Ava, driven by a burning desire for revenge against those responsible for her parents' tragic fate, seeks to exploit the vast resources of Ethan's powerful family. She hopes to uncover the truth behind her parents' murder and bring the perpetrators to justice, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Ethan needs a wife to secure his position in the family business and appease his grandmother, the ruthless and cunning matriarch of the family empire. He believes Ava's beauty, intelligence, and determination make her the perfect candidate for the role. As they navigate their complicated alliance, they must confront their own dark pasts. But amidst the danger and deception, they begin to realize that their feelings for each other go far beyond mere convenience. They start to experience the thrill of forbidden love, a romance that could jeopardize their entire plan. As tensions escalate, Ava and Ethan must decide whether their growing passion is worth risking everything. Will they continue to prioritize their original goals, or will they succumb to the allure of a love that could change their lives forever? Against the backdrop of luxury and deceit, Ava and Ethan must navigate a complex web of power struggles, family dynamics, and hidden agendas. Will they emerge victorious, or will their marriage become a casualty of their families' endless quest for power? And will their love survive the secrets and lies that surround them? Excerpt: Ethan's eyes gleamed with amusement as he whispered in Ava's ear, "You know, wife, you're adorable when you're trying to be stern." He was leaning against the wall, his arms crossed, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that made her heart race. Ava's eyes flashed with irritation, her cheeks flushing. "Ethan, stop teasing me. We need to focus on our plan." She tried to sound firm, but her voice trembled slightly, betraying her frustration. Ethan's grin only grew wider. "Oh, come on, Ava. You know I'm just trying to lighten the mood. You're so serious all the time." He pushed off the wall, his movements fluid and graceful, and took a step closer to her. Ava's hands clenched into fists, her voice firm. "This isn't a game, Ethan. Our lives are at stake. We can't afford to make mistakes." She tried to sound convincing, but her eyes kept drifting to his, and she couldn't help but notice the way his eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. Ethan's expression turned innocent, his eyes sparkling with mischief. "Who says I'm not taking it seriously? Maybe I'm just trying to distract you from the tension between us." He raised an eyebrow, his gaze fixed on hers, and Ava felt her heart skip a beat. "There's no tension, Ethan. We're just allies in this marriage pact," she lied, trying to sound convincing. But her voice was barely above a whisper, and Ethan's knowing gaze made her feel like he could see right through her. Ethan's chuckle was low and husky. "Keep telling yourself that, Ava. But I see the way you look at me sometimes... like you're trying to resist a temptation." He took another step closer, his eyes locked onto hers, and Ava felt her pulse race. "I don't know what you're talking about," she lied again, trying to sound convincing. But her eyes darted away, betraying her. Ethan's whisper was soft, his breath caressing her ear. "Oh, but I think you do, Ava. And soon, you'll have to admit it." His words sent shivers down her spine, and Ava knew she was in danger of falling for her husband's charms, even though she refused to admit it. The air was charged with tension, their banter a delicate dance of denial and attraction. And in that moment, Ava knew she was walking a thin line between resistance and surrender.

Ghough

Lacrima Taiwo, once a child soldier in a war-torn realm, is starting anew under the mentorship of Archmage Lunabelle Taiwo, the woman who pulled him from the battlefield and taught him a life of nobility and restraint. His past, marred by violence and survival, has granted him an instinctive understanding of Kanon energy that surpasses his peers, making him a target of envy among the elite students at Cleo’s Academy of the Mystical Arts, the most prestigious school in the capital. Here, he’s surrounded by heirs to ancient magical lineages, each grappling with their own political tensions and ambitions. Lacrima is determined to keep to himself, focusing on mastering his newfound skills and burying the dark memories of his childhood. Yet, the academy has secrets of its own. Beneath its grand towers and ancient halls, a hidden world festers—a place of shifting mirrors, spectral whispers, and treacherous shadows. Known as the Wraithwell, this realm is bound by the Veil of Eternity, a fragile barrier that barely contains a sinister energy stirring within. As ancient wards falter, dark forces—dragons, liches, and cults—begin to slip through, threatening to unravel the very fabric of reality. When Lacrima and his fiery classmate Zander stumble upon a map hidden within a spectral echo of the academy’s past, they are drawn into a conspiracy as old as magic itself. The map guides them to the Mirror Halls, an eerie, alternate version of the academy that pulses with the life of a place caught between worlds and time itself. Here, they encounter whispers of a figure called the Weaver, an entity woven into the academy’s history and its magic, along with an ancient order known only as the Crimson Key. Together, Lacrima and Zander must navigate this treacherous underworld, where each choice could tip the scales of reality and time dilation could alter their very existence. Their search for answers unveils forbidden knowledge and blood-bound secrets that reveal Zander’s family’s sinister ties to primordial beings and Lacrima’s own unbreakable connection to the Weaver. With dark entities slipping through the Veil and archmages scheming for power, Lacrima realizes that to save the world from impending doom, he may have to surrender to a fate he has fought to escape—a fate that may cost him his freedom, his sanity, and even his soul. Ghough is a journey into the shadowed heart of magic, where trust is a luxury, time bends under pressure, and darkness is a constant companion.
