Irene Scarlet

She gave up her dream of shining on the ballerina stage —for him. She sacrificed her self-respect —for him. She forgot her true identity —for him. But even after all that, she couldn’t compare to the woman who held Ryan’s heart. Arwen Quinn, heiress of prestigious Quinn family, realized too late that no matter what she did, she would never win Ryan’s love. The future that awaited her was a life trapped in endless misery of a loveless marriage. So, decisively, she ends their relationship and walks away. What she didn’t expect was that in breaking free from Ryan, she had opened the door for Aiden to enter her life — a chance that he had been waiting for. Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

In the shadows of a decaying castle, a mysterious cat with an unsettling grin and ancient, mismatched eyes reigns supreme. It is not a demon, nor a god, but something far more primordial—an embodiment of Consumption itself. With its two loyal servants, Nyriphim, a half-succubus noblewoman, and Celest, a bloodthirsty scythe-wielder, the cat orchestrates an endless cycle of deception, luring generations of warriors to their doom. Its goal is simple: to devour. Not just flesh, but memories, legacies, and existence itself, returning all to the Void. This is no ordinary predator. It is the hunger that devours worlds, the appetite of creation, and the inevitable end of all things. And it is always hungry.
