This tender, introspective story explores themes of regret, empathy, and emotional growth, capturing the fragile moment when a boy first learns what it means to truly care for another person.

Three days. That’s how close I was to marrying Alistair, the man I’d loved for six years, the man whose life I’d literally saved with my own rare blood. I was just admiring the final pearl on my wedding dress, a gown I’d poured my soul into, when he called. The wedding? Off. He was marrying my stepsister, Ivy. Her dying wish, he said. Six months to live, maybe less. The kicker? He’d already taken my wedding dress from my studio for her. Just like that, six years, countless transfusions, our shared dreams – all tossed aside for the girl who’d made my life a living hell since childhood. He even offered me “compensation,” as if my future had a price tag. But if Alistair and Ivy thought I’d just crumble, they seriously underestimated me. They wanted my fiancé? Fine. But it would cost them. First, our multi-million-dollar fashion company, Evening Gala – built on my designs, my vision. He signed it over. Then, a cool million for the stolen dress. He paid. Another million for the wedding jewelry they dared to ask me to hand over for Ivy. Cha-ching. You’d think they’d learn. But no. Their next proposal was the most insulting yet: Alistair actually suggested that I should just wait. That after Ivy’s ‘inevitable’ passing in a few months, he and I could just pick up where we left off, have an even better wedding. Seriously? Enough was enough. If Ivy wanted to play bride with my life, she was going to get a taste of what happens when you push someone too far. Let's just say her hospital room celebration involved a lot more smoke, water, and screaming than she bargained for, all thanks to a little wedding gift from yours truly. Now they know I’m not the same Hazel they could walk all over. I’ve got my company, a pile of their cash, and a whole lot of scores to settle. They think this is over? This game of revenge is just getting started. And believe me, I play to win.

Tres días. Así de cerca estaba de casarme con Alistair, el hombre al que había amado durante seis años, el hombre cuya vida literalmente había salvado con mi propia sangre rara. Estaba admirando la última perla de mi vestido de novia, un vestido en el que había puesto toda mi alma, cuando él llamó. La boda? Cancelada. Se iba a casar con mi hermanastra, Ivy. Su último deseo, dijo él. Seis meses de vida, quizás menos. ¿Lo peor? Ya había tomado mi vestido de novia de mi estudio para ella. Así sin más, seis años, innumerables transfusiones, nuestros sueños compartidos – todo descartado por la chica que había hecho de mi vida un infierno desde la infancia. Incluso me ofreció una "compensación", como si mi futuro tuviera un precio. Pero si Alistair e Ivy pensaban que simplemente me derrumbaría, me subestimaron seriamente. ¿Querían a mi prometido? Bien. Pero les costaría. Primero, nuestra empresa de moda multimillonaria, Evening Gala – construida con mis diseños, mi visión. Él la cedió. Luego, un frío millón por el vestido robado. Lo pagó. Otro millón por las joyas de boda que se atrevieron a pedirme que entregara para Ivy. Cha-ching. Pensarías que aprenderían. Pero no. Su siguiente propuesta fue la más insultante: Alistair realmente sugirió que yo debería simplemente esperar. Que después del 'inevitable' fallecimiento de Ivy en unos meses, él y yo podríamos simplemente retomar donde lo dejamos, tener una boda aún mejor. ¿En serio? Ya era suficiente. Si Ivy quería jugar a ser novia con mi vida, iba a probar lo que sucede cuando empujas a alguien demasiado lejos. Digamos que su celebración en la habitación del hospital involucró mucho más humo, agua y gritos de lo que ella esperaba, todo gracias a un pequeño regalo de bodas de mi parte. Ahora saben que no soy la misma Hazel a la que podían pisotear. Tengo mi empresa, un montón de su dinero y muchas cuentas que saldar. ¿Piensan que esto ha terminado? Este juego de venganza apenas comienza. Y créanme, juego para ganar.

Kael Virelle was born to power and raised to become one of the High Circle’s elite mages. But when his Awakening Ceremony ends in humiliating failure, he’s branded “voidborn” and exiled to the Outlands. As if disgrace weren’t enough, Kael stumbles upon an even deeper betrayal: his childhood friend Arden and the girl he loved, Lyra, have already replaced him—in court, in reputation… and in bed. Left for dead in the wastelands, Kael uncovers a buried ruin and awakens a magic long thought extinct: Lifebinding, the power to twist life, death, and memory itself. It’s forbidden. Corrupting. Unstable. And it’s his. From nothing, Kael will carve his way back—through beasts, traitors, and tyrants. With blood-bound creatures at his side and vengeance burning in his soul, he’ll reclaim everything they stole. They broke him. They left him to rot. Now he'll rise as the one magic even the gods once feared.

With her daughter’s safety at stake and long-buried tensions bubbling up, Claire must make hard decisions that could reshape the island forever. A heartwarming yet quietly suspenseful tale of responsibility, redemption, and the bonds that hold a small community together.

One day I was eating ice cream but who knew it will be the last.....

In a world where power is measured in credits, contracts, and class-level hacks, death is just the start of something way more expensive. When 27-year-old Kade Elaris wakes up in a body that isn't his, in a world where life runs on a hyper-intelligent System and your social status is quite literally coded, he thinks it’s all just another twisted post-death hallucination. That is… until he sees his Starter Credit balance: 500,000 Credits. And the words "Glitchborn Trait Activated." In this dazzlingly cruel city of glass and gravity-defying wealth, everyone wants something. From digital ghosts in the undernet to AI-brokered assassins and guilds that trade in souls, survival isn’t earned by skill alone—it’s paid for in blood, brains, and billion-credit gambles. But Kade isn’t here just to survive. Armed with a sarcastic, sentient system that glitches at just the right (or wrong) time, a past life full of regrets, and an unshakable taste for danger, he’s ready to turn this world upside down. Whether it wants him to or not. Futuristic fantasy meets system-lit in a reincarnation saga full of high-stakes politics, unpredictable upgrades, dangerous romance, and a protagonist who buys first and asks questions later.

In this second volume, Malik now freed from the Sultan’s curse but transformed into a being of starlight and wind can no longer walk the mortal world as Layla does. But his love for her has not dimmed. Each night, when the stars burn bright over the desert, Malik sends his whispers down to her, calling her into a fantasy land that seems to exist only for them a hidden place where the sands glitter like glass, the moon is always full, and time stands still. Here, their love deepens in mystery and poetry. The fantasy land becomes a sanctuary but also a prison of longing. By day, Layla feels the ache of his absence. By night, they forget everything but each other in a world that feels more real than reality itself. As the story unfolds, they begin to realize that nature itself has its own plans. The final chapter resolves their story in a bittersweet, poetic way: nature’s decision, may or may not .... as you envisioned.

Claire has been given a second chance at life. After being betrayed and killed by her own best friend, she wakes up four years in the past—back in her teenage body, with all the memories of her painful future intact.

Some destinies resist change—and some consequences come no matter how hard you try to escape them. Can she really change her fate?

"Your world is about to change." A voice whispered to me. I turned around but everywhere was dark and I couldn't make anything or anyone out. "Who is there?" I called out into the darkness. "I'm a friend Arin, no need to be frightened." The soft voice called out to me. "What do you want with me?" I questioned, my senses on high alert as I could feel the person moving around me in circles. "I don't want anything from you. I'm here to help you." The woman revealed and my brows furrowed in confusion. "Help me?" I asked. Arin is an omega born into the Bloodfang Pack, a role she’s long accepted but never fully embraced. Growing up with her best friend Siena, who dreams of becoming Luna, Arin has always been overlooked and dismissed by those around her, especially the Alpha’s sons, the triplets Kael, Jaxon, and Rowan. However, on her 18th birthday, everything shifts when Arin learns that her mate bond has been forged with one of the triplets. The triplets, each with their own distinct personalities and goals, are drawn into a tangled web of competition, love, and duty. Arin’s bond shifts between them, causing tension and uncertainty within the Pack. But Arin’s journey takes an unexpected turn when she learns of her true heritage: she is the descendant of an ancient royal bloodline, and her powers are linked to the Moonwell, the Pack’s most sacred and powerful source of life. As the Moonwell begins to fade, Arin’s destiny is revealed. Only she can restore the Moonwell and save the Pack, but doing so means losing her mate bond forever. The battle for the Pack’s future escalates when a betrayal leads to a civil war, and one of the triplets sacrifices himself to protect Arin and restore balance. With the Pack’s survival hanging by a thread, Arin must face the harsh reality of her choices and what it means to lead.

When Ralph, the offspring of one of the greatest cultivators, fails to awaken an affinity during the Awakening Ceremony, he is banished from his clan by the sect elders and sent to the Outlands, a place where beasts wander and people hardly dare to go. He is given a family heirloom by his mother to hold dear, but little did he know this heirloom was the reason he would survive. Left to die in the Outlands, he awakens a system with an affinity no one knew was still in existence, centuries after the last awakener. Now bestowed with this power, he has one thing on his mind: he will evolve far greater than any of them thought he would and come back to take what was rightfully his from the start.

Isaiah Valkareth was born to be great. A direct descendant of the first Vitalis—those who healed a dying world and birthed elemental magic—he was meant to inherit power, purpose, and legacy. But at age eight, Isaiah failed his Affinity Test. And again at nine. And ten. And eleven. Now, nearly fourteen, battle-scarred and magic-less, he fights on the front lines where the realm throws its failures and expendables. Monsters pour from the Outlands. His battalion bleeds and burns. He survives, not by Aether, but by blade, instinct, and fury. When yet another summons arrives—his final test—Isaiah knows the truth: there is no miracle coming. No second chance. And when he fails again, they’ll discard him for good. And when he does, they don’t just strip him of honor. They banish him into the very Outlands he bled to fight against. Alone, betrayed, and hunted by the horrors he once stood against, Isaiah craves for revenge. And it was what he would deliver to the dominion that abandoned him. Something the realm cannot ignore.

Evangeline “Eva” Claire Lioré was once a brilliant, overworked woman from a cold, futuristic world. When exhaustion finally claimed her, she didn’t expect to wake up as a baby in the arms of luxury—a second chance in a modern world where time moved slower, kisses came warmer, and desire wore velvet gloves.

She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her — and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future — with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn’t choose. Wears clothes she didn’t buy. Answers to a name she didn’t earn. Every touch is a test. Every night is a transaction. And every whispered “I love you” is a warning. She hides pills beneath her tongue. She dreams of running. But there is no escape — only a cage made of wealth, obsession, and unbearable intimacy. Because he doesn’t just want her body. He wants her compliance. Her mind. Her loyalty. Her womb. And when the daughter discovers the truth — she doesn’t cry. She accuses. Now the doors are locked. The smiles are gone. And the only thing more terrifying than being watched… is being needed. This isn’t love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession. This is what happens when a girl becomes the answer to someone else's madness.

Cain got stuck in the land of demonkind! I sure hope he survives.

NOT YOUR REGULAR MAFIA STORY! A story of obsession, danger, and the kind of love that demands everything. If you’re looking for soft kisses and fairy-tale promises, this isn’t it. *** “This is not a game,” Lucas growled, stepping in, his presence dark and overwhelming. “Don’t ever do that again. You have no idea what you mean to me.” Claire’s inhaled sharply and she couldn’t believe the next words that came out of her own mouth. “Then show me,” she whispered in a short breath. In one swift movement, his hand gripped the back of her neck. “You have no idea what you’re asking for,” he murmured, staring into her soul, his breath warm against her skin. But Claire didn’t flinch. She slid her hand down, brushing against the hard outline of him through his jeans, maintaining intense eye contact. “I do.” *** Claire was just another struggling actress until a mafia boss handed her a ring and asked her to act as his wife. “Just one year, and you’ll never hear from me again,” he said. Yeah, right. Let’s see how that goes. He’s dangerous. Obsessive. Powerful. And he doesn’t like to share.

A story which started with love would never end the same way..... Endings are painful ..... But everything has to end at some point of time... Then will pain of losing a loved one will it ever end or would it lead to something tragic... Wait and see.......................

Claire Lian Yuxi grew up in France, raised by a Chinese couple who adopted her when she was just a baby. She never questioned where she came from not when her home was filled with love, and her world made sense. But everything changes when her adoptive father falls seriously ill. The only hope is a liver transplant and the best chance of a match lies with a blood relative from his side of the family. There’s just one problem: they’ve lost touch with everyone back in China. With little more than a name and a city, Claire is sent across the world to find someone who might not even exist. But the journey quickly spirals — her bag is stolen, she’s stranded in a place she doesn’t know, and help seems far away. Until she meets Li Zeyan. He’s quiet, serious, and almost too composed not the kind of guy who picks up strangers off the street. But something about Claire softens him, and he offers her a place to stay, just until she gets back on her feet. What neither of them knows is that their lives are already tangled in a way that goes deeper than either of them can see.

But she doesn’t know the truth: This isn’t just a game. She’s not just a player. And someone’s been watching her since the beginning.
