Isabella Hammond

Fake Date, Real Fate

"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

My Harem Lord Ex-Fiancé Became My Apprentice

The Immortal Empress's Harem Apprentice- She was the betrayed Empress. He was the Harem Lord who shattered her heart. Millennia ago, Empress Xianxia, the peerless Blazing Immortal, stood at the apex of power, only to be abandoned by Long Hu, the infamous Harem Lord, for a thousand lesser women. His betrayal carved a wound deeper than any blade. Now, destiny delivers a cruel jest: Long Hu, stripped of his power, amnesiac, and utterly lost, washes up at her feet, begging for guidance. Xianxia sees not a chance for forgiveness, but an exquisite, long-awaited revenge. She takes him as her personal apprentice, intending to humble the once-arrogant Lord through menial tasks and silent torment. Yet, her game takes an unprecedented turn. Long Hu, utterly devoid of traditional cultivation, possesses a chillingly unique ability: spiritual intuition. He can perceive, filter, and 'debug' the deepest spiritual impurities, unraveling insidious corruptions others cannot even sense. His unassuming chores inadvertently expose something far grander and more terrifying than palace intrigues. He unearths the true, cosmic horror behind his own downfall: the Void Devourers. Ancient, malevolent entities that don't just conquer, but actively hunger for despair, cultivating misery, making vile pacts with ambitious Lords, and turning even the agony of defeat into sustenance. Thrust onto the front lines of a secret war at the Grand Conclave, Long Hu's unique sight becomes the Empress's only weapon. He exposes realms poisoned by hidden suffering, reveals leaders who traded their people's grief for power, and glimpses the Devourers' insidious methods of turning conflict itself into a harvest. As the lines between master and apprentice blur, and a dangerous, undeniable current of shared vulnerability and strange attraction ignites between them, Xianxia's vengeance transforms into a desperate, shared mission. She discovers she's not just breaking her former betrayer; she's nurturing the only being capable of seeing the unseen enemy. Now, with the Azure Heaven Realm on the brink of cosmic war, the Empress and her uniquely broken apprentice must embark on an unprecedented campaign. Their goal isn't just victory, but to find a way to sever the Devourers' connection to suffering, to cleanse the very source of their sustenance. Can a betrayed Empress truly trust the man who broke her? Can a memory-shattered Lord rise to defend a realm he doesn't recall? Their intertwined destinies hold the key to either salvation or the ultimate feast for a universe-consuming hunger.

Silent Noise

Silent Noise For the past five years, people have been going missing - in the most mysterious way. It always starts the same. They begin to lose their minds. Not gradually - suddenly. Violently. They rant about a noise only they can hear. But they insist... it's not just noise. They describe it as a melody - strange and haunting. Piano chords layered with birdsong, ocean waves crashing, and, oddly, the crackle of chains - like someone imprisoned. And then, a hum. A low, slow hum... like a prisoner singing to himself in the dark. But the hum is unsettling. Beautiful... but wrong. Like Lucifer humming a lullaby to his master before the fall. They say it draws you in like a siren's call. Sweet. Hypnotic. Irresistible. Until it doesn't stop. Until it becomes constant. Then it becomes noise. A maddening one. Worse than any alarm - like an emergency call you can't ignore. Ring. Ring. Will you answer it? That beautiful, cursed sound that only you can hear? Or will you let it ring... let it drive you mad? Because once you hear it... it never stops. And no one else can hear it. So they pick up the call, whispering: "I can hear you... I'm not mad... or am I?" Some sob. Some chuckle. And then they follow the sound - into the unknown. They never return. No bodies. No signs of death. Just madness... and a strange melody. Doctors call it insanity. All medical reports show the same signs: Auditory hallucinations. Psychological breakdown. Patients are declared unstable, admitted, treated... And then - they vanish. It's been five years. Ten people gone. No trace. No clues. Just the same mysterious melody. The media calls it a hoax. The police call it a prank. "Kids being kids," they say. Excuses. Lies. Silence. And then one day... it stopped. No more madness. No more disappearances. No more sound. That was the day Isabella Eric came to Edenville. A town drowning in secrets. A girl with a life far from perfect. A past she barely understands. But her arrival is no accident. She doesn't know it yet - but Isabella has a connection to the Silent Noise. A deep one. A dangerous one. What is her purpose in Edenville? What ties her to the missing people? Will she face the melody? Will love save her... or destroy her? Find out in SILENT NOISE.
