Love After A Toxic Relationship

After the Rise

Ethan may have missed the Rise, but what comes after is entirely up to him. The Surge sent a burst of radioactive energy from deep underground that blanketed the mountain city of Ascension like a fine dusting of snow, resulting in less than one percent of the city's population gaining superhuman abilities that ranged from inconvenient to catastrophically destructive, irrevocably changing the city's power dynamic overnight. After nearly a year straight of fighting throughout the city, Apex has firmly established its Protectorate Program, employing as many newly powered people as it could to bring the city under control once more. Now, the city enjoys an uneasy peace while Apex struggles to keep the balance of power from tipping again. Ethan Havoc, however, doesn't care about any of that. While working in the tunnels, he missed the Surge, and his opportunity to finally escape his small hometown, Stillrock. With the help of his best friend, Raz, he embarks on his own relentless pursuit of powers strong enough to rival his sister's. Now, after finally gaining his own powers in a tragic accident that, depending on who you ask, may have been entirely his fault, Ethan Havoc is on the brink of reaching his goal and becoming Ascension's newest Protector. It cost him every relationship he had, but nobody said purposefully altering your DNA to become a superhero would be easy. Of course, things would probably be easier if Ethan also hadn't accidentally created the newest supervillain to target Ascension in the process of gaining his own abilities, but how was he supposed to know that Slate had a murderous streak aimed directly at his own sister? Ethan has to gain control of his new abilities while fixing all the new problems he's caused if he wants a shot at becoming a Protector, but Slate isn't going to wait for him to figure out how to keep himself safe while she presses forwards with her plan to upend the power structure in Ascension. Running is always an option, but that would hardly impress the bold Apex scientist whose research holds the key to Slate's plans, and he'll need a few new friends if he wants to survive his first week in Ascension.

Love After Divorce: Her Second Chance

#DARK ROMANCE Lin Yueyao spent five years of her youth married to Shen Xiao, a man whose heart was as cold as steel. She believed that her gentleness would eventually melt his indifference, but the only thing that melted was her own dignity. Every night, she endured his cruel touch, his words like blades, and his silent disgust. But no matter how much it hurt, Yueyao clung on – for the sake of their son, Xuanxuan, and for the sliver of hope that someday he might see her. That hope shattered completely when his first love, Bai Zhi, returned from abroad. The very night Bai Zhi came back, Shen Xiao left Yueyao alone to dine with her. His gaze, once cold and dismissive, turned tender only for Bai Zhi. Then, just as Yueyao discovered she was pregnant again, Shen Xiao handed her divorce papers. Abandoned while carrying his child, betrayed by her husband, and discarded like a stain on his life, Yueyao’s world collapsed. Even their son, Xuanxuan – the little boy she’d nearly died giving birth to, the one she raised with unwavering devotion – rejected her, clinging instead to Bai Zhi with innocent adoration. But fate was crueler still. Kidnapped straight from her hospital bed by men demanding ransom, Yueyao realised no one was coming to save her. Her husband hadn’t even noticed she was missing. As she lay in that abandoned factory, trembling in pain, all illusions crumbled. She was done waiting for love from a man who treated her like dirt. This time, she would save herself. And when she returned, it wouldn’t be as the pitiful Mrs. Shen, but as a woman reborn from ashes – with a heart no longer beating for Shen Xiao. But will he realise her worth only when it’s too late?

Love after marriage (Elena)

Liam is the CEO of a giant company in London and one of the wealthiest businessmen in the United Kingdom. He has two wives; Elena, his first wife—a strong, independent, and successful woman in her field. Elena’s Company: An investment firm specializing in luxury real estate and sustainable urban projects. She owns several developments in London and Paris, known for her smart and pragmatic leadership in expanding the European market. Liam’s Company: A massive tech conglomerate focused on artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. Based in London, it is one of the largest providers of technological solutions to governments and major corporations across Europe. The Major Project that Forced Their Marriage: Project Name: Lunex Global District Concept: A huge redevelopment project transforming an old industrial area in East London into a fully integrated smart city, including financial centers, residential towers, and advanced technological facilities. It is jointly funded by Liam’s tech company and Elena’s real estate firm. Reason for Marriage: The deal was fraught with political and financial risks, and local governments required a stable long-term partnership. The two families decided the best way to secure this alliance was through the marriage of the direct heirs: Elena and Liam. The marriage was a "strategic human alliance" to ensure the project’s success and safeguard their shared interests. Elena and Liam’s marriage was never a love story but a family agreement between two influential dynasties. They married five years ago for reasons of power and influence. A month after their wedding, Liam married Maria—his longtime lover, a stunningly beautiful woman. Since then, Liam has never spent a single day with Elena. Elena lives alone in a lavish mansion in one of London’s upscale suburbs, while he resides with Maria in another estate. He never touched her, never loved her, and spoke to her only with cold business words. Their relationship is nothing more than a stiff contractual agreement. Liam’s family had a tradition that bothered Elena greatly—the monthly family dinner. Tonight was the night for the monthly dinner hosted by Liam’s parents in their grand ancestral home. After finishing her work at the company, Elena headed there. As soon as she entered the luxurious dining room, her eyes fell on the usual scene: Liam sitting next to Maria, his arm lazily draped around her waist, whispering words that made her blush, then turning a cold, unfriendly glance toward Elena. But as always, his mother and father greeted Elena warmly, as if trying to compensate for the coldness that shrouded her marriage to their son. She sat quietly in her assigned seat, lifting her head proudly, hiding everything boiling inside her beneath her composed expression.

Becoming A Real Bigshot After Abandoned

Xia Jin had been Huo Jue's secretary for five years. Not long after she started working, Huo Jue had already taken her to the bed in the CEO's lounge. In those five years, she worked diligently in the day and served him diligently in bed at night. Every morning, she would wake him up like a dutiful secretary. "Mr. Huo, it's six o'clock. It's time to get up." Every time, she would receive the man's cold and impatient reply, "Get lost." Xia Jin had never taken his car to work, nor had she eaten breakfast with him. Initially, she had dreamed of becoming Mrs. Huo, but after five years, she woke up from her dream. One day, rumors were spreading among her colleagues that Huo Jue had an appointment with Sevne's vice president in the Asia-Pacific region for dinner. He was a pervert who had once drugged and violated the secretary of the company's CEO. He was someone who even dared to pester Huo Jue's elder female cousin, but Huo Jue still insisted on letting Xia Jin accompany him to dinner. During the meal, the man openly brought Xia Jin into the private lounge, but Huo Jue did not stop him. He did not even bother looking at her. When Xia Jin escaped from the lounge on her own and ran back to Huo Jue's car, he merely commented, "You're quite capable." Xia Jin smiled calmly. "I have Mr. Huo's many years of training to thank for, but I'm hereby informing you that I want to resign. I don't want to work anymore." After she announced it, she disregarded whatever expression was on the man's face, got out of the car, and walked away with her back straight. After leaving the man, Xia Jin's life started to change. Handsome young men chased after her with all their might, and people started giving her credits that contributed to her career achievements. Her father, who she had never met before, was a billionaire—she was now someone who could have a massive inheritance with just a nod of her head. With her teeth gritted, Xia Jin instantly soared to the peak of her life. At a cocktail party—Huo Nan held his wine glass and glanced at his ex-secretary, whom he had not seen for a long time. "It seems like you still have feelings for me. How else can you explain you chasing me all the way here?" Xia Jin smiled and faceslapped him, "Mr. Huo, I don't think I invited you, right?" Huo Nan replied, "Do you have brain damage from your excessive heartbreak?" The host announced, "Next, let's welcome the new CEO of the company, Miss Xia Jin, on stage! Everyone, give her a round of applause!" Huo Nan, "???"
