Byline & Lies

ishq_writer
Vedika Roy always believed that truth was enough. That if you chased it hard enough, it would protect you. She was wrong. One mistake destroyed her career, her credibility, and the identity she built as a crime journalist. Broken but burning with unfinished anger, she returns to Jaipur hoping to escape failure. Instead, she walks into a silence far more terrifying. Her best friend disappears after joining Zyvora Systems, one of India's most powerful IT companies. No calls. No messages. No employee records. Just a company that calmly says, "She never worked here." Vedika knows what that means. To uncover the truth, Vedika becomes someone else. Under the fake identity of Prisha Mehra, she enters Zyvora Systems, fully aware that one wrong move could erase her too. Inside the glass walls of power and professionalism, she realizes this isn't just a company. It's a system built to hide people, bury evidence, and silence questions. Every file feels dangerous. Every corridor feels watched. And then there is Suryansh Oberoi. A man who speaks less and watches more. Who carries authority in his posture and secrets in his eyes. As her boss, he stands dangerously close to the truth she is hunting, yet feels like a wall built to protect it. Nothing about him feels simple. Nothing about him feels safe. Their tension is sharp. Their attraction forbidden. Their closeness dangerous. Because in a world where lies are signed in contracts and truth is treated like a crime, love becomes a liability. And some stories are written only to be buried. Tropes: ~ Undercover Identity ~ Boss × Employee ~ Slow Burn Romance ~ Enemies to Lovers ~ Workplace Suspense ~ Mystery / Thriller ~ Strong Female Lead ~ Secrets & Lies ~ Forbidden Attraction

That Day When Suzuki-kun Wasn't the Mob-B!

He was the ultimate "Mob-B"—the nameless guy in the background of every anime scene who doesn’t even get a face. Whether he’s the student sitting behind the protagonist in a rom-com or the random villager running away from a Demon King in the Isekai World, Suzuki’s life has always been "background noise." However, that day everything changed since he could connect himself with the other from him, another world. Still, there was one problem— "Why are all of us Mob-B?" Even if there are many of them, a zero will be zero no matter how many there are, but fortunately, they have another unique ability. [Confirmed. The acquisition of a unique skill: "Manager." Successful.] "...................." It was true that in their previous life, their last position was a manager in the place where they worked, but why the heck did they get this ability when many Isekai protagonists gain cheat-like abilities? Still, without a doubt, this ability changed their lives forever. --- Easy and relaxed. --- World: Naruto - Solo Leveling - Jujutsu Kaisen - Gotoubun - Gochuumon wa Usagi Desuka - Danmachi - Tensura - Kaguya-sama - One Piece - To Aru Majutsu no Index - Sekirei - DxD - Arifureta - Spy x Family - Campione - Sword Art Online - Maken-Ki! - Oshi no Ko - Otoyomegatari - Baki - Kengan Ashura - The Irregular at Magic High School - Blue Lock! - Shokugeki no Soma - Bocchi The Rock! - Komi-san Can't Communicate - Kuzu no Honkai - --- If you wish to see the advanced chapters, you can check the link below: https://www.patreón.com/akikan40

Marriage Contract with my Cursed Alien Mate

When Tempest Riverrun is taken from Earth, survival is the only thing on her mind. She had already reached the end of her rope back home, standing on the edge of a life she didn’t want anymore. But instead of death, Tempest wakes up on Thraqe, a brutal alien world scarred by war and ruled by customs she barely understands. The High Council gives her a choice. She can wander into the alien wilderness alone and try to survive among the predators, or she can choose a mate from the warriors of Thraqe and live under his protection for six months. To the people of Thraqe, the decision should be simple. Their species is struggling to rebuild after years of war, and human women are seen as potential mates capable of restoring their future. But not every warrior is considered worthy of a human bride. Dron has spent his entire life being feared. The black scars that twist along his arm mark him as cursed, a man destined for violence and military service. When battles end, he isn’t celebrated like other warriors. He’s hidden away behind reinforced walls, treated as something dangerous that must be contained. No woman on Thraqe would ever choose him. Until Tempest does. What begins as a desperate decision quickly becomes something far more complicated. Dron may look terrifying, but the brooding alien warrior proves to be surprisingly gentle with the fragile human who chose him when no one else would. Beneath the scars and the reputation is a fiercely loyal male who has never known affection, never known touch, and never imagined someone might want him. Tempest must learn to navigate the strange customs of Thraqe, the harsh alien wilderness that surrounds them, and the powerful instincts of the alpha male who now considers her his mate. But not everyone believes humans belong on Thraqe. Some see Tempest and the other abducted women as the only hope for the future. Others believe mixing blood with humans will weaken their people forever. And the moment Tempest chooses the most feared warrior on the planet, she becomes part of a conflict far bigger than herself. Because on Thraqe, mates are not temporary. And the warrior everyone calls cursed is beginning to believe that Tempest was meant to be his all along.
