Second, it was with the most successful businessman in their country. And who would have thought that for the second time around, it was all because of Claire, her old bestfriend.

Specially with his father treating her as an asset to gained partnership to different famous companies. But when a man made her feel his rectifying graze, will she be able to resist it, or will she surrender her heart again?
Chapter 1
KATE’s P.O.V.
“That was gross!” I cried as the freak cut off the woman’s head on the television.
“Please turn it off, Kate!” Claire pleaded while covering her eyes.
“Why? This movie is the best,” I stated.
“No, it’s not.” Claire throw a pillow over my direction.
I laughed, seeing my bestfriend scared to death. We are having a sleepover and I can’t help but to think why am I even friends with this lady. We’ve known each other since high school, and we are not keeping secrets. What Claire knows, I know.
Despite of having two very different personalities, we get along so well. Claire being the friendly one while I’m being the cold hearted bitch at our school. I love horror movies, while she is obsessed with cringe romance films.
“Just please, change the movie, Kate,” she said, trying to grabbed the remote out of my hands but I didn’t let her.
“Stop hovering around, will you? This film is nearly on it’s climax part! I want to watch it. Besides, this is our house.”
She pouted, making me chuckle. Dad and Mom often fly abroad for their stupid work. That’s why I have a lots of time inviting my bestfriend over to our house. Our maids doesn’t mind it anyway.
I often feel alone, having no friends while Mom and Dad aren’t around. They said that they are only doing this for my own good but I couldn’t understand it. Sometimes, I envy Claire for having a father that would stay over their house just to play with her when she’s still a kid.
“What are you thinking?” she curiously asked, throwing a popcorn over my face.
I just laughed, wiping the dirt caused by her. Thank God Claire is here. She never let me feel lonely. Because of her, I finally got someone that I can call my own bestfriend.
“I’m thinking how lucky I am to have you as my bestfriend.”
“Well that was gross,” she faked puking in front of me and I laughed.
“Hey, I’m serious! Mom and Dad often leave me all alone. And I’m very glad that you came into my life.”
She smiled at me, before patting my back.
“Me too. I’m vey lucky to have you,” she stated.
“You know what, I always wanted to have a sister. But Mom and Dad wouldn’t allow it.”
“Me too. But since Mom is sick, the doctors told us that having another member of the family will be to risky for her and for the baby, if ever. How I wish I could have one.”
“Don’t you realized it? Maybe God gave us to each other,” I stated. “You are more than qualified to be my sister, Claire.”
“Really? Thanks a lot, Kate. You’re really sweet.”
I gave him a short hug before we did our secret handshake. We never told this to anyone. It was like our own version of promising that we will never leave each other’s side. Except that it is less girly, of course.
The night passed by. The next morning, Claire and I ate our breakfast together in our dining room. Then we waited for each other to prepare ourselves before leaving to school. I requested to our maids to pack a lunch for two. I want to eat with Claire inside of our campus since I haven’t had any other friends except of her. I gladly took the containers as soon as they finished preparing it for us.
“So... Let’s go now?” Claire asked.
I nodded as I got inside of our car. My driver started the engine and we finally drove to our school. Claire and I talked about some random stuffs during the whole trip. She even let me copy her assignment without any hesitation.
Claire has this dream of becoming a teacher someday. And I’m very happy for her. She’s very smart, not like me that I haven’t even had any plans for the future yet.
“We’re here, Ms. Frias,” our driver declared.
“Come on. We are going to be late,” Claire took her seatbelt off and I did the same.
“You are obviously excited to go. Please spare some enthusiasm for me,” I teased her.
She just laughed as a response. It wasn’t that bad going to school everyday since I met her. My life was not as boring as before when I was a kid. Thanks to her, I finally learned how to enjoy my weekdays.
We are currently at our last year in junior high school. Graduation is just around the corner and I still haven’t got any plan for my college application yet.
“So, let’s see each other at the school Cafeteria later?” I asked to Claire.
“Sure thing.”
We made our way over our own respective classrooms for we didn’t have the same classes at our first subject. I walked through the hallways, not bothering to look at my way. Until I bumped into something... Or should I say someone?
“Hey...” I looked up at the man in front of me.
My heart suddenly skipped a beat at the sight of his gorgeous face. How come I didn’t know that someone like him exist in our school?
“H-hi...”
“Are you alright?” he asked, pertaining to the folders and books that I just dropped on the floor.
“Yes, I am,” I answered too quickly, picking up my stuffs.
“Let me help you.”
He kneel down to help me, and as he tried to reached out for some of my books, our hands accidentally touched, giving an electrifying sensation to my arms up to my body.
“Here you go,” he said as he handed me some of my books before he finally stood up. I did the same.
“Are you new here?” I curiously asked.
“Uhm... Not actually. I’ve been here for months. And I often see you arriving here in our school with Claire.”
“You know my bestfriend?”
He smiled, before nodding. I’m pretty sure that it will only take some few more smiles from this gorgeous man before I fall for him.
“Well, not exactly. I often heard her name from some of our classmates. You know, we have the same classes together.”
I thought about how lucky my bestfriend is. If a guy like this know and watching someone like me, I would be thrilled. But Claire isn’t like that. Yes, she’s so obsessed with romantic films but she didn’t fond to that kind of thing in real life.
“What’s your name, by the way?” he asked, making me blushed. Thank God he finally asked me.
“I’m Kate.” I lend my hand for a shake.
“Gabriel.” He reached for it and then he gently shook it.
For the second time today, I felt my heart skipped another beat. He look at me, then smiled. My heart melts at this lovely sight of him. I couldn’t believe that the process of falling in love could happen this fast.
“Are you sure you’re okay? You are blushing right now,” he stated, then chuckled.
“I’m not!” I answered too quickly, only proving that I am guilty if that was a crime.
I reached my warm cheeks, covering it with my palms in order for him not to see it. I can’t wait to have lunch and tell this to my bestfriend.
“So... I gotta go now. See you later, Kate.” He winked at me.
I can’t feel my tongue anymore as he walked away from me. I couldn’t answer him as much as I wanted to. But even so, I felt glad meeting someone like him.
Hours passed by so fast that I couldn’t even remember our lesson for today. As soon as the bell rings, I quickly grabbed my stuffs and went straight to the Cafeteria of our school. I badly wanted to see Claire.
My heart throbbed in nervousness as soon as I stepped inside of the place. There, I saw the man that I just met earlier... Sitting with my bestfriend. They are laughing with each other while sharing some random thoughts. How can I eat now that he’s with us? Also, I couldn’t tell Claire about what happened earlier because she’ll surely tease me about it. And of course I don’t want that to happen in front of Gabriel.
“Kate!” I finally came back to my senses when I heard my bestfriend called me by my name. “Come over here!”
I walked towards their direction sheepishly. Gabriel is still there, smiling widely at me.
“I met him in one of my classes. He told me that you two bumped into each other earlier. Is that true?” Claire curiously asked me and I just nodded as a response.
“Since you two had already known me by now, I’m inviting myself to your table every lunch. Is that okay with you, Claire?”
Claire just nodded before patting the seat next to her while looking at me. I sat down, blushing at the thought that I’m going to spend every lunch here at the Cafeteria not just with my bestfriend... But also with Gabriel.
“Are you okay, Kate?” Claire asked me, worried.
“Y-yeah.” Why am I even stuttering?!
“Gab was asking you if it’s okay that he’ll sat down with us during every lunch,” she casually stated.
Gabriel put on a sweetest smile upon his face. Now how come they think that I could refuse the request this guy?
“Is that okay? If not I–”
“No! It’s super fine with me. You can join us any time that you want.”
My bestfriend smiled towards my direction mischievously. And at that moment, I instantly realized that maybe she already knew about my feelings for that new guy.

The chef’s face morphed into existential crisis.

Lightborn: The Demon’s Bond
The Unwritten Princess
My name is Mia, and everything I touch is dying.
The flowers beneath my mother's window turned black overnight. The herbs I gathered at dawn rotted in my hands. When the court wizard finally told me the truth—that someone cursed me, that my presence would kill everyone I love—I realized the prophecy everyone believed was never meant to save the kingdom. It was meant to destroy me.
So I ran. Not to fulfill some destiny, but to survive it.
Now I'm traveling with a hunter who lost his companions to the same curse I carry, chasing fragments of a prophecy the Fae sing differently. An elf took a baby from the palace the night I was born. And somewhere between the lies I've been told and the truth I'm hunting, I'm starting to suspect: What if I'm not the princess from the prophecy at all?
The Hunter and The Hunted
Mihai’s hand slowly slides up my stomach, his fingers wrapping around my neck as he cuts of my ability to breathe, black spots clouding my vision, and yet, I am not afraid. I want more. I want everything that he can give to me.
He slowly inserts a third finger, the intense fullness that I feel teetering me over the edge of a cliff I cannot even see, and then he sucks and pulls at my clit. Sparks erupt throughout my body, the orgasm shaking my soul, and destroying what was left of my resistance.
She was the Daughter of a Hunter, he was one of the creatures that her family had sworn to destroy, what could possibly go wrong?
When their worlds collide, who will be left standing, will it be the hunter or the hunted, and which is which?
Aphrodite and the Cursed Mate Bond
She finds truth.
Aphrodite is not human at all. She is a rare white wolf, descended from an ancient Direwolf bloodline long believed extinct. The ritual meant to sever her ties awakens her wolf instead and with it comes the scent of five mates bound to her by fate.
The Alpha twins who once scorned her now cannot stay away. A human hunter walks beside her and proves that strength is not born of fangs or dominance. A cursed Wolf King holds the key to her past and her father’s imprisonment. And watching from the shadows is one who was never meant to interfere at all.
As gods fall, packs fracture, and war reshapes the world, Aphrodite must decide what destiny truly means. Is it submission to fate or the courage to choose her own path.
Love does not come in one form. Neither does power.
In a world ruled by gods and wolves, Aphrodite will become something neither ever expected.
Not a queen.
But the axis upon which the world turns.
From Sacrificed Slave to the Dragon King's Obsession
His fangs glinted as he gripped my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. Dragon scales shimmered along his neck, breath scorching my skin.
"Your Majesty... I beg—" He shoved me onto the bed. Silk tore with a sharp rip, cold air rushing over my exposed body.
"Scared?" He smirked, palm sliding down my waist, fingers tracing slow, burning circles. "Yet you shiver... not from cold."
I lunged for the candlestick, but he caught my wrist, pinning it overhead. His knee forced my legs apart.
"When your father gave you to me," his lips brushed my ear, voice a dark rumble, "you were already mine."
On the eve of freedom after ten years of servitude, Lina Valeria stood one night away from reuniting with her betrothed. But Dragon King Augustus condemned her to the Abyss Mines on false charges—a trap forged from obsessive desire.
Augustus Ashenwing, Supreme Sovereign of Skyhold Citadel, is ruthless and feared by all races. His obsession stems from ancient grudges and dragonkind's most dangerous instinct: possessive desire. He demands her submission, binding her to his throne as his consort.
From prisoner to queen, Lina battles him through court intrigue and twisted passion—fighting for her mother, her freedom, her dignity.
Yet this cold-blooded tyrant reserves all tenderness for her alone. He indulges her temper, bends his pride, compromises without limit—anything to see her smile. Gradually, her heart wavers. But loving him means betraying Kain, who waited eleven years. Torn between duty and desire, she drowns in agonizing guilt.
Love and hatred intertwined—a forbidden dragon romance in a realm of oppression.
Vengeance of the Forsaken Luna
"Bella." Ethan's tone shifted, taking on that warning edge I knew too well. "Faye is vulnerable right now. She's terrified you'll resent her, that this will divide the pack. The last thing she wants is for this baby to come between us."
"Then you shouldn't have done it." I met his eyes squarely, letting him see the ice in mine. "Go back to your son."
"For fuck's sake." He dragged a hand through his hair. "How many times—it was artificial insemination. They used my sperm, yes, but Faye and I never—"
Bella let out a cold snort. Such brazen lies. Her mate had an affair with his brother's partner, and his entire family helped force her out with nothing, all to make way for the mistress to take her rightful position. Poor fool—he thought she was just an unwanted adopted daughter, easy to dismiss and control. He never knew the computer genius he'd been searching for was his own Luna.
Since he'd tainted himself, Bella was done. She rejected him and reclaimed what was hers, rising to the top with help from Victor, who'd been secretly in love with her for years.
When Ethan tried winning her back: "You don't want our child growing up fatherless."
Bella smiled mockingly. "The child's father isn't you."
