Dragged Out

A pair of bodyguards grabbed me by my arms and dragged me out, but I thrashed and squirmed and struggled. "Let me go! Do you have any idea who I am?"

A bodyguard slapped my face, and the impact made me bleed from my mouth.

"Yeah, a mad housekeeper who stole her boss' clothes! You're nothing! Mr. Kissinger's orders. Try anything funny, and we break your legs! Don't get in the way if you know what's good for you! Now scram!"

The bodyguard grabbed my hair and tossed me onto the asphalt outside the backdoor. For some reason, the chill of the ground sobered up my chaotic mind.

I was the heiress of Oliviero International, not some poor woman any bastard could push around. I would make them pay right now. I didn't even want to wait for my dad.

I leaned on the wall as I slowly got back up, then I went to the manager's office right beside the lobby. The manager noticed my disheveled look, and he frowned. "Who the hell are you, woman? This isn't a place for asylum inmates," he said impatiently.

I didn't want to argue, so I tossed a black-gold card over to him.

There were only two of its kind in Imperia.

He would recognize it.

The moment he saw my name on the card, his legs buckled, and he nearly fell from his seat. "M-Ms. Oliviero? But…"

I cut him off coldly, "Get me the top floor suite's surveillance footage. Tonight's. Right now. And tell IT to connect the banquet hall's projector set to the surveillance system. I want a live feed."

Oliviero International could wipe out small businesses like this with a snap of the fingers, so the manager didn't dare delay at all. He wiped the sweat off his forehead as he nodded. "Right away, Ms. Oliviero. Just a moment."

The surveillance screens showed the top floor's corridor clearly. Night fell, and Jackie took Yvonne into a room.

Half an hour later, they came out looking flushed and disheveled.

As I stared at the screen, I sneered and called my father. "Alright, you can do it now, Dad. He'll lose everything he has after tonight."

My dad said calmly, "Of course, Wisteria. It's all ready to go. I was just waiting for your call."

Back in the hall, Jackie was standing on the stage like a successful man. "I have good news, guests! Oliviero International has decided to invest 750 million in my company. We will—"

I pressed a remote button before he could finish. The big screen flashed. What appeared as 'Kissinger Corp and Oliviero International Strategic Partnership' changed to the top floor surveillance footage.

It was showing Jackie and Yvonne sharing a deep kiss.

Jackie's smile froze right away, then he roared at the waiter like a madman, "Turn the screen off right now! Why are you showing this?"

The waiter scrambled and pressed the off switch, but nothing happened. The crowd was flabbergasted. They had no idea what was happening.

Then, my icy voice echoed through the surround sound system. "Do you really think you can take my family's investment money that easily, Jackie? I gave you everything! From the moment you betrayed me, you should know I can take everything away from you!"

At the same time, Jackie got a call from his assistant.

He took the call with a trembling hand. His assistant cried, "Sir, this is bad! Our share prices are plummeting, and all our partners want to cancel their deals. The bank's telling us to pay off our debts right away! We're going to go bankrupt!"

Jilted Bride's Revenge: The Valkyrie Awakens Novel Cover
9.0
I had been a wife for exactly six hours when I woke up to the sound of my husband’s heavy breathing. In the dim moonlight of our bridal suite, I watched Hardin, the man I had adored for years, intertwined with my sister Carissa on the chaise lounge. The betrayal didn't come with an apology. Hardin stood up, unashamed, and sneered at me. "You're awake? Get out, you frumpy mute." Carissa huddled under a throw, her fake tears already welling up as she played the victim. They didn't just want me gone; they wanted me erased to protect their reputations. When I refused to move, my world collapsed. My father didn't offer a shoulder to cry on; he threatened to have me committed to a mental asylum to save his business merger. "You're a disgrace," he bellowed, while the guards stood ready to drag me away. They had spent my life treating me like a stuttering, submissive pawn, and now they were done with me. I felt a blinding pain in my skull, a fracture that should have broken me. But instead of tears, something dormant and lethal flickered to life. The terrified girl who walked down the aisle earlier that day simply ceased to exist. In her place, a clinical system—the Valkyrie Protocol—booted up. My racing heart plummeted to a steady sixty beats per minute. I didn't scream. I stood up, my spine straightening for the first time in twenty years, and looked at Hardin with the detachment of a surgeon looking at a tumor. "Correction," I said, my voice stripped of its stutter. "You're in my light." By dawn, I had drained my father's accounts, vanished into a storm, and found a bleeding Crown Prince in a hidden safehouse. They thought they had broken a mute girl. They didn't realize they had just activated their own destruction.
Legend of Icaros Novel Cover

He was born from the void between stars - a being of immense power, forged from cosmic origins. For thousands of years, he walked among humanity, protecting them and keeping his true strength hidden. After losing the only family he had, grief led him to seek his own end... only to wake up in a world entirely unlike his own. Here, cultivation is the main path to power. Those who master spirit qi gain superhuman strength, speed, and abilities that place them far above ordinary people. Four great sects rule the land, competing for resources, secrets, and dominance over each other. Icaros joined the Li Sect, where he found companions he came to trust and care for: the capable and easygoing Li Han, the sharp and composed Su Yan, and the spirited Nelly. For a time, he felt he had found a place to belong, even as he kept his true nature hidden and wondered whether he could ever learn to cultivate like those around him. Everything changed when their voyage was suddenly attacked. A powerful figure floating in the sky cut their ship apart with sharp, devastating energy strikes, leaving only destruction in his wake.

He unleashed his full power: golden light blazed from his eyes, he flew at incredible speed, and he broke through every barrier and enemy in his way. On the shores ahead, he tore through hordes of powerful jade monsters, destroying them completely before flying deep into the interior of the island. Meanwhile, survivors washed up scattered and alone. One young cultivator found himself on the shores of Jade Island - a place most cultivators avoid, as it holds no treasures or useful materials, only danger and endless deposits of ordinary jade. Yet despite the risks, ordinary people have built settlements here, finding safety from the conflicts and power struggles of the outside world. This island works by different rules. Spirit qi is scarce and unstable, making cultivation far less effective than elsewhere. Instead, the people here rely on advanced technology - weapons and explosives that can injure or even defeat those with great physical strength. Here, skill and preparation can be just as powerful as raw strength, and even the strongest cultivators must move with caution. Now, Icaros has vanished deep into the island. His companions are lost somewhere across this dangerous land. And the mysterious swordsman who destroyed their ship has already arrived here, searching for an ancient map said to lead to the legacy of a being from another world. Will they find each other again? And can anyone survive in a place where the usual rules of power no longer hold true? ✅ Chapters 1–19: FREE 🔒 Chapters 20 onwards: PAID (Continue the journey of power, friendship, and discovery!)
