[MATURE CONTENT] Abigail Snow accidentally caught her fiancé being intimate with her sister. She learned that her fiancé had only used her to advance his business and had never truly loved her.

At her lowest point, she met Sawyer, a hidden tycoon who helped her rebuild her life and seek justice against those who made her suffer. As Abigail begins to fall in love with Sawyer, his childhood sweetheart reappears, causing doubt and confusion for her. *** Excerpt: Whoever this man was, he was her savior. If he hadn’t held her hand and pulled her, she might have become dead meat and gone straight to the afterlife. "Thank you so much, good sir," Abigail said softly as she finally looked up to see him. Abigail was stunned. "But I'm not planning to commit suicide. I tripped over my own feet,” she continued, avoiding eye contact. She stared at his chest—her line of sight only reaching his sturdy chest. “It sounds better to hear that, Miss. Because I don’t want to go to the police station to become a witness, or they might wrongly accuse me as a suspect,” he said with a sarcastic tone that caused Abigail to stifle a laugh. "Sir, I’m so grateful you helped me. You are my savior. I owe you my life—" Abigail paused, taken aback by her own words. How could she make such a deep vow to this man!? This man might take advantage of her if he was a bad person. Right? "Alright, young lady, you’re supposed to release your tight embrace on me. You’re safe now." Abigail was utterly shocked to hear his words. She only realized she was still in his arms, her hands tightly wrapped around his waist, and her entire body pressed against him. They were so close—close enough to hear his loud heartbeat. She quickly took a few steps back. _____ Author Novel: 1. DAMN! I FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM (Completed) 2.

And finally... You won't be seeing any grand aspirations from the beginning. So if ur looking for a fast paced clichè novel then don't bother reading this. We have a lot of them around here...just enough to satisfy ur lower quality urge. Note: Extremely Important. Give it at least five chapters before coming to any conclusion. The first few chapters are rather slow paced. just an advice from my side if you don't hope to miss on am upcoming masterpiece. But if ur the type looking for a fast paced progression based novel. Then you can check out this progression masterpiece: Global Awakening: I Can Manipulate Destiny. But if you are willing and can wait for at least five chapters to get a ride unlike never before seen on this platform. Well then sit tight and prepared to be blown off your feets. Also for Advanced chapters!! You can all check out the chapters on Royal Road!! Thanks a lot. Oh also less I forget, update rates will be very slow. Being fifteen and in my last year of senior secondary school, I have got a lot of workload on my table. So I guess the more support I get, the better I can strive to write more chapters.

"Kidnapped sister? Check. Grumpy Guardian with abs of steel? Double Check. Forced Alliance with the Enemy?

There was once a being revered as a god in a universe with a trillion stars. How many of these stars could sustain life was unknown, but this universe no longer exists. When that universe disappeared, another took its place. It sprouted many new stars, and after a long time, life also followed. Many stars that established civilization still feel the echoes from the old universe. There was a legend that if an individual whispered a particular god's name and wished dearly, offering the most precious thing they had in return, it would grant them one wish. These wishes could be as simple as having food and shelter for a day or as outlandish as making someone fall in love with them or disappear from existence. This legend can be traced back to when sentient life forms developed ways of passing down verbal and non-verbal knowledge. The story comes in different versions, but the main message remains: one wish, one sacrifice, by one life. Strangely enough, this particular god received a series of peculiar wishes from different individuals across various stars in the new universe. Nameless god: “What is your wish?” Lucy: “To be reborn in a fantasy world with you as my father who loves me dearly until the end of my natural life.” Nameless god: ┬─┬ノ(ಠ_ಠノ) Mike: “To relive my life with you as my lovely little sister.” Nameless god: (╯°□°)╯( ┻━┻) Gabby: “Mom.” Nameless god: ┻━┻ ︵ ¯_(ᴼل͜ᴼ)_/¯ ︵ ┻━┻ Nameless god: “Who is whispering my name to these people across the universe, spreading it like a common cabbage on the roadside!? Come out, and I promise I will not do anything ungodly. Let's talk about life, hmmm!!!” Unbeknownst to this god, there was more to his myth than he knew. +++++ Schedule: 1-2 chapters per week on Saturdays UTC-4 or GMT-4 at 2000 hrs|| GMT+8 at 0800 hrs +++++ Please do leave a paragraph or chapter comment in any form before you go.
