Lyra Chen spent three years as the invisible contract wife of Damian Knight, the Ice King CEO who looked through her like she was part of the furniture. On the day she signs the divorce papers, he doesn’t even look up. Never appear in front of me again. She walks away with nothing. Ready to disappear. Ready to stop being a ghost in someone else’s life. Until the airport. His men surround her. He drags her back. And something inside her cracks. Suddenly, she can hear him. Not his words. The ones underneath. She is mine. I will burn everything before I let her go. But it doesn’t stop with Damian. Within five meters, Lyra hears the darkest secret people hide. The thoughts they would destroy their lives to protect. The shame buried so deep it no longer has a name. And Damian Knight has no idea what she’s become. He thinks he brought back a quiet, obedient wife. Someone he can control. Protect. Keep close without ever explaining why. Instead, he’s trapped himself with the one woman who can hear every sin he’s ever buried. Every obsession. Every moment of guilt. Every thought about her he was never meant to have. Now the question isn’t whether Lyra can escape him. It’s whether she will destroy him with what she knows— or finally give in to the darkness she was never supposed to hear.

News of the missing heir brought her back to the city she thought she had left for good. Anita 'Nita' Valken, the precious daughter of the Valken family, had managed to escape from their overbearing clutches under the disguise of building her empire in a different land. Nine years had passed with her life being filled with bliss and peace, with no watchful eyes scrutinizing her every move. However, this carefree life came to a screeching halt with just one phone call. News of a missing elder brother and the crushing pressure to find him at the earliest dragged Nita back to the very city she had fled in the past. Her existence had been forgotten in the years she had remained away. Though now, with her sudden return, the spotlight she despised was back on her once again. The shocking news that she would be filling in for her missing brother as the next heir only caused sparks to fly. If that wasn't all, her surprisingly odd interactions with the head of the Grimsa family, another hegemon in the city, had now made her the center of everyone's attention. __ Hugh Grimsa had never thought that the brat from the Valken family, who had run away from home the first chance she found, would appear before him ever again. Unfortunately for him, fate had other plans as he seemed to keep running into her at every turn, though their encounters were anything but amicable. Her unruly tongue and disdainful attitude knew just how to get on his last nerve each time they met. While everyone assumed that their rivalry was due to the bad blood between their families that had been passed down through generations, only those involved were aware of the real truth hidden beneath their facade. One a Vampire clan and the other a Werewolf tribe, both competing for the top spot in a city that knew nothing about the existence of creatures that were not human. So what would happen to this facade when the new heiress discovers that the trail to finding her missing brother keeps leading her closer to the Grimsa family? Will Nita be able to solve the mystery of her brother's disappearance, especially when rumors of a certain supposedly celibate man stealing glances at the new head of the Valken family business begin to fly throughout their city? Was this just a figment of everyone's imagination or did the heiress manage to bewitch the eternal bachelor? Follow Nita on her journey to finding her brother while steering clear of enemies hidden in the shadows, accompanied by an unlikely ally who seems to have ulterior motives for lending his aid.

Smuts, Possessive Themes, Obsession, and Dominance.] In the cold, unforgiving heart of Moscow, power is the only currency that matters—and Julius is a man who owns it all. At thirty-five, Julius is a feared and untouchable Alpha, a titan of the business world who has built his empire on iron-clad control. Locked into a cold, strategic engagement to a woman that secures his family’s legacy, he believes his path is set. He is independent, proud, and certain of one thing: no one owns his heart.

Ruthless. Unyielding. Harrison doesn’t care about Julius’s business deals or his fiancée. He wants to own the Alpha forever. But Julius was born to lead, not to follow, and he will not bow easily—even to a man who holds his soul in his hands. In a world where desire meets domination, a war has begun. And in this battle for control, only one man can truly stand at the top.

Twelve hours later, he walks into her father's hall wearing a crown — alongside every Alpha King in Nyros. To her horror, she realizes her father is selling her. The stranger isn't just any Alpha.

Being transmigrated wasn't in Reis's bucket list. Being so in an unpredictable world with danger lurking everywhere? Not even in his nightmare journal. So he definitely isn't thrilled when his soul is literally dragged out into a void and forced into a foreign body. Or about the blue screen of doom, trying to convince him that everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. Like hell it was right for him to be in line for the throne. Surely, Reis had run out of luck. But that didn't mean he was foolish enough to play hero. No. Why must he sacrifice his peace for something so foolish? Reis just had to wait. Until the royal family let their guard down, and he had enough money to escape far away. Just enough to escape heaven's eyes. And someone promised to help. Someone who didn't even know how to hold a human right side up. The fearsome guardian, who, for some reason, picked the weakest human to bother. It cost Reis half his mortal soul and a bit more, but what can he do? Escaping the throne is more important than dignity. Once the trouble's off his shoulder, he'd find a peaceful land to settle in and spend the rest of his mortal life lazing away. The perfect escape plan. But how is he supposed to escape from this so-called guardian again, at least before losing himself entirely? Well, not anytime soon. *** Antihero, bitter MC X Villainous, transcend level ML.

Joyce Roberts spent ten years as the shadow brain behind Pink Stones Corporation, closing every deal that mattered while her husband Juan Wilson played the terrifying CEO in public.

Six months later she returns as Elena Voss, the anonymous majority shareholder who just bought the company out from under him. Juan Wilson is about to learn the woman he discarded now holds his entire empire by the throat. This is corporate revenge wrapped in raw emotion, boardroom knives, and a second chance that tastes like blood.

"Honesty and politics don’t belong in the same sentence," they say. Celine Yue, a kind-hearted social worker, stepped into politics to help more people. But what she didn’t know… was that her own party would be the one to end her life. After her death, she wakes up in another world as Cyrina Vaeloria, the Elf Princess—right on the day of her arranged marriage to Lucian Aetherion, the cold, mysterious Human Prince and strongest mage alive. A political union to keep two powerful races from tearing each other apart. But this so-called alliance is just a mask. She despises the way other races are trampled beneath noble boots. Cyrina refuses to be a pretty puppet. She dreams of building a new kingdom—where races aren’t divided by power, bloodlines, or magic. To do that, she’ll need power of her own. And lucky her... she just married the most dangerous man in existence. With sharp wit and stubborn grace, Cyrina slowly bends her cold husband to her will— She toys with the ruthless Archmage, tames the untamable… and drags him into a revolution wrapped in royal silk. After all, if you marry the strongest mage alive… you might as well make him yours. ***** excerpt~ Lucian’s voice is like a blade, low and sharp. “Do you even understand what you said in the royal assembly?” Cyrina lifts her chin, unbothered. “I understand perfectly. I said I’ll build a new kingdom—where every race can live together.” His eyes darken. “You don’t know what you’ve sparked. That speech—” he steps closer, “—could ignite a war. You’re underground now, Cyrina. Buried beneath politics you don’t even see coming.” She spins on her heel and waves dismissively. “Ugh. Kaelen Blackthorn, your master is giving me a migraine. Get me out of this castle before I set it on fire.” Kaelen gives a slow, exaggerated bow. “As you wish, my lady.” He takes her hand like the perfect gentleman and leads her toward the door— But Lucian’s voice booms behind them. “Kaelen. Don’t forget who your master is.” Kaelen pauses. Glances back. “I remember, my lord. But as per your standing order… I obey only my lady’s command.” A smirk tugs at his mouth. “Even if it means going against you.” **** Per Golden Ticket = 5 extra chapters

In a kingdom where Alphas rule and the weak are treated as livestock, power is absolute—and mercy is a myth. King Alistair has never been challenged. Brilliant, ruthless, and dangerously untouchable, his dominance bends even the strongest to submission. Until the day a Prince is brought before him. Asarmose is no ordinary omega. Divine in presence and unbreakable in spirit, he does the impossible—he looks the King in the eye and does not bow. Worse still… he is unaffected by the King’s overwhelming power. Instead, a dangerous bond forms—one that ties them together in ways neither of them can control. To mock his court and keep the Prince close, Alistair names him Consort. But Asarmose refuses to play the role of a submissive. He challenges the throne. Questions the system. And begins to unravel the very foundation of a kingdom built on cruelty. As whispers of rebellion spread and the people begin to awaken, the palace turns into a battlefield of power, pride, and dangerous desire. Because the greatest threat to a king… is the one person he cannot dominate. And when truth demands blood, both ruler and rebel must decide— will they destroy each other… or remake the world together?

His student. As if that wasn’t enough, Jean isn’t just someone who refuses to stay away from him, he’s also connected to the very people Shawn has been hiding from all this time. Now Shawn is left questioning everything. Was it all just a cruel coincidence… or have they really found out he was still alive?

(WARNING: R+!9 Contents) In a world torn apart by the undead, survival is no longer about just staying alive. It’s about who you’re willing to trust, what you’re willing to give up, and how far you’ll go to feel something human again.

And somewhere between a dying government and whispered hope, Iyisha and Malcolm might find more than just survival. They might find a reason to live.

I woke up as an extra in a famous novel. Before I could even panic, a system window appeared. [Mission: Confess to Myles Cortez.] [Favorability: -10] [Time Remaining: 30 minutes] [Penalty: Death] Myles Cortez, the final villain of the story. Apparently, if I want to live, I have to seduce him. Easy, right? ... Wrong. "You think you can back out now?" His fingers tightened behind my head, eyes dark.

Shoved into the backseat of his father's car right after graduation, Riley Hale ended up marching toward a company building with a bagged lunch and a pen. Still in his toga, the fresh graduate never thought he’d land in the office of the continent’s top lizard, err, dragon, as his aide. And that would’ve driven any person wishing for a corporate career to tears. After all, who wouldn’t want to serve the fastest ticket up the corporate ladder: Kael Dravaryn, the infamously elegant, unhinged, and extremely overpowered Dragon Lord of the continent? Well, that would be Riley. The same Riley who didn’t expect to spend his days dodging fireballs, dressing his boss in robes more complicated than dark magic, and serving as a literal target during morning sparring. Now trapped in a job he never truly agreed to, the hardworking aide decided to hold out until it was time for his glorious resignation. But leaving a dragon’s clutches could never be easy, especially one with elemental mastery and a finger worth a private army. Yet, as Riley, who longs to quit, attempts to navigate ancient politics, wyvern threats, and other accidents (many of which are definitely not his fault), he might just hallucinate himself into seeing something beneath his boss’s arrogance and molten glares. Maybe he’d actually care if Riley got turned to ash.
