“Help me, please,” Bella pleaded, grasping his hands. His dark eyes, devoid of warmth, pierced through hers with an unsettling coldness. "Why should I mess with those goons to help you?" he asked callously. “I’ll do anything you say,” she said without thinking, desperate. “Just save me from them.” He demanded something that Bella had never anticipated even in her dreams. A contract marriage! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bella Dawn was already in distress to pay her step father’s debts. To add her misery, her mother was diagnosed with liver disease and needed immediate transplant. Where would she get that much money? Then, like a cruel twist of fate, she accidentally encountered a handsome man, Theodore Reid, the enigmatic CEO of Ace Group. Rumors said that he was a ruthless businessman with a heart as cold as ice. Yet, to Bella, he was kind, rescuing her from the clutches of those who sought to exploit her. She was grateful to him until he demanded something weird, shattering her pervious assumptions. He wanted to marry her. No He wanted a contract marriage. In exchange, he would take care of her mother's treatment and compensate her generously at the end of their arrangement. For Theodore, it was a solution born out of necessity, a means to appease his grandfather's demands for an heir while he searched for the one who had once saved him, his angel. Bella’s appearance reminded him of his savior. So, he offered her a contract marriage. It was a temporary solution to his grandfather’s demand to get an heir until he found his angel. With no other options left, Bella reluctantly agreed to the terms of the contract. But little did she know it would test her resolve and resilience like never before. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ “Remember one thing, never fall in love with me,” he said, cold and dangerous. Bella gulped, nervous. “What if I do?” A sliver of defiance, a foolish question escaped her lips. She was already attracted to his handsome appearance. He squeezed her jaw and hissed, “You will regret it.” “What if you started liking me?” she dared to ask. He leaned closer, his breath warm against her ear. "No chance," he scoffed. "You're not my type." Bella’s heart sank. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You can check my other books.

The Arcanum Helix Institute, a world-class research organization, was established by the leaders of the United World Authority with the goal of creating a military unit comprised of genetically enhanced humans. However, their first experiment went catastrophically wrong, resulting in the destruction of an entire town. In response, the institute shifted its focus to using children as test subjects, leading to widespread abductions and the creation of an elite military unit known as the New Generation. Deprived of their memories, the members of the New Generation were conditioned to follow strict orders without question, becoming obedient instruments of the United World Authority. This remained the status quo until Johan's last assignment, which led to him to question his circumstances, triggering a recovery of his lost memories. As the truth about the institute and the New Generation's true purpose dawned on him, Johan became a target for termination by the institute. Now, Johan stands alone against the formidable forces of the institute and the otherworldly powers backing them, determined to uncover the secrets surrounding his past and the New Generation's existence.

I transmigrated into the body of Zara Voss, the most hated woman in a web novel. Cold empress. Scheming villainess. Dead by chapter three.   Fine. I know the story. I know every move the plot makes. All I have to do is survive it.   Except the system tells me something nobody is supposed to know: the saintly, beloved heroine of this story is also a transmigrator. And she has been rewriting this plot for years before I arrived.   Her name in the real world was Lena. My best friend. The girl I watched die the same night I did.   She built this world around herself like a throne. She made herself untouchable. She gave the most powerful man in the empire, the cold and terrifying Crown Prince Cael, every reason to love her and every reason to destroy me.   But Lena did not bring me here by accident. She brought me here because she is trapped. Because the story she rewrote has become a cage she cannot escape alone. And the only person who has ever known her well enough to find the lock is me.   Now I am standing in the middle of her empire, wearing the face of the villain she built to take the fall, falling for the prince she designed to hate me, and trying to save the girl who might not want to be saved.

What begins as a secret arrangement born from power and privilege soon twists into something far more dangerous. Beneath Angus’s arrogance lies a growing obsession neither of them can deny, and beneath Freye’s silence awakens a strength she never knew she possessed. But in a society where love across the divide is forbidden, every stolen touch is a risk… every secret a threat.

Kai Muren doesn't hunt demons. He doesn't cultivate power or chase immortality. He writes obituaries. For people who haven't died yet. The moment his pen touches the page, the universe reads it. And the universe always finishes what it starts. For eleven years he's worked alone — no teacher, no order, no explanation. Just names that appear in his notebook overnight, and three days to finish each story before the ink fades and someone dies incomplete. Then a stranger breaks into his apartment at 5am with a dead man's notebook, his mother's name on the last page, and sixty hours before the pattern completes. For the first time, Kai has to do something he's never done: stop one. The Last Obituary Writer is a dark fantasy psychological thriller about death, memory, and the stories we leave unfinished — and the one man tasked with finishing them.
