"But perfection is a mask. And masks crack" Meet Park Mirae, the Queen of Diamonds at Dulwich College Seoul. She's smart, ruthless, and unbreakable. Everyone either fears her, respects her or wants to be her. But no one knows the truth. Her mom's death was just the start. Her sisters... their lives trapped in secrets darker than anyone can imagine. One is gone but one is somewhere hidden away from the world. And at the center of it all? Her father-the President of South Korea. Then the game changes. A mysterious transfer sees through her crown. A golden-boy influencer hides something dangerous behind his perfect smile. Both could destroy everything Mirae has built with fear and silence. In a world where power rules, loyalty is fake, and one wrong move can ruin everything... Mirae has to decide: Keep her crown... or uncover a truth that could burn her whole world down. Power is a game. And Mirae? She always plays to win.

"It's yours," I say when she merely stares, eyes flicking back and forth between it and myself. Calculating, processing. Wondering why on earth I would just hand it over to her. That's the question of the day, isn't it? The answer is because she's the revolution now. She's grown into the exact person I thought she would become - needed her to become. Every god needs a believer, but I can't say I expected to ever be the one kneeling. I used to want to lead the world. Now I just want to watch her remake it. I step closer, slowly, carefully. Like I'm approaching a predator. Because I am. Her head tilts to the side, confusion swirling amidst the cold calculation. My eyes travel down her form, cataloguing everything that's changed about her. Her stance is more rigid, her hair tamer, posture perfect. The wild, emotional girl is gone. And in her place is a queen in the making. -------- Verena Ebonmere was never meant to stand out. Her magic was bound, her family tried to forget her, and even at Hogwarts she's just another face in the crowd-until a mark blooms against her skin, thorn-shaped and burning with power she doesn't understand. Now everyone seems to want something from her: a professor whose charm hides something far more dangerous, a boy whose visions of rebellion could consume them both, and a person whose gentle smile conceals secrets older than the school itself. Pulled between desire, loyalty, and the lure of her own unraveling power, Verena must decide whether she's the prey everyone expects her to be... or the crown they never saw coming. *NO HARRY POTTER KNOWELDGE NEEDED!!* *I do not own any of the world building or settings, but all characters and plots are my own :)*

It began with a question she couldn't answer, and a marriage that couldn't survive her silence. Now she's alone in a cramped Hudson Valley apartment. No plan. No safety net. Just room to breathe. Until one night, she wanders into a music venue... and sees him. She's not sure she has anything left to give. But somehow, between late-night calls, endless drives to catch him in other cities, and stolen moments in the chaos of his world, her unraveling existence evolves into that of a famous musician's girlfriend. After the Fall is a raw and tender love story; it doesn't promise rescue, but something rarer: recognition. For anyone who's ever had to lose everything to discover what they truly needed. 📖 New chapters released weekly.

Elias realizes he has saved the honest, forgotten truth of the machine's end, preserving its tragic farewell.

Hij speelde met harten alsof ze speelgoed waren. Geen beloftes. Geen gevoelens. Geen spijt. Tot Lisa. Zij was alles wat hij nooit durfde toe te laten - kalmte in zijn chaos, licht in zijn storm. Voor het eerst voelt Alex wat het is om écht lief te hebben. Om iets te willen dat niet breekt. Maar net wanneer hij denkt dat hij haar heeft, keert zijn verleden terug. Femke. De vonk die nooit is gedoofd. Het meisje dat zijn bloed sneller deed koken, zijn verstand deed vervagen, en zijn hart weer naar beneden trok - terug in de diepte waar hij dacht nooit meer te belanden. Nu staat Alex gevangen tussen twee werelden: De zachte, oprechte liefde van Lisa. En de rauwe, verleidelijke lust die Femke opnieuw in hem aanwakkert. Twee vrouwen. Twee gevoelens. Eén man die langzaam aan zichzelf verliest. Lust of liefde - wat overwint? Elk hoofdstuk wordt zorgvuldig geschreven in Word - met aandacht voor detail, emotie en diepgang. Ik herschrijf, verbeter en bouw elk stuk op tot het precies voelt zoals het moet. Ik hoop dat mijn woorden je meenemen in het verhaal, dat je erin verdwaalt, en misschien zelfs een stukje van jezelf terugvindt.
