"You're actually just here because you have no choice. The contract has been signed and there's no need going back. However, you must not expect me to love you, Carlos Bill does not love anyone..."

I hope I've made myself clear?" Anna nodded as she gulped. He smiled and slowly pulled her in for a hug. ___ Sheltered and cared for, Annabel Liam, twenty years old, diagnosed to have the very same illness that had been the cause of her father's death, she lived a carefree life, working in a hospital as a cleaner.

“Don’t fall in love with me. You won’t survive it.” When Alicia's father trades her to clear a massive debt, she finds herself trapped in the high-rise world of Anthony Blake, a young billionaire, ruthless CEO, and the coldest man she’s ever met. He needs a fiancée—for one year only. No love. No intimacy. Just a contract that will benefit them both. But living under the same roof with a man like Anthony is dangerous. Not because he’s cruel, but because he sees too much. And he makes her feel things she was never supposed to feel. She was supposed to be a pawn. But he never expected her to become his weakness. A fake engagement. A broken girl. A man who swore never to love. What happens when the lines blur… and one night changes everything?

Princess Rosemary is a wilted flower in her father’s court. Born into a society that puts power on a pedestal, her frail body and faltering angelic powers earn only scorn from the nobles and icy contempt from her father. Suffocated by whispers and rejection, Rose’s gentle spirit breaks, driving her to do the unimaginable. But as she does so, memories of her brother's kindness renew her will to live. Yet, it might already be too late as she's dragged under the raging river. As all hope seems lost, a pair of cold eyes peer back at her. Would their owner bring the salvation she so desperately craves, or a continuation of the emotional torment she has endured since she was a child?

Imagine: A stone-cold Russian billionaire heir—Viktor Mikhailov (picture: brooding, black turtlenecks, eyes like a winter storm)—gets his entire life nuked when a secret baby appears on his doorstep during a thunderstorm. The twist? - The mom’s a manipulative party-girl who drugged him to get pregnant (trauma). - Baby Misha is half-Korean, all cheeks, and already inherits his "I will end you" glare. - Viktor’s family? Literal villains. Think: evil stepmoms, icy patriarch, and a mansion full of backstabbers. Now he’s juggling: - Harvard poetry classes (his one soft spot), - Diaper explosions (Yuri, his himbo bodyguard/BFF, helps… sorta), - Mafia-level family drama (they want the baby gone). Vibes: - "John Wick but with baby wipes." - "Succession meets Masha and the bear." - Angst so thick you could drown in it… until Misha babbles and Viktor’s cold heart melts. Why you’ll cry: - Viktor whispering “I don’t deserve you" while sobbing into Misha’s curls. - Misha throwing mashed potatoes (Ah, I think it was yogurt? shii, I don't remember) at Anastasia’s $50k fur coat. - The jellyfish hair clips. Always the jellyfish clips. TL;DR: A man who’d never held a baby becomes DAD OF THE YEAR while fighting his psycho family, falling in love with his kid, and low-key redeeming his soul. Feat. Russian lullabies, baby fencing lessons, and emotional damage.

Ava Sinclair, once the cherished daughter of a wealthy family, finds her world in ruins after her father's mysterious death and the collapse of their company. Now struggling to pay for her younger brother’s life-saving treatments, Ava is drowning in debt with no options left. Just when she’s about to break, Damien Blackwood — a cold, calculating billionaire with a reputation for cruelty , offers her a deal: marry him for one year in exchange for money, protection, and complete financial support. But the contract comes with strict conditions . No intimacy, no emotions, and no freedom. What Ava doesn’t know is that Damien has a hidden agenda. Years ago, he was destroyed by her family’s betrayal and he believes Ava played a role in that downfall. What started as a calculated move to humiliate her turns unexpectedly complicated when the woman he wants to break turns out to be stronger than he imagined. Living under the same roof, Ava quietly endures Damien’s cold stares and sharp words, facing humiliation from his staff, his social circle, and the media. But she never bends. Her quiet strength and fierce loyalty begin to unsettle him. Damien, expecting a spoiled heiress, instead finds a woman with fire buried beneath the ashes of her broken life. As Damien plays puppet master, controlling parts of Ava’s life from behind the scenes, Ava begins to uncover pieces of the past — the truth behind her father’s fall, and Damien’s connection to it. Meanwhile, Ava’s ex-fiancé resurfaces, hoping to exploit her vulnerability again. But this time, Damien intervenes, destroying the man publicly in a savage business move that stuns everyone. Ava, tired of being controlled, begins to fight back. She focuses on building something of her own — perhaps a fashion brand, legal service, or business startup — proving she’s not just a pawn in a man’s world. Her newfound independence draws attention, and even Damien starts seeing her as an equal rather than a tool for revenge. But as their icy dynamic begins to melt, one stolen kiss, one accidental moment of vulnerability, sparks something far more dangerous than hatred. Desire. Their passion simmers beneath the surface as both try to pretend it means nothing. But Damien is losing control. His long-held anger starts to unravel as he realizes Ava may have been innocent all along. When the truth finally surfaces that Ava was manipulated just like him , the weight of his guilt crushes him. Ava, devastated by his betrayal and manipulation, leaves him. Without her, Damien crumbles. For the first time, he’s forced to confront his own demons, the pain of the past, the lies he believed, and the woman he pushed away. Meanwhile, Ava begins investigating her father's death in earnest, uncovering a darker conspiracy that links back to the real person who destroyed both their families. When this hidden enemy targets Ava directly, Damien risks everything to save her. Together, they expose the truth, reclaim what was stolen from them, and take revenge on the ones who once broke them. In the end, Ava’s brother is saved, her business thrives, and she no longer needs a man to survive. But when Damien asks her to marry him again , this time without a contract , Ava makes her own choice. She chooses him not out of desperation, but out of love. Their story closes with redemption, healing, and a future built not on revenge, but on hard-earned trust and desire. Perhaps with a wedding vow renewal, a pregnancy reveal, or a quiet moment of peace between two once-broken souls who now belong only to each other.
