[Fated/Forced Mate Bond + Forced Proximity + Only One Who Can Save Him + Hidden Royal Bloodline + Cursed With A Ticking Clock + Secret Villain Hiding In Plain Sight + Betrayal By A Trusted Insider + Escape Attempt Gone Wrong + Enemies to Allies Royal Court + Choosing Him Twice + Second Chance Choice] Zenaida Kessington has 365 days to make a monster fall in love with her or watch him disappear forever. She fell through a portal expecting to die. Instead, she landed in the lap of the most feared king in the Beast Realm, and woke something in him that hasn't stirred in a decade: a mate bond neither of them asked for. Vyrn is dying by inches, his humanity eaten alive by a curse with a deadline. The bond could save him. But it only works if she chooses him freely, and Zenaida doesn't do anything freely but escape. When the one chance to go home turns out to be a trap set by the same enemy who cursed him, Zenaida has to decide what's worse: staying bound to a man who broke his own rules to save her life, or losing him to a beast that might not remember her name. With 365 days, one impossible bond, and a king running out of time to be saved by the one woman who was never supposed to find him... except she was.

Ximena Castellanos was supposed to be a ghost. In a world ruled by the ancient Alpha bloodlines of Spain, being born without the Shift meant being invisible. She was just the powerless daughter of the most feared Alpha in the country that was overlooked, underestimated, and kept.   But on her twenty-first birthday, a golden Mark burns into her skin, binding her soul to Bastián Valdemar, the ruthless Alpha who just crushed her pack into ruin. To her father, she is now a weapon. To Bastián, her blood makes her the ultimate enemy.   To survive, Ximena fakes her death and infiltrates Bastián's pack under the false name Salomé. The plan is simple: hide in plain sight. Earn his trust. Then destroy him from within.   But the Vínculo cannot be denied. As Bastián hunts relentlessly for the missing Castellanos heir, he finds himself dangerously obsessed with the sharp-tongued woman standing right in front of him. Every stolen touch threatens to expose her. Every shared breath pulls the trigger. He bullies her, tests her, tries to break her but she refuses to bend.   When the truth finally drops, the blood spilled will either drown their world or forge an empire.

THE CONTRACT I SIGNED WITH MY EX - Blurb He chose his empire over the woman he promised to protect. Five years after Aderinsola "Rin" Adeyemi was framed, convicted, and erased, a new woman returns to the city that killed her life. Rina Vale is polished, rich, and hungry for one thing... revenge. She walks into Lucien Blackwood's world with a contract in hand, an alliance that looks like salvation for his company but hides a clause that hands her the power to dismantle everything he built. Lucien thought silence was protection. He thought control could fix what he broke. Now he must live with the consequences of that choice as Rina pulls the strings. She toys with his memory, exposes his secrets, and forces him to watch the ruin he helped create. But as the truth unravels, the vendetta becomes something more dangerous because the woman who will not be silent still loves the man who betrayed her. If justice means burning the house down, is she willing to risk losing what's left of herself? And what if the child she was told she lost is not gone after all? A dark, fierce story of contracts, revenge, and the cost of silence.

When I was eight months pregnant, I collapsed suddenly from a severe pregnancy complication. In the hospital, my husband, Easton, refused to approve my emergency C-section. Standing beside my bleeding body with his mistress, Colette, he held a postnuptial agreement in his hand. He forced me to give up all our assets and take on Colette's massive debts. He even called the police and falsely accused me of stealing a fake luxury watch, trying to stop me from paying for my own medical care. "Sign it, and you get the surgery. Otherwise, don't expect to live." Because of his delay, my baby's heartbeat stopped. I completely broke down, grieving the child he had killed. He thought he had won. He thought I was a housewife he could manipulate however he pleased. But he forgot — I was the Chief Financial Officer who helped him build his entire corporate empire. And I had evidence of every single one of his financial crimes.

Abigail Delaney, the youngest female servant of the Williams household came with the intention to work for a period of time in order to save up enough money to pay for her mother's surgery. Unintentionally, she fell in love with the only son and heir to the Williams empire, Liam Williams. It took just one night to lose her virginity to him. And later discovering she was pregnant, she decided to leave and never return. Hopefully, Liam will never find out that she left with his heir.

I spent months overcoming my fear of heights, just so I could go skydiving with my boyfriend on our anniversary. But on the plane, Cole strapped my safety harness onto his "best friend" Giselle, telling me to wait for the next trip because she had just gone through a breakup, was feeling down, and needed this thrill to bounce back. She didn't care about my efforts at all, trying to brush me off with just a few words. Cole desperately defended her, accusing me of being petty and making a mountain out of a molehill. "She's fragile, Cathy! You're just jealous of a bond between us that you could never understand!" He actually expected me to accept being an outsider in my own relationship, while my family kept pressuring me to drop my so-called pride. For eight years, I poured everything into our relationship, only to finally realize I was nothing but a placeholder, expected to exit the stage whenever Giselle needed him. His constant emotional manipulation and blatant favoritism left me utterly exhausted. So, I packed my bags, paid him back every single cent he ever spent on me, and left without looking back. It was time for me to take over the multi-million dollar corporate project he was about to ruin. He really needed to see how I would step to the peak of my career!

asked my husband a silly TikTok challenge question: if it weren't me, who would he have married? He didn't hesitate. He said one name — Chloe, my once-closest best friend, the same woman who stole my first love years ago. This wasn't a joke. I soon found out he'd lied about a business trip. While I was in surgery, he was secretly vacationing with her, leaving me alone in the hospital. When I confronted them, my husband — to protect her — shoved me hard onto the cold floor. The violent impact made me lose our two-month-old baby. Just as my world was completely falling apart, Chloe leaned in with a victorious smirk and whispered her darkest secret: she had deliberately deleted my dying mother's final voicemail, making me miss my last chance to say goodbye. My husband knew exactly what kind of vicious person she was, and he still chose to protect her in front of his bleeding wife. Looking at the man now kneeling before me, crying and begging for mercy, I calmly pulled out the divorce papers. "Sign it. Then leave."

I hid my identity as the Supreme Wolf Princess just to find true love, even sacrificing my soul core to cure the bloodline curse of my fated mate, Caleb. However, when he successfully became the Alpha of the Supreme Wolf Pack, he brought back Selene—a cunning she-wolf who faked an attack by rogue wolves to frame me. He would rather believe her fabricated tears than listen to my explanation, locking me on a balcony covered in toxic silver dust for three days and three nights. When I knelt and begged for forgiveness, telling him I was pregnant with his child, he sneered and accused me of carrying a rogue wolf's bastard. He watched coldly as Selene spiked my food with deadly poison and forced me to climb a tree covered in thorns. Ultimately, I lost my child, and my blood stained the earth red. I gave up my crown and my magic just to help him build his empire, only to receive humiliation in return. He even threw a banishment contract in my face, ordering me to be exiled to the wastelands. I felt a deep, agonizing sense of worthlessness for everything I had sacrificed for him! That was until the Royal Guard's helicopters blackened the sky, and my father—the Supreme Alpha of all werewolves—forced Caleb to his knees in a wretched state. "I accept your banishment." I threw that contract violently back into his trembling hands, watching his world crumble to ash. In this moment, he finally realized exactly what he had destroyed.

For three years, Elena mourned the husband she believed was dead. Then, on her deathbed, she saw him. Alive. Standing beside the woman he had left her for and before she could confront them, she died. But fate gave her one more chance. She woke up three years earlier, beside the husband who would one day betray her. This time, she knows the truth. She knows his lies. She knows his mistress. She knows how her life will end. And Adrian has no idea that the wife he plans to destroy has already lived through his betrayal once. This time, Elena won't die for her husband. She'll make sure he regrets ever making her his wife.

On the night before my wedding, I opened an anonymous message card, only to find out that my fiancé had been cheating on me with my maid of honor for four years. The engagement ring on my hand was actually a cheap reject that she didn't want; her so-called "emergency business trip" was actually to cover up the fact that she had just given birth to his child last week. What sent the worst chills down my spine was that his entire family knew about this perfectly well, yet they still happily watched me meticulously prepare for this scam of a wedding. When I canceled the wedding and confronted them, his mother actually slapped me across the face. "You're nothing but a poor girl clinging to my son. Camilla is the one he truly loves." And my fiancé didn't even defend me. Instead, he pushed me to the ground, causing me to hit my head, all just to comfort his crying mistress. I spent eight years by his side, accompanying him from having nothing to where he is now, only to realize I was nothing but a convenient placeholder. I took off that discarded ring, blocked all of them, and bought a one-way ticket to Oregon, USA. This time, I decided to leave forever and never look back. But now, he's going crazy begging for my forgiveness!

Imagine if you will: At the highly secretive, largely independent, inter-dimensional and (inevitably) clandestine organization called the Time Saving Agency, there is a saying that goes: ‘You can’t break an omelet without first making eggs’. While this may appear to be a rather flippant little idiom, there is – as is usually the case, far more to it than meets the eye. For starters, that’s a rather simple principle of Time Travel right there – and according to the pioneers of time travel, it’s one of the foundation stones of the Theory behind it. It’s something of a paradox – a mind-boggling annotation in the ever-puzzling and ever growing Anals of History. (Some readers may still be thinking that should be ‘Annals’ – however, the author of this work cannot be blamed for what you may think.)
