Love after marriage (Elena)

Liam is the CEO of a giant company in London and one of the wealthiest businessmen in the United Kingdom. He has two wives; Elena, his first wife—a strong, independent, and successful woman in her field. Elena’s Company: An investment firm specializing in luxury real estate and sustainable urban projects. She owns several developments in London and Paris, known for her smart and pragmatic leadership in expanding the European market. Liam’s Company: A massive tech conglomerate focused on artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. Based in London, it is one of the largest providers of technological solutions to governments and major corporations across Europe. The Major Project that Forced Their Marriage: Project Name: Lunex Global District Concept: A huge redevelopment project transforming an old industrial area in East London into a fully integrated smart city, including financial centers, residential towers, and advanced technological facilities. It is jointly funded by Liam’s tech company and Elena’s real estate firm. Reason for Marriage: The deal was fraught with political and financial risks, and local governments required a stable long-term partnership. The two families decided the best way to secure this alliance was through the marriage of the direct heirs: Elena and Liam. The marriage was a "strategic human alliance" to ensure the project’s success and safeguard their shared interests. Elena and Liam’s marriage was never a love story but a family agreement between two influential dynasties. They married five years ago for reasons of power and influence. A month after their wedding, Liam married Maria—his longtime lover, a stunningly beautiful woman. Since then, Liam has never spent a single day with Elena. Elena lives alone in a lavish mansion in one of London’s upscale suburbs, while he resides with Maria in another estate. He never touched her, never loved her, and spoke to her only with cold business words. Their relationship is nothing more than a stiff contractual agreement. Liam’s family had a tradition that bothered Elena greatly—the monthly family dinner. Tonight was the night for the monthly dinner hosted by Liam’s parents in their grand ancestral home. After finishing her work at the company, Elena headed there. As soon as she entered the luxurious dining room, her eyes fell on the usual scene: Liam sitting next to Maria, his arm lazily draped around her waist, whispering words that made her blush, then turning a cold, unfriendly glance toward Elena. But as always, his mother and father greeted Elena warmly, as if trying to compensate for the coldness that shrouded her marriage to their son. She sat quietly in her assigned seat, lifting her head proudly, hiding everything boiling inside her beneath her composed expression.

SOULLESS: The Path To Madness

In an ever night world where the moon bleeds and the sun is a myth, survival is a language only fools dare speak. The world has rusted shut—forgotten by its creators, bound in silence, and broken into five massive islands nestled among the dying branches of a colossal, ancient tree. Each layer reaches higher into the void, while the roots rot below. These final sanctuaries hang between oblivion and decay, suspended above a realm bathed in endless twilight, where bioluminescent fungi pulse like haunted stars and twisted animals glow with ancient, unnatural light. Life has adapted—but not kindly. Ky'ren never asked to be a survivor. But when a breach ravages the lower islands—ushered in by a scream that splits the soul—he is forced into the ranks of the Scouters: those cursed to venture into the poisoned dark, gathering supplies by the blood-red moon and hiding when it shines blue. Then he finds it. One of the Seven Forgotten Scriptures—relics older than the branches themselves, said to grant liberation… but only for a fleeting window. The scripture has spoken before—and when it does, it changes everything. With a crew stitched together by fear and desperation, Ky'ren must brave crumbling ruins, uncharted dungeons, broken lands that don’t exist on any maps and a world that twists reality itself. The countdown to salvation has begun. But the deeper they go, the more they realize: the world itself is hiding something—protecting truths too heavy to remember. And in a place where fools are preachers, corruption wears a saint’s robes, and even memories cannot be trusted, the greatest threat may not be the darkness outside—but what lies within. Can humanity awaken in a world that never sleeps? Or will the truth consume what little soul they have left?

Gift: Book One The Prelude

Two thousand one hundred and twenty years after the Divine War—Armageddon—angels and demons have clashed, the Devil lies imprisoned, and humanity finally learned to live in harmony. Yet the ancient prophecies warned: after a millennium, darkness would return. Now, as demonic forces rise again, the Supreme Being bestows upon chosen humans “Gifts”—mystical powers fueled by spiritual energy—to tip the balance between light and shadow. Nal Handock is a sixteen-year-old high schooler from Orlas’ snowy highlands who never expected to become one of those chosen. A haunting vision of his missing father drives him into the heart of a clandestine organization responsible for regulating Gifts and hunting those who misuse them. Joined by Lysha Holt—his enigmatic classmate whose own Gift pulses with hidden strength—and the mysterious newcomer Kayishi Brooks, Nal embarks on a harrowing quest: protect the world’s seven Lumlands from Gifts twisted by demonic corruption. From the winter in Hellen to the bustling capital of Lob-Chen in Orlas, they will confront angels and demons, sorcerers and djinns, and face trials that test the very core of their souls. But not all Gifts are alike. Beneath the Celestes’ watchful gaze, six legendary Celestial Gifts—Persuasion, Copy, Harmony, Will, Resurrection, and Pandora—hold the key to restoring balance. Beyond these lie the Neo-Gifts, unpredictable powers that evade priestly control, and elemental crystals forged to shield humans without Gifts. When loyalties blur and ancient forces stir, Nal must decide whether to uphold the fragile peace or risk plunging the world back into chaos. Gift: Volume 1—The Prelude is a fast-paced, strategic fantasy adventure where laughter, danger, and unbreakable bonds collide—and where one spark of faith can ignite the greatest power.
