wasn't the very own wish of Mrs. Hakan" Nur sighed, a part of him was uninterested and the other part? --merely curious to who it was. Ali continued, the bride is from one of the Kaplan family branches. "Who...is it? Nur's voice came out, flustered. Ali's mouth parted, "Ayse Azra Yildiz" His eyes widened, his chest tightened.

Shang Xixia's smile was brilliant, but her slightly twitching lips betrayed her silent complaints. "Boss Gu, why did you choose to inherit and manage the Gu Group?"

Chloe Hart has always lived a quiet life — working hard, staying out of trouble, and avoiding the chaos that seems to follow other people. She believes in simple things: honesty, stability, and safety. But when she moves to Paris for a new job, her life becomes anything but ordinary. One night, while attending a high-end event, Chloe meets Lucas Vale, a mysterious billionaire known for his power, influence, and dangerous reputation. He is handsome, charming, and cold — a man who keeps everyone at a distance. When Lucas approaches Chloe, she feels an instant connection… and an undeniable fear. He doesn’t look like a man who falls in love. He looks like a man who controls everything. Lucas offers Chloe a deal she can’t refuse: work for him, and he will protect her from the threats that have been stalking her. Chloe is unsure if she can trust him, but she has no choice — danger is already closing in. As Chloe enters Lucas’s world, she discovers a hidden side of Paris — a world of luxury, power, and dark secrets. Lucas’s mansion, his business empire, and his mysterious allies are all part of a life Chloe never imagined. But there is something else hiding beneath Lucas’s cold exterior — a past filled with betrayal, violence, and a promise he made years ago that still haunts him. And the closer Chloe gets to Lucas, the more she realizes that the danger she’s running from is not just outside. It’s inside the man she’s falling for. Someone is watching Chloe. Someone wants her silenced. And Lucas will stop at nothing to protect her — even if it means losing everything he has built. As Chloe’s heart becomes entangled with Lucas’s dark world, she must choose between safety and love. Because in a world where secrets are weapons and promises are deadly, the only thing more dangerous than falling in love… is trusting the person who holds your life in their hands.

Julie Marie Navares seemed to be a typical young woman. Her father wished her to go to the same school as her brother, Christian Navares, which is why she moved. She thought school would be quiet because she thought her secret—her hidden talent for singing and her alter ego on stage as the POP PRINCESS—would stay with her family. But what would happen if Mark Cielo Villanueva, a friend from childhood who she hated, found out? They had just met again. Could she still keep her secret and her peace?

On my third wedding anniversary, my husband poisoned me. As I lay dying on the cold restaurant floor, I watched him smile beside my step-sister his mistress since before our wedding day. My marriage was a lie. My love was a tool. And my death was carefully planned. I thought dying would finally set me free. Instead, I woke up three years in the past one week before I married the man who killed me. This time, I won’t be the obedient wife who walks blindly into her own grave. I’ll cancel the wedding. Expose their betrayal. And marry the one man my ex-fiancé fears the most. Adrian Blackwood. The Devil CEO. A ruthless billionaire with no mercy for his enemies. I walked into his office with a deal: “Marry me. Help me destroy Ethan Cole and I’ll give you everything you need to take him down.” I expected a cold contract marriage. What I didn’t expect… was the way he looked at me like I already belonged to him. “You’re under my protection now, Sophia,” he said calmly. “And I never let go of what’s mine.” Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. But falling for the Devil may be far more dangerous than the man who murdered me. Because Adrian Blackwood doesn’t play games. And once he chooses something he keeps it. Forever. In my first life, I died for love. In this life, I’ll make them all pay.

To outsiders, everyone thought that Master Chu was cold and face-paralyzed as if he didn't have any expression, but they didn't know that he was kidnapped when he was young and had nightmares every night. It wasn't until he met Gu Nian, that he suddenly felt that sleeping was quite enjoyable... He knew that there was someone living in her heart, and even if that person would never come back, all he had to do was to drive that person away and change the tenant in her heart.

But Gu Nian pointed at his heart: "When you moved in, I signed a lifetime residence agreement with you." He laughed. ....................................................

Thought changing schools meant a fresh start. But between fake smiles, whispered secrets, and unexpected friendships, I realized—being a teenager isn’t easy… it’s survival. Being fourteen isn’t easy. New school. New classmates. New secrets waiting in every hallway. I’m Siya — just a teenager, just an ordinary girl… or maybe not. Every day feels like a mix of laughter, heartbreak, and little dreams I don’t dare to say out loud. But in this new school, life isn’t just about homework — it’s about finding who I really am, who my real friends are, and why growing up feels so much scarier than I ever thought. Maybe I’m just a teenager. Or maybe this is where my real story begins.
