God's Game Chapter 1

In the glittering world of wealth and power, where every smile was calculated and every gesture choreographed, Ann Sinclair is left wondering ‘what had she truly signed up for? Now that she was married to Lucas Montgomery, the internet giant. The game of marriage had begun, and neither of them knew just how dangerous it would become.

I was his one weakness. Don Alex, the king of New York. And I was his queen. But days before our child was due, I was thrown into the Dockside Deathmatch—a cruel game broadcast for the underground world’s entertainment. The bullets flew, hidden traps lay in wait, and my every terrified, pathetic attempt to survive was broadcast live on giant screens. Then, I heard his second-in-command on the loudspeaker. "Boss, your wife's about to pop. You sure you wanna be here?" I froze. Alex was here? A moment later, a woman’s sugary voice dripped through the speakers. "Forget that bitch. Alex told me the only thing that mattered today was being here with me. Right, honey?" It was Scarlett. The Chicago Outfit's princess. Alex's childhood sweetheart from Chicago, a woman he had always pampered and shown a distinct bias towards. He had turned down her advances for years, but he never refused her whims. Today, she was in a bad mood and insisted on watching the deathmatch, so he was here to keep her company. I screamed for Alex, begged him for help, but he was convinced I was an assassin in disguise. Because Scarlett laughed and said the game needed to be more exciting. So he pressed the button. Vicious patrol dogs hunted me. My water broke, mixing with blood on the ground. I was in agony. The game hit its climax as more dogs and gunmen closed in from all sides. Everyone was betting on who would be the next to die. Alex smiled, his voice a low, careless drawl, "I’ll bet on that filthy pregnant woman to die." He didn't know the truth until I bled out on an operating table, our child dead with me. They say the ruthless Godfather shattered. Broke completely.

"I love you, I really really do~ please marry me" I closed my eyes in fear as I kneeled in front of the devil itself who had his hands warped around the female lead. The next thing I knew I stood in the wedding hall wearing the white suit while in front of the Villain itself putting the ring on my finger. "Now I declare you as husband and hu-husband? you may kill your husband" It was supposed to be a straight Otome game where I was supposed to be dead while saving the FL. But here and I married to the villain itself. "WHEN DID IT TURN INTO BL?" I don't own the cover as I just did the editing of the art and credit goes to its owner

Oxane est un numéro : Alpha-07. Élevée dans la rigidité clinique de l'Institution, elle n'a jamais connu que l'Ordre, les règles, et les douloureuses injections de fréquences qui canalisent sa force. Comme les autres Alphas, elle est une arme vivante, forcée d'accepter l'autorité incontestée du Maître et de son bras droit, le Professeur Kai. Mais Oxane porte en elle le secret d’une vie volée. Hantée par la mort inexpliquée de ses parents et les bribes d’une enfance passée dans une mystérieuse "Maison Bleue", elle remet tout en question. Sa seule confidente est Kéros, une Intelligence Artificielle sarcastique et invisible logée dans son esprit, qui est peut-être la seule chose à l'avoir maintenue saine d'esprit. Quand une quête de vérité la pousse à la rébellion, Oxane découvre qu'elle n'est pas qu'une simple Alpha. Elle est l'Incontrôlable, la seule capable de fusionner toutes les fréquences, un point de chaos pur que même le Maître craignait. Poursuivie par ses anciens frères Alphas (dont Flint et Sydra, qui deviendront ses alliés les plus fidèles) et l'Institution tout entière, Oxane doit naviguer dans un monde qu'elle ne connaît pas. Son seul objectif : atteindre le Cœur de l'Institution, l'entité énergétique qui maintient l'Ordre et la prison de tous les Alphas. Mais que faire lorsque la vérité est plus dangereuse que le mensonge ? Oxane peut-elle se fier à Kéros, l'IA qui prétend être son guide, alors qu'il est la première création de son ennemi juré ? En libérant le chaos qu’elle incarne, risque-t-elle de briser le monde ou de libérer une prison ? Le destin des Alphas repose sur la jeune femme la plus explosive de l'univers. Bienvenue dans l'ère de la désobéissance.

"MAPAGLARONG TADHANA." Ito lagi ang aking bukambibig sa tuwing binabalikan ko ang masasayang ala-ala ng nakaraan. Ang dati na masayang pamilya na binuo ng aking mga magulang na ngayon ay hindi ko na yata masisilayan pa. MAGDA ang tawag sa akin. Tulog sa umaga, gising sa gabi. Hindi ko ginusto ang kapalaran kong ito. Isang tanikalang bakal na tila nakagapos sa aking mga paa na kahit pilit akong kumawala ay wala akong magawa. Wala na bang pag-asang makaahon sa putik na aking kinalugmukan? Huli na ba ang lahat?

He was a Kung Fu head trainer, who was framed by his two trainees in a rape and murder case of Clushia, a female trainee, who was obsessed with him. He was convicted and brought to the maximum penal institution called the 'Hellhole', for no prisoner got out of it alive. In one of the prisoners’ riots, he was forced to fight to defend himself but ended up killing another prisoner. He was put to an oubliette. Unknown to him, that oubliette is the door to an underground city, with an arena for the so-called “Game of Fangs and Death” by the Alpha Pharoah. The game is for five nights. If he wins, he will be given a free pass leading to a secret passage, away from the 'Hellhole'. Could there be an escape for him from the 'Hellhole'? Could his heart find an escape from the Alpha Pharoah's daughter, who has a lot of similarities to Clushia? It was like, Clushia had been born again through her. Would suddenly his never known powerful blood and lineage eventually help him escape from his death?

Looking at the bright sun, which is not so bright right now hiding itself to create darkness all around totally makes me think about my present situation. I heard that sound of footsteps entering the room, so I turned around and said, “Hey!” “Don’t start now. You will get your wish soon.” he said removing his coat. “We can’t!” I said, looking at him. “What do you mean? All these days you are asking nothing but for divorce papers. Now they will reach you in a few days for sure. Now why are you saying we can’t?” he asked with a completely blank expression. “I am pregnant!” I mumbled. “What?” he asked, stepping towards me in shock. “I.Am.Pregnant!” I said each word with force and then let the darkness consume me.

The Horror Game invaded the world. Real players entered the game, and their every move would be broadcast live. My adopted son shoved me—an eighty-eight-year-old woman—straight into a deadly dungeon to save his own skin. One of the comments in the live stream predicted: [What? They’re tossing in such an elderly woman? No way she’s gonna survive the first night!] On the first night, a frost-bitten ghost exhaled icy breath in my face. I shrugged off my thick floral coat, feeling sorry for her. “You poor thing! You must be freezing. Listen to me and bundle up quickly!” The second night, a starving ghost lunged at me with blood dripping down his chin. I sniffed the air, then found a jar of pickled cabbage. “Look at how skinny you are! Come on, let me get you something hot to eat.” On the final day, the last surviving players tied me up, desperate to steal the one ticket to escape. However, before they could touch me, every ghost in the dungeon came storming out, cleavers and rolling pins in hand. “Touch her, and you’re dead meat!”

For the people to feel the Royalty of the blood in their veins doesn’t mean that they are ruling their kingdom, or they have some Kingdom. Their lineage to the ancestors who are former and last rulers is more than enough to get the pride of being a royalty which they were taught from the time they started learning things. Three Princes who are not going to rule someplace, but they have the title because of their bloodline and have education, wealth and skills in many things at the top range. However, to be able to love is a wealth which cannot be achieved by simply thinking about it or by some lineage. They may be the Princes in the matter of their birth and the life they are leading, but they will learn more about the real wealth from three women who are princesses by heart. The things they believe and trust will build a wall stopping the love from these princesses to reach them. Will it be broken to make it possible? If it is, then how and by whom? Or will prove to be too late by the time it breaks? Join the journey of six people who are in different moments in their lives, but destiny always has a way with them…
