Mister Money: Inheritance and Love

At Houston University's elite campus in Mayfair City, two worlds collide through the lives of Gerald Martinez and Danny Blackwood. Gerald, a scholarship student from the wrong side of town, navigates the marble halls in his thrift store clothes while his dark curls frame a face hardened by necessity. His worn sneakers echo differently against the polished floors than the Italian leather of his classmates. Danny Blackwood represents everything Gerald isn't—trust fund privilege wrapped in designer suits, a Patek Philippe gleaming on his wrist as he slides into his Lamborghini. The heir to a financial empire, Danny moves through university life with the casual arrogance of someone who's never known want. The catalyst for their collision is Xavier Chen, Gerald's former girlfriend who traded love for luxury when she realized Gerald's potential couldn't match her appetite for Hermès bags and Christian Louboutin heels. Now draped on Danny's arm, she's everything Gerald lost and everything Danny effortlessly possesses. Caught between them stands Naomi Ashworth, the conglomerate heiress whose friendship with Gerald puzzles their social circle. While Alice Montgomery, the school's untouchable beauty goddess, watches from her pedestal alongside Danny's inner circle—Yuri and class president Blondie—Gerald finds support in his dormitory under Rick's guidance and his loyal friend Clinton. As tensions escalate between the dormitories—Rick's working-class fortress and Ivar's white-haired kingdom of privilege—the university becomes a battleground where relationships fracture along lines of wealth, loyalty, and ambition. In Mayfair City's first-class restaurants and boutiques, every interaction carries the weight of class warfare disguised as college drama.

Dream Rebirth

Rick Lane, a successful man in his 50s, built an empire of restaurants across the country. To the world, he's a self-made success story. But behind the polished smile and expensive suits lies a man burdened by regret. The greatest of these: losing Jenny Kane—the only woman he ever truly loved. One quiet night, Rick falls into an unusually vivid dream and wakes up sitting in an old wooden chair, surrounded by chalkboards and the scent of chalk dust. He's back in his college computer science class, at a small provincial university—only it's not just a dream. He's young again, in body and mind, with memories of the future still intact. At first, he thinks he's gone mad. But when the experience repeats, day after day—living his older life during daylight, then returning to his youth at night—he realizes he's been given a second chance. A rare, mysterious bridge between past and present. And this time, he’s determined not to lose Jenny. As Rick begins to alter his actions in the past, echoes of change ripple into his present. Some are beautiful. Others, darker and unexpected. The more he shapes the past, the more uncertain his future becomes. Friends disappear, new rivals emerge, and the restaurant empire begins to falter. Worse, Jenny in the present seems more like a stranger with every passing day. Now torn between his hard-earned legacy and a hauntingly fragile second chance at love, Rick must face the ultimate question: Can he truly rewrite the past to fix the future—or will he destroy everything he has left? A story of redemption, time, and the delicate cost of what we choose to hold onto.

Monarch Of Darkness: The Awakening

Rudolff is gone. The gods are scheming. Hades is... probably on an extended vacation. And Christopher is hungry for revenge. But before he can strike back, he must find purpose. Uncover his true meaning and break every seal that holds him back. To survive, he must awaken his bloodline. But awakening comes at a cost—one that could plunge the world into chaos. *** Second Synopsis/ The prophecy of Dawn. After the last Titanomachy, when the skies had burned thrice red, Erebus shall stir from the depths where silence reigns, And in the hollow void, he shall curse the dawn, Regretting that ever gods were born from Chaos' womb. Cloaked in hatred, he shall not rise in form, But shall drift as shadow, unchained by Tartarus, Seeking not vengeance in flame or sword, But in a Host, one of mortal flesh, A vessel through whom doom shall be poured. The Host shall be born of twilight blood, A son in whom the power of the dead flows strong. Neither fully god nor wholly man, He shall walk the earth with the weight of worlds unseen, And the dead shall heed his call as kin. Through him, wars shall be kindled like stars in the void, Thrones shall crumble, Olympus shall tremble. Not with wrath, but with change shall he strike, Unmaking the ancient order, not to reign, But to erase the right of gods to rule at all. He shall not kneel to god nor Titan, For the bones of empires will pave his path. From the ashes of divine dominion Shall rise an age where no god sits high. Beware the child who dreams of silence, Who walks among graves and speaks to none. He is the storm before the stillness, The harbinger of a world unshackled. Through him, Erebus shall wander, and through him, end the gods. *** A/N: This is my first book BTW. Just wrote it cause it was inspired by my love for Greek mythology and the PJO series. Acknowledgement: Uncle Rick, powerful author. Role model.

He is mine. Don’t touch him.

===================================== Rick, who never speaks or cares about anyone, felt a tinge of affection on her. He likes the way she is domineering everywhere. Slowly her beauty and everything about her attracted him. He likes the way she is. He almost love everything about her. But his fears are making him weak. Will he overcome his fears? Will he confess his love to her? Will she ever fall in love with him? ===================================== Mo Zen: “Can I kiss you?” Ning shyly nodded her head and said ”Yeah” Zen went closer to Ning. Their faces were just few inches apart. He softly put his hand on her waist and pulled closer. She moaned, held his hand tightly and placed other hand on his chest. His lips were just few inches away from hers. He went forward to kiss her. ===================================== Rick: “Who are you to help her?” Mo Zen: “I love her, she loves me.” Rick: “Only in your dreams.” They heard footsteps approaching. Mo Zen: “Stop, she is coming.” A girl came inside in a black trousers and yellow t-shirt with her hair tied up. ===================================== Ning: “Seriously, Why did you spend so much money for me for everything when you don’t even like? Why do you even take care of me when you don’t want me?” Her parents (Mr and Mrs Wu): Ning: “Now I understood why you never said my name as Wu Ning anywhere, so you don’t want anyone to know that I am your daughter? or I am not even your daughter? Tell the truth” ===================================== In a class, teacher Mrs Yan asked “One by one, tell what you all want to become?” Zhang Siquian said “A Businessman.” Someone shouted “A teacher.” Wang Ming said “A Psychologist.” Now it was Rick’s turn. He slowly stood. Everyone were waiting for his answer but he was thinking deeply then he lifted his head and said “I want to be loved by her.” And then looked at Ning from corner of his eyes, which went unnoticed by all except her. All were shocked by his answer that they did not notice about whom he spoke. But she did notice. =====================================
