OFFICIALLY DISCONTINUED! Kim Wonhu and Choi Seungcheol had been fierce rivals since their college days. Their competitive spirit fueled heated debates, late-night study sessions, and intense business competitions. But after five years of being apart, fate intervened. The Choi Empire, Seungcheol's powerful conglomerate, unknowingly extended a job offer to Wonhu-a brilliant market strategist who had never revealed her face in the cutthroat business world. As they started working together, their bickering continued. Their boardroom clashes were legendary, and their colleagues often placed bets on who would emerge victorious. Yet, beneath the surface, there was an undeniable tension-an electric charge that neither could ignore. Their mutual attraction simmered, threatening to disrupt their carefully constructed professional facades. One fateful night, during a corporate event, an argument escalated. The tension reached its breaking point, and they found themselves alone in an elevator. The confined space amplified their emotions-their anger, frustration, and desire. Instead of tearing each other apart, they made a daring choice: a secret arrangement that would satisfy their physical cravings without emotional entanglements. But love was an unwelcome intruder. They had vowed to keep emotions out of their arrangement, yet their hearts betrayed them. As stolen kisses turned into whispered confessions, they grappled with conflicting desires. Could they find a balance between love and rivalry? Or would their inferno of desire destroy everything they had built? In the battle between love and ambition, Seungcheol and Wonhu stood at the precipice. Their hearts teetered on the edge, torn between surrendering to love or succumbing to the flames of rivalry. Only time would reveal whether their arrangement would lead to salvation or ruin. Started on: 23/03/2024 Published on: 13/08/2024 Discontinued on: 13/01/2025

HIS TO RUIN by mydarktalez

"Look at me," he demanded, his voice rough as he pressed her against the clinic wall, his fingers tracing the fresh stitches on her skin. "Tell me to stop." Her breath hitched, the scent of antiseptic and his cologne dizzying. "Make me," Ishika challenged, her lips brushing his jaw-a taunt, a dare. Ayaan's restraint snapped. His mouth crashed against hers, not gentle, not careful-a claiming. The taste of copper and whiskey flooded her senses as she bit his lip, drawing blood. He groaned, his hands sliding down to grip her waist, anchoring her to him like she was the only thing keeping him from drowning. "You ruin me," he growled against her mouth. Ishika laughed, dark and breathless. "Good." Because in their world, love wasn't soft. It was knives and teeth and scars-and she'd carve her name into his soul before she ever let him go.
