HATE THAT I LOVE YOU

“For years, I gave myself to him without complaint. I loved him like I’d never loved another; I worked diligently in the shadows to make him the man he is today, while he only ever regarded me as his trophy wife to his peers. I didn't mind; why? Because I loved my husband, and all I wished for was his success until I didn't anymore.” _____________ Imani Knightley thought she had found her better half in Louis Benoit. They had met during her first year at the university while she was studying for her master's. Imani would call it love at first sight, and it was beautiful. She would swear on her parents graves that her husband couldn’t live or breathe without her. They had only dated for a year before she introduced him to her parents, the Knightleys, and they got married a year later. Imani would say her marriage to Louis was perfect, except for the fact that she’d been trying for kids for a while and every time life offers a glimmer of hope, she loses said hope. Yet she was happy; her marriage was perfect until it wasn’t anymore. Her husband never gave her any reason to doubt his love for her until the arrival of Louis' new personal assistant, who conveniently happened to be his ex-girlfriend. Imani’s glass-perfect marriage and image shatter as she is faced with the betrayal and deceit of Louis Benoit. What happens when divorce isn’t an option but Imani wants out? In a circle where Imani has always felt like an outcast despite the influence of her late parents, she turns to the arch-enemy of her husband with a yearning for vengeance. "Since he chooses to go low. I am willing to reach to the depths of hell just to show him what the scorn of a woman feels like. I’ll make him take a seat and watch as I destroy everything he holds dear."

The Server's Chronicle: A Fantasy Of Faith

Senior Server Felix stood at the front of the church, his voice steady and solemn as he greeted the congregation. “Our help is in the name of the Lord,” he intoned. “Who made Heaven and Earth,” the people responded in unison, their voices matching his reverent tone. “Today, we initiate new members into this divine and holy Order,” Felix continued. “Today, we welcome new brethren into the bosom of our Lord Jesus Christ.” At the back of the church, Louis sat on one of the few single chairs, his posture slightly slouched as his focus remained on a sheet of music in his hands. The title read, "Brightest and Best – Key of A-flat." 'Why didn’t Gramps give me an F or G? A-flat is so difficult, and I only have three days to finish it,' he grumbled silently, his brow furrowing in frustration. But he dared not voice his complaints. He could already imagine his grandfather assigning him even more difficult pieces—F-sharps and endless A-flats—as punishment. From the front of the church, a serene voice called out, “Harry! Step forward!” Louis glanced up, momentarily pulled from his inner musings. His eyes landed on a girl stepping forward from the pews. She had black hair neatly styled in a bun and striking green eyes that seemed to shine with warmth and composure. Dressed in a modest brown dress and black sandals, with a rosary resting gracefully around her neck, she exuded a calm, dignified presence. Her tanned skin and graceful demeanor only added to the aura of reverence surrounding her, befitting an Altar server. 'Sigh,' Louis thought as he brushed a hand through his white hair, his blue eyes softening with a mix of admiration and envy. 'I wonder what it’s like to be an Altar server. They all seem so pure and divine… and powerful.' Just as he returned his attention to his music, a calm, gentlemanly voice spoke beside him. “You could also be an Altar server, if you’re interested.” “Huh?” Louis blurted out, snapping his head to the side. But no one was there. “What in the name of Jesus is going on here?” he muttered, glancing nervously around. “At least you know my name,” the voice replied again, seemingly amused. “What?” Louis whispered, his heart beginning to race. "I'm certain you will be a good server," the voice said, calm yet enigmatic. Louis narrowed his eyes, still searching for its source. "Who are you?" "I have many personalities. I have many names," the voice replied with an air of mystery. "It’s your choice which one you accept." "You’re not making any sense," Louis muttered, growing more unsettled. "Blessed are those who have not seen but believed…" Before Louis could respond, his vision blurred, and the world around him seemed to melt away. He jolted awake, gasping for air. His hands clutched the crumpled sheet of music, its corners bent from his restless grip. His head teetered precariously over the edge of his bed, a faint ache in his neck reminding him of the awkward position he’d been in. "Holy Mother of Jesus!" he exclaimed as he lost his balance, tumbling off the bed in a heap of blankets and scattered papers.

Stärkster Magier mit dem Lustsystem

[Warnung: Reifer Inhalt R-18] Ist der Tod das Ende oder ein neuer Anfang? Ich weiß es nicht. Aber für unseren Protagonisten war es das Letztere. Max, eine zwanzigjährige Jungfrau, wurde im Wald von einem Bären angegriffen und starb einen eher unfreiwilligen und vorzeitigen Tod. Zum Glück für ihn... war das nicht das Ende seiner Geschichte. Er wachte auf und fand sich transmigriert in einer Welt voller Magie, Wunder und... schöner Frauen wieder. Gott schien mit ihm zufrieden zu sein, denn in dieser Welt war er nicht nur der jüngste Sohn eines Adligen, sondern er erhielt auch ein System - das Lustsystem -, mit dem er der stärkste Magier werden und Höhen erreichen konnte, die noch nie jemand erreicht hatte. Alles schien erstaunlich, aber war es wahr oder nur eine Illusion? Begleite die aufregende Reise von Maxwell Garfield in dieser wunderbaren Welt, um an die Spitze aufzusteigen. ______________________________ [Dinge, die beachtet werden sollten] 1. Vom Titel her hättest du es schon ahnen müssen, aber ich kann dir sagen, dass die Geschichte mit vielen sexuellen Abenteuern gefüllt sein wird. Also... du bist herzlich eingeladen, sie zu genießen..... 2. Allerdings... erwarte nicht, dass MC mit jeder Frau, die er trifft, eine sexuelle Beziehung hat. Ich werde mich auf die Geschichte konzentrieren und 'versuchen', nicht blindlings mit Sexszenen nach links und rechts zu werfen. 3. Am wichtigsten ist, dass ich zum ersten Mal schreibe, so dass die Qualität der ersten 50 oder so kann ein wenig fehlen (Aber es wäre kein Problem für Sie, wenn ein paar kleine Fehler nicht stören Sie). 4. Es ist eine langsame Geschichte. Wenn ihr alles explosiv und schnell haben wollt, ist das vielleicht nichts für euch. Wichtiger Hinweis: Wenn euch die Geschichte gefällt, dann vergesst nicht eure GTs und Kraftsteine zu voten und wenn ihr könnt, auch ein paar GIFTS zu schicken. Diese arme Seele würde es zu schätzen wissen. Schaut euch auch meine anderen Werke an: [ Rise of the Strongest War God ] & [ My perverted devil system ] Viel Spaß beim Lesen~ ________________
