Ana, una mujer tímida e introvertida, estuvo enamorada de Denis durante diez años. Pero Denis tenía a alguien en su corazón. Cuando su novia lo dejó para perseguir su carrera, finalmente notó a Ana y le pidió que fuera su novia. Ana se mantuvo devota a él durante tres años, pero Denis la engañó con su primer amor. Peor aún, su manipuladora ex novia la mató. El destino le dio otra oportunidad. Ana renació. Esta vez, juró vengarse de todos los que la habían lastimado. Agustín, el Director Ejecutivo del Sphere Group de industrias, era poderoso y adinerado. Pero murió por la conspiración de su familia. Renacido, estaba decidido a castigar a aquellos que habían conspirado contra él. En su vida pasada, no había podido proteger a Ana, su salvadora. Esta vez, juró amarla y mantenerla a salvo con su vida. Pero Ana ya no creía en el amor. ~~~~~~~~~ "¿Te casarás conmigo?" Los ojos de Agustín brillaban con anticipación y nerviosismo. Sin embargo, Ana estaba tranquila. "Sí", respondió inexpresivamente. "Me casaré contigo. Pero no esperes nada de mí. El amor es lo último que puedo darte". Él sonrió con suficiencia y dio un paso más cerca de ella. "Señorita Clair", le pellizcó la barbilla, "¿estás segura de que no te enamorarás de mí? ¿Puedes resistir mi encanto?" La respiración de Ana se entrecortó, su estómago revoloteando. El desafío en sus ojos y su voz ronca amenazaban con destrozar su resolución de no volver a enamorarse. "Déjame prometerte una cosa: en esta vida, te amaré, te valoraré siempre. Todo lo que quiero es tu confianza".

Dans un monde de compétition constante, un homme vise le sommet. Dans ce nouveau genre de VRMMORPG, il compte devenir le plus fort à tout prix.

Sans idée précise de la façon dont il veut jouer son personnage, Alexandre choisit la race de départ la plus mystérieuse. Cela sera-t-il son chemin vers le succès ou sa perte? L'assistant de jeu semblait croire à la seconde option. "Faites comme bon vous semble, jeune aventurier. Je tiens simplement à ajouter ceci. Ne revenez pas avec des plaintes lorsque vous réaliserez que vous avez fait le mauvais choix," dit l'elfe, le regardant avec une haine manifeste. "Nous verrons bien," répondit froidement Alexandre. "J'aime les défis," ajouta-t-il. "Très bien !" s'exclama l'elfe avec un reniflement. "Vivez l'aventure de votre vie, aussi courte soit-elle," il ajouta sarcastiquement. Devant lui se trouve un chemin incertain, jonché d'épreuves et de difficultés. Mais une chose est claire dans ses yeux. Il deviendra le joueur le plus fort du jeu, même s'il doit pour cela piétiner des montagnes de cadavres. Finis les jours de travailler dur pour rien, c'est le moment de réussir ou d'échouer !

NOT YOUR REGULAR MAFIA STORY! A story of obsession, danger, and the kind of love that demands everything. If you’re looking for soft kisses and fairy-tale promises, this isn’t it. *** “This is not a game,” Lucas growled, stepping in, his presence dark and overwhelming. “Don’t ever do that again. You have no idea what you mean to me.” Claire’s inhaled sharply and she couldn’t believe the next words that came out of her own mouth. “Then show me,” she whispered in a short breath. In one swift movement, his hand gripped the back of her neck. “You have no idea what you’re asking for,” he murmured, staring into her soul, his breath warm against her skin. But Claire didn’t flinch. She slid her hand down, brushing against the hard outline of him through his jeans, maintaining intense eye contact. “I do.” *** Claire was just another struggling actress until a mafia boss handed her a ring and asked her to act as his wife. “Just one year, and you’ll never hear from me again,” he said. Yeah, right. Let’s see how that goes. He’s dangerous. Obsessive. Powerful. And he doesn’t like to share.

Mike se réveille dans un lieu étrange, sans souvenirs, sans repères. Où est-il ? Pourquoi lui ? Des voix hantent son esprit. Des épreuves surgissent sans prévenir. Des rencontres, troublantes et parfois terrifiantes, l'attendent à chaque détour. Très vite, une chose devient claire : ici, fuir n'est pas une option. Pour survivre, Mike devra affronter l'incompréhensible... et plonger dans les profondeurs de sa propre identité. Et si ce monde savait déjà qui il est, avant même qu'il ne s'en souvienne ?

[Mature Content] [18+ Only] [Smut] "Then let's dissolve our mate bond and reject each other! That way, you can make Claire your official Luna!" Addison's chest rose and fell violently, her breaths ragged with fury. "Who said you could leave? You are MINE!" Zion turned feral and took Addison back to their chambers and ravaged her for three days and three nights... "I'll make sure you're tied to this bed, and your legs are so weak you won’t even be able to stand," Zion snarled, pinning her down. His dark eyes flickered with gold, a clear sign that his wolf was watching her from just beneath the surface. ... Because they never truly tried to understand each other, their relationship was filled with misunderstandings. Zion, blinded by his petty pride and desire for revenge, refused to defend himself. He wanted Addison to pay for what he believed she owed him, but that very resentment became his own downfall. Addison, on the other hand, couldn’t wait forever for him to let go of his hatred and pain. She was ready to walk away. But when she finally disappeared from his world, Zion lost his mind. He turned his own pack upside down in a desperate bid to avenge the abuse and torture she had suffered. Yet it was too late—she was gone. And worst of all, he never had the chance to tell her the truth: the pup in the other woman's belly wasn’t his. He couldn’t openly reveal it either, because that woman held a special status they couldn’t afford to offend. Zion had sent Addison away to protect her from being killed, but his pride had cost him everything. Hurting her became his greatest regret—one that overshadowed even the death of his father, the former Alpha. But the Moon Goddess had other plans. Their paths crossed once again. And then, Zion saw her. No, them. Addison had a son. No—she had sons. There was another one. Regret clawed at him. He had once taunted her, wanting to break her, but now all he wanted was to make amends—to reclaim the family he had lost. But how? The gap between them was wider than ever. She wasn’t someone he could simply walk up to anymore. Would he ever get the chance to fix what he had broken? Or would Addison choose the mate her father, the Alpha King, had picked for her? After all, she wasn’t just anyone—she was the Alpha King’s only daughter, destined to be the first female Alpha King in history.

Claire and Emily arrived at university like any other sheltered girls—eighteen, fresh-faced, soft-spoken, untouched. They shared a dorm, giggled through lectures, and whispered about boys like they were stories from another world. But one quiet afternoon, a single accidental click changes everything—a video, a kiss, a flicker of heat between two women. What begins as silent curiosity grows into hunger neither of them understands. They don’t talk about it at first. They can’t. But the silence between them turns electric. Looks linger. Fingers brush. Night after night, desire simmers beneath their sheets. As the weeks go by, restraint unravels. Secrets are traded under covers. Moans echo against thin dorm walls. They explore each other first—but it doesn’t stop there. Claire wants to know what it’s like to ride a cock. Emily wants to be used. Their innocence rots into obsession, and they begin to spiral—hard and fast—into the arms, mouths, and beds of anyone who wants them. Professors. Jocks. Nerds. Girls. Groups. No shame. No rules. Just sex. By the end of the semester, Claire and Emily aren’t the quiet girls in the back row anymore. They’re the ones everyone’s fucked. The ones everyone wants to fuck again. And they don’t care who knows. Because once the floodgates opened, they never closed.

Three days. That’s how close I was to marrying Alistair, the man I’d loved for six years, the man whose life I’d literally saved with my own rare blood. I was just admiring the final pearl on my wedding dress, a gown I’d poured my soul into, when he called. The wedding? Off. He was marrying my stepsister, Ivy. Her dying wish, he said. Six months to live, maybe less. The kicker? He’d already taken my wedding dress from my studio for her. Just like that, six years, countless transfusions, our shared dreams – all tossed aside for the girl who’d made my life a living hell since childhood. He even offered me “compensation,” as if my future had a price tag. But if Alistair and Ivy thought I’d just crumble, they seriously underestimated me. They wanted my fiancé? Fine. But it would cost them. First, our multi-million-dollar fashion company, Evening Gala – built on my designs, my vision. He signed it over. Then, a cool million for the stolen dress. He paid. Another million for the wedding jewelry they dared to ask me to hand over for Ivy. Cha-ching. You’d think they’d learn. But no. Their next proposal was the most insulting yet: Alistair actually suggested that I should just wait. That after Ivy’s ‘inevitable’ passing in a few months, he and I could just pick up where we left off, have an even better wedding. Seriously? Enough was enough. If Ivy wanted to play bride with my life, she was going to get a taste of what happens when you push someone too far. Let's just say her hospital room celebration involved a lot more smoke, water, and screaming than she bargained for, all thanks to a little wedding gift from yours truly. Now they know I’m not the same Hazel they could walk all over. I’ve got my company, a pile of their cash, and a whole lot of scores to settle. They think this is over? This game of revenge is just getting started. And believe me, I play to win.

Claire, the elegant and envied Duchess of Stoneshire, lives in a gilded cage. Married to the Duke... the cold, untouchable Aether Wolff, her life is a tapestry of duty, silence, and secrets. For five years, she’s played the perfect wife, adored by nobles yet untouched by her own husband. But one night, a quiet ache turns into burning curiosity. She crosses the line. She enters the forbidden South Wing. And everything begins to unravel. Behind locked doors lies a hidden life... a room too intimate to belong to her, whispers of a woman who came before, and a husband who breaks in her arms, only to turn to ice once more. But Claire is not the only one chasing ghosts. Far across the sea now, three powerful men—Aether, King Vaughn, and Prince Liam—search the underworld for HER. A woman who vanished six years ago. A woman who lied to them all. A woman each of them loved in different, devastating ways. And as the past rises to the surface, hearts shatter, truths twist, and obsession burns through loyalty. In a world ruled by empires above and syndicates below, one woman holds the thread to all their unraveling. And Claire is about to find out she’s not just part of the story... She’s standing in the center of the storm. ** Warning: heavy smut as the story progress, viewer discretion is advised. Schedule Upload: Daily - 12:10PM EST / 00:10 GMT +8 Thank you for reading!

The garden glowed beneath a canopy of fairy lights, alive with music, laughter, and the soft clinking of glasses. Anna stood in the center of it all, heart full, watching Mark with his friends and feeling Claire’s steady hand in hers. It was a night of celebration—of love, new beginnings, and everything finally falling into place. As the evening unfolded in perfect harmony, an unexpected tension sliced through the joy. Lauren, Mark’s ex, appeared at the edge of the crowd. She moved silently through the party, eyes fixed ahead, until she stepped onto the small stage where Anna stood. And then—she swung her fist toward Anna’s face.

Anne, a shy and introvert woman, was in love with Denis for ten years. But Denis had someone in his heart. When his girlfriend left him to pursue her career, he finally noticed Anne and asked her to be his girlfriend. Anne stayed devoted to him for three years, but Denis cheated on her with his first love. Worse, his scheming ex-girlfriend killed her. Fate gave her another chance. Anne was reborn. This time, she vowed to take revenge on everyone who had hurt her. Augustine, the CEO of the Sphere Group of industries, was powerful and wealthy. But he died from his family’s conspiracy. Reborn, he was determined to punish those who had schemed against him. In his past life, he had failed to protect Anne, his savior. This time, he vowed to love her and keep her safe with his life. But Anne no longer believed in love. ~~~~~~~~~ “Will you marry me?” Augustine’s eyes sparkled with anticipation and nervousness. However, Anne was calm. “Yes,” she replied blankly. “I’ll marry you. But don’t expect anything from me. Love is the last thing I can give you.” He smirked and took a step closer to her. “Miss Clair,” he pinched her chin, “are you sure you won’t fall for me? Can you resist my charm?” Anne’s breathing hitched, her stomach fluttering. The challenge in his eyes and his husky voice threaten to shatter her resolve to never fall in love again. “Let me promise you one thing: in this life, I’ll love you, cherish you always. All I want is your faith.” ~~~~~~~~~~ You can check my other books.

The powerful and arrogant mafia king offers her a chilling deal: marry him for six months, and he’ll spill the secrets she’s been dying to uncover. But this bargain comes with a steep cost. Her freedom, her pride, and maybe even her heart. Damian doesn’t believe in love. He lives for control, obsession, and power.

Il se réveille dans un corps qui n’est pas le sien. Sans souvenirs clairs. Sans magie. Sans repères. Autrefois, il s’appelait John Clain, le plus grand des exorcistes. Aujourd’hui, on l’appelle Claus Bloodfall. Entre fragments de mémoire, visions brisées et cicatrices oubliées, il devra comprendre qui il est devenu, pourquoi il a survécu… …et surtout ce qu’il est arrivé à Sandra, la femme qu’il a aimée, et peut-être perdue à jamais. Ce corps n’est pas le sien. Cette vie non plus. Mais quelque part dans les ténèbres, la vérité l’attend. Et elle n’a rien d’humain.

Claire Lian Yuxi grew up in France, raised by a Chinese couple who adopted her when she was just a baby. She never questioned where she came from not when her home was filled with love, and her world made sense. But everything changes when her adoptive father falls seriously ill. The only hope is a liver transplant and the best chance of a match lies with a blood relative from his side of the family. There’s just one problem: they’ve lost touch with everyone back in China. With little more than a name and a city, Claire is sent across the world to find someone who might not even exist. But the journey quickly spirals — her bag is stolen, she’s stranded in a place she doesn’t know, and help seems far away. Until she meets Li Zeyan. He’s quiet, serious, and almost too composed not the kind of guy who picks up strangers off the street. But something about Claire softens him, and he offers her a place to stay, just until she gets back on her feet. What neither of them knows is that their lives are already tangled in a way that goes deeper than either of them can see.

"You're mine. And I don't think you wanna go against that." Her eyes dangerously darkened. He gulped, and nodded a yes. --- Everybody has a story. And sometimes, these stories go unnoticed and untold. Even if it's that hard-core and determined badass girl from the school or the one who stays hidden in the shadows with books piled up right in front of him. In a normal high school filled with players, jocks, Heartbreakers and badass personalities, a boy with blue eyes, gel soaked brown hair and adorable face gets claimed by the most feared girl in leather jackets. Lucas Clark was not your average teenage boy. Mean it, he was not.
