Luo Qiao decided to give back to her fans with a lucky draw. Haters, ""Hehe, I don't care! Who doesn't have money?"" Luo Qiao, ""Comment on this Weibo post and I will choose someone to send them this piece of property."" Haters, ""???"" Luo Qiao and the top male celebrity went on variety shows. Haters, ""Hur hur, Luo Qiao is throwing herself at our idol again! Shameless!"" The next day, the media revealed that the President of the Ming Corporation, who had been trending on trending topics because of his freakish looks, was Luo Qiao's ex-boyfriend whom she had kicked out long ago… Haters, ""???""

Lee Seong-jun, ascending to the position of the Demon God that made even the divine realm tremble in fear, had grasped everything. The reverence of countless people beyond measure, wealth in gold and silver that couldn't be exhausted in a lifetime, and absolute power that could change the map of the continent with a single word. 'But they're all false.' People merely pretended to revere him, offered sacrifices, and bowed their heads only to protect their own interests and vested rights. There was no one who truly became 'his ally' without expecting anything in return, like his family. 'It seems I have everything, but in the end, I have nothing.' That's why he will return. To Earth, which he had longed for a long time, to the embrace of his precious family. He will correct his past incompetent and foolish actions and seek out what true happiness is.

Hi! I am Scarlet. A girl searching for a new beginning after losing two people that I love. Moving to another place and running away from my past that haunted me was the only solution I could think of to survive. However, fate had another plan arranged for me. My life turned more complicated when I met them, Daniel and Nathan. I was not supposed to fall for him, but I did. There was no turning my back on love. Daniel and Nathan were total opposites. Although they were both successful in their own rights, they still possessed different characteristics that made them attractive in their own way. Daniel was the ideal man to love because of his similarity to my brother, Harry. Smart, down to earth, and with a gentle heart. While Nathan was the man to avoid, I could not entrust my heart to him despite the strong attraction we shared. A rich, manipulative and arrogant womanizer. Which one should I choose? Would entering a relationship help me move on from my past? Would our love be stronger than the obstacles in our path? Should I dare hope that I would have a happy ever after? Please give Scarlet a chance. Let her tell you her story. Add her to your reading list. Enjoy. But, what if… something in her past was the key to her future. -------------- "I told you before, I'm now with Daniel," I uttered with conviction, trying to convince him. "I told you that you're making a mistake of stringing Daniel along," he insisted. “It is clear that Daniel is falling for you, but I know you don’t feel the same. He is a good man, and what you’re doing with Daniel would only end badly." "Nathan, let me go," I said angrily, not wanting to be near him. "I don't know what you’re talking about, and you had no business with my affair with Daniel," I emphasized irritably. He released my left hand and gripped my jaw instead, forcing my head up. I tried to push him with my free hand but to no avail. "I'm talking about this." He lowered his head and claimed my lips in a punishing kiss. My mind was fighting not to respond with the onslaught of his mouth, but my body wanted the opposite. He pressed his body even closer than I ever thought possible, molding every inch of my body with his. I felt myself opening up to him, and he took advantage of this and plunged his tongue with mine. I became super aware of every contact of our skin. He adjusted his hands at the back of my nape and the other at my lower back, giving him more control of my body as his kisses became more demanding. My hands started having a mind of their own and began their exploration. I could feel the solid muscles in his arms and shoulders. My hand ended up in the back of his neck, clinging to him for support, as his hands started exploring my back. He slowly broke the kiss, both of us panting, trying to catch our breaths. I never felt like this before, this intense need to be kissed, to be touch. It exhilarated and frightened me at the same time. Why did I react like this to this man? I barely knew him, and I was not even sure if I like him. "I want you and you want me too.” He stated confidently taking my lips again for a rough kiss, and I welcomed it with a hunger I could not deny. I placed my hands on the back of his neck and pulled him closer. "The way you kissed and responded to my touch tells me how much you wanted this too." Finally, he released me and moved a step back. "That just proven my point. How can you go out with Daniel and just made out with me with such passion? Did you respond to his kiss the way you did to mine?" -------------- Thanks for supporting my book by adding it to your library, voting, gifts, to my top fans, and giving your feedback.
