Milan Kundera

THE BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET : Her contract, His Heart

Hazel Rogers never imagined her mother’s failing heart would force her into the arms of a stranger. With hospital bills piling up and no time left, she signs a desperate contract— as a surrogate for a billionaire who she doesn’t know. Ace Milan is cold, calculated, and devastatingly powerful, a man who built his empire on control and keeps his heart locked behind a fortress. Hazel is just a transaction to him. But when a scary accident forces her to move into his home, the lines blur. He becomes cruel, unpredictable—testing her limits with sharp words and colder actions. Yet beneath his ice is something else, something broken, watching her with eyes that never quite soften. As her pregnancy progresses, Hazel stumbles upon whispers of the woman who came before her—the first surrogate. The one who vanished. No one speaks of her, and Ace refuses to explain. But the house holds secrets. Locked rooms. Late-night phone calls. Half-truths wrapped in charm. And suddenly, the child inside Hazel becomes more than a contract—it becomes a target. Torn between protecting the life growing inside her and uncovering the truth about the man she’s starting to feel dangerously drawn to, Hazel is forced to make a choice. Walk away before she ends up like the last surrogate… or risk everything to unravel the darkness Ace has spent his life hiding. One thing is clear—nothing in this arrangement is what it seems. And some secrets are buried deep for a reason.

Always Be My Baby

Samantha and Rei were high school sweethearts — two dreamers sharing the same sky. Rei wanted to build a band, write songs, and one day, perform in front of thousands. You? You had your eyes on the world — fashion runways, cameras, a life where people knew your name. You supported each other through exams, deadlines, and life’s early storms. Even in college, when everything got harder — late-night study sessions turned into rare text messages, dates became short calls, and weekends got lost in responsibilities. Still, Rei held the relationship steady, always finding time for you. He thought love was enough. Until you got that offer — a modelling opportunity in the U.S. You accepted it silently, afraid to hurt him, hoping it was better to go quietly than to make it harder with goodbyes. Three days before your flight, Rei found out. He didn't yell. He didn't beg. "If this is your dream… then go." You promised him you'd come back. *You never did.* **Years passed.** You're back in Manila — not permanently, just for a few weeks. You’re successful now, your face on billboards, runways in Milan and Seoul under your heels. Jessi, your old college friend, hands you a VIP pass to a local concert — “Trust me, you need this.” You roll your eyes. You’re not in the mood. But you go. The sky was already dark when you and Jessi arrived at the venue — a converted warehouse packed with glowing lights and pulsing energy. You hadn’t wanted to come, not really. It was just another night in Manila, just another stop before you left again. But she insisted. “Come on, it’s your favourite band. You’ll thank me later.” You didn’t even look at the ticket. You didn’t care. Until you stepped through the entrance—and froze. Because the voice pouring from the speakers? The one echoing through the crowd, raw and achingly familiar? **Add my novel to your library and read for more ^^**

Tangles

In the heart of Milan, where the sleek architecture of fashion houses pierces the sky and every street hums with power and pretense, twenty-three-year-old Sofia Mariani is just beginning to carve a place for herself. A driven and fiercely intelligent marketing intern, Sofia has clawed her way into the glittering world of Greco & Co., one of Italy’s most prestigious luxury fashion firms. Though she comes from a humble background, there is nothing small about Sofia’s dreams. She wants not only to succeed—but to rewrite the rules of success altogether. For Sofia, the office is both a battlefield and a stage. She spends her days perfecting campaigns and proving her worth in a culture that values image over integrity, charm over character. She is unafraid of the long hours, the ruthless hierarchy, or the sly glances that doubt her presence on the executive floor. What she doesn’t expect is to catch the attention of Alessandro Greco himself. Alessandro is a man shaped by legacy and loss. Cold, brilliant, and unknowable, he is the heir to the Greco empire, a man as feared as he is admired. He built his reputation on silence and precision, rarely stepping out of line, never letting anyone in. But when he notices Sofia—the intern who doesn’t flinch, doesn’t simper, doesn’t chase—his carefully controlled world begins to unravel. Their first real encounter doesn’t happen until weeks into Sofia’s internship. It’s a brief interaction, born of necessity, sharp with tension, but it leaves a mark. A glance becomes a conversation. A conversation turns into proximity. And proximity? That turns dangerous. When a late-night company gala ends with a moment of weakness—a kiss that turns into a night neither of them can forget—Sofia and Alessandro find themselves trapped in a storm neither of them saw coming. What should have been a fleeting indiscretion becomes irreversible when Sofia discovers she’s pregnant. The consequences are immediate and seismic. Rumors swirl. Allegiances shift. Alessandro, bound by duty and haunted by a past he never speaks of, proposes a solution that shocks them both: a contract. Discreet. Strategic. Temporary. They will pretend to be together for the sake of the company, the family name, and the unborn child. Love is not required. Attachment, forbidden. But as the days stretch into weeks and Sofia becomes more entwined in the fabric of Alessandro’s world, the lines begin to blur. They argue. They resist. They burn. What began as mutual indifference slowly shifts into reluctant reliance—then something much deeper. Sofia sees the man behind the empire: flawed, grieving, and deeply protective. Alessandro sees the woman behind the ambition: vulnerable, sharp, and fiercely loyal. Yet the closer they get, the more dangerous it becomes. Secrets fester beneath the glamour of their staged relationship. Alessandro’s family hides more than scandal; they hide a history that threatens to dismantle everything. Old flames return. Corporate rivals circle. And Sofia, caught between the life she imagined and the one she’s being forced into, must decide what she truly wants—and what she’s willing to risk for it. Tangles is a slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers office romance, a story woven with emotional complexity, seductive power plays, and a pregnancy that binds two unwilling hearts together. Over 120 chapters, it traces the transformation of Sofia and Alessandro’s relationship from wary strangers to passionate lovers to something far messier—and more beautiful—than either of them planned. It is about choice, consequence, and the long, winding road to real love. And the truth that sometimes, the most complicated knots are the ones that tie us to who we’re meant to become.

Sovereign of Strings

In the weakest kingdom of Arcadia on the continent of Aerion, the acting head of the Mage Guild, Darius, receives Quentin Shaw, a mysterious elder Lute Magus from the Sanctum. Appointed as the new guild master, Quentin also seeks a successor. In Lunaria, Quentin encounters Maya Leaf holding her newborn son, Evan Young. The baby is born with only eight fingers (missing pinkies). Quentin sees this as a perfect trait for cultivating the Innocent Heart Core, the supreme lute magic technique, as pinkies are unused in playing. He follows Maya to the Emerald Canopy to meet the baby’s grandfather, Yale Leaf, head of the Bamboo Sect. Old friends Quentin and Yale negotiate. Quentin proposes taking Evan as his disciple to teach lute magic. His revolutionary idea is to combine the Innocent Heart Core with Bamboo Aura, creating an unprecedented fusion (“Lute-Bamboo Unity”) to potentially surpass Amethyst rank and challenge the Sanctum’s Seven Pagodas. Yale agrees after securing promises about the Five Sovereigns (legendary lutes) and Evan’s future role as heir to both sects, provided his primary identity remains with the Bamboo Sect until success. Evan grows up in seclusion within the Emerald Canopy. He befriends a silent, enigmatic purple-haired boy named Zander, who becomes his constant companion and audience. Under Quentin’s lute melodies and Yale’s aura guidance, Evan masters the Innocent Heart Core to its ninth tier. Sixteen years later, Evan, having perfected the Innocent Heart Core, prepares to leave for the distant Milan Institute per Quentin’s plan. Accompanied by Zander, he visits the Lunaria Mage Guild for documents and his Crimson mage badge. There, they confront Rufus, an Azure Archmage leading a delegation from Poland seeking to poach mages. Evan, wielding his lute’s mesmerizing power and the deadly Sonic Edge technique taught by Quentin, stuns everyone by effortlessly defeating Rufus and his five companions. While procuring supplies in Roll City, Evan’s kindness is exploited by a street urchin who steals his Spatial Ring containing the Five Sovereigns, funds, and his institute letter. Simultaneously, Zander spots a lion-man from the Northern Wastes, causing him visible distress. Zander decides he must leave Evan temporarily to handle urgent business. He gives Evan the map to Milan, promising to find him at the institute later. Stripped of his possessions and sole companion, Evan sets out alone on the uncertain journey northward, guided only by the map.

WHICH CRYPTO RECOVERY COMPANY IS LEGIT: HIRE FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY

As an architect, every design I create is a mark of trust, trust in materials, trust in my team, and trust in the earth beneath our feet. But nothing could have readied me for the collapse I experienced when that trust was broken from within. I had laboriously built up a $400,000 Bitcoin hoard over several years, a monetary safety net for my business to weather financial tempests and fund future projects. I entrusted its defense to a long-time business partner, a man who I once considered my right arm. That trust fell apart when he betrayed me. It started subtly. I noticed minor discrepancies, delayed logins, emails not returned. Then one morning, I was locked out altogether. He was gone. The phones weren't answered, his office cleared overnight, and my heart pounded in alarm. The electronic safe haven of our hard-won savings was now a fortress without a key, hostage to a ghost. Rage and panic warred within me. I envisioned telling my employees that our future was doubtful because I had trusted the wrong person. Sleepless nights were spent searching the web for miracles. That was when, at an architectural design expo in Milan, I overheard two colleagues discussing FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY. Their stories of miraculous crypto recoveries caught my attention like a ray of light piercing a room darkened by shadows. With nothing to lose, I reached out to FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY. Their staff handled my case from the very first consultation with the same discretion and precision that I bring to my own cases. They did not handle my case like a transaction but like a delicate form that had to be painstakingly restored. Their cybersecurity experts meticulously tracked my partner's digital footprints, unraveling his complex attempt to hide his trail. Through cutting-edge blockchain tracing and legal action, they slowly dismantled his blockade. I was updated daily, step by step, like progress reports on a skyscraper rising from the earth. Fifteen tense days later, the call came. They had succeeded. The money was back in our firm's possession, intact and secure. Relief washed over me like the unveiling of a completed work of art. FUNDS RECLIAMER COMPANY not only got back money; they got back my hope. They made me realize that even when trust is lost, there are still able hands ready to rebuild. For that, I will forever be grateful. WhatsApp:+13612504110 Email: fundsreclaimercompany@zohomail.com

Mech Wars The Rise of the Hero in Exile

Against the backdrop of a vast and magnificent cosmic war, the Leray Federation and the Gacharin Empire are locked in a fierce confrontation. Tian Kaiwen, a soldier of the Federation, is a plump mechanical repairman with a rather unknown "dark history"—twenty" -one records of desertion. However, the gears of fate turned subtly, and by a stroke of coincidence, he was brought into the 7th Laboratory of the Galiparan Military Academy. In this mysterious laboratory, Tian Kaiwen quickly integrated with the researchers by virtue of his outstanding talent in mechanical repair. He was highly proficient in the repair of various damaged mechas and weapons. With his sweet talking and amiable personality, he won the affection of everyone. Milan, a researcher in the laboratory, is a twenty - year - old beauty with remarkable scientific talent. Despite her astonishing research capabilities, she is somewhat lacking in practical operation skills. She set her sights on the idle Tian Kaiwen and recruited him to participate in her research. In Milan's research room, Tian Kaiwen witnessed a transforming mecha—a great invention in the history of mechas. Its unique bio-state metal material left him greatly astonished. Meanwhile, the cruel war raged on the Milock Star. The Gacharin Empire intensified its ground offensive, and the air power of the Leray Federation was severely damaged. The connections between cities were severed, and many areas fell into enemy hands. Nevertheless, the federal soldiers resisted tenaciously, and underground resistance organizations emerged like sparks of fire. In order to reclaim the Newton Galaxy, the Federation assembled its fleet for a strong offensive. The Newton Galaxy local fleet, as the vanguard, suffered heavy losses but successfully broke through the blockade, opening up a passage for the follow-up troops. Meanwhile, in the laboratory, Tian Kaiwen made full use of the rich resources of the central computer, frantically learning various skills, from psychology to the assassin's invisibility techniques and various military tutorials. He absorbed knowledge avidly, constantly improving himself. As time went by, Professor Boswell's research on the simulated war network entered a crucial stage. Tian Kaiwen participated in it, being responsible for data calculation and the production of simulation cabins. When this simulated war network named "Real War" was completed and opened, Tian Kaiwen remained undefeated in three hundred simulated battles by virtue of the unique tactics he had accumulated during training, thus becoming the "sneaky leader" in the eyes of everyone. Later, Nia and Meiduo, who had escaped from the battlefield with Tian Kaiwen, found him. It turned out that their battlefield recorders had been taken away by the imperial army, and Tian Kaiwen's disappearance prevented them from returning to their units. After learning that the person Nia was looking for was Tian Kaiwen, Milan informed her of his whereabouts. Eventually, the front-line command post retrieved the information from Tian Kaiwen's battlefield recorder. Although his desertion records were astonishing, the large amount of data on the imperial army's weapons and mechas contained therein, as well as key information such as his setting up of a remote-controlled energy cannon outside New Rome, made everyone realize that he might be a crucial figure in turning the tide of the war. His fate thus became closely intertwined with the war situation of the Federation, and in this universe filled with flames of war and challenges, he was writing his own legendary chapter.
