A Contracted Heart

HEAV3NLY
As she waited in the dimly lit hallway, her anger simmered, ready to boil over. After what felt like an eternity, he finally emerged from the room, a look of nonchalance on his face. She strode towards him, her heels clicking on the floor, and demanded to know why he'd lied about being at the office. But before he could respond, a figure appeared behind him - Ivy, her own sister, looking sheepish and guilty. The sight of them together sent shockwaves through her body, freezing her in place. Her mind struggled to process the betrayal, the deceit, the sheer audacity of it all. How could her own sister do this to her? And how could the man she loved be so reckless with her trust? She stood fixated to the point, she opened her mouth to say something, but words failed her. How could he? She had loved this man with her whole life and she was looking forward to spending the rest of her life with him. Then her shock suddenly turned into anger, she was mad with fury, she was mad at herself. She had been foolishly loving this man for six whole years!. How could she have not suspected anything all those years?. She wanted to cry but the tears were not coming. Actually, she fought back the tears. She can’t let these people see her vulnerability, she can’t let them see her break down, not now. Daniel's expression remained eerily calm, a stark contrast to the turmoil brewing within her. His eyes betrayed a flicker of irritation, mixed with a hint of relief that the charade was finally over. He seemed almost...unbothered by the revelation, as if he'd been waiting for her to discover his secret. The mask of the loving fiancé slipped, revealing a glimpse of the man who had been tolerating their relationship out of obligation and convenience. His gaze held a mixture of annoyance and liberation, suggesting he'd been suffocating under the weight of their engagement, counting down the days until he could break free. The thought sent a chill down her spine. Had he ever truly loved her, or had she just been a means to an end? A stinging slap landed on his cheek, the sound momentarily sounding through the hallway. “How could you?” she demanded, her voice trembling with rage and hurt. “Why her? Why my sister? His gaze lo

Konoha: I’ve Synthesized the Rinnegan

Reincarnated with a System: Not the Fantasy World I Ordered

Marcus died. Sad, sure—but then the voice in his head said “System activated” and he knew it was finally happening: reincarnation into a magical world. Time for spells, swords, and... wait, is that a deep fryer? He wakes up as a baby. In a burnt-down chicken restaurant. With a System that thinks sarcasm is a feature, not a bug. No royal bloodline. No ancient prophecy. Just soot, diapers, and a “Pitiful Crying” skill. Oh—and his magical circuits? Broken. He’s got mana, but the universe laughed and handed him a melee class. In a body that can’t sit up yet. Now, between avoiding fires (again), faking baby babble, and training aura like a tiny gym bro, Marcus is on a mission: survive, adapt, and maybe—just maybe—punch magic in the face.

The third party does not want to love again

Aurora’s eyes blazed with anger, her voice breaking between the tears she had tried in vain to hold back. “I thought I would forget your past love for you, but I was wrong! You are the one who chose to remain trapped in the past, refusing to see the one who truly loves you!” Kyle, despite his outward calm, was burning inside. Guilt gnawed at his heart, yet he said nothing. Aurora cried out bitterly: “She is happy now, living her life with the one she loves, with her husband and children! She never saw you as more than a brother and a friend!” He couldn’t take it anymore. Stepping toward her in anger, his voice was sharp as a blade: “Shut your mouth. I don’t want to talk about this again!” Then, coldly, he added: “Go home. I’ll send your father a letter of apology and end this engagement.” Aurora stood still for a moment, her eyes filled with pain before she whispered in a choked voice: “Don’t bother… I will send the letter to my family myself. And don’t worry, I won’t tell them that you were the one who wanted to end it.” She cast him one last broken glance before turning away, leaving behind nothing but the sound of her fading footsteps, her silent tears, and a shattered heart… A week passed. Then, the phone rang. Kyle answered coldly: “Yes, who is this?” A trembling voice came from the other end—it was Lady Valeska, filled with concern: “Is Aurora alright? She hasn’t called us all week…” His heart pounded violently in his chest as panic surged through him. No… No… No. I can’t lose her! Will this love find a happy ending, or will it remain one-sided forever?

The Heavenly Demon of Terror

When I opened my eyes, I found myself trapped in the very novel I despise most, and to make matters worse, I became Samuel Gebb, the tragic main character. Samuel's wife constantly brings other men into their home, and he’s forced to endure her mowns with other mens. But here's the twist: I’m not Samuel. I’m the Heavenly Demon, a being feared by the world for my martial prowess. In my first life, I was just an ordinary student who read this novel and became deeply depressed for months. In my second life, I took on the role of the Heavenly Demon and conquered the world. Now, if Abigail, the female lead, thinks she can control me like she did with Samuel, she’s gravely mistaken. I’m going to ensure she pays for what she did to Samuel. In the novel, Abigail claims she never slept with any men, but I don’t believe her, even if she’s telling the truth. I’ll make her regret the three years she tormented Samuel. Original Novel: The Marriage she turned into War. Author POV: this was utterly disgusting Novel and I'm seriously thinking why Webfic wrote it and what is the reason for Author to make Main character Suffer So much, So this will be more like a Fantasy Friction of Original and I'm gonna make sure this Novel will be Masterpiece Please don't get me wrong but after Reading the Original Novel I'm having Trust Issues with Love and Marriage but will see if I want to make Main character to Ship with someone or to Give him Harem.

The Scars Of The Soul

I want to share a thought about the incredible potential within every child. In our quest to secure their futures, we often focus on conventional paths, but it’s vital to recognize and nurture the unique talents that each child possesses. When we impose our aspirations, we risk overshadowing their true interests, leading to a cycle of unfulfilled potential.
