Fate Strings

“All these years I’ve been in a HOPE that… He’ll look at me with soft eyes He’ll smile at me He’ll care for me He’ll love me LIKE HER” Crystal Wayne was living and holding an illusion, an illusion of love that one day Lucas Wayne will reciprocate to her feelings. However, she never knew that the price she would pay for coming out from that illusion would be the lives of her family, friends and most importantly the sunshine of her life, Her daughter. God gave her another chance, a chance to fulfil the promise, do the compensations, return to those from whom she owe and take her revenge from those who betrayed her, who played with her. A life in which she was ready to dedicate herself for her loved ones and to unfold her life’s every mystery but what will happen when this time also not everything will go according to her? When, even with her best efforts she was unable to entangle herself from that man, what she would do?

A ruthless, modern-day crime lord reincarnates as a Viking, but soon discovers Earth is just one of multiple worlds... and that he's being hunted. Using his past-life's experience, his ability to manipulate lust, and the attention of certain powerful people to his advantage, he sets out to dominate worlds he once considered myth, seeking power, freedom, and a reunion with his beloved partner in crime. ********* Hey guys, welcome to my newest novel! No Yuri No NTR (but there will be some netori, meaning the MC does the stealing)

In the labyrinthine world of high finance, power, and hidden agendas, Jiang Ting, the enigmatic and ruthless president of Ying Group, shocks everyone by settling a staggering 30-million-dollar debt for a low-level trading analyst, Astra. What could drive a man of his stature to such an irrational act? The answer lies in Astra's carefully concealed secret — her ability to cast spells and foresee the future. Yet Astra is a woman of conviction, refusing to use her mystical talents to chase wealth. Unmoved by her defiance, Jiang Ting exerts his dominance, weaving a web of pressure, coercion, and calculated manipulation. But as sparks of defiance and dominance clash, an unexpected and forbidden emotion ignites between them, drawing them ever closer to a line neither thought they'd cross. Under the weight of Jiang Ting’s relentless demands and their volatile relationship, Astra finally breaks her vow and uses her spells to fuel Jiang Ting's ambitions, turning his already formidable empire into a financial juggernaut. But the universe does not grant power without cost. The karmic consequences of using magic for profit begin to darken their path, each success shadowed by an invisible debt they cannot repay. As they navigate a world of cutthroat real estate deals, volatile stock trades, and risky foreign exchange maneuvers, they are pursued not only by external rivals but also by the unseen forces that seek to reclaim balance. Amidst these dangers, Astra begins to unravel Jiang Ting’s true motivations — secrets that could shatter everything they have built and redefine the very nature of their bond. Together, they walk a tightrope over a chasm of power, destiny, and fate. The question remains: when the final reckoning comes, will their alliance be their salvation — or their ultimate destruction?

Was it all about love or the mate bond? My lover, Amon, had left me for a girl he claimed was his fated mate, and I was torn apart, feeling like there was no life without him. In just a month, I met Gerald, the Alpha of another pack, and he turned out to be my mate. But then, I was pregnant with Amon’s child. I had decided to keep my pregnancy a secret because of the rule of my pack, and Amon was never aware of it. Gerald marked me without a hint of it, but things turned crazy when Amon showed up in secret, claiming he loved me. I was conflicted, but there was more to Gerald that I didn't know. Everyone around me was hinting vague things about him that they weren't certain of. Well, whatever it was, I was going to accept it as part of my fate.

Synopsis: When a daring heiress, Sera, crash-lands in the forbidden vampire territory during a late-night paragliding adventure, her world collides with the enigmatic and aloof vampire prince, Aidan. Bound by ancient laws, Aidan must either erase her memory or claim her as his bride to protect their secret. As they navigate a world of bloodthirsty politics, forbidden love, and secrets that could shatter both their realms, Sera and Aidan must choose between duty and desire. But with hunters closing in and betrayal lurking in the shadows, will their love be enough to break centuries-old barriers—or will it doom them both. **** Excerpt: The cold wind whipped around Sera as she clung to the edge of the cliff, her heart pounding. Below her, the dark forest stretched out like a vast, uninviting abyss. She had thought it was just an adventure, a break from her perfect life, but now... now she was trapped in a world that didn't want her there. And standing before her was the very reason why. Aidan’s eyes, glowing faintly under the moonlight, bore into her soul. “You shouldn’t be here,” he said, his voice like velvet and danger. “Your presence here is a threat to everything.” Sera’s throat tightened. “I don’t belong to your world. But you... you belong to mine, don’t you?” His lips curled into a slight, bitter smile. “What if I told you that your life, your very essence, is the key to the end of all this? That you’re far more involved than you realize?” Sera didn’t know whether to run or stay. But deep down, she knew one thing—there was no turning back.

Fate. Fate is the anchor to a moment. It is the unavoidable destination at the crossroads of life and death. The living and dying. The blessed and cursed. The smiling and the crying. All subjects to the weight of fate. Each path leads to the same burden. Each cultivator fighting against this truth. But what happens on the pathless road. What happens if fate is not vital. Listen to the story of Huo Fenhua, the one who ignores fate. - - - Any semblances to real or fictional characters was either added with permission or purely coincidental. Physics?
