Catalyst Before Set Up

“They married without love… but fate had other plans.” Minya and Kevin were inseparable best friends in childhood—until one heartbreaking misunderstanding tore them apart. Minya, an orphan loved deeply by Kevin’s mother, quietly nurtured a one-sided love for Kevin… while he fell for someone else. Blinded by lies and betrayal, Kevin shattered their bond, forcing Minya to leave for a life abroad with a heart full of scars. Years later, destiny pulls them back into each other’s orbit—this time, as husband and wife. Bound by Kevin’s mother’s fragile health and final wish, the two marry without love, without closure, and without choice. On the outside, they act like the perfect couple. Behind closed doors? They’re a mess of teasing, tension, and unresolved pain—Tom and Jerry under one roof. But Kevin has a secret. He married her with a plan—to fake love and break her heart as revenge. What he didn’t expect… was her quiet kindness, her untouched innocence, and how heartbreakingly beautiful she still is. When the truth from the past finally surfaces, Kevin’s plan crumbles—and so does his heart. Now, with his family visiting and Minya planning to leave, Kevin must do the one thing he never imagined… fight to win her back. Full of slow-burn romance, bittersweet tension, cute fights, and emotional healing, Before I Forget You Again is a second-chance love story that proves—sometimes, the heart remembers what the mind wants to forget.

Before She Knew My Heart A story of silence, love, and the war to protect what was never said out loud. Aarav Varma grew up beside Ayla Sen (since 15 years) — his childhood best friend, his unspoken muse, and the girl he’s loved quietly for over 9 years. She never knew. Not when they shared late-night laughs under the stars. Not when he stood by her through every heartbreak. Not even when he watched her drift into the arms of someone else. Now in college, their bond is tested like never before — with misunderstandings, distance, and the arrival of Reyan Mehta, a charming manipulator with secrets darker than his smile.

A throne is more than just a seat—it is the embodiment of power, control, and destiny. It is a symbol of authority, conferring dominion over those who kneel before it. But a throne is never freely given; it must be earned, taken, or fought for. And in the pursuit of such power, men become monsters, kingdoms fall, and history is written in blood. There are many thrones, each tied to a different force, each carrying a different kind of power. Some rule over nations, others over realms unseen. Some are forged by divine right, others by sheer will and conquest. But one truth remains constant—no throne is ever empty for long. What happens when people desire it? Wars ignite. Betrayals are born. Bloodlines are erased. Those who reach for a throne must be willing to pay the price, for it does not grant power freely—it demands sacrifice. And yet, the hunger for power is eternal. So the question is not who will sit upon the throne. The question is—who will survive it?

Naph had a couple of years of extremes. One year, he was trying to chase down a few rats in a desert. Another he was hunting bears in a river. There was a year when he just chilled himself on a beach. His volatile heart mayhems his life. This time his hunt had a different breed entirely. Named Bulwark. Quite the bounty on such a name. The only requirement? Bring the head back clean and without damage. Hunting was a sport. At least that’s what he had learned by watching others. Every adult showing off their repertoire of the dead. His volatile nature and teen years hadn’t taught him whom to show off or not. Bulwark was his first human kill. Yet it was his first insight into what a ‘catalyst’ could do. His survival had been on his intellect earlier, but not anymore. The world responded. He ran. Ran into things he hadn’t heard. Will the world make him another number in its long list of the dead? Or will he learn its truths? Will he know of the unspoken words he hadn’t processed? His heart a volatile entity; the world a raging a beast chasing him. And a few words that he didn’t knew- yet one etched itself in: “Cata”. ---------------------------------------------------- This story is also available on RoyalRoad.com with the same title "Catalyst Cross Lesio" with the username 'alex_reads'.

*Caution* *This novel has so many smut scenes.* Leonard was just an ordinary, virgin office worker living an unremarkable life. The only thing that truly stood out about him was his absurdly high libido.

To become her envoy and spread her faith in another world, specifically in a kingdom known for its conservative society. Now, tasked with introducing a religion of passion and pleasure to a society that wants nothing to do with either, Leonard's second life began to fill with craziness, thrill, romance, and many more genres, just like soap drama. The challenges include, but are not limited to, dealing with the strict but beautiful clerics, playing hide-and-seek with the husbands of the wives he slept with, and many more. Will he succeed in his holy and horny mission? Or will he be burned at the stake before he ever gets to enjoy the fruits of his labor?
