Shadows rise, loyalties crack, and the throne's verdict has yet to be written.

Will light hold firm, or will Ironvale be claimed by the silence between heartbeats?

"No, they tried...but I didn't...let them." She whimpered, lolling her head back as his fingers met her bare skin.
"Why not, baby? Why am I allowed to touch you like this?"
"Because you're my Alpha."

In the neon-drenched streets of Seoul, reality hides a hidden layer. The ultra-rich live in luxury high-rises and gated Cheongdam/Gangnam estates with "Static" comfort — private drivers, endless deliveries, and lives untouched by hardship.

Minjun, a low-tier scrapper and street hustler in the shadows of Guryong Village (a shantytown squeezed between Gangnam’s gleaming towers), barely survives by salvaging electronics, scrap metal, and discarded tech from construction sites and flooded alleys near the Han River. One night, during a fatal fall while scavenging, his consciousness glitches. Instead of dying, he awakens with a fractured interface and forbidden [Administrator Rights].

Unlike ordinary people trapped in the system of apps, credit scores, and surveillance, Minjun can now see the world’s hidden code. He can [CUT]friction from a scooter tire, [COPY] the speed of a delivery rider, or [PASTE] the weight of exhaustion onto a corrupt enforcer. But every edit burns his stamina and humanity — erasing memories, emotions, and pieces of who he was. To fix a broken city ruled by untouchable elites, Minjun must climb the social ladder and confront Chairman Seojun Kang, the powerful figure at the heart of the hidden System. The cost of liberation is his own soul, one command at a time

Hugly is simple. A nice guy. Foreign, uneducated and shy, he gets along with children, rabbits and rats much better than with the sophisticated who tinker with society through their agents. The enemies may be educated, wealthy and powerful, and even seductive and vicious, but Hugly’s got more than a few tricks up his sleeve. He’s got friends in high and low places that never lose sight of him. His sometimes deluded and skeptical friends may think he’s there to help them, but they’ve got it all wrong. All wrong. When faced with evil in its many forms, it’s often best to just run away. But Hugly knows too, that it’s often best to stand firm, and at other times it’s best to run as fast as you can, right into the fire. Especially if saving others. When whole armies and all civilization needs saving, God chooses to send his best; six inch tall men who slay dragons, giants and prosperity preachers.

Even in the deepest part of hell, And when I find you, you get punished according to how long you were away from me, understand?"

His tone was so soft and gentle it could have fooled anybody but not her. She could see through him, and She trembled under his touch.

"Y-yes, maestro"

ALESSANDRA

Having these last names makes us enemies.
Both united to the East Coast, but intimidated by so many years of vendetta.
It seems that destiny does not want to see us together.
That was until I received a calling that plunged me deeper into the life of sin.
I was a Zanetti. A woman. A piece in this world of controlling men.
I was front and center on the board of an arranged marriage.
Then I saw it. A battered heart and eyes that denoted a body without a soul. The most beautiful devil I had ever seen.
This devil was very presentable, suit, tie and a distinct elegance.

But when you're a Zanetti, you can't be a piece if you're a part of sin.

MASSIMO

I just started a war.
There is no turning back now. Princess Zanetti.
A decision made out of hate.
It's my turn to have something from the Zanettis.
I don't care if they promised her to someone else.
I am the one who moves the pieces in this game.

I didn't know it, but she is my biggest opponent.

"You are so daring; do you know that? What will I do with you?" He asked, gazing into her sparkling, beautiful eyes.

"Permit me to love you, Andy. That's all I want." She answered with so much boldness and honesty that it almost made his stone heart melt.

But who could ever melt his stone heart?

Two extremely different people were brought together by unavoidable circumstances, or perhaps fate. Call it whatever you want.
When their worlds collide, their goals get compromised by their undeniable burning desires for each other, and this fire melts down their fears, worries, and beliefs in a blink of an eye.

An insecure single father and a naive maid are swimming in the ocean of an unnamed fire that promises to consume them both if they tend to rebel against its power. Call it lust. Call it addiction. Call it obsession. Give it the tag you see as best fitting. But truth be told, theirs is a milestone of a complicated, challenging, but prodigious heart-stirring romance journey like no other.

Victor Jason Thompson, the last of the three boys in the Thompson family, an award-winning actor, and an Italian billionaire, has everything money could buy, but he never had love.
Valerie Williams, an orphan with no place to call home and no one to show her love, suddenly finds herself thrust face-to-face with the Italian billionaire. Will true love prevail? Is their love strong enough to overcome external pressure? Let's read the book and find out.

My hot biker, my saving grace.


My life is nothing short of a modern-day Cinderella story. All that changes because of one single person. Little did I know the quiet Biker who took pity on me and took me to school was the one and only Billionaire Jake Woods, whom every single woman on Ryedale had the hots for—a man that no one had ever seen.

He brought love, happiness, and laughter into my life. My stepmother and step-sister couldn't afford to let me have freedom, so they did everything they could to make my father hate me. I survived the beatings and the constant lack of freedom. Jake was my saving grace, but that happiness would be ripped away from me.

He was the first man I've ever allowed to touch me, my first love and the only one I'd ever want. When Renee and Alexis Discovered the identity of the man who stood by me , I couldn't foresee their plans that would tear us apart, leaving us both in agony and heartache.

"To tempt me," he growls, his eyes smoldering with desire.

I tilt his head down, rising up on my toes and pressing my lips to his. The moment our lips meet, I feel a jolt of pleasure shoots through me. He responds with equal urgency, his tongue sliding between my lips and exploring my mouth. I can feel the hunger and need building inside me, the unbearable attraction between us almost too much to bear.

His hand slides down my back and grips my hip, pulling me even closer to him. I can feel the hardness of his body pressed against mine, and it only fuels my desire. My hands roam over his chest, feeling the heat emanating from his body.
