A woman filled with rage and anger because of the betrayal of her one true love is indeed very dangerous. When all she could think of was revenge, karma has its funny way of rewarding those worthy with what they deserve. Sometimes not just one, but two or more blessings at once. What will Cammy do if the universe gives her not only two options to consider but three or more? Will she be able to choose which path she should take when nothing seems to be the right one? When freedom costs too much and happiness is hard to reach, will life turn Cammy into bitter from sweet? ********** Story Excerpt: "You’re fucking stunning, Cammy, and don’t let anyone make you think otherwise. Your husband’s a fool for letting you go. I’m going to show you exactly what you’ve been missing. Even if it’s just for tonight, I promise you won’t forget me. After this, I’ll be the only man in your mind," Greg said before capturing her lips in a passionate kiss. Was it wrong to accept it just because she was married, even though the man she was married to had been betraying her time and time again? Her mind let go of logic; she no longer cared if what they were doing was forbidden. She had made up her mind to surrender herself to him completely, letting him do whatever he desired with her tonight. So she whispered, “Turn off the lights…” Greg smirked, knowing the switch was just within reach, but instead of turning the lights off completely, he dimmed them to the faintest glow without removing his gaze from her. “Forgive me, Cammy. I cannot turn it off completely. I want to see your face when I take you to heaven over and over again while you are screaming my name.” Her hands traced his broad, strong chest, feeling its strength and solidity. ‘Oh God, I’m touching another man’s body!’ she shouted silently in her mind. Before her courage fully faltered, she felt Greg gripped on her wrist, as he released her lips, and whispered, “Not yet, Ms. beautiful. Let's take it slow… I want you to remember our time together as your best without any regrets. I want you to remember me as the man who made you feel important and wanted. Tonight you're the only woman in my life. The only woman my eyes see and my mind thinks of. You are mine, and mine alone. Do you understand?!” ********** A song excerpt that mirrors the emotion of the book. ***The song is not mine.*** I remember back when we were in love And we followed the fire in our hearts We moved every mountain we touched And we danced in the light of the stars I know nothing beautiful lasts But when I get to heaven I'll ask To go back to when we were in love… ********** The Author’s Completed Work: Book 1: CEO’s Contract Obsession - Contemporary Romance (CEO/Sweet Love), 2023 Book 2: The Royal Mark - Fantasy Romance (Werewolf/Fated Mates), 2023

This story is just for you, so open it and read to your heart's content. ****** Synopsis I was just a no-name photographer who was trying hard to make a living, but then I got tangled with 'them'. My life, as it was, had always been nothing but a nightmare, living a cursed life that wasn't fit to be called a life. I had no chances with love, connections, or anything. Nothing! And after drawing my last straw, trying to make a final effort that would maybe lead me somewhere other than dirt, I met them again. They - the twins - were my childhood friends whose lives I had ruined with my presence, and I was scared to ruin it a second time, so I tried to stay away from them but... They had other plans. 'When angels dream.' That was what I called the picture. The beautiful portrait was filled with serenity as that blond Italian man gazed into the distance and was showered with the soft petals of cherry blossom. The beautiful picture I had 'stolen'. Yeah, that's the word. I stole it because I didn't ask for permission first. But this is how it unfolded. At first, I took the picture without asking because I was so mesmerized by the scenery, and completely breathtaking, but then I got caught but it wasn't by the same man. They looked alike and wore the same clothes but I could tell right away that he wasn't him. Nevertheless, I apologized. "I'm deeply sorry." I said but then, the man whom I had stolen a picture from walked up behind me and said, "To think such a day would come." I turned around and blinked, looking at the man in front of me and then at the one behind me. They were identical twins. And not only that ... My heart shook... They looked like the twins I had known back then. "What's the matter?" The one in front asked with a bright smile that I was so compelled to take a picture of him and I did. He blinked at my confused expression and then burst out laughing. A sweet and cheerful laugh that made me blush. he looked really handsome. They both did, with their blonde hair which shone like gold with the suns radiation and a charming smile. I found my heart racing at the mere sight of that smile and almost forgot the situation I was in. "I see you haven't changed at all." He suddenly said, swiped my hair back and added, softly, "Hyung." My eyes widened. These two... It couldn't be... They weren't the twins, right? The twins that I knew. They... How did this happen? I just wanted a picture, that's all. ****** Thank you all for diving into this story. Note, the smut doesn't officially start right away till the later chapters but I didn't leave the readers without some sweet candies either, so along the line, there were a bunch of 'actions' between MC and the twins, huhu. His denial knew no bound but his body still won in the end, haha. Anyway, if you find waiting for updates too long, and you haven't checked out my other books, please do. There's also a threesome arc in the first one below. And it's completed too. What a score! 1) Alpha, Alpha, Beta? I transmigrated into an Omegaverse as a boy? [Completed] Check out the continuation of number one, It's the next generation, that is, their kids 2) To Byul (Omegaverse) [Ongoing ]

The Price for Loving You Nicolas Blackwood had never been the son his father wanted. In a family of powerful alphas, he was an anomaly—an omega, a stain on the legacy his father spent decades building. Weak. Useless. A mere bargaining chip to secure alliances. That was all Adrian Blackwood saw in him. But Nicolas never cared for power, nor did he crave his father’s approval. His heart belonged to something greater—freedom, dance, the thrill of losing himself in movement, and the people who truly loved him. His mother, whose warmth shielded him from his father’s cold expectations. Lachelle, the best friend who never left his side. And Lucas, the boy who once made him believe in love. But the fragile world Nicolas built shatters when his older brother, Nathaniel, is murdered. His father, the man who had barely acknowledged his existence, suddenly turns his gaze on him. And now, Nicolas has a duty to fulfill. His body, his life, his future—none of it belongs to him anymore. He is to be bound to Caleb Montgomery, the son of a powerful business family. A loveless marriage, a cage disguised as duty. His fate is sealed. Until Dominik Nikolayevich Rizzo steps into his life. The last heir of two great mafia dynasties—his Russian father and Italian mother had built an empire together, their love as dangerous as it was legendary. But love wasn’t enough to save them. On the night before his mother’s birthday, Dominik had left their estate to buy her flowers, only to return to a nightmare. His home engulfed in flames, his parents trapped inside. He had screamed for them. He had fought to reach them. But there was nothing left to save. And Adrian Blackwood had been the one who lit the match. For years, Dominik lived for one thing—revenge. He would infiltrate the Blackwood family, rip them apart from the inside, and watch as their empire crumbled beneath his feet. Killing Caleb Montgomery was just another step in his plan. Taking his place at Nicolas' side was another. But nothing could have prepared him for Nicolas himself. The omega was nothing like he expected—defiant, sharp-tongued, and entirely too beautiful. Too captivating. And in one reckless night, one moment of madness neither of them saw coming, Nicolas' heat drives him straight into Dominik's arms. He claims him. And worse—he marks him. Now, they are bound by something stronger than hatred. A connection neither of them wanted. Nicolas, trapped in the arms of the very man who destroyed his life. Dominik, bound to the omega he was meant to ruin. But the deeper Nicolas digs, the more secrets he unearths—truths his family has buried beneath blood and lies. The real reason Nathaniel was murdered. The sins his father tried to erase. And worst of all… The most dangerous man in his life—the one who led him into the darkness, the one who shattered his world— Was the same man he was falling in love with.

Lin Yue, a modern-day female medical student, accidentally time-travels to the Tang Dynasty, where she faces stark contrasts between ancient and contemporary medicine. Armed with her advanced medical knowledge, she embarks on an adventurous journey in this unfamiliar era. Upon awakening in an ancient room, Lin Yue is discovered by Li Yi, a wise and kind-hearted Tang Dynasty prince. Suspicious of her strange behavior, Li Yi interrogates her. To prove her worth, Lin Yue demonstrates her modern medical expertise, intriguing him enough to let her stay under observation in his royal manor. As Lin Yue adapts to life in the Tang Dynasty, she and Li Yi grow closer, exchanging knowledge: she teaches him modern medicine, while he instructs her in Tang customs. Their bond deepens during a perilous outing when Li Yi is injured protecting her, and Lin Yue saves his life with her medical skills. Lin Yue befriends Su Yao, a gentle and graceful woman who later becomes entangled in a court conspiracy. To rescue Su Yao, Lin Yue and Li Yi navigate dangers, relying on modern medicine to overcome crises. However, Lin Yue’s unconventional identity sparks suspicion and jealousy, leading to a plot against her. Li Yi defies the royal family to protect her, but Lin Yue is falsely accused of witchcraft and sentenced to death. In a desperate rescue attempt, Li Yi nearly sacrifices himself, but Lin Yue accidentally activates the time-travel mechanism and returns to the modern world. Back home, she is haunted by memories of Li Yi—their shared struggles, tender moments, and unbreakable bond. Fate intervenes when Lin Yue triggers the time-travel device again, reuniting her with Li Yi in the Tang Dynasty. Having endured life-and-death trials, they vow to stay together forever. Lin Yue continues to weave her modern medical legacy into the fabric of Tang history, while their love story becomes an enduring legend of courage and devotion across time. --- This translation preserves the key plot points, character dynamics, and emotional arcs while adapting the cultural nuances for an English-speaking audience.
