“Help me, please,” Bella pleaded, grasping his hands. His dark eyes, devoid of warmth, pierced through hers with an unsettling coldness. "Why should I mess with those goons to help you?" he asked callously. “I’ll do anything you say,” she said without thinking, desperate. “Just save me from them.” He demanded something that Bella had never anticipated even in her dreams. A contract marriage! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bella Dawn was already in distress to pay her step father’s debts. To add her misery, her mother was diagnosed with liver disease and needed immediate transplant. Where would she get that much money? Then, like a cruel twist of fate, she accidentally encountered a handsome man, Theodore Reid, the enigmatic CEO of Ace Group. Rumors said that he was a ruthless businessman with a heart as cold as ice. Yet, to Bella, he was kind, rescuing her from the clutches of those who sought to exploit her. She was grateful to him until he demanded something weird, shattering her pervious assumptions. He wanted to marry her. No He wanted a contract marriage. In exchange, he would take care of her mother's treatment and compensate her generously at the end of their arrangement. For Theodore, it was a solution born out of necessity, a means to appease his grandfather's demands for an heir while he searched for the one who had once saved him, his angel. Bella’s appearance reminded him of his savior. So, he offered her a contract marriage. It was a temporary solution to his grandfather’s demand to get an heir until he found his angel. With no other options left, Bella reluctantly agreed to the terms of the contract. But little did she know it would test her resolve and resilience like never before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Remember one thing, never fall in love with me,” he said, cold and dangerous. Bella gulped, nervous. “What if I do?” A sliver of defiance, a foolish question escaped her lips. She was already attracted to his handsome appearance. He squeezed her jaw and hissed, “You will regret it.” “What if you started liking me?” she dared to ask. He leaned closer, his breath warm against her ear. "No chance," he scoffed. "You're not my type." Bella’s heart sank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can check my other books.

“I’m no angel, baby girl. I’ll make you cry, curse, and scream every night once you’re mine. So think twice before you sign this goddamn contract.” +++ Rivana Faye thought nothing could get worse than catching her husband and step-sister making out on their wedding anniversary, only to be shot dead the same day. Instead of the afterlife, Rivana woke up back in the past, on her wedding day, staring right into the eyes of the same bastard who had ruined her life. Fueled by vengeance, she planned to marry him and tear his world apart, just as he had done to her in her previous life. That is, until Azrael Dynar, her supposed husband’s older brother, stepped in with a shocking claim: that they were already married?! "Wifey, are you cheating on me with this tiny loser? Tch, you have poor taste," Azrael drawled, flashing their marriage certificate to everyone's horror. Azrael was everything Rivana had heard in hushed whispers: cold, cunning, and irresistibly seductive. But to her, he was oddly caring and fiercely protective. He even vowed to destroy everyone who had hurt her as long as she continued to be his side, as his darling wife! And the deeper Rivana sank into Azrael’s world, the more her defenses crumbled, leaving her with nothing but growing desires for him. Little did she know, the man she was falling for was no guardian angel but a devil—one responsible for her death, and the very one who could destroy her all over again. --- Excerpt: "You seem to have experience in seducing women, Mr. Dynar," Rivana joked, licking her ice cream. Azrael smirked at her laugh, and the next moment, he pulled her chair closer, causing Rivana's heart to skip a beat. Before she could catch her breath, he suddenly captured her lips, tasting the sweet chocolate on her lips. Pulling back slightly, Azrael smiled, enjoying her reaction. Tracing her lower lip with his thumb, he declared, "You are the first woman I have ever tried to seduce, Rain. And you will also be the last."

Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night. Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband. To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare. Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt. Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn. What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself. Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn, having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game. Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur. Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated. Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again? ****Exerpt**** Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

The clock ticked ominously in the dimly lit apartment, shadows stretching across the walls like dark tendrils. Jane's hands shook as she picked up her phone, her heart pounding in her chest. She glanced at the mirror, catching a glimpse of her reflection-eyes wild, lips trembling. With a deep breath, she dialed 911. "Police emergency," a calm voice answered. "Come to 123 Maple Street," Jane's voice was urgent, laced with desperation. "Unless it's going to be a vulture's desire..." "Ma'am, can you explain what's happening?" The dispatcher's tone shifted from routine to concerned. "No time!" Jane interrupted, panic rising within her. "Just come!... As she hung up, the silence felt suffocating. Memories flooded her mind-her ex-boyfriend's betrayal with her former best friend, the gut-wrenching pain of being replaced. She could almost hear their laughter echoing in her ears, mocking her. With tears streaming down her face, Jane sank to the floor, clutching the phone tightly. A dark resolve settled within her...

The most powerful and advanced race in the Chaos universe has sent its state-of-the-art research ship into space to search for inhabited planets and, if necessary, colonize them. Years later, on their way back home, their sensors caught a strange energy fluctuation coming from the black hole they passed near. Therefore, they changed direction and got as close to the black hole as possible. At that moment, the lightning energy suddenly released from the black hole hit the research ship. The ship, whose all systems suddenly shut down, lost its balance and was pulled into the black hole. After a while, the ship started working again, but it was too late. They could not escape from the black hole due to their insufficient energy, but sensors discovered that there was a wormhole inside the black hole. The ship heading to that point passed through the wormhole at the last moment and reached a very small universe. When they began to examine the new universe closely, they were immediately spotted by the local races and a war broke out between them. They lost the war because their advanced weapons were useless in this universe. And the new owner of the ship became the clan of the Immortal Ahzab. About 20 years later, all the clans who wanted to take over the ship united and declared war on Ahzab's clan. Ahzab's clan managed to escape from this green world by ship, but suffered many casualties. When they left the black hole with the ship and reached the universe of chaos, there was no trace of those following them. However, the condition of the ship was not very good. They set out for the nearest habitable planet. The ship quickly entered the atmosphere after many problems and sank after hitting the ground . Time passed quickly and years later, a new student joined the clan of the immortal Ahzab.

Kat grumbled a little before reluctantly quieting down, allowing Lucian speak. He continued, his eyes locking onto hers. "The second thing the mark does is tie your fate to the Kelpie's. I injured it badly. stabbed it in the back and it's neck. If it dies because of those wounds, you will die too." She felt a cold shock wash over her. "What? That's insane! Why would I die if it dies?" "The mark it put on you," Lucian explained, his hands never stopping their motion with the pen. "As the Kelpie suffers, so will you. It's dying now, and if it succumbs to its injuries, you'll follow soon after." "Wow, Katherine, way to go. You really outdid yourself," Kat muttered to herself, taking a deep breath. "Seeing a wet horse despite the dry weather wasn't enough for you to think something was wrong." "You saw it wet?" Lucian asked, his eyebrows frowning slightly. "Huh?... Yeah, is something wrong with that?" Kat asked, wondering why the horse being wet was more important to him at the moment than her dying. Lucian didn't say anything but just stared at the girl in front of him. 'There is something more to her, I just can't tell what it is' he thought. To further confirm his suspicion, he moved closer to Kat, closing the distance between them. He reached for the shoulder of her dress and pulled it down. The sudden action startled Kat. She exclaimed, "What do you think you are doing, pervert? Get away from me!" She tried hitting him, but she barely had the strength to sit up, let alone push him away. Lucain paused, staring at her bare shoulder. Kat followed his gaze and gasped. "What is that?" she asked, her voice trembling. On her shoulder was a strange mark, like a tattoo of a hoof print with foreign writing within it. Lucain hummed thoughtfully, his expression still impassive. 'As I thought, she shouldn't be able to see it, but she can. That's unusual for a human.' Kat frantically tried to wipe the mark off. "Why won't it come off?" "That's the Kelpie's mark," He pointed out, his tone remained indifferent. Panic surged through Kat. She hadn't just narrowly escaped death; it was now chasing her, bound to her by an invisible tether. "Is there any way to break the bond...mark whatever it is? I don't want to die," she asked desperately, her eyes searching Lucian's for any sign of hope. Lucian's expression stayed the same. "I don't intend to let you die so soon," he said. "We can replace the Kelpie's bond with another bond." Kat clung to this glimmer of hope. "How do we do that?" she asked, leaning forward, eager for a solution. "It requires a new bond, a stronger one that can override the Kelpie's," Lucian explained, his demeanor calm and composed. Before she could ask what he meant, Lucian reached out and gently pecked her on the forehead. Kat froze, completely caught off guard by the unexpected action. The brief contact sent a jolt through her, and she barely had time to react before he pulled her into a gentle embrace, careful not to hurt her already pained body. Her mind raced, trying to process the sudden shift from their conversation to this intimate moment. The warmth of his embrace contrasted sharply with the cold fear that had gripped her moments before. She caught the scent of rosewood and felt his firm body against hers, making her heart skip a beat. "What are you doing?" she whispered, her voice shaky. Kat's heart pounded in her chest. She felt Lucian's face bury itself in the crook of her neck, his breath warm against her skin. His grip on her waist tightened slightly. She winced as she felt a sharp pain. Lucian's fangs sank into her neck, causing her to gasp and grip his shoulder, her fingers digging into his shoulder.... **** disclaimer: cover not mine.

Losing 145,000 ETH was a nightmare that I never expected to experience. I had spent years building my portfolio, taking meticulous care with my investments, and managing my wallet with as much caution as possible. However, a combination of a technical glitch and an unfortunate series of human errors led to me losing access to my funds. My heart sank when I realized my 45,000 ETH was gone, and I had no way of accessing it. I felt completely helpless. The first step I took was to reach out to a few well-known recovery services, as I was desperate to reclaim what I had lost. Unfortunately, what followed was a series of disappointing, frustrating, and ultimately futile attempts. Many of these companies promised to recover my ETH in no time, with flashy websites and exaggerated guarantees. But as the days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, I began to notice a disturbing pattern: they took my fees, continued to offer vague updates, and in the end, I saw no progress. I had already given them large sums of money with little more than generic excuses and occasional, empty reassurances. I was beyond frustrated, feeling that I had been taken advantage of by the very people who were supposed to help. After these failed experiences, I was at my wit’s end. I was almost ready to accept that my 145,000 ETH was lost forever, when I came across CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES . At first, I was cautiously optimistic but wary after my previous setbacks.

They were transparent from the beginning, explaining the technical challenges and setting realistic expectations. This honesty and clarity immediately set them apart from the other companies I had worked with, who had made wild claims without ever understanding the specifics of my case. The team at CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES didn’t just throw generic solutions at the problem; they engaged with the issue at hand with a level of technical sophistication and expertise that I had not seen before. They carefully analyzed my wallet, the associated blockchain transactions, and the error that had caused me to lose my funds. They also explained the cryptographic protocols involved and how they would go about recovering the ETH. Throughout the process, I was kept informed every step of the way. No hidden fees, no vague answers—just real, genuine effort. Finally, after what felt like an eternity of hard work, CRYPTO RECOVERY SERVICES successfully returned my 45,000 ETH. I was stunned.

My life had always been a series of disappointments. Every dream I chased—whether career ambitions, friendships, or even love—seemed to fall apart. By the time I turned 22, I had hit rock bottom, questioning if life was even worth living. That’s when I discovered VRMMORPGs (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games), a world where I could escape my misery and become someone else. One game, Gildoria Online (GO), stood out above all. Set in a realm of magic and swordplay, it was everything I had ever dreamed of. A place where I could grow stronger, conquer kingdoms, and battle legendary foes. At the top of the game was the ultimate challenge—the Demon King, who ruled over a demon army from the top floor of Doomspire Tower in the Demon Kingdom. In GO, my character’s name was Yeongho. I dedicated myself to the game, rising to Level 200 and becoming a respected veteran known for my skill. I spent my time helping newcomers, offering guidance and encouragement. That’s when I met her—a red-haired girl with mesmerizing green eyes. From the moment we crossed paths, I felt an undeniable connection. We became inseparable, laughing, exploring, and conquering the game’s toughest challenges together. For the first time in years, I felt truly alive. But then, disaster struck. Players across the world suddenly vanished from their homes and found themselves physically transported to Gildoria. In a shocking turn of events, 500,000 players were trapped in the game, transported to another world. Gildoria Online had become a supernatural death game. The stakes were no longer just virtual. The game’s system remained intact, and if a player’s HP dropped to zero, their real body would perish, causing them to vanish from Earth forever. The only way to survive and return to Earth was to defeat the Demon King. I wasn’t logged in when the catastrophe began, but when I saw Mina’s ID among the trapped players, my heart sank. I couldn’t just stand by. Without hesitation, I logged in, determined to rescue her from this nightmare. My body slowly transformed into shards of light, and I was transported to Gildoria. This is the story of how I fought against time, fear, and a death game to rescue the girl I met in a virtual world—a world where the line between life and death had disappeared.

Alex had always been driven, working tirelessly to climb the corporate ladder. Landing a job at Hamilton Corp, the most prestigious company in the city, had been the culmination of all his hard work and sleepless nights. And when he was appointed as the assistant to the company’s president, Drake Hamilton, it felt like a dream come true. Alex couldn’t believe his luck—working alongside a business legend known for his unshakable calm, sharp intellect, and a presence that commanded any room he walked into. But Drake was more than just an intimidating boss. He was an enigma, a man who somehow knew everything happening within the company, often before it even happened. There were whispers among the staff, rumors that seemed too absurd to be true, that Drake didn’t age, that he was rarely seen in the daylight, that his presence felt... different. One late night, after a particularly exhausting day, Alex decided to stop by a quiet bar downtown to unwind. As he took a seat near the back, his eyes caught sight of someone in the shadows—a familiar figure he hadn’t expected to see in a place like this. Drake Hamilton. At first, Alex assumed his boss was just having a late-night drink. But then, he noticed something that sent a chill through him. In the dim light, Drake’s head was tilted, and his mouth was near the neck of the person beside him, a pair of sharp fangs glinting in the shadows. Alex's blood ran cold. He felt his heart thunder in his chest, disbelief settling over him like a fog. He took a shaky breath, whispering to himself as reality sank in. "The president of Hamilton... is a vampire."

I never thought much about it—until one day, a routine software update went terribly wrong and wiped out all my local files. Just like that, $600,000 worth of Bitcoin was suddenly inaccessible. My heart sank as I realized the magnitude of the situation. To make things worse, I had been in such a rush the day I set up the wallet that I didn’t carefully document my recovery phrase. I know it was a rookie mistake, but it was the worst kind of oversight. When the update happened, I was left helpless with no way to access my wallet. I spent days going through old notes, trying to remember where I might have stored the backup phrase. I looked everywhere—folders, emails, notebooks—but came up empty-handed each time.

But sometimes, life throws you a curveball, and you find yourself in a situation you never imagined. For me, that came when my Ledger, which contained $400,000 worth of Bitcoin, was damaged in a house fire. The fire was devastating in more ways than one. I had always believed the hardware was nearly indestructible, but after the incident, I couldn’t get the device to boot up at all. My heart sank as I tried everything to get it to work, only to be met with silence. As if that wasn’t bad enough, my backup phrase—the only thing that could have saved me—was stored in the same house and was completely lost in the fire. In a matter of hours, everything I had carefully built and protected felt like it was gone. I was beyond devastated. Losing both the device and my recovery phrase was something I had never prepared for. It felt like the ultimate nightmare. I contacted Ledger support, hoping for a miracle, but their solutions were limited to simple troubleshooting steps that couldn’t address the damage to my hardware. After exhausting their options, I realized I needed specialized help. I wasn’t ready to give up, so I started researching other possibilities. That’s when I discovered ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST on a crypto security subreddit. The stories I read about their success in similar situations gave me a glimmer of hope.

I still can’t believe they pulled it off—they truly are ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST! Not only did they recover my funds, but they also restored my peace of mind. I’ll never take security for granted again, but I know that if I ever find myself in a bind, ADWARE RECOVERY SPECIALIST is the team to contact. Get in touch with them with the information above:

"You are lying!" she retorted, her voice ringing with a blend of indignation and despair as she surged to her feet and crossed the space to his side. Her anger struck him as somewhat bemusing, and in a different circumstance, he might have been tempted to applaud her unyielding spirit. "I am an apex predator. I am what monsters and all things wicked fear. How could you imagine I would concern myself with something as fickle as emotions, let alone for a witch?" he asserted, his words delivered without the slightest quiver of doubt. His words landed like a blow to her very core. She had never anticipated such a stinging rebuttal from him. "If you can look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing for me, then I'll leave you alone," she challenged, her tone calm amid the raging storm of emotion that churned within her. Her words felt like a knife piercing through his cold heart, leaving Damien to grapple with the weight of her final statement. He hesitated for a few fleeting moments before lifting his gaze to meet hers. "I don't," he declared, the words slipping from his lips with austere finality. Lauren's heart sank upon hearing his response; she sensed within her that he was not speaking the truth, but what recourse did she have? Before she could utter another word, the ringing of her phone pierced the solemn air. Engaging with the call, she answered, "Hello, Director." Briefly acknowledging the conversation, she swiftly concluded, "Alright, I'll be there," before ending the call. "Thanks for the meal once again," she offered in a flat voice, devoid of any discernible emotion. Damien found himself taken aback by the sudden shift in her demeanor, feeling the impulse to say something, but before he could gather his thoughts, she had already entered the elevator. Making her way towards the exit, she soon drove off, leaving Damien to stand before the towering windows, watching her departure with a silent ache lingering within him. As she disappeared, he turned his gaze inward, pondering the emptiness that seemed to pervade his residence. Reflecting on his actions, he found himself questioning whether he had made the right choice in pushing her away, but he understood that only time held the answers.

if you love dramas,you'll love this. "My beautiful Margaret," Lewis uttered, his palm grazing my cheek. His eyes bore into mine, a mixture of sorrow and regret. "At least you used to look beautiful before we got married." His words hung in the air, heavy with disappointment. The room seemed to close in on me, the walls suffocating. What had happened to us? Was our love merely a facade, a beautiful lie? "I am in love with Ariana," Lewis confessed, his voice barely audible. "We've been together for a long time, and it's her my heart now yearns for." My heart clenched. Ariana—my best friend. The revelation struck me like a lightning bolt. How had I missed the signs? How had our love unraveled so completely? I sank to my knees, tears streaming down my face. The pain was unbearable, a raw ache that threatened to consume me. Lewis sighed, the sound echoing through the room, and then he walked away. In that moment, my world shattered. Love had betrayed me, and friendship had crumbled. I was left with nothing but the remnants of a broken heart, wondering if any of it had ever been real.
