Lance Mercer's life is painfully normal. He works IT support in a basement office where printers scream, coworkers cry over Bluetooth, and lunch is a rotating tragedy of lukewarm noodles and existential dread. He's got a dog named Dario, a cursed coffee addiction, and a daily goal of making it to 5:01 PM without committing a felony. Then he buys milk. Now he's being hunted by unmarked helicopters, cultists in cow masks, and possibly the U.S. government. Reality keeps glitching when he sneezes, his dog might be telepathic, and there's a chance he's bonded with an ancient cosmic dairy god. He just wanted cereal.

Some fires start with a spark. Others are impossible to extinguish. Elena Cruz never imagined her quiet life running a small flower shop would collide with the world of ruthless boardrooms, high-stakes deals, and luxury she only saw in magazines. But when a twist of fate—and a spilled coffee—puts her face-to-face with Damien Blackwood, the notoriously cold and commanding CEO of Blackwood Enterprises, everything changes. Used to control, power, and silence, Damien isn’t prepared for Elena’s wit, warmth, or the chaos she brings into his life. She challenges him, sees through his walls, and lights a fire in his heart he thought had long burned out. Their worlds couldn’t be more different—but passion doesn’t care about social class or rules. As attraction grows into something deeper, the line between business and emotion blurs. But when secrets from Damien’s past threaten to burn everything to the ground, Elena must decide: is love worth risking everything?

"Hey, Miss, wait!" a handsome police officer called out to me. I stopped my motorcycle and gave him a sweet smile, but his face was serious. "Hehe, yes, sir?" I said cutely. "Why aren't you wearing a helmet? Do you know how much the fine is? Oh, your name and age?" I scratched my head. I'm dead. I saw that he seemed to be writing something. "Ah, eh, Mary Lie, 24." That's all I could say. "Your family name? Wait, do you have a license?" "Bog, sir. Yes, I do." I said shyly. Of course, who wouldn't be shy when you see a cool police officer with a good physique, and their uniform is intimidating, hello! He seemed surprised by my last name, tsk. My brother put our licenses in the U-box so it would be easy to get them if needed. I immediately opened it and showed it to him. "Where are you from?" he asked again. "Just from around here, sir." After I said that, he wrote again on what looked like a receipt and immediately handed it to me when he finished. "Oh, here, go to the municipal hall and pay at the treasurer's office. If you don't pay that within seven days, we can forward it. You can go now, Miss. Next time, wear a helmet." He said it without pause. I took the receipt, and my eyes widened when I saw that the fine was 500 pesos?! Idiot! Tsk, what a bad day, that animal! I angrily got back on my motorcycle. Before I could even start, he said something that made me turn around. "Is Jerry Bog your brother?" I didn't answer him and sped off immediately to the municipal hall to pay. Wait, what does he care anyway? That police officer is so annoying, ruining my day!

Le jour où mon épouse a donné naissance à un enfant pour son ancien amoureux mourant, les parents de ma femme ont placé plusieurs gardes à l'extérieur de la salle d'accouchement. Même après la naissance, je n'ai pas semblé causer de remous. Ma belle-mère a serré la main de ma femme, expirant de soulagement. "Repose-toi, Ottilie. Nous sommes là pour s'assurer qu'il ne s'approche pas de toi." "Ton père a même des gens qui surveillent l'entrée de l'hôpital. S'il essaie d'interférer avec ton accouchement, nous alerterons les autorités !" Ottilie a faiblement acquiescé, mais elle a quand même instinctivement regardé vers l'ascenseur. Le voyant vide, elle s'est finalement détendue. Elle avait du mal à comprendre pourquoi je ne pouvais pas simplement soutenir sa décision d'aider son ex-amant à laisser un héritage. En observant le bébé qui pleurait dans les bras de l'infirmière, elle a souri avec contentement. Elle croyait que si je lui rendais visite le lendemain, elle pardonnerait nos désaccords précédents. Elle serait même prête à me laisser être le père de l'enfant. Cependant, elle ignorait que je venais de soumettre ma candidature pour rejoindre Médecins Sans Frontières. Dans une semaine, je renoncerais à ma citoyenneté et deviendrais un médecin apatride, pour ne jamais revenir.

Amidst the chaos, Leah uncovers a shocking ability to communicate with The Others, forcing her to confront the possibility that she may be more connected to the enemy than she ever imagined. With the weight of humanity’s survival on her shoulders, Leah must navigate betrayal, fear, and her own inner turmoil.
