[MATURE CONTENT] Abigail Snow accidentally caught her fiancé being intimate with her sister. She learned that her fiancé had only used her to advance his business and had never truly loved her. Heartbroken, Abigail called off the engagement and left everything behind to start a new life with nothing. At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer. As Abigail begins to fall in love with Sawyer, his childhood sweetheart reappears, causing doubt and confusion for her. *** Excerpt: Whoever this man was, he was her savior. If he hadn’t held her hand and pulled her, she might have become dead meat and gone straight to the afterlife. "Thank you so much, good sir," Abigail said softly as she finally looked up to see him. Abigail was stunned. "But I'm not planning to commit suicide. I tripped over my own feet,” she continued, avoiding eye contact. She stared at his chest—her line of sight only reaching his sturdy chest. “It sounds better to hear that, Miss. Because I don’t want to go to the police station to become a witness, or they might wrongly accuse me as a suspect,” he said with a sarcastic tone that caused Abigail to stifle a laugh. "Sir, I’m so grateful you helped me. You are my savior. I owe you my life—" Abigail paused, taken aback by her own words. How could she make such a deep vow to this man!? This man might take advantage of her if he was a bad person. Right? "Alright, young lady, you’re supposed to release your tight embrace on me. You’re safe now." Abigail was utterly shocked to hear his words. She only realized she was still in his arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and her entire body pressed against him. They were so close—close enough to hear his loud heartbeat. She quickly took a few steps back. _____ Author Novel: 1. DAMN! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (Completed) 2.

NOTE: THIS IS ALL FANFIC OUT OF MY IMAGINATION. Sean Xiao (Xiao Zhan. I'll direct him as such in this novel it might be a short story or maybe longer than I expected let's hope and read together) Sean Xiao and Wang jie(Wang yibo. I'll also direct him as such in the novel). are twins born on the same day. Sean, was just few seconds older than Wang jie. But they were separated due to an unexpected event which was still strange to the Xiao family. In summary, this is a story about two un-identical twin brothers who were separated... I'm even confused with the summary. I only have the idea. I suggest you read and enjoy. Additional note: no r-rated events maybe cuss words but I'll try to be as innocent as I've claimed to be. I'm an innocent mind. just enjoy the brothers who go through ups and downs with great turn of events and later of course, a reassured fate. _____________________________________ Remember to support your lovely author.

In a realm where dragons once lived as humans, cursed to exist as beasts until their stone hearts are awakened, the young dragon Ioulos finds himself in turmoil. Although he enjoys the freedom of being a dragon, he yearns for a heartbeat—a genuine human connection—but hesitates to reclaim his lost humanity. Princess Genoa, who possesses the extraordinary ability to bring harmony to those around her, feels a deep-seated void in her seemingly idyllic life. When their paths intersect, an unexpected friendship blossoms, fueled by curiosity and a shared longing for something beyond their understanding. Together, they might discover revelations that could alter their destinies, but the cost of their bond could be steep. Princess Genoa has always lived among dragons, yet her father strictly prohibits any interaction, fearing that her unique gift could awaken a dragon’s dormant heart and forge an unbreakable link. Despite her father's warnings, she is drawn to the dragons' strength and grace, particularly to Ioulos. When she sneaks into Uilliam’s castle to observe the dragons during their annual gathering, a fleeting encounter with Ioulos ignites a connection that neither can dismiss. Captivated by his warmth, she returns to her town, eager to learn more about him, and embarks on a quest to find his castle. However, she accidentally stumbles into Nahum's lair and finds herself ensnared by the dragon, only to be saved by Ioulos, who arrives just in time. Though rattled, she escapes, left bewildered by her feelings for him. Meanwhile, Ioulos grapples with whether he has done enough to keep her safe. As tensions rise among the dragons and preparations for Genoa's arranged marriage to Prince Yaakov begin, her growing bond with Ioulos complicates her future. Ioulos sends an enigmatic letter inviting Genoa to his castle. Although she tells her attendant a little white lie about shopping for a gift for Yaakov, she secretly sets off toward Ioulos’s domain. Upon her arrival, Ioulos greets her with a hint of nervousness and ushers her into his magnificent, dragon-themed castle. As they enjoy a meal together, their connection deepens, with Genoa making it clear that her visit to Nahum's lair was solely to find him, not to explore the homes of all dragons. As they navigate their evolving relationship, Genoa confides in Ioulos about her impending marriage to Prince Yaakov, aware that their time together is fleeting. Ioulos presents her with a stunning gown, and despite the uncertainties that lie ahead, both feel a mix of excitement and apprehension about what the future holds, unsure of where their shared curiosity might take them. It’s a tale in which the lines between protagonist and antagonist blur, revealing the hidden depths of their true selves.
