Melanie Martinez Icons

Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

The Last Patriot

The Second World War ended not in fire, but in compromise. A fragile peace was forged between the United States, the Soviet Union, and the Third Reich after Germany conquered most of Europe. With the formation of a United Nations dominated by four veto powers—USA, USSR, TR, and UK—the world avoided mutual destruction. But beneath this uneasy alliance, a new war brews: not for land or ideology, but for superiority of the human race itself. In the ashes of the old war, the Third Reich unveils Eric, a being born and bred in a laboratory—faster than bullets, stronger than tanks, and presented as the "true potential of the Aryan race." As panic ripples across the globe, the U.S. rushes to respond. Led by brilliant scientist Natalie, the CIA initiates Project Liberty, transforming returning war hero Logan into the American Sentinel—a patriotic symbol of hope in a world sliding toward chaos. In the East, the USSR crafts its answer: Nikolai, a guilt-ridden airman haunted by his past, is reborn through a pain-fueled transformation into the Red Guardian—a reluctant savior torn between duty to his nation and love for his family. As these superpowered icons rise, so do the shadows behind them: Greta, Eric's manipulative handler, schemes to rule the Reich as his empress. Rebecca, Logan’s estranged wife, seeks a life untouched by war’s long reach. Boris, a Soviet general, treats Nikolai as little more than propaganda. And hidden in the Arctic ice lies a secret that predates even Eric—the First Superman. When a global summit descends into fear and threats, and world leaders start falling mysteriously, it becomes clear that peace was only a pause. Eric seizes power in Germany and launches a new wave of conquest—first in the East, then West—threatening to turn the Earth into his empire. Caught in a three-way war between fascism, communism, and democracy, Logan and Nikolai must confront not only each other, but the deeper truth: Are they heroes of their nations, or prisoners of their flags? In the ruins of Moscow, as Eric stands poised to conquer all, the final battle will decide more than the fate of the world—it will determine what it means to be human in an age of gods.

Vom Ehemann verraten, vom Schwager gestohlen

Melanie Collins war die perfekte Ehefrau - fürsorglich, stark und zuverlässig. In den letzten Jahren hatte sie die chaotische Familie und das Geschäft ihres Mannes allein gemanagt, während sie darauf wartete, dass ihr Mann vom Auslandsstudium zurückkehrt. Doch als er endlich zurückkam, brach Melanies Welt zusammen - er war nicht allein. Mit ihm war sein 'bester' Freund. Gebrochen und verwirrt über die Veränderung ihres Mannes, wusste Melanie nicht, wohin sie sich wenden sollte. Und dann stolperte sie in eine weitere kalte Realität. Alles, woran sie geglaubt hatte, war eine Lüge. Vor Wut und Demütigung kochend, während sie versuchte, mit dem Verrat klarzukommen, tritt eine unerwartete Person ins Bild, entschlossen, sie zu verführen und zu erobern. Das einzige Problem? Der Mann war ihr ehemaliger Schwager... Und gegen ihr besseres Urteilsvermögen fühlt sie sich zu diesem Bad Boy hingezogen... Doch als Melanie versuchte, die Veränderungen zu verstehen, entdeckte sie, dass mehr vor sich ging, als sie je vermutet hätte. Hatten sich beide Brüder wirklich in sie verliebt? Oder war sie nur ein Bauer in einem größeren Spiel? Auszug Da er sich bereits gegen den Tisch gelehnt hatte, rutschte er einfach darauf und zog mit einer schnellen Bewegung seinen Stiefel um das Bein ihres Stuhls und zog ihn - zog sie - näher. Die plötzliche Bewegung ließ sie leicht zusammenzucken, und als sie aufblickte oder vielmehr als sie nach vorne schaute, fand sie sich direkt vor dem Reißverschluss seiner Jeans wieder... Sie blickte dann auf und traf seinen Blick. Er fasste ihr Kinn, "Möchtest du überprüfen, ob ich nur vorgebe, süße Melone?" Melanie versteifte sich. Und dann schob sie plötzlich ihren Stuhl zurück, sodass Adam fast das Gleichgewicht verlor, als sie aufstand. Bevor er sein Gleichgewicht wiederfinden konnte, legte sie ihre Hand auf seine Schulter, ihre Finger streiften seinen Nacken. Adam versteifte sich, seine Augen glitzerten, während er abwartete, was sie als nächstes tun würde. Und sie überraschte ihn natürlich, als ihre andere Hand sich langsam auf die Innenseite seines Oberschenkels legte. Und dann begann die Hand auf seiner Schulter sich zu bewegen. Ihre Finger zeichneten die Seite seines Halses nach, bevor sie sich hoben, als sie einen Blick auf den Mundwinkel warf. Das kleine Metallstück, das dort glänzte. Sie schnippte leicht dagegen, kaum eine Berührung, aber Adam konnte die Hitze in seinem ganzen Körper spüren, als sie sich nah heranlehnte, ihre Lippen kaum ein paar Zentimeter entfernt... sodass sie beide den Atem des anderen spüren konnten... Sie lächelte dann langsam. "Vorsicht, Adam", murmelte sie, ihre Stimme verspielt, aber mit der unverkennbaren Schärfe einer Herausforderung. "Treib es weiter, und ich könnte deinen Bluff durchschauen."

Rise to World Champion

RISE TO WORLD CHAMPION In the electrifying, cutthroat world of Formula 1, where billion-dollar machines push the limits of physics and human endurance, a new season ignites, promising the relentless spectacle of speed, strategy, and sacrifice. The year is 2027, and the grid has expanded to a brutal twelve teams, each vying for supremacy across an unforgiving 24-race calendar that spans iconic circuits and thrilling new additions like Magny-Cours, an alternate Russian layout, and Sepang. Into this high-octane arena steps Samuel Bradley, a young, overconfident, and hot-headed rookie whose audacious talent borders on recklessness. But Samuel carries a secret burden—and a hidden gift. In a past life, he was a nobody, his existence marked by insignificance until a tragic accident claimed him. Now, reincarnated into the world's most elite motorsport, he carries the echoes of that mundane past, alongside a mysterious, singular advantage known only to him: the "Champion's System." His battle begins not at the front, but deep in the shadows of the grid. Samuel joins Raveish Racing, the F1 paddock's eleventh-place struggling backmarker. Led by an idealistic visionary Team Principal and propelled by the genius of a once-in-a-lifetime engineer, Raveish is a team built on dreams and desperate ambition, perpetually wrestling with the harsh realities of limited resources and fierce competition. Their RR27, a temperamental beast, demands everything and gives little in return, pushing Samuel's talent to its breaking point. Samuel's journey is a breathless dance between defiance and despair. His raw, unyielding will to prove himself crashes against the immovable wall of the car's limitations, creating a visceral ache of frustrated potential. He must confront not only the formidable might of rival teams, like the upstart Klaus Steiner in his slightly better-funded midfield machine, but also the turbulent chaos within himself – his volatile temper, his unshakeable belief in his own superiority, and the harrowing struggle to understand and control the enigmatic Champion's System that both empowers and torments him. "Rise to World Champion" is the gritty, inspiring saga of an underdog refusing to yield. It's a high-octane, character-driven drama that thrusts you into the visceral cockpit, exploring the relentless grind for greatness, the profound human element in a technological battlefield, and the dizzying price of ambition. Can Samuel Bradley, armed with a secret edge and fueled by an unquenchable fire, tame the bucking beast of the RR27, master his own inner demons, and ascend from the forgotten fringes to seize the ultimate prize: the Formula 1 World Championship?

Mister Money: Inheritance and Love

At Houston University's elite campus in Mayfair City, two worlds collide through the lives of Gerald Martinez and Danny Blackwood. Gerald, a scholarship student from the wrong side of town, navigates the marble halls in his thrift store clothes while his dark curls frame a face hardened by necessity. His worn sneakers echo differently against the polished floors than the Italian leather of his classmates. Danny Blackwood represents everything Gerald isn't—trust fund privilege wrapped in designer suits, a Patek Philippe gleaming on his wrist as he slides into his Lamborghini. The heir to a financial empire, Danny moves through university life with the casual arrogance of someone who's never known want. The catalyst for their collision is Xavier Chen, Gerald's former girlfriend who traded love for luxury when she realized Gerald's potential couldn't match her appetite for Hermès bags and Christian Louboutin heels. Now draped on Danny's arm, she's everything Gerald lost and everything Danny effortlessly possesses. Caught between them stands Naomi Ashworth, the conglomerate heiress whose friendship with Gerald puzzles their social circle. While Alice Montgomery, the school's untouchable beauty goddess, watches from her pedestal alongside Danny's inner circle—Yuri and class president Blondie—Gerald finds support in his dormitory under Rick's guidance and his loyal friend Clinton. As tensions escalate between the dormitories—Rick's working-class fortress and Ivar's white-haired kingdom of privilege—the university becomes a battleground where relationships fracture along lines of wealth, loyalty, and ambition. In Mayfair City's first-class restaurants and boutiques, every interaction carries the weight of class warfare disguised as college drama.

Forebearer's Sight: Strangers Among Us

A young British child, Frederick, who was adopted by Portuguese sailors finds himself struggling for survival on the shores of West Africa. He soon discovered that the lands he found himself in were troubled by the aura of ancient cosmic darkness, Okunkun, that instilled hate against the indigenes of Africa in other races as their punishment for banishing it from its reign on the world. The remnants of Okunkun’s minions, Egbe Okunkun, commence a plot to bring back their glory days by attacking the Olodumare Festival, an iconic festival celebrated between the Yorubas, Igbos and Hausa in honour of their historic victory against Okunkun. Yet to recover from the shock of the attack, a mystical war broke out between the deities of Olodumare and the ancient Benin Kingdom when their spy, Warewa, discovered a secret slave trade allegiance between the Benin Kingdom, and Prince Henry the Navigator, son of a Portuguese Monarch, with Egbe Okunkun at the heart of it. Frederick gets caught in an unimaginable battle between the deities of Olodumare who swore to protect their people from Okunkun’s hate, the Benin kingdom, and Egbe Okunkun. Buoyed by their duty to prevent hate from destroying their land, the deities of Olodumare made it their duty to ensure that people from the outside world had no access to their lands. When Frederick’s presence on their land became known to them at the end of the battle, they were torn between letting him live, being a child, and the fear that he would succumb to the hate of Okunkun and be a danger to them all. Frederick builds a bond with the son of a powerful deity, Ifaromi who was convinced of his innocence and will for good. All hell broke loose when the plot of Egbe Okunkun bore fruit and the very darkness they sought to protect themselves against threatened to rise once more with Frederick at the heart of it all.

Golden Age of Cultivation

A Call to the Golden Age of Cultivation To my dearest readers, fellow dreamers and seekers of the grandest tales – have you ever yearned for the sagas of old? The kind that didn't rush through 200 chapters, but stretched across **two, even three thousand, with every detail meticulously woven?** I speak of the **pioneering era of Xianxia and Wuxia, the true Grand Cultivation and Cosmic Xianxia narratives** that still echo in our hearts. We live in an age where new novels emerge at lightning speed, driven by quick updates and rapid-fire releases. But amidst this surge, let us not forget the legends penned by authors whose very names evoke reverence, even if their origins are lost to time. These pioneers left us with an invaluable lesson: **true depth and epic scale aren't about speed, but about profound immersion.** They showed us worlds of lower, middle, and upper realms; universes existing within a single body and countless others beyond it. They crafted **ancient immortals and terrifying, primordial chaos** – not the watered-down, cliché versions, but a dread-inducing, boundless void. They took us to **Golden Eras of maximum power, where every sect soared, every technique resonated with peak potential, and the adventure was truly infinite.** No tedious trudges through "mortal world, immortal world, spirit world, fairy world, zzz" – just pure, unadulterated cosmic might from the get-go. I may not be a seasoned god of this genre, but I am a fervent disciple. Inspired by these titans, these very deities of storytelling, I aim to emulate their magnificent vision. My upcoming chapters will embrace their concept of a **Golden Era, a peak-level world brimming with maximum power from the outset.** We'll delve into iconic tropes like **universes beyond the body, the tiered cosmos, and a chaos that truly inspires awe**, not just a basic understanding. Join me as I attempt to craft something truly exciting and immersive within this beloved genre. For it is only those pioneers, those gods, who inspire me to seek such grand narratives. Let us together rediscover the lost art of the truly epic! I clarify that I also like the current immortal cultivation stories. They are popular and easy to shape, especially if you want a story without plagiarism. I recommend focusing on the genre, taking inspiration and making your own ideas of what the MC is like and how they act in the face of monotony and boredom. Persevere. Withdraw or continue?
