VoidheartScribe
Oldgate bleeds. In its dark alleys, a rare few ignite an inner Spark, drawing on potent Essence to survive. Artem is one of them—a phantom in the alleys, his skills honed by necessity. The city's festering wounds are merely the first symptom of a world sickened by ambition, teetering on the brink of all-out war. As the "heat" in Oldgate becomes an inferno, drawing in powers far greater than local thugs, Artem's carefully constructed life of stealth shatters. Ghosts from a past he thought buried drag him into the heart of sprawling conspiracies, where the true nature of his distinct Numen might be the key to survival—or his ultimate undoing in a deadly game of empires. No longer just surviving, Artem must confront his own history and decide if what he will do in new times.

Betrayal: Married To My Enemy After Divorce

Rosalie had spent the last two years devotedly caring for her husband, William, after he was injured in an accident—an accident that happened just as he was about to divorce her for not being able to give him an heir. But everything she believed in shatters when she discovers the cruel truth; William—the very same man who whispered promises to her ears, kissed the ground she walked on when he was courting her—had been faking his paralysis and cheating on her the entire time, with her best friend. The betrayal hit harder than the heartbreak she felt when William had suggested a divorce. “You shouldn’t be surprised. You can’t give me a child,” he said coldly, his voice like ice. Then, with no remorse, he threw the divorce papers in her face. “Let’s finish what we started two years ago. Let’s get a divorce.” Heartbroken but resolute, Rosalie wiped away her tears, signed the papers, and silently vowed to make him regret ever tossing aside her love and sacrifice. She returned to the powerful, wealthy family she had once walked away from—the family that had pampered her, begged her not to leave. Back then, she had wanted to build her own name, live a life untouched by privilege. A name she had tossed aside the moment she met William. Now, barely catching her breath, she faces a new twist of fate. “You’ll have to replace your sister and marry Matteo Valtieri,” her father who never once raised his voice at her said, his tone leaving no room for argument. “It’s the only way to solidify our family’s alliance.” Matteo Valtieri—a cold-hearted mafia boss who got what he wanted and eliminated anyone who stood in his way—couldn’t care less about the marriage. But despite their agreement to stay out of each other’s lives, he found himself drawn to Rosalie, and when he found out that she’d been cheated on by the man she once gave everything to, something in him snapped. Rosalie, too, found herself falling for Matteo—until she remembered he’d murdered someone close to her heart. And that was a truth she couldn’t ignore.
