Father Of The Bride Book

She was the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy family—abandoned by her father, oppressed by his legal wife, and humiliated by the so-called sister. She watched her mother perish in a raging fire and was thrown into the flames herself. Her name was Janice. And she died in that fire. Ten years later, under a new identity and the name “Janet,” she survives in silence. Forced by her stepmother to marry a wealthy heir rumored to be "paralyzed and disabled," she becomes entangled in a vicious struggle of family betrayal and ruthless power games. With cold eyes, she watches the hypocrites who once trampled her into the mud—one by one, they will become prey on her road to revenge. Her wheelchair-bound "husband" Philip, the feuding brothers Charles and August… But what she didn't expect was that the boy who once quietly handed her a handkerchief all those years ago would become the most unpredictable piece in her game of fate. She has returned—not for hatred, but to personally end the past that was once crushed beneath their feet.

When Isla wakes up with no memory of her wedding day, she’s told she’s married to Damien Blackstone—the city’s most feared billionaire. Everyone says he’s her husband, but her heart tells a different story. As Isla uncovers secrets buried in her missing memories, she discovers a chilling truth—she was never meant to be the bride. She was swapped. Now, she must choose: escape the dangerous life she was forced into, or fall for the man who might have orchestrated it all.

Reincarnation? Yes. As the antagonist’s first victim? Hell yes. Some novels you keep reading not for the plot, but because of a single character who grabs your heart. For me, that character wasn’t even the protagonist—it was his mother. Noah was just an ordinary university student. Until one day, thanks to a poorly timed act of “masculine bravado” from his friend, he found himself caught in a scuffle with thugs—and stabbed. Everything went black. Death came quietly. Then he opened his eyes... but they weren’t his. Noah woke up in another body, in another world—and inside the very novel he’d been reading. Worse yet, he hadn’t reincarnated as just any side character, but as Count Leonardo Argenholt, the first person killed by the story’s main villain. Leonardo: noble, handsome, charismatic... and doomed to die very soon. But the most terrifying part? The man destined to kill him—is his own son. Now, Noah must do more than just survive. He must navigate the rules, magic, and politics of this world—and most importantly, understand the tragic villain of the story, who also happens to be his child. Because even if this world appears to follow every fantasy cliché in the book, Noah is no longer just a reader. He’s part of the story now. And maybe... it’s time to rewrite it.

In a cosmos woven through the Aetherium Prime—the foundational plane where thought, will, and energy coalesce—existence is governed by ancient laws and the silent will of The One Above All. Yet, this delicate balance is threatened by a profound schism, born from a primordial act of defiance and a relentless pursuit of transcendence. At the heart of this unfolding saga are Lognos (L2) and Eli Ragual (R2), twin brothers of unprecedented potential. Born from the forbidden union of Miriam Soter, a celestial-blooded Saintess, and Dr. Azrael, a heretical scientist-mystic, their very existence is an act of rebellion against cosmic predestination. L2, the Cosmic Warrior and Ophiuchus Ascendant, embodies intellect and strategy, destined to master the systems of reality. R2, the Spiral Messiah, is a powerhouse of raw strength and transcendence, whose path involves "becoming the storm." Their bond is profound, yet fraught with L2's desperate drive to overcome R2's inherent physical fragility, a struggle that will ultimately lead to their destined fusion into LRD, a universal stabilizer. Their journey unfolds against a backdrop of cosmic warfare, driven by two opposing, yet equally dangerous, legacies: * Cain's Lineage: The progenitor of the Vampire Lords, Cain defied the Creator, his ambition to transcend his curse leading to the birth of his three distinct bloodlines: the Infernal (seeking demonic godhood), the Human (aiming for perfected immortality), and the Beastkin (forging ultimate war forms). Cain envisions the fusion of these lineages into a single, perfect being, asserting dominion over the mortal realms and beyond. * Babel's Legacy: Once the divine Abel, corrupted by Cain's dark arts, Necros Babel became the first Undying Necromancer. His ultimate goal is not vengeance, but a calculated act of cosmic restoration: to erase Kain. Babel believes Kain's continued existence has become a "detriment" to the natural order, and he seeks to unmake the very rules of existence through Eldritch Vampirism—a power that devours concepts and reality itself—to achieve this precise, minimal-damage erasure. As L2 and R2 cultivate their Inner Worlds, forging personal realities that threaten to surpass the Aetheric Plane itself, they ignite a "war between those who govern existence and those who dare to create it." Established deities, categorized by their elemental and conceptual affinities (from Ra and Zeus to Kali and Kael), grapple with the emergence of these new forms of divinity. The Nine Singularities—fundamental truths about Being, Choice, Death, and Godhood—serve as philosophical and existential trials that all ascending entities must confront. The fate of the cosmos hangs in the balance. Will L2 and R2 succumb to the temptations of Cain's raw power or Babel's nihilistic erasure? Or will they forge a new path, navigating the treacherous Wells of Resonance and confronting the ancient Apex Beasts, to achieve a Divine Unity that rebuilds existence rather than destroying it? Their choice will not only redefine their own destiny but reshape the very fabric of reality, determining whether the universe descends into eternal conflict or ascends to a new, transcendent order.

The Unseen: The Bride of the Night Synopsis: On the morning of her forced wedding, eighteen-year-old Asiya runs—not toward freedom, but into the waiting jaws of something ancient. Fleeing her father’s control and the ghosts of a past no one believes, she finds herself drawn to a mansion that shouldn’t exist—a place that breathes, remembers, and chooses its own inhabitants. Inside, she meets Rael: a cursed vampire-jinn prince bound to a dying house, abandoned by a runaway bride, and days away from losing his power forever. Desperate to survive, Rael offers Asiya a deal: marry him by contract, and he’ll protect her from the life she left behind. But this house doesn’t just shelter secrets—it feeds on them. Asiya begins to lose her memories. Whispers echo through the halls. And the bride who fled before her may not have escaped at all. As the house wakes, pulsing with wrath and longing, Asiya must unravel a century-old betrayal—and decide whether she’s a sacrifice, a savior, or something far more dangerous. Because in this house, nothing stays buried. And no bride walks away unchanged.

A few days before her wedding, Melanie's world shatters when her fiance cruelly walks away—only for her to discover he's marrying her sister instead, at the venue meant for her. Heartbroken, humiliated, and abandoned by her family, Melanie ends up in the arms of a cold, powerful stranger: Leonard Westwood, the ruthless billionaire CEO with secrets of his own. He offers her a way out: a two-year contract marriage. No love. No strings. She accepts. But nothing is ever just business when two broken hearts are forced to share the same space. As Melanie steps into her new life, she’s pulled into a twisted web of jealousy, obsession, and betrayal. Rose won’t stop until Melanie is ruined. Adrian, the man who left her, suddenly wants her back. And Leonard’s past won’t stay buried—not when a former lover returns with a vengeance. Worst of all, a hidden truth about Melanie’s identity threatens to turn everything upside down. What happens when they uncover the childhood bond they once shared—but long forgot? In a world of lies, power, and revenge... Will Melanie survive the game she never asked to play—or will falling in love cost her everything?

“You wore red” he murmured, eyes dragging her over like a threat. The silk clung to her body like a dare. She didn’t speak. She didn’t need to. His lips crashed into hers, hungry, rough, devastating.
