Yan Lidong always thought he would live out a relatively ordinary life, free of trouble.

If they happen to involve the romantic affairs of the nearly omnipotent Lord of the apocalypse, who singlehandedly defeated the zombie king, then so be it. One problem. Yan Lidong might just have an extensive past with the Lord, and the Lord might have been harbouring some rather untoward feelings for many, many years.

"Madisyn, I need to know!" Joey's voice trembled with urgency, her eyes searching Madisyn's for answers. "You don't deserve to know!" Madisyn shot back, her voice cracking as tears welled up in her eyes. "Not after you broke up with me!" Her words dissolved into sobs, her chest heaving with the weight of her emotions. "Please," Joey's voice softened, filled with desperation. "Just tell me… is the kid you're pregnant with mine or is it my brother's?" --- Madisyn had always envisioned a simple, colorful life.

Eisley Sawyer was promised to Magnus Sawyer by her mother at a tender age for marriage. However, Magnus turned out to be far from a loving husband. He is one to cheat and beat her up, whether she was at fault or not. Desperate to escape this nightmare, Eisley overheard the local wives discussing a notorious gangster and businessman coming to town. This man, Irwin Kent, happened to be her husband's boss—a man known for having any woman he desired, even those married to his employees. Eisley saw in Irwin a man more powerful than her husband, presenting her with a potential escape route. But how long could she rely on this path without falling for her saviour? EXTRACT: Magnus gazed at Irwin, then dropped to his knees. "Forgive me, but she's all I have. I can't lose her. I love her so much. Please, let her come back to me." Irwin leaned back, eyes fixed on the ceiling as the smoke from his cigarette clouded his view. "She wants a divorce." A heavy silence filled the room. Irwin sat up, scrutinizing Magnus, who remained on his knees, utterly bewildered. "My wife is still very young and naive." "Is she? She strikes me as quite bold and wise," Irwin countered, "She's my type," he added, biting his lower lip with a smirk that made Magnus furious. "Sir, Eisley is my whole life!"

I never in my wildest imagination thought that my life would one day take such a huge turn: signing a marriage contract with Jonathan Wells, the coldest billionaire in Wells Enterprise, so my sister could stay alive. It was supposed to be cut and dry: I’d be his wife on paper, and in return, he would take care of my sister’s medical bill and promise our future. No attachments. No strings. Business only. But life rarely adheres to a simple script, does it? Pulled into his ruthless world, secrets of my past start to resurface, putting everything in jeopardy. I, Chloe Jackson, was the illegitimate daughter of his biggest competitor-a man I had been running from my whole life. Now my estranged father wants me back under his control, just when I’m starting to see that maybe Jonathan isn’t as heartless as he seems. Torn between the board’s merciless scrutiny, Jonathan’s mistrust, and a corporate war driven by my father, I’m adrift in a maelstrom of power, betrayal, and something even more dangerous—love. I wasn’t supposed to fall for him. I wasn’t supposed to care. But in the end, it might not be the contract that keeps our worlds apart-but rather the very thing that could mend my heart. Because Jonathan Wells isn’t just a billionaire. He’s the only man who can break me-or save me.

Are you nervous?" he asks, breaking the silence that has settled between us. I shook my head, trying to push aside the anxious thoughts that are swirling in my head. This is what I wanted, isn't it? To give into the passion that's been building between us? But as we step into the luxurious hotel room, I can't help but feel out of place. The plush bedding, the high-end amenities, everything screams wealth and privilege. And here I am, a struggling waitress who can barely make ends meet. But Syd doesn't seem to notice my discomfort. He pulls me into his arms, his lips finding mine with an intensity that takes my breath away. His hands roam over my body, igniting a fire within me that I never knew existed. I moan against his lips, lost in the moment. Every touch, every kiss, feels like a rebellion against the world that tries to keep us apart. For once, I feel like I have control over my life, over my desires. As we move together in a rhythm that's as old as time, I know that this moment won't last forever. But for now, I'm content to lose myself in the passion and intensity that Syd brings out in me. In that moment, nothing else matters. Not the contract that brought us together, not the obstacles that stand in our way. All that matters is the way he makes me feel, the way he holds me close as if nothing else exists in the world.

“You're mine for the next six months," his cold voice sliced through the tension, sending a shiver down her spine. Summers locked eyes with him, his deep blue gaze both captivating and intimidating. She wanted to refuse, to escape, but fear held her back, and the weight of her cousin's demands pressed down on her. As his hand gripped hers with a mix of force and threat, the lines between duty and desire began to blur. She pressed her lips into a thin line, shutting her eyes tightly. "Yes, I'll be with you," she whispered, her voice barely audible. Slowly opening her eyes, she saw the devilish smirk playing on his lips.

One day I found myself as a character in a novel... the evil step-mother. Marianne Tuvol Apollyon a stupid minor villain with no real purpose to the story besides being a nuisance. Yet, one day I found myself in the body of such a character who was destined to die after being used by the other, more important villains. Fortunately, fate had not abandoned me and granted me strength beyond the sensible limit of reason within this story. I was supposed to die, the empire was supposed to fall, the main character was supposed take over my position as the head of the house... at least in the story. Everything would be different now; I'll let the empire fall, but I refuse to live the dull, predestined life of a character. I'll turn this entire story into a sandbox to create my own country and rule. The main character will be properly retrained to become my strongest servant. I am Marianne Tuvol Apollyon.

"My 3rd son-" "I want the first." "But my 3rd so-" "I want the first." "You do know that my 3r-" "I still want the first" "..."
