Cafe Venus Flytrap

"Votre lit est froid," dit une voix dans la pièce qui la fit écarquiller les yeux de peur. Nerveuse, elle se retourna, déglutissant doucement en voyant une ombre sur son lit, comme si quelqu'un s'y était allongé. L'homme qui s'était allongé s'assit, émergeant des ombres où il l'attendait. "Que fais-tu ici ?" demanda-t-elle alors que ses pieds touchaient le sol et qu'il se levait pour commencer à marcher vers elle. Ses traits séduisants paraissaient plus sombres que d'habitude en raison du manque de lumière dans la pièce. "Je suis venu te voir," il inclina la tête, "Où es-tu allée ?" "Je suis sortie me promener," répondit-elle rapidement, un mensonge qu'il devina immédiatement, ce qui lui fit sourire, un sourire qui lui faisait le plus peur. Elle fit un pas en arrière lorsqu'il s'approcha d'elle. Cela ne l'empêcha pas de la coincer, et son dos heurta le mur derrière elle. Il leva la main vers son visage, et elle ferma les yeux, effrayée. Elle frissonna quand ses doigts traînèrent de sa tempe jusqu'à sa mâchoire et son cou. Ses cheveux blonds étaient lâchés. "Au milieu de la nuit ?" elle ne répondit pas, sachant qu'il pouvait décrypter ses mensonges à travers ses mots. Il se rapprocha davantage, ce qui la fit détourner le visage de lui et ses mots vibrèrent sur la peau de son cou, "Es-tu allée le voir, ma douce fille ?"

Esmeray est née dans la prestigieuse famille Alpha, les Montague. Mais après la mort prématurée de son père, sa vie devient un cauchemar d'abus aux mains de sa cruelle belle-mère et de son demi-frère, qui la tourmentent pour son absence de loup. Désespérée de trouver un salut, elle rêve d’un compagnon qui viendrait la sauver de la cruauté de sa meute. Lorsqu'il arrive enfin, ses espoirs sont brisés car il est venu uniquement pour la rejeter. Son seul lien avec l'héritage fier de sa famille est ses cheveux bleus saisissants, un legs sacré de ses ancêtres. Mais dans un geste désespéré de liberté, Esmeray coupe ses cheveux pour échapper à être vendue à un vagabond. Son action audacieuse la conduit au bord de la mort, réveillant sans le savoir un puissant loup démon, emprisonné depuis 15 longues années. Cet Alpha démon, qui a soif de vengeance et de sang, est instantanément attiré par Esmeray dès qu'il la sent, et il est déterminé à la garder à ses côtés à tout prix. Dans le monde des loups, la chasse est tout — et il a trouvé une proie qui vaut la peine d'être poursuivie.

Elle répondit d'un ton sérieux, “Absurdités ! Ne crois pas ces rumeurs. Nous sommes des gens civilisés et ne pouvons pas être aussi barbares !”

Penny a trois frères : l'un est un PDG milliardaire, le second est le plus jeune lieutenant de l'armée, et le dernier est un acteur à succès. Ces trois hommes à succès n'avaient qu'un point commun : harceler Penny, leur petite sœur qu'ils considéraient comme un fardeau. La sœur qu'ils n'avaient jamais souhaitée avoir, et celle qui prétendait être leur vraie sœur, alors que la sœur qu'ils chérissaient depuis tout ce temps était une imposture. Après avoir vécu une vie de mauvais traitements chez sa tante, des personnes de haut rang sont venues annoncer à Penny ses vraies origines. Elle pensait enfin être sauvée des griffes de sa tante, sans savoir que ce qui l'attendait était pire. À 13 ans, Penny ne souhaitait qu'une chose : que ses frères l'aiment et la traitent comme une famille, tout autant qu'ils aimaient leur fausse sœur. Elle travaillait et étudiait dix fois plus que quiconque juste pour être acceptée par eux. Dans son désespoir, elle tomba naïvement dans un piège tendu par une personne malveillante, sans savoir que ses actions entraîneraient la chute de ses frères et qu’elle finirait en prison avec une peine de mort. Le jour de son exécution, Penny n'avait qu'une pensée en tête : Si jamais elle pouvait retourner dans le passé, ses frères pourraient choyer leur fausse sœur autant qu'ils le voulaient ! Elle ne voulait plus rien avoir à faire avec eux ! Et à sa grande surprise, Penny se retrouva le jour où tout avait commencé : le jour de sa naissance. Comme promis, cette fois, elle n'essaierait pas bêtement de gagner l'amour et l'affection de ses frères. Peu importe la famille ! Elle ferait juste beaucoup d'argent, vivrait dans le luxe, et créerait sa propre famille ! Mais attendez, pourquoi maintenant qu'elle ne voulait plus rien avoir à faire avec ses frères, continuaient-ils à se mêler de ses affaires ? N'étaient-ils pas censés choyer leur fausse sœur ? Pourquoi ne la laissent-ils pas tranquille ?! Et comment se fait-il qu'elle soit mariée dans cette vie ? Pour aggraver les choses, ce mari qu'elle n'avait jamais eu dans sa première vie se portait soudainement volontaire pour être le père de ses enfants ?!

``` La culture dual n'est pas un choix ; c'est une nécessité. Après avoir été percuté par un camion comme la plupart des protagonistes chanceux (ou malchanceux), Vaan s'est retrouvé transmigré dans le corps d'un orphelin dans le monde des sorcières et des démons. Cependant, ils n'ont pas toujours existé. Les démons terrorisent le monde depuis que le Royaume de la Gehenne est descendu il y a plus de 300 ans. Mais avec eux est venu le mana, donnant naissance aux sorcières pour combattre ces démons. Depuis, le monde des hommes était dominé par les sorcières, établissant les sept royaumes de sorcières, qui protègent en première ligne de l'invasion des démons. Pour survivre dans la société matriarcale des royaumes des sorcières, Vaan, comme tous les autres hommes qui ne peuvent pas utiliser la magie, a dû apprendre à servir les sorcières pour survivre. Néanmoins, cela n'est pas venu sans ses propres avantages. Des années de recherche ont amené le monde à découvrir que l'intimité entre hommes et femmes pouvait augmenter l'absorption de mana des sorcières. Mais en même temps, les hommes pouvaient absorber une partie de ce mana pour améliorer leur physique et leur durée de vie. Ainsi, depuis, une relation complexe s'est formée entre les hommes et les sorcières dans les quartiers rouges. L'amour est devenu décontracté, et la culture dual est courante. En tant que prodige dans l'art de plaire aux femmes, Vaan a vécu paisiblement deux années depuis sa transmigration en tant qu'orphelin. Cependant, tout s'est écroulé en un instant un jour où sa vie a failli être prise et Madame Eniwse, qu'il servait, est entrée en furie. Mais cela n'était pas la fin. Avec l'éveil du Système de Chasseur de Sorcières, regardez comment Vaan prend le dessus sur le monde et devient le seigneur des sorcières. ===== Genre : [Contenu Mature] [R-18] [Smut] [Magie] [Sorcières] [Démons] [Esprits] [Dragons] [Bêtes] [Réincarnation] [Aventure] [Action] [Mystère] [Académie] [Faible-à-Fort] [MC Machiavélique] [Harem] [Système] [Serviteurs] [Esclaves] [MC Intelligent] [Alchimie] [Forge] [Malentendus] [Éléments de Jeu] [Construction de Royaume] [MC Surpuissant] ===== Note : Contient des lemons.

Standing in the Aristocratic Circle New to the Aristocratic Circle and Subjected to Bullying After crossing over, Dai Shi Ya found herself in a hostile aristocratic family. The housekeeper, Liu, treated her poorly, arranging for her to stay in the servants' quarters and providing her with servant uniforms as "daily clothes." The other servants also held prejudices against her due to her status, making life difficult for her at every turn. Faced with these difficulties, Dai Shi Ya did not choose to confront immediately but decided to take the initiative to try to integrate into the family. She began to help in the kitchen, learning various domestic skills. Although her efforts did not immediately win the recognition of everyone, she gradually won the respect of some of the servants. Shining at the Family Dinner In order to establish herself in the family, Dai Shi Ya decided to take advantage of the family dinner. She meticulously prepared for various aspects of the dinner, including venue layout and menu design. At the dinner, she encountered multiple difficulties from her cousin Dai Yue. Dai Yue first tried to prevent her from attending the dinner by soiling her dress, and then attempted to embarrass her by making her perform piano in front of everyone. However, Dai Shi Ya used her intelligence and skills to defuse the crisis and showcased her embroidery talent and "mind-reading" skills at the dinner, winning everyone's admiration and changing the attitudes of the family elders towards her. Resolving Crises and Consolidating Her Position At the birthday party of the Dai family patriarch, Dai Shi Ya once again became the focus of attention. She not only put in a lot of effort in the preparation process but also skillfully handled various unexpected situations at the party. She exposed Dai Yue's malicious acts of spreading rumors behind the scenes, causing Dai Yue to be embarrassed in front of everyone, while also gaining the recognition and support of the family elders, further consolidating her position in the Dai family. Handling Family Affairs Dai Shi Ya gained the trust of the Dai family patriarch and was asked to handle some family affairs. She took over a land project that had been abandoned for many years and, through her own efforts, resolved a series of issues in the land development process, including the breakage of the capital chain and the resettlement of residents. In the process of handling the land project, she also discovered some clues about the late wife of the Dai family patriarch, which brought her closer to the patriarch and also aroused Dai Yue's jealousy and resentment. Business Competition and the Test of Friendship Business Conspiracy and Counterattack Dai Shi Ya's rise within the family aroused the jealousy and dissatisfaction of some people, making her a target of business competition. The collateral branch of the Dai family, including Dai Qiang, spread rumors behind the scenes, trying to tarnish her reputation and undermine her position in the family. Dai Shi Ya was not knocked down by these rumors. She exposed the conspiracy of Dai Qiang and others through her intelligence and investigative skills, and successfully counterattacked them at the family meeting, maintaining her reputation and position. Friendship Crisis and Resolution Dai Shi Ya's good friend Wei Qing was implicated in her business competition. Wei Qing was threatened by Zhao Lei, forced to distance himself from Dai Shi Ya, and betrayed her in some business affairs. Dai Shi Ya did not give up on Wei Qing. She investigated the truth through her own efforts, exposed Zhao Lei's malicious acts, successfully resolved the friendship crisis with Wei Qing, and also freed Wei Qing from Zhao Lei's threat.

Valérie, la fille de l'Alpha assassiné de la Meute de la Pierre Jaune, ne pouvait jamais diriger la meute car elle avait un loup Luna. Son compagnon, Tristan, fut désigné Alpha à sa place. Après avoir assumé le titre d'Alpha, Valérie fut piégée et brutalement rejetée, non seulement par Tristan mais aussi par toute sa meute, et sa petite sœur, Scarlet, avec laquelle Tristan avait des liaisons secrètes. « Je rejette Luna Valérie comme ma compagne. Elle a été surprise au lit avec un étranger, ce qui signifie qu'elle trahirait la meute. La punition pour la trahison est la mort », annonça sans cœur l'Alpha Tristan. Les chants des membres de la meute et des Alphas visiteurs venus pour la conférence des Alphas les attirèrent vers le jugement. Personne ne s'attendait à ce que l'Alpha Denzel, dont le nom faisait dresser les poils sur leur peau en raison de sa cruauté, se rende à la conférence. Valérie trouva de l'espoir lorsqu'elle réalisa qu'Alpha Denzel était son compagnon de seconde chance, mais elle fut douloureusement rejetée une fois de plus. Le double rejet la conduisit à perdre son loup, et elle fut condamnée à mourir par tous les Alphas présents. Elle pensait que son sort était scellé lorsque l'Alpha Denzel partit et qu'un guerrier était prêt à l'exécuter. Tout le monde fut choqué lorsque soudain, l'Alpha Denzel se retourna. « Arrêtez ! La fille traîtresse d'un Alpha défunt ne doit pas être tuée. Plus de souffrances l'attendent », déclara-t-il. Le cœur de Valérie chuta lorsqu'elle vit son regard sombre, qui était comme un gouffre sans fond, alors qu'elle s'évanouissait d'épuisement. Quelques mois plus tard, une guerre éclata entre les Alphas alors qu'ils commençaient à revendiquer la Luna rejetée deux fois. Avec son loup mort, la déesse lunaire aura-t-elle la grâce de lui en donner un autre ? Et quel Alpha sera capable de faire fondre son cœur désormais glacé ?

[Statut : TERMINÉ] Dans sa vie antérieure, Adrienne Jiang avait utilisé tous les moyens pour sauver la vie de sa mère. Son père l'avait négligée après avoir épousé sa maîtresse, permettant à ce duo mère-fille de la tyranniser sans fin. Le frère aîné sur lequel elle pensait pouvoir compter lui avait donné froidement le dos et l'avait réprimandée pour ne pas avoir coupé le soutien vital de leur mère. Dans son désespoir, Adrienne a failli tomber dans le piège tendu par sa demi-sœur. Finalement, elle est entrée dans un mariage contractuel avec le frère de sa meilleure amie, Alistair Han, un homme pour qui elle avait le béguin depuis son plus jeune âge. Ce n'est qu'alors qu'elle a réalisé que cet homme était manipulateur et obsessionnel, ne voulant pas la perdre de vue. Elle avait été traitée comme un oiseau piégé dans une cage dorée. À la fin, elle a trouvé la mort trahie par son frère et tout a été perdu dans l'incendie. Après être renée, elle était déterminée à ne plus continuer à être une personne bonne à rien. Lennox Qin, le jeune maître vicieux de la famille Qin, était prêt à devenir le prochain chef de leur famille. Cependant, à cause d'un incident, il a été estropié et jugé indigne. Lorsque son chemin a croisé celui d'Adrienne, ils sont parvenus à un accord. « Je t'épouserai pour éloigner ta malchance et être ta femme pendant deux ans. En retour, permets-moi de t'utiliser pour détruire les familles Han et Jiang. » L'homme assis dans un fauteuil roulant a simplement levé un sourcil à sa déclaration. Ses lèvres se sont ensuite étirées en un sourire séduisant et il a accepté sans ciller. Cependant, lorsque le moment était presque venu, il s'est empressé de la convaincre de rester dans leur mariage. « Madame Qin mérite le meilleur. Si c'est le monde que tu désires, je te l'apporterai sur un plateau d'argent. Tu peux avoir le monde entier, mais chérie, n'oublie pas que bien que tout t'appartienne, tu m'appartiens. » Adrienne fronça les sourcils. « Mais tu ne m'aimes même pas... » Elle a tenté de raisonner, pensant que son mari avait perdu la raison. « Non, ce n'était pas le cas, mais maintenant je t'aime. En fait, tu es la seule à qui je pense ces jours-ci. » Cependant, il semblait pour elle que non seulement son mari essayait d'attirer son attention, mais sa belle-famille également.

PROLOGUE When love and command collide, what will shatter? Megara Smith, seventeen, faces a life irrevocably altered by her mother's betrayal. Not only did her mother abandon their family, but she also stole her father's fortune, leaving him bankrupt. Megara, already wary of the wealthy, finds solace only in her loyal best friend, Nathan Jones, a rare exception who chooses to attend their local community school despite his privileged background. Fate, however, has a cruel twist in store. Uriel Oman Jefferson, the arrogant and irresistibly handsome leader of the popular Zealous boy group, and heir to one of the UK's most powerful families, crosses paths with Megara. Their initial encounter at a local cafe ignites a spark of defiance in her, a spark that Uriel, accustomed to unquestioning obedience, finds infuriatingly captivating. Despite his fervent desire to forget her, destiny intervenes. Megara's academic brilliance earns her a scholarship to Royal Von High, Uriel's own exclusive domain. The unexpected reunion fuels his resentment, and he vows to expel her. But his attempts to sabotage her only draw them closer, a dangerous dance of attraction and animosity. Complicating matters is Hugo Arnold, the compassionate seventh grandson of the Arnold dynasty. He harbors a secret affection for Megara and desperately pleads with Uriel to abandon his vendetta. As Hugo forges a brotherly bond with Megara, his jealousy intensifies, threatening his friendship with Uriel. Will Hugo succumb to the bitterness brewing within him, or will he rise above his envy? This is a tale of love and betrayal, of fame and revenge, and ultimately, of the transformative power of empathy and forgiveness.

When facades crumble and desires collide, who will emerge unscathed from the chaos?

WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguard.com Website link: digitaltechguard.com The scent of freshly brewed espresso and vintage Led Zeppelin records should have been my retirement anthem. But I was hunched over a computer in my still-under-construction vinyl record cafe, screaming at a blockchain explorer as if it just ridiculed my acoustic session. My life savings, $430,000 worth of Bitcoin, carefully earned over a decade of writing alt-rock ballads for car commercials, vanished into thin air. The culprit? Some smooth "investment manager" who'd promised me "Taylor Swift-level returns" on crypto staking, then bailed faster than my band's 2008 reunion tour.  The scam was a cringe symphony.Guy had a LinkedIn profile dotted with adjectives such as "Web3 maestro" and "DeFi virtuoso," an autotuned elevator jazz playing website, and a contractual loophole big enough to drive a tour bus through. I signed over access like a groupie handing over backstage passes. Poof. Gone. Money. My café's espresso machine sat in its box, accusatorially. My spouse said I needed to "get a real job again." Even my dog gave me the side eye. Enter my drummer, Chad, a guy who had escaped a festival pyro tragedy by jumping into a kiddie pool. He texted me: "Bro, look at Digital Tech Guard Recovery. They're crypto Roadies." I pictured a group of pierced hackers in black hoodies, blowing gum and cracking firewalls. Good enough. Digitals crew followed the scambot's trail with the ferocity of a producer hunting for the perfect bassline. The crook had routed my Bitcoin through privacy coins, obscured wallets, and exchanges located in countries that I couldn't spell. Their engineers stalked his path like a creep watching a pop star's concert tour schedule, in cooperation with Interpol and a Cypriot bank used also as a hub for meme stocks. As it turns out, my "maestro" had become careless, stashing money in a wallet associated with a failed NFT venture named "Aping for Jesus." Typical. Sixteen days later, my wallet beeped. Balance returned. No taunting, only a curt email: "Scammer's assets frozen. Your money's back. Buy better speakers." I blasted "Eye of the Tiger" through the café sound system, shocking a hipster with oat milk. The espresso machine finally came online. Digital Tech Guard Recovery didn't just restore my cryptocurrency; they wrote the encore for my midlife crisis. My café exists today, littered with grail-worthy records on the walls and a tip cup emblazoned "ETH accepted." Chad's no longer on the espresso machine, but he's got free coffee for life. If your cryptocurrency is ever swindled by a cyber rockstar, don't go into existential tailspin. Call the Digitals. They'll turn your faceplant into a victory lap. Just maybe screen your "maestros" harder than your band's setlist.

Venus Bellingham is a rookie police officer from a renowned family of extremely talented police officers. But she lacks even the basic skills needed to do the job: she can't shoot a gun without missing her target; she can barely hold her own in a fight; and she always ends up landing herself in trouble. As a result, Venus' father scorns her for being a disgrace to the family. To win her father's approval, she takes on a life threatening case by herself, without telling her superiors. She goes undercover to investigate the most dangerous mafia gang, The Inferno, while pretending to work for them. But the stakes are high: risk being found out by the The Inferno, and their leader, Danté, will kill her. If she is found out for going undercover against orders, she could lose her badge, which is the only way she has to make her father proud. She makes unexpected friends along the way, including the funny and soft hearted gentleman from The Inferno, Nick, who makes it clear from the first moment he met her that he genuinely cares about her - maybe more than she realizes. Or, the stoic and mysterious Damian, also part of The Inferno, who has his frozen heart melted by Venus, bringing out the warm, soft version of himself that he hides well. And then there is the handsome and intriguing leader, Danté, who even threatens to kill her the first night that they meet.

As she uncovers the secrets of the mafia and a dark truth hidden within the police, Venus will face danger and broken trust, making her question who the real bad guys were; and where her loyalties should lie. She learns from the mafia how to become a stonger person and what it means to be seen for the person she is instead of the person she needs to be. She might be stronger than she knows... As Venus unravels the mysteries of both worlds, will the newfound strength she gains be enough to face the challenges that lie ahead? And will an enemy turn out to be the one to kindle romance in her tattered heart?

Yeon-Jun is a dedicated barista at a quaint cafe operated by Sung-Hoon Cha, the son of the man who once saved Yeon-Jun's life. He grapples with selective mutism, a condition that emerged after the traumatic experience of witnessing his parents' tragic death. Although the details of his past have faded from his memory, his body retains the imprint of those painful events. It was during this darkest chapter of his life that Sung-Hoon's father discovered him alone and heartbroken, offering him shelter and a semblance of safety. Despite never having envisioned a future as a barista, Yeon-Jun made a solemn promise to Sung-Hoon's father on his deathbed—to forever stand by his side. This vow compelled Yeon-Jun to forsake his own aspirations and instead pursue a life marked by unrelenting work and perpetual anxiety. Conversely, Woo-San Kim is the affluent CEO of K&L Entertainment, a company steeped in legacy as he belongs to an illustrious lineage of chaebols, being an eighth-generation heir poised to inherit substantial assets from his grandfather. Like Yeon-Jun, Woo-San has also faced the grief of losing both parents to illness, which has led to a strained relationship with his controlling grandfather. The elder Kim holds steadfast to his authority, adamantly refusing to relinquish the company, opting instead to orchestrate a competition among Woo-San, his half-brother, and his cousin for the right to inherit the family fortune. Throughout his childhood, Woo-San has been accompanied by Hee-Jun Go, a devoted friend and secretary who was rescued by Woo-San's father. Hee-Jun, having been separated from his own family at a young age, appreciates the depth of loyalty and friendship. In a heartfelt gesture, Woo-San offers to help Hee-Jun locate his long-lost brother, during which he finds himself inexplicably drawn to Yeon-Jun at the café, captivated by the quiet strength and resilience hidden beneath Yeon-Jun's struggles. However, when Woo-San’s grandfather learns of his burgeoning feelings for Yeon-Jun, he delivers a menacing ultimatum: marry someone of his grandfather's choosing or face disinheritance. Feeling cornered with little left to lose, Woo-San contemplates capitulating to the marriage arrangement, all the while suspecting that his grandfather is orchestrating a more sinister plot that preys on Woo-San's unresolved trauma, compelling him to wrestle for his inheritance. As tensions rise within this power dynamic, Woo-San feels an undeniable connection to Yeon-Jun, yet finds that Yeon-Jun’s condition renders him unable to express his own feelings. Desperate to flee the confines of the forced marriage, Woo-San resolves to turn his grandfather's manipulative tactics against him. In this quest for autonomy, he uncovers unsettling truths that extend far beyond his own life, jeopardizing not only his future but also deeply affecting Hee-Jun, Sung-Hoon, and even his grandfather himself. Faced with this newfound knowledge—one he wishes he could unlearn—Woo-San must grapple with difficult decisions. Will he risk exposing his own vulnerabilities to protect Yeon-Jun? Will he succumb to his grandfather’s wishes to secure his inheritance, or will he forge a path driven by empathy and commitment to those who have become family to him? The weight of these revelations threatens to alter the course of their lives forever.

"Patriarch Sun, your sect is now a well - known Sword Sect in the cultivation world of the Northern Region. How do you evaluate Dean Xu?" "I often tell experts that Dean Xu is my idol. When others were hunting him down, he instead tried to make friends and forge partnerships. The disciples he trained were sold to other sects once they reached the Foundation Establishment stage. Now, his disciples are everywhere, and he has a vast network of people." "Then, how do the senior figures of the Demonic Path here view Dean Xu? He has been hiding his identity and mingling in the Demonic Path for several..." "Reporter, stop talking nonsense! Our sect master is the most famous demon in the Southern Border. The person you mentioned has nothing to do with him!" "All right, all right. Then, I'd like to ask Acting Patriarch Qin. As the largest sect in Xize, the Illusory Sea Sect. Dean Xu is secretly in control behind the scenes and has carried out financial frauds, involving countless sects. Now, the creditors are protesting outside our venue. How do you respond?" "This is ridiculous. Our sect master doesn't even have the surname Xu. Besides, we have no creditors at all. The creditors all died in the scramble for the ancient cultivation inheritance. Those people outside are just rival sects trying to cause trouble for us on purpose." "But according to our investigation, the ancient cultivation inheritance is a new grave built by Dean Xu, and not everyone inside was killed by the explosion..." "I'm warning you! This is blatant slander!" "Let's put this question aside for now. So, how do the demon tribes in the Eastern Wasteland view him?"
