"Do you want this?" He asked against my lips. I nodded and slid my hands under his shirt. I ran my

hands up his muscled back, then over to his chest. I hummed as I gently moved my hands to his

shoulders and down his stomach to the top of his jeans.

"I never stopped wanting you." I wispered.

"Since you want to save your parents, what do you propose in return?" the dark-haired man asked, maliciously.

"I'll do whatever it takes," she replied, her voice trembling, watching her parents' eyes bulge with worry.

"Are you willing to do anything?" He asked before continuing. "Your wish is my command, princess. You're coming with me."

My mate.

So weak.

So pathetic.

I have a weak and pathetic mate. He thought as he looked at her with disgust and displeasure in his eyes.

Just like me, when I was human. She is a human! I don't want a mate. I don't want a weak and pathetic mate! She can't fix me! She's nothing! Screw this!

His thoughts were going berserk with the rushing flashes of his past. He tucked his hand roughly through his hair in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the replay of those horrible evocations. He laid her on the small grass patch at the side of the deserted road. She was half-conscious, so she could hear him.

"Hey!" He said, jerking her pale face gently. Blood was covering half of her face but she was still looking beautiful in the moonlight. The sparks weren't going unnoticed as he reminded himself that it was just the mate-bond. He was determined in his decision and he wasn't going to change it. The girl opened her eyes slightly and with that, he did what he thought was right at that time.

"I, Kane Wilson, reject you as my mate!" He said, with all the strength he could have mustered in his miserable state of emotions and with that, he left her there, feeling extreme pain in his heart. But he pushed that pain aside and ran from there at his maximum inhuman speed. Away from her!

What happens when you expect something else but later find out that, what you have hated all your life is what you will get?
That's the situation in which Chris finds himself as his mate turns out to be a human and he hates her instantly and makes her life miserable.

Lucy opened her eyes and saw a clean room filled with the smell of disinfectant water. Only then did she remember that she had just donated a kidney to her younger sister. The anesthetic has only just worn off.

Just then, the door of the ward opened and a slender man walked in.

When Lucy saw the man, an excited smile appeared on her pale face.

"Smith, you came to see me..."

Lucy's tone was weak, but tried to make every word clear.

She stretched out her hand somewhat hard, wanting to get Smith Lu's response.

But what she could never have imagined was the bad news that followed...

"Lucy, did you know that your family is bankrupt?" Smith indifferently ignored Lucy's outstretched hand, and walked to sit on the sofa by the window.

"What are you talking about? It's impossible, my family has been going well before, and nothing bad has happened recently. How is that possible? Smith, you have to save my family..."

Lucy was so worried that she even could not breathe. And when she asked for help, Smith just watched indifferently.

Gradually, Lucy noticed something, tried to calm herself down, and sat up slightly to look at Smith.

"I have helped you to acquire your family's company, and your property transfer letter has been notarized. I never thought you would love me this much that you're willing to give up all your possessions, but I am here to divorce you today."

Divorce?

Property transfer letter?

Was that prenuptial agreement actually a property transfer letter?

But she didn't know anything about it.

Although they had been married for just a few months, not even six months.

Even Smith almost never came home, she still cleaned the house every day, made his favorite meals and waited for him to come home.

Now she had just gone through surgery and he didn't say a word of concern or a greeting to her.

He only set foot in her ward to get a divorce...

But Cillian crosses mountains to find her.

In the dim room of a small-town inn, he corners her, his eyes red as he pulls her hard into his arms.

“Can you really bear to abandon me again?”

Six years ago, Gina was forced to leave Eason after an accident even when he was seriously injured. Six years later, she went back with a kid, and became a doctor.
“Off the shirt.” Doctor Gina said to her patient. But he said, “As my doctor, you do this for me.”
“Sorry, but it’s not a doctor’s duty.” She refused.
“Then as my woman, you know what to do.” He insisted.
“Just ex-girlfriend.” She retorted.
After the checkup, she intentionally warned him, “bad news, you’d better suppress your passion for a few days.”
However, he pressed her against the desk, smiled, “Or what?”
...
The next morning, Gina’s kid found him, and asked him, “Uncle Lu, will you take care of my mom from now on?”

Torn between power and vulnerability, loyalty and betrayal, she navigates a fragile existence in the spotlight of a world eager to either worship or destroy her.

But when her carefully crafted peace unravels, and forgotten enemies resurface, Naya finds herself at the center of a storm that threatens everything she holds dear. Alongside unlikely allies and dangerous rivals, she must confront the tangled threads of her past to protect the fragile present—and perhaps, to claim the future she never thought she deserved.

With betrayal lurking in the shadows, love bleeding through the cracks, and the truth dangling like a thread waiting to be cut, Bleeding Love takes readers on a journey of resilience, sacrifice, and redemption.

Will Naya’s voice rise above the noise, or will her silence be her undoing?

His friends all think I'm his girlfriend, but in reality, I'm his half-sister!
He threatens me, insisting I never mention this to anyone outside.
I never imagined I would develop feelings for him. It's a forbidden love, a secret that can't be spoken...

"Don't wear a white colour dress and please don't let your hair open. I would appreciate it if you never use this pink shade lipstick" he said in a full serious yet husky tone that surely gives chillness to her spine. She never gets intimidated by anyone like this. Who the hell he is?

She battled her eyes and looked to meet his brownies. She took the courage to ask him "why?" He smirked at her flustered face and bends to her height. She took steps back and hits the wall behind.

"Because. I can't stop myself from kissing you" he said while the train just went away along with Clara who stood there paralyzed hearing Alex's words. Did he just propose to her?



Clara looked at the frame which they clicked before. A lone tear escaped her eyes. Will she be able to forget everything and move on?

Alex regretted the moment he fell for that girl. He doesn't want to remember anything related to her. But is it even easy?

Both looked at the stars and wished to forget everything,

What happens when one kiss turns your world upside down? That one simple kiss makes your life into something unexpected.

But little did he know that,

one kiss changes it all.

She once believed in fairytales. Life taught her otherwise. Heartbreak had become Emily’s constant companion, convincing her that true love was nothing more than a fantasy.

But fate had other plans. Her path was about to cross with Jason Russo, a man who would change everything. Their story was written in the stars, destined to unfold in ways Emily could never imagine.

I SILENTLY stared at the emptiness. I could see from the veranda the lights in the neighborhood. I gasped. How I wish I could be one of them --- an ordinary person who is free to live as normal.

I am KEINTH LUCAS HARRISON, from the best clan in the town of Sta. Monica. I have no friends, and I used to be alone since then. But I'd rather be like this, than let other people know my secret, or should I say .. My family's SECRET.

I'm Elena. My mother died when I was 10. After that, my dad married my mom's friend, who was his secretary too.

And now I'm lying on her son's arm. I never thought he would do it with me. Paul was on me while I was staring out the window of the car. He was quietly sleeping. I was stroking his hair and singing a poem that Mom had previously recited. Suddenly, the surroundings lit up slowly. So it'll be dawn soon. I put my voice down. He was still clutching me tightly in his sleep. I attempted to loosen his grip.

Ahh! In anguish, I closed my eyes. My lower back and lower body were in excruciating pain. I gently rested his head on the seat and smiled at him. I softly called his name, "Paul." "You know how much I love you," I added. "But now it's irrelevant to me," I said as I stroked his hair. "Are you sure you love me?" "Then you gave me the ability to hurt you, too." I kissed him on the lips as I said this. I got out of the car after giving him my farewell kiss. I didn't feel any pain. The stain on my back was already turned to black and crimson. I made my way to my room. It's already light outside.

Renee didn’t just rebuild her life; she buried pieces of it and called it survival. A farm that runs like a machine, a house full of laughter, a man who stepped in and never once questioned loving a child that wasn’t his. Jake gave her stability, peace, and a future that felt earned rather than stolen. And she let herself believe that if she loved hard enough, the truth would stay exactly where she left it.

But secrets don’t disappear; they settle in your bones. They show up in the quiet moments, in the way she watches Jake with Mark, in the hesitation she swallows every time he says the word “son.” She didn’t lie because she wanted to hurt anyone; she lied because the truth would’ve shattered everything before it ever had a chance to grow. So she chose silence, and built a life on top of it, knowing damn well it wasn’t as solid as it looked.

Then the past refuses to stay dead. One unexpected moment, one undeniable truth staring her in the face, and suddenly the life she protected starts to feel like something she stole. Because this was never just about love, it was about control, fear, and a decision that changed more than one life without giving anyone else a choice. And now the man she erased is standing right in front of her, looking at a child who should’ve been his.

This isn’t a story about a woman caught between two men. It’s about what happens when you build something beautiful on a lie and dare to call it right. Because when the truth finally breaks through, it doesn’t ask who deserves happiness. It takes it, piece by piece, until there’s nothing left but the consequences she tried so hard to outrun.

"You're the one who deserves to die, you bitch!"

I couldn't control myself anymore. I slapped Olivia across the face—hard. She had forced her sapphire necklace into my bag, then accused me of stealing it to pay for my dying dog's surgery. "You and that pathetic dog of yours—you both deserve to die," she whispered in my ear, her voice dripping with venom.

Before I could strike her again, a brutal force slammed into my stomach. Ethan kicked me. I crashed to the floor, gasping for air. "You're beyond saving," he spat, looking at me like I was garbage. He scooped Olivia into his arms, checking her face with infinite tenderness.

I lay on the cold hospital floor, gaunt and skeletal from late-stage leukemia, bleeding from my nose. My husband was cradling the woman who framed me, while my dog lay dead in the next room. "Stay home and think about what you've done," he commanded. He didn't know I would never go home again.

She once believed she was the happiest woman in the world.
Her husband was gentle and wealthy, attentive to her every need, always treating her like she was precious and irreplaceable.
Then she came home early, wanting to surprise him.
The bedroom door was slightly ajar. From inside came a woman's soft, breathless voice:
"I'm carrying your child. When are you going to divorce her?"
In that moment, her entire world collapsed.
What made it even more cruel was that on that very same day, she found out she was pregnant too.
The child she had waited five years for finally came — on the exact day she decided to leave.
She slipped off her wedding ring without a word. No confrontation. No tears. No begging for an explanation.
She walked away from the lie she had called a marriage and chose to rebuild her life on her own terms. She was done being a kept woman, caged and pampered and disposable.
She would take back everything she had once given up, with her own two hands.
It was only later that her husband finally understood what he had done. He had lost her.
He began showing up wherever she was, humbling himself, careful and desperate, asking her to come back.
But this time, she was already gone.
And she wasn't coming back.

In prison, Albert was fortunate enough to receive assistance from six female teachers. After being released at the age of 18, he returned home.
Because he was poisoned, he needed to marry a woman with a special constitution.
Facing his childhood sweetheart who came to terminate their engagement, Albert immediately severed ties with her.
Facing the family of Luna who took care of him, Albert did his utmost to protect them
"Albert, I want to marry my daughter to you."
Luna said.

When my best friend Katie fell for a bratva underboss Ivan, I swore I would never get involved with such dangerous men. But one day, I realized my contracted husband Albert, who supposedly married me for a green card, turned out to be Ivan's Bratva boss...

I made a deal with Declan Moss at prom and I told myself it was strategy.

He needed a girlfriend. I needed an ex-boyfriend to finally notice I had moved on. Clean terms, mutual exit. I was good at arrangements. I had been making myself useful to people who didn't deserve it for years.

What I was not prepared for was him. Not the version he performs... the armor, the silence, the carefully managed distance. The real one. The one who hands you an essay he never meant for anyone to read and watches your face while you do it. The one carrying a sick sister, two jobs, and a scholarship that stands between his family and a number too big to say out loud. The one who has been holding everything together so long he has forgotten that holding everything is not the same as being okay.

People are trying to destroy him. Quietly. Patiently. From the inside out.

And somewhere between session four and the worst week of his life, I stopped being the girl on his paperwork and became the person he called first.
The arrangement had rules. I had an exit strategy. I was supposed to walk away clean.

Then he said my name in a parking lot like it meant everything he hadn't found the words for yet. And I understood that I had not been performing for weeks.

When sunny California girl Avery Kane is uprooted to icy Evergreen, Minnesota, for her dad’s new job as head coach of the junior hockey team, she braces for frostbite and culture shock—not a heart-racing collision with team captain Knox Callahan. From a near-fatal rogue puck to stolen hot chocolates, flirty texts, and bonfire sparks, Avery’s guarded world thaws fast around the charming, mint-gum-scented hockey star who calls her “strategically adorable.”

But Evergreen’s tight-knit world comes with sharp edges. Sophia Reyes, poised team manager and Knox’s on-again-off-again ex, isn’t the only threat. Enter Riley Voss, the venomous queen bee of Evergreen High—captain of the cheer squad, daughter of the town’s biggest booster, and fiercely territorial over “her” hockey boys. Riley sees Avery as an outsider invading her carefully curated kingdom and wastes no time unleashing petty sabotage: locker-room rumors, iced-out group chats, and a public humiliation at the next game that leaves Avery questioning everything.

As Knox’s family crisis pulls him away and Sophia circles closer, Avery must navigate jealousy, small-town politics, and Riley’s escalating cruelty. In a town where hockey is religion and love is a brutal game, one wrong move could send her crashing.

This story is a dark psychological thriller wrapped inside a family drama. It follows the Chambers family, a wealthy but fractured dynasty, whose perfect image is shattered when their longtime butler is found murdered during Ethan Chambers’ engagement party. The murder weapon — Ethan’s favorite pen — points directly at him, and though his influence and family name delay immediate consequences, suspicion lingers like a shadow.

At the heart of the chaos is Adelyn, Ethan’s radiant fiancée, whose charm and beauty draw people in with ease. She is magnetic, enigmatic, and calculating — and quickly notices the vulnerability of Ethan’s younger brother, Lucas. Unlike Ethan, who is admired and envied, Lucas lives in his shadow, bitter and insecure. Adelyn subtly begins to exploit those insecurities, offering comfort while planting seeds of doubt about his brother, his parents, and even himself.

As the investigation unfolds, the Chambers are forced into close quarters, their public façade collapsing under private turmoil. Margaret, the image-obsessed matriarch, suspects Ethan’s temper, while Lucas is slowly entangled in Adelyn’s quiet manipulations. Every interaction blurs the line between truth and perception, until no one — not even Ethan — is certain of what really happened.

The story is an exploration of jealousy, control, and deception, showing how a single charismatic force can unravel a family already teetering on fracture. It blends gothic intrigue with modern psychological suspense, building toward inevitable betrayal, shocking twists, and a cliffhanger that leaves the reader questioning how much of the Chambers’ downfall was fate — and how much was Adelyn’s design
