The story begins in a prestigious high school where a new student, Liam Weston, enters and immediately catches the attention of every girl on campus. With his striking looks, a perfect combination of intelligence, charm, humility, and an air of mystery, Liam earns the nickname "Mr. Charming". He’s not only from an affluent family but also speaks with an eloquence that leaves everyone in awe. However, his interest lies elsewhere, in someone no one expects—Isabella Grey, a quiet and introverted girl in the junior class. Isabella is the only one who doesn’t find Liam charming and has no interest in being around the popular crowd. As Liam's attention towards Isabella grows, the rest of the school, especially the senior girls, begin to feel jealousy and hatred towards her. The bullying starts slowly, but as the days go on, it escalates—making Isabella's life miserable. The question remains: Why does Liam prefer her over all the other beautiful girls? And what will it cost both of them as their worlds collide? This is a story of obsession, love, betrayal, and courage, set against the backdrop of high school drama and jealousy.

She was born to be his mate. He rejected her in front of the entire pack. On the night the mate bond awakened, the Alpha chose power over destiny—casting her aside as weak, unwanted, and unworthy of standing beside him. Her wolf shattered. Her bond screamed. And she was banished with nothing but her pain. But rejection doesn’t break a mate bond. It turns it into hunger. Now, every night, the Alpha feels it—her heat, her longing, the ache she tries to bury and the desire she no longer hides. The bond pulls harder than ever… and it won’t let him forget what he threw away. She is no longer the broken girl he rejected. She is powerful. Desired. And done begging. This time, if he wants her— He’ll have to suffer first.

A ruthless, super-rich Alpha Kane Sterling descended upon Zara's pack and found his destined mate there.

Summer’s marriage to Gideon had been nothing short of a fairytale. Their days were filled with joy and peace until one incident ruined everything completely. The man she loved the most accused her of cheating. ======= “Who is the father of the child?” Gideon thundered, squeezing her shoulders. His crushing grip made her wince in pain and fear. “It’s yours. Why won’t you believe me?” “I wanted to. But these reports tell different story.” He threw the paternity test reports at her. “Hope is not my child?” The ground shattering revelation rattled Summer. She tried everything to save this marriage, but it didn’t turn well. Hidden conspiracy and betrayal tore her world apart, costing her everything, including her own life. The moment she thought it was over, she found herself gone back in time. She had been reborn. Armed with the knowledge of what was to come, she vowed to protect herself and her family. ====== “Since I’ve been given a second chance, I’ll not let the history to repeat.” She thought she would stay far away from Gideon, but fate had other plans. He appeared in front of her again six years later. This time, he didn’t want to kill her. He wanted to trap her, torment her, and own her. Would Summer let him ruin her again? Would she be able to change her fate this time? “In this life, you can never escape me,” Gideon hissed. Summer looked into his eyes coldly. “We ended things six years ago. I’ll never let you crawl back into my life again.” Pinching her chin, he declared, “No one can stop me from reclaiming you, not even you.”

MANIPULATION GAME [BL] [Top/Seme MC x Multiple Bottom/Uke Leads] TAGS: R18+ | DARK | PSYCHOLOGICAL | MATURE | YAOI | HAREM | BL   WARNING: This novel contains mature themes, psychological distress, and intense power dynamics. Reader discretion is advised. This is not a lighthearted romance.   Jang Taesoo rules the Aurora Consortium with an iron fist, shaping obedience from those under his control. When the weight of his empire grows stale, he finds escape in Lost in Paradise – a romance novel he knows by heart. But his obsession lies not with the female lead, but with the five powerful men who fight to win her hand. A dark hunger stirs within him: to take these untouchable titans and mold them entirely to his will. After saving a child from a truck, Taesoo dies – only to awaken before an ancient Entity that reveals his death was an accident. His final focus on the novel has merged his brutal world with the story’s, creating a twisted reality where he still commands his empire… and where the five men exist as living prey. Given the choice to return or stay, Taesoo chooses to remain – boredom is his enemy, and breaking the unbroken is his new obsession. He will shatter the novel’s saccharine romance, tear apart their devotion to the female lead, and forge their strength into submission. Every man is a challenge to be conquered, a soul to be marked, and a heart to be claimed. Can he bend these powerful men to his will, or will their resistance consume him first?

No more hounding me!” “…Fine.” He signs the marriage contract she writes herself. “Uncle, I need spicy hot pot at midnight…” “…Fine.” He’s out the door in the snow, gathering ingredients until his fingers turn blue. “Uncle, I’m scared. He’s kicking so hard—it hurts…” “Alright, alright—no more babies after this.” On the eve of delivery, he strokes her back, whispering promises until her breathing steadies.

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT!Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons.
