The Devil CEO's Contract Wife

[18+ | Mature Content | Dark Romance] After slaving away for years as Ares King's sole overworked secretary, Catherine has finally had enough of his domineering and heartless attitude. She wants to quit and use the severance pay to settle her family's debts, and spend more time with her long-term boyfriend. But soon after she hands her resignation letter, she finds out that her boyfriend cheated on her. He claims she's a wreck with no future, and he's better off without her. Heartbroken and devastated, Catherine is grasping at the last straw when her boss, Ares King, proposes a contract out of the blue. "Become my wife for one year." "Why me, Mr. King?" "Because we work, Ms. Lane.” The last thing she wanted was to make a deal with the devil. But this offer is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Sell your soul to the devil for one year. How hard can that be? ********** Excerpt: "How many?" I froze. Did he expect me to count? "How. Many?" "I-I don't—Ah!" Ares spanked me again, continuously. My eyes stung, and sweet pain overtook me. I should feel sick from deriving pleasure from this, but strangely, I wasn't. "Two?" I teased, purposely getting the numbers wrong. "You shouldn't have done that." Just as I thought, he started again, but this time he drove each hit with more force until my ass was burning. "Fifteen!" I yelled, shaking. "Wrong." My heart momentarily stopped. "I got it right!" "You missed one." He pressed his hand on my searing bottom, and I moaned. I tried to squirm away, but he trapped my hands behind my back, his voice dark with warning. "Move again, and you'll regret it." ~ A/N: This is a work of fiction. All names, characters, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously.

MY HIDDEN TALENT IS FORBIDDEN BY THE HEAVENS

Fifty years ago, rifts appeared in the world. These rifts spewed spirit beasts, ancient artifacts, and fragments of lost civilizations. The human race brought forth Talent Sigils and built guilds and families for survival. These families include one of the oldest awakened bloodlines, known as "The Long Clan," said to trace its lineage from the dragons of antiquity. However, rivalries also exist within great clans. His name is Long Hao, the son of a dwindling lineage family who is ridiculed for being the embarrassment of the clan. It is not impossible for people to believe that he has only mediocre talent because the clan already labels him as the failure who does not deserve the name dragon. But on the night before the awakening ceremony, there is a prohibited awakening within him. > [Eclipse System… Activating [Forbidden Talent Detected. Origin: Dragon-Eclipse Bloodline It seems that *Heaven’s Law* itself has made Long Hao wields forbidden talent, a skill feared not only by humans but also by the heavens. The day that follows, the Awakening Stone has no talent, and the world laughs at him. But Long Hao just smiled. When the first dungeon appears out of nowhere in his high school, chaos breaks out. "The trash of the Long Clan" emerges and displays power that shocks the city. He will overcome his destiny. Above the guilds. Above ancient clans. Beyond God's own command. A dragon ought to fly across the nine heavens, and he, named Long Hao, shall smash those who come to get in his way. A dragon should soar across the nine heavens— and Long Hao will shatter anyone who dares stand in his path.

Reborn Loaded: The Queen of the Apocalypse

After surviving three brutal years in a post-apocalyptic world, Luo Sui uncovers a devastating truth: her identity was stolen, her powers destroyed, her dimensional space taken, her family wiped out, and her fiancé turned against her — all because of Su Wanwan. Driven to her absolute breaking point, she believes she has lost everything… until fate grants her a second chance. Reborn before the catastrophe unfolds, Luo Sui swears to rewrite her future and never allow Su Wanwan to succeed again. Acting swiftly and strategically, she secures critical supplies, mobilizes two powerful families, and lays the foundation for survival in a collapsing world. As natural disasters erupt, a mysterious plague transforms humans into zombies, and strange creatures roam the land, an enigmatic interface suddenly appears before humanity — a survival system offering both danger and opportunity. Amid the chaos, rumors spread of a striking woman with a brown rose in her hair riding a blazing fox. Others encounter bizarre loot: universal bandages, pumpkin carriages, flying chickens, light-energy weapons, hamster spaces, butterfly wings, and snail dwellings — items that seem broken at first glance. But Luo Sui knows better. The so-called “junk” in her hands hides extraordinary value. Through the system, she trades them for advanced weapons, body-enhancing pills, futuristic vehicles, mechs, medical facilities, and treasures drawn from cultivation realms. With these resources, she begins recruiting future allies and constructing the strongest base the new world has ever seen. Gu Nanyan re-enters her life—alive, powerful, and as cold and dangerous as ever, yet not yet doomed by the trap that once led to his death. This time, Luo Sui approaches him differently. No longer passive or naive, she takes the initiative to form an alliance built on mutual trust, strategic alignment, and unspoken understanding. Gu Nanyan, known for his ruthless efficiency, reveals a restrained gentleness only in her presence. Beneath his calm exterior lies a sharp, calculating mind equal to her own. And this is only the beginning — because the true trials of evolution have yet to arrive.

✓ MASSIVE RELEASE ON THE LAST DAY OF EACH MONTH.✓ BLURB: “We are sorry Maria, we never meant to hurt you. Come back to us!" They all thundered. But it was too late, I was determined to make them Pay. *** I am Maria Moon, casted out of my Pack at the age of eighteen. All because of a tradition— one that states, that which ever family the Alpha's mate comes from, any other female wolf of same status is cast out. But it all felt wrong, It wasn't supposed to be me but her— my step sister— Patricia Moon. “I, Darren Copper, Alpha of the Frost moon pack, hereby declare that Maria Moon is no longer a member of this pack!” I pleaded for them to see the truth but no one cared, they were all blinded by their love for her. I became a rogue, wandered about for days and was unfortunate to attacked by the older rogues. And even more unfortunate to be saved by the quadruplet Alpha's, my Pack rival Alpha's. *** “Isn't she the Beta's daughter of Frost moon pack?" Damien growled as he turned to his brothers. “Definitely, she looks the same even after five years!" Adrien replied as he squatted, cupping my chin harshly on his palm. “She is definitely a spy, let's kill her!" Davian roared, stretching his claws, his stance ready to slaughter. “Don't Davian!" Aidan the oldest amongst the quadruplet echoed, “That’s all the more reason we should keep her close, letting her die is to easy.” He turned to the guards beside him, “Take her to the Pack, she is our Personal maid." Adrien chuckled lightly, a sly smirk appearing across his lips. “Nice idea Aidan. We would make her suffer!" CONTENT WARNING.

TO TAME THE BRUTAL LYCAN BEAST

Valoria was the omega who couldn't shift — the pack freak no one wanted. Her fated mate chose her sister on the altar. Her father's solution? Hand her over as a spare bride to Lycan King Azrael — the most feared, most ruthless lycan alive. A beast who doesn't love, doesn't feel, and doesn't show mercy. He didn't want her either. But he kept her — not as a wife, not as a mate. As a toy. Something pretty to break when he's bored. "You're mine until I decide you're not, little mouse. And I haven't decided yet." He tortures her, taunts her, watches her break and smiles like it's art. But somewhere between the cruelty and the madness, his hands learned her body before his heart learned her name. He doesn't want to love her — he wants to own her, tame her, ruin her so completely that no one else will ever want what's left. And the damning part? She's starting to crave it. But there is a little secret that Azrael doesn't know. This is not Valoria's first rodeo in life. He doesn't know the Moon Goddess ripped her from death with one mission; to seduce him, tame him, and end his reign. One hundred days. That's all she has before he kills her or she kills him. The only thing the goddess didn't warn her about was the thin chance of falling for the monster she's supposed to destroy WARNINGS: This is a DARK romance. Azrael is not your soft misunderstood hero. He is brutal, possessive, morally corrupt, addictive, and utterly unhinged. Expect 18+ smutty content, dubcon, PLOT TWISTS, and a monster who might either steal or crush your heart. Proceed at your own risk (of addiction, lmao).
