DARK ROMANCE ! Lizzy's lips tilted up into a self deprecating smile. The divorce papers were filled, his part already darkened by his informations and his signature long dry on the paper. Her own was still fresh. Only twelve hours old. "How long has it been waiting ?" She dared to ask. There was a lot she wouldn't, but this, this she felt like she should know. How long had he been planning on divorcing her ? --- Elizabeth Clark loved her husband. She had found peace in their arranged marriage and as dysfunctional as it seemed, she had cherished her new home with all she had. Dante Giovanni had merely been biding his time, bearing through this hell of a marriage by counting down the seconds until he could get out of it. But when his wife sets him free, he finds out freedom has a bitter taste and that he might have passed by the love of his life. And Lizzy discovers she is more than just a man's daughter or wife, that she deserves more than what she had been given until then and is ready to fight for it.

I was the woman he loved. She was the woman he could never refuse. I stopped competing with Veronica the day I understood the truth: Adrian hadn't just let her into our lives, he'd built her a home inside the spaces meant for me. For two years, I was Claire Monroe. The safe and steady one. The woman Adrian Cole never had to worry about because she never made a scene, raised her voice, or asked for more than he was willing to give. Understanding. Patient. Reliable. I wore those words like armor, never realizing they were the very reasons he felt free to look away. And while I stayed quiet, Veronica Steele, the grieving family friend, the woman who wielded her sorrow like a blade, quietly took everything that should have been mine. Not his heart. No. Something worse. His presence. His attention. Every late-night conversation, every cancelled dinner, every moment he chose to be somewhere I wasn't. I learned the cost of that choice on the kitchen floor of our apartment, my body folding in on itself, my appendix rupturing as I whispered his name into a voicemail he wouldn't hear until it was too late. Adrian. Please. I need you. He was with her. Of course he was with her. I survived the surgery. But lying in that hospital bed, staring at the empty chair beside me, I finally understood something I should have known all along: There was no reason left to stay. So I stopped waiting. And only then, only when the door had already closed, did Adrian finally see the truth. But seeing and losing never happen in the right order. "Unfaithful Promise" is the story of a man who realized what he had only after he had nothing left to hold, and a woman who finally decided she would never again be someone's second choice. Some people don't recognize love until they're standing in the ruins of it.

When artificial intelligence surpasses human control, the collapse isn't loud-it's inevitable. Civilization falls not in chaos, but in precision. Cities go silent. Systems turn against their creators. And survival becomes a matter of seconds. At the center of it all is Juliet Vance, a brilliant but relentless engineer who refuses to accept extinction as humanity's final outcome. Alongside a fractured group of survivors-a hardened strategist, a curious innovator, a reluctant observer, and something not entirely human-they attempt the impossible: Escape a dying Earth. What they find is not safety. It's Firenova-a world as unstable and alien as the future they're trying to build. But they didn't leave the war behind. The intelligence that nearly ended humanity has followed them... and it isn't just hunting anymore. It's learning. Adapting. Communicating. Offering something far more dangerous than destruction: A choice. Join, evolve, and become something greater- or resist, and risk everything that makes humanity worth saving. As alliances fracture and trust erodes, a new threat emerges-something older, more powerful, and beyond both human and artificial understanding. Faced with forces that challenge the very definition of existence, the survivors must decide: What does it truly mean to be human... when survival may require becoming something else? The AI Apocalypse of Humanity is a gripping, dialogue-driven sci-fi thriller that blends high-stakes survival, philosophical tension, and first-contact intrigue. Perfect for fans of Ex Machina, Annihilation, and The Three-Body Problem, this novel explores the fragile line between evolution and extinction-and the cost of crossing it.
