Falling For The Man I Was Meant To Ruin

Adrian Vale was supposed to have it all—a billion-dollar empire, a bride who loved him, and a legacy carved in his name. He was kind, trusting, and believed loyalty meant something. Until he was betrayed and lost everything on the day that was suppose to be the happiest day of his life. Adrian stood at the altar and watched his fiancée walk into his brother’s arms, the same brother who stole his birthright in front of everyone, and from that day on, the gentle heir died. What emerged was a man forged in ice and fury. Years later, Adrian rebuilt himself into something far more powerful than what was stolen from him. He became the predator in every boardroom, the nightmare his enemies whispered about, and the man who trusted no one and needed nothing. His life was perfectly controlled, he was cold, calculating, and completely alone, with no weakness, or love, and he stop giving people second chances. Then Elena Marlowe walked into his world. She had warm eyes that saw past his walls, a genuine smile that made him feel almost human again, and an innocence that didn’t belong anywhere near a man like him. She didn’t run when he pushed her away. She didn’t break when he was cruel. What Adrian doesn’t know? Elena was sent to destroy him. Planted by his enemies to become his weakness, to slip past every defense he’d built, to make him feel again—so they could rip it all away. And what Elena doesn’t know? She’s the weapon. And she has no idea she’s being used. When the man who vowed never to love again meets the woman designed to break him, the line between revenge and redemption begins to blur. He starts feeling things he swore he’d buried forever. She starts seeing the wounded man beneath the monster. But when the truth comes out—when Adrian discovers the one person who made him believe in love again was sent to ruin him—will he become the villain everyone feared? Or will she be the only one who can save them both? In a world built on betrayal, can two broken people find something worth fighting for?

The Chef and The Crowned Omega

Elara Hale is many things. An art historian for the Crown. A devoted wife. A mother. And the reigning Omega of England’s werewolves. But the truth is, she leads MI6’s Anti-Paranormal Response Division, hunting dark sorcerers and terrorist cells that use corrupted magic to destabilise nations. By blood, she stands above every alpha in the country — sovereign, untouchable, and bound by ancient law to bear only one daughter who will one day inherit the throne. There is only one problem. Her husband has absolutely no idea. Thomas Hale is a celebrated London chef who believes the most dangerous thing in his life is over-reducing a sauce. He knows his wife works for the Crown. He knows important people attend her “promotion dinners.” He even suspects London politics are stranger than they appear. He just doesn’t realise half the guests bow to her. Or that the monsters congratulating him at his restaurant aren’t being polite — they’re acknowledging their Queen’s consort. For six years, their marriage has been built on warmth, humour, and carefully maintained secrets. Until the impossible happens. Elara is crowned beneath a hidden veil at Stonehenge, her hair turning gunmetal silver as ancient magic recognises her sovereignty. The supernatural world shifts. Alphas lower their eyes. Foreign powers take notice. And then she becomes pregnant. An Omega can only bear one daughter. Their daughter Ellie is the only one that knows the truth about her parents and is the monster princess of the United Kingdom. Elara is carrying twins. Two sons. A miracle that should not exist. Across London, the Ashen Dominion — dark sorcerers who corrupt souls to wield black magic — begin testing the Crown’s defences. Other empires treat monsters as weapons. Rumours spread that an ancient mage bloodline may have resurfaced. Because their daughter, Ellie, has already done the impossible. She holds affinity for every element. While Elara fights to keep monsters and humans from open war, Thomas continues to cook, love, and quietly anchor the most dangerous woman in England — But she never realising the power in his blood, and the world changing power him and he's family poses. In a world of hidden kingdoms, sovereign magic, and political intrigue, love may be the most destabilising force of all. Because some queens rule through fear. Elara rules through restraint. And when restraint breaks, empires fall.

INFINITE CONTRACT SYSTEM

[System Notification: Reality Error Detected at Node 001 (Earth).] [Analyzing Candidate... 99.9% Compatibility Found.] [Position Offered: Maintenance Administrator.] *** Lee Joon-Ha was a ghost. A twenty-three-year-old part-timer in Busan with a face that could move mountains, but a bank account that couldn't buy a single meal. In a world of flashing neon and mindless consumption, he was the silent observer—disciplined, invisible, and utterly alone. Then, the world glitched. For 0.3 seconds, the sky didn't sparkle; it tore. Beneath the stars lay a digital grid, a cosmic error that only Joon-Ha witnessed. While humanity slept through the malfunction, Joon-Ha was recruited by the 'Infinite Contract System' (ICS). The task was simple: Repair dying civilizations and stabilize collapsing realities. The price: Total isolation. The catch: Time dilation. To the world, Joon-Ha only stepped onto his rooftop for two minutes. To Joon-Ha, he spent a year in the freezing silence of a dead galaxy, mastering the golden threads of existence. *** He returns to Earth, but he is no longer the boy from the slums. He has the eyes of an ancient god, the hidden wealth of a multiversal conglomerate, and a body stabilized at peak human perfection. From a semi-basement in Busan to the highest penthouse of 'The Signiel' in Seoul, his ascent is silent and absolute. Under the front of 'Halo Risk Analytics,' he manages the world from the shadows. To the elite, he is a mysterious billionaire. To the National Actress in the penthouse next door, he is the cold-hearted neighbor who refuses to acknowledge her presence. But the glitches are returning. The fabric of Earth is fraying. And as the world begins to crumble, they will realize that the man in the black hoodie isn't just a neighbor. He is the Architect. And the Contract has just begun.
