Novel & Cerita Sub Zero Mortal Kombat Scorpion

After my husband got his cheat ability, the very first thing he did was kick me out. His family threw me out by the scruff, and used my precious, life-saving money to hoard as much ice and cold drink as he could. He threw every single article of thick clothes and blankets, swearing to build the strongest ice oasis in the heatwave, but only I knew that there would be a brief period of extreme heat before the long ice age. All the ice they hoarded would only make them die faster. Later, I sat in my private villa, enjoying delicious food while I watched that scumbag's family beat each other bloody over dry bread.

She didn't disappear because she was in danger. She disappeared because she was done. Veira Ashcroft spent years being brilliant, underestimated, and quietly indispensable to people who never once asked what she wanted. A forensic financial analyst with instincts no one could explain, she had built a careful, sufficient life in Edinburgh, until she found a document with her name in it seventeen times. Not one mention was a question. So she left. What no one told her, what no one knew, was that the entire supernatural world had been running on her. Five ancient bloodlines. One invisible network. And she was the only thing holding it together. Now the wolves are going blind in the dark. A three-hundred-year-old vampire can no longer feel his bloodline across Europe. A probability genius is watching his models dissolve into noise. A woman who moves financial markets with her instincts alone is losing her sense of direction. And the man who has spent eight years secretly arranging her life from the shadows is the one tasked with finding her. They have sixty days before the collapse becomes permanent. She has no interest in being found. Bloodline Zero is a slow-burn paranormal romance told in two timelines — the world unraveling without her, and the story of exactly why she left. Dark secrets, hidden identities, reverse harem tension, and a heroine who doesn't need saving. She needs an apology. Several, actually.
