Dry Humor

When Luke agreed to marry Lucy Radcliffe to secure his inheritance, Eva had no choice but to walk away. But fate has a twisted sense of humor. Lucy, determined to spite Eva, hires her as the wedding planner for the very event that broke her heart. Despite the pain, Eva takes the job, knowing it’s the perfect opportunity to elevate her brand. But as the wedding preparations force Eva and Luke into close proximity, old feelings resurface, and Luke begins to question his choices. Torn between his duty to his family and his rekindled love for Eva, Luke finds himself in a web of desire and obligation. Enter Gavin Sinclair, Lucy’s arrogant billionaire cousin, who becomes smitten with Eva at first sight. As Gavin relentlessly pursues her, Eva finds herself caught in a tangled love triangle—or perhaps a love quadrangle—where emotions run high, and the stakes are even higher.

Handa kang ipagbili ang sarili mo kapalit ng buhay ng taong pinakamamahal mo?
Para kay Laura, ang sagot ay oo. Pero ang kapalit—isang kontratang nakatali sa dugo at isang lalaking kinatatakutan ng lahat. Si Nikolas, ang tinaguriang Mafia King na walang puso.
Ngunit sa likod ng malamig niyang mga mata, may mga lihim na mas mapanganib pa sa bala.
At nang mabunyag ang totoo na ang halimaw ay isa lamang palabas, at ang tunay na kasalanan ay konektado sa sariling ama ni Laura magsisimula ang laban sa pagitan ng pag-ibig at paghihiganti.
Dahil minsan, ang puso ang pinakamabangis na kontrata sa lahat.

I took a silver bullet for him. I sacrificed my wolf, my career, and my soul to be his perfect mate. In return, Alpha Damon Blackwood gave me a divorce and a devastating truth: our life was a lie. For five years, I was the "weak" Luna of the Blackwood Pack, enduring the sneers of my mother-in-law and the cold indifference of my husband. I even raised a son who wasn’t mine, only to be told I was a placeholder for his true love’s return. Discarded and broken, I walked away. But Damon forgot one thing: before I was his trophy wife, I was Shadow_Cipher—the most feared hacker in the world. Five years later, I’m back. But I’m no longer the girl with the silver-scarred chest and the broken heart. I am Luna Ashford, the billionaire CEO of a global tech empire. I’ve come to strip Damon of his title, his fortune, and his pride. My revenge is a cold, calculated masterpiece—until I meet Draven Craven. He is the Alpha of the Underworld, a ruthless mafia king who bows to no one. The mate bond between us is a violent, magnetic force I never wanted to feel again. He wants to claim me. He wants to protect me. But I’m done being a pawn in the games of Alphas. Damon wants my forgiveness. Draven wants my heart. But I? I’m here for my empire.

"I want a divorce, Liora," said Noah Anderson. Liora never expected to be divorced by her husband—especially after he had an affair with her best friend, Bella. To make things worse, Noah had taken out a huge loan from the bank using Liora’s name as collateral. She was thrown out of her own home and left to carry the burden of her ex-husband’s debts. Years later, Liora returned—no longer the broken woman she once was, but the wife of a powerful billionaire. And this time, she was ready to take revenge on the man who once discarded her like she meant nothing.

Si Celestine Monteverde. Isang matapang, matalino, at tagapagmana ng isang malaking kumpanya. Sanay siya na siya ang may control, siya ang nasusunod. Pero nagulo ang mundo niya nang makilala niya ang equally powerful at cold-hearted CEO na si Adrian Velasco. Ang boss na hindi niya inakalang magiging pinakamalaking gulo ng buhay niya. Isang gabing puno ng tension at hindi mapigilang attraction ang nagbago ng lahat. Now, she’s pregnant with his child. Pero hindi siya yung tipong magtatago o magpapatalo. Kung akala ni Adrian na kaya niyang diktahan ang buhay niya, nagkakamali siya. Sa laro ng kapangyarihan, puso, at lihim. Sino ang talagang mananalo? Ang boss ba na sanay mag-utos, o ang babaeng hindi kailanman marunong sumuko?

She gave him her youth, her loyalty, her heart……only to be betrayed in the cruelest way. Adrian paraded his mistress and their daughter before the world while Serena, carrying his child, was left broken and forgotten. Even her own son was turned against her, calling another woman “Mommy” as if she never existed. Years later, the woman they all discarded returns. No longer weak, Serena is now the dazzling force behind a global empire. Her ex-husband burns with obsession, the mistress grows desperate to destroy her, and the child she lost to lies begins to see the truth. “Why now?” Adrian demands, eyes dark with desire. Serena’s gaze is cold, her smile sharper than glass. “Because this time, I belong to no one… not even you.” Her rise will be their ruin — and her revenge will be unforgettable.

"You either fuck him or you will no longer be a ballerina in my company." The director’s words made me freeze for a moment. My throat went dry, my body numb. This wasn’t supposed to be part of the deal. I trained my whole life for the stage, not to be someone’s prostitute. "When?" I asked, tears already forming in my eyes. "TONIGHT." That one word shattered everything inside me. It wasn’t a request, it was an order.

As usual... Same answer to the same question asked. Cold, hard, dull and dry and cracked just like arid lands... How are you, however, is a normal question. The answer given in return is usually "I'm fine" and it is a clear answer that will follow. After that, the conversation would go away, but the young man's voice froze both the time and the atmosphere with his answer. The conversation was limited to a few short words, and that was what he wanted anyway...

It only takes five words to drag me back to the desolate dry land of Afghanistan. Five simple words and I'm seeing the blast of gunfire behind my head. Five words and I see her drop right in front of my eyes. Five words causes me to lose myself and revert back into the soldier they made me. Five words."Thank you for your service."Nightmare Warrior's MC is created by D.S. Tossell, an EGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
