Maxs Stiles Daddy

Everyone thought I was just a quiet girl who lived up to her father's money. But that night at the Arcane Hotel changed everything. I woke up in the wrong room, beside a man I didn’t recognize. Two months later—I was pregnant. My step-sister found out. My father disowned me. They thought they had destroyed me. They drugged me. They set me up. They wanted me gone. And they got what they wanted. But they also created something else that night, something they never saw coming. A new version of me. So, I disappeared for six years. And now, I’m back. Not as the broken girl they discarded, but as the woman they’ll regret crossing. Because I didn’t come back alone. I brought my three adorable, little geniuses with me, Luna, Luca, and Leo. And we’re not here to play nice and fair.

Adrian Zhekova sagte: "Was auch immer sie wollen, ich werde dir alles geben. Sollen sie doch neidisch sein." Wenn ihre Gegner Cindy Clarke verleumdeten? Adrian Zhekova sagte: "Ich werde ihr Konto sperren." Das gefällt dir nicht? Ertragen Sie es! Morgan Clarke sagte: "Schluchz, schluchz... Arthur Woods sagt, ich sei ein uneheliches Kind ohne Vater." Nachdem die Familie Woods in Konkurs gegangen war, wandte sich Adrian Zhekova an Cindy Clarke und fragte: "Wann machst du uns offiziell?" Cindy Clarke antwortete: "Seit ich dich getroffen habe, ist es so, als hätte ich einen Schummelcode. Alles läuft nach meinen Vorstellungen." Adrian Zhekova erwiderte: "Das stimmt, ich bin dieser Cheat-Code."

They built the world on bloodlines, crowns, and ancient lies. But one man walks in—unchained, unknown, and untouchable. No prophecy foretold him. No throne birthed him. And no force can stand before him. Ann Zero is a being that defies record, rank, and reason. Armed with forbidden power and a name the stars themselves seem to recognize, he tears through the hierarchy of kings, mages, and monsters—exposing the rotted empires beneath. But this isn’t conquest. It’s correction. As nobles fall, dimensions fracture, and gods awaken, a single truth becomes clear: This world was never ready for him. And by the time it understands what he is… It will already be too late.

Now stuck in a boy’s body, you sneak into an exclusive VIP mafia-son-only event. But when a priceless watch goes missing, you’re the prime suspect. Dragged into a dark room, a gun to your head, you come face-to-face with a dangerous, tattooed mafia heir—cocky, cruel, and annoyingly hot. He looks into your panicked eyes… and smirks. > “Your eyes are too pretty to kill.” His voice is low and dangerous—like he’s already peeling your clothes off with his gaze. *** He’s arrogant, but your eyes make him horny—though he’d never admit it. Will he ever find out you actually belong to the enemy clan? A very forbidden enemy clan. Even as he’s fallen way too deep?

I’m your step daughter.” “Then stop moaning my name like a dirty little whore every time I touch you.” When 19-year-old Amara returns home for summer break, she never expects the cold, powerful man married to her mother to become the center of her darkest, filthiest desires. Damien Knight is her stepfather. Fifteen years older. Dominant. Controlled. And utterly off-limits. But one look at her tight shorts, her braless top, and the soft curves she’s grown into—and all his rules begin to shatter. “You like it when I call you a brat, don’t you? When I pin you against the wall and make you beg?” “Yes, Daddy… harder.” What starts as dangerous tension spirals into nights of rough claiming, dirty confessions, and secret touches in forbidden places. He swore to protect her. She swore she’d never fall for a man like him. But when obsession turns into possession… someone’s going to break. And it won’t be him. “On your knees, Amara. If you’re going to act like a slut, I’ll treat you like one.” The moment she walked into his house, she became his favorite sin. Sweet. Sharp. Seductive. She gave him moans in the dark, lips that whispered surrender, and a body that begged for more. He thought she was innocent. He didn’t know she had a plan. Every night he took her. Every time she said "yes." Every time she fell apart under him—it brought her one step closer to something more dangerous than love. She was playing a game. But so was he. And when lust turns into obsession, and pleasure spirals into madness, only one question remains: Who really is in control? ⚠️They are not blood related ⚠️ muture and erotic also has a good plot not only s*x

Feng Zhaoyun—just as his name suggests, the only time he might’ve looked even remotely ugly was probably when he was still in his mother’s womb. The only misfortune in his life? Growing up without knowing who his parents were. But that didn’t matter, because luck had always been on his side. His life went so smoothly, so absurdly well, that he never once needed help from anyone. He once thought his life would continue like that—easy and boring—all the way to the end. Until one day, he saved a drowning child… and was dragged away by the river himself. When he opened his eyes again, he was in a completely different world, in a completely different body… Heavens! Was this the universe making up for his twenty years of monotony? Finally, a little chaos! He was moved to tears! “What?! I have to share a body with someone else?! Since when did transmigration systems become this stingy?! Crossing into another world and I don’t even get a body of my own?! Where are my human rights?!” Feng Zhaoyun roared in fury. The system coldly tossed a script at him: “Complete the mission faster, and you’ll get your body faster.” “Get out of my body!” A bone-chilling voice rang from the young man who now shared a body with him, hatred dripping from every syllable—he looked like he wanted to split Feng Zhaoyun’s soul in half with a single slash. Feng Zhaoyun just chuckled: “Hehe.” He happily embraced the chaos. Unfortunately… someone else clearly wasn’t enjoying it as much. Little did Zhaoyun know, this “twist” was only the beginning… . . . There are countless people who want to bring me down... But luck has always stood with me!

But the moment he steps foot into the house, the air turns thick—sweet, heavy, intoxicating—and dust begins to rise. And then it forms a man. Naked. Horned. Smirking. Ash.

Mek is a strong-willed, sharp-tongued omega—an art student with dreams, scars, and no patience for arrogant men. One wild night at a club, he crosses paths with Phayu, the dangerously handsome heir to the Enigma mafia empire.

When Phayu begins seeking him out again, they fall into a bedfriends arrangement—passionate, reckless, and painfully undefined. Mek swears it means nothing. Phayu claims he doesn’t believe in love. Yet, every night they share chips away at the walls they’ve both built around their hearts. When Phayu’s powerful family pressures him to bring home a respectable omega, he panics—and names Mek as his secret lover. Caught off-guard, Mek agrees to fake a relationship, not knowing it will change everything. At the grand mafia gala, Mek charms Phayu’s parents, silences cruel uncles, and plays the perfect boyfriend role too well. But behind the act, real feelings are beginning to burn. Phayu, for the first time, sees Mek as more than just a distraction. Mek begins to wonder if there’s more to Phayu than cold hands and heated kisses. As their “fake” relationship deepens into something too real to deny, enemies from the past begin to resurface. Rome, a rival mafia boss, attempts to hurt Mek. Phayu arrives just in time to save him—but the rescue comes at a cost, forcing both men to face the truth: they were never just playing. Now, Mek must navigate life as the chosen partner of a mafia prince, while Phayu learns what it means to truly protect and cherish someone not with power—but with love. Amid family pressure, old enemies, and personal fears, the two must decide if their story is just a passing chapter... or the beginning of something much bigger. In a world where trust is rare and love is a weakness, can a scarred omega and a guarded mafia heir choose each other—for real? Or will the weight of their worlds tear them apart before they ever get the chance?

Carter Brooks is your average 19-year-old—funny, kind, goofy, charming, smart, sneaky, romantic, hardworking, and a shameless food junkie. He's always dreamed of being isekai’d into a fantasy world, where he could explore vast lands, battle powerful enemies, and maybe even build a harem like in the stories he loves. But when a freak lightning strike—courtesy of a bored god—accidentally zaps him to death, his dreams take a hilarious and unexpected turn. Instead of ending up in some afterlife limbo, Carter finds himself face-to-face with eight powerful goddesses, each representing a fundamental aspect of existence: Strength, Wisdom, Magic, Luck, Love, Time, Creation, and Nature. Amused by his weird death and bold personality, they decide to reincarnate him into another world—with maxed-out stats and a divine blessing that makes him an overpowered Level 1 human. On his very first day, he saves two twin princesses from danger, unintentionally launching himself into a legendary journey filled with action, adventure, comedy, and chaos. From joining an adventurer's guild and exploring dungeons to freeing villages, slaves, and entire kingdoms, Carter builds a reputation as the most powerful (and most unpredictable) man in the world. As he travels, he gains loyal companions—and a harem of women from every walk of life: demon queens, princesses, nobles, adventurers, slaves, goddesses, and more. Even the eight goddesses who gave him his second chance can’t help but keep visiting him... and maybe falling for him. But with power comes problems. From corrupt churches, scheming nobles, ancient monsters, and cults, to other gods and cosmic entities, Carter constantly finds himself dragged into conflict—sometimes because he seeks it, sometimes because trouble just has a way of finding him. Whether it's political marriages, divine misunderstandings, or full-scale wars, Carter faces it all with a grin, a punch, and a snarky remark. He's not a hero. He's not a villain. He’s an antihero—a one-man force of nature who answers to no one but himself. And if you mess with those he loves... well, let’s just say you’ve never made a worse mistake. Join Carter Brooks as he turns the world upside-down in the hilarious, romantic, and action-packed legend of the maxed-out stats human who never asked to be a hero—but became a legend anyway.
