Chapter 3

“Adeline Hughes?”

The silence was broken, and soon I was greeted by a chorus of voices recognizing me.

"Adeline Hughes, am I seeing this right? You were quite the looker back in high school. How come you've got so many crow's feet now?"

"I can't believe it. Back then, I couldn't help but admire your pictures online. And now, what happened to your figure?"

Yes, once, my youthful body was full of life. But now, it’s like a balloon long deflated.

"You’ve become an internet sensation for all the wrong reasons. Mind if I interview you? I’m curious where you get the nerve to still make public appearances."

It seemed everyone in this private room was a high school classmate of mine and Marlon Parker’s. Even the woman perched on Marlon’s lap. She was Lisa Smith, who once threatened to take her own life after Marlon turned her down back in school.

At that moment, I wished the earth would open up and swallow me whole. I turned to make my exit, but Marlon blocked my path.

"What? You’re not even going to say hello to some old friends?"

A classmate took the chance to grab my hand and tug me back.

"Since you’re here, why not have a drink with us? It’s been years. Fill us in on your struggles these past years. We could use a good laugh."

Tears welled up in my eyes, yet I fought to keep them from falling.

I bowed my head and murmured, “I’ll ask the manager to send another server.”

But someone from behind encircled me with their arms, preventing my retreat.

"Stay, I want you to serve me."

The unexpected move startled me, and my hand jerked, sending the drinks on the tray crashing to the floor, shattering.

The man stepped back with a sneer. "So touchy! Aren’t you usually game for anything? You certainly put on a show in those online videos."

I bent down, apologizing again and again, "I’m sorry, I’ll get you another round."

Lisa sashayed over, brandishing a bottle of whiskey.

"Is that your idea of an apology? That’s pretty weak. Now drink this."

I bowed lower. "Ms. Smith, I—I can’t drink alcohol."

Marlon picked up a glass and hurled it to the ground at my feet, shards nicking my leg.

"Adeline Hughes! When my Luna gives you an order, you listen. Are you deaf?"

The words "my Luna" hit me hard, and the tears I had held back finally spilled over.

In high school, he’d once draped an arm around my shoulder, imitating a mafia boss in front of our classmates, declaring with pride, "Adeline Hughes is my mate. None of you better even think about her."

Then, I was just a gullible kid, nestled in his arms, eyes full of admiration.

But now, those words were no longer meant for me.

Built upon ancient ruins and fueled by centuries of secrets, it is known as the City of Sins, where pleasure and danger walk hand in hand. Its narrow streets, illuminated by red lanterns and eternal shadows, are the stage for encounters that defy reason: reclusive vampires hiding in decaying mansions, werewolves roaming under the full moon, witches whispering spells in hidden cafes, and mobsters controlling the underworld with iron fists and passionate hearts. At the heart of the city, the Lost Canvas-a secret gallery-holds living portraits of forbidden loves and blood pacts. Each painting is a story, each brushstroke a memory of encounters that have marked generations. It is there that the handsome vampire Adrian, reclusive and mysterious, observes the world without ever fully surrendering.

Between the luxurious salons of socialites, the secret clubs of businessmen, and the alleys where supernatural mafias seal their pacts, the city pulsates with stories of desire and magic. Each encounter is brief but intense: a stolen kiss on a Gothic staircase, a forbidden dance in a hall lit by black candles, a whispered conversation on a ghost train that crosses the city at three in the morning. Lovecraft is made of these instants-moments that seem small, but carry the weight of eternities. The city's inhabitants coexist with the mundane and the supernatural as if they were part of the same fabric. Businessmen negotiate with vampires, artists are inspired by fairies and elves, mobsters share territories with werewolves. It's a metropolis where power is measured not only in money, but also in spells, secrets, and seduction. Terror is subtle, almost elegant, manifesting itself in lingering gazes, in silences that conceal more than they reveal, in pacts that are never written, but always fulfilled. Is a collection of stories that reveal Lovecraft's strengths: his ability to transform the everyday into magic, to make love a danger, and sin a promise. It is a city of wonders and dreams, of obscure encounters and ardent desires, where every corner holds a story and every shadow is an invitation. Lovecraft is not just a setting-he is a character, a lover and accomplice of all who dare to live in his eternal night.
Secret Wife is A Hero Novel Cover

I was Asset 7, a "ghost" kept in a high-security facility with no memory and paralyzed vocal cords. My only value was my silence, making me the perfect disposable tool for the world's elite. Everything changed when I was sold to Culver Lancaster, a media billionaire drugged with a dangerous synthetic aphrodisiac.

They scrubbed my skin raw like a piece of meat and threw me into a dark penthouse with a man who had lost his mind to the drug. Culver didn't treat me like a human; he choked me against a door and used my body as a shield against his own madness.
