Two hidden dimensions. Two corporate empires. One fracturing cosmic balance.
To the high society of Milan, Seraphina Vane is just a pretty face-a sheltered banking heiress drifting through exclusive boutiques and hospital operating theatres.
To the corporate elite of Neldor, Valerius Sterling is a ruthless, cold-blooded billionaire governed strictly by logic.
They despise each other before they even meet.
But behind their human masks lies a deadly reality. He is the solitary King of Darkness, commanding an abyssal underworld. She is 'The Princess,' a lethal assassin executing rogue threats-unaware her soul carries the sealed memories of the ancient Queen of Light.
By day, they are trapped in a bitter, arranged marriage of convenience. By night, they are fierce rivals who cross blades in the dark, hunting the exact same blood bounties.
They expected their vows to be a silent shield to protect their secrets. Instead, their forced proximity unleashes a volatile friction that turns their deadly midnight warfare into a dangerous obsession.
The truth won't just shatter their marriage. It will rupture the Veil, bleed the dimensions, and burn both their worlds to absolute ashes.

The Vard's woman
You live in a world you know - until one day the world spits you out onto the doorstep of another. Lisa Martínez from Seville never believed in ancient prophecies. A landscape architect who lost her father to mysterious excavations and her fiancé to the chaos of a breakup, she is just trying to survive the grey routine of everyday life. But when she unlocks her father's old notes, the ground beneath her feet shatters. She awakens in Kal'Aros - a world without electricity, without the internet, without rules. Here time has frozen in the age of flint and bone, and strength is the only truth. Men hunt, women are possessions, and outsiders are either slaves or sacrifices. The Vard tribe captures her. Their leader, Kaleb, looks at her like a riddle that might bring power or doom. The huntress Ruka hates her on instinct. The shaman Senor whispers words Lisa cannot understand: "You are the Awakened One." To survive, Lisa must learn the language of this world - not just the words, but the laws of blood, tradition, and fear. She doesn't have a warrior's muscles, but she has a mind trained to solve problems and a heart that refuses to kneel. As an ancient prophecy rises like a storm and enemies surround the tribe from all sides, Lisa discovers something more dangerous than battles and monsters: love for a man who doesn't know the word "no," and a choice that could shatter two worlds. She can go back to Seville. Or she can stay - and change Kal'Aros forever. But change never comes without blood.Complete

Meeting You Again
Tariq continued gazing at her, observing how she looked when she woke up. Her hair was slightly tousled behind her back, and he felt an itch inside to rub her head and mess up her hair even more. Her clothing was slightly messy, and it was riding up stomach, while her cheeks were colored with a faint pink tint. Her brown eyes were wide, staring at him in shock. He really wanted to laugh right now...how can someone look so cute? Alas, Tariq knew if he started laughing now maybe all the progress he made with Ayla would fly out the window due to him embarrassing her too much. He held his laughter in and sat up with a force, bringing his face close to Ayla's suddenly. "I fell asleep. Why, are you the only one allowed to sleep while watching a show?" He took the time while speaking to fix Ayla's clothes, ruffle her hair, and immediately stood up to go to the restroom. If he stayed there any longer, staring at Ayla's bunny-like expressions, he didn't think he could handle it anymore. He was all ready to be a big bad wolf. ------------------------------------ In a chance meeting at a cafe, Ayla and Tariq's love story begins, sparked by a blind date arranged by their elders. Gradually, they fall in love and are ready to leave their painful pasts behind, but scary discoveries intervene.

Can they break free from their villainous roles, outwit the original characters, and secure the happy ending they both deserve? Join them in their journey filled with twists and turns as they strive to reclaim their love. This is a story mainly about love, with repeated ideology of overcoming the past and past struggles. The past may be already written, but what's stopping you from using that as a lesson, and changing your future? You surely won't be disappointed!
I Chose the General
A carriage accident almost took her life just because of the rumors of her suitability to be the new concubine of the young Emperor. Oh no...Risei doesn't want to be trapped within palace walls and get involved with the harem nor does she want to be a mere puppet in her father's hands. So if she had to choose between the powerful young Emperor and the bloodthirsty General, whom would she chose?????.........the General of course. Note - Ok so I am a bit of k drama and c drama fan especially historical dramas so this may contain some elements of them but nothing is actually logically or based strictly on a specific country or culture or anything. There are even some English names given to the characters because I couldn't come up with any other ones. Settings, names and characters are all based on my imagination so not specific to any actually existing places or persons. This is my work alone. Hope the story will be enjoyable.Complete
The Atonement of a Writer
Lilianne Marineau, aka Lili, a struggling writer like you and me, wakes up to find herself in the body of Arielle Dumont, the female protagonist in her own, half-written novel. What would happen next? She sure as hell doesn't know. At first, all Lili wants to do is survive, and is overcome with the feeling that she had been bound by chains of her own making. Soon enough, though, she realizes she had been atoning for the wrong thing--and maybe, just maybe it was not her fault. A story of a writer who has to live as a character in a world she hasn't quite fully developed yet. A terrible writer with terrible concepts of magic in a fantasy world--and yes, there are glitches. TW: anxiety/depression/existential crisis esp in the earlier chapters, but quite mild, nothing we all haven't experienced before (I think anyone would reasonably panic in MC's situation). Still overall fairly lightheartedComplete
The Wallflower And The Wolf
In the glittering, ruthless world of London high society, the safest place to be is invisible. Lady Eleanor "Nora" of Stratford has perfected the art of hiding in plain sight. As a quiet, unremarkable wallflower, she spends her evenings blending into the velvet curtains, safely out of reach of scandalous rakes and matchmaking mothers. Her only true torment is Julian, the Duke of Blackwood. As her brother's fiercely brooding best friend, the Duke is a notorious tyrant of decorum who makes it his personal mission to police Eleanor's every move, bow, and breath. But a masquerade ball offers a rare taste of freedom. Hidden behind a delicate silver fox mask, the demure wallflower completely vanishes, replaced by a witty, sharp-tongued siren. When she is swept into a breathless waltz by a towering stranger in a gilded wolf mask, Eleanor makes a fatal, scandalous mistake: she accidentally insults the dreadful Duke of Blackwood to the stranger's face. She thinks her secret is safe. She is terribly, wonderfully wrong. Beneath the gold wolf mask is Julian himself. And rather than being outraged by her defiance, the stoic Duke is utterly captivated. Having spent three agonizing years suppressing a fierce, fiercely protective obsession for his best friend's little sister, Julian realizes the cunning woman beneath the mask is exactly the prize he has been waiting for. When the sun rises, the Duke's pristine restraint completely snaps. He refuses to let his Fox retreat back into the shadows. Now, Eleanor must navigate a treacherous social season where the most dangerous predator in London is no longer protecting her from afar-he is actively, relentlessly hunting her heart. And this is one Wolf who plays for keeps.Complete![Avoid The Lead! [[COMPLETED]]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/364234164-256-k175270.jpg)
