I Left With His Baby and Now He Wants Us Back

Three years ago, Ariella Ward was a smart college student who was having trouble with money. She started a secret, all-consuming romance with Killian Drake, the cold, untouchable billionaire heir whose name was known in both the boardroom and the city's criminal underworld. Their worlds were never meant to meet, but their bond was unbreakable, dangerous, and life-changing. Ariella fell for the man who everyone said had no heart to give, even though it didn't make sense. Ariella thought their relationship would be strong enough to last when she found out she was pregnant. Killian, on the other hand, broke her. Killian was shocked, defensive, and scared that he would act like his father, who was cold and indifferent. He reacted cruelly, saying she was trapping him, giving him money instead of love, and saying he wasn't meant to be a father. Worse, his family's lawyers came in with NDAs and threats, making Ariella leave for her own safety and the safety of her unborn child. When Killian realized what he had done, she was gone without a trace. Three years later, Ariella has a new name and lives in a new place. She is raising her daughter Naya with love and strong will. She has rebuilt herself from the broken child she used to be. Now she is strong, self-sufficient, and will not be ruled again. But Killian Drake has never stopped searching. What began as guilt turned into an obsession and then a need. He finally finds them, not by chance, but by a determined, planned search. And he wants everything back that he's lost. Killian isn't the same person Ariella left, but she doesn't want anything to do with him. He is darker, more dangerous, and more aware of himself. He is determined to get back into Naya's life and the heart of the woman he once hurt. His presence brings back everything Ariella tried to hide: love, hate, betrayal, and the fear of losing herself again. But their reunion brings with it threats that they didn't expect. Killian's enemies see Ariella and Naya as weak points that they can use against him. At the same time, someone from Ariella's past shows up with much worse plans than revenge. To keep their daughter safe, they have to stay together, even though they are both broken and have a long history of pain. As danger gets closer, Killian and Ariella have to deal with not only the world's attempts to tear them apart, but also the scars they've left on each other. When the final choice is made—run, fight, or trust—both must decide how much risk they are willing to take to get back the family they lost.

"To live"

"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. Who 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 Yunus Hakan, handed him the keys to the Hakan estate. Well pleased and trusted that his son will continue his reign. After the funeral ceremony, his mother had come to him. Conversing to him on state 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 as he recalled past events. Months passed. One fateful 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 he had lost connection to the 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 coffin, 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. Hands stopping as he clicked at a profile. There in the screen showed the picture of a woman, she was a beauty, and he had known it. Sharing their numbers he agreed on meeting her. It was a Sunday. Nur walked around the streets of Istanbul. Phone in hand, talking to the woman on the other end. "I will see you, bye" he abruptly mumbled as he cut the Call. He then made his way in one of the shops. Just as he stepped in--Thud* oh god... a feminine voice came out as he stared at her. The woman mumbled a sorry as she quickly retreated a bouquet that laid on the ground. Her eyes then went up to him, warm, honey like orbs locking with a piercing pair of blues. They stared at each other. As Nur's eyes unraveled her, she was even prettier than the girl he was supposed to meet. I-I'm sorry... (affet beni...) she said again and slid past him. Nur snapped his head, watching her go. Then turned to the front. On the ground was embroidered purse. He then crouched down, hands grazing against it, he clutched at the purse. Inside was an ID: Ayse Yildiz there was the picture of her. Ayse Yildiz... he practiced the name as if he has an obligation to remember it for eternity. Perhaps... his lips twitched, perhaps, he will have to --remember it for eternity...

Will Love Survive In An Idol Survival Show?

Park Siwon has nothing left to look forward to in this life. No family to return to. No friends to rely on. So when everything becomes too much, he makes one final decision: End his life after a day of doing the things that once made him feel alive. He visits his old school —the place where his first love bloomed…and withered. He eats at the family restaurant, which his grandparents took him to on his tenth birthday. And finally, he pours his heart into one last karaoke song. “Today, I tried to feel like myself. I did the things that used to make me happy, but… why can’t I feel anything? Only when I screamed my throat raw did something spark inside me. How ironic that something I’ve never done made me feel—happy.” Confused and tired of false hopes, Siwon slips onto the rooftop of the building, ready to jump. Until a voice stops him. “Don’t do that! You sing so well! It would be a waste to throw that voice away—become an idol instead!” The stranger turns out to be a desperate PD searching for one last contestant for a brand-new idol survival show. Siwon can hardly believe it. Him? An idol? If he were someone worth liking, his parents wouldn’t have abandoned him. He wouldn’t have been left alone. His first love wouldn’t have discarded him like a used tissue paper. Yet the PD’s words linger. And before he knows it, he’s swept into a massive studio filled with thousands of hopeful trainees—all fighting for a spot in the debut lineup. Under the blinding stage lights, he suddenly saw a familiar face in the crowd. "Siwon? You—" His old flame came back in the form of another contestant in this damned idol survival show. Lovemir Kang, a nugu who once debuted in an unpopular idol group that later faded into oblivion, faced Siwon in utter disbelief. What are the chances that an old almost-lover will meet again in an idol survival show? Second chance in life. Second chance in love. Will the two of them survive the cut throat competition to become an idol to debut together?

A Mafia's Redemption(GL)

Lin all tired and weak, from the torture she had gone through for the past days, now tied to a pole right at the edge of the cliff, looked up to her killer who was standing some meters away, and asked faintly "Why do I have to be put through all this?" "Am just carrying out an assignment." the killer responded, with no sign of sympathy whatsoever. Lin stared at her killer, obviously the masked figure wasn't going to show her any form of mercy. Already tired of life and had given up, she asked her killer one last time. "You really think, my dad is going to let y'all go after am dead?". The killer gave an evil grin. "Seems you have so much confidence in your dad..." He said clicking his teeth, and after exhaling. "Your dad wants you dead sweetheart." He said bluntly, dropping the bombshell, leaving Lin in utter shock and confusion. "That can't be true." She whispered although she could hear the doubt in her own voice, as the tears flowed from her already weary eyes down to her cheeks. She really didn't want to believe this but something was starting to make sense to her..She had gone through a lot already "Just end this please." She said exhaling deeply, as she closed her eyes. She could hear the echo of the gunshot as she waited patiently the bullet to pierce for through her... Yet nothing came through, she couldn't feel any form of pain or sting... "Isn't it meant to hurt a little?.. Or is she dead already.." She thought, as she slowly opened her eyes... What she saw was overwhelming... Her killer was on the floor instead... She scanned around, and that's when she saw a young man coming towards her... As the person came closer, she started to notice, that the person was also having feminine characteristics.... Wait that was a lady, looking really masculine.... Clad in all black, high boots, and a neat cut... She was lost in the eyes of this stranger and hadn't noticed that the lady had started to untie her. "What's going on?" A very confused Lin whispered, "Just follow me." The lady replied as she loosened the last knots that held Lin to the pole. Already freed Lin tried to take a step but stumbled. The lady turned and gave a smirk. "You were quite strong at first." And before Lin could fathom what she said, she swept her off her feet. And whispered, "Am not letting you go this time."
