Chapter 2

After school, the classroom was completely empty, which made Zachary's voice sound unusually loud to me.

"Natalie, I truly like Viv," he said.

Zachary held Vivian's hand and gently guided her to stand behind him.

I came back to my senses and looked at the two of them. Their faces were still youthful, and for a moment, I felt disoriented.

My throat tightened. I said nothing and simply lowered my head to pick up my backpack from the floor. My hands trembled slightly, and I failed to zip it closed despite several attempts.

Zachary looked at me. His tone remained cold and unyielding. "If you want to cry, then cry. I'm not going to give in."

Vivian suddenly dropped to her knees with a thud, her voice shaking with sobs. "I'm sorry, Natalie. This is my fault. I shouldn't have appeared in Zach's life. If you want to hit me or yell at me, I'll accept it all."

I didn't look at her and kept my eyes fixed on Zachary.

Seeing her on the floor, Zachary immediately helped her to her feet and held her protectively.

"It was my fault for not understanding my own feelings," he said. "I only ever saw you as a younger sister, Natalie."

Even though I had lived through all of this before, I still couldn't accept his words.

Every morning, he would bring a warm cinnamon roll—my favorite—on our way to school.

On rainy days, when my beloved shoes got dirty, he would crouch down without caring about appearances and wipe them clean. Then he would carry me on his back as he walked.

Even after years of people teasing us by calling me his fiancee, he never once denied it.

Yet in the end, he said I was only like a sister to him.

I nodded and forced a smile. "Alright, let's call off our engagement. Be good to her. I'll explain everything to my parents."

Zachary froze for a moment. He clearly hadn't expected me to agree so readily.

His voice softened slightly. "Don't worry. I'll still treat you the same way I always have."

He reached out to wipe my tears, but I gently dodged his hand.

"There's no need for that," I said.

I wiped my face on my own. "I'm not feeling well today, so I'll head home first."

Beast World: They Hated Me, Then I Cooked Them Dinner Novel Cover
9.1
Waking up with a cold, scaly hand wrapped around my throat wasn't the worst part. The worst part was realizing I'd transmigrated into the body of Terra Mason—the most despised woman in the entire Enclave. She drugged high-level beast-men and forced them into life-binding bio-contracts. She locked an aquatic warrior in a dry basement until his organs failed. She treated the most lethal males in the city like broken toys. Zev, the Level 6 serpent who's currently choking me, would rather blow up his own heart than spend another day as my slave. His affection metric? Negative ninety. His trust? Zero. Then my system activates: the Kore AI. It gives me exactly 500 credits, a medical nano-gel, and a recipe for neutralizing the radioactive poison in mutant meat. Real food. In this world, that's worth more than gold. I save Rhys, the dying aquatic male everyone left for dead. I season a slab of purple mutant steak until Sam, a battle-scarred grizzly shifter, groans at the taste—and his trust points finally tick above zero. When my backstabbing ex-best friend tries to steal my males and destroy me, I don't scream or throw a tantrum like the old Terra. I dismantle her with the truth. But earning their trust means more than grilling meat. A scorpion swarm ambushes us at midnight. Sam throws himself between me and a stinger the size of my arm. As he stands over the corpse, fur receding from his claws, he stares at me and whispers, "You were testing me." Yes. I was. Because in this world, the weak don't survive. And I refuse to be weak again. Four beast-men. Four contracts. One system. And a whole lot of steak. Let this dystopian wasteland know—I'm not the monster they remember. I'm worse. I'm the one who's going to feed them until they'd kill for me.
Broken Doll's Revenge: The Heiress's Sting Novel Cover
7.8
I was Grayson Warren’s "broken doll," a disgraced socialite kept on a short leash to pay off my family’s debts. To the world, I was a fragile liability; to Grayson, I was a pet he could humiliate for sport, forcing me to play the role of a mentally unstable girl while I secretly gathered evidence against his empire. The cruelty peaked when Grayson forced me to break three years of sobriety in front of his investors, mocking my struggle before making me kneel on a golf course to scrub his shoes. He treated my life like a game, literally betting my sanity against a corporate board seat while he soft-launched a new relationship with a high-profile PR queen. When the pressure triggered a massive panic attack, Grayson abandoned me in a private clinic just so he wouldn't miss a dinner reservation. Even my own mother turned against me, threatening to leak my psychiatric records and brand me a "violent delusional" if I didn't beg for Grayson’s forgiveness. I was trapped between a man who owned my debt and a mother who valued her estate over my daughter’s life. I realized then that they would never let me go; they would only break me until there was nothing left. They thought they had erased my soul, but they forgot I was the only witness to the night my true love, Felix, was murdered. I was done being the victim. I faked a suicide jump off the Queensboro Bridge to go off the grid, then crashed Grayson’s elite gala in a dress that signaled his downfall. Just as Grayson tried to physically crush me one last time, the room went silent. Felix Law, the man the world thought was dead for three years, walked out of the shadows with a federal warrant in his hand. "Take your hands off her, Warren." The game didn't just change; it ended. Felix was back from the dead, and this time, we were burning the empire to the ground together.
