The Billionaire CEO's Unexpected Love

The Billionaire CEO's Unexpected Love

olivekynate
Morning light stung my eyes. My mouth tasted like regret, and my head throbbed. I groaned, rolling over, and froze. Adrian was beside me, sprawled across the guest bed, his shirt unbuttoned, his breathing soft. My heart stopped. When did he get here? How? I sat up, my hands flying to my clothes. Sweater, jeans, still on. No signs of… anything. Relief hit, then embarrassment. Had I dragged him in here, drunk? Or had he just… stayed? I stared at him, his dark hair messy, his face relaxed in a way I’d never seen. He looked human, not the cold CEO. She loved him in silence for years. He never looked at her twice—until the day his bride ran away. When billionaire CEO Adrian Sinclair is left humiliated at the altar, his world crashes around him. Desperate to save his reputation, he makes a shocking proposal to his loyal assistant, Emily Carter—marry him and be his substitute bride. Emily has loved Adrian from afar, but she knows this marriage is nothing more than a business deal. Still, she agrees, hoping against all logic that she can make him see her in a new light. But just as Adrian starts to fall for his unexpected wife, the past returns with a vengeance. His ex-fiancée is back—this time with a child she claims is his. Now, Emily must fight not only for the love she always wanted but for the family she never thought she could have. And Adrian must decide: will he let the past steal his future, or will he finally fight for the woman who has always been by his side?

Little Mushroom 小蘑菇

Author : Yi Shi Si Zhou 一十四洲 “Until the day humanity falls.” In the year 2020, Earth’s magnetic poles disappeared and humankind was nearly wiped out by cosmic radiation. Within the span of a hundred years, living creatures began to mutate and devour each other while the remaining humans, numbering in the tens of thousands, struggled bitterly in their man-made bases. In the Abyss, home to the mutated xenogenics, there lived a sentient little mushroom. Because it had been nourished by the blood and flesh of the deceased human An Ze, not only did it take on a similar-looking human form, but a similar name as well: An Zhe. An Zhe is determined to go to the human base to search for his spore, which had been harvested by humans. Once there, however, he faces the omnipresent risk of discovery and certain death as he tries to keep his non-human nature hidden from the Judges, whose responsibility is to inspect for and eliminate xenogenics like himself. And of all the Judges, Colonel Lu Feng is the most perceptive and merciless—as soon as he determines that someone is a xenogenic, he will execute that person on the spot. But An Zhe’s mutation goes undetected by Lu Feng’s eyes, and so a tale of humans and xenogenics unfolds…

The Even More Disastrous Life of Saiki K

Just when Saiki Kusuo thought he had finally secured a quiet, asteroid-free life, a cosmic glitch rips through reality itself—thanks to a poorly timed miracle and an unstable psychic reset. The result? Universes begin to collide, and Saiki finds himself unwillingly playing interdimensional host to a cast of absurdly powerful and even more absurdly dysfunctional guests. From explosive mages like Megumin to dramatic shadow-obsessed vigilantes like Shadow, overpowered loners like Jin-Woo, and unpredictable oddballs like Gojo Satoru, Saiki's apartment—and mental stability—is pushed to the limit. His goal is simple: fix the glitch, send these walking headaches back to their own worlds, and finally return to peace and coffee jelly. But just when Saiki thinks he’s turning everything back to normal and getting rid of the uninvited guests, a more eerie, mysterious, and unexplained phenomenon begins to surface—one that no amount of psychic power can fully predict. Something darker is watching from the cracks between worlds… and it might not be as easy to banish. Because sometimes, the real disaster isn’t the guests—it’s what followed them in. Also, who knew dimensional collapse came with this many catchphrases, explosions, and unpaid catering bills? ... Includes: The Disastrous Life of Saiki K Eminence in Shadow Konosuba Re: zero Mushoku Tensei Dr. Stone Chainsawman Jujutsu Kaisen and much more to add.

The Tale of Elias Vale

What if solving a mystery didn’t just change the present… but rewrote the past? After a devastating personal loss, brilliant historian-turned-investigator Elias Vale dedicates his life to solving the unsolvable. But when a high-profile murder in 2025 leaves behind an impossible artefact, an ancient bronze mirror bearing symbols no human should recognize, Elias finds himself drawn into a conspiracy that transcends time itself. Touching the relic doesn’t just unlock memories… it hurls Elias centuries into the past, where he awakens in the body of a stranger living in a pivotal moment of history. In each era, he must solve a brutal mystery embedded in real events, from revolutions and empires to forgotten rituals and sacred betrayals. But with every step backward through time, Elias loses something: his name, his memories, and the truth of who he really is. Across ten areas and ten collapsing identities, Elias follows a trail of relics, each one more dangerous and personal than the last. As he unravels secrets hidden across centuries, from the burning temples of the Incas to the fall of Rome, he begins to suspect he is not a man investigating history... but a ghost shaped by it. Guided only by a cryptic, omniscient narrator, a Watcher who may not be what they seem, Elias uncovers a hidden cipher embedded in each case. Piece by piece, the code reveals a chilling truth that rewrites everything the reader believes.

Born Again, Broke and Beautiful

Alma was filthy rich. Not just “two-holiday-homes” rich — we’re talking private chefs, security guards, family with political ties, the whole luxury package. But none of it mattered. Because Alma was also... hideous. Unattractive in the kind of way people don’t even joke about. She had no friends, no presence, no value to her ultra-conservative family beyond “quietly stay out of the photos.” She didn’t work, didn’t go out, didn’t even get to be mean like the rich girls in dramas. She was just… there. Forgotten in a golden cage. Then one day, she died. And woke up in someone else's body — seventeen years old, absolutely stunning… and dirt poor. No family. No bank account. No backstory. Just a ratty apartment, a school uniform two sizes too tight, and a mysterious note telling her to attend an elite high school immediately. So she does. And this time, she’s not wasting the opportunity. Her goal is simple: Get rich again. With this face? She plans to enjoy every cent of it. But the school she lands in is brutal — full of rich heirs, geniuses, cold-blooded perfectionists and social rules no one bothers to explain. They don’t know who she is. And if they did? They’d make sure she never climbed past the first step. But Nina — that’s what she calls herself now — didn’t come back from the dead to stay at the bottom. She’s smart. She’s gorgeous. She’s faking it. And she’s about to start playing their game better than they ever expected.

One Piece: So What If I Sin, Lie, and Lust? I'm Still a Good Marine

During an internal Navy hearing, the top brass conducted a serious inquiry into Rogers Daren, the so-called "scum of the Marines" and Admiral of the North Blue. "You’ve had improper relations with royal princesses and noble ladies from multiple North Blue kingdoms?" "I call it showing care for the people." Marines High Command: … "How do you explain the absurdly high salaries of the North Blue Marines under your command?" "Well, with what the HQ pays, how else do you expect them to risk their lives?" Marines High Command: (ーー`) "Why is the North Blue fleet equipped with technology from Germa?" "That’s just military-civilian cooperation. Germa 66 was moved by my sense of justice." Marines High Command: (○_○) "And how do you explain the unusual deaths of a Celestial Dragon in the North Blue?" Daren sighed. "A maritime accident… truly unfortunate. I personally express my deepest condolences." Marines High Command: (._.?) And so begins the story of a rebellious, unorthodox Marine.
