Lyra Cross knew exactly what she was doing when she walked down that aisle. Marrying Killian Maddox wasn’t love, it was strategy. A peace treaty in a leather jacket. The Crimson Fangs’ princess had just one mission: infiltrate the Iron Revenants, spy on the enemy, and burn their empire from the inside out. What she didn’t plan for was Dominic “Grave” Maddox. Her new father-in-law. Forty-two. Billionaire. Biker king. Deadly in every way that mattered. One kiss from him, and the mission started to crumble. Somehow he saw through her lies, stripped her walls bare, and made her forget who she was supposed to be. The way he looked at her wasn’t right… it was sinful. And when he touched her, it felt like a war she didn’t want to win. Back home, her father and her biker-boyfriend Marcus were waiting for the signal. They thought she was still their weapon. But Grave made her something else entirely. His. Now she is trapped between blood and desire, vengeance and addiction because the man she’s falling for isn’t just her enemy… he might be the monster who killed her mother. When that truth comes out, it won’t just break their twisted bond. It will start a war that leaves nothing but ash and sin behind.

"Agh, why are you so cruel to me? Why do you, these mighty beings, want to take them away from me? What have they done wrong? I, Xiao Chen, cannot accept any of this—I refuse! Whoever you are—god, demon, or even if you are Heaven itself—I, Xiao Chen, will forge my own path. I will destroy all of you who take everything from me!" The roar of anger from deep within Xiao Chen’s heart revealed his hatred for Heaven’s path and Heaven’s will; walking a different path from the rest, Xiao Chen strove once again to protect the people he loved. He strives not to lose a single person currently by his side; even if he must fight against Heaven itself, defy fate, or even confront all the supreme gods, Xiao Chen will still walk his own path. To avenge himself against Heaven’s will, to destroy the path of Heaven, and to become the supreme being controlled by no one. The path of defying heaven will be extremely arduous, far more so than the path to immortality and becoming a god. For those who constantly defy the will of heaven never end well. Xiao Chen’s journey will continue. Will Xiao Chen become a being uncontrolled by anything? Or will Xiao Chen instead become a being controlled by the will of heaven, just like the others?

Shaun never expected to walk into his father in law beating his cock and moaning his name. He was shocked to say the least, not only because of what he saw but because he thought Thom hated him. For years, Shaun has tried to earn the approval of his father-in-law, Thom, but nothing ever seems to be enough. Every effort is met with quiet rejection, every attempt at connection met with distance that feels deliberate, controlled, and impossible to ignore. When Nancy, Shaun's wife, encourages Shaun to join Thom, her brother Jake and a few of Thom's friend's on a hunting trip, she believes time away from the pressures of work and family might finally ease the tension between the two men. Shaun agrees, seeing it as one last attempt to fix what has been broken for years. What emerges is not reconciliation, but something far more complicated—an emotional war built on control, repression, and truths neither man has ever faced. The trip was supposed to mend a fractured relationship. But instead, it uncovers a devastating truth and started a very dangerous game that threatens to destroy everyone.

My father-in-law, George Lane, suffered from a brain aneurysm and fell onto the ground. The floor was covered in his blood. I calmly picked up a mop and wiped the floor clean. As his daughter-in-law, I gave up on saving him within the most critical time. In my last life, I was the first person who found out that George was injured. I immediately got an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. Before the surgery, the hospital required his immediate family member to sign off the consent form. However, when I asked my husband, Brian Lane to come to the hospital to sign that document, he thought that I was acting out of jealousy because he was spending time with his first-love. He thought I was making an excuse to get him home, so he refused to go to the hospital. In the end, George passed away as he did not receive the treatment on time. Brian did not manage to see George for the last time, and he blamed it all on me. He then hacked me to death. “It’s your fault! My dad was so old, and you didn’t take good care of him as a daughter-in-law! Since you’re not doing your part when he’s alive, then you should continue your duties as a daughter-in-law in hell!” When I opened my eyes, I found myself on the day when George died again.
