twisted

A blindfolded woman. A captor who speaks calmly to the camera. And a video the whole world can’t stop watching. Late one night, a disturbing clip goes viral—showing a young woman tied up, her captor’s voice echoing in the dark. While the internet debates whether it’s real, her boyfriend reports her missing. The victim is Mitra, a software engineer and small-time social activist… and the key witness in an unresolved kidnapping from two weeks earlier. Trapped and threatened, Mitra refuses to break. Instead, she engages her captor—who calls himself Sashi—in a dangerous psychological battle of truth and lies, probing into his secrets as he digs into hers. As Vishal races against time to find her, Sashi releases more videos to the public. Each one is a twisted interrogation. Each one paints Mitra not as a simple victim—but as a guilty person with a hidden past. The clues lead back twelve years, to a quiet town, a brutal murder, and a past neither Mitra nor Vishal ever escaped. This is not just the story of a kidnapping. It is the unraveling of a chain of murders spanning more than a decade—and an obsession that was waiting to be exposed. When the truth finally surfaces, who will be left standing?

They called her a prophet yet burned her like a traitor. Seraphiel Ashvern foresaw her own betrayal long before it happened—saw the man she loved frame her for treason, steal her prophecies, and burn her family alive. She could have stopped it. She didn’t. Because only by dying could she become something far more dangerous. Three years after her execution, Seraphiel returns as a Revenant Seer, wielding forbidden death-magic and a future soaked in blood. The kingdom hails her betrayer, Caelum Thorne, as a living saint—unkillable, adored, and on the verge of godhood. To destroy him, Seraphiel must ally with Nyx Valdren, the exiled warlord known as the Eclipse Tyrant—a monster who never lies, never begs, and never pretends to be good. He offers her truth instead of mercy… and a war that could burn the world. Caught between a saint who wants to own her and a villain who gives her a choice, Seraphiel must decide how far revenge is worth taking—even if it costs her soul, her body, and the last thing she still believes in. Because this time, she isn’t running from fate. She’s hunting it.

What do you do when you're at a concert, dancing and trying to forget a colleague you've had a crush on, then suddenly a stranger grabs you from behind, and fucks you till you're too weak to stand? Yeah, that's my situation right now. Crushing on the handsome Alex - who, by the way, doesn’t know I exist - has made me make VERY crazy life decisions, including seeking the help of an arrogant love doctor, and disguising myself as a man just to work with him in his new company.

Did I also mention that I hate my new boss? Yeah, Maxwell Wellington is just so annoying, infuriating and insufferable, and it seems the feeling is mutual cause he hates me too.

To save his kingdom from a curse of stone, a dying prince buys a girl who is a living battery, only to realize he has unleashed a power that will either melt his heart or incinerate the world. Elara Vance is the collateral for a debt she did not rack up. Sold by her father, Silas, to the dreaded Julian Vane, she becomes a living anchor against the Stonework Curse. As the "Dead Prince" of Oakhaven turns to literal marble, Elara’s scent of Night-Blooming Cereus fractures the frost on his skin. It awakens a predatory hunger dormant for a century. What begins as a cold transaction shifts as Julian loses his senses, becoming entirely dependent on Elara’s heat to remain human. Through forbidden research, a dark truth emerges. Elara is a Seeker. She is a rare conduit of power Silas has been priming like a battery for twelve years. The dynamic of captor and captive shatters as Julian realizes he is not just collecting a debt. He is guarding a prize the entire underworld is coming to claim. Hostility melts into a volatile and touch-starved attraction. As they share a Shadow-Seeker bond, Elara begins to inherit Julian's ruthlessness. She transitions from a victim to a predator who finds power in his terrifying devotion. Betrayal strikes when Julian’s former lover, Isolde, baits them with a Heart-Stone shard. This catalyst triggers a violent transformation rather than a cure. In the heart of a forest siege by the Fenris Pack, Julian’s self-control snaps. He pins Elara against the ancient stone with fangs at her throat. He is ready to consume her to survive. When he finally bites, her Seeker blood acts as a detonator. His marble skin explodes like shrapnel to reveal the Dragon Beast within. Julian becomes a storm of obsidian scales and hellfire, annihilating their enemies to protect his anchor. The journey concludes in the Blackwood where Elara chooses to rule. She performs the Vow of the Obsidian Heart to bind Julian’s divinity to her own heartbeat. He is restored to a god-like state, but he can only draw his power through her command. The Dead Prince and his Seeker Queen transform Oakhaven into a fortress of glass and shadow. Elara remains not as a prisoner, but as the wielder of the beast. As they host a gala for their fallen enemies, Elara feels a sudden, icy shiver. A figure at the back of the hall raises a glass, revealing a mark on their wrist that matches the one on Silas’s stolen relic. The debt was never truly settled

"What happens when your one-night stand plans to become your stepdad?" It's been two weeks since that night, but I still can't forget him. It was so enthralling that the thrill stuck to my bones till now. It weighed on my mind like a dumbbell and cost me my concentration. A man so hot... Ah, how could I forget him? I wanted to see him again. I wanted to feel his warmth, his aggressive arms, and the way he smirked ever so often while I moaned like a messed-up recorder underneath him, sounds he seemed to favor. But it was just a fling between two strangers. No strings attached, and no names involved. I thought I would never see him again, until he showed up in my living room with his arms around my mother. And she said, "Ha-Joon, this is Tae-Hyun, my fiancé. We're getting married in a few days, so get ready." My heart stopped for a moment as my world shook. And then he looked at me, his devilish eyes met mine. I gulped. They were those same eyes that had seen too much of me. He remembered me, that was certain. And judging by the way he smirked at me, he wasn't done with me yet. Just how did that handsome, no, how did that hot man suddenly gain the identity of my stepfather? (A curious naive college student who wanted to have sex for the first time took his first dive into danger, only to find out the tiger he slept with was about to become his family) Note: this isn't an incest story so read the auxiliary chapter to know more before coming to your conclusion.

In her previous life, Bethany was a top-tier survivor in an apocalyptic world where clean water and food was rarer than diamonds and betrayal came quicker than bullets. Ruthless, smart, and fiercely adaptive, she rose to become the leader of The Red Dawn Alliance, a powerful syndicate of Awakened ability users. But just when she thought she'd secured peace for her people, her most trusted aide and the only friend she dared to have stabbed her in the back in exchange for power. Literally. Now, Bethany wakes up… not dead, not in the apocalypse but inside a historical Chinese novel called Crimson Blossoms Under Heaven, a dark revenge drama she had once binge-read for the plot (and the hot male lead). She’s not the heroine. Nope. Instead, she had become Lan Yue, a lowly handmaiden doomed to die after betraying her mistress, the novel’s brilliant heroine. A cannon fodder side character destined to be nothing more than a footnote. But Lan Yue had no intention of playing her role. Why fight for someone else’s glory? Why throw herself into dog-blood drama filled with betrayal, revenge, and endless schemes? All she wanted was simple: Eat good food. Sleep as much as she wanted. Live quietly, far away from the chaos. Unfortunately… the heroine had other ideas. At first, her smiles were sweet, her words dripping with warmth. But the more time passed, the more Lan Yue noticed something was wrong. The heroine’s touches lingered too long. Her gaze burned hotter than it should. And instead of chasing the male lead, she clung closer and closer to her. “Lan Yue,” the heroine’s lips curled in a chilling smile, “Where do you think you’re going? You’re mine.” Lan Yue: “...” Wait. Weren’t you supposed to love the hero?! Please also check out my other books Why Is Every Male Lead Obsessed With Me?!

Alongside him is Lyra Holloway, sharp and fearless, and her gentle girlfriend Vivienne Blackwood, both hiding their own truths. Then the murders begin. Six students. No witnesses. No evidence. All suspicion falls on one name: Cassius Rowe—the cold, distant boy everyone fears but no one truly knows. But Rowan’s attention is drawn elsewhere—to Orion Lennox, the most respected student in the school. Calm. Untouchable. Dangerous. And slowly, irresistibly, Rowan falls in love with him. What Rowan doesn’t know is that Orion is helping him investigate… while hiding the darkest secret of all. Because the killer everyone overlooked was never Cassius.

Veera Herrera had the perfect childhood and upbringing. Even though her mother had left her life very early on she had the most amazing father. And her father had the most amazing best friend. His name was Theodore Harrison, and he worked in the same company as her father. Growing up she called him Uncle Theo. Everything in her life was perfect. Until, it wasn't. The day after her graduation, Veera's father got into an accident and tragically died. Veera was devastated. Theodore was devastated. They had nobody but each other to lean on as they struggled through the grieving process. Veera was grateful to still have her Uncle Theo with her and embraced him tightly. Theo too was grateful to still have his adoptive daughter with him. Though she had always called him Uncle, he always saw himself as her second father. He did what he'd always done and stroked the top of her head. But the moment Veera looked up at him with her teary eyes, something changed. She didn't look like a little girl anymore. And he no longer looked like her Uncle anymore. In that subtle moment of grief and vulnerability, something within then changed and they were not able to look at each other the same way again. What they were feeling was wrong. The atmosphere between them was charged. Neither one acknowledged the change. They did not dare to point out the obvious. They couldn't. What would people think? What would her dead father think? But feelings cannot simply be evaded. Especially not those built on love. All it took was one bottle of wine and a rainstorm. They sat across from each other, on the anniversary of the deceased and shared stories of the past. There was laughter and tears. A lot of tears. And then the gentle pairs of hands which reached out to comfort each other suddenly could not let go. Veera had great respect for her Uncle Theodore. But what was happening now? Why was she in his bed? Why did her body feel so hot? Why was she returning his every kiss and touch and stroke? Why did he hold her so tightly and yet it didn't feel tight enough? And the aching emptiness inside of her, it was gone. At what point did respect turn into romance.
