Year 2056, in a city in the Yuan Jiang Su Jin area. On top of a ruined, shattered six story residential apartment sits a teenager wearing a combat vest, militaristic trousers, and alloyed battle boots. On his back is a hexagonal shield and equipped is a blood-shadow battle knife. He sits there silently on the edge of the roof. At this time, the sparkling sky was shining and there was a refreshing breath within the air that blew towards him. However, there was only silence within the ruined, deserted city, with an occasional howl that makes your heart skip a beat.
Twenty-eight year old Delilah Sterling, has perfected the art of being a respectable realtor by day, and a professional gold digger by night.
Delilah believes she has her double life under control. Her meticulously crafted life crumbles when she wakes up one morning with a wedding band on her finger, a marriage certificate on the table, and a sinfully gorgeous man claiming to be her husband.
To make matters worse, he is broke and jobless, making her feel trapped in a surreal nightmare.
Desperate for escape, Delilah demands a divorce, but the stranger—insisting he wants to stay married—thwarts every attempt.
Frustration and confusion mount until Delilah hatches a new plan: she proposes they team up to con her next target, the elusive billionaire, Hunter Quinn.
What Delilah doesn't realize is that her "broke husband" is actually Hunter Quinn himself.
Billionaire CEO, Hunter Quinn,
having discovered Delilah’s intentions to con him, had decided to outplay her at her own game.
Hunter agrees to the partnership, and together they plunge into a high-stakes game of deceit. As they plot and scheme, the lines between pretense and reality blur.
Their forced proximity ignites an unexpected chemistry, leading to moments of vulnerability and genuine connection neither anticipated.
Caught in a whirlwind of deception, passion, and power plays, Delilah grapples with their growing feelings. As their con deepens, she must confront the ultimate question: Can she open her heart to love and trust again?
****Exerpt****
Delilah’s eyes darted to the marriage certificate again, the official seal glaring back at her. Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything.
“I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.”
Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it.
“Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture.
Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her.
“How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.”
“It was a wild night,” he said softly.
Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder.
There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster.
Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom.
Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded.
“I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence.
Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze.
Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief.
Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.”
“You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in.
“How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced.
“I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed.

Eric Crown rushed into the hospital, carrying the injured woman mindful of the fact that she is heavily pregnant. He left his assistant Andrew behind, who was trying to catch up with him.
Andrew had tried to carry the woman from Eric but he refused to allow him or even allowed his driver touch her.
""Somebody help me" Eric immediately alarmed the hospital nurse at the reception immediately he entered with the injured woman.
The emergency staff and nurses ran to him immediately seeing the injured woman in Eric's arms.
Doctor what can be done for her Eric asked she is so seriously injured.
We have to get the baby out of her first, the doctor replied assessing her injuries. We will try to save her life, I hope the baby is still alive the doctor added.
What! Eric exclaimed shock.
Take her to the operating theatre the doctor instructedthe emergency personnel there.
The nurses and emergency staff put her on a hospital stretcher, and started wheeling her to the operation theatre.
A nurse came with some papers for Eric to sign, he didn't even look at them he just signed.
Dr. Robert, the medical director of the hospital was already informed of Eric's coiming. He just got to Eric at this time and asked who the woman involved in the accident was?
Eric, still in shock with blood all over his shirt and trousers turned to Dr. Robert puzzled. What does that have to do with anything ?
Dr. Robert was surprised by Eric's answer. Mr. Crown, I wanted to know if she was a family member he explained.
No, I don't know her. She was hit by my car and we just rushed her here.
Dr. Robert has known Eric for a long time, well known for his compassion and charity work but he never get emotionally involved. From the look on Eric's face, Dr. Robert felt there can only be one explanation then asked "were you driving" ?
No, my driver was Eric answered.
I see, you don't need to wait. Be rest assured we will take good care of her, it's just that from what I have seen she is in a critical condition.
How critical Eric asked Dr. Robert.
She might not survive Dr.Robert answered heavily, we were all quiet until a nurse came and told Dr. Robert they were ready for him at the operating theatre, he left with the nurse.
She can't die, she cannot die Eric told himself. He felt this strong sense of attachment to her. Why is he feeling like this? As if, as if we have met before he thought.
Sir, sir. sir? Andrew called out, touching Eric's shoulder lightly.
Eric don't know how long he stood there but he suddenly realized Andrew was calling out to him.
Sir, you need to change, there is a rest room over there Andrew said holding a change of clothes for him and pointing toward the restroom.
Eric just continued to sit there, dazed! The incident playing over and over again in his mind. How come she was on the road at this time of the night? He wondered.
She is heavily pregnant, why would any man allow his wife to move around at this time of the night?, and she was alone.
Come to think about it, Eric didn't notice any wedding ring on her he thought, probably he didn't look properly.
Mr. Crown, a nurse called out .
Eric Crown looked up at her wondering when he sat down. Andrew immediately asked her what she wanted
We need to know her name for our records she said
We don't know Andrew answered..
But...
It's an emergency, we had to rush her here, she was already unconscious Andrew explained.
Then Dr. Robert suddenly came out of the Operating theatre, pulling off his face mask. We stood up as he walked toward us, eager for news .
You have a baby girl Dr. Robert said smiling
Me ? Eric asked surprised!

He walks up to Elena. "Long time no see, Elena."
"Good day Darius. It's good to see you after so many years," she says with a smile.

Follow the journey of Elena, a kind-hearted Luna initially chosen by Alpha Darius, who faces rejection and false accusations of infidelity. As she disappears from her pack and rises as Luna of the Silver Howl Pack, she transforms from a timid soul into a resilient force.
*chapter 101 sneak peek
"So, Elena," Sarah drawled, her voice dripping with venom. "Ready to cooperate yet? Ready to accept my son is the heir not yours?"
I squared my shoulders, refusing to show any sign of weakness. "I and my son don't need a position in this Pack, Sarah. Justin doesn't want to be the heir of this Pack but it turns out everyone wants him to be the heir because he doesn't have an evil blood running through him," I declared defiantly. "And you'll never lay a hand on my son."
Sarah's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "Oh, Elena, you're so naïve. And yes, what if my son has an evil blood, he'll never be unlucky as your son was and is," she taunted. "Do you really think you have any say in this? Your son is in my custody now, and you may never see him again."
My heart sank at her words, but I refused to let despair consume me. "You'll regret this, Sarah," I warned, my voice trembling with rage. "If you lay a finger on my son, I'll make sure you pay for it. I'll hunt you down to the ends of the earth if I have to."
Sarah's laughter filled the room, a chilling sound that sent shivers down my spine. "You think you can threaten me, Elena? I'm so so scared. Please don't hurt my son, Elena," she sneered. "You're nothing but a pawn in my game. And soon, you'll be nothing at all, just like your son."
But I refused to back down, my determination unyielding. "Mark my words, Sarah," I spat, meeting her gaze with resolve. "You may think you hold all the cards now, but justice will catch up to you eventually. And when it does, you'll regret every moment you spent tormenting my son and me. I just warn you now, play stupid games with me but not with my son. Don't forget you have a son too. An eye for an eye."
With that, Sarah's smirk faltered, replaced by a flicker of uncertainty. For a fleeting moment, I glimpsed a hint of fear in her eyes – a crack in her façade of invincibility.
But just as quickly as it appeared, it was gone, replaced by a cold, steely resolve. "We'll see about that, Elena," she hissed, before slamming the door shut behind her, leaving me once again in the suffocating darkness of my captivity.
As the minutes turned into hours, I clung to the flicker of hope burning within me, praying for the day when justice would prevail and my son would be safe in my arms once more.
A man came into the room with a chain.
"Hello missy, I have just got an order to torture you and also rape you," the man said heartlessly as he gave me a cold stare.
"If I was you, I wouldn't do it. Only stupid people would," I sneered.
"Trust me I'm the most stupid," and with that, he flung the chain and it collided with my arm.
I screamed in pain.
He began to unzip his trouser. "You look so beautiful. Can't wait to taste you."
I wouldn't let him do this to me. No. Never.
Just as the man advanced towards me, his intentions clear and my fear reaching a crescendo, the door suddenly burst open with a resounding crash.
SCARLET LOCKWOOD "Yes he wears the trousers but I control the zipper"
With a sly grin on his lips, his eyes locked onto her. "Don't come chasing after me, my dear wife," he warned in a low voice, "unless you're ready to lose your virginity." Her mouth opened to speak, but no words formed, as desire pulsed through her body.

EXCERPT:
"The rest of the guys in the circle began shouting joyfully as the naked ones took away my trouser and panties, took away my pullover and bra all at once hence, I was completely naked on the ground.
All their d**ks became arose, completely stiff, pointing in my direction. I have always loved the sight of dicks with full girth, but these looked ridiculously bigger, and girth than the usual d**ks I have seen and, truth be told, I became fearful for my life.
For a short while, they halted the process and remain stiff like a polo collar, but I was still being held against my will to the ground.
The one holding the staff stood up and walked slowly to where we were with a cup of palm wine still in his hands as he swung in the palm wine in one draught and threw away the cup instantly.
Tonight is one of the blessed nights that we will always want to remember. Let the initiation begins." He announced as he lifted up his hands and gave a short, mirthless laugh. The others wouldn't allow him to stop laughing. They took up the laugh at once except those who were frozen as they kept me pinned in my position.
Before I could blink an eye, I already saw the middle man naked as he quickly came on top of me while the others paved the way for him. Two of the naked guys kept pinning my hands to the ground, and another two did the same to my feet.
The moment I felt his ride inside me, my drunkenness cleared away from my eyes as my eyes stopped turning and I started struggling to overcome all of them, but to no avail. He gave me a slap and slap again and again until I stopped trying and allow him to dangle on me until he was done.
I wouldn't know if the idea was to make me feel pain as the sex wasn't enjoyable, not even for a little. It was full of pain and endurance. He kept swinging faster in a single position and rapid slaps which landed dirty on both of my cheeks as he lifted his head up and opened his horrible stinking mouth only for me to feel him release his white horrible substances inside of me as he slaps his d**ks on my vagina and walked away."

#The Royals: Anna and Williams
Anna was a simple girl, a free spirit and not your usual prim and proper kind-of girl.
While girls her age were busy having tea parties, playing castle and attending debut balls, Annalisa-Jane Jacobs loved to play with children, wear trousers under her gowns and climb rocks.
It didn't help that she was a princess.
She was also stubborn and rebellious; traits she got from her father. And she hated to be confined and controlled even though she was the Princess of Worcestershire Castle.
Annalisa-Jane Jacobs wanted to be wild and free and this went against her father's wishes.
Her parents, the King and Queen of Worchester, thought getting her married would make her act like a woman. They believed that marriage was the solution.
So when his childhood friend, Duke De Beaumont tells him his second son, Williams De Beaumont had returned back from completing his masters abroad in England, the Royal family and the Dukes decides that the young Duke was the perfect match for their daughter Annalise, the Princess.
But here is the problem. The Duke and the Princess hated each other from their first meet.
William was pompous, proud. Arrogant!
Annalisa-Jane was simple, stubborn. Rebellious!
They were bad combinations for each other. They rather kill themselves than to get married.
And seeing that their parents were hell bent on going through with the marriage alliance; thus they made sure to flaunt their parents plans, get them angry, do un-royal-like things just so they cancel the wedding.
It was a ‘’ruin it’’ or ‘’run-away’’ plan if it doesn’t work out. Their hate for each other was evident.
But there is one thing as strong as hate -which is love, especially when they did not see it happening. Not Ever!!!!
Set in recent times and having an ambience of classic royal family politics, unknown enemies and a bust of unexpected turns, the Royals: Anna and Williams takes us on a journey of hate and eventual love; without restrictions to foul language even in their thick Worcestershire accent, raw unfiltered desires and mixed emotions that would get you laughing, angry, giddy, frustrated and toes curling and heart beating fast waiting for that moment. It would keep you at the edge of your seat because you would not want to stop turning those pages. I mean how can you, it’s too juicy, so don’t blink!!
He saw that shy appearance of hers as she walked out slowly, her beautiful wet lips parted slightly as she complained feeling embarrassed, “It isn’t coming well. Don’t you have any other trouser or maybe something to tie it?”.
Roff who didn’t realize how his eyes were stuck at her, couldn’t really hear her words, he was just watching and observing each and every move of her that constantly made him breathless.
Leigh found his stare uncomfortable and tightened her clutch, “Excuse me? Hey? Sigh… Mr. Gordon, I am asking if you have another pair of pants?” she scowled, her tone higher than before.
Roff got yanked back from his imagination and averted his gaze while feeling embarrassed, “My clothes are of my size, so naturally I have no other pair for you and I have belt…” he hesitated for a moment, his cheeks reddened when he thought about the word ‘belt’.
He couldn’t help but imagine the drama he once saw where the male lead tied the female lead hands with a belt. He started to rub his hair, putting the dryer down, keeping his eyes away from her wet hair that made him thirsty, he got up, “I have nothing more for you, be grateful for what I am already giving. Anyway, I have told my men, they will bring your things here by tomorrow morning for you since from now on you will be staying with me”.
Leigh frown deepened, she let the trouser fall on the ground. The shirt was already so big, she never saw the reason to wear it, but because she was given that trouser so she simply wore it.
The guy in front of her had his eyes popping out in shock and mouth wide open, he was blinking madly as if wondering what was going on in front of him and he swallowed.
The girl remained unfazed even after walking closer to the man whose upper half was naked, leaving his chiseled muscles and sexy packs to be seen by her.
“I am telling you again… I have really thick skin so if you are thinking of torturing me by yourself than forget it, that won’t work. This whole thing will only be in my advantage and nothing more. You still have a chance, better you hand me over to the police”.
It took her a lot more guts than she thought. Her heart was beating louder since she was going against him and her words might really put her behind bars but the thought that she has to live with a person who was going to give her a hell of a life was bad enough to go this far.
Roff put on a smirk on his face and his eyes which was avoiding her till now looked back into her eyes properly, he raised his arm and took a lock of her hair, “I feel that handing you over to those police will be a wrong thing. They will ask you questions and may torture you a bit but, in the end, they will let you live with other criminals”.
“I don’t want your life to be as easier as the criminals of this country, so I, Roff Gordon, will especially take care of you and I think you still might be useful. Anyway, if you try to escape or hurt me like how you did at the campus, things will not be any good for you”.
Leigh swallowed, she looked down while wondering what he would do if she tried to escape or something else.
Her brows were creased and she slightly peaked at his neck that she has bitten. Her marks were there though it wasn’t bleeding anymore but it looked painful.
“Do you want to know how I will punish you?” he asked, his smitten eyes were staring at her pretty lips and her white neck that was quite empty.
Leigh raised her eyes in shock, “What?”
“Yeah, I should give you a trailer first so that you would not make any such future mistake”.
Leigh tried to back off feeling pressurized as his hands grabbed her chin and shoulder, and his mouth moved closer to her neck but that was quite an unavoidable circumstance because of his tight grip.
And he bit her soft neck.

Ever been in a worst case scenario, where your once wealthy family becomes poor and began eating from hand to mouth, and how you have to take on soo many part time jobs just to fend for both yourself and your entire family?
Well that was the case of LALISA BAL, popularly known and called Lisa.
She is a pretty nineteen years old and the only child of her parents.
She and her family are from Thailand, but they had to move to Australia, because of her father's job which he later lost.
She is tall and slim in figure, and still has the killer shapes to make any guy go crazy. But all this beauty was hidden behind baggy clothes and huge trousers why??
Lisa's father came home one day that he had lost his work in the oil company. He was the general manager of the company, in charge of overseeing the funds and finances of the company, but all of a sudden something went wrong and he was instantly fired.
Not too long after, he became in debt and highly burdened by his once light weighted responsibility, and had to borrow money from a loan shark.
He used his wife's mini bar which was their family's only source of income, as a collateral for the money he borrowed.
Lisa's Dad tried so hard to get another job but all to know available, he began working on a construction site, but quited when he was involved in an accident that claimed one of his legs, since then he became idly useless cause no one wanted to hire a disabled man.
When it was time to pay back not to mention the interest added to the money he borrowed he couldn't pay up and his wife's mini bar was taken away from them.
Because he couldn't pay up the interest, every night by 8pm the thugs would appear and beat him up for twenty minutes before going back to their base.
Things became worse when his now jobless wife became a chronic drunkard and also a gambler.
Lisa had to shoulder her dad's responsibility at the age of fifteen, so that she would be able to fund his hospital bills and also send herself back to school.
Amidst that crazy personality stood a nineteen years old young girl of wild dreams, and the greatest of all her dreams was that she wanted to become a student in her dream school, a school meant for the rich and not the poor.
Finally another scholarship session came and after applying for the second time that year she was accepted, but she still needed to gather more money for her textbooks and writing materials which was surprisingly very expensive, because it was to be purchased in the school and no where else.
After striving to get into the school, she finds out that all she dreamt and thought about the school, was not really what she expected, and things even become more worse when she finds herself entangled between the two most popular boys in the school, who are most likely arch enemies!!
What do you think will become of Lisa in Geelong high school?
What do you think could be the situation that led to her dad's misfortune?
Note: Lisa has a high level of fighting spirit, and also a stubborn rigid mind that when she makes it up she never changes it, or will she? For who and whom?
