Betrayed By Husband, Stolen By Brother In Law

Melanie Collins was the perfect wife—caring, strong, and dependable. For the last few years, she had managed her husband’s messy family, and business alone while waiting for her husband to return from studying abroad. But when he finally came back, Melanie’s world fell apart—he wasn’t alone. Along with him was his 'best' friend. Broken and confused about the change in her husband, Melanie didn’t know where to turn. And then she stumbled into another cold reality. Everything she had believed was a lie. Seething with anger and humiliation, as she tried to come to terms with the betrayal, an unexpected person steps into the picture, intent on seducing her and conquering her. The only problem? The man was her ex brother in law... And against her better judgment, she is attracted to this bad boy... But as Melanie tried to make sense of the changes, she discovered there was more going on than she ever imagined. Had both brothers loved really fallen in love with her? Or was she just a pawn in a bigger game? excerpt Since he had already been leaning against the table, he simply slid onto it, and with one swift motion, he hooked his boot around the leg of her chair and pulled it—pulled her—closer.The sudden movement made her jolt slightly, and when she looked up or rather when she looked ahead, she found herself staring directly at the zipper of his jeans... She looked up then and met his gaze. He caught her chin," Would you like to check if I am only pretending, sweet melon?"Melanie stiffened. And then pushed back her chair suddenly, so that Adam almost lost his balance, as she stood up. Before he could balance himself, she placed her hand on his shoulder, her fingers brushing against his neck.  Adam stiffened, his eyes glittering as he waited to see what she would do next. And she, of course surprised him as her other hand, slowly settled on the inside of his thigh. And then, the hand on his shoulder started to move. Her fingers tracing the side of his neck before lifting as she shot a glance to the corner of his mouth. The little piece of metal glinting there. She flicked at it lightly, barely a touch, but Adam could feel the heat all over his body, as she leaned in close, her lips barely a few centimetres away...so that they could both feel each other's breaths… She smiled slowly then. "Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

Falling for my Enemy’s Brother

"Look at me," he said, voice barely above a whisper, like he wasn't just asking her to see him—but to choose him. She did. And oh God. The moment her eyes met his, it was like the floor tilted. His gaze wasn't cold anymore. It wasn't guarded or teasing. It was raw. Fierce. Wrecking. Like he saw through every layer she'd tried to hide. She swallowed hard. Her legs trembled. Her heart betrayed her, pounding so hard against her ribs it seemed like it wanted to break free. Why did his eyes soften like that, as if she was delicate glass, and he'd do anything to keep her from shattering? She swore she was going to melt right there. And he didn't even kiss her. Didn't have to. That one look—his fingers brushing against her skin like he owned the right, it was more than any kiss she'd ever had. More dangerous. More intoxicating. Her lips parted, maybe to speak, maybe to breathe, but nothing came out. Nothing could. The tension between them tightened—thick, electric, blinding. If he moved even an inch, it would be over. But he didn't. And that restraint? That maddening, infuriating, goddamn beautiful control made her want him even more. "Let me handle this," he whispered. "You don't have to trust Conor. Just trust me." Her eyes dropped to his lips. They were so close now she could feel the whisper of his breath. Her heart pounded harder, like it wanted to escape. "Please stop doing that," she murmured. For a fleeting second, nothing moved, then he dropped his hand. His brows drew together. "Doing what?" "Touching me," she whispered. "Especially when you're trying to make a point. You did it in the restroom too." "Why do you think I'm doing that?" he asked, voice husky now, softer. Synopsis: At an elite college, falling for the rich, cold son of a bi-llionaire wasn’t part of the plan, especially when his brother is tied to her mother’s mysterious death. But from the moment Merlina steps onto campus, the chemistry is undeniable. He’s detached, arrogant, and everything she should stay away from. Yet no matter how hard she tries, she can’t ignore the pull. She’s here for a degree, but her real mission is uncovering the secrets of her mother’s past at this very school. As sparks fly between her and the guy she should keep her distance from, she’s torn between two things: exposing the truth and protecting her heart from falling for him. The deeper she digs, the more dangerous things get. Anonymous threats, dark secrets, and a guy who’s starting to think her obsession with the past could ruin everything. When the truth finally breaks free, it threatens everything she’s worked for—the truth, her heart, and the fragile bond she shares with him. With everything at risk, she must choose: expose the truth, or hold on to the one person who makes her feel truly alive.

Shīzōng

"Zhou Hua Fan...Where do you plan to disappear now?" His voice was hoarse and sore thus successfully souring her little red nose. Leaning against the door that he had uncharacteristically pressed his trembling fists against instead of breaking down like he so wanted to in order to see her once more. Biting her lips, Hua Fan buries her face into her already shaking shoulders suppressing her cries. Wiping the endless tears falling into her arms when she continued to hear him plead her so quietly but desperately it tore her up inside. "Do you have to do this? Can't...Can't you let me love you?" The back of her hand was bitten raw as a soft sob broke free upon hearing his plea. ~~~~~~~~ Zhou Hua Fan did not accept other people's love or goodwill. Knowing from a young age that all of it came with strings attached her personality had already twisted before it could be fixed. No one saw it or tried to see it.

However, this princess who should have everything, does she really have it all? When asked this the people around her gave various answers. "She was pitiful." "No one hated her more than herself." "An unfortunate soul." Asked this question, the man with dark clouds permanently gathered above his head sharply raised his dagger-like gaze as if wanting to murder you who dared utter her name without permission. "You have no right to judge her."

The nuisance daughter chased by Mr. black sheep

"Honey." "Don’t you dare." "Darling." "Get lost." "Sweetheart." His head spun, but the grin on his face stayed as foolishly fond as ever. "Light of my life." She slammed the door in his face. A moment later, it creaked open just enough for one glaring eye to peek through. "What do you want now?" He leaned casually against the doorframe, a ridiculous bouquet of dandelions—yes, weeds—held behind his back. "To bask in your presence," he said with all the sincerity of a court jester. She narrowed her eyes. "I’m holding a frying pan." "Romantic weapon of choice," he quipped. "Mine’s sarcasm. Together, we’re unstoppable." She opened the door fully, arms crossed, foot tapping. "You’re insufferable." "You’re radiant." "You’re delusional." "You’re breathtaking." "You’re—" she paused, exasperated. "—getting on my last nerve." He stepped closer, completely unfazed. "Ah, but if I’m on your nerves, at least I’m in your system." She blinked. Once. Twice. Then turned and walked away. He followed. Never mind. "What a cute nuisance!" He thought. ____________________________________________________ "A nuisance daughter and a black sheep son. A match made in heaven!"

A Symphony of Ash and Light

In a world scorched by rebellion and shadowed by lost divinity, love dares to rise from the ruins. When mankind defied Heaven, the skies fell in flame. Celestials were sent to silence the uprising, but some angels chose humanity over duty—and paid the price. Cast down and forgotten, the fallen wander a broken world where belief has splintered. Some humans still wield faith as fuel for sacred technology. Others kneel to machine-gods, clinging to rusted circuits and cold logic. And some have given up entirely, hearts closed to both Heaven and hope. Caleb, a reclusive musician with a quiet strength and a haunted past, lives on the edges of this fractured society. His melodies carry the ache of a world that’s lost its rhythm—until one song stirs something watching in the dark. Seriah, a fallen angel once radiant and resolute, now lives in exile, her once-pure light tempered by sorrow. Aloof, enigmatic, and attuned to celestial harmony, she’s drawn to Caleb—not just by his music, but by a strange familiarity that defies reason. Their meeting sparks a chain of events written in forbidden scripture: "A dark star burning bright and a mockingbird shall sing a new world into being." But prophecies are rarely so simple—and never without cost. As ancient factions war over the soul of the world, Caleb and Seriah find themselves hunted by zealots, worshippers of false gods, and a corrupted archangel who once called Seriah kin. This archangel—twisted by grief, pride, and the belief that he must become a new Creator—sees their union as both threat and opportunity. He will guide, test, and betray them in turn, hoping to use their path to reshape reality. Bound by love, haunted by the past, and caught in a war between Heaven’s remnants and humanity’s future, Caleb and Seriah must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice for each other—and for a world that no longer believes in miracles. Because in a world of ash, only light born of love might bring balance.
