Bound To You _ Jewell

EXCERPT✨ “Take off the towel and come here,” he commanded, his voice a rasp, his eyes darker than I’d ever seen them. His breath was too calm; he watched every deliberate slow step I took like a predator ready to catch his prey, and all my senses loved it. My body trembled in anticipation of being caught, of being his prey. To be devoured entirely by his love and more “happy ending?” I asked, my own voice sounding strange in my ears, his lips parted, curving into a slow, predatory smile that sent a shiver racing down my spine, making my knees weaken as I stood there, the towel clutched loosely around my body. --------- I stood in the doorway, no longer breathing, no longer really inside my own body. My eyes felt too wide, too raw, too empty. Something cold crawled down my spine. My voice barely rose above a whisper. “Whose wedding?” Silence; thick enough to choke on. I stepped into the room, each movement slow, heavy, as if my heart had sunk into my stomach. “Damien. Alina.” My throat trembled. “Whose wedding?” Alina looked like she was about to cry. Her fingers shook as she picked up Damien’s phone. She pressed it into my hand with a trembling breath. “It’s Nathan.” The name punched the air out of me. My gaze dropped to the screen. A single headline stared back at me, brutally clear. Nathan Carter engaged to Claudia Ravensworth. Wedding in 8 weeks. A strangled gasp tore its way up my throat. The world blurred. My knees nearly buckled. My fingers clamped around the phone as if letting go would make it real. Heat rushed to my face; Cold crawled down my chest. Everything inside me cracked at once.

My Love Game That Is Doomed to End in Death with Them

By a twist of fate, Narumi Tōru obtains a Romance Simulation System. As long as he earnestly plays various roles within the simulations and successfully clears NPC routes, he can earn rewards and overturn his life as a nobody. But the premise of the game is simple and cruel: he is guaranteed to meet death at the ending. He elopes with Yukinoshita Yukino, who is suffering from a serious illness, escaping the hospital and driving along the highway toward the sea—only to give his pancreas to Yukino in the end, letting her live on alone. He stars in a romantic comedy of body-swapping with his “little sister” Eriri. At the height of a midsummer fireworks festival, they are forgotten by everyone, and in an empty town, they embrace beneath a rain of falling meteors. He stands directly opposed to Kessoku Band. The villain who bullies a socially anxious girl collapses and dies suddenly in Yamada Ryō’s arms on the eve of the band’s rise to fame—only then do people realize that everything he did was merely to bring Gotō Hitori into the spotlight. He gradually drifts apart from his childhood friend Sakurajima Mai. When she is afflicted with a curse of reverse growth, he takes it upon himself without hesitation. From that moment on, the two who once shared fleeting days—gathering the morning flowers and recalling them at dusk—find their timelines crossing in opposite directions… Yet after pulling himself out of the game’s fatal endings, he can’t shake the feeling that something isn’t quite right… Lover, big brother, childhood friend—weren’t those just settings inside a simulation game? So why are you all taking it seriously?
