The Billionaire's Dilemma: where love and rivalry entwined

Sola_Lynx
Freya Davis is the type of woman who bites back. A sharp-tongued journalist with a caffeine addiction, and a hunger for the truth. She isn’t the kind of woman who gets tangled up with billionaires—especially not ones who wake her up in silk sheets, smirking like they own the city. Arnold Connor is the definition of dangerous: Insanely rich, perfectly hot, and annoyingly used to getting what he wants—except her. Their first meeting? A disaster. She was half-dressed and hungover in his suite. He called her “slut” playfully. And she nearly threw a lamp at his face. Romance wasn’t on the menu. But when their paths keep colliding in boardrooms, headlines, and late nights filled with secrets, what starts as antagonism turns into something else. Something real. Something raw. As their connection deepens, so does the web around them. Unknown to Freya, she’s being manipulated by Gregory Hills—a powerful figure with secrets of his own, including a blood tie to Arnold. Gregory uses Freya to spy on Arnold under the guise of a corruption exposé. But the deeper she gets, the more she realizes she’s been played. Meanwhile, Ariel Sawyer, a rich socialite obsessed with marrying Arnold, fakes a pregnancy to trap him. Gregory also kidnaps Freya, nearly killing her. In a desperate move to shield Freya, Arnold fakes a marriage to Ariel, sacrificing his own happiness. Freya becomes both a pawn and a threat in a game she never agreed to play. Now, the man she’s falling for is forced to marry someone else to protect her, and Freya is forced to choose: run, expose everything, or become the fire that burns the whole kingdom down. Because Gregory isn’t finished. And the next move in this deadly game? Is hers.

Black Onyx: Phoenix Resurrection

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of an immortal vessel. Thus, through pain and flames, I forged it. "From death through flames, to life again, the Heavens will forge, an eternal man!" *** He was once but a man, a young one from Earth, a man that crossed over to another world. After a long string of both fortunate and unfortunate events, he was killed, only to be resurrected by the powers of a Phoenix. Gerald, in his eternal pursuit of power, went and joined a Sect of powerful Cultivators where he learned to properly use his newly gained magic powers in the unfamiliar world, and with a tiny compounding advantage, began to dominate his enemies. He pursued not strength, money, or women, though those too were gained along the way, instead, he craved a body to withstand and witness the end of the world. "What use is money without a long life to enjoy it? What use are the fancy sword techniques and mystic arts, if you can’t take a hit? How many mistakes can one make, before a mortal wound brings them down? It takes just one, and you never see it coming." *** Join, and follow the story of Gerald Fireborn as he explores his new world, pursuing immortality at any cost while avoiding succumbing to death for the second time. PS: Although the story is a continuation of the previously completed book Black Onyx – Forgotten Magic, NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE PREVIOUS STORY IS REQUIRED! The book is written to be enjoyed on its own, so yeah... Enjoy!
