Swapped Fate Curse

On our wedding day, my childhood sweetheart and fiancé ended his life by jumping off a building. Before he died, he left behind a mysterious note, and anyone who read it suffered the same tragic fate. First, it was his grandmother, then his father followed, leaping from the rooftop of an eighteen-story building. Each day, I was consumed by grief and despair. I pleaded with Esther, my mother-in-law, to tell me what the note said. Yet, she remained silent. Even when others offered vast sums out of sheer curiosity, she kept her lips sealed. Until the day I remarried, she whispered those fateful words to my new husband... --- My husband disappeared on the very day we were supposed to get married. That morning, I was in the bridal suite making the final preparations when my phone rang unexpectedly.

Chapter 3

In just a few days, our family suffered the loss of three members, and the news quickly spread throughout the neighborhood. Rumors swirled among the locals; some claimed we were cursed, while others suggested a string of murders. The police returned to our house, and this time their demeanor was noticeably different.

A young officer, looking concerned, spoke seriously, "This situation is too unusual. We need to see that letter."

Esther sat on the couch, her head bowed in silence. I noticed her rubbing her little finger repeatedly—a telltale sign she wasn't being truthful.

"The letter... My husband already burned it," she murmured, her voice slightly trembling.

A shock ran through me—Esther was lying. But why? What could be so frightening in that letter that she felt the need to hide it?

The officers exchanged uneasy glances, clearly dissatisfied with her answer. They continued questioning, hoping to uncover some leads. I sat there, half-listening to their conversation, my mind elsewhere.

Suddenly, I looked up to find Esther's gaze; her eyes were a storm of emotions—sorrow, fear, and guilt. A chilling thought struck me: if the letter was truly that dreadful, did it mean something terrible for those who read it?

My heart raced, overshadowed by a sense of foreboding. Esther knew something, yet she chose to keep it secret. Why?

The police's questioning yielded no concrete evidence of foul play, and they eventually left. The young officer gave me a meaningful look on his way out, as if to say, "If you remember anything, feel free to contact us."

The room was left with just me and Esther, an oppressive silence hanging between us like an invisible barrier. I hesitated before speaking, "Mom, what did that letter really say?"

Esther's lips moved as if to speak but then fell silent. She shook her head, "I don't know."

No matter how I pressed, Esther insisted she didn't know the letter's contents. The weight of depression became unbearable, so I turned to medication and therapy for relief.

Whenever the darkness crept in, I'd find myself kneeling before Esther, begging for any hint of the letter's mysteries. But she would only shake her head in silent resignation.

"They're better off dead..." she would mutter, her eyes vacant.

In moments of clarity, guilt overwhelmed me. They were her closest family—the pain she bore was far greater than mine. What right did I have to force her to relive such horrors?

Continue to next part

I died alone in the medical wing giving birth to our son. "Tell her to calm down and stop the theatrics." Those were the last words my mate, the Alpha, said about me while I bled out. Instead of passing on, my soul was tethered to the packhouse. I was forced to watch my best friend Seraphina seamlessly step into my life, taking my baby and my husband before my body was even cold. To secure her place, she planted my blood-soaked birthing blanket in the woods to frame me for faking my own kidnapping. Ryker swallowed her lies completely. He refused to send a search party, telling the entire pack my disappearance was just a pathetic plea for attention and money. As a helpless ghost, I watched Seraphina brainwash my one-year-old son into calling her his mother and teach him to joyfully trample my beloved garden. "Bad mommy ran away. Don't love Kaelen." Hearing my own child parrot those venomous words was a dagger to my soul. Whenever anyone questioned my absence, Ryker fiercely defended her, dismissing the desperate warnings of my loyal friends and his own elders. The man I loved and died for treated my memory like a malicious joke, grateful for an excuse to replace me while living with my murderer. But when Seraphina's mask finally slipped, and the horrifying truth of my death crashed down on him, it was far too late. Seeing him crumble in agonizing regret brought me no comfort. I no longer wanted his love or his desperate apologies. Now, I only wanted his absolute ruin.

When Amara Nwosu, a broken Nigerian photographer, lands in the vibrant heart of Lumeria, all she wants is silence- a place to heal, a city to disappear in, and a project to keep her hands busy while her heart stays numb. But Lumeria has its own plans. The city hums with color and chaos, music and memory, and somewhere between the rain-soaked markets and golden riverbanks, she crosses paths with Kairo Mbeki - an architect with a past as heavy as hers and eyes that see far too much. Their worlds collide under the weight of coincidence, and something unspoken sparks between them: a pull neither of them wants to name, a connection that feels both familiar and forbidden. As Amara's camera begins to capture the soul of Lumeria, Kairo becomes the part of it she cannot frame - the one thing she can't walk away from. But love in Lumeria isn't simple. Between family expectations, personal scars, and the ghosts of everything they've lost, both must decide whether healing means holding on... or finally letting go. In a story of second chances, cultural beauty, and quiet resilience, Call Me by Your Name reminds us that sometimes, love doesn't ask for grand gestures - it just asks to be seen.

Captive Of The Ruthless Underground King

I was living as a ghost in a run-down trailer park, trying to outrun a past that would kill me if it ever caught up. Then the storm hit, and a dying monster collapsed through my door, bringing the smell of copper and the promise of a very different kind of death. I tried to defend myself with a cheap butcher knife, but Darius didn't just disarm me—he acquired me. Before the rain even stopped, I was drugged and whisked away on a private jet, waking up in a luxury penthouse that was nothing more than a high-tech cage overlooking the city skyline. He didn't just want my silence; he wanted total control. When I begged to check on my sick grandmother, he threw a manila envelope on the table filled with surveillance photos of her at her nursing home. "I own the board of that facility," he said, his voice cold as ice. "One call from me, and she dies alone on the street." He vetted my life in that trailer park down to my medical records and childhood diaries, convinced he had every lever of power needed to keep me obedient. He forced me into silk dresses and expected me to be his domestic pet, a quiet girl waiting for him to return from his world of shadows and blood. I played the part, letting him pull me into his lap and bury his face in my neck, pretending to be the broken girl he thought he’d bought. I watched his security cameras, calculated his blind spots, and waited for the moment his exhaustion outweighed his instinct. Darius thinks he knows me because he saw where I lived, but he’s never been more wrong. His investigators found the pauper, but they completely missed the princess with an Ivy League degree and a family name that carries more weight than his illegal empire. He thinks he’s the one holding the leash, but he has no idea who he’s actually brought into his home. The game has just begun, and this time, the "asset" is going to be the one who burns the house down.

Raising the Wolves

My father raised seven brilliant orphans to be my potential husbands. For years, I only had eyes for one of them, the cold and distant Caspian Vance, believing his distance was a wall I just had to break through. That belief shattered last night when I found him in the garden, kissing his foster sister, Lyra—the fragile girl my family took in at his request, the one I had treated like my own sister. But the true horror came when I overheard the other six Ashworth Fellows talking in the library. They weren't competing for me. They were working together, orchestrating "accidents" and mocking my "stupid, blind" devotion to keep me away from Caspian. Their loyalty wasn't to me, the heiress who held their futures in her hands. It was to Lyra. I wasn't a woman to be won. I was a foolish burden to be managed. The seven men I grew up with, the men who owed my family everything, were a cult, and she was their queen. This morning, I walked into my father's study to make a decision that would burn their world to the ground. He smiled, asking if I'd finally won Caspian over. "No, Dad," I said, my voice firm. "I'm marrying Silas Blackwood."
