Almech Facade

Lyla Knight thought she knew her husband, the enigmatic and stoic Noah Anderson—CEO of a billion-dollar empire and the golden bachelor of City A. Their marriage was a quiet agreement, a union arranged by their families to ensure Lyla's safety and happiness. For two years, Noah was away expanding his business, and Lyla pursued her dream of becoming a singer, believing they were just two polite strangers bound by a contract. But appearances can be deceiving. Noah Anderson, the king of the business world, has always been a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Beneath his calm demeanor lies an obsession—a love so deep that he’s been silently protecting his innocent "little rabbit" from the shadows. When he finally returns, his carefully constructed facade begins to crack. “Sweetheart,” he murmurs one day, his voice a mix of pleading and determination, “I let them think I didn’t love you enough to show you off. But now, can we go public? Let me slap their faces with the truth.” Even the king of hell is willing to make puppy eyes to convince his wife to acknowledge him as her husband—a sight that leaves his assistant Cheng fleeing the office in shock. But Lyla’s world is truly shaken when she stumbles into Noah’s private library and finds a hidden treasure trove: old, secretly taken photos of herself from years before they were married. Her heart pounds as she backs away, only to collide with the man himself. His familiar scent surrounds her as his deep, velvety voice whispers near her ear, “It has always been you, sweetheart.” Caught between the shy, gentlemanly facade she believed in and the possessive, passionate man he truly is, Lyla must navigate the truth about her husband and their secret marriage.

Aurora Waters was overwhelmed with despair when she faced the truth about her family. She had been born into a family of villains. Even worse, her family had an unhealthy obsession with faking their identities. They took “Fake it till you make it” so seriously that it usually ended with them getting killed! Her oldest brother pretended to be a CEO just to mess with the female lead, but that backfired when the male lead showed up and threw him out. Her second brother? He was an obsessive lover who pretended to be a wealthy second-generation heir—until the real heir ended his life. Her third sister? She faked being an heiress to manipulate the second male lead but ended up being killed by him. Her fourth sister? She faked an illness to attract the third male lead’s attention, only to die from a real one. Her mother? She put on a facade of being a kind and loving mom but ultimately met her end at the hands of the male lead. Her father? He pretended to be a powerful tycoon but lost his job and was drowned by the second male lead. And Aurora? She planned to impersonate the daughter of the richest man alive, but if things went the way they always did in her family, she’d probably meet her end by accidentally falling down the stairs. However, there was one glimmer of hope in this nightmare: she had a 100% rebate system that rewarded her for spending money on her family! [Beep! You bought an eraser worth 1 dollar for your eldest brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] [Beep! You bought a candy worth 1 dollar for your second brother! 2 dollars have been credited to your bank account!] Aurora’s eyes sparkled as an idea took shape. She began spending on her family like crazy to rake in cash. She even wished her family were greedier so she could earn more!

You gave a bun worth 20 dollars to your childhood crush! 100 dollars has been credited to your bank account!] Aurora: …! That’s walking money!

What is a man, if not a vessel of hidden truths and whispered deceptions? Beneath the fragile facade lies a labyrinth of secrets—truths buried so deeply they intertwine with the lies we tell ourselves just to survive another day. The masks we wear may fool the world, but they cannot hide the fractures within. Even those we hold closest, the ones we entrust with our hearts, may be the very hands carving unseen wounds into our souls, feeding them to the monsters lurking in the shadows. Blood tells no lies, flowing only when life is claimed, but even its crimson clarity is no guide to the truth. How does one find what is real when their very existence is a fractured mirror, splintered into shards that reflect only distorted glimpses of an identity lost? Each shard offers the promise of clarity, yet together, they form nothing but ruin. To uncover the truth is to face the darkness, and to risk losing what little remains of the self. For in the end, can a man truly hold a reflection if he no longer knows who—or what—he truly is? This is the path Aramith must brave. But does he truly know what lies ahead? Do his companions know what they are yet to face? They may never know, but the world they love might just be a small fragment, a piece of a bigger plan.

In the heart of New York City, where towering skyscrapers reached for the heavens and the pulse of ambition beat ceaselessly, Sterling Enterprises stood as a monument to success. Its sleek glass facade mirrored the sun’s brilliance by day and the city’s vibrant lights by night. Inside its walls, the world of high-stakes business thrived, driven by the vision of its formidable CEO, Nathaniel Sterling. Nathaniel was a man forged by both triumph and turmoil. His rise to power had been marked by relentless drive, sharp intellect, and an unyielding will. He commanded respect with every decision and led Sterling Enterprises through waves of change with a steady hand. But the greater the success, the more dangerous the waters became. Amidst this world of high finance and power struggles, a new player had entered the arena—a bright and ambitious intern named Emma Clarke. Emma had come to Sterling Enterprises with dreams of making her mark, and her intelligence and resilience quickly set her apart from her peers. She navigated the competitive environment with a determination that caught Nathaniel’s attention. Their paths crossed under the most ordinary of circumstances: a chance meeting in the office elevator, a brief conversation over a coffee break. Yet, beneath the surface of these seemingly mundane interactions, a spark ignited—a connection neither fully understood but both felt deeply. As Emma’s role at Sterling Enterprises expanded, she found herself increasingly drawn into Nathaniel’s orbit. Her professional acumen and unflinching loyalty earned her a place in his inner circle, but it also exposed her to the dangers lurking in the shadows of the corporate world. Nathaniel, for his part, was both intrigued and unsettled by Emma. She was a breath of fresh air in the cutthroat world he inhabited, her presence a stark contrast to the scheming and duplicity that often surrounded him. Yet, as his feelings for her deepened, so did the stakes. The walls of his fortress were not impregnable, and enemies lurked in the corners, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Unbeknownst to them, the very connection that brought them closer would also set the stage for the greatest challenge of their lives. A storm was brewing on the horizon, one that would test their resolve and push their relationship to its limits. A rival’s ambition and a hidden agenda would soon collide with their growing love, casting a shadow over their future. As the city thrummed with energy and the ambitions of those who sought to control it, Nathaniel and Emma stood at the precipice of a tumultuous journey. The choices they made would determine not only their fates but also the future of Sterling Enterprises. In the whirlwind of corporate intrigue and personal upheaval, they would have to navigate a treacherous path. Their love story would be one of fiery passion and fierce loyalty, forged in the crucible of conflict and uncertainty. And as the first cracks of the storm began to show, neither Nathaniel nor Emma could foresee the full extent of the trials that awaited them. But one thing was certain: their lives would never be the same again.

But Wooheon, fully aware of Yueul’s lie, retracts the dismissal with a twist: he suggests they live together, determined to push Yueul into quitting on his own. As if that weren’t bad enough, Yueul soon discovers Wooheon’s unusual way of managing stress: sex. And the room assigned to Yueul?

What’s the point of being yours when you treat me like… like I’m nothing?” The book slammed shut with a deafening clap. She rose to her feet in one fluid motion, every step toward me deliberate, predatory. Her eyes met mine, cold and unrelenting. “No one touches you but me, Adonis. Good, bad, whatever label you want to slap on it—I don’t care.” My breath caught in my throat, but I forced myself to hold my ground. “That’s not love, Veronica.” She tilted her head, a cruel smile tugging at her lips. “Love?” She laughed, soft but sharp, the sound laced with mockery. “Don’t insult me.”

Yet, beneath Rudra’s frosty exterior, there are glimpses of vulnerability and a hidden attraction towards Anaya that he refuses to acknowledge. Anaya, on the other hand, is confused and intimidated by Rudra’s aloofness, yet she finds herself drawn to him in ways she cannot explain. Amidst the turmoil, Anaya must find her footing in a world of power plays and hidden agendas. Will Rudra ever open up to her, or will his dark past keep him locked in a world of solitude? And can Anaya break through the barriers that surround her husband’s heart, or will their marriage remain a hollow contract bound by duty and secrecy?

Set against the backdrop of high society and corporate intrigue, it explores the journey of two souls bound by circumstances, yet yearning for something more—a love that can heal old wounds and bring light to even the darkest of hearts.

In the depths of a primeval forest, where ancient trees twisted towards the sky like skeletal fingers, their gnarled branches tangled in a canopy of darkness. An impenetrable darkness, an unearthly silence reigned like a velvet cloak, gently suffocating all that breathed, trembled, or stirred within its grasp, like a psychopath predator. The air was heavy with the scent of damp earth and decaying leaves, and the only sound was the soft, mournful rustle of leaves, as a chorus of whispers, shrouding the landscape in an eternal, spine-tingling twilight. The darkness suddenly trembled, a slow, bone-chilling glow began to seep from the shadows, casting an ethereal luminescence across the forest floor. The soft, pulsing light grew in intensity, illuminating the source of the glow; a girl with a kind of beauty that transcended the natural, whose presence seemed to command the very air around her. Her eyes, akin to a pair of golden flames, burned with an inner fire, and her hair shimmered with an otherworldly radiance, each flowing strand crackling with raw energy, as if the moon itself had descended to earth. Yet, despite her captivating beauty, an aura of terrifying power emanated from her being, making the trees seem to shudder and the shadows recoil in fear. ....
