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.

It was supposed to be one reckless night. No names, no rules. Just heat, raw passion, and a man who made me forget everything, except how amazing he felt between my thighs. I didn’t know he was Dante Romano, heir to the city’s most ruthless mafia empire. I didn’t know I’d end up working for him. And I definitely didn’t plan to move into his estate with armed men, luxury bedrooms, and him finding reasons to be around me, looking sinfully hot and impossible to ignore. Now I have 100 days under his control, locked in his world of secrets, violence, and temptation, trying to use my cybersecurity skills to protect the empire he was born to rule. But the real danger isn’t the enemies lurking outside and inside. It’s the way he looks at me like I already belong to him. It started with a one-night stand. It might end with me burning for a man I was never meant to love.

They called me Lu Siyan—the cold CEO, the aloof husband of the villainess in some overused female lead novel. But I wasn’t some extra. I wasn’t here to play along. And no, it’s really not because I got thrown out of the office that I ran off to the slums. I just didn’t feel like bowing to a world that already scripted my failure. With nothing but a borrowed suit and a fake ID, I built a company out of lies, sweat, and caffeine. My first batch of employees? Kidnapped—well, hunted—from a third-rate college using a plastic gun. The principal, oddly impressed, muttered, “At least he’s increasing our employment rate…” The office was a mess, so I made it into a simulator. Literally. I built an “Office Worker Simulator” where chaos reigned and productivity thrived. My empire rose from bugs, bugs, and even more bugs. But it worked. Then one day, I saw her—my old boss from my past life, looking exactly the same. Turns out, she’s my biological mother in this world. The same boss who wrung me dry like a used dishcloth… was my actual mom here. I thought I was just born to suffer. Still, a boss is a boss. And a sponsorship is a sponsorship. So I did what any self-respecting fake CEO would do. I made my mom the chairman of my company. And so begins the tale of the slum CEO, the accidental son, and the world’s first “office simulator tycoon.”
