Bunny, a highly skilled but chaotically curious hacker-for-hire, is tasked with retrieving sensitive data for a shady client. In the process, he accidentally breaches the personal file of Orchid, a Department Lead at the company he's infiltrating.
Instead of deleting the file, Bunny is drawn in. Orchid's life is in chaos - suspicious financial records, encrypted emails, and secret notes suggest she's hiding something... or being threatened. Something in her story mirrors a trauma from Bunny's own past, and against his better judgment, he intervenes - just to fix one "small" problem.
But one problem leads to another. Bunny uncovers a disturbing link between Orchid and his client - perhaps she's being used, or maybe she's a (?). The more Bunny helps, the deeper he gets entangled. His virtual presence isn't enough anymore.
To protect her and uncover the truth, Bunny infiltrates the company in person, posing as a new employee in Orchid's department. Now he must juggle his fake identity, keep his past hidden, and decide just how far he's willing to go to fix someone else's life - and his own.

The Minions of Magnus Wolfe
Magnus Wolfe is a man who always wins. A ruthless mastermind with an empire built on strategy and control, he commands loyalty, power, and-most importantly-results. At his side stand his two most trusted (and questionable) allies: • Iris, an overly enthusiastic wildcard who showers Magnus with endless praise (and definitely does not have feelings for him). • Ren, the resident hacker and designated disaster witness, who suffers through their ridiculous dynamic while providing excellent commentary. --- For years, their team has run like a well-oiled machine of calculated chaos-missions executed with precision, enemies outmaneuvered, and headquarters filled with constant bickering and occasional flying objects. But when Magnus finally realizes that Iris's admiration might not just be admiration, things begin to shift. And Iris-who once thrived in Magnus's orbit-suddenly finds herself questioning if she's been playing a game she never had control over. Now, in between high-stakes missions, absurd poetry about Magnus's "greatness," and Ren's growing collection of blackmail material, they're faced with a challenge they can't scheme their way out of: What happens when the teasing stops being a game? And worse-what happens if they can't stop?Complete

The Unexpected
Tanya never believed in fate until the night her world was shattered by blood and betrayal. A simple act of kindness pulled her into Darryl's path - a man with haunting eyes, a hidden past, and scars that told a story darker than midnight. What began as a spark of attraction soon spiraled into something far more dangerous: a love born in chaos, tested by lies, and hunted by enemies who would kill to keep the truth buried. He saved her life once. She exposed his secret twice. Now, both are trapped in a web of deceit that neither of them wove - yet both must escape. Darryl is not the man he claims to be. Beneath the calm charm lies a criminal past tied to a powerful syndicate that has marked him for death. But Tanya is no ordinary woman either. Her brother's mysterious disappearance years ago is connected to the same people Darryl once worked for. As bullets fly and bodies fall, Tanya is forced to choose between the man she loves and the justice she swore to find. Every step closer to the truth uncovers another lie, another betrayal, and another reason to run. When love and danger collide, loyalty is tested, trust becomes a weapon, and survival demands more than courage - it demands sacrifice. In the shadows of crime and passion, Tanya and Darryl will discover that destiny is not written in stars, but in blood, secrets, and choices. And when the final truth comes to light, it will shake everything they thought they knew - because what binds them together is more than love or guilt. It is The Unexpected - a story of love that defies logic, danger that never sleeps, and two hearts that refuse to surrender even when the world turns against them.
