At twenty years old, Bella Marie Sinclair has everything money can buy. As the mysterious heiress behind Maison Belle-the world's most coveted luxury fashion house-she lives behind wealth, beauty, and carefully guarded secrets. Except one. Her father has already chosen the man she's supposed to marry. Refusing to surrender her future, Bella comes up with a reckless plan: find a temporary husband, stay married for one year, then quietly walk away. She expects every man to say yes. Elijah Romano is the first to say no. A talented young chef in Paris, Elijah has no interest in Bella's fortune, her status, or the life she represents. The more she pushes, the more stubborn he becomes. What begins as a battle of wills slowly leads them far from the glittering streets of Paris to the quiet island of Isla Verde, where shared meals, muddy fields, and ordinary days begin to change them both in ways neither expected. Because sometimes love doesn't arrive with grand declarations. Sometimes... It begins with someone quietly asking, "Have you eaten?"

she spend her life protecting herself and he spend his life handling with his past trauma they were two wounded hearts which join together to become each other strength

In a kingdom where magic is feared and monsters are hunted, nineteen-year-old Lyra Vale has lived her entire life believing she was ordinary. Until the night the sky bleeds red. After a brutal attack destroys her village, Lyra is rescued by the mysterious Kael Draven - a cold, dangerously powerful heir haunted by secrets of his own. Forced into the heart of the Golden Capital, Lyra becomes entangled in a web of ancient prophecies, forbidden magic, and truths the kingdom buried centuries ago. Because the palace remembers her. Locked doors open at her touch. Forgotten voices whisper her name in the dark. And the portrait of a long-dead queen looks exactly like her. As strange powers begin awakening inside her one by one, Lyra realizes she is no ordinary human. She carries forbidden bloodlines no one believed could exist together - witch, werewolf, vampire, fairy... and something far older. Something even dragons fear. But every new power brings her closer to a terrifying prophecy foretelling the fall of the Veil separating their world from the ancient horrors beyond it. And Kael knows more than he admits. Torn between duty and desire, Kael is bound by a deadly oath: if Lyra's final bloodline awakens, he must kill her before she destroys the realm. But as war brews, kingdoms crumble, and long-extinct dragons begin to rise from the shadows, Lyra uncovers a devastating truth: She was never meant to save the kingdom. She was meant to open it. Now hunted by enemies, betrayed by allies, and drawn to the one person sworn to end her, Lyra must decide who she truly is before the darkness beneath the kingdom awakens. Because once the Dragon Queen rises... Nothing will survive unchanged.

Pumirma ako para maging girlfriend niya. Hindi para mahalin, kundi para sirain. Pero paano kung pareho kaming nalulunod sa kasinungalingan?

Yuvraj Singh Yadhuvanshi is a strikingly handsome yet ruthless mafia king, a billionaire whose life is steeped in darkness and intimidation. He revels in the thrill of the chase, pursuing his enemies with a sadistic pleasure, torturing them until they beg for death. To him, love is a futile distraction-a weakness that can destroy a person from within. He believes that he can achieve his desires by any means necessary, viewing emotions as impediments to power. But when he lays eyes on Ishita Singhania, a sweet, innocent, and bubbly young woman who embodies everything he despises, his world begins to unravel. In an instant, she becomes his obsession, and he is determined to possess her at any cost. Ishita Singhania is a hopeful romantic, a dreamer who believes in the profound strength of love. To her, love is a beacon that empowers her to face life's challenges, a promise that one day she will find someone to protect her-a shield against the world's cruelties. Yet, her once-innocent perspective is shattered by harsh realities. "Ishita reflects, "The word 'love' sounds enchanting in fiction, but in reality, it is a mere illusion. Only devils inhabit this world, ready to haunt, chase, and shatter you into a million pieces." What tragic event led to her disillusionment? What forces conspired to transform her belief in love into a haunting memory? As fate intertwines their lives, Yuvraj and Ishita are drawn together by a shared past that neither fully understands. When the truth of their intertwined histories is unveiled, will they confront the demons that bind them? Will they embrace the fate that draws them together, or will the shadows of their past tear them apart? In this thrilling tale of love, obsession, and redemption, the boundaries between right and wrong blur. It reveals that even in the darkest hearts, the possibility of love can linger-waiting for the right moment to ignite and either save or consume them both.

The classroom was a madhouse. The entire second floor echoed with chaos - laughter, screeches, kids flinging bags, dancing on benches, and tearing papers. The final exams were over, 9th grade had officially ended, and a month holiday lay ahead before the grind of 10th grade began. It was the last day of school. It was everything that screamed madness. But she sat still at her desk, face turned towards the window, unmoved by the noise around her. Ever since that day, no more messages. No strange calls. Nothing. Yet the silence didn't bring peace. It brought something worse - unease. He had tried tracking the number, but it was already deactivated. No trace left behind. No loose ends. Just enough to keep her wondering. Across the room, Harpreet Ma'am was chatting with her favorite group - the teacher's pets, as everyone called them. She barely paid them any attention. A heavy feeling hung in her chest, like a storm cloud. Something was coming. Something big. Something no one - especially not her - was ready for. And it proved true when the receptionist walked into the class, holding a gate pass with the name that no one had taken in years...
