gettingbacktogether

Han Seo-yeon has spent her entire life believing she understood who she was—a responsible daughter, a protective sister, and an ordinary woman trying to survive a world ruled by power and wealth. But everything changes the moment she uncovers a secret her father died trying to protect. A hidden chamber. A mysterious file. And a single truth that shatters everything: She is not who she thinks she is. Dragged into a dangerous web of corporate power, buried conspiracies, and enemies lurking in the shadows, Seo-yeon finds herself at the center of a secret far bigger than her family. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that her existence was never ordinary—it was planned. By her side is Kang Ji-hoon, a cold and calculating billionaire CEO who trusts no one… until her. As truths unravel and danger closes in, their fragile alliance begins to blur into something far more complicated—something neither of them can afford. But secrets come with a price. And some truths are powerful enough to destroy everything. As hidden enemies emerge and the past refuses to stay buried, Seo-yeon must face the ultimate question: If her life was built on lies… then who is she really?

​Liam grabbed my chin, forcing me to look into his piercing green eyes. ​"Why do you smell like my brother, Scarlett?" he demanded. ​My heart pounded against my ribs, but I stayed silent. My refusal to speak only fueled his anger. ​"I am your mate," he growled, his grip tightening. ​What he didn’t know was that he wasn’t the only one. I was mated to all three brothers—and none of them knew they were sharing me. ​Suddenly, a loud knock echoed through the room. ​"Liam? Are you in there?" ​It was Leo. ​Panic flashed across Liam’s face. He looked at the door, then back at me. He couldn't let his brother see me like this—half-naked and pressed against the wall. He grabbed my arm and shoved me into the bathroom. Before I could say a word, he turned the shower on full blast to drown out any sound I might make. BLURB I am fated to three men who want me dead. ​To the pack, I am the Rogue’s daughter. To Liam, Leon, and Leo, I am a mistake that should never have existed. The day I discovered I was the fated mate of all three brothers, I realized it wasn’t a blessing. It was a death sentence. ​They hate me. They believe my parents betrayed the pack and killed their mother, our Luna, and the shame of being tied to me burns their pride. None of them know the others share the same bond, and each one secretly plans to reject me and erase the connection forever. ​So I begged for time. Three months to strengthen my wolf so I can survive the pain of a triple rejection without dying. They agreed. ​But as the days pass, the hatred begins to warp into something darker—and far more possessive. ​"I was the first to kiss her," Liam brags. "I took her virginity," Leo yells out loudly. "She will love me first," Leon responds angrily. ​I rolls her eyes and stomps my foot, my heart breaking even as my blood thrums with their possession. "I hate you! All of you!!" ​The secret is finally out. All three brothers know I belong to them. But instead of rejecting me and ending my misery... they refuse to share me. ​How do I survive three Alphas who would rather tear the pack apart than let another brother touch what is theirs? Especially when a dark prophecy is prophesied against the bond. ​Note: This is Book Two of Fated to Not Just One but Three. It can be read as a standalone, as it follows the story of their sons. ​PS: Two chapters are updated daily.

Title: I Built His Empire… Now I’m Taking It Back Synopsis She was the mind behind the empire. While others chased titles, Adriana built systems, solved crises, and turned failing ventures into gold. With an unmatched blend of precision and instinct—an “Eagle Eye” for detail and a “Midas Touch” for transformation—she quietly positioned herself as the invisible force behind Stratton Global’s rise. But power, when hidden, is often taken for granted. Betrayed, sidelined, and nearly erased by the very structure she helped build, Adriana is forced into a position she never sought—war against her own creation. What begins as a fight to reclaim her place quickly evolves into something far greater: exposing corruption, dismantling a deeply rooted syndicate, and recovering billions siphoned through deception. Yet reclaiming the empire is only the beginning. With enemies both inside and outside the system, public scrutiny, corporate politics, and high-stakes global deals closing in, Adriana must do more than survive—she must dominate. As she clears Stratton Global’s name, restores its reputation, and positions it for groundbreaking ventures like the hydrogen gas revolution, one truth becomes undeniable: She was never just part of the empire. She was the one who made it. Now, she’s taking it back—piece by piece, system by system, until nothing stands in her way. Power. Strategy. Betrayal. Redemption. And a woman who refuses to stop at victory.

For years, she lived with dreams too fragile to touch, too distant to claim. Life gave her nothing beyond survival, no spark of hope, no hand to hold. Until one day, a letter arrived—simple words that shattered her silence: “You will be the life partner I’ve searched for all along.” But the sender is no ordinary man. He belongs to a hidden world, bound by destiny and ancient secrets. His presence awakens something inside her — a power she never knew she carried, a freedom she has longed for all her life. As storms gather and lightning splits the sky, she finds herself drawn into a realm where promises are more than words, and love is entwined with fate. To embrace this unseen promise, she must confront her fears, unlock her own strength, and step into a destiny that could change her forever. Is the letter a cruel illusion, or the key to the freedom she has always dreamed of?

Nina Song transmigrates into the beast world—only to discover she’s become the most infamous “useless” female alive. She’s ugly, talentless, infertile, and utterly unloved by her parents.

Unfortunately, on the very day of the wedding procession, disaster strikes. Seven fiancés publicly break off the engagement. One outright runs away. Humiliated and abandoned, Nina is exiled by her scumbag father. And as if fate isn’t cruel enough—on the road to exile, she discovers she’s pregnant. With nowhere to go, Nina survives alone in the wilderness, struggling to give birth and raise her children by herself. She vows that no matter how hard life becomes, she will protect her babies at all costs. But just as her peaceful life begins to stabilize… Why do the children’s scumbag fathers start appearing one by one? Worse still, they’re none other than the cold-blooded fiancés who once rejected her. So now you want to snatch my children? Dream on! Except… they don’t seem to be here for the kids at all.

“This is my resignation.” He doesn’t look up. “Where’s the money?” “…Money?” “The compensation.” That’s when she learns walking away isn’t free.

She treats him like the mistake she never healed from. They both keep lying. The contract locks her in. The past keeps finding ways back in. Jiah doesn’t beg. She doesn’t fold. She fights him in meeting rooms, in late-night emails, and in every look they pretend doesn't linger. He pushes. She pushes back. The office becomes a battlefield where the flashbacks bleed in—the love they buried, the way it ended, and the kind of hurt that doesn’t die quietly. She’s not just trapped. She’s cornered—and dangerous. He acts untouchable, but she’s the only one who ever got close enough to break him. Some reunions don’t come with closure. They come with teeth.

Yvette Matthews had a great early childhood. She had loving parents that has given her a great life. Her father was a 5-star master chef while her mother was a well known patissier in the culinary world. Her life was great but all of that changed when her parents got into a car accident and died. Yvette was orphaned at a tender age of six years old. In her parent’s wake, a middle aged man with his ten year old son came. He told Yvette that he was her parents’ friend from college and was willing to adopt Yvette. Her having no next of kin and rather than her going into foster care, the adults in the foster agency agreed after checking the man’s background. It was known that the middle aged man was the CEO of a large 5-star hotel and restaurant group that not only operated in the country but around the world. Yvette lived a life as a princess being doted by her stepfather and stepbrother. Even though she lived a life full of luxury, she stayed humble and studied hard to be a good chef and patissier like her parents. She loved her new family, and she harbored romantic feelings with her stepbrother, Joseph Hamilton. Something she kept a secret since she knew her feelings cannot be reciprocated. But all of that changed when her stepfather died of old age. When the lawyer of his stepfather read his last will leaving seventy percent of his fortune to Yvette including the rights to the Hamilton hotels. This shocked many especially her stepbrother, Joseph, since he was only left with thirty percent. But there was a clause in the will, that Jospeh could be the CEO if he marries Yvette and they produce an heir. Her life started to turn gray since Joseph was forced to leave his current girlfriend whom Yvette knew he loved so much and marry her to get the CEO title. Joseph’s kindness and pampering turned into hate and disgust. He became cold and aloof, coming home late and going to work early in the morning. Yvette’s only solace was the son she bore with Joseph on their wedding night. She poured all of her love to her little son. But fate was cruel to her once again when she found out that Joseph was seeing his ex-girlfriend once again. Hearing from someone that they were meeting in a hotel room, she mustered the courage to confront them. Yvette saw the ex-girlfriend in the hotel room wearing sexy lingerie. They got in the heated argument. “Seph does bot love you.” The ex-girlfriend said. “He just married you to get the position that should be rightfully his!” She shouted. “Do you not think I know that?!” Shouted Yvette. “But he is still married to me!” The two were pulling each other’s hair in the hotel balcony which is located at the 43rd floor. They both went over the railed in the heat of the moment and they were holding for dear life. “Dianne!” Joseph voice was heard inside the hotel room. “S-Seph!” The ex-girlfriend shouted. “Help me!” “Dianne!” Joseph was alarmed to see her hanging on the balcony. “Yvette? Why are you here?!” He sounded surprised. “H-Help me.” Yvette cried. “Hold on! I am going to get you out.” Joseph said but he pulled his ex-girlfriend first and took off his coat to put on to her. Yvette’s heart was crushed. She knew in that time that who Joseph really loved was Dianne and not her. This erased all of her hope on being loved and had let go. She felt her body falling for a long time. Yvette’s body felt light and she thought that she had now thrown all of her guilt and the burden in the loveless relationship. She wished that in her next life, she would not have this kind of love once again. But then she opened her eyes once again, to the day when the lawyer would read her stepfather’s last will. “I will changed my fate.” Yvette thought. “In this life, I will not be drowned in a loveless marriage with my stepbrother.”
