I Found Myself Dreaming

On their wedding day, she was waiting for him, but he didn't show up.

However, she didn't change her mind, believing that she was the only one destined to be his wife. She had thought that she could move him, but he remained so ruthless. She could accept his fickleness, his hatred, and his revenge against her, but she couldn't bear him hurting their child. Therefore, she decided to abandon him completely...

They say Love is blind, but no one is ever truly blind in love. We see everything; we just choose to ignore them because we're scared to move on or start afresh. Twenty-eight years old, Emma Winters has her dreams clearly defined. To have a loving family, a beautiful home, and a stable, fulfilling life. Not only do those dreams come crumbling down when her husband hands her divorce papers just when she tells him she's pregnant, but her pride and dignity are questioned when Jake announces that Emma was unfaithful to him. Emma loses hope in everything she believes in. However, hope comes to her when the enigmatic billionaire Alexander Sterling offers her a way out: A contract marriage to him. Will Emma accept this way out of her predicament even when this savior is none other than her ex-husband's uncle? What happens when she accepts the contract and is only chased back by her ex? Will she return to her once lover, or will she accept her growing feelings for her contract husband? Find out as we unravel Emma's story together! *****Excerpt******** “Why would you help when I was put in this mess by my own husband?” Emma cut in, now crying. “Because your husband is my nephew, and not only do I want to salvage the situation my nephew put you in, I want to escape his plot,” Alex said, and Emma’s heart stopped for a moment, a cold chill running down her spine as she replayed the words in her head. Nephew? His nephew? Jake was this man's... Alex's nephew? She mused, and then the realization of what that meant dawned on her like a crashing wave, knocking the breath from her lungs. Her eyes widened as she stared at him, the shock evident on her face. “Your nephew? You’re Alex Sterling, Jake's uncle?” she asked, unable to believe it herself. Alex nodded, his expression unchanged. “Yes. I'm his uncle,” Alex confirmed, and Emma shook her head.

In a world overrun by dungeons and monsters, humanity's last defense lies in the hands of Awakeners, individuals gifted with extraordinary abilities. But not all abilities are created equal. Axel awakened Contract Bind, a unique E-rank ability so useless it seemed like a cruel joke. Unlike others who could form pacts with monsters and beasts, his ability could only bind a willing human. The catch? No one in their right mind would willingly surrender their freedom for a meager stat boost, especially to an E rank awakened like Axel. For years, Axel begged, bribed, and pleaded for someone, anyone, to accept his contract. But in a world driven by power and pride, no one was willing to kneel to an ability deemed useless. Even his girlfriend, the last shred of support in his life, abandoned him for a stronger Awakener. Broken, desperate, and with nothing left to lose, Axel made a choice that defied the system itself. "If no one else will, I'll do it myself.” Axel attempted the unthinkable: to contract himself. He knew it was impossible. The system’s rules forbade it. [Warning: Cannot contract self. Target must be a separate entity.] Unrelenting, he pressed on, defying the very foundations of the Awakener System. Then, something extraordinary happened. [Condition Met: Willing Subject Detected. Contracting Self...] [Contract Successful.] [An Anomaly Has Occurred. System Integrity at Risk. Reevaluating…] Pain unlike anything Axel had ever experienced tore through his body. The world blurred. And then, a cascade of notifications appeared, jagged and alien, unlike the polished menus of the Awakener System. [You have become your own summon.] [Status Changed: Human → Monster.] [Ability Rank Reevaluation in Progress...] [Unable to Determine Rank. Assigning Maximum Possible Rank…] [Ability: Contract Bind (SSS+)] Now, with the identity of both a human and a monster, with a power that transcends the known limits, Axel must navigate a world that fears and hunts what he has become. He must rise from the ashes of despair to challenge the very system that sought to suppress him.

Overcoming the trauma of that early loss and the absence of closure, Amelia grew up with an unwavering resolve to fight against crime and injustice. Driven by the need to protect others from the suffering she endured, she became a dedicated police officer, determined to bring criminals to justice and find answers about her mother’s killer. Kelvin Martin, on the other hand, is a notorious criminal whose violent acts have terrorized the city for years. Known for his cunning and ruthless nature, he has carefully evaded the law, operating in the shadows with a notorious reputation. Despite his hardened exterior, Kelvin is a man haunted by his past—driven by guilt and a series of poor choices that have left him entrenched in a life of crime. Amelia is assigned to track down Kelvin, a high-profile case that could define her career. As she investigates, she unknowingly begins to develop complex feelings for him. Their encounters are charged with a strange chemistry, and Amelia is drawn to the enigmatic nature of the criminal she is pursuing. She begins to see sides of him that complicate her view of him as simply a dangerous fugitive. However, the truth soon shatters her world—Amelia discovers that Kelvin is not just the criminal she’s been chasing, but the very person who killed her mother all those years ago. The revelation strikes Amelia to her core, forcing her to confront the painful reality that the man she has unknowingly become emotionally involved with is the one responsible for the greatest tragedy of her life. Now torn between her professional duty and her growing feelings for Kelvin, Amelia faces an impossible dilemma. Does she bring him to justice, as she has sworn to do as a police officer, or does she seek revenge for the loss of her mother? For Kelvin, the discovery of Amelia’s connection to his past leaves him vulnerable in ways he never anticipated, as he grapples with the guilt of his actions and the possibility of redemption. Amelia’s journey is one of confronting her deepest pain while navigating the complexities of her feelings for the man she must ultimately arrest. For Kelvin, the story is about facing the consequences of a past he thought he could outrun, and perhaps

"If I am an Immortal then, why can't I go back time?" "Oh, child." The ethereal voice replied. "There is no such thing as going back time. The world only revolves forward. Time itself is only a concept; to put description to the events, to the happenings, to the certainties.." "..even I, the Heaven itself, do not have this kind of omnipotent power. As after all, it does not exist." The Immortal let out a mouthful of air full of indignant feeling as he opened his eyes that looked like the sun and moon.

"You are not alone, child. You have me to accompany you for the rest of the infinity." Hearing the ethereal voice response, the Immortal only let out a sigh as he mentioned, "Maybe I'm just tired of living, Heaven." "I will bid good night for now." The Immortal's eyes closed once more as he quietly fell back to sleep. "Sweet dreams, Immortal." Seeing this, the Heaven did not stop the Immortal from going back to sleep as its final voice faded.
