The Underground Railroad

Elysia Moretti thought her life couldn’t get worse—until she slept with a man and the same night the Mafia King himself walked into her home. Adrian Valente, cold-blooded ruler of the underground and the most feared man in the city, comes for one thing:the fifty million dollars her father stole from him. With her father missing and enemies circling, Elysia has only two choices: death… or marriage to the devil who wants to own her. Adrian makes it clear from the start — He doesn’t share. He doesn’t forgive. And he never lets go of what’s his. Dragged into his world of violence, power, and obsession, Elysia becomes the wife of the most ruthless mafia boss alive. But Adrian is not what she expected. He’s cruel to the world, yet gentle with her. He kills without blinking, yet shields her with his own life. And the more she tries to run, the tighter his hold becomes. But when she learns a devastating secret—that Adrian was the reason her father fled— everything shatters. She escapes his mansion… only to fall into the hands of a rival mafia who wants to use her as a weapon against him. And Adrian? He burns the city to find her.His obsession becomes feral. His darkness becomes uncontrollable. Because the Mafia King can survive betrayal. He can survive war. But he will never survive losing her. “Run all you want, Elysia. I’ll still find you. I’ll always find you—because you’re not my wife by choice. You’re my wife by fate.” When love becomes war, when loyalty becomes death, and when desire becomes obsession— What's left is a bond stronger than blood.

Sage Casey Ember-Brooks, who goes by Casey, is a fast-food worker and aspiring fantasy novelist whose ordinary life crumbles when mysterious strangers ask cryptic questions about her dragon series. Her recurring dreams of golden coins suddenly make terrifying sense when Marcus Chen—a businessman with eyes that flash gold—reveals that dragons are real, living hidden among humans for centuries. Casey's unnaturally accurate fantasy writing stems from awakening genetic memories. She's a rare "Convergence" bloodline capable of harmonising opposing elemental forces. The revelation comes at a critical time: a new cryptocurrency called DragonCoin, featuring symbols identical to her dreams, creates magical interference that weakens concealment spells protecting dragon society. At the Crossroads shopping complex where she works, disruptions cause dragons to flicker between human and true forms in full view of witnesses. Caught between Marcus (a traditionalist who wants to hide her with the Dragon Council) and the enigmatic Xaihuang (who advocates ending the masquerade entirely), Casey discovers an underground chamber housing ancient dragon artifacts. When she touches a magical coin, visions reveal three futures: chaotic revelation leading to war, continued concealment resulting in magical extinction, or a mysterious third path of integration. Casey realises DragonCoin wasn't created to expose dragons, but by another awakening hybrid like herself—someone in Seattle whose unconscious dragon heritage channels ancient power through modern technology. As magical concealment fails worldwide and dragons begin manifesting publicly, Casey must race across the country to find this unknown programmer before the interference between magic and technology tears reality apart. The story explores themes of identity, integration versus assimilation, and the collision between ancient power and digital-age innovation. With her awakening abilities growing stronger and the masquerade crumbling around her, Casey faces a choice that will determine her fate and the future relationship between the hidden magical world and human civilisation.

I got a car straight from the Lycan Chairman himself—a ride costs more than tens of millions and can turn every traffic light green. I got it because the Lycan Chairman once fell on the battlefield, his heart torn open. And me? I'm the one bound to him by a blood-sealed contract, the only secret healer who could save his life. To win me golden hour for surgeries, I was awarded with such an honored ride. I treated it like sacred ground, kept it hidden in my mate Yorick's underground garage, polished and guarded, ready for the day the Lycan Chairman might need me again. That day came. The summons burned in my hand, urgent and sharp. I rushed to the garage, ready to drive, and the second I approached the garage, a strange woman slid into the back seat. "Take me to the Nighty Bar," she ordered, flipping her hair. "Yorick had waited for me minutes. If he's mad at me being late, I'll make you regret it." My hands froze on the wheel. "This is my car," I told her, calm but firm. "I have urgent business. You need to get out. Now." She sneered. "What a joke. A chauffeur pretending to be the owner? You must have a death wish." Her soldiers glanced at me sideways, voice dripping with disdain. "Everyone in the pack knows that this car is Alpha's exclusive for picking up Selene! You're just a little healer. Do yourself a favor and listen to her." Their words cut sharper than any blade. The car that carried the highest secret of the werewolf race, the car tied to the Chairman's very heartbeat, in their mouths, it was nothing more than a toy. A plaything my mate used to please another she-wolf. They wanted me to bow. To surrender. To sit there, silent, while they spat on me. But what they didn't know, the Lycan Chairman's soldiers were already on their way.

I gave up a vast fortune to be with my boyfriend Terrence. In our poorest days, we didn't even have a single grain of rice at home. Terrence went out to fight in underground rings, never surrendering once even when he was beaten black and blue. With his blood and sweat, he paved the path to our future brick by brick. In the present, his name was uttered with an undeniable tone of respect, while I was known far and wide as his missus, the woman he treasured above anyone or anything. One year, when I left the country because of a family emergency, I learned that he even started seeing a therapist due to separation anxiety. Everyone said that Terrence loved me more than life itself, and I had believed it too, wholeheartedly. Until I stood on our balcony, watching him tightly embracing another woman in the villa next door. "Even though Tanya is back, the very thought of losing you makes me lose control… I can't live without you, Mia… "If any other men ever appear by your side, I might just end up killing them…" His voice was a low rumble, tinged with a sort of unconscious madness. "B-But what about your wife? Didn't you say that she means more to you than your own life?" "Well, we just have to keep this hidden better, don't we? I want to always be with you…" My hand trembled, and I accidentally cut my hand with the fruit knife I was holding, but I felt no pain at all. To think that just one year apart was enough to shatter thirty years of love and mutual support… With trembling hands, I picked up my phone and called my mother. "Mom, I'm feeling homesick… Can you get me a new identity and a one-way ticket out of the country?"

Narnia Melpomene Alvarez—ang tinaguriang "rebelde" na kakambal ni Urania, ayon sa kaniyang tiyuhin na si Luis Grimaldi. Buong buhay niya, iisa lang ang kanyang layunin: ang makamit ang hustisya para sa kanyang mga magulang, anuman ang kapalit. Sa murang edad pa lamang, buo na ang kanyang loob na ipaglaban ito, kahit sariling buhay ang isugal, lalo na para sa natitira niyang pamilya—ang kakambal niyang si Urania. Kaya’t hindi na nakapagtataka nang sumali siya sa isang lihim na grupo na konektado sa underground society. Alam niyang delikado ito, pero iyon ang tanging paraan para maabot ang matagal niyang pinapangarap. Ngunit isang gabi ang nagbago ng lahat—isang gabing ginulo ng hindi inaasahang estranghero. Ang pagtulong niya kay Zuhair Eros Smith ay tila isang maling hakbang na hinding-hindi niya makakalimutan. Bigla na lang napasok si Eros sa buhay niya—isang lalaking misteryoso, mapang-asar, at puno ng mga lihim. Wala sa plano ni Narnia ang pagbukas ng kanyang puso para sa sinuman, lalo pa’t hindi niya lubos kilala ang lalaking tila may koneksyon sa kanyang madilim na nakaraan. Hanggang saan ang kaya niyang isugal para sa pangako niya sa kanyang pamilya? Paano kung ang taong nagbubukas ng pintuan sa pagmamahal ay isa ring susi sa kasinungalingan? At paano kung ang laban para sa hustisya ay makasira sa pag-ibig na unti-unting namumuo? Ngayong nagbabanggaan ang kanyang puso at prinsipyo, kailangan niyang pumili: ipaglaban ang nakaraan o tanggapin ang pagmamahal na dala ng lalaking hindi niya sigurado kung kaibigan o kalaban.
