Chasing Love By Kat T Masen

[WARNING MATURE CONTENT, R18+] Michael Specter is a handsome, successful entrepreneur with women throwing themselves at his feet just to spend a night. However, very few know about his menacing side. Twenty-two year old Layla Mclan is in desperate need of a higher-paying job to clear off her mother's debts. Opportunity comes knocking when she successfully applies for work in a richer household, the Conners. But life soon takes a turn when Layla finds out that there is no such household, and instead of working as a maid, she is now a slave to Michael Specter, a billionaire with a twisted mind. Layla’s eyes turned red, shoulders trembling, her soul wanting to reach out to her mom but alas… There was no way out, as she was already locked in the room, succumbing to the fears that didn’t feel very distant; She had gone through the same not long before. The agreement papers turned her body cold. Sometimes the worst seems best and there’s no end to the misery days; The one who avenges, the one who endures remains true to their valor. ‘Rule No. 1: Tending to your Master’s needs should be your top priority. Failing to do so, he can punish you however he pleases.’ ‘However, he pleases? What he’s gonna do to me?’ She mused and felt her heart sinking to the bottom of her chest. ‘Rule No. 2: You cannot say ‘no’ or oppose your Master’s orders.’ ‘Rule No. 3: You’re free to wear clothes of your choice… However, he can make you change it if he wants.’ ‘Rule No. 4: You are not allowed to step outside of the property.’ . . . Excerpt: “Ac-Actually I’m sleepy and I spent my day working for the household… Umm… Master, can I ask you something?” “Go ahead.” “I left my mom back home and I took this offer just to meet the debts… So will you pay me the said amount if I listen to your needs?” She asked in her feeble voice. “Needs Hmm… How about you strip off right now and lie down on the bed?” “What?” She exclaimed in horror. “You heard me,” he sounded dead serious. Layla gulped down the heavy lump that she had been holding for quite some time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOTE*** The cover isn’t mine.

Jincheng, a devil that gave everyone headaches, took a fancy to a girl—he held her so gently for fear of dropping her, and kept her in his mouth for fear she would melt. However, that girl was unappreciative. "I don't need love!" The man revealed a devilish smile. "You need me!" Since then, when she was hungry, he brought food; on rainy days, he provided an umbrella; if someone harassed her, he handed her a brick... every day, he sweetened her life with treats and pampered her a hundred times over. The girl, utterly annoyed, finally lost her temper, "Li Hannian, if you don't stop this, I will... marry you!"

"I need you to take responsibility for taking advantage of me," his words echoed in her mind, like a haunting melody she couldn't escape. Was this big boss just toying with her? She initially thought so, until he began trailing her like a lovesick puppy, his eyes locked on her with unwavering intensity. All because of one steamy, reckless night, her once peaceful and uneventful life was now in shambles. She glanced at a dress at a store, and suddenly, it was delivered right to her doorstep as if by magic. She mentioned a favorite restaurant, and before she knew it, the chef was standing at her door, ready to cook her a meal.

Bound by Fate, Freed by Love Aurora’s world shatters when her fated mate discovers she’s pregnant with another’s child—and casts her aside without hesitation. Heartbroken and exiled from her pack, she leaves behind everything she’s ever known. But the truth is far more extraordinary than anyone could imagine. The child within her wasn’t born of betrayal—it was placed there by the Moon Goddess herself, a sacred vessel destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy. And Aurora, with her pure and unyielding soul, was the only one worthy of carrying it. Determined to protect the life growing inside her, Aurora seeks refuge in the shadows—until fate entwines her path with an enigmatic Alpha. Powerful, dangerous, and burdened by his own scars, he offers her the one thing she thought she’d lost forever—safety. Where her first mate abandoned her, he stands firm. And against the impossible pull of her broken bond, a new connection begins to stir—one built on comfort, trust, and a passion neither can deny. But her past refuses to stay buried. When her first mate discovers the truth about the prophecy child, he hunts her down—no longer filled with rejection, but with a dangerous obsession. Torn between the primal bond she never chose and the one who chose her, Aurora faces an impossible question: Can she defy the Moon Goddess herself and sever the bond that still tethers her heart to a mate who never wanted her? Or will she risk everything for the Alpha who has become her strength, even if it means defying fate itself? With the forces of darkness closing in and both mates refusing to let her go, Aurora must uncover the true meaning of the prophecy—before destiny chooses for her. Bound by fate but yearning for freedom, she must decide: will she remain a prisoner of a bond forged by destiny, or will love give her the power to break free?

She was kneeling in front of the one man she never thought she would need. He wasn’t evil, nor had she ever heard of him indulging in any bad habits, but he was known for one thing—he was not a helper. Mercy was not in his nature, yet at that moment, she clung to the desperate hope that, just this once, he might make an exception and save her life. Lifting her head with effort, she winced under the heavy rain, dragging her broken legs in a feeble attempt to reach him. He stood tall before her, an umbrella shielding him from the downpour. Though she couldn’t make out his face clearly, his cold, piercing gaze burned straight through her soul. A pained grunt left her lips as she stretched a trembling hand toward him, barely able to function as her body weakened by the second. Her vision blurred, the darkness creeping in. The fire’s devastation had left her face unrecognizable, her skin raw with pain, her blood flowing freely. She knew she looked monstrous—exactly what they had intended to turn her into. And now, she could hardly see at all. “Please… help me,” she whispered, her voice barely audible over the storm. He crouched down to her level, his umbrella now shielding her from the rain. With a slow, deliberate motion, he placed a hand under her chin, tilting her face upward to meet his gaze. His voice was as indifferent as ever when he finally spoke. “I thought you knew… helping is not my thing.” Of course, she had known. But somehow, she had still hoped. Hoped that maybe—just maybe—he would make an exception. He wouldn't be that wicked to neglect her in this position. But it seemed she was doomed already. . . . She used to believe in love. She used to believe in family. She used to believe in trust. But trust had nearly cost Isabelle her life. Once, she was just an ordinary girl, hoping for a better future. A future that was promised to her—a life she thought would finally bring her happiness. But in one horrifying night, it was all ripped away. Betrayed, burned, and left to die, she learned the hardest truth: no one was coming to save her. Now, Isabelle is back—but she’s not the girl they left behind in the fire. With a new face and a new name, she has returned for one thing: revenge. But when the man who once refused to help her becomes the only one she can turn to, lines begin to blur. He is ruthless, powerful, and utterly unreadable. She should hate him because he is just one of them—she should fear him—but in his touch, she finds a dangerous kind of solace instead. And in his arms, she just might lose herself all over again. She knows she is playing with fire but maybe this fire won't hurt her.

“If you want my heart, prove your worth.” One fateful day, Jin Ye, the Emperor of the Hwan Empire, discovers a man’s name mysteriously etched onto her skin: Yeon Mugeon. The decree is clear—he is her Soulmate, chosen by the will of Heaven itself. Curious but skeptical, Jin Ye tracks him down to a remote, desolate borderland. What she finds is not the noble warrior or formidable partner she expected, but a lowly peasant—ordinary, powerless, and utterly unfit to stand beside an emperor. “We are a match ordained by the Heavens. But is such a thing truly of any significance?” “Then why...?” “To decide whether to take your head if I found you unsatisfactory. What use is a Soulmate if they’re dead?” “In that case... I desire to possess you.” Deeming him beneath her, Jin Ye orders her loyal confidant to cast him into a cursed wasteland teeming with monsters. Yet against all odds, Mu-geon survives the impossible and returns to her side—not as the hopeless peasant she dismissed, but as a ‘man’ bound to her by an unshakable thread of destiny. “I am not afraid to offer you my everything. Even if you command me to become a monster.” “I grant you permission... to stand as a man before me.” #SoulmateAU #Romance #Fantasy #LoveTriangle #FamaleLead #Loyalty Text copyright ⓒ 2024 by Jeong Euncho All right reserved.
