His Contractual Mistress

“Darling, you are the moon that gave light in my darkest times.” She gave up finding a man who could make her heart skip a beat and fall in love; Hailey Hillson accepted her best friend’s marriage proposal but then changed her mind after hearing another woman say she couldn’t please a man in bed. When it was just a week away from their wedding day, Bryan got back together with his ex-girlfriend Eva Lan. Hailey broke up with Bryan and called off their wedding. But then, she discovered an interesting fact about Eva Lan—she is married. ‘Did her husband know she was cheating on him?’ * After the heartbreak, Hailey focused on completing her LIFE PROJECT. To achieve it, she went overseas, where she came across Vincent Lopez Shen, the CEO of Shen Group Construction Firm, who later offered her a contract to pretend as his mistress to get his wife's attention. As she also had an ulterior motive, she signed the contract without thinking twice. However... What will happen after she lives with Vincent Shen under one roof when he is Eva’s husband—the woman who destroyed her relationship with Bryan? Will Vincent find out her secret regarding her true identity? Would she find out the secret Vincent keeps that is related to her? EXCERPT: “Miss Eva Lan, why won’t you sign the divorce papers if you are happy with someone’s fiancé’s bed?” Glancing at her with disbelief, Bryan turned his head to the woman inside his arm; he asked, “What the hell is this, Eva?” Hailey cut in. “Oh, you didn’t know Miss Lan is a married woman, my dear ex-fiance?” Her words are a bomb to Bryan. “You shut up! Don’t believe her, Bryan! She is just jealous of me because you love me over her!” Hailey scoffed, a playful smile playing on her lips; before she could spout another word, the woman in front of her paled like a ghost. “Vincent, what are you doing here?” Horror, panic, and shock linger on her face to see her husband appear out of nowhere and his arms wrapped around the girl’s waist. Vince shoots a cold glare at his wife, and he feels no familiarity between them. He withdrew his gaze from the two people before them. He turned his head to the woman standing next to him, he looked at her with tenderness in his eyes, and with a loving tone, he asked her, “Darling, who upsets you? Tell me, and I will remove them from your sight in an instant.” Hailey lifted her chin. As her eyes flickered, her cheeks were flushing scarlet red. Coquettishly, she whispered in Vincent's ear, “Darling, Miss Lan bullied me. She said I couldn’t satisfy a man in bed. She told me I didn’t know how to… do that….” Vincent contorted the corners of his mouth and beamed. “That’s interesting.” “What do you mean by that?” she pouted. “What I am trying to say is… You are a fast learner, and all you need is the right partner.” * * * ~Be ready for many twists ~Novel was ENDING at Chapter 400.

DARK JUSTICE

"The water choked him, the cold seeping into his bones. His mind, usually so sharp, fractured into a thousand desperate thoughts. He saw her face above him, contorted by a primal rage, and in his final, suffocating gasp, he knew. Not just an opponent. A predator. He tried to speak, to beg, to curse, but only a gurgle escaped as darkness claimed him. His last thought, a chilling realization: She was more monster than detective." In the rain-slicked streets of Owerri, I live a double life. By day, I'm Detective Elise Blackwood, bound by the law, navigating a system that often fails the innocent. By night, I become a ghost, a weapon forged by a mother's murder, hunting the powerful Network – the city's corrupt elite who operate above all law. They stole my past; I'm here to tear down their future. Every stolen ledger, every breached server, drags me deeper into their deadly game, transforming me from hunter to the hunted. My knuckles ached, the water cold as ice, as I forced him under. This wasn't just justice. This was survival. And a promise kept. I've walked through fire, made impossible choices, and faced betrayal from every angle. Now, as I close in on their elusive financial architect, Pierce M., the man whose secrets can finally bring their empire crashing down, the true cost of my war reveals itself. The truth about Pierce is far more devastating, far more personal, than any nightmare I could have imagined. My pursuit of dark justice is about to collide with a betrayal that will redefine everything I am.

Ashes of Eleonor: The Forgotten Flame

I remember, I was shot multiple times and fell into the cliff. My body landed on the cold water of the river, the impact was unbearable and painful. The water pulled me deeper, to the darkness and the deafening silence of the void. The gunshot still echoes in my ears and the wounds are aching badly I want to scratch it . Yet, what's more painful is an act of betrayal I never saw coming. I was blind and naive to never saw that coming. The person I trusted, the person I kept and sheltered, makes a fool out of me. The most ungrateful person I knew. I feel like every memories are coming back to me, from my childhood----how I was trained to kill people and do bad things. How I actually kill someone, how I manage to escape from that place and how I manage to be on top--and finally---here. My greatest downfall. I am Elise Cheong. The most wanted fugitive in all of Asia. A ruthless force, an untouchable criminal the authorities couldn't even get close to. I am a woman of pride, honor, and darkness. A name spoken in whispers, feared by all who cross it. My power is not just a shield—it's a fortress. A sanctuary that protects me from the chaos, from the world that waits to tear me apart. I am Elise Cheong. But at some point, I know that I am also someone else. Someone young, kind and loving person. A person who lives a peaceful life despite the chaos caused by creatures that lurks around that vast wall. I still remember it, a sharp sword pierced my heart ----swift and precise. My body landed on the cold grass as my blood drip from my fatal wound. I was naive, I am always that way---but that merciless betrayal was too much for me to handle. Trusting is both a scary and fleeting thing, an immense feeling of a brief companion yet, a darkness that a person can ever imagine. I am Victoria Harper. There is a power within me, yet I chose to conceal and live normally. I prefer a peaceful world, even with the darkness around me. I protect myself and the people I cared about without shredding blood and wounding anyone. I am powerful because of that. I am Victoria Harper. I was one or both of them, and somehow, I lost both and became another person.
