[BL] All Four Won’t Let Me Go

“Fix my grandsons.” That was the only instruction the old billionaire gave. “Turn them into proper heirs… and I’ll change your life.” Eli is a broke college student juggling six jobs just to survive. His goals are simple: 1. Survive college without drowning in debt. 2. Escape his wicked stepmother’s house. 3. Definitely not become someone’s sugar baby… or sugar daddies’ emotional support toy. But sometimes life throws you into the wrong fairytale. After a disastrous cleaning job in the Donovan mansion, Eli finds himself sitting before the terrifying grandfather with a contract that could change his life: Live in the mansion as the housekeeper And turn the billionaire grandchildren into responsible heirs before the old man retires. Which already sounds impossible enough. What happens when the coldest grandson in the family suddenly proposes something even more outrageous? A contract marriage! Now Eli isn’t just the help anymore….he’s the contract fiancé of a Donovan heir, living in a mansion filled with four chaotic heirs who clearly have no intention of behaving. And if he thought that was bad… They are acting very naughty about it. Way too interested, curious, and pushing him toward trouble he never asked for. But the mansion hides more than bratty billionaires and family drama. There are secrets buried behind locked doors. Dangerous family politics. And someone might be planning something that ends with a body on the floor. The deeper Eli gets into the Donovan family, the clearer it becomes that the grandfather didn’t choose him by accident. The old pocket watch Eli inherited from his mother…might hold the key to a secret tied to the Donovan empire itself. Now Eli has to survive….. A fake marriage. Four chaotic heirs. Secrets strong enough to ruin the entire family. And the terrifying possibility of falling for the one man who was never supposed to love him back. If he’s not careful… Eli might not make it out of this mansion alive. Help! From the author of: Glass Hearts [BL] and The Pleasure Letters

Love The Way He Lied

Eva's Pov— "Eyan…" my voice trembled, the words barely escaping my lips. "Are you… Kyel?" He smiled faintly, the warmth I once knew gone from his eyes. "Looks like you found out," he said, his tone light, almost mocking. "Finally. Now I don't have to play this tedious game anymore." My heart thudded painfully. "What are you saying?" He stepped closer, his shadow falling over me. "That's right," he whispered, his voice low and sharp. "I am Kyel..." The word cut through me like a blade. My breath hitched. "No… no, you're lying. You're not my Kyel....you are not my husband." He leaned closer, his eyes cruel. "Then how do I know about the mole just below your right shoulder blade? The one only your husband would ever see?" I froze. He was telling the truth. My lips trembled. "Why… why did you lie to me, Eyan?" "Your Majesty," he snapped suddenly. I blinked. "W-what?" "You are not allowed to call me by name," he said coldly. "Call me what I am. Your Majesty." Tears burned my eyes. "Kyel… please, tell me why. If there's a reason—" "No," he interrupted. "There was no reason." My heart twisted painfully. "What?" "I lied because I wanted to," he said flatly. "I had no reason. And I owe you no explanation." I stared at him in disbelief. "But I'm your wife—" He laughed bitterly. "No. You're not my wife. You're just a woman I shared my bed with." My tears finally fell. "You said you loved me…" His voice turned to ice. "It was all a lie. I—Eyan Lucien Therald—never loved you. Not once." The world spun around me. He turned away, pulled open a drawer, and thrust a parchment toward me. "Sign this." My fingers shook as I took it. "What… is this?" "Divorce papers," he said coldly. "I've already signed. All that's left is your signature." "Divorce…" I whispered, my voice breaking. "Once you sign, we're done," he said. "You'll leave Velmoria and never return." Tears blurred my vision. "What about… our child that I'm carrying?" I stepped closer, my voice shaking. "Don't tell me you don't care about our child, too." He turned. "No. I don't." My heart stopped. "You… don't care?" "You were the one who wanted a child. I never did. But I gave you one. Isn't that enough?" I shook my head, sobbing. "Please, stop… please." "Now sign the papers," he said coldly. "Take the child with you and get out of Velmoria. Never show me that face again." "No. I won't." His voice thundered through the room. "Guards!" The door burst open. "Yes, Your Majesty?" "Take her out of this room," he ordered without looking at me. "Throw her out of the palace—and make sure she never steps foot inside again." I screamed, struggling against the guards' grip. "Eyan! Please—listen to me! Don't do this!" But he didn't turn around. Not once. As the doors slammed shut behind me, I looked at him one last time— and the love I always saw in his eyes… was no longer there. --------------------------------------------------------

Synopsis of the story: The world is vast as we know it. Han Si-Hun was a defeated man. So lonely that if he turned corners, he would see people...but no one would see him. He didn’t know what was wrong with him…was he just a pathetic loser as he thought? Was that all he could ever be? He had never been the strongest or the mightiest…but he knew what mattered. He had morals by those he lived with, but he couldn’t understand why he would want to save the people who left him to die. But life did him some good after all, but as quickly as the good came, it went by. He couldn’t understand why life was so harsh to him and so forgiving to others. Was it that he was a failure? Was he a freak? His power to keep going even when he had chains tied on legs was greater than falling. He had a vast responsibility. He had to protect the people who wished he was dead. How bad could that be? He was given the choice to walk forward and he didn’t deny it. After being chosen, he had to carry the weight of humanity, Ability by ability, his power grew, but there was always something pulling him back. He had some people now; maybe he could share his pain now? He was still driven by guilt he never deserved. But then someone entered his life. She was quite the contrast of what he ever was. He couldn’t unsee her once he saw her. This series of parasytic powerlessness while he had all the power in the world was with him. He doesn’t know if he will live up to his potential or if life will interfere again. He never lost himself that he would find himself, his world was neglected by his own parents, who didn't care if he was dead or alive. Then who cared? But then one thing crosses our mind, we all shall never lose hope, all of us.
