Birthday Kisses Monica Murphy

She was meant to be powerless. Instead, she became unstoppable. Lysandra was nothing more than a servant, a forgotten girl in the household of a powerful politician. When his cruelty turned to violence, she cried out for salvation, and something answered. The goddess Velmira gifted her a power both intoxicating and dangerous: any man who shared intimacy with her would fall under her influence, some bound by devotion, others driven to madness. With each step, Lysandra wielded her gift to escape servitude, rising through the ranks of power, manipulating the most ruthless men in the kingdom. But not all are susceptible to her touch. A rare few remain immune, and one of them, Ravenna, the wife of her first victim, has sworn to destroy her. As Lysandra weaves through a web of politics, seduction, and betrayal, she finds herself facing an impossible choice: Does she embrace the power that has lifted her from nothing? Or risk everything for a love that asks for nothing in return? YOU WILL LOVE THIS!

Xi Nan had loved Cheng Yi for ten years. After graduating from college, she confessed her feelings but faced rejection. Eventually, one went abroad and the other ventured into the entertainment industry. Five years later, Xi Nan became a highly sought-after celebrity in the entertainment circle, and Cheng Yi rose to be the youngest head of the Cheng family, known as a business genius by the media. An arranged marriage contract reconnected them once again. Rumors had always spoken of Cheng Yi, the CEO of Yi Feng Group, as decisive and aloof, a unique figure with almost no romantic scandals, yet he attracted countless admirers. However, the latest news drove all the high-society ladies in Jing City mad. Reports claimed that Cheng Yi was secretly married and had even commissioned a famous international jewelry designer for a priceless engagement ring. One day, as Xi Nan was watching television at home, Cheng Yi called her, asking her to retrieve a document from his study. Finding the document on the desk was easy for Xi Nan. But at the same moment, she discovered Cheng Yi’s secret—a small black box inside a cabinet. It contained a diamond ring, easily seven to eight carats, fittingly described as a 'pigeon's egg'. Xi Nan tried the ring on, and it fit perfectly. In that instant, something deep within seemed to blossom, her eyes swirling with a layer of subtle surprise and bewilderment.

She had always assumed that her newlywed husband, with his staggering wealth, lacked the ability to procreate, so she was completely unguarded around him, failing to notice that someone's gaze was off... “I like women, our genders aren't compatible, let's get a divorce...” Su Xingyue came up with all sorts of reasons to divorce him, but Nan Yuling decisively, accurately, and ruthlessly cut off all her potential suitors, ensuring that she could only be spoiled by him alone! Besides that, he tirelessly proved it to her in person... Therefore, one day, Mrs. Nan, unable to bear the hardship, ran away from home once again... [He made pampering her a cage, imprisoning his love for her for a lifetime...]

Kiss of the vampire The Girl with a sharpe sword Kiss of the Vampire In a world where darkness threatens to consume humanity, one man stands as the last beacon of hope.But what happens when that beacon discovers his own light burns with an ancient, inhuman flame? > *"Sometimes the monsters we fight are not the ones we should fear the most."* Deyviel's story begins like many others - a noble hero/hunter fighting against the rising tide of vampires and monsters that plague our world. Yet beneath his human exterior lies a truth so profound it threatens to shatter everything he believes in. He is no mere mortal, but a half-dragon, destined to be humanity's true protector. But destiny, as they say, has a cruel sense of humor. As betrayal cuts deeper than any blade and loved ones fall like autumn leaves, our hero finds himself walking a precarious line between savior and destroyer. Framed by those he swore to protect, abandoned by those he trusted, Deyviel faces his greatest battle not against the vampires, but against the darkness growing within his own heart. **When even love turns to betrayal**, and the pure-hearted defender begins to question whether humanity deserves salvation at all, one question remains: Can the light of friendship pull him back from the brink of vengeful destruction, or will the very people he once protected be forced to stop the monster he may become? Genre: amalgamation

One moment, life was normal. The next, the world collapsed. Creatures from another dimension poured into Earth, turning everything into a war zone. The monsters? They killed without mercy. Us humans? We were left scrambling for survival. But me? I’m Ethan Cross, just your average high school student—until I got a system. Yeah, you heard that right. Not some generic power-up or badass transformation. No, my system’s all about bonding with monster girls. And no, this isn’t some fanservice fantasy. The "SSS Rank Wife System" gave me a job—marry these creatures, get them to like me, and in return, I gain their abilities. And trust me, their abilities are exactly what I need to survive. But, here’s the catch: it’s not enough to just say "I do." My system tracks how much the girls like me. The more they love me, the stronger I get. So, yeah, the quests? They’re… a little intimate. You could say I’m doing my part to save the world, one kiss at a time. But with the world in chaos and monsters tearing it apart, there’s more to worry about than just finding true love. Other system users are out there, some wanting to help, others wanting to kill. Plus, every girl I marry has her own baggage—some are hesitant, some are hostile. I’ve got a lot of work ahead of me. Oh, and did I mention? I’m the only one who can understand the monsters’ language. It’s like having a personal translator, but way more dangerous. I’ll need to navigate through betrayals, rivalries, and jealous gods if I want to figure out why this dimensional collapse happened in the first place—and why I was chosen for this insane quest. But hey, if saving the world means marrying a bunch of monster girls and keeping my love meter high… guess I’ll just have to rise to the challenge. Just don’t expect me to take it too seriously—unless I have to. Support this Shameless Author with Power Stones Gifts and Golden Tickets

A story filled with romance, mystery, and the bittersweet nostalgia of first love, Finding the Girl Who Kissed Me is a tale about the moments that shape us and the people who leave an unforgettable mark on our hearts.

Luna é uma doce jovem marcada pela dor. Amparada por um parente após a morte de seus pais, quando tudo dá errado a jovem tem sua liberdade roubada e se vê encurralada em um caminho sem volta. Quando Michael Preston, sexto Duque de Blanchard, retorna à cidade após longos anos, não imaginava que poderia se apaixonar instantaneamente pela jovem mais intrigante da região. A proximidade entre os dois desperta em ambos um sentimento arrebatador capaz de enfrentar qualquer obstáculo. Mas Luna guarda um segredo, algo doloroso que pode colocar em risco não apenas o amor de Michael, como também a sua própria felicidade. – Você fala sobre amor, mas não faz ideia de que duas pessoas podem unir-se por simples e puro desejo. Para muitas pessoas, é o suficiente, afinal nem todos encontram o amor. Não na sociedade em que vivemos. – Não acredito – ela afirmou, tentando afastar-se daquele homem. – Gostaria de saber, senhorita, como o desejo pode influenciar o julgamento de uma pessoa? Ela rezava para que ele não percebesse o quanto estava desestruturada. Ele penetrara sua barreira através de palavras e ela nem percebera. Não teve chances. – O senhor está sendo inconveniente. – Luna apertou os lábios. Não sabia como reagir àquela situação. Mais um pouco e estaria perdida, precisava sair logo daquele jogo de palavras o qual ela não sabia jogar. – Talvez devêssemos voltar para o baile, vossa graça – continuou, então ofereceu a mão a ele para que voltassem, mas sua fuga foi totalmente frustrada quando, ao aceitar sua mão, Michael acabara trazendo-a bruscamente para ele. – Sinto muito – ele respondeu. – Mas eu odeio bailes. – E, dizendo isso, Michael levou a mão à nuca dela, selando seus lábios com um beijo inesperado.

You don’t realize how much trust you place in technology until it fails you or until someone exploits it. I learned this the hard way when my crypto wallet, containing over $87,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum, was drained in an instant. A clever scam disguised as an official update cost me everything I had worked so hard to save. At first, I believed what everyone said: “Once it’s gone, it’s gone.” The blockchain doesn’t forgive mistakes, and recovery felt like a fantasy. But desperation pushed me to keep looking, and that’s when I found DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES. From the start, they were different: no false promises, no hype, just a practical and transparent approach. They explained how stolen funds could be traced, even through the complexity of blockchain transactions. What followed was nothing short of incredible. Their team worked tirelessly, tracking the stolen assets step by step, wallet by wallet. They coordinated with exchanges, flagged suspicious accounts, and kept me updated at every turn. It felt like they were as invested in getting back my funds as I was. Weeks later, I got the email I thought I’d never see: “We’ve recovered your funds.” Seeing my wallet balance restored felt like a second chance at everything I thought I’d lost. It wasn’t just about the money it was about reclaiming my future and finding hope again. DIGITAL RESOLUTION SERVICES didn’t just recover my cryptocurrency; they gave me the ability to move forward without the weight of that loss holding me back. If you’ve lost crypto and feel like there’s no hope, don’t give up. There are people who know how to fight for you. I’m living proof that even in the world of crypto, recovery is possible with the right team.

Mula sa masakit na karanasan sa unang pag-ibig, tatlong taon ang lumipas nang mapagpasyahan ni Celestine na ituon na lang ang sarili sa kompanyang naman mula sa nagretiradong ama. Sa mga papeles at tanging sa trabaho na lamang niya ibinuhos ang buong atensyon upang makalimutan ang masalimuot na karanasan mula sa dating nobyo na nangloko at ginamit lang siya para sa pera niya. Hindi naging madali para sa kaniya ang lahat ngunit minabuti niyang huwag nang pagtuunan pa ng pansin ang paghanap ng lalaki na para sa kaniya o kung meron ba talaga. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang makilala niya ang isang lalaki na bigla na lamang sumulpot sa kaniyang buhay. Hindi niya inaasahan na makakatagpo ng isang gwapo at matipunong nilalang na kahit ang ipis ay maaring mahumaling rito. Sa bawat araw na magkasama sila sa isla ay hindi mapigilang mas nahulog pa ang kaniyang loob sa lalaki. Paano na niya mapipigilan ang malalim na nararamdaman gayung alam naman niyang hindi rin magtatagal ay maghihiwalay rin sila ng landas dahil aalis rin siya sa lugar na iyon matapos magbakasyon? Kakayanin niya kayang mawalay sa piling nito o hahayaan na lamang ang kung anuman ang nararamdaman para sa binata?
