YOUNG BILLIONAIRE'S CONTRACT WIFE

Killian Drake, the young and charismatic heir to the illustrious Drake Conglomerate, stands on the precipice of a life-altering decision. At just twenty-eight, he has already amassed an extraordinary fortune, making him one of the wealthiest billionaires of his generation. Yet, despite his remarkable achievements and the luxurious lifestyle that accompanies his wealth, Killian finds himself entangled in the heavy chains of obligation, which he refers to as bondage. As the weight of his family's legacy looms heavily over him, he is brought face-to-face with an impending reality: his father, the formidable patriarch of the Drake dynasty, is nearing the end of his life. In his final days, his father reveals a shocking condition—his vast fortune and the prestigious inheritance will be bestowed upon Killian only if he first fulfills a critical requirement: he must get married. Caught in this precarious situation, Killian realizes he has no option but to comply with his father's dying wish. Torn between his desires for personal freedom and the duty to uphold his family's legacy, he embarks on a journey that feels more like a prison sentence than a celebration of love. The stakes are raised even higher when Killian makes the controversial choice to marry the daughter of his long-time rival, a woman whose family has been in bitter conflict with the Drakes for decades. This unexpected alliance raises questions of loyalty, strategy, and the true meaning of sacrifice. Will the marriage, initially conceived as a means to secure his family’s wealth, evolve into something deeper? Or will it merely serve as a constant reminder of his father’s iron grip over his life? As Killian navigates the treacherous waters of this union, he must confront not only his own feelings but also the explosive dynamics that arise from merging two feuding families. The path ahead is fraught with challenges, intrigue, and unexpected twists that could change everything he thought he knew about love, loyalty, and legacy. What will be the ultimate outcome of this entangled fate, and can Killian forge a future that honors both his family's legacy and his own heart's desires? The answers lie in a marriage that is anything but ordinary.

Your Name was the problem(his rules her fire)

Aria Sinclair has never needed saving. Raised to fight for everything she has, she built her reputation with sharp intelligence, fierce independence, and a will that refuses to bend. But when her father’s company stands on the brink of ruin, even she cannot stop the collapse alone. Enter Adrian Locke — the city’s most feared CEO. Cold. Calculated. Brilliant. A man who built an empire with his own hands and never let anyone close enough to touch his heart. To the world, he is power itself — unshakable and untouchable. Adrian needs one thing to secure his next global deal: A wife. Not a lover. Not a partner. Just a name and a role. And Aria is the only woman strong enough not to break under the pressure — or fall in love with him. So begins a marriage bound by signatures, convenience, and rules that both swear to uphold. But in private: They clash. They provoke. They burn. Their arguments are fire. Their tension is undeniable. And every time they collide, the world around them seems to stop breathing. Yet in the world of power and ambition, enemies hide behind smiles — and the past never stays buried. When threats close in and truths unravel, the line between hate and desire blurs dangerously. And the contract that once kept them apart becomes the very thing pushing them together. Not because they need each other. But because they choose each other. Even when it hurts. Even when it’s impossible. Even when love was never part of the deal. ---

THE LAST LION : A GAME OF CHAOS

THE POST WAR OF GOT In the fragile peace following the Last War, Westeros is a realm of scars and compromises. King Bran the Broken rules a fractured Six Kingdoms, the North stands independent under Queen Sansa Stark, and the great houses are either extinct or shadows of their former glory. Into this vacuum of power steps Aaryan Lannister, a brilliant and ruthlessly pragmatic scion of a lesser branch of the family, long thought lost to the chaos of the wars. Summoned from his self-imposed exile in Essos by his cousin, Hand of the King Tyrion Lannister, Aaryan returns to a home he barely recognizes. He is granted the title of Warden of the West and tasked with rebuilding the Lannisters' shattered domain. But while Tyrion sees a capable kinsman, Aaryan sees a kingdom ripe for the taking, ruled by tired idealists, broken men, and a boy-king he deems unfit to rule. Possessing a mind that operates with the speed and clarity of a supernaturally gifted tactician and the combat prowess of a seasoned assassin, Aaryan begins his methodical ascent. His first steps are to consolidate power in the Westerlands, swiftly and brutally quelling dissent among the squabbling lords and restoring the fear and respect once commanded by the Lannister name. His methods are cold and efficient, shocking the established order with their stark departure from the honor-bound traditions of Westeros. His growing influence soon brings him into direct conflict with the new powers of the realm. His ambition alarms Tyrion, his amoral pragmatism horrifies idealists like Ser Davos Seaworth, and his very existence is an insult to the Queen in the North, Sansa Stark, who sees in him the same ruthless ambition that destroyed her family. Aaryan becomes a polarizing figure, gathering allies from the disenfranchised and ambitious lords who resent the new Stark-centric world order, while systematically undermining the authority of King Bran's council. The novel charts Aaryan's masterful game of manipulation and power consolidation. He uses the realm's lingering tensions—the North's independence, the Iron Islands' restlessness, and Dorne's simmering resentment—as pieces on his personal cyvasse board. His ultimate goal becomes clear: he doesn't seek to merely restore his house, but to shatter the fragile peace and "reset" the entire political landscape, positioning himself at the center of a new, stronger, and more ruthless Westeros, led by the last true lion.
