It all began with one challenge. Kairo, the untouchable king of campus. A cocky, magnetic heartbreaker every girl dreams of. A walking sin with a smirk that ruins and a charm that destroys. A Casanova who collects hearts like trophies… and never keeps one for long. Then there’s Sara, the quiet nerd who loved him in silence. Not just his body, not just the fantasy every other girl wanted, she longed for all of him. His heart. His soul. His love. But when a challenge pulled them together, his goal was to win the game. Hers was to win him. And somewhere in between, everything changed. What was supposed to be fun became chaos, twisting Sara’s already fragile life into a disaster she never saw coming. Yet, when everything crumbles, she clings to the only thing that keeps her alive, her secret blessing. Her heartbeat. Her reason to keep going.

His gaze never left Damien. “We made a promise you seem determined to forget.” Damien lifted his head slowly. His voice, quiet and measured, "I never agreed to belong to anyone" "Starting from tomorrow," his father's voice echoed again, merciless, "you cease to be the CEO. I will take over all decisions until Darla comes of age." "If you want it restored, you know what must be done." Sometimes, fate doesn’t come gently… but it may still lead to something beautiful. Orabella was raised by her father, and though they had little, their life was filled with love until his death changed everything. After he passes, long-buried secrets come to light, including an agreement her father made years ago after saving a man’s life. Now, the man’s son is forced to claim what was promised. He offers Orabella a life far from everything she knows. As she stands at the crossroads between comfort and change, Orabella must decide whether to follow a man with a cold heart who never wanted her and discover if love can bloom where fate first demanded sacrifice.

The morning after, she never expects to see him again. But fate isn’t done with her. The mysterious stranger is Alexander Blackwood, the new CEO taking over her company. Now she’s forced to face him every day. He is smart, confident, and dangerously magnetic.

But with Alexander, nothing stays simple… and nothing will ever be the same. Thank you for reading my work.

Elena Marlowe has built her life on precision. At twenty-four, she is the youngest strategist at a powerful investment firm in Manhattan. Composed. Analytical. Unreadable. In a world dominated by ruthless men, she survives by being sharper than they expect and quieter than they notice. She has no room for chaos. Until Adrian Vale notices her. Adrian is the thirty-year-old CEO of Vale Consortium, a corporate empire that moves markets and influences governments. To the public, he is controlled brilliance—disciplined, reserved, untouchable. Behind closed doors, he is something else entirely: a strategist who studies people the way others study numbers. When Elena crosses his path at a high-profile merger gala, Adrian does not see attraction. He sees alignment. He begins observing her—her tells, her silences, the way her composure fractures for half a second when pressured. And slowly, deliberately, he adjusts the world around her. Meetings align. Opportunities shift. Paths cross too often to be coincidence. It is not force. It is design. Elena senses it before she understands it. The way he anticipates her reactions. The way he knows what she needs before she voices it. The way his presence feels like both safety and danger. Their connection builds through intellectual sparring and quiet intensity. No explosive declarations. No dramatic seduction. Just proximity. Pressure. Precision. But when Elena discovers that Adrian orchestrated their initial encounters, the illusion shatters. What she believed was fate was strategy. And yet… she doesn’t walk away. Because the truth is more complicated. Adrian’s control is not cruel. It is calculated protection. His empire is not purely corporate; beneath the polished skyscrapers lies a web of discreet political alliances and shadow negotiations. Enemies watch him closely. And once Elena becomes visible at his side, she becomes a liability. When a rival targets her during a corporate power struggle, Elena is forced to confront the full weight of Adrian’s world. The danger is real. The influence is vast. The power he wields is terrifying. And the most unsettling truth? He would burn everything down for her. But Elena refuses to be someone’s weakness. Choosing independence, she leaves Adrian and builds her own corporate influence. Months later, she returns—not as his subordinate, not as his possession, but as his equal competitor in a hostile acquisition that threatens to destroy them both. This time, she understands the game. And she plays to win. As betrayal fractures Adrian’s inner circle and his empire teeters on collapse, Elena becomes the unexpected architect of its survival. The power dynamic shifts. The strategist becomes vulnerable. The observer becomes exposed. Adrian must confront the truth he has avoided his entire life: Control cannot replace intimacy. And Elena must decide whether love built on strategy can survive without it. In a final confrontation that blends corporate warfare with emotional reckoning, they redefine their relationship—not as possession, not as dominance, but as choice. Because the most dangerous power is not control. It’s surrender.

Sarah died betrayed. Poisoned by the very family she trusted, she learned too late that her father and his mistress had murdered her mother for wealth — only to discover the entire inheritance had been secretly left to Sarah. When greed turned to desperation, they silenced her too. But death was not her end. She wakes up in the past — before the betrayal, before the poison, before her own murder. This time, she remembers everything. Her fiancé, the man she thought loved her, was secretly in love with her stepsister. Her family was never her family. And the house she called home was nothing but a beautifully decorated trap. This time, she will not be the victim. To rewrite her fate, Sarah marries Andre — a cold, powerful CEO feared in both business and the underworld. Andre is not a gentle man. He is dominant, calculating, and dangerously possessive. When he sets his eyes on Sarah, he doesn’t fall gently — he claims completely. What begins as a strategic alliance soon turns into something darker, deeper, and far more consuming. But even Andre doesn’t realize that his wife is carefully dismantling her enemies from within — turning family against family, exposing secrets, and preparing to make them suffer exactly as she once did. Revenge is her second chance at life. Obsession is his only way to love. When vengeance meets obsession… who will truly be in control?

She’s ready to bury her feelings and move on—until she’s forced into the orbit of the one person she can’t stand: Yu Enhyeok. He’s the “Iceberg” of the elite class—her academic rival, her quiet seatmate, and a man who treats words like they cost money. They don’t talk; they collide. But between forced study sessions and rain-drenched nights, Jiah realizes the cold Yu Enhyeok has a secret warmth she was never supposed to feel. Then, life tears them apart. Ten years later, the seatmate is gone. In his place stands a ruthless CEO with a heart of stone and a memory like a steel trap. Jiah is no longer the girl chasing a boy; she’s an employee under his thumb. And Enhyeok? He isn’t interested in academic rivalry anymore. He’s interested in a debt that’s ten years overdue. “You ran away once, Jiah. Don’t think I’ll let you do it again.” [School Romance → Office Romance | CEO Romance | Enemies-to-Lovers | Slow Burn]

Elara’s first life crashed hard. Cruel tricks ruined her name, broke her dreams, and turned the whole entertainment world against her. Friends betrayed her. Lovers sold her out. Everyone she trusted stabbed her in the back. The pain piled up until she felt trapped with no way out. One night, she couldn’t take it anymore. She walked to the river and ended it all in the cold, quiet water. Later, proof came out. Messages. Recordings. Everything showed she had been framed. People posted apologies online. But it was too late. She was already gone. The universe, though, clearly has a twisted sense of humor. Because somehow, Elara came back. She woke up in her own past, every awful memory still sharp in her head. Right then she made a promise she would never break: protect her gentle grandfather no matter what, and never let anyone push her to that dark place again. This time she steps into the entertainment world with her head high. She trains harder, sings better, fights smarter. The same people who once crushed her? Now they get to feel the pressure. Love? Not happening. Her heart is locked tight. But why is it that as she rises and shines brighter, handsome, powerful men start circling her—guys who never even glanced at her in her previous life were now hovering around her. The actor smiled at her during a press interview, leaned closer, and said softly, “We should have dinner sometime.” The footballer sent flowers so big they blocked her room door. The surgeon she met at a charity event checked her pulse and then forgot to let go of her wrist. The singer she collaborated with kept calling her name during rehearsals, as if the mic could not hear him well enough. Elara stared at the ceiling that night and sighed. She only wanted to sing. Why did everyone look like they wanted to adopt her, date her, or both? But the worst one came after the concert. The lights had just gone off. Her ears were still ringing. Sweat clung to her neck. She had barely stepped backstage when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up. The CEO of the greatest company in Aurelia stood there. The same man who once said her voice was “not worth investing in.” The same man who did not even know her name before rebirth. Now he held her wrist lightly, but firmly. “Let’s talk,” he said. Elara blinked. “About… sponsorship?” “No,” he replied calmly. “About marriage.” Her brain froze. “…What?” “I will give you everything,” he continued, as if asking for a glass of water. “Resources. Protection. Freedom to sing. Become my wife.” Elara stared at him, her mouth open, her thoughts running in circles. This was not how it was supposed to be. Why was the world now skipping steps? NB: This story takes place in a fictional world. Aurelia is a country. Solmere, Veston, and Starfall City are the three capital cities of Aurelia. Other cities, such as Lorien and Crelou, are smaller cities. Everything in this story is a work of imagination.

Because in a world built on secrets-- Love is either your greatest weakness... Or your sharpest weapon.
