Eldritch Entity

I was in the middle of hosting an important international meeting when my younger brother’s sudden call interrupted me. On the other end, his voice was low and trembling. "Matt, someone took my spot for the exchange student program." I rushed to his school right away, only to find him cornered in an office, his eyes slightly red. A cocky-looking boy was pointing at Tim’s nose, his face full of arrogance. "You want to compete with me? I’m the heir of the Smiths in Ardenford. My mom just donated an entire lab building to the school! Who do you think you are?" Even the teacher nearby spoke up in support of him. "Timothy, the Smiths are one of our school’s major benefactors. You’d better be sensible and not cause any trouble." I was about to step forward and confront them when those words—the Smiths in Ardenford—made me stop cold. The Smiths in Ardenford? Since when did my mom have a third son besides me and my brother, Timothy? I immediately dialed her number, a cold laugh slipping from my lips. "Mom, when did you have another son behind Dad’s back?"

Generalized amnesia. That was the diagnosis Cassie got 4 years ago after waking up from a coma with no memory of her past or who she was. She had to re-learn who she was and about the world from her uncle but the problem is…he’s not telling her the whole truth and with them moving frequently and changing identities, Cassie is sure something is up. Plagued with nightmares and haunted by her lost memories, Cassie manages to build a life for herself with a home, a job and a boyfriend but her entire world is turned upside down when she gets framed at work, betrayed by her boyfriend and is being chased by unknown people. As her world crumbles around her, Helix Voss, the powerful and enigmatic CEO strolls into her life with an air of danger and mystery. His arrival leaves Cassie utterly confused as this mysterious man seems to know her better than she knows herself and even the past she can no longer remember. When the danger intensifies, Helix reveals his other identity, a Mafia King, and offers Cassie not only the answers she craves but a place by his side as his queen. Forced into a world of secrets and deadly alliances, Cassie finds herself drawn deeper into Helix’s world—where power, loyalty, and love are tested at every turn and she soon finds that she might have more to do with this world than she realizes. With enemies closing in and truths that could shatter her, Cassy must decide: Will she crumble under pressure? or rise to the throne as the Mafia King's Queen?

Three years ago, I rescued the CEO of the Patton Group. That very night, he appeared at my door with his grandson and proposed marriage. I'd secretly loved the young man for seven long years, so I accepted it without hesitation. For three blissful years, Damian Patton showered me with affection so profound it sparked envy in everyone around us. But the illusion shattered when the Patton family's adopted daughter returned from abroad. I stumbled upon him cradling her tenderly and whispering words of devotion. "Grandpa won't hand over the company until Serena gives birth to an heir. But I don't care about inheritance anymore. I want to marry you now." Harriet Patton's lips curved into a sultry smile. "No rush, darling. I want you to marry me as the rightful heir to the Patton empire. Just promise me you won't fall for her." His eyes softened. "Seven years ago, you pulled me out of that fire. I swore then to love you forever." Those words crashed over me like an avalanche, burying my heart under a crushing weight of betrayal. His love for me had been all a lie. I was the one who had braved those flames to save him. It was not her.

I am Evelyn Scott, a replacement for my sister’s wedding after they found out about Sterling’s wealth. Evelyn’s family especially her stepmother, Jane wanted to get rid of her from the house and decided to send her off to get married to Adrian, an ordinary man who always brought troubles to the Sterling family. Little did they know, Adrian conceals a hidden identity that could change everything if revealed. “I’m sorry, I’m late,” Adrian uttered as he arrived late at the wedding. Evelyn smiled at him, “It’s okay, what’s important is that you’re here.” As they spend their time together, Evelyn finds herself drawn by how gentle Adrian is. He was always attentive to her, and it seemed like he was washing her problems and worries away. It was the very first time that Evelyn felt something like this to someone. “I… like you,” she confessed. Adrian smiled, cupping his hands onto her face. He gently kissed her forehead. “Me too. I like you so much.” Can this kind of love would have a happy ending after? Will they be strong and stay together until the end? Would Evelyn stay if she found out the truth about her husband?

All I did was post a photo of the exquisite pink diamond necklace my dad gave me for my birthday. An intern, however, confronted me in front of everyone. “Miss Anderson, why is my necklace with you? Do you think being a manager gives you the right to steal from others?” I calmly explained that it was a birthday gift from my dad, personally purchased at an auction. She didn’t believe me. Instead, she pulled out surveillance footage showing me entering and leaving her office and flat-out accused me of being a thief. “Some people can’t get what they want, so they resort to stealing. Do you honestly think taking a necklace means you can take over someone’s entire life? And you’re actually trying to pass yourself off as the heiress of Anderson Corporation? Isn’t that completely ridiculous?”

Lyka is a simple woman, jolly, funny and kind-hearted. She accepted her fate when her father died. She became a nanny in her own house because of her stepmother but she never blamed her father for marrying again before but now she seeks freedom. One day, her cousin Kyla visited her and brought her away from her miserable life. They hung out together and even bought her everything she needed. She thought Kyla was just so good to her because they were relatives. Days passed, when Lyka heard a sudden news that her stepmother wanted to sell her to those loan sharks. She was terrified and immediately planned on escaping. She went far away even though she didn't want to leave her younger step brothers. She doesn't have a choice but to go far away.  On her new journey, new life, new apartment, her cousin Kyla suddenly showed up and begged her to act as her substitute as a bride. She immediately said no even though they really look alike. But things changed when Lyka knew her cousin was in danger. She made a choice to agree with the said plan.  She was anxious to meet her husband. Kyran was not fond of this kind of arrangement but was forced to have her beside him. Would they click with others or would it be a disaster?

My twin sister died on her 18th birthday. She died of respiratory failure in a dark corner of a hotel after being raped. Her dearest friend, Joanne Lowe, whom she always cared for and supported, turned around and anonymously spread photos of my sister being raped. I then slowly ruined the face which had so badly wanted to replace my sister with a knife. With blood everywhere, I cradled Joanne's face as if it were a piece of art and said, "My beloved sister is gone, and you people who harmed her won't be let off so easily."

Attending a high school reunion, I rode my motorcycle to the venue. By the time I arrived at the Moon Valley Hotel, most of my former classmates were already there. Everyone seemed to be doing well for themselves. The parking lot was filled with luxury cars belonging to high-ranking pack members. There was even a Rolls Royce that belonged to the son of an Alpha. As I dismounted from my motorcycle, a former male classmate I barely remembered looked at me with disdain. "Well, well, if it isn't our former class president. Still riding a basic bike like an omega, I see." During dinner, everyone was fawning over the Alpha's son while completely ignoring me in the corner. Only Derek, our former class monitor and now a beta, sat beside me with a sympathetic look. "Don't worry about it. Even though you're still just an omega like your parents, I'm sure one day you'll rise up in the pack rankings." I couldn't help but smirk, whispering under my breath: "This isn't just any motorcycle. It's the Royal Guard's official vehicle."
