Bones Beneath My Feet

Beneath Secrets and Scandalous Pain

Beneath Secrets and Scandalous Pain When a one-night stand with a CEO results in pregnancy, a reluctant marriage binds two strangers together, but as tackle scandals, conflicts, and their own demons, they discover a love that heals their deepest wounds. ** "Why didn't you tell me?" He asked her as he began the ride to his house. "You had your men drag me out, remember?" She laughed and closed her eyes, the soft curve of her smile a stark contrast to the tension between them. Leo stared at her, his gaze lingering for a moment before he looked away, his expression unyielding. Nothing can make him fall in love with her. "Did you understand my terms?" he asked, his voice low and detached. "My lawyer will arrive soon, but first, I need you to understand." Abi's eyes fluttered open, her gaze meeting Leo's in the rearview mirror. "You told me that we are going to be married because of our scandal and the baby," she began, her voice even. "We are free to be in other relationships. We are not going to share any slightest form of intimacy, and we would go our separate ways when the baby is born. And, of course, I'll still have access to the baby." A small smile settled on his face, approval flickering in his eyes. "Seems like you're not that useless. You're a little smart." Abi's smile grew, a spark of pride igniting in her voice. "I was the most brilliant kid in my class. I had a GPA of 4.7 when I was graduating." Leo's smirk was lightning-fast. "That's so low. I would have graduated with a 10.0, but unfortunately, I was still the highest with a 5.0 in my department. You may go back to school to match my score."

The Sleeper Beneath

Dr. Elias Vayne, a renowned archaeologist obsessed with lost civilizations, uncovers an ancient scroll that leads him to the barren heart of the desert. The scroll speaks of a forgotten empire, one that thrived in the shadows of history, ruled by god-like beings who granted their people unimaginable power—but at a terrible cost. Buried beneath the sands lies the key to their rise and eventual fall: a sealed tomb, hidden away for millennia, its entrance forgotten by time. Driven by the chance to rewrite history, Elias assembles a small team to unearth the secrets of this lost empire. But as they dig deeper, they begin to realize that some mysteries were never meant to be uncovered. Strange artifacts and cryptic symbols offer more questions than answers, while eerie dreams and whispered warnings haunt their every step. Inside the tomb, murals tell a story of a civilization at the height of its power, capable of controlling the very elements and bending reality itself. But the murals also depict the entity responsible for the empire’s downfall—a god-like being imprisoned within a black stone, locked away by those who feared the darkness it wielded. As Elias and his team venture further into the labyrinthine chambers of the tomb, the line between myth and reality begins to blur. The tomb itself seems alive, its ancient magic stirring as they disturb its long-forgotten secrets. With each new discovery, the entity within the stone grows closer to awakening, and Elias must confront the terrifying possibility that by unlocking the past, they may have unleashed an unspeakable force that could bring about the destruction of the modern world. The Sleeper Beneath is a dark, atmospheric exploration of obsession, power, and the dangers of delving too deep into the unknown. As Elias’s quest for knowledge spirals into a nightmare, he must decide whether to stop the entity’s awakening—or embrace the power it offers, even at the cost of his soul.

"Beneath the Ashes: A Slut’s Tale of Survival"

On Earth, she was many things, but the world knew her as a survivor—the kind willing to do whatever it took to make it through another day. In a destroyed, monster-filled wasteland, her weapon was seduction, her looks the only shield she had against death. Let them call her a slut; at least she was alive. But death never came. Instead, she finds herself in Jeper, a strange, seductive world ruled by powerful alien beings. And among them stands Caelum, an enigmatic, infuriatingly confident alien leader with a presence she can’t ignore. His dark gaze sees through her games, his every word a challenge, and for the first time, she finds herself unarmed in ways she can’t control. Now, with survival at stake and no way back to Earth, she must navigate Jeper’s dangers—and resist Caelum, even if everything in her longs to fall into his grasp. ************ She hadn’t planned on running into Caelum tonight—not here, not like this, with her heart pounding and her carefully practiced confidence crumbling under his gaze. The cold stone corridor felt smaller as he approached, his footsteps barely making a sound, yet the weight of his presence pressed down on her, making it impossible to focus on anything else. “You seem… lost,” he murmured, a wicked smile ghosting over his lips as he closed the distance between them. His voice was a rich, silken drawl, his tone unreadable, like he knew every thought swirling in her head. She fought the urge to step back, to shield herself from the effect he had on her. Caelum wasn’t just another alien ruler to charm her way past—he was dangerously perceptive, with an intensity that twisted her stomach in ways she wasn’t used to. “What makes you think I’m lost?” she replied, trying for defiance. But he just leaned in, the faintest hint of a smirk tugging at his lips as he tilted his head. “Because the woman I’ve heard about, the one who survived Earth’s ruins by any means necessary… she doesn’t look away.” His gaze slid down her face, lingering just enough to make her throat go dry. "And she wouldn’t let a place like Jeper scare her.” She forced herself to meet his eyes, to ignore the steady pulse of heat building between them. She was supposed to be in control; that was how she’d survived. But Caelum was close enough that his breath brushed her cheek, and the way he looked at her made her wonder if maybe, just maybe, there were parts of her she hadn’t yet discovered. “Maybe Jeper’s different,” she whispered, trying to keep the trembling out of her voice. Caelum leaned in even closer, his lips brushing the shell of her ear as he murmured, “Then show me what makes you strong enough to survive it ******** This is not my cover I found it on Pinterest

My boss is my spec

Natalie Sanders is an ambitious, self-reliant woman who is not interested in love. She is totally focused on her work. She doesn't have time for romance and won't put up with conceited men's inflated egos. But when she meets Alexander Pierce, her new boss—a rich CEO with a stunning body, a captivating presence, and a cool, collected manner—everything changes. He's everything Natalie hates in a man: conceited, elusive, and wholly unreceptive to the concept of love. Love, in Alexander's neatly ordered life, has always seemed like an unneeded distraction. His family is a wealthy and influential dynasty, and they have always expected him to abide by their norms and uphold the family's prestige by selecting the perfect spouse from their upper social circles. That woman is Amelia, the secretive and aspirational executive who has long courted the respect of Alexander's family by positioning herself as a possible daughter-in-law. Amelia is also Alexander's ex-girlfriend, something Natalie is unaware of. Despite their differences and Alexander's aloof demeanor, Natalie and Alexander are brought together for a significant project that requires them to collaborate closely for extended periods of time. As they start to look past each other's outward appearances, an irresistible attraction develops gradually. Natalie finds herself falling for her employer despite her constant resistance to it. Alexander, for the first time, feels his carefully crafted barriers breaking as he battles to keep his emotions in check. But when Amelia, who has been fighting for Alexander's favor and attention, tries to meddle, things get messy. The social and class divide between Natalie and Alexander threatens to break them apart, especially as Amelia is already seen by Alexander's family as the perfect match. Since she is not from a wealthy or powerful family, Natalie must deal with the painful fact that Alexander's family would not accept her. David, Alexander's flirty cousin and a womanizer, intrigues Natalie and adds to the tension. David puts his eyes on Natalie, seeing her as another acquisition, not seeing the blossoming bond between her and Alexander. His progress leads to more problems, especially after he finds out the reality of Natalie and Alexander's connection. Angry because of the secrecy and consumed by envy, David is determined to sabotage their emerging relationship by leveraging his power within the family to create more obstacles for them. Natalie and Alexander must handle their escalating emotions for each other while dealing with family demands, David’s interference, societal influences, and Amelia's continuous efforts to sabotage their bond as tensions increase. Ultimately, they both have to choose whether they are ready to battle for their love, even though the chances are heavily against them.
