Smythe Academy K 6

An meinem Hochzeitstag ließ mein Mafia-Verlobter Ryder Conti seine Männer mich vor der Kirche aufhalten. Stattdessen ging er mit einer anderen Frau am Arm den Gang entlang. Durch das schmiedeeiserne Tor zuckte er mir nur mit den Schultern. „Emilia, die Contis brauchen einen Erben, und Carmela trägt einen Rossi.“ „Sobald ich den Einfluss der Rossis nutze, um meine Position in der Familie zu festigen, lasse ich mich von ihr scheiden. Du bleibst trotzdem meine Frau.“ Alle dachten, ich würde brav nicken und warten, bis er zurückkommt. Zehn Jahre lang hatte ich ihn mehr geliebt als mein eigenes Leben, sogar den Kontakt zu meiner Familie für ihn abgebrochen. Noch in derselben Nacht stieg ich in einen Privatjet nach Sizilien, um eine arrangierte Ehe mit dem Paten der Vettori Familie anzunehmen. Von da an verschwand ich spurlos aus Ryder Contis Welt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mit meinem Ehemann und meinem Kind nach New York zurück, um mich um einen Verräter in der Familie zu kümmern. Zayn hatte noch etwas Dringendes zu erledigen, also schickte er seine Männer, um mich abzuholen. Ich hätte nie erwartet, einem Gesicht aus meiner Vergangenheit zu begegnen. Ryder musterte mich mit einem schiefen Grinsen. „Genug Spaß da draußen gehabt. Wenn du schon angekrochen kommst, passt das perfekt. Carmelas Sohn braucht eine Köchin. Das kannst du machen.“ Warte mal. Er hat mich gerade, die respektierteste Donna der Unterwelt, zur Köchin gemacht?

Mae Fang suddenly discovers she has a sister and a rich family living in Evencrest city, but her parents only want her so they can save their precious Aria from a terrible fate. ~ "The Starweaver Academy is only meant for a selected few." She snarls at my uniform. "It doesn't fit a low life like you-" I cut my mother off with a bite. "But you need me, right? You need me to save your precious Aria." She doesn't answer before sending me off. At the academy, I'm opening my locker when three boys walk up to me. They are triplets! And they growl. "Mate."

"The Academy of Shadows" Elara, an intelligent young woman but completely lacking control in her professional and personal life, is secretly drawn to submission. Upon receiving a mysterious invitation, she joins "The Academy of Shadows," a discreet institution where the most secret desires are explored under the guidance of Master Kael, a Dominator as feared as he is desired. —Kneel, he commands. I resist for a second, out of pride, out of despair, before collapsing, my knees hitting the hard ground. —Good girl, Isadora murmurs, but her voice seems distant, drowned in the buzzing of my own blood in my ears. —Now, he says, you will show me how much you want this. And I know, with terrifying certainty, that I no longer have a choice.

Nia Whitaker built her reputation solving disasters for the powerful. As one of the most sought-after corporate crisis strategists in the country, she’s hired to clean up scandals that could destroy billion-dollar empires. But when a catastrophic data leak threatens SatoTech’s largest acquisition, Nia is pulled into a crisis unlike anything she’s handled before. Because the company’s heir isn’t just another client. Kenji Sato is brilliant, ruthless, and always three moves ahead. A tech empire rests on his shoulders, and he protects it with calculated precision. The deeper Nia digs into the breach threatening his company, the more she begins to suspect the impossible. The crisis may have been engineered. By Kenji himself. But corporate warfare is only the beginning. Rival companies move in the shadows. Government investigators begin asking dangerous questions. And someone inside Kenji’s world is willing to burn everything—including Nia—to seize control of the empire. Caught between enemies, betrayal, and a man whose obsession with her grows more dangerous by the day, Nia realizes she’s no longer just managing a crisis. She’s inside the war. And the man she’s supposed to expose may be the only one powerful enough to protect her. In a game where power is everything, and loyalty can cost you your life, one truth becomes impossible to ignore: Kenji Sato doesn’t just want Nia Whitaker to fix his empire. He wants her. And in his world, the things he wants… he claims.

Princess Camellia Arventia was rejected and mistreated by Emperor Donovan Arventia and Crown Prince Theodore Arventia throughout her life. Born to a consort, she lost her mother shortly after birth and grew up isolated in her palace. Forgotten by everyone, Camellia was used as a fax machine, doing charity work just to improve the image of the imperial family, believing that if she fulfilled her role well, she would be accepted by her family. Camellia ends up getting involved with the Grand Duke of the Empire, the Emperor's cousin, William Valois, who is constantly being sent to war by the Imperial family. On discovering the Emperor's plans to assassinate the Grand Duke, Camellia tries to warn him, but her efforts are in vain and she ends up being accused of treason, tortured, and executed. "Benevolent, you say, glorious empire, you say." I opened my eyes, anger completely overwhelming me at that moment. "My only sin was believing that one day I would be recognized by a family that had always planned my destruction." I freed myself from the executioner's grip, standing up and turning towards the box, where the imperial family watched in shock. "I curse the imperial family and if there is a goddess in this pig-infested world, may she grant me the gift of coming back from the dead and destroying each one of you!" His last request was to take revenge. Will Enora, the goddess of the Arventia empire, grant him this wish?

In the neon-drenched shadows of Nairobi, Alessia wakes from a fatal gunshot with a chilling clarity: she is not who she thinks she is. While her lover, Mafia heir Lorenzo, mourns the woman she was, Alessia’s body begins to "remember" lethal skills, ancient languages, and violent deaths she never lived. She is Subject A, a high-velocity asset in Project Déjà Vu, a global conspiracy by the shadowy organization VANTA. As the "Blood Memory" fractures her reality, Alessia discovers a horrifying cycle: she and Lorenzo have been paired across centuries, engineered to fall in love only to be reset through state-sponsored tragedies.

To win her freedom, Alessia must decide if she can ever truly love the man who has been her executioner for three hundred years. The loop is breaking, the system is crashing, and the blood is finally speaking. "The memory is in the marrow. The revenge is in the soul.”
