The Study Contract

The Study Contract

It all started with that one proposal, a deal-turned-bait pulling him into something dark, yet irresistible and inescapable. ____ Ryan Kane is mixed-race, poor, and worst still, in a university where everything screams "silver and gold". He thinks his scholarship and education are his only way to a future better than his present. But this guy's grades aren't helping matters as he keeps juggling between lectures, attendance, and part-time jobs. The lower his grades get, the closer he is to withdrawing, going back to his deadbeat of a father, and having a life with nothing. Well, he absolutely doesn't want a reality like that, and to avert that, his only option was getting a tutor. Ryan’s desperate enough to ask Adrian Val. On campus and to everyone, Adrian is the perfect, well-behaved, brilliant heir to a top conglomerate family. While in private, he is a possessive, manipulative jerk who does a lot of unimaginable things. When Ryan proposes tutoring to him, Adrian offers that he pay with his body instead. To him, Ryan can't afford his time and knowledge with just his measly bucks. Ryan says yes to the offer, and along the line, he falls heavily for Adrian. But even when Adrian rejects his confession and treats him like a toy way worse than before, Ryan doesn't leave. He wants the tutoring, the intimacy, the sex, his persistent feelings for Adrian, and the tiny hope that Adrian's heart may steer towards him. It gets even messier when Adrian’s friend Liam enters the picture. Liam is calm, kind, and actually cares about Ryan, but he holds back his feelings to keep the peace. Then there is also Chase, a rich troublemaker who openly flirts with Ryan. Trapped in a dirty cycle of sex, love, and heartbreak, everything Ryan had and held dear to him came tumbling gradually. And by the time he realizes the depth of it, it is too late. Too late to even hold onto anything. Only to be caught between three powerful men who all want a piece of him for different reasons. ____ Years later, the campus gates are closed and Ryan has built a life for himself away from the shadows of Westhill. But his new career brings him face to face with the man that once broke him...

Mafia Schoolgirl Wants to Study In Peace

Mafia Schoolgirl Wants to Study In Peace

She is the leader of the Mafia, the youngest leader in the Underworld, and the only female godfather in the world. Moreover, she was only 20 years old! Nina, who had reached the top, was tired of living in the underworld. She wanted to return to peace, to study, to become an elegant and knowledgeable woman. Thus, she decided to quit the Mafia and enter the most famous school through connections. However, the winds of trouble never stopped. Without Nina around, the Mafia was plagued with internal and external troubles and all kinds of crises. ""Godfather, please leave the mountain. If you don't, our organization will be destroyed."" Her former subordinate found her. Nina said, "Get lost. Can't you see that I'm studying? I have piano lessons tonight. I'm not free." ""Godfather, please come out of retirement. The new Mafia does not respect us. They are too much and have taken away our business.” A large number of subordinates knelt and begged. ""Get out,"" said Nina. ‘Can't you see I’m in class? If you delay my studies, I'll kill you both.’ To make Nina leave, thousands of gang members came to the school on time every day to clock in and beg Nina to leave. Instantly, the school was in an uproar. The principal could not sit still anymore. If this continued, the school would be ruined. Hence, he went to Nina personally and said, "Nina, it's important. Studying is just a small matter. It's not too late to run the gang before coming to school." The form teacher said, "Nina, studying is not an important thing. It doesn't matter if you don't study. If you have something to do, I can approve your leave. Is half a year enough? If not, a year is fine too."

The Real Daughter Just Wants to Catch Ghosts and Not Study

The Real Daughter Just Wants to Catch Ghosts and Not Study

# REALANDFAKEYOUNGLADY # PHILOSOPHY Lu Ming was the Lu family’s real daughter who had been taken to the wrong home after she was born. She was brought home by her birth parents when she was seventeen years old. Her birth parents watched how she lived in the countryside, growing vegetables and raising chickens and ducks. There wasn’t even a rice cooker in the house. She even had to chop firewood outside to use on the stove outside to make fire. They almost burst into tears at the hard life their daughter was living. The Lu family couple wanted to make up for how miserable Lu Ming’s life was, and immediately turned on their phone to transfer money to her, wanting to give her a better life. However, they didn’t know that Lu Ming was a Celestial Master. Her favorite thing to do every day was to catch ghosts. All the things they saw, Lu Ming actually only needed to insert a little spiritual energy into some paper talismans and they would do all her chores, while she simply lay down and enjoyed life. What's more, they didn’t know that Lu Ming’s backpack had Hell’s master in it, chasing her to collect debt every day. The return of the Lu family’s real daughter was a big event. Others had already set up their seats and bought food and drinks to munch on in anticipation of the drama of the real and fake daughter fight. However, they didn’t expect the main actors to not even appear on stage, but saw pictures that they thought to be completely unreasonable. For example, the fake daughter, Lu Xian, stopped Lu Ming after a quiz. Onlookers: “They’re going to fight! Yes! Hurry up and bring out the popcorn!”But in the next second, Lu Xian, who was a top student, said, “You failed chemistry this time. Come to my room tonight, I’ll tutor you!” The poor student, Lu Ming: “???” Asking her to study? They might as well kill her! Onlookers: “...Why is it different from what we were promised?!”
