Southern Cross

Dangerous: Don't cross the line!

* At night He was rugged and untamed. That one steamy night left Grace utterly captivated. She coyly stretched out her dainty, snow-white feet, hooking them around his waist as she softly laid down her terms: For the first time, no staying overnight. The second time, the moment he got himself a significant other, she'd vanish from his side. Later on, their liaison would remain strictly on a physical level. No strings of money attached, no emotional fetters, just the most primal and unadulterated desires that flared up when night fell, entwining them like a web spun by countless spiders. And once the moment had passed, she'd straighten her skirt and turn her back on him, cold as ice. *During daytime He was the heir to a vast business empire, now impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an air of aristocratic reserve. He extended his hand to her with a polite smile, “Hello, Grace.” Grace gritted her teeth in secret dismay. She hastened to call off whatever was brewing between them, only to find herself cornered against the dressing room by the man, with no way out. In that cramped space, he was a relentless predator, and she, his irresistible quarry. His firmness pressed against her soft curves, setting every inch ablaze. Outside the door, her female colleagues were swooning over his chiseled abs. Just a thin partition away, he locked his arm around her willowy waist, seized her delicate hand, and guided it to rest on his taut abdomen, his voice dripping with a sultry allure, “Thought you could slip away? It's far too late for that.”

exiled villain

In a world spread across four majestic continents and countless nations, where power is the only currency and betrayal is a way of life, **Luka Halton**, the third son of Duke Halton of the mighty Cromwell Empire, is cast into exile. Framed by his scheming siblings for a crime he did not commit—stealing the Third Princess's jewelry and sneaking into her private chambers—Luka is stripped of his title, his wealth, and his family. His cold and power-hungry father, Duke Halton, and the calculating Emperor Adrian Cromwell banish him to a life of obscurity. But Luka is no ordinary nobleman. Trained in the art of the sword and honed by years of surviving the treacherous politics of his family, he is a man of cunning, intelligence, and unyielding ambition. With nothing but his wits and a burning desire for revenge, Luka crosses the sea to the **Central Continent**, home to the **Valkia Empire**. Penniless and alone, he wanders the land, surviving through sheer will and strategic thinking. His fortunes change when he stumbles upon the **Viscountcy of Southvale**, a crumbling noble house on the southern border of the Valkia Empire. The once-proud estate is now a shadow of its former self, ruled by **Lady Elara**, a timid and stuttering woman who is the last surviving member of her family. With only a handful of poorly trained soldiers and a land on the brink of collapse, Elara is desperate for salvation. Luka sees an opportunity. Using his charm, intelligence, and manipulative prowess, he convinces Elara to marry him, presenting himself as a loving and devoted suitor. In truth, his intentions are far darker: he seeks to use the Viscountcy as a stepping stone to rebuild his power and exact vengeance on those who wronged him. As the new lord of Southvale, Luka begins to transform the impoverished land into a thriving stronghold, employing ruthless tactics, shrewd alliances, and innovative strategies to strengthen his position. But the path to power is fraught with danger. Rival lords, jealous of his rapid rise, plot against him. The southern border is threatened by a foreign nation eager to expand its territory. Within the Valkia Empire, the imperial family is embroiled in a bitter struggle for the throne, and the calculating ** imperial senate ** grows suspicious of Luka's ambitions. As Luka navigates these challenges, he must also confront the ghosts of his past—his fractured relationship with his family, the betrayal that exiled him, and the burning desire for revenge that drives him.
