They Call Me

A Love To Call My Own

Alicia once believed in the promises of love—until she found herself suffocating in a marriage with Edward who returned with his mistress after winning the war, a man who once held her heart but now barely notices her existence. What was once warmth has turned to silence, and the dreams she once shared with him are nothing more than faded memories. Just as Alicia begins to accept that love will never be hers, Lucien suddenly appears in her life. A gentle, charming florist who seems to make her laugh at every moment. A man who always saw her, understood her, and treated her like she was worth more than the shadows she’s been cast into. His presence is a sun to the darkness of Edward’s indifference has left behind, and Alicia begins to wonder: Could love still be possible for her? Caught between a husband who has grown distant and a man who makes her feel alive again, Alicia faces a choice that could tear her apart. Can she stay in the wreckage of her broken marriage, or will she dare to seize the love she’s always longed for? --- “I don’t know who I am anymore,” Alicia whispered, her voice trembling, the weight of her own sorrow. Edward’s eyes were vacant, his words cold and detached, “You’ve always known, Alicia. You’ve always known where you belong.” But as Lucien’s hand gently cradled hers, Alicia felt something stir within her—a flicker of hope, of warmth, of a love she thought was lost forever. In that moment, she realized for the first time in years: Maybe, just maybe, she could have a love to call her own.

Top Assassins Call Me The Lady Boss

Ahmet's laughter was like a slap in the face. "You think you're in a position to negotiate with me?" he sneered. "I don't think so, Asli. You'll do what I say, or suffer the consequences. Do you want more time to outsmart me? No.” She could play his game. She certainly could do that before she finally killed him. A mischievous grin formed on her lips. "What would you gain from sleeping with me?" she asked, trying to keep her tone neutral. "You're not exactly known for your romantic conquests. And we're rivals, not to mention the fact that our families would kill us if they found out." She paused, her eyes narrowing. "So, what's the real motive here? What could you possibly gain from this?" There was a pause on the other end of the line, and for a moment, Asli wondered if she had caught him off guard. But then, Ahmet's smooth voice came back, dripping with confidence. "I’m glad to know you are well-informed about my romantic conquests. Let's just say, Asli, that I have my reasons. And as for what I'd gain… well, that's for me to know and you to find out." His tone sent a shiver down her spine, and she knew she had to tread carefully. She wasn’t going to win this against him. “Show me what proof you have and I will give in to your demands.” With that, she hung up the call, feeling a small sense of satisfaction at being the one to end the conversation this time. She was the only woman in the male-dominated Mafia world. Did he think he could subdue her so easily?

His Fading Call

He looked high as he stared at me like I was some type of drug that had him spaced out. I sat up, feeling a rush of pain hit my stomach when I did so. I looked up at him, those crisp green eyes that burned acid through my skin, and waited for Satan himself to that out his grueling taunt. "Come clean it bitch." *** Anna has always known her place at the prestigious Aldridge Academy—a scholarship student trying to keep her head down while enduring the constant torment of Marcus Crawford, the wealthy bully who's made her life a miserable hell since freshman year. For three years, she's endured it all for the sake of her hardworking mother and her best friend, finding solace in her academic achievements at the elite New England boarding school. But senior year brings two unexpected complications. First, Atlas Bonjovi, her old love returns to campus, stirring up memories and feelings she'd rather keep buried. Then, pushed to her breaking point by Marcus's relentless cruelty, Anna makes a risky decision to seek help from Damon Saint-Hayes—Marcus's step-brother, the "Hades of Aldridge" for his dangerous influence over the school's social hierarchy. In a moment of desperation, Anna strikes a devil's bargain with Damon: his help in destroying Marcus Crawford's fucked up reputation. But as Anna descends into a web of revenge and manipulation, she questions if bringing her tormentor to his knees is worth the price Damon names, which may bring her to her knees instead.

Don’t Call Me Director

Don Victor, the notorious Underworld Boss, known by his alias SKULL, is a figure whose true name and face remain a mystery to all except his inner circle. To the world, SKULL is a terrifying legend whose very name sends chills down spines. No one dares to challenge him, as he has ruthlessly eliminated anyone who tried, leaving only whispers of his terror behind. Those who managed to survive did so by fading into the shadows, too afraid to even think of revenge. The fear he instills is unmatched, and his power over the underworld is absolute. Yet, behind the ruthless exterior, Don Victor has one weakness: his obsession with movies, particularly the works of his favorite director, Tames Kamron.

I'm Just a Nobody, Why Are You Calling Me a God?!

(Don't pay too much attention to the introduction. This is not an anti-intellectual or routine article. I will try my best to update at least one article every day, and usually maintain two updates a day.) A meteor streaked across the night sky from the depths of space, hurtling toward Earth. No explosion. No destruction. The next day, humanity awakened to supernatural abilities! Some could control fire, some could command storms, and some even woke up to find they could fly… Of course, some also awakened to more "unique" powers—like flipping tables with a single slap (yes, that’s you, Fatty). "Hmm… So your ability is… being as hard as iron?" "Yeah, I can’t die, but I also can’t hit back!" "Congratulations, you’ve successfully awakened into a living jade statue!" — Good news: I have an insanely powerful defense. Blades can’t cut me, bullets can’t pierce me, even lightning strikes do nothing—basically, I’m a walking shield. — Bad news: My attack power is literally zero. I’m basically an indestructible punching bag. And my best friend, Lin Yi? His ability is even more ridiculous. "Wait, you’re telling me you can travel briefly into the future?" "Yes! I just went forty years ahead… and the entire world was destroyed!" "…What?" "Oh, and by the way, you became the world’s strongest superhuman… AND YOU GOT NUKED TO DEATH!!!" "WHAT?!" From that moment on, my life completely spiraled out of control— I just wanted to be a normal guy, but… "Great God! Please guide us to the future!" "Hold up! I’m just a ridiculously hard-to-kill nobody!" "Western Corporate Federation: This man must be captured! He is the ultimate war weapon!" "Wait, you guys got the wrong person!!!" "Extraterrestrial Civilization: This being might be a divine entity! We must welcome him!" "A GOD?! No, no, no! Just let me go home!!!" I just wanted to live a quiet life… WHY IS EVERYONE KNEELING AND CALLING ME A GOD?!!!

You called

Under his gaze, with a slow and deliberate motion, the brunette beside him grips the railing and carefully leans back. Aiden's first instinct was to step closer, but the girl's raspy voice stopped him. "You'd be surprised how often I do this, sir." Sensing she had startled him, and perhaps even disturbed him, she added the explanation she knew he needed: "Surely you've had moments in your life when you wished everything would just end," she said, closing her eyes and leaning back a little further. "When I do this, I realize that I don't want to die." The man rested his elbows on the railing and let out a long sigh. She was the first woman in his life he couldn't understand or see through. A unique and complex character, but damn beautiful. "Remind me once again, for the fourth time now, how you passed the psychological evaluation, Miss Joy?" The profound silence between them had become uncomfortable. Aiden felt he should rephrase the question, soften it somehow. For the first time since he'd met her, he felt he'd crossed a line. "Mr. Black," she finally said with a sigh, "when I do this, I realize that I want to live and be happy." Aiden turned his head slightly toward her. Something in his gaze had changed, and Tatum noticed. That's why she casually added: "As for the psychological exams," she chuckled, letting go of the railing, "be assured that I don't have that much cash lying around just to pass them all, only to protect your ass." The man's chuckle put her at ease. She didn't need anyone's pity.
