The light of the fireplace cast long shadows on the wall, the fire reflected in the eyes of the woman sitting on the couch with a blanket over her shoulders. She had a bittersweet smile on her face as her mind traveled to the past days, nights long passed, nights she shared with her family when she was a kid. Memories she hoped to bring alive if possible. First story: a story adaptation of a popular folklore in Nigeria; The Princess and the half man; She had sworn on her mother's grave never to be blinded by emotions. But It'd seem she took after her mom in that aspect after all. Throwing all caution to the wind just for a man. She had thought she was different from the rest, leave it to reality to smack her back to her senses. Her feelings for her dad was complicated, she could say she hated him, but that was not quite true, no matter what, he was still her father. The one who pampers and gives in to her every whim. She knew it was partly guilt and the fact she was his only daughter out of a battalion of boys that contributed to his attitude towards her. But so what, she didn't care much for affection, all she had cared for was getting what she wanted, and that had been true about her, until now. Authors note: As a kid my dad will always sit us down at night, outside, in the darkness and tell us the most delightful stories of kingdoms long passed, Princesses and princes, magical creatures, much to the delight of us kids. But there's not much of that nowadays. So I want to share these delightful stories with everyone and I hope by doing this, these stories will not get lost in the sands of time. Thank you, have a nice read.

Under his gaze, with a slow and deliberate motion, the brunette beside him grips the railing and carefully leans back. Aiden's first instinct was to step closer, but the girl's raspy voice stopped him. "You'd be surprised how often I do this, sir." Sensing she had startled him, and perhaps even disturbed him, she added the explanation she knew he needed: "Surely you've had moments in your life when you wished everything would just end," she said, closing her eyes and leaning back a little further. "When I do this, I realize that I don't want to die." The man rested his elbows on the railing and let out a long sigh. She was the first woman in his life he couldn't understand or see through. A unique and complex character, but damn beautiful. "Remind me once again, for the fourth time now, how you passed the psychological evaluation, Miss Joy?" The profound silence between them had become uncomfortable. Aiden felt he should rephrase the question, soften it somehow. For the first time since he'd met her, he felt he'd crossed a line. "Mr. Black," she finally said with a sigh, "when I do this, I realize that I want to live and be happy." Aiden turned his head slightly toward her. Something in his gaze had changed, and Tatum noticed. That's why she casually added: "As for the psychological exams," she chuckled, letting go of the railing, "be assured that I don't have that much cash lying around just to pass them all, only to protect your ass." The man's chuckle put her at ease. She didn't need anyone's pity.

[Warning: Mature Content] The next morning, Luna was lying on the edge of the bed without clothes. There were Benjamin's teeth marks on Luna's body. Then Luna opened her eyes and when she slowly tried to get up, she felt a sharp pain in her lower body. Luna was feeling so much pain in her body that she was unable to move. When Luna saw all her clothes on the floor and her condition, her eyes widened in surprise. Luna did not remember anything. What happened to her last night? She did not remember anything about what happened to her at the party last night?! Just then Benjamin comes out of the bathroom. Benjamin was wearing only a towel. And his six packs were visible. Fair complexion, deep blue eyes and handsome face! Benjamin was a big businessman! But his body was exactly like a hero. Luna used to work in Benjamin's company, but Luna had never seen Benjamin so closely before. Then seeing Luna, Benjamin comes to the mirror and fixes his hair, then signs a cheque of 10 crores and hands it over to Luna and says, "If you think this is not enough, ask for more." On hearing this from Benjamin, Luna angrily tears the cheque and throws it on Benjamin's face and says, "I don't want your money! Who do you think you are? If you are rich, can you force yourself on someone?" Luna covers herself with a blanket and goes to the bathroom. On hearing this from Luna, Benjamin's face smiles and Benjamin looks at the torn cheque and says, "Crazy girl!" After saying this, Benjamin takes out clothes from the wardrobe and gets ready by wearing a black 3-piece suit. After a while, Luna comes out of the bathroom wearing other clothes. Benjamin was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette and looking at Luna. Luna looked at Benjamin once and tried to open the door to quickly get out of the room but she could not open the door, the door was closed and only Benjamin knew the password to open the door. Then Benjamin gets up from the sofa and comes to Luna and looking into her eyes says. "What is your name?" "I don't tell my name to strangers!" Luna said looking at Benjamin with disgust. Hearing this from Luna, Benjamin comes close to Luna's face and says. "Until you tell me your name, you cannot leave this room!" Hearing this from Benjamin, Luna turned her face to the other side and said. "Luna!" "Luna!" Benjamin said while holding Luna's waist and pulling her towards him. Seeing this, Luna started looking at Benjamin in surprise, then Benjamin opened the lock of the door. When Luna saw the door open, she immediately got away from Benjamin and went out of the room.

As he turned to leave, a sense of disappointment washed over me. Not knowing his name or how to contact him felt wrong, but I knew I had to stick to my resolve.

"You consider the first meeting an accident and the second a coincidence?" His words hung between us, more of a statement than a question, making me ponder his sudden inquiry. "Uh, yeah..."

Transmigrating with a system into a sadistic romance novel is a bit overwhelming for Paige at the age of 34 and being a Hikikomori. "You are the protagonist of this world." She stated while the system directly shocked her left and right for disclosing the storyline to the male lead on her first day. A system trying to satisfy the creator, a shut-in that can't take care of herself, and a teenage male lead catching himself infatuated with the wrong person. The more time passed, the more everything went out of control, as apparently nothing had been as it seemed. A dark version of the typical system trope. WARNING: BLOODY, GORE, ANIMAL ABUSE, MENTION OF RAPE, DRUGS, YANDERE....

ONGOING | BOOK COVER ILLUSTRATED BY CHADLER EJERCITO CASTILLO *** First Master Ruyin, who had lost his wife years earlier, formed an alliance with the newly widowed Nightfall Empress Dowager, Xuwen, at the request of his older brother, the Emperor of the Heavenly Empire. This union was a strategic move to protect her son, the newly ascended Nightfall Emperor, from trials and doubts cast by rival clans within the Nightfall Empire regarding his early ascension to the throne. Xichen, the young Nightfall Emperor, did not oppose this arrangement. In fact, he recognized that this alliance would be advantageous to both sides. The tie not only secured peace between the Heavenly Empire and the Nightfall Empire citizens but also sealed a treaty preventing either side-who had long been embroiled in endless conflict-from eventually engaging in war. Once the alliance was sealed, First Master Ruyin and his only son, Young Master Ruan, decided to establish their residence within the Nightfall Empire. Ruan, though known throughout the courts as a spoiled and mischievous teenager, was, in truth, an exceptional prodigy. His raw power grew each day, even without any effort, making his Heavenly Emperor uncle shower him with praise, which further fueled the envy of those around him. Everything seemed to fall perfectly into place, except for the once peaceful harem of the Nightfall Emperor, which became a hotbed of discord as his concubines began vying for his attention. What no one realized, however, was that the entire situation was an orchestrated scheme devised by Ruan himself. With his sharp wit and cunning mind, he was making sure that the Nightfall Emperor was entirely wrapped around his fingers.
