Now, Mei Ting must navigate a world filled with power, wealth, and secrets. Will she be able to keep her position as the heiress of the Li family, with the Li siblings against her? Excerpt “Do you regret it?” Mei Ting asked softly, her gaze lingering on the view outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Her husband chuckled, pulling her gently into his arms. “Regret what?” “This,” she whispered, “Us. The accidental registration …” He tightened his hold around her waist, lips brushing her ear. “The only thing I regret is not finding you sooner.” Mei Ting’s heart raced as she glanced up at him, eyes wide with surprise. “You’re more than just the Li heiress, Mei,” he said, his voice low and possessive. “You’re mine.”

The first day of school doesn't go as planned. Nikko is late and he's literally running to school. He's so nervous, and the random guy that laughed at him while rushing through a crossroad, didn't add up to his mood.... *I am not an owner of the cover photo*

“I only want you, Maximus. I already told my parents that I love you and I'm going to marry you. No one else.” Aurora indignantly exclaimed. Max was shaking his head from what he heard. “No. No. You’re not being fair, Aurora.” He felt himself losing his strength as well as any chance to change her mind. Max leaned his body at the back of the single chair, almost sitting on it. He tugged on his necktie, needing some more air. His gaze fell on the ground. He’s powerless against his father. He won’t be able to protect his girlfriend from his family. He didn’t notice that Aurora was already in front of him. He just felt her palm on his cheeks, caressing it gently. He looked up to her. “You’re not fair.” He mumbled weakly. Like a defeated child. She’s rubbing her thumb against his cheeks. “The world’s not fair, Max.” Shaking her head. “It’s never fair.” She commented breathlessly. “You get everything you want.” He ignored her actions. He’d gone numb all over. This girl was too much of everything. Too selfish to even understand how he felt. “No. I don’t have your heart.” Max swatted her hand away and stood up straight. He chuckled at her response and halted. He shook his head as he looked at her straight in the eyes. “You won’t. You don’t even have one.” ************** Aurora Fontalva got everything except the heart of a certain man. She only wants Max. But how can she make him fall for her when he already had someone? He loves his girlfriend. Maximus D’Arco can’t escape his family’s wish for him to marry the only Fontalva heiress. Worse, Aurora even blackmailed him, or his girlfriend would suffer. Why would he fall for someone who doesn’t even care about his feelings? Only his girlfriend does. Is there really a thin line between love and hate? What if the thread breaks? **************** AN: Be warned!!! This is not your typical romance. As the story progresses, it tackles family, career, toxic relationships, twisted attraction, love, hate, lust, and heavy drama. There will be cases in which you can be sensitive. Lastly, this is not for the weak of heart. Please read the FOREWORD. Thank you.

I'd been waiting for this moment for so long. 'Snakes! Assemble' ....

“Do you even realize what you’re doing to me?” His voice was a deep growl, rough with restrained desire, as he pulled her against him. His breath, hot and uneven, ghosted over her skin, sending a cascade of shivers down her spine. “I… I’m sorry, Master. I only wanted to check on you…” Her voice faltered, trembling as if every word was a struggle against the storm of emotions and desires building inside her. He was so close, too close. His intoxicating scent wrapped around her, his presence overwhelming. She dared to glance up and the way his smoldering, dangerous eyes lingered on her made her knees weak. That look, raw and hungry, unleashed something within her. She wanted to give in, to let herself drown in this moment. But how could she? He was her Master. After this, how would they even face each other? Before the thought could fully form, his lips crashed against hers in a kiss that was both ravenous and commanding. Heat consumed her, his passion igniting something deep within her that she couldn’t suppress any longer. “Let me show you,” he murmured against her lips, his voice low and husky, sending vibrations through her. “What it truly means to be handled properly by your Master…” His hands roamed down to her waist, deliberate and slow, pulling her closer until their bodies melded together, every inch of her pressed firmly against him. Their breaths mingled, the heat between them intensifying. “Not the curse-driven desires you wrestle with when you’re near your adopted brothers…” he continued, his words a dangerous promise as his lips brushed the shell of her ear. His crimson eyes bore into hers, predatory and unrelenting, locking her in place. His hands slid upward, cupping her breasts with a sensual, deliberate touch that sent sparks flying through her body. “And I promise, I'll have you screaming my name untill you can't say anything else” *** Aria’s life was never her own.

I see dead people. But hey, it’s the zombie apocalypse, everyone is seeing dead people, including a blind girl. It’s not like I am that special. For a while, I thought I was going to be Cinderella, complete with the cruel stepfamily and the little mice for helpers. But instead of mice, I got demons from hell with a taste for chaos. Then again, there is nothing wrong with a little chaos in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s what makes life worth living. Unfortunately for others, they don’t quite see it that way. You see, I have a gift. One that isn’t exactly mine, but I can use it however I see fit. My gift is granting wishes. I'm a genie without a bottle, but it would be nice if people appreciated me more. All the humans ask for is the same thing… more food here, shelter there, kill these people, torture those. And I do it all, for a small price. I don’t ask for money or food, I can get that on my own. No, I want favors, souls, something that means everything for the other person. And they give it to me. Their momentary desire worth their long term happiness. But by the time they discover that, I’m long gone, already moved on to my next… client. I know I look young, starvation and abuse will do that to a girl. Humans tell me that I shouldn’t be wandering out there alone. Some try to help me… most don’t. But whoever said I was by myself? Just because others couldn’t see them didn’t mean my demons ever left. I still hear their voices in my head, whispering words of encouragement and love. For them, I’d do anything. Kill anyone. Destroy anything. After all, life is just a game, right? Those still alive at the end of the day were the lucky ones. Those who died were not. Everything is just a game of chance, all a human has to do is roll the dice. My only word of advice is to be careful what you wish for… you just might get it. My name is Hattie, welcome to my world. Would you like a cup of tea?

When Robert kills a cartel enforcer in self-defense during a prison riot, he becomes a marked man, targeted by the cartel and betrayed by his corrupt superiors. As conspiracies close in, Robert uncovers that even his warden and colleagues are players in a larger, sinister plot to silence him for good. With no one to trust and enemies lurking in every shadow, Robert must rely on his street smarts, fighting skills, and newfound abilities to survive. But in a place where justice is bought and loyalty is fleeting, will Robert's quest for redemption make him the savior of the prison—or its next victim? **"Shadows in the Bastion"** is a gripping tale of survival, betrayal, and one man's fight to expose the truth in a world where the lines between law and crime blur into darkness.

"I'm just a silly child with an unreachable dream. As a child, I always dreamed of being a Hero, but I went down the wrong path. I now look back at my foolish dream of wanting to be a Hero and saving others. Me, a Hero, what a farce. My sins can never be repented for they were too great." "Hah, don't even get me started on the story about my journey, for it's just a long and painful route to becoming a Diamond." "Power, luxury, worlds we can have all of them, but we can never fully be happy." "Diamond goddess my ass!! What is the use of becoming a powerful being if we can't even Live peacefully?" She turns to look at the child with pink hair and pink eyes. "Would you be interested in knowing who we are?" Iris asked the child. "Yes of course since I'm one too it would be good if I know," Polyra answered shyly and she twisted her hair on her fingertips. "Diamonds were supreme beings that were given to create life and destroy life, also known as world destroyers. They could pass through time and dimensions and create worlds of their own." I said as stars formed around them. "All Diamonds have a Diamond Gem in their body plus we have Diamond-shaped pupils to identify ourselves." "So then are we like cool or something," Polyra asked joyfully. Iris gave her a blank yet sad look, "I wish we were..." "All I know is throughout myself as a Diamond all I've felt was pain, but one thing that keeps me going is to find my sisters." "Diamonds are never free unless we're truly strong, but if we aren't we would be chased for the rest of our days." "What about the rest of the other Diamonds? There must be more people like us, right? Polyra asked nervously. "They're not my problem to deal with," Iris said coldly. "Then why did you save me?" Polyra asked as she stared deep into Iris's lifeless eyes. "Maybe a connection, I don't know." She responded. "Well then Iris if you won't find the rest of the other Diamonds, I will," Polyra stood up proudly. "Hahahaha, fine then have it your way." "Polyra, do you still want to be the Pink Diamond and become my follower?" she asked, stretching out her hand. "How can you also ask such a silly question Iris. You were the one who raised me and I don't care if I become a follower of the Black Diamond Goddess, because you're like a mother to me," she said softly. "Then the whole heavens would hate you dear child. For the Black Diamond shall always be the Diamond to bring calamity, chaos, and evil upon everything…." "And the Diamond war shall begin soon."

Prologue In the heart of the city, where danger simmered just beneath the surface, the Blackwood name commanded both reverence and fear. At the helm stood Damien Blackwood, a formidable mafia king known for his cold, calculating demeanor and unwavering grip on power. At thirty, he had earned a reputation as a ruthless leader, feared by enemies and allies alike. Yet beneath the hardened exterior, there simmered a darkness—an obsession that revolved around his foster sister, Amara Lane. Amara was only eighteen, a gentle soul lost in the shadows of the world around her. An introvert by nature, she often found solace in the quiet corners of the sprawling mansion, retreating into the pages of books or the comfort of her art. While she navigated the complexities of a dangerous life with resilience, the chaotic mafia world surrounding her remained a mystery. She loved her family fiercely, but the deeper, darker truths of their legacy were a distant echo, one she had yet to fully grasp. For Damien, however, Amara was everything. She was a breath of fresh air in his suffocating existence, a light that pierced the darkness of his life. He watched her with an intensity that both thrilled and terrified him, the line between brotherly love and obsession blurring with each passing day. She was blissfully unaware of the grip she had on his heart, believing their bond was simply that of siblings forged in circumstance. Yet, as the walls of their world began to close in—rival gangs scheming in the shadows and whispers of betrayal echoing through the mansion—Damien’s obsession grew more perilous. He could not bear the thought of losing her, not to the dangers that lurked outside their door or to the weight of the legacy that bound them. He would do anything to keep her close, to shield her from the horrors that surrounded them, even if it meant crossing lines he never thought he would. As the tension mounted and the stakes rose, Amara felt the world shifting around her. Confused by Damien's intensity, she struggled to understand the shifting dynamics of their relationship. With every look, every touch, she sensed something deeper lurking just beneath the surface, but the full realization of Damien’s obsession eluded her. Fostered Obsession is a haunting tale of unspoken desires and hidden truths, where love becomes a prison and loyalty is tested in the darkest of times. ---
