Who needs a reverse harem when he can clone himself? ✯✵✯✵✯ After a world-shattering Christmas date leaves Althea Morgan broke and reeling, she has no choice but to take the only job that can keep her life from falling apart. Unfortunately, that job comes with one brutal condition: she has to live with and work for Cassian Ashcroft, the very man who low-key helped ruin her Christmas. He's infuriating. Cold. Arrogant. And, annoyingly, not always an asshole. As shared walls blur, their hostility morphs into something far more intimate. The more time she spends with her boss, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull between them-or the truth beneath his perfect control. Because something about Cassian isn't right. And neither is Althea-especially when his secrets start reacting to parts of her she never knew existed. As strange incidents pile up, Althea faces a truth she's tried to bury: the monsters from her ex's conspiracies are real. She can't tell where the monster ends and man begins-and she's far more entangled in their world than she ever imagined. And Cassian proves to be more than just her infuriating boss... Because loving him might cost Althea the very thing she's trying so hard to protect-her family and their home.

The sun didn't fail, it noticed us. A Brief Absence of God is a short journey through the final days of a world being "un-written." As the light turns necrotic and the fundamental laws of physics begin to drift, survivors across the globe face the same chilling reality: we were never the protagonists of this story. We were just the dust on a lens that is finally being wiped clean.

Haruto was invisible. Broke, ignored, just another student in the back row. Until one choice changed everything. Fifty million yen. A new life. A chance to fix everything. But money doesn't solve problems. It creates new ones. When a mysterious girl uncovers his secret, Haruto is pulled into a hidden system that controls the balance between good and evil. A world where nothing is random. Where every action has a price. And where he is no longer just a bystander. The question is: will he change the system... or become part of it?
