Before My Body Is Dry

A Kiss before the Sunrise

Alex had always been driven, working tirelessly to climb the corporate ladder. Landing a job at Hamilton Corp, the most prestigious company in the city, had been the culmination of all his hard work and sleepless nights. And when he was appointed as the assistant to the company’s president, Drake Hamilton, it felt like a dream come true. Alex couldn’t believe his luck—working alongside a business legend known for his unshakable calm, sharp intellect, and a presence that commanded any room he walked into. But Drake was more than just an intimidating boss. He was an enigma, a man who somehow knew everything happening within the company, often before it even happened. There were whispers among the staff, rumors that seemed too absurd to be true, that Drake didn’t age, that he was rarely seen in the daylight, that his presence felt... different. One late night, after a particularly exhausting day, Alex decided to stop by a quiet bar downtown to unwind. As he took a seat near the back, his eyes caught sight of someone in the shadows—a familiar figure he hadn’t expected to see in a place like this. Drake Hamilton. At first, Alex assumed his boss was just having a late-night drink. But then, he noticed something that sent a chill through him. In the dim light, Drake’s head was tilted, and his mouth was near the neck of the person beside him, a pair of sharp fangs glinting in the shadows. Alex's blood ran cold. He felt his heart thunder in his chest, disbelief settling over him like a fog. He took a shaky breath, whispering to himself as reality sank in. "The president of Hamilton... is a vampire."

My boss is my spec

Natalie Sanders is an ambitious, self-reliant woman who is not interested in love. She is totally focused on her work. She doesn't have time for romance and won't put up with conceited men's inflated egos. But when she meets Alexander Pierce, her new boss—a rich CEO with a stunning body, a captivating presence, and a cool, collected manner—everything changes. He's everything Natalie hates in a man: conceited, elusive, and wholly unreceptive to the concept of love. Love, in Alexander's neatly ordered life, has always seemed like an unneeded distraction. His family is a wealthy and influential dynasty, and they have always expected him to abide by their norms and uphold the family's prestige by selecting the perfect spouse from their upper social circles. That woman is Amelia, the secretive and aspirational executive who has long courted the respect of Alexander's family by positioning herself as a possible daughter-in-law. Amelia is also Alexander's ex-girlfriend, something Natalie is unaware of. Despite their differences and Alexander's aloof demeanor, Natalie and Alexander are brought together for a significant project that requires them to collaborate closely for extended periods of time. As they start to look past each other's outward appearances, an irresistible attraction develops gradually. Natalie finds herself falling for her employer despite her constant resistance to it. Alexander, for the first time, feels his carefully crafted barriers breaking as he battles to keep his emotions in check. But when Amelia, who has been fighting for Alexander's favor and attention, tries to meddle, things get messy. The social and class divide between Natalie and Alexander threatens to break them apart, especially as Amelia is already seen by Alexander's family as the perfect match. Since she is not from a wealthy or powerful family, Natalie must deal with the painful fact that Alexander's family would not accept her. David, Alexander's flirty cousin and a womanizer, intrigues Natalie and adds to the tension. David puts his eyes on Natalie, seeing her as another acquisition, not seeing the blossoming bond between her and Alexander. His progress leads to more problems, especially after he finds out the reality of Natalie and Alexander's connection. Angry because of the secrecy and consumed by envy, David is determined to sabotage their emerging relationship by leveraging his power within the family to create more obstacles for them. Natalie and Alexander must handle their escalating emotions for each other while dealing with family demands, David’s interference, societal influences, and Amelia's continuous efforts to sabotage their bond as tensions increase. Ultimately, they both have to choose whether they are ready to battle for their love, even though the chances are heavily against them. "My Boss is My Spec" is an engaging love story that includes surprises, conflicts, and scenes of intense emotion, following the journey of two individuals from diverse backgrounds attempting to connect with each other, discovering that true love is not about control or social standing but about one's emotions.

WIMB (Who Isekai'd My Body???)

Note: (Disclaimer at end of abstract). Synopsis: "In the heart of the boundless Phantom Continent, rests a cursed region smack in the centre of all that is known, aptly named as the Central Region. A domain shrouded in perpetual gloom, despair clings to every shadow and its sole purpose seems to be crushing the souls and dreams of the unfortunate souls that take shelter upon its land. Life is a fight for Existence and Reality however cruel, is alas never what it seems to be. Whispers of precious ore, ancient artefacts and ruins of ancient civilisations only lead to ruin - factions descend to lay claim to these scraps like vultures, blades quench the thirst of the land with rivers of fire, which mirror the stars from afar that flicker in isolation with an insatiable desire. Amongst the chaotic lands, a tale starts. An adventure, a mistake, a ghost, a foreigner, a world, many worlds, alliances, betrayals, intertwined fates and dangers fraught at every corner. A protagonist that isekai's into a still living being in an earnest bid to grow stronger and a pitiful soul that longs for what was once share a mysterious bond. Destiny is calling, the line between the living and dead is blurred, the powerful shape Reality, however amongst this rollercoaster of events, the shadows vie for their own nefarious purposes, for the shadows are always watching. As if life wasn't a misery as it were, it hit Zuck Borris with the roll of a die - the odds were never in his favour. Firstly, a stranger gave him the old boot - throwing his soul out to the dogs in the streets. Then a mysterious voice started talking to him. Yet it didn't seem to be doing him any favours in reclaiming his flesh and bones. Meanwhile that backstabbing fiend didn't even notice his existence and already seemed to be bringing trouble to his body. Roland, however, was as calm as the ocean bed. Some ignorant fools seemed to be scheming against him. Ever since he answered that damn call, his life seemed to become more troublesome. However, perhaps there was some part of him that smirked at this opportunity, to gain control over his life with enough strength to face all that may come his way. Who protects this Reality, that Reality and everything in between? Can a mortal man spit upon the immortal obstacle that tightens its grasp to crush all beneath it? Can the rivers burn what they touch as the worlds collide and the sun is all but lost? Are answers always to be sought? Turn that chapter if you so dare..." Disclaimers: There will be content in this webnovel that covers potential sensitive areas to some, including - violence (fighting), abusive language (swearing / cussing), concepts of self-harm (some bullied characters may consider self-harm), divide in society (different factions/ power levels) & other similar concepts that usually apply to any cultivation/ sci-fi webnovel. Also, the start is more world-building focused, so do saddle in your seatbelts and work through the first 20 chapters to get a feel of what we have in store. :)
