What should have been a one-time accident turns into a full-blown obsession when Noah starts trying to figure out who did it. The more he digs, the stranger everything gets. His dorm is full of chaos, his friends keep making things worse, and his quiet, absurdly competent roommate Evan Hart is suddenly at the center of every suspicious moment. Evan is calm, smart, hard to read—and somehow always one step ahead of Noah. Then Noah stumbles onto a trail of anonymous posts that sound far too familiar, and his hunt for answers turns into something much more dangerous. Because the real problem is no longer just the kiss. It is the way Noah keeps noticing Evan. The way his heart races at the wrong times. The way every attempt to prove he is definitely, absolutely straight only pulls him deeper into Evan's orbit. Caught between embarrassment, curiosity, and feelings he does not know how to name, Noah has to face the possibility that the biggest shock is not who kissed him in the dark—but what happens if he wants it to happen again.

The next day, the client delayed the payment, and no one in the company received their bonus. The boss begged me to help recover the funds, but I replied: "It's not good for unity if I bear all the responsibility for the payments. Let's share the burden with everyone."

Not happening." Now the man who never once looked at her is chasing her everywhere. Now he remembers her name. Now he's jealous, possessive, and far too late.

Mary always had one thing in common with the leaves on the pine tree...they both moved where the wind wanted them to—adjusting her sitting position on the wooden seat, which seemed to be just in the right place at the corner of the yard far away and hidden from the judgemental eyes of the occupants of the ten-bedroom mansion. The grand splendor of the house couldn't be denied, built-in details many years back by the first lords of Scotland, the pioneers whose contributions to the growth of the nation's wealth as they established strong trade relationships with the British empire in the 1700s, conquering gold mines in the Eastern lands of the Arabic nations. The Winstons have held their own. Mary ran her hands through her faded cotton gown, which used to be a vibrant yellow, now only a shadow of itself ...how could she have the blood of the Winstons? a soft sigh escaped her thin pale lips that looked cracked and dry. Mary knew her only redeeming feature was her big baby blue eyes, as told to her by Michael, the son of the gardener who was only ten years of age. People might find it funny that she believed a child, but there was no time she could remember Michael telling a lie. The little lad was always honest to a fault which landed him in trouble most times. At least he had his father, who was the gardener and mother, the head cook to shower him with love; she never had that. She was born to a prostitute mother who set her eyes on the Winston heir 20 years ago, leading to her being born out of wedlock. Her mother, whose name she would instead not remember, tried to get her hands on fortune using her as a pawn, but she had bitten more than she could chew. Word was she was strangled while entertaining a customer who was relatively unknown around the area. Her death has been covered up as a suicide. Mary never knew her mother the only memory she has of her was the hate-filled gaze that chilled her to the bone any time she stumbled upon her into the brothel home where the prostitutes stayed. Even at the young age of three, she remembered the nights out in the cold, not eating for days only to be rewarded with a slap for every tear she shed. It was a good thing they lived in a public place as other courtesans took pity on her from time to time and let her eat their scraps. Shaking her head, Mary got up from the chair as if it would shake off the terrible scars from her soul, not minding the visible scars on her body. She walked into the garden, running her hands through the flowers, and for a while, it seemed like the perfect escape until she realized she had walked too far. The gardens had an outlet that connected to the forest. Turning back, she began to retrace her steps. It was never a good idea to be here alone.

She tells herself his distance is temporary, that his silence means less than the vows they signed in private. Then one cruel accident rips away her child—and with it, every excuse she has ever made for him.

But leaving Ethan Sterling is not simple. Not when his daughter clings to her, his ex-wife sharpens her claws, and the man who never fought for her suddenly refuses to let her go.

Elliot Carter is only ever the replacement. When his Omega brother runs from an arranged marriage, Elliot—an ordinary Beta from a failing family—is shoved into the wedding in his place and tied to Adrian Sterling, an S-class Alpha who should have had everything he wanted. In public, they become the perfect couple. In private, they are strangers sharing a bed, a contract, and years of resentment. Adrian never wanted a Beta. Elliot never had a choice. So when Elliot finally walks away, he means to end it cleanly. No more cleaning up his family's messes. No more being the stand-in for someone else. No more mistaking heat, possessiveness, and late-night tenderness for love. He starts over in a quiet dessert shop, determined to build a life that belongs to him for once. But Adrian refuses to stay gone. He keeps showing up—at Elliot's work, outside his door, in the spaces Elliot is trying to reclaim—and the more Elliot pushes him away, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth. His runaway brother is back, old misunderstandings are cracking apart, and the arrogant Alpha Elliot thought he understood may have wanted him all along. If Elliot lets himself believe that, he risks becoming a replacement again. If he doesn't, he might lose the first person who ever tried to choose him. When a love built on obligation starts turning into something real, can Elliot trust it—or is he about to be used one more time.

"!!!!!!!" The eldest son shakes his head in disbelief: "I don't want to know this man." The second son covers his eyes in disgust: "What a shame! I can't look at him, I just can't!" The third son looks worried: "Uh-oh, Daddy's going to get beaten tonight." The fourth son frowns, rolling his eyes up in exasperation: "I can't even, I just can't..."

Six years ago, she was forced into a corner and married a comatose man. She thought everything would be fine once she had a child, but a DNA test sent her spiraling into hell. One child was lost, and the other two's lives hung by a thread. Six years later, she returned with a new name, her children in tow, only to be pinned against a wall by someone who coldly warned her: "You want to be the mother of my children? Not a chance!"

The sun rays easily filtered into the room through the small gap between the windows. They fell on the well made bed covered in pink and white sheets. Two big pillows lay neatly at the upper side of the bed. The walls of the room were covered in all kinds of posters and wallpapers. A huge frame of the picture of a girl, a man and a woman smiling brightly hung on the wall right above the head of the bed. A long shelf was plastered to the wall with the books neatly arranged in it. Next to it a shoe rack of sneakers and different shoes. Adjacent the shoe rack was a table with a girl seating on it. She had a headset on with music blaring in her ears cutting her off from the outside world. Dressed in a long shirt that reached her knees, she tapped her feet slowly against the table as she scrolled through her computer. She bobbled and nodded her head to the song playing in her ears. She removed her hands from the mouse and moved her hands while dancing. On the Computer was news about a popular teen singer. ...

Emily and Ethan were not related by blood, but they were siblings in every other sense. They grew up side by side in a small, impoverished town filled with secrets,clinging to each other for warmth and comfort. There was joy, there was pain, there was darkness—and there was a stirring of the heart.But the one thing they shared above all else was a dream: to leave Havenwood. Ethan never believed in gods. If gods existed, why would they sit back and watch the poor suffer, the wicked thrive, and the good live in peace? If everything in life was fate, then what was the point of a wretched life like his being born at all? Ethan didn't like Emily. He ignored her provocations, smiled at her again and again, and sweetly called her "sister"—not because he cared for her,but simply because he wanted to stay in the Miller family's home a little longer. He was used to pleasing others every second of every day,used to hiding his numb, exhausted heart behind a practiced smile. That kind of pleasing… didn't mean affection. He didn't like anyone. But when Emily reached out—unbothered by the filth covering him—and took his hand,firmly, openly, leading him straight through the crowd without hesitation, Ethan suddenly thought: maybe this sharp-tongued, short-tempered sister of his was more trustworthy than any god.
In the fourth year of my marriage to my arch-nemesis, my husband was in a car accident and lost his memory. His mind reverted to the time before we tied the knot.

I'm a zombie. Right now, I'm standing outside my own home. The door is tightly shut, as if no one is inside. I remain motionless by the entrance. Occasionally, other zombies wander by and peer through my windows. When they do, I kick them away without hesitation. Yes, I've turned into a zombie. But for some reason, I've retained all my human memories. Standing outside my house, I can't help but recall the times when I used to upset my wife. She'd lock me out, forcing me to stand there while she sat by the window, secretly watching me as I sulked. It seems that even now, as a zombie, she hasn't changed that habit.
Fei dreamed of a phone number—and added it the moment she woke up. The profile had a perfect face. No posts, no info. Just that one photo. We thought it was nothing. However, when we sent his profile picture to the group chat, Holly—the weird roommate no one liked—replied with a single chilling message: "Why are you sending a dead man's photo?" We thought she was joking. Then things started to go wrong. What Fei added wasn't just a stranger… It was something none of us were ready for.
At 3 a.m., I was starving and alone at home, so I decided to order some takeout. For safety reasons, I added a note: "I'm not home yet. Please leave the food at the door and send me a photo." Half an hour later, the delivery driver sent me a message: "Miss, your food is on the doormat. Please pick it up soon." Attached was a photo showing the food placed right outside my door. To avoid running into the driver, I waited a few minutes before heading to retrieve it. Just before opening the door, I glanced at my phone. "The delivery driver is currently 0 meters away from you."
