In a world where power and corruption dictate fate, three cities stand at the center of a brewing storm. Emnectia, a thriving coastal hub, masks its decaying underbelly of black-market dealings and political manipulation. Regalia, the seat of power, harbors dangerous secrets that could reshape the world. Fiore, a frozen stronghold, shelters both the law and those who defy it. But beyond them all lies the Forbidden Land, a place of nightmares, whispered legends, and horrors that should not exist. When Reid, Thomas, and Bruce find themselves entangled in the ruthless web of Emnectia's elite, their fates take a dark turn. The Genkai military recruits them into a conflict where alliances shift like shadows, and even the most trusted can become an enemy. As myths and reality begin to blur, an ancient truth threatens to shatter everything they thought they knew. Some seek power. Some seek survival. But in the end, fate is never fair-only uneven.

"Little Valerie," said Kai, bending closer to me. "Are you blackmailing me into dating you?" He didn't seem particularly disturbed by the notion. In fact, he remained completely amused. "Yes?" Kai grinned. "Very mafia of you. I'm weirdly kind of into it." *** When Valerie Williams discovers that her long-term boyfriend is sleeping with her best friend, she devises a revenge plot to get back at them both. But when she asks bad boy Kai Delaney to pretend to date her, she never thought her heart would be on the line. *** Self-proclaimed pessimist Valerie Williams is definitely your glass-half-empty kind of girl. However, Valerie is surprisingly optimistic when her (ex) boyfriend cheats on her with her (also ex) best friend. Valerie doesn't believe in holding grudges; she believes in getting even. Which doesn't seem easy, until her boyfriend's least favourite person and her best friend's long-standing crush, the sarcastic, cocky and popular bad boy extraordinaire Kai Delaney crashes, quite literally, into her life. When Kai accidentally hits her car with what is practically a monster truck, and can barely afford to cover it, Valerie has an idea. If Kai agrees to pretend to date her, for long enough to make her boyfriend and best friend regret their actions, Valerie will give him the duration of their scam to pull together the money to pay her back. Revenge is a dish best served fake. [150,000-200,000 words]
