“It seems you owe me a favor for reuniting you and your father,” Zane said in his usual calm, steely voice. Selina slowly drifted her attention from the scenery and stared at him in disbelief. “How did you know I was referring to my father?” she asked, a hint of surprise simmering beneath her voice. “I see,” Zane muttered, his glacial eyes fixed on her bewildered gaze. “Do you truly believe if the world doesn’t recognize you as Hudson’s daughter, you can escape the doom that comes with his blood?” His voice pulsed with deep-seated grudges. Selina moved her eyes sideways in shock and bewilderment about what he meant. "I'm not hiding being my father's daughter. I'm only forbidden to mention my connections with him." Selina's bewildered gaze couldn’t hold his terrifying eyes for even a second, flickering instead to the corner of the room. “I’m not hiding being my father’s daughter. I’m only forbidden to speak of my ties with him.” Zane let out a disdainful snort, taking a predatory step closer as she instinctively retreated. "It's intriguing and hellish to have Hudson's daughter tonight to taste my retribution," he whispered. His calmness had faded into a haunting aura, leaving the air eerily thick as Selina gulped down dry. Her heart couldn't help but drum against her ribcage, the sound rising to her ears at his sinister words. “What…retribution…are you talking about?" Selina stammered, still retreating with Zane catching up with her pace. With his lips curved in a mild sneer, Zane uttered, "You don’t understand how desperate I’ve been, waiting for this day to watch you tortured, crying and begging for your peace relentlessly." "But I haven't wronged you either for me to be tortured by you." She attempted to sound confident in an unsettling atmosphere and only prayed he wouldn't hurt her. “As long as your father wronged me, so did you," Zane declared, his voice low and resentful. "And believe me, his retribution will hurt, far more than you think.” *** As the outcast daughter of the Everett family, Selina lives an ordinary life while fighting to rebuild herself into a prestigious figure—one whose name will echo through the world for decades to come. Just like every girl who dreams of being loved and cherished by the man she adores, Selina longs for a romance that feels like magic, with the very man she’s been secretly crushing on for three unforgettable years. But her quiet yearning shatters the moment that very man, Zane, returns not with affection, but with a ruthless vendetta against her and her family. His vengeance costs her everything—her dreams, her future, and nearly her life. Caught in the storm of his revenge and the cold rejection of those she once called family, Selina finds herself heartbroken and isolated. Then, fate plays its usual teasing card between Selina and Zane, as the unforgettable night they share at his welcome banquet yields an outcome neither of them expects. When Selina discovers she is pregnant with her enemy’s child, she refuses to remain ensnared in his ruthless, consuming revenge and leaves broken in the end. With nothing left but her resolve, she strikes a desperate deal: she will carry their child, in exchange for something momentarily precious to him.

Rewriting My Fate in the Apocalypse

Leng Pan never expected her late-night rant after reading a book about the apocalypse to change her life forever. Frustrated by the sheer stupidity of the second female lead in the novel; Apocalypse Rebirth', she criticized her tragic death, and the character’s blind loyalty to the female lead. But when Leng Pan wakes up, she finds herself inside the very novel; as the second female lead! She realizes she had transmigrated into the novel on the day she’s meant to hand over the jade bangle with a space to the so-called “best friend” who would betray her. With only seven days left before the world falls into chaos, Leng Pan refuses to follow the script. Instead of giving up her greatest advantage, she uses it to stockpile supplies, distances herself from the scheming reborn heroine, and most importantly; fights for the love of the male lead who once died trying to save her. Armed with foreknowledge, Leng Pan will change her fate. No more being used as a stepping stone. No more tragic endings. This time, she will survive. And she will thrive, even in the apocalypse. But what happens when the butterfly effect of her transmigration changes the script? Will her plans fail to keep up with the changes or will she rise above the author’s imagination and write her own story with the man who would kill and die for her?

Genshin Impact: The 12th Fatui Harbinger

After passing through many tribulations and defeating countless adversaries, Lumine finally met her brother, Bai Luo. "Brother, how did you become the Geo Emperor?" "Well, it was only for one day." "Then, what about the first great sage of Buer?" "It was a coincidence." "Okay, I believe you, but how the hell did you become the 12th Fatui Harbinger?" "I can explain that." "Then, why does Ningguang get scared whenever your name is mentioned?" Lumine asked skeptically. "It's because Bai Luo stole her Jade Chamber," Zhongli calmly answered. "You did WHAT?!" "Oh, it was all in the past. Here, try this Sunset Fruit; it’s sweet. Want to eat?" Bai Luo asked while presenting a sunset fruit with a sickeningly sweet scent. _________________________________ As the newly promoted 12th Fatui Harbinger [Instructor], Bai Luo was a little panicked. Because the Queen of Snezhnaya gave him a mission, which was to go to Inazuma as a Snezhnayan Envoy. As a time traveler, he knew the consequences of going to Inazuma, and he would definitely be killed by General Raiden. But if he didn't go, the Queen of Snezhnaya, Tsarista would kill him. So he chose the traditional art of Teyvat - fishing. ______________________________ If you want to read chapters in advance, be able to see the images that webnovel does not want you to see and support me here I leave you my patreon.
