Damsel

They Killed Me Once; Now I'll Marry Their Worst Nightmare

They all believed she was dead—including herself. Until she opened her eyes in a body that looked exactly like hers, in another era of life. A body that had endured the same betrayal. The same face. The same name. The same pain. In her quest to seek justice for the girl whose body she occupied, she encountered Golden City's most powerful tycoon—Lucien Draven Vale—revered as a business god. Without ever meeting, they signed a marriage contract through his assistant. He needed a wife. She needed power. A one-year marriage with no obligations—husband or wife—they were to live as strangers under the same roof. Her goal was clear: get justice, then disappear. He only needed a wife in name; more so fulfilling family nagging But somewhere along the line, she was forced to choose between the man who would turn the world upside down for her… and her desire to leave and protect herself. Was this fate’s second chance… or a trap with a prettier disguise? This isn’t your typical damsel-in-distress, waiting for her knight in shining armor. She is fire herself—a woman who never needed saving, only needed her husband power, to do whatever she wants. This is my WSA 2025 entry.

My CEO Boss Is A Masked Internet Sensation

There were three rules to working for CEO Karsten Chevalier. First, bring his coffee brimming hot and black like a starless night. Second, park your attitude outside his office door—his broody demeanour has the room covered. Third, never say ‘No’ to whatever he demands. Not even when he asks you to become his fake girlfriend? (Synopsis) Arata's fiance dumped her through a text on the day of their engagement party. The reason? She is too curvy for his taste! He only entertained her because of her prestigious family name. "Do you think men want a fatso like you? You're nothing without your family's name!" A heartbroken Arata sets out on a journey to discover herself without revealing she is the daughter of a billionaire. She moves to another city, away from her beloved family. ‘How dare he insult me? I love my curves and I will show him.’ Arata is not a damsel; her parents have raised her strong, and now it is time to become independent. Her heart is ablaze with newfound goals. One: to see how people will treat her if she acts like an ordinary girl and hides her identity. Two: to bag a bigger fish than her stinking—joke of an ex-fiancé. She will prove that a man will genuinely love her irrespective of her curves and surname! Arata's new life begins as the secretary of Karsten Chevalier, the CEO of a multinational clothing brand who is renowned for his dashing personality and enigmatic persona. Not much is publicly known about this man. Doused in mystery, the man has his own goals and hidden agenda which will topple Arata's world. Unfortunately, Karsten's handsome face becomes a punching bag in Arata's mind because of his ruthlessly demanding personality and ego larger than Mount Everest. Arata eases her frustrations by going to meet Twisted Rider, the currently popular yet mysterious, masked internet sensation. Both tangle under the sheets and he becomes her safe space as she complains and opens up about her boss. "Will you act as my girlfriend?” Karsten's proposal to become a fake girlfriend for his family events surprised Arata! How will Arata juggle the piling demands of her boss, her own heartbreak and the seduction traps of the masked man she loves to watch in her spare time? Will sparks fly between Arata and her colder-than-Arctic ice boss? Or, will she continue to complain to the masked man that her boss probably has a small PP? This is my entry for WSA 2025, please support it with your power stones. The book is a sequel to my previous novel “The CEO of My Dreams Returned To Me.” But it can read as standalone. A special thanks to Author Hansora for the overwhelming support and encouraging me to publish this book and helping me with the book cover. Want to chat or have any questions regarding the book?

Flash Marriage: In His Eyes

WARNING!!! -Explicit and Dark Romance- For years after Livana lost her sight, she lived in the gilded cage of her family’s expectations—engaged to the man chosen for her, confined to the shadows while he managed the empire her mother left behind. But blindness didn’t make her powerless. She heard everything. The whispers in the other room. The treachery in her fiancé’s voice. The betrayal woven into every conversation with her cousin, all caught by the devices she secretly planted. She had a plan to escape—one she’d crafted meticulously. Until her sister proposed something far more dangerous. Involve the Blackwells. Their family’s most hated rivals. The ones Livana had been raised to despise. And the man her sister suggested? *Damon Blackwell.* The arrogant bastard who had tormented her since childhood. The same man she’d once—*against her better judgment*—ended up in bed with after being drugged and set up. The idea was reckless. Madness. But the thought of burning her engagement to Knox to the ground, of watching her father and stepmother’s fury as she tied herself to their enemy? Delicious. What she didn’t expect was Damon’s obsession. He was ruthless. Unhinged. Exactly what she should have anticipated from the heir to the Blackwell mafia. But Livana was no damsel. If he thought he could control her, he was wrong. She had her own games to play. And this time, she wouldn’t be the one losing.

He was the reason: The beginning

SHE WAS THE PRINCESS—BUT NEVER HIS DAMSEL IN DISTRESS. Leina Reinhardt was born into power, privilege, and prestige—the only daughter of a multi-billionaire and the beloved sister of Westdentia’s most elite men: Lester – A cold, calculating CEO with an empire at his feet. Levy – A six-time Olympic champion, untouchable and unstoppable. Liam & Louis – The twin masterminds behind the world’s most powerful gaming empire. To the world, she was the Reinhardt Princess—elegant, quiet, untouchable. But Leina Reinhardt was no fragile flower. She was raised by wolves, after all. Then came Alexander Harris Smith. Her brothers’ best friend. Her first love. Her greatest heartbreak. The boy who lit up her world—only to disappear and leave her in the dark. Now, years later, he’s back, standing in front of her like a ghost from the past. And worse? He has the audacity to question her. ------------------------------------------------------------------------‐------------------------------------------------------------------------ Excerpt: Leina's fingers curled into fists, nails biting into her palms. Every muscle in her body screamed at her to walk away. To leave him standing there like he left her all those years ago. But damn him—he had the nerve to show up now, with those same emerald eyes, as if he had any right to look at her that way. "What did you expect, Alexander?" she seethed, voice sharp as glass. "That I’d wait? That my world would freeze the moment you walked away?" His jaw clenched. She could see the storm raging behind his eyes, but she refused to care. "You left," she said, her voice breaking despite her best efforts. "You. Left. And now you think you can just come back and—" Her words died in her throat as he moved, his hands gripping her arms, pulling her close before she could stop him. "Let go," she hissed, her voice defiant—but her body betrayed her, memories clawing their way to the surface. Alexander’s grip tightened, his forehead pressing against hers, breath unsteady. "I know I don’t deserve it," he murmured, voice raw. "But hate me, curse me, hit me—just don’t tell me you forgot." Leina’s breath hitched. Her throat burned. She wanted to slap him. She wanted to scream that she didn’t care. She wanted to say that he meant nothing. But the lie wouldn't come. Because the truth was brutal. She remembered everything. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Billionaire mafia intrigue with power struggles and dark secrets Unforgettable first love turned into a dangerous obsession A fierce heroine who refuses to be a pawn A dangerously devoted hero who will burn the world for her Get ready for a story of power, betrayal, and a love that refuses to die.

Being the only daughter of the late CEO of Jiang Corporations, she was the next heiress. But wait...what? She went on to become a doctor??? Oh, to continue what her late father was not able to complete. While her cousins: "You want to become a surgeon? Go ahead. I will handle Grandfather." "Go Elder Cousin, I am always rooting for you!"

Oh, to make them understand the importance of money. ----- But what is a damsel in distress without a prince in the picture? She met him for the first time in her first year of high school while he was just one year senior. She never thought that she would also someday feel the sparks of having a first crush who would later end up being her first love.

These Babies Are Not Yours, Alpha Axton

GOING ON HIATUS MAY. WILL BE BACK JUNE. Cinder Pack? A depraved and atrocious place to be. And for ‘one of those’, a term used to describe the abandoned children on the streets, it’s nothing short of a nightmare. Lesser than crippled dogs and only slightly above rogues for being born within the pack, they survive on scraps, always covered in dirt and ignored by society. But Aurelia Night is different. Eighteen years on the street. No wolf. A pale skin. A strange set of eyes which sends shivers down the spines of everyone she comes across. She’s considered weak by everyone, yet feared for reasons no one can explain. But none of that bothers her because she has her best friend by her side. Until one night, she overhears a conversation she shouldn’t have… and is shoved off a cliff by the very friend she trusted most. But… she wakes up six months later. No name. No memory. Just two boys growing inside her. Seven years later, she returns to Cinder Pack. Her mission? Kill Axton Wolfe. The pack’s twisted and ruthless Alpha. A man who finds delight in bloodshed and has no patience for weakness. Unaware of her true identity, Axton is baffled when he finds himself drawn to the seemingly timid maid in his residence, a woman who should repulse him. The more he tells himself not to crave her, the harder he does and the more he does, the more she recoils away. That is… until she notices the resemblance between him and her sons. But one thing is certain. When kiss comes to shove and she must sink a knife into his heart, she won’t hesitate. … Lifting her chin with a single finger, he pressed the hard length of his arousal against her thigh, his voice low and lethal. “Every time I look at you, something inside me burns. And yet…” His jaw ticked. “You let other men touch you. Do you have any idea what that does to a man like me?” Forcing down the disgust swelling inside her, she exhaled sharply. “My lord, women in Cinder Pack, unless marked by a mate or sold, can let any man touch them.” He slowly brushed his thumb over her bottom lip, a sneer escaping his lungs. “You live in my territory, breathe my air, and serve under my roof. Every man who looks at you risks losing his eyes. Every man who touches you signs his death sentence. And you?” “You may forget my face, my name, even your own, but your body will always remember who it aches for. That you were never anyone else’s to begin with. That you’re mine!” … Author’s note; There will be quite a number of grim things.  Male lead is more than morally grey, twisted, obsessive and possessive. Female lead is tough, thinks on her feet, can stand up for herself, but has no wolf… so a damsel in distress.  Enemies to Lovers? Definitely.  Smut? Well, male lead is OBSESSIVE AND POSSESSIVE!  (I don’t know how long this novel will be, but definitely over 300 chapters.) With that said, welcome to Aurelia Night and Axton Wolfe’s tortured love story.

It felt so good. With my thirst quenched I decided to focus on the more prominent problem in front of me - the fact that I was bound with bronze cuffs! “What is going on?” “Hold still Miss Spencer, the nausea will pass, it's just a symptom of the horse tranquilizer you were dosed with” “I am not a horse, why would someone doze me…Abbott!” My eyes flew open and my last memory came flooding back. Abbott did this. I looked around but I couldn't see much. Then fear crept in like a thief. Where were they taking me? I tried to jump out of the open carriage door. Better broken bones than a still lifeless heart. I almost succeeded but he was faster, he grabbed me and he latched on. “Let me go!” I screamed at the top of my lungs but he didn't. “Are you hurt, Milady?” he asked me I am sorry, what? Why was he concerned about my welfare if he was going to slaughter me? “No” I answered slowly “Jumping out of a moving carriage is dangerous and…” he followed my eyes and it rested on the part of my forearm his hands were currently holding. He tilted his head to the left and exhaled. “I need your word that if I let go of you, you won’t try to jump out…” I blinked. “Are you going to kill me?” “Kill you?” he looked confused. Was my punishment something more awful than death? “Yes, kill me…slaughter me…chop off my head!” I asked loudly. “No. calm your heel, Miss Spencer…this is just a kidnapping not an execution” Book cover is not mine. if owner wants me to take it down, please contact me.

Claimed by the Billionaire:Bound by a Ruthless Bargain

Synopsis: "Marry me, or watch your world burn," Killian's voice was cold, carrying the weight of a threat that Elara couldn't escape. With her mother's health deteriorating, the mounting medical bills threatening to drown her family, and the expiration of their rent pushing them to the brink of eviction, Elara is left with no choice. The only option to save them is to marry Killian Hayes—the ruthless billionaire whose name strikes fear into anyone who crosses him. It’s a business deal, nothing more. Her world is about to be reduced to mere survival, and love isn't even a consideration. But as she steps into the cold, luxurious prison of Killian’s mansion, everything changes.

Yet, as the days pass, something unexpected begins to stir within her. Killian, the man who holds her life in his hands, is not the heartless monster she thought him to be.
