Sumbu Magnet

KEY TO HAPPINESS:(My mute devil)

After the death of her grandmother, a mute artist returns home only to discover she’s been sold out by her uncle and aunt. With her world crumbling, she struggles to rebuild her life, tangled in the web of her enigmatic buyer. She convinces herself that, despite his behavior suggesting otherwise, he is better than her family. But everything changes when she uncovers his true nature and demands her freedom—only to be met with an unexpected ultimatum. --- "You must be wondering why I brought you under my roof and paid so much for you, knowing how much I despise wasting resources, right?” These are the same questions I’ve been asking myself, but why is he suddenly posing them to me now? Am I about to be set free? Or am I about to face a new prison, one with stricter walls? Come on, Carmela. You're a writer—don’t let your imagination run wild. In books, the female lead is usually hit with endless rules and restrictions when faced with these kinds of questions. Is that my fate, too? "First and foremost," he began, his voice smooth but laced with an edge, "I’ll admit I brought you here for selfish reasons. But I don’t want my motives to be an obstacle in your life." He stepped closer, his gray eyes locking onto mine like magnets pulling me into a dark abyss. "I’ll give you one hour. Run as far as you can, and I won’t chase after you." His words froze me in place, but my body betrayed me, refusing to step back as he approached. His hand slid around my waist, lifting my face to meet his smoldering gaze. "Stay," he murmured, his voice a melody that sent shivers through me, "and you will be mine. Forever. I don’t let go of what’s mine." As suddenly as he drew me in, he released me, leaving the room without a second glance. Yet the rush of emotions he stirred refused to settle. --- "I no longer wish to be your slave," I declared, my voice firm. "I’ll repay every cent my adoptive family owes you." Nix tilted his head, a smirk tugging at his lips. "You sure?" "Six months," I replied. "With interest. If I fail, I’d rather jump off a cliff than live as your property." His laughter, deep and intoxicating, echoed around us. "No, beloved," he purred, his tone both dangerous and alluring. "I won’t let you die so easily." He set a small box before me, his eyes dark and unreadable. "Accept my proposal. Be my wife for one year, and I’ll erase the debt. I’ll even give you a billion to rebuild your life." His offer hung in the air, heavy with promise and peril. Before I could respond, he vanished into the crowd, leaving me alone with the weight of his words. --- "Ahem... that man you were with—what’s your relationship with him?"* Damian’s voice broke the silence. I met his gaze, raising a brow. "Why do you care?" "Don’t get me wrong," he replied, his tone stern. "But he’s dangerous. You shouldn’t be involved with him."* "Really?" I leaned back, crossing one leg over the other, feigning indifference. "Yes, Carmela. Cut off all ties with him," Damian warned, his voice cold and unyielding. But will she walk away... sign the contract... or take the ultimate plunge? **Coming Soon.**

The Duke And His Desire

*****Excerpt***** “Don’t,” she whispered, her words shaky and desperate. “Please, Raph, don’t.” “Don’t what?” he murmured, his lips brushing her collarbone now. “This isn’t right. We shouldn’t…” “But we have,” he countered, his voice unwavering. Her knees threatened to give way, her strength faltering against the onslaught of sensation. She felt his hands on her shoulders, firm but not unkind, as he turned her to face him. Her heart hammered wildly as he lifted her with ease, placing her on the edge of his desk. He parted her legs with his hands and stepped between them, his large hands bracketing her waist. Their faces were inches apart, his breath warm against her lips. Her senses were drowning in him, in the heat of his body and the sheer magnetism of his gaze. “Tell me to stop,” he said, his voice barely above a whisper. “And I will. I’ll let you go and never ask this of you again. But it’s your choice, Natalie. Only yours.” Her mind screamed at her to end it, to take the out he offered. But her body betrayed her, leaning into him, craving his touch. He held her steady, his patience unnerving, as though he knew she would falter. “I’m waiting, Nat,” he urged, his voice softening, though his grip on her remained firm. “Raphael…” Her voice was a breathless plea, her will crumbling. “Yes, sweetheart?” Her hands found their way to his shoulders, clutching at the fabric of his shirt. She couldn’t stop the words that slipped from her lips, nor could she deny the truth in them. “Make love to me.” A dark smile curved his lips as he claimed her mouth in a kiss that stole her breath. “Good choice,” he whispered against her skin. “Because I wasn’t planning on letting you go.” *****Synopsis***** Raphael Emberlin, the Duke of Barrington, and his maid, Natalie Scott, are kidnapped while on a journey.

Although she excels academically, her heart remains closed off, haunted by the feeling of never being truly loved or understood. Her family’s sacrifices, the pressure of survival, and the constant battle with self-doubt have made her question if she will ever find someone who truly sees her. Ash is the charismatic, but emotionally scarred lead singer of the popular band ANTARES, and the CEO of Astral Institute.

Both are haunted by their pasts—Ash by a tumultuous childhood and the remnants of a broken heart, and Seraphina by the sacrifices she’s made and the question of whether she is enough to be loved. As they navigate their growing feelings for each other, they must confront their inner demons, their fears of vulnerability, and the possibility that love might be the key to healing the wounds they’ve carried for so long. In a world that often feels too big for both of them, can Seraphina and Ash find solace in each other’s arms? Or will their pasts keep them from ever truly finding the love they both desperately need?

A One-Night Stand with consequences

I never imagined I'd fall in love at first sight with a stranger I'd met in a bar, but I was immediately seduced by Julian's green eyes, his magnetic aura and the burning gaze he cast over me. After a crazy night of passion with him, I was already imagining myself living a beautiful love story. The cold look he gave me when I woke up was like taking a cold shower in winter... So that's all it was for him, a one-night stand? I was naive to think that a billionaire CEO would be interested in an ordinary girl like me. Is being pretty enough to retain this golden boy such as Christopher Kole? I don't think so, my goodgirl style must have put him off. I could have recovered easily from this affair but, unfortunately, it left consequences. Dialogues: • "You know I want you, it’s not a secret and I know you want me too " he said his voice filled with a confidence that frightened and exhilarated her at the same time… • "The attraction between us is as strong as it was on the first day. You try to hide it, but I can see it. I see it in the way your eyes blink at me, in the way your breath stops when I get too close.” • "Yes, I want you," she admitted, her voice firm despite the trembling. "But desire is not a sufficient reason to marry you, Julian. What about love?” • “I'm going to marry you but under certain conditions” she says. • "Reeva, you can't take away this attraction between us. I will make you mine and you will love him like the first time we made love". • "Yes, love, I am here to satisfy you”, he said. • "Please," she begged again, her voice barely whispered. "I can't... I can't take it anymore…Come inside me now.” • "There is enough money in this envelope for you to take a taxi home. Last night was fabulous, but not so fabulous that I want to see you again. I'm used to women pretending to be in love with me after a torrid night just because they're hoping to trap me. You're the one who should get the Oscar for Best Actress. • Don't try to come back in a few weeks and tell me you're pregnant, it won't work. I took precautions yesterday.
