forty six standoff

“Even if this universe is truly nothing more than a brutal, bloody, shadowy forest, we Cultivators will burn all that we have just to give off a single weak flickering spark in the darkness! “No matter how weak each spark is, how short-lived, how small… As long as the sparks flow unabated, then one day one of those sparks will light some tinder, and that tinder shall light some fallen branches, and those branches shall set ablaze each and every last tree of the forest! “In the end, even the smallest sparks will eventually set the shadowy forest ablaze and illuminate the whole world!” ------ ** Qidian International and the former translator, Mr. Strivon, have reached an agreement to buy out the chapters and host them on our site.

He was forbidden. My brother's best friend. Also the most dangerous man in the country. And I signed myself over to him. Leah Thorne had one rule: stay away from Dimitri Valentino. It shouldn't have been difficult. He was ruthless, feared, and devastatingly beautiful in the way that only truly dangerous things are. The kind of man who owned nightclubs, commanded armies, and made grown men weep with a single look. The kind of man her brother Mike trusted with his life. The kind of man she had absolutely no business wanting. But one shattered marriage, one bottle of whiskey, and one catastrophically bad decision later, Leah wakes up in Dimitri's bed with a signed contract on the nightstand and six months of her life no longer her own. Her body. His rules. No exceptions. The contract is iron-clad, the penalty clause suffocating — fifty million dollars she doesn't have. And Dimitri Valentino, the Wolf of the Italian underworld, has absolutely no intention of letting her go. He says he'll ruin her for other men. He's not lying. Because beneath the cold control and the thousand-dollar suits is a man who has wanted her for seven sinful years — who has memorized the curve of her smile, the sound of her laugh, and exactly how to take her apart piece by piece until the only word left in her vocabulary is his name. Eve came to him broken, looking to feel wanted. She never expected to feel owned. She never expected to love it. Six Months Contract With The Mafia God is a scorching dark romance about forbidden hunger, dangerous obsession, and the catastrophic moment a good girl stops running from the wolf who has always been hunting her. Some contracts change everything. Some men are worth the fine print.

After Sophia’s engagement party, her sister and her fiancé drugged her and dumped her into another man’s bed. That night, the cruel truth unraveled before Sophia’s eyes. Her mother’s death was no accident. Her sister and her fiancé had been betraying her all along. And her father—hungry for the company’s profits—actually agreed to sell Sophia off to a filthy old man. They thought Sophia would break. They thought she would surrender. But Sophia refused. Even if it shattered her into pieces, she would escape. On the run, Sophia grabbed a dangerously handsome stranger as her antidote. One reckless night later, she walked away broke and secretly “borrowed” six hundred dollars from him. What she didn’t expect was to end up pregnant—with six genius babies. Years later, Sophia returned in glory, determined to take revenge. But while she was busy settling old scores, her six genius kids secretly found their father… The most powerful, untouchable CEO in the country. From then on, the six little matchmakers teamed up to help their CEO daddy win Sophia’s heart…

Après ma fête de fiançailles, ma sœur et mon fiancé m'ont droguée et m'ont jetée dans le lit d'un autre homme. Cette nuit-là, la cruelle vérité s'est dévoilée devant mes yeux : La mort de ma mère n'était pas un accident. Ma sœur et mon fiancé me trahissaient depuis le début. Et mon père — affamé par les profits de l'entreprise — avait accepté de me vendre à un vieil homme répugnant. Ils pensaient que je craquerais. Ils pensaient que j'abandonnerais. Mais j'ai refusé. Même si cela me brisait en morceaux, je m'échapperais ! En fuyant, j'ai attrapé un étranger dangereusement séduisant comme antidote. Une nuit imprudente plus tard, je suis partie sans le sou après lui avoir secrètement « emprunté » six cents dollars. Ce que je n'avais pas prévu, c'était de tomber enceinte — de six bébés génies. Des années plus tard, je suis revenue en gloire, déterminée à me venger. Mais pendant que j'étais occupée à régler mes comptes, mes six enfants génies ont secrètement trouvé leur père... le PDG le plus puissant et intouchable du pays. Dès lors, les six petits entremetteurs ont fait équipe pour aider leur papa PDG à conquérir le cœur de maman...

Il était interdit. Le meilleur ami de mon frère. Également l'homme le plus dangereux du pays. Et je me suis livrée à lui. Leah Thorne avait une seule règle : rester loin de Dimitri Valentino. Cela n'aurait pas dû être difficile. Il était impitoyable, craint et d'une beauté dévastatrice comme seules les choses véritablement dangereuses peuvent l'être. Le genre d'homme qui possédait des boîtes de nuit, commandait des armées et faisait pleurer des hommes adultes d'un seul regard. Le genre d'homme à qui son frère Mike confiait sa vie. Le genre d'homme qu'elle n'avait absolument aucune raison de désirer. Mais après un mariage brisé, une bouteille de whisky et une décision catastrophiquement mauvaise, Leah se réveille dans le lit de Dimitri avec un contrat signé sur la table de nuit et six mois de sa vie qui ne lui appartiennent plus. Son corps. Ses règles. Sans exceptions. Le contrat est inébranlable, la clause de pénalité étouffante — cinquante millions de dollars qu'elle ne possède pas. Et Dimitri Valentino, le Loup du monde souterrain Italien, n'a absolument pas l'intention de la laisser partir. Il dit qu'il va la ruiner pour les autres hommes. Il ne ment pas. Car sous le contrôle froid et les costumes à mille dollars se trouve un homme qui l'a désirée pendant sept années pécheresses — qui a mémorisé la courbe de son sourire, le son de son rire, et exactement comment la défaire pièce par pièce jusqu'à ce que le seul mot qui reste dans son vocabulaire soit son nom. Ève est venue à lui brisée, cherchant à se sentir désirée. Elle ne s'attendait jamais à se sentir possédée. Elle ne s'attendait jamais à aimer ça. Six Months Contract With The Mafia God est une romance sombre et brûlante sur la faim interdite, l'obsession dangereuse, et le moment catastrophique où une fille sage cesse de fuir le loup qui l'a toujours chassée. Certains contrats changent tout. Certains hommes valent bien les petites lignes.

Not everyone is interested in saving the world, and not everyone is expected to fall in love. When Xueyao, the weakest blue dragon you can think of — is burdened with saving the Immortal Realm after crash-landing into an ancient god, a Black Dragon with the most arrogant and dismissive attitude more suited for a demon, and is proclaimed his tribulation guardian, she must either become a hero… or die trying. He avoided his responsibilities for one hundred thousand years, ushering in an apocalypse that he and his chosen must now wrestle through five deadly tribulations to stop. But maybe not every immortal is content living in a world without fire and brimstone. Slaying dimensional beasts and uncovering ancient secrets alongside forgotten memories, love or romance should have no place in the quest to save a doomed world. Or so they thought. Watch as a weak immortal dragon fights to save the world, and an irresponsible god, believed to be beyond saving, struggles to protect the one thing he cares for the most. ‎ ‎A tragic Xianxia romance of dragons, gods, and mortals, where love itself becomes the ultimate tribulation. | Please read the author's note at the end of the first chapters before deciding to read further.| | original and not a translated work! | | exclusive only on webnovel, under the pen name: manifest020. |
