Contract Marriage: I Came For The Son, Then Fell For The Father

Nyx_Rae
Five years ago, Nina Hale lost everything… her family, her reputation, and the man she once loved. Betrayed by her own sister and abandoned by those she trusted most, she disappeared without a trace. Now she’s back. With a new identity and a burning determination, Nina is ready to reclaim her life and chase the dream she once gave up: becoming a star actress. But her return awakens old enemies, and her scheming sister Lydia is determined to ruin her again. Just when Nina thinks things can’t get worse, she’s caught in another trap… and unexpectedly crosses paths with a quiet, lonely little boy. Ethan Grant hasn’t spoken in years. Feeling responsible for him, Nina agrees to stay and help the child come out of his shell. But she didn’t expect Ethan’s dangerously charming father, Lucas Grant, to enter the picture. Cold, powerful, and impossible to read, Lucas slowly finds himself drawn to the woman who brightens his son’s world. What begins as a simple act of kindness soon turns into something far more complicated, because Nina came back for revenge. She never planned to fall in love. ********** “I shouldn’t be here,” Nina whispered, even as she stayed rooted in place. Lucas stepped closer, slow and deliberate, his presence closing the distance between them. “Then why are you?” Her breath hitched when his fingers brushed hers—light, almost accidental, but it lingered. “This isn’t part of the deal.” “Maybe it should be.” His gaze dropped to her lips, dark and intent. “You don’t even like me,” she said, though her voice softened. “That’s not the problem.” “Then what is?” He leaned in, close enough for his voice to turn low, intimate. “That I want you anyway.” “Lucas…” Her hand pressed lightly against his chest, but she didn’t push him away. His eyes held hers, unwavering. “Use me, Nina.”

The Gods Need A Better Storyteller

After dying in a fire, a librarian finds himself before Geshich, the god of stories. Desperate for another chance at life, and avoid the dread of death, he pleads for a second chance. Geshich agrees, on one condition: this time, his life must be worth telling. Reborn as Caleb Lightbane, he finds himself in a medieval world turned on its head, where women are superhuman warriors and men wield magic. Determined to avoid a dull and uninteresting life, Caleb searches for a narrative worthy of divine approval, unaware that his desire for a good story may get him into more trouble than its worth. When he accidentally kills several figures he believes to be bandits in the woods, Caleb stumbles upon a horrifying discovery: a trunk containing a strange and alien substance and the dismembered bodies parts of young girls. Wracked with guilt and curiosity, he spends months studying healing magic, eventually succeeding in restoring them to life. But when the girls awaken, Caleb panics and invents a lie. He tells them they were sacrificed by an evil cult devoted to a god of Entropy, casting himself as a chosen savior: the Prophet of Light. Trapped by his own fabrication, Caleb’s situation worsens when he carelessly creates a clone of himself, one who eagerly volunteers to play the role of the Evil Prophet. From opposite sides of a sometimes carefully constructed myth and sometimes random bullshit they came up with, Caleb and his clone begin to shape their followers into warriors and zealots, forged by faith, lies and gas-lighting. To sustain the illusion, the two prophets engage in deliberate theatrics: staged confrontations, fake prophecies, and calculated displays of mercy and cruelty, all designed to be seen and remembered. And their antics may have caught the attention of more than just Geshich. (2-3 Chapters a week. Usually on Tuesdays and Thursday, sometimes Saturday. But there will be a hiatus between volumes.)

MARVEL: ALL MY INCARNATIONS FEMALE VILLAINS

Transformation", "Yuri", "Narcissus", "Anime Crossover", "Behind-the-Scenes" Su Modie never expected that she would transmigrate into the Marvel world and become a beautiful girl. Looking at her face in the mirror, which was more innocent than her first love, and then imagining the world-ending Thanos snap in the future, the girl felt dizzy. What's the point of playing this game? Just not getting caught and having babies is a success! Fortunately, she awakened "The Villainess Simulation Game" and started with the bomb demon Reese. As long as she causes trouble and harvests negative emotions, she can use the Villainess Value to draw an avatar. Minami, Makima, Red Wolf, Rize Kamishiro, Android 18, Annie the Female Titan… Wait a minute, has something strange gotten mixed in? As he grew closer to the increasingly aloof, domineering, and yandere types surrounding him, surrounded by the scent of citrus, Su Modie's original desire to be a macho man gradually wavered. …This feeling of “pampering myself” is getting more and more addictive! So the girl completely let loose and became a troublemaker among a group of superheroes and supervillains. Draw new avatars, train and simulate characters, and unlock more poses... oh wait, I mean more skins and abilities. Tony: Miss Lacey is so mean! She blew my armor to smithereens and then sold it for scrap metal QAQ Thor: Is Mjolnir's password "big-breasted, brainless blonde beauty"? Why did that mage named Lux just casually pick her up? Nick Fury: What do you mean, even Hydra has been infiltrated by LeBlanc? Thanos: What are you looking at me for? I'm Miss Machima's dog, woof! When Su Modie came to her senses, she looked at the Marvel universe she had messed up and blinked innocently: "I really didn't intend to destroy the world!"
