“Oh my god! The prince sent an invitation for the upcoming royal ball!” Eleanor exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she waved the golden-sealed letter in her hand. “The royal ball!?” Anna and Cindy squealed, nearly toppling over their chair in delight. “Shh! We don’t want Ella to hear about this,” Eleanor hissed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. And there she was, Ella, standing by the doorway with her eyes gleaming, ready to pounce on anyone in sight. “Did someone say balls?” Ella grinned widely, her smile wide enough to make her mother and sister flinch. “No, no—it’s a royal ball, a ball. It’s where people… dance,” Eleanor stammered, her voice faltering. “Well, then,” Ella said, her grin stretching further, “there’s going to be a lot of balls there.” And with that, Ella darted to her room, already rummaging through her drawers. Ella wasn’t just dreaming of going to the royal ball— she dreams of every ball. In a kingdom obsessed with beauty and perfection, Ella, long ridiculed as the “ugly half-sister,” has spent her life in the shadows of her graceful and adored sisters. However, Ella never allowed mockery to pierce her strange, unbothered world. She focused on the hobby that kept growing—collecting balls and other round-shaped items. When the royal family announced the grand ball to find a bride for their prince, Eleanor’s heart sank. She feared Ella’s oddities might bring embarrassment to their family. Desperate to uphold their name, Eleanor resolved to turn her awkward daughter into a refined young lady, no matter how severe the training. “Posture, Ella! You’re not a hunchbacked scarecrow!” “Smile softly, not like you’re about to eat someone!” But despite Eleanor’s strict lessons, Ella’s wild grin never faded. It only sharpened. When the night of the royal ball finally arrived, the palace glimmered under crystal chandeliers. The prince stood poised, the very image of perfection, until the grand doors opened. Ella entered, her gown shimmering with hundreds of tiny glass spheres sewn into the fabric, catching every flicker of light. The room fell silent as a faint, musical clinking echoed with each step she took. The prince turned, his flawless gaze locking with hers. Ella smiled, leaning close enough for only him to hear. “I’ve always loved balls,” she whispered. The prince’s lips parted slightly, his polished smile faltering as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. Ella tilted her head, her grin fierce and unrestrained. Then, the grand doors opened again. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave breaking on marble. With that, a mysterious woman in a simpler dress entered.

Nadia Afcarina, a devoted wife, felt her world shatter into pieces when she found out her husband had been having an affair for a full year. The betrayal felt even more bitter because Nadia had sacrificed her career, complying with her husband’s request to become a full-time housewife. After learning about his affair with a civil servant, Nadia did not hesitate to file for divorce. With renewed spirit, Nadia went back to job hunting. Fortune favored her, and she was hired at a well-known company as a secretary with a salary far higher than her ex-husband’s income. However, this happiness came with a new challenge—Nadia had to work as the secretary to the company’s CEO, Ranu Manggala Dewa. Ranu is a handsome, charismatic man, yet cold and hard to approach. He is known as a firm and perfectionist leader. Initially, Nadia had met Ranu while she was on vacation in Singapore. They had a one night stand there and fell in love with each other. However, Nadia is still hesitant to trust love. She is traumatized by the betrayal she experienced. Additionally, she also feels unworthy of Ranu—a successful and established CEO. On the other hand, Ranu also harbors the same feelings for Nadia. He is drawn to Nadia’s intelligence, firmness, and kind heart. But he too has experienced betrayal from his former fiancée. Will the two of them manage to trust love again? Or will they not believe in second chances?

MATURE CONTENT: The content of this novel is not suitable for readers under the age 18 I thought I was finally choosing my own life—graduation behind me, the future ahead, and a man I believed I loved waiting at the altar. I was wrong. The truth shattered everything I thought I knew: my stepbrother didn’t protect me—he sold me. A debt he couldn’t pay, sealed with my name, my body, my future. And the man I was promised to? Sinclair Kavanagh. A government-sanctioned assassin. A ghost wrapped in human skin. A man I had once seen kill without hesitation—and without remorse. I am not only afraid of what Sinclair does for a living. I am terrified of what he wants from me. His attention isn’t affection. His desire isn’t love. It’s possession—cold, calculated, inescapable. He watches me like a target. Claims me like a contract. And no matter how hard I fight, how far I run, the truth remains the same: Sinclair Kavanagh does not let go. He is ruthless in his work, brutal in his methods, and utterly unhinged in his obsession with me. And when I realize that marriage to him is not a choice but a sentence, I begin to wonder if death is the only form of escape left. Because being Sinclair Kavanagh’s wife may be far more terrifying than being his victim. ~ Short Excerpt (Sinclair’s Dialogue): “I’ve ended wars with a single bullet, Daphne. Do you really think I’d fail to keep what belongs to me?” “You cannot escape what belongs to you. I am yours, Daphne. Irrevocably. Obsessively. Until the sun burns out and time decays. 'Til death do us part?' No, my sweet... death is far too kind for what I intend to do with you.” Disclaimer: Cover image is not mine, credit to the rightful owner

Frank Tulliver and Timothy Dawson are masters of a cold world. Frank, a man who reclaimed his legacy through "ruthless" ambition, believes his heart is better "warmed by gold" than by the vulnerability of love. For him, life is a ledger where he "inhales profit and exhales losses". Timothy, the "astute and all-knowing" heir, views the world with a "curt and pragmatic" eye—until he encounters a girl who doesn't fit into a balance sheet. Enter Lydia Rivers. She is a "rare gift" in a society of "city boys" and "calculated alliances". She possesses a "quaint elegance" and "insanely expressive eyes" that speak a language these men have long forgotten: the language of the heart. As Lydia’s honesty and charisma dismantle their defenses, the "honorable" men of St. Georges find themselves entangled in a "tangled web" of their own making. The pursuit of power is replaced by a desperate thirst for the one thing money cannot move: true affection. In a high-stakes world where "numbers do not lie," Frank and Timothy must decide if they are willing to burn their empires to stay warm in the glow of a woman they can neither buy nor borrow. It’s a war of the few good men who are Greedy for Love and Love for Money.

Eloise thought her first heartbreak would end in tears. She was wrong. It ended in gasoline and a match. ​For two years, she’d loved him with a naive belief in "forever." He was her safe place—until she found the truth buried in his trash. Used condoms, the scent of betrayal still fresh. Then came the final blow: a call from a friend who’d spotted him at a restaurant with someone else. ​Eloise didn't just walk away; she crashed his dinner. She emptied a glass of wine over his face, slapped him until her palm burned, and threw the evidence of his infidelity at his chest. ​But heartbreak demanded a higher price. That night, her agony took the shape of a flickering flame. She watched his estate burn, waiting for the satisfaction to kick in. ​It never did. Because the house didn’t belong to her ex. ​It belonged to Luciano Solis De la Vega. ​A man whose name is whispered in the city's darkest corners. Ruthless. Powerful. Terrifyingly composed. Luciano doesn’t believe in mercy or insurance claims; he believes in collateral. And now, Eloise is the only asset he intends to collect. ​She is his debt. His punishment. His. ​Luciano is a master of control, a man who breaks beautiful things just to see them bend. But Eloise refuses to shatter. Every defiant glance and every tremor of fury awakens a dangerous obsession within him. ​Their nights are a war zone where hate collides with heat and punishment blurs into desire. But as the smoke clears, Eloise realizes the fire she started was only the beginning. Between jealous lovers and enemies disguised as friends, she is trapped in a world where even loyalty has teeth. ​When two broken souls collide, they don’t heal. They incinerate. ​From the ashes of betrayal, a new kind of love is written—not in promises, but in ruins.

Over a hundred hopefuls step onto the same dazzling stage, each chasing the impossible dream of becoming an idol. Among them are Ren and Alex — two Betas determined to rise in a world that favors Alphas and Omegas. But Ren is not who he appears to be. Secretly an Omega, he hides his true identity, refusing to accept that his second gender should limit his future. He believes that even an Omega can stand at the pinnacle — if he is brave enough to fight for it. Alex, on the other hand, is a Beta hardened by a lifetime of rejection. Overlooked, underestimated, and pushed aside, he has learned to hide his pain behind a calm smile. Yet beneath it lies a burning desire to prove his worth. When the auditions turn into a ruthless survival show, rivalries ignite, alliances form, and emotions run high. Ren finds himself drawn to Kai — his hot-headed, unpredictable roommate who makes his heart race despite his best efforts to stay distant. Meanwhile, Alex begins to soften around Rei, the quiet but perceptive trainee who sees through his walls… even though Rei hides his own growing feelings. Things grow even more complicated when Kai becomes the first person to discover Ren’s secret — and chooses to protect him in silence rather than expose him. Under blinding lights and cutthroat competition, dreams, identities, and love collide. When Ren’s truth finally comes to light, will it destroy everything he’s built… or bind them together more tightly than ever? On this stage where only the strongest survive, will they rise — or fall?

The main storyline revolves around the protagonist, Lu Chen. He was originally an ordinary urban youth (usually a college student or ordinary office worker), who, due to an accident (such as electric shock, acquiring an ancestral treasure, or a miraculous encounter while rescuing a damsel in distress), gains extraordinary abilities (commonly: seeing through others' luck/fate, inheriting martial arts skills, or possessing special medical techniques). From then on, his life takes an extraordinary turn.

"I woke up in Vegas married to a billionaire. The same billionaire trying to destroy my bakery. Now he's offering me $75 million to stay married for 6 months. But what he doesn't know? I'm starting to fall for him. And his dark family secrets might kill us both..."

At an academy where youth feels endless, three teenagers cross paths during a season that will never return. Between shared classrooms, quiet glances, and words left unsaid, their bond slowly turns into something fragile and complicated. As time moves forward and choices are made, love does not always grow the way they hoped. Some feelings are meant to bloom only once, and some seasons are never meant to last.

He was danger in human form, and she wanted him anyway. One night changed everything. Ophelia Ravenwood never intended to draw the attention of a man like Dante Moretti, a man built from danger, power, and control. When he saves her from an attack meant to silence her, she should have walked away. She doesn’t. Dante lives by rules forged in blood. He protects what’s his and destroys what threatens it. Ophelia was never supposed to become either, yet her quiet strength and daring curiosity unravel his restraint piece by piece. As desire burns hotter and enemies move closer, Dante’s protection turns possessive, and Ophelia finds herself craving the very man she should fear. Because with Dante, safety comes at a cost… and pleasure comes with consequences. She wanted answers. He wanted control. Neither expected uncontrollable desire.

When fate plays matchmaker, even running won’t save you. I’m Alexander Christopher Ethan: Ace the Great if you ask me and I’ve mastered two things in life: disappointing my father and dodging responsibility like it’s an Olympic sport. Seven years ago, a car crash stole my mom and almost took me with her. Dad shipped me abroad to “recover,” and I did… by partying, flirting, and pretending adulthood was someone else’s problem. Then one phone call ruins everything: “Come home.” My welcome-back surprise? An arranged engagement. To a man. A CEO Dad personally handpicked without bothering to ask me. I laugh. I argue. I throw the man’s photo into the fireplace without even looking—and I run. Biggest. Mistake. Ever. Dad’s men chase me through the city until I end up bleeding in an alley with a shattered leg.

Maybe it’s the blood loss, maybe it's destiny, but I kiss him, right there in the middle of the chaos. When everything settles, I lie: Lost phone. No home. No idea where to go. He believes me and offers one night. I take it. Then I take another… and another… until one night becomes a week and I’m stupidly, recklessly falling for him. His name is Gabriel. No family. No past.

They drag me home to face my arranged fiancé.....the man I’ve been running from. It’s him. Gabriel. My angel. My lover. The self-made CEO who climbed from orphan to the head of my family’s empire.

The spoiled heir he was promised, and the runaway he fell for… are the same person. We were both running from this engagement… straight into each other’s arms. I thought I could outrun destiny. All I did was fall in love with it. Now we’re standing in the wreckage of lies, heartbreak, and second chances, and I have only one question: Was this fate… or the universe’s cruelest joke?
