Neal Stephenson Snow Crash

Anastasia Brooke is the Estineian Empire's princess.

Nonetheless, she resists the urge to give in to her loneliness and shame. She maintains her adventurous character by taking on difficult undertakings and attempting to be independent. Until one day, she comes upon a man covered in his own blood, in the middle of a snowy woodland. As quirky as she is, she looks for clues as to where this man comes from. She later finds out his true identity. Who would have imagined that Ana would eventually meet the dragon, who is said to have existed since the dawn of time?

Sophia Martinez thought her graduation trip would end with a ring on her finger, but instead, it ended with betrayal. When she caught her boyfriend tangled in bed with her roommate, she did what any heartbroken girl with non-refundable vacation tickets would do. She went to Santorini alone. But what was supposed to be a solo getaway turned scandalous when a smoking-hot stranger walked in on her… in a very compromising position. Angry, humiliated, and ready to raise hell, Sophia reported him to the hotel only to find out the room actually belonged to him. One night. One room. One wildly heated poker game that ended with a one-night stand. Months later, Sophia lands her dream job… only to walk into the boardroom and come face to face with the man from Santorini. Julian Wilde. The cold, commanding billionaire CEO who now holds her career—and her heart—in his hands. He pretends not to know her. She pretends not to care. But their chemistry refuses to stay buried. What begins as a forbidden office romance soon spirals into something deeper—darker—especially when Sophia learns the shocking truth: Julian’s powerful family might be the reason her father lost everything. Now, torn between revenge and love, Sophia must decide. Will she destroy the man she loves to avenge her family? Or protect him and lose herself in the process?

As I head to see my boyfriend, Howard Schultz, who is working late, I get into a car accident. I call him dozens of times for help, but he doesn't answer a single one. Staring at his brightly lit office building not far away, I sink into despair. When I wake up in the hospital, I see a post from his subordinate. It's a picture showing the reflection of the two of them in the glass door, standing far closer than they should, with the caption, "What do I do when my boss is scolding me late at night?" Unwilling to believe it, I call him again. This time, he finally answers. My voice trembles. "Howard, I got into a car accident…" "Celine, I'm still working. I'll send my assistant to take care of it, okay? Be good. I'll see you after I come back from my business trip." I try to say more, but his angry shout suddenly cuts through the line. "Crystal Jennings! You're only allowed to bring one suitcase for this trip. Why do you have three? Do you think we're going on vacation?" Crystal Jennings—the new intern Howard just hired. I stare at the disconnected call, tears drying on my cheeks. I then call my parents instead. "I agree to the engagement you arranged."

This tale is about the princess who made her happily ever after- and to do that, she needed to be wicked like her stepmother. ------ "Run!" Snow doesn't have the choice but to follow prince Arthur.

I can't go back...the queen soldier is all over the place and this is the only place they won't dare to go..." she uttered. Although her whole body was trembling, Snow continued her walk but she made a full stop. "Grr..." Snow's eyes widened as the cold sweat broke out on her forehead. " It looks like I can't escape death tonight..."

On the road, I met a woman unlike anyone I had ever seen before. Her name was Janet Smith. She seemed slow and almost childlike, yet she had been wandering alone for two years without ever going home. Even with one leg crippled, she had forced herself to climb the Highveil Mountains. This time, however, she was caught in a blizzard. Injured and stranded, she could no longer make her way down. As her vision blurred and her strength slipped away, tears covered her face. She placed a pair of small handmade clay dolls in my hands. "I'm probably going to die here," she murmured. "Please give these to my adoptive brother, Chester Graham." She was clearly at death's door, yet her smile was soft and unexpectedly serene. "Tell him I've seen enough of the world. I don't love him anymore. And tell him he doesn't need to worry. I'm not so foolish now. I won't cause trouble for anyone again." Chester? At the sound of his name, I stood rooted to the spot. In Riverton City, everyone who worked at the harbor knew him, the so-called Ship King. Right before I left for the mountains, news of his engagement had been everywhere.

Warning: Mature content involved. They say love can heal all wounds. I learned it was the first lie. I married Damian Reeve, believing in us, believing in hope, only to find I was nothing more than a tool…a vessel for his heirs, a pawn in a game I never agreed to play. Betrayed by the man I trusted, abandoned by my own family, and humiliated by the woman I thought was my friend, as if that wasn't enough I was diagnosed with a killer disease–congnitive identity regression disorder. (CIRD) But just when I thought I could start over, Damian , West and other Alphas alongside Enigmas came and they brought along troubles with them. What was this life going to be like now?
