Ashes of Amaedukwu

Odogwu Orie, a bright, observant boy born and raised in the quiet farming village of Amaedukwu, grows up under the influence of his father—a wise farmer and thinker who teaches him the art of listening, observing, and planting not just crops, but ideas. Gifted with wisdom beyond his years and grounded in cultural proverbs, Odogwu sets out to the capital, Obodo Ike, to build a future that no one in his village could have imagined. He begins humbly—an intern at a powerful conglomerate called Omeuzu Group, where he is seen as just another rural boy trying to make it in the big city. But Odogwu’s quiet diligence, analytical mind, and deep understanding of people soon draw attention. From file rooms to boardrooms, he rises through the cracks by turning overlooked opportunities into visible impact. Yet in the very company he gave everything to, he eventually faces betrayal. After fifteen years of steady work—leading projects in research, social impact, and innovation—he is abruptly retrenched following the COVID-19 pandemic, cast aside like a tool no longer needed. But that is not the end. It is the beginning of a second life. Determined not to be defined by abandonment, Odogwu sets out to build something of his own: the first indigenous hotel chain in his country, with branches across the continent. Drawing on the lessons of his father, the wounds of betrayal, and the wisdom of survival, Odogwu rises—this time not as a servant of someone else's dream, but as the architect of his own

Legacy International Academy - Book 1 (Books, Beats, and Beginnings)

Cameron Lilith Edwards aka Camie has always been the girl whispered about in the shadowed hallways of Legacy International Academy. To her classmates, she is the descendant of an ancient Aswang bloodline, a practitioner of forbidden magic, and the source of ominous curses that haunt the town. For Camie, these are nothing but cruel and vicious rumors-ones that have poisoned her family's name for generations. Determined to clear her family's reputation and prove the skeptics wrong, Camie forms the 'Misteryo at Hiwaga -a Horror Mystery Club,' a ragtag group of brave souls dedicated to uncovering the truth behind the school's seven hidden mysteries. But not all secrets are meant to be unraveled, and Camie's journey takes a chilling turn when she stumbles upon an ancient curse tying her destiny to the silver-haired stranger who once saved her life. Together, they must navigate a maze of supernatural peril, fight back against malevolent forces, and untangle the threads of love and fate. As Camie edges closer to the truth, she discovers that some mysteries may be better left buried-and that redemption often comes at a harrowing cost. **This story is a work of fiction.

The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Wenyan read a book in which a cannon-fodder character sharing her name was a false heiress. After the true heiress assumed her position, the impostor tried to secure her place in the wealthy family by drugging the eldest son and making a done deal out of a cooked rice, only to be unmasked by the Shen Family and end up committing suicide in despair. Wenyan was furious to see such an ending. How could one not survive without the backing of a wealthy family? Hadn't the family provided her with a luxury house and countless luxury goods? Just selling those off would fetch tens of millions. She was just a hopeless case! If she were the Wenyan in the book, she would have relinquished her position and just lived laid-back like a salted fish! But when she woke up from her sleep, she actually transmigrated into the book. True to her word, she stopped scheming. Overnight she packed her bags, sold her house, car, and bags, and looked for a job. - The entire Shen Family noticed the change in Wenyan, their adopted daughter. Not only had she moved out obediently, but she also never caused any trouble again. Even more bizarre was that they could now see her innermost thoughts! 【Dad, Mom, I never wanted to usurp your nest, but the DNA test results of the true daughter have issues. In fact, she's even more fake than I, the bogus heiress.】 Shen Family parents: ...... Then the long-lost 'daughter' who had been found was exposed as an impostor and taken away by the police for questioning. 【Big brother, that schoolmate of yours is no good, he's a corporate spy, the illegitimate child of the Shen Family's archenemies.】 Shen Family's eldest son: ...... Afterwards, the schoolmate got caught stealing confidential documents and was also taken away by the police for questioning. 【Second brother, you are such a pure and noble person, you mustn't be with the Qin Family's daughter, she's just using you, her heart is actually set on someone else.】 Shen Family's second son: ...... Thank you, I'll look into it. 【And third brother, fourth brother......】 In the end, nobody could have predicted that the Shen Family's most undistinguished adopted daughter would become the pampered daughter-in-law.
