Her childhood was forged in shadows, and she was sharpened into a weapon, trained to be a ghost, a killer—an instrument of vengeance. The target: a decorated general who brought down her family. But fate doesn't follow orders. Just as Lara was about to execute her long-planned mission, everything spiraled out of control. A military convoy intercepted her escape route—escorting none other than the general himself. And then came the moment that changed everything. A blinding crash. Screeching tires. Her body was thrown like a ragdoll, then darkness. She had a fleeting recollection of another world, another lifetime where kings ruled the land with an iron fist. But she woke up, and twelve long months had passed.  She did not know where she was or who she was. She remembered nothing. They told her different names. A child with trembling hope whispered, “Mommy, your name is Moira Torres.” Her doctor insisted, “Your admission slip says Larissa Reyes.” A hardened general leaned close and commanded, “Remember who you are. Remember your mission.” Then another general—dangerously calm, incredibly familiar—looked at her as if she mattered and asked, “Can I call you Lara?” The name unlocked something buried deep in her soul. Lara Norse Kromwel. Daughter of General Odin Norse. Empress of the First Empire. But the man who watched her most closely dismissed it with cold certainty. “This is the 21st century,” he said. “What nonsense are you spouting? What Empress? You are my woman. You can only be mine!"

Wealth and social status followed her throughout her life. She had a caring mother and a protective sister... or so she believed. But one day, her perfect world shattered like fragile glass. Just when she thought life couldn’t get any worse, she had no idea the worst was yet to come. After a series of shocking events left her with nowhere to hide, she chose to fight back against those who had conspired against her. Tormented, tortured, and nearly killed, she eventually found herself carrying an unwanted child. In that moment, she made a choice... she would become a mother. And so, a single mother embarked on a long and arduous journey to seek justice... not only for herself, but for her child.

Emma Lindsey built her company to survive without permission. Independent, precise, and relentlessly disciplined, she has spent years creating a business that answers only to its own standards. Control is her currency. Distance is her defense. Invisibility—until now—has been her greatest protection. Ethan Greyson built systems that erase uncertainty. As the cold, methodical CEO of Virex Group, he believes stability is not negotiated—it is enforced. Power is structure. Emotion is noise. People are variables to be managed, not accommodated. When regulatory pressure and market scrutiny force Emma’s company into Virex’s orbit, neither of them chooses the collision—but both are altered by it. What begins as strategic containment becomes enforced proximity. What looks like protection reveals itself as control. What feels like alignment slowly turns into entanglement. Emma refuses to be absorbed. Ethan refuses to relinquish certainty. Together, they replace trust with rules and intimacy with boundaries—convinced that structure will keep them neutral. It doesn’t. As oversight tightens and external pressure mounts, control fractures in quiet, dangerous ways. Fatigue replaces certainty. Discipline leaks. Small decisions begin to carry personal weight—and instinct enters a system designed to exclude it. They are not drawn together by romance. They are pulled together by consequence. And when Ethan protects Emma without permission—and Emma realizes she no longer stands alone—the balance they both depend on shifts irrevocably. This is not a story about falling in love. It is a story about two fiercely controlled, fiercely independent people losing neutrality in each other’s presence—and discovering that when control finally breaks, the collision creates a fire neither of them was built to survive untouched.

Ayen used to be part of the Adrift Organization, a private company of guides. However, as he was the lowest of his entire batch, and it could even be said that he was barely considered an E-class Guide with a pathetic amount of energy that made him no different from a normal person, he was kicked out of the organization miserably. He didn’t have a choice but to apply to the Guides Association, which was managed by the government, and that only meant he was now both a civil servant and a member of the military. With a meager amount of energy, and as the lowest-level E-class Guide at that, no Esper had ever chosen him. No one with their right mind would really choose him. And five years later, at a certain forbidden zone, Ayen met Khal and Devion, two dangerous SS-class Espers. Two Espers that no guide could handle, and a Guide that no Esper had ever chosen. Two different situations and an unexpected discovery. #Guideverse. #GuideXEspers #poly #throuple #1v2

You were never meant to choose him,” Ethan said quietly, his voice controlled, steady, as his hand closed around Clara’s wrist—firm enough to stop her, gentle enough to make her listen. Clara’s breath hitched. Not from fear. But from the shock of hearing Ethan finally claim something after years of silence. She had chosen Ryan. The boy she loved openly. The one everyone approved of. The one who stood beside her without hesitation. Ethan stayed in the background. He watched Clara fall in love with another man. Watched her give her smiles, her trust, her future to someone else. He never interfered. Never confessed. Never crossed the line. Loving her quietly was the only restraint he allowed himself. Until restraint became regret. Clara was meant to be his forever. But one choice changed everything. The man she chose began to feel distant. And the man who had loved her in silence for years started to feel far more dangerous than the one she trusted. This is not a story about stolen love. It is a story about patience, restraint, and the devastating cost of choosing the right man over the one who waited.

“Love & Cassettes” is a nostalgic journey back to the 90s—a time of handwritten notes, mixtapes, and first love that blooms quietly but fiercely. Sakshi Verma is a disciplined, studious girl who believes life is about rules, schedules, and keeping her heart safe. Samar Kapoor is her complete opposite: mischievous, carefree, and charming in a way that makes every room light up. When Samar joins Greenwood High, their worlds collide in the most unexpected ways—glances that linger, playful banter, and small acts of courage that speak louder than words. From shared speeches during school inspections to tutoring sessions that spark laughter, to elections, misunderstandings, and a paper leak scandal, their journey is full of trials, teasing, and tender moments. Each letter exchanged, each cassette shared, and every stolen glance builds a slow, heartfelt romance—a love that teaches them trust, patience, and the joy of growing together. In a world without instant messages, their story reminds us that love is in the little things, the moments between the chaos, and the courage to stand by each other—even when the world doubts.

In her past life, he ruined her. In this one, he won’t let her go. In her past life, Princess Katerina was promised to Prince Maximilian, the man she loved… until he betrayed her and destroyed her name beyond repair. When duty demanded it, she married King Dorian to save her people. It was a marriage born of sacrifice, not desire. But Maximilian never let her go. Even after ascending the throne of a rival kingdom, he pursued her relentlessly... not as a lover, but as a hunter. An enemy king. A shadow that followed her across borders and battlefields. A war she could never escape. Because of him, she lost everything. Her name. Her achievements. And the most unforgivable loss of all... her children. She died without ever understanding why he destroyed her… or why he never stopped. Reincarnated into the modern world as Catherine Preston, she wants only one thing: a quiet life.

She is wrong. Traitors circle her once more—stealing her work, erasing her name, cornering her with smiles and contracts. And just as she stands on the edge of ruin… he appears again. Not as her enemy. Not as a king. But as her savior. “Marry me,” Maximilian Whitmore says calmly. “I’ll give you everything you dream of.” Catherine refuses. She will not trust the man who destroyed her once already. But fate has other plans. A curse. A bond. A shackle she cannot break. The only way to ease the curse… is intimacy with the man she despised. Bound once more to the enemy king of her past life, Catherine must face a terrifying question: Does Maximilian truly not remember what he did… or is he hiding the truth behind those unreadable eyes? And when King Dorian returns in this life, offering her peace and safety… Two men. Two pasts. One woman who remembers everything.

My engagement ended in humiliation. One moment, I was the bride-to-be. Next, my fiancé was slipping a ring onto another woman’s finger—nope, not just anyone, my half-sister! And the whole city watched. So I did the unthinkable. I kissed the one man I was never supposed to touch—his aloof, very hot, useless uncle. Dominic Fletcher. It was supposed to be revenge. A scandal to wipe away my shame. Until he stole my bra and with it, my senses… and my already fragile heart. “Give it back!” I demanded, reaching for my bra, but he only lifted it higher. “I’ll keep this as a memento, Kitten,” he murmured, eyes dark, voice dangerously seductive. But Dominic Fletcher was far from useless. Behind the nonchalant façade was a ruthless power only I had glimpsed. And now, he wants to help me take my revenge— “Marry me, sweetness,” Dominic rasped, gaze sharp as steel. “I’ll make everyone who offended you a foot mat. What do you say?” How could I say no? I’d do anything to make that worthless, piece-of-shit scumbag ex lose sleep for the rest of his life and become his worst nightmare. So I said yes—to his uncle. I became his aunt-in-law. Then I returned, victorious and unbroken. My family pleaded for me to forgive them. My ex-fiancé fell to his knees, clutching my hand. “Let’s start again, Harper,” he begged. “You’re the only one I cherish...”
