Introduction
Every time Mason tried to force me to back down, he would slam the divorce agreement onto the table.
Every time my parents wanted me to yield, they threatened to sever all ties with me.
What they wanted was simple: for me to give everything to my twin sister.
I once resisted, cried, and questioned them over and over—why was I always the one left hurt?
Until the doctor slid my medical test results in front of me, and said to me in a tone full of pity:
"The pancreatic cancer cells have metastasized. You only have one month left to live, maybe even less."
I had nothing left to care about. I was doomed no matter what, so they could do whatever they wanted with me.

Chapter 1
Every time my parents want me to give in, they threaten to disown me. What they want is simple: give everything to my twin sister.
Until the doctor pushed the test results in front of me and told me with pity in his voice, "The pancreatic cancer has metastasized. You have a month, maybe less."
I have nothing left to care about. I'm dying anyway. They can do whatever they want.
1
"Have you thought it through? It's just one kidney. It's not like we're asking you to die!"
I clutched my pancreatic cancer diagnosis in one hand as my mom's impatient call came through. The words 'I don't have much time left' died in my throat once again. The only person they cared about was my twin sister Annie. Whether I lived or died made no difference to them.
When I stayed silent, Mom's anger flared. "Are you deaf?! Can't you hear me talking to you? She's your own sister, not some stranger! Are you really going to stand by and do nothing? If you dare refuse, get the hell out of the Gray family! We'll pretend we never had a daughter like you!"
I answered numbly, "Fine. I'll do it."
The moment I hung up, my husband Mason called. "Anna, I told you—if you donate a kidney to Annie, I won't sign the divorce papers."
Through the phone, I could faintly hear Annie's sweet, delicate voice. "Mason, she still won't do it?"
"Shh, baby. Just rest. Let me handle this."
Mason's voice turned cold when he addressed me again. "Anna, I'm at the hospital with your sister. You know how fragile Annie's health is. How can you be so heartless toward your own flesh and blood?"
Everyone revolved around Annie. Everyone catered to her.
I hung up and headed straight home. The house was a mess. Mason hadn't been back in over a month.
A conspicuous document envelope sat on the coffee table. Inside were the divorce papers Mason wanted me to sign. Without hesitation, I signed my name.
I took a photo and sent it to Mason, but he still wasn't satisfied. "Anna, I'm at Central Hospital. Bring it over now."
I didn't refuse. I was dying anyway. Better to cut all ties completely before the end.
Thirty minutes later, I arrived at the hospital. Standing outside the hospital room, I caught sight of Mason and Annie wrapped in each other's arms on the bed. Annie nestled weakly against Mason's neck, her breathing shallow and trembling.
When she looked up, her eyes met mine. She showed no surprise. Instead, she flashed me a smug, taunting smile.
Mason kept her cradled in his arms, refusing to let go. Even when I walked right up to them, he didn't care.
"You brought the papers? Perfect timing. Go get tested with the nurse. They need to check if you're a match." Mason handed the papers to Annie without looking at me. "Mom told you, right? About giving Annie one of your kidneys."
"I'll go talk to Dr. Lee. Stay here and look after Annie. I'll be right back."
Mason kissed Annie tenderly, his gentleness so overwhelming it could drown you. I'd never seen him like that before.
The moment he left, Annie waved the divorce papers in the air. "Anna, look at how pathetic you are. I almost feel bad for you."
She laughed triumphantly. "Let me tell you a little secret."
"The truth is... I'm not actually sick enough to need a kidney."
I couldn't take it anymore. Looking at her smug face, I wanted nothing more than to drag her down with me. "Why?! Why are you doing this to me?!"
"No reason. You've just always been in my way since we were kids. But I have to say, you've got good taste in men. Thanks for that, Anna."
She could fake being sick and win everyone's love, while I'd passed out at home countless times and woken up alone on the floor every single time.
I grabbed her by the collar and raised my hand to slap her.
But Annie screamed in panic and threw herself off the bed, wailing hysterically. "No! Anna, I'm sorry! Please forgive me—stop hitting me!"
The door burst open. A slap cracked across my face.
"You animal! Your sister is this sick and you dare lay a hand on her! You hate Annie that much? Are you even human?!" My father's hand was still raised, trembling with rage.
"You heartless thing! Get out!" Mom shrieked.
Mason, who'd rushed back at the commotion, grabbed me and threw me to the floor. "Mason, get her out of here. Don't let her upset Annie."
Mom pulled the tear-streaked Annie into her arms, her heart breaking for her. Dad crouched beside them, fussing over Annie.
Only me, like some beggar. Cast aside by everyone, cursed at, lying undignified on the ground.

“I thought we discussed this earlier, Weakness? I warned you. His death is on your hands.”
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
3.5k Views · Ongoing · Linda
After college, Lucas pursued me relentlessly.
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

Letters to a Dark Prince

Mara Kim has never belonged anywhere… until someone decided she did.
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.

"Eyes up here," he said.
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.
Was he about to kiss me?
Lilly’s life was never easy; she lost her memory and family in a blazing fire. Angelica found and took her in—only to make her a slave to the household.
Years of torment and abuse left Lilly weak, vulnerable, and believing she was without a wolf, but that didn't mean that all hope was lost.
At night, in her dreams, he would patiently wait for her—the man who brought sunshine into her darkest moments.
They would dance the night away, but as dawn approached, he would vanish into the morning sun.
Lilly had given up hope of finding a mate, having a family, and leading a normal life.
But things are about to drastically change for her...
Secrets, lies, betrayal... and a baby on the way.
What if Lilly wasn't wolf-less? What if it was all a lie?
What if she had a living family? Would she stay and bond with them or make a run for freedom?
My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.
I found myself molded to Lex's will, my feet irresistibly following the dance steps.
The crowd gasped as Lex pulled me into a more intimate position, his hands roaming over my body in a seductive manner.
The experience was both terrifying and magical, allowing me to feel every longing emotion through the dance.
I soon found myself lost in his arms.
When the music finally stopped, my arms were wrapped around his neck, his hands resting on my back, our noses almost touching. He gazed deeply into my eyes.
The ballroom fell silent.

THE CHRONO WITCH: BENDING TIME TO SAVE HIM
1.8k Views · Ongoing · Kwindumas
Kayla Faye has spent years waiting for the right moment to tell her childhood best friend how she truly feels. She waited through tenth grade when he started avoiding her. She waited through eleventh grade when he left for college without saying goodbye. She even waited until the day before her graduation, convincing herself she was finally ready.
What she wasn't ready for was finding out Zayn Ponteris had been dead the entire time.
The grief shatters something inside her. And before anyone can stop it, Kayla does something no sorceress should be able to do—she travels back in time.
Suddenly she's fifteen again, standing at their end of year formal, with Zayn alive and right in front of her, completely unaware that in another timeline she watched his parents mourn him.
This time, Kayla is determined to save him. Except nothing goes according to plan.
Zayn has a girlfriend. And the closer Kayla gets to changing his fate, the more she realizes her powers are bigger and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
The supernatural world is closing in. The clock is running out. And the one person standing between Kayla and everything hunting her is the same boy she keeps bending time to protect.
Kayla has no idea what's in store for her.
Because when you bend time, fate bends back.
