Emy Santiago

The CEO’s Fake Bride

A fake marriage. A real past. And a future neither of them saw coming. When rising violinist Noelle Tanaka loses her sister in a tragic accident, she's left with the one thing she can't afford to lose—custody of her five-year-old niece, Emi. But with no husband, no steady income, and a past riddled with mistakes, the court sees her as unfit to raise a child. Enter Micah Lin—Seattle's youngest tech CEO and the man who still believes she betrayed him six years ago. He makes her an offer she can't refuse: a one-year marriage contract. No strings. No feelings. Just appearances. But living under the same roof isn't as simple as signing papers. Not when old chemistry sparks behind closed doors. Not when trust was shattered and never rebuilt. And definitely not when someone is determined to expose their lie. As the custody hearing looms, the lines blur between performance and reality. Because somewhere between court dates and bedtime stories, fake begins to feel dangerously real. What if the biggest lie isn't their marriage—but how little they pretend to care? It all started with a phone call that changed everything. The phone rang at 3:47 AM. --- Perfect for readers who crave emotionally charged romance, slow-burn tension, and second chances that hurt just enough to feel real. Tropes: Fake Marriage • Second Chance Romance • Forced Proximity • Custody Battle • Billionaire Hero • Slow Burn Heat Level: Moderate Triggers: Loss of parent/sibling, custody battle, emotional manipulation

The Subconscious of The Damn Mountain

An international high school teenager named Shouichi Desterling often idled away his time, letting his thoughts run rampant with a wild imagination. However, those intrusive thoughts were well-contained within his mind. Following the recent passing of his father, Shouichi was transferred back to his hometown, Kurohashi, to live with his long-separated mother — the only family he had left. Kurohashi is a secluded small town, surrounded by mountains on all sides. Despite its seemingly ordinary appearance and a minuscule population of just 5,000, the village harbours an oddity: the only way in or out is via a gloomy steel bridge. Not long after his arrival, Shouichi quickly bonded with his classmates, experiencing the semblance of a normal high school life and even finding love. Yet, amid this ordinary existence, he began seeing and feeling inexplicable “things.” Were these strange occurrences mere tricks of his mind, or was there something truly sinister lurking in the shadows? As events unfolded, Shouichi found himself increasingly unable to suppress his mounting insanity and the dark urges creeping into his thoughts. Each day, the air around him grew denser and heavier, as though the very atmosphere bore the weight of an unseen menace. ***[Content Warning: Later on in the story, tragedy will intensify, not suitable for the faint of heart. i.e. NTR, psychological manipulation, trauma, etc.] Current Volume 3 [On-going], Volume 1-2 [Completed] ------------------------------------------------------- Visit the Link below for the Cast Card with a short description/ the Character Drawings/ Chapter Complimentary Images: patreon.com/Joeing_25 Currently contained: Shouichi, Ayane, Shinji, Emi, Momo, Misaki ------------------------------------------------------- ~ Thank you for reading! ~

The Demonic Mercenary Turned Babysitter

Raito Yakamura lived by a code of discipline, efficiency, and control. Once a lethal mercenary, he turned his back on bloodshed to pursue a quiet civilian life. But that calm was an illusion, shattered by the urges he can no longer bury. Raito craves violence. The instincts that made him a flawless killer never left—they only grew hungrier. Enter Kurai, a cunning demon drawn to that darkness. She feeds off his violent impulses, whispering temptations and offering unnatural power in return. Strength, speed, and abilities beyond human limits and all of that in exchange for Raito being her vessel. Just when Raito begins to master the chaos within, he’s saddled with an infuriating new responsibility: babysitting. An old client vanishes, leaving behind two girls—Raika, a sarcastic, headstrong teen, and Emi, a giggling baby. To Raito, it’s a nightmare. He never asked to play house or change diapers. The only reason he’s even involved is because the girls’ sharp-eyed grandmother with dangerous connections threatened to destroy the quiet life he’s built if he refused. And Raito knows she absolutely can. So now, stuck changing diapers by day and suppressing bloodlust by night, Raito finds himself guarding two girls he never wanted to care about—all while Kurai grows stronger, feeding on his every violent impulse. He’s not doing it out of kindness. He’s doing it to survive. But survival gets complicated when emotions get involved... and monsters—both human and not—start circling. He’s not cut out for this. But that doesn’t mean he gets a choice.
