family

Arianne Summers was once the most feared woman in the business world—until love became her fatal mistake. Publicly betrayed by her fiancé, her empire stolen in a calculated corporate takeover, Arianne vanished from the spotlight, determined never to return. Five years later, her quiet life is interrupted by an unexpected knock. On her doorstep stand two scheming four-year-old twins holding a handmade sign: “Marry Our Uncle!” Their uncle, Franz Rochefort, is a world-famous actor reluctantly thrust into the role of CEO after his brother’s death. Overwhelmed, underestimated, and struggling to keep both his company and his family together, Franz needs help—even if he doesn’t know it yet. What begins as a logical, temporary arrangement quickly spirals into chaos as fake dates turn real, old enemies resurface, and two tiny matchmakers launch Operation: Make Uncle and New Aunt Fall in Love. In a world where power is currency and love is a liability, Arianne must choose—revenge against the past, or the unexpected family she never planned to have. A ruthless CEO. A reluctant superstar. Two scheming children. And a love story that was never part of the plan. #ceoromance #reversedroles #slowpaced #loveaftermarriage special thanks to @schreient_rui Join my new discord server: https://discord.gg/pj5ad3QgRk

Anatomy of Silence A Literary Novel There are people who live at the edges of their own lives—not because they choose to, but because the world does not always make room. Andini Lestari has mastered the art of restraint. Hope, to her, is a fragile architecture—one that stretches the distance between desire and disappointment. Silence has always been her safest refuge. Fani Pratiwi knows what it means to be quietly overlooked. Moving through the world in a body others perceive as inconvenience, she has learned to make herself smaller, softer, easier to ignore. Their paths cross in the unremarkable hours of campus life—in the hush of late afternoon rain, in shared glances across lecture halls, in conversations that feel heavier than they appear. What begins as cautious proximity slowly deepens into something neither of them knows how to name. There are no promises between them. No dramatic declarations. Only the quiet recognition of being seen. But when the fragile sanctuary they build together begins to fracture under the weight of indifference and institutional hypocrisy, silence itself becomes a choice—one that demands a cost. Anatomy of Silence is not a story about grand revolutions. It is about the invisible battles fought in ordinary rooms. About the quiet courage required to remain present in a world that insists on invisibility. Because for some, survival is not loud. It is deliberate. And it is brave.

Dilarah never believed in forever. A dedicated veterinary doctor with a fragile heart and a guarded soul, she has learned the hard way that love comes with conditions — and pain never leaves without scars. Baran, on the other hand, is a man who carries storms in his silence. Powerful, emotionally distant, and fiercely protective, he has buried his past beneath control and discipline.

And before they realize it… hatred turns into something dangerously tender. But love is never simple. Old wounds resurface. Family conflicts threaten to tear them apart. Secrets from the past shake the foundation of trust. And when letting go seems easier than holding on, one question remains: How far can you go for the person whose name beats inside your heart? In a journey of healing, possessiveness,emotional battles, and slow-burning desire — two broken souls must decide: Will they surrender to pride… Or die in each other’s name?

Everly, a connoisseur of orphan-to-riches tropes, always assumed her origin story began with a dramatic abandonment at the orphanage gates. Turns out, her life was even more cliché than her favorite novels! She wasn't merely dumped; she was swapped—a long-lost heiress to a vast fortune. Just when she thought her life couldn't get any more tropey, a mysterious System materialized, offering her a chance at a "good ending." The catch? Its "abilities" ranged from the utterly bizarre to the downright mortifying, making Everly question if a happy ending was truly worth the existential cringe. *** System 006: [Host, please choose 1 of these 3 system abilities!] Everly: "They're all weird! Let me just pick random!" System 006: [Hehe... host, I forgot to say that each system will have consequences, so something will happen to you when you use it...] Everly: "!!!" Days later, having been reunited with her biological family and experimenting with the System's... unique function, the consequence were already glaringly apparent. Her beloved brother: "My little sister is precious, but I need therapy to keep up with her alien-like thinking." Handsome man 1: "She's a pervert! I'm scared she'll take my innocence..." Handsome man 2: "Every time she talks, I feel like killing her. Is that normal?" NOTE: Please disconnect all logical circuits before proceeding with this novel, as it's an absolute chaotic comedy where the MC, Everly, has several screws loose in her brain. Don't expect much normalcy here—sanity checked out long ago and never came back.

‎What happens when the only thing that seems right in a society where family is defined by blood and fate is determined by obligation is the only thing that is prohibited? ‎Love conquers all, they claimed. They never brought up the possibility that it might wipe out all of existence. ‎Twenty-three-year-old Aria Chen believed she was aware of the limits of her universe. She had come to terms with her role as the beloved younger sister, cared for and protected but never really a part of the wealth that surrounded her, having grown up in the shadow of the Chen family's immense empire. Her older brother by three years, Damien Chen, was the heir apparent and had carried the burden of their family since their father's health deteriorated, giving him that right. ‎She had only known Damien. Her defender. Her provider. The person who put her to bed every night while their parents were too busy establishing their empire. The person who taught her to be strong, even though she felt secure enough in his presence to be weak. ‎She never doubted his affections. Not when he examined her pals himself. Not when he insisted on giving his approval for her college selections. Even when he was at every social gathering she went to, his black eyes followed her every move in crowded spaces. ‎But on a rainy Tuesday, the flawless façade of her golden cage began to crack when David Park, the nice and sincere intern who brought her coffee and made her laugh, revealed his feelings, only to be fired the next day. ‎An event may be a coincidence. Circumstance might be the case for two of them. However, after it happened repeatedly, Aria was able to see the unseen bonds that her brother had placed around her heart. ‎As a result, she fled. To a life that Damien had no control over across the sea. ‎She experienced freedom for a couple of years. Made a career for herself based on her own merits. I discovered Aria Chen's identity without being overshadowed by her brother. ‎Until the call arrived. ‎It's urgent that you return home. ‎Aria realized that something had irrevocably shifted the moment she entered the Chen residence. Wearing expensive designer attire that bore an uncanny resemblance to the contents of Aria's previous wardrobe, a young woman sat sobbing in the living room, whom she had never met. Her mother's eyes had red rims. She seemed ten years older than her dad. ‎And Damien... With his obsidian eyes staring at her with an intensity that made her shiver—not out of fear, but out of something far more dangerous—Damien stood like a predator at last let out of his cage. ‎Her mother's voice was shaking, Aria. We have something to tell you. There was a blunder at the hospital, and you were... You and Eleanor were— twenty-three years ago. ‎Damien concluded, his voice a soft caress that seemed to wrap around Aria's neck. As he got closer, Aria noticed for the first time in her life that the brother who had raised her was not the protective one. She saw a man who was strong, threatening, and ultimately free. You're not my sister, Aria. You were never like that. ‎The expression in his eyes indicated that she was about to be overtaken by everything she had been fleeing. ‎There was nowhere to hide this time. ‎Genre: Obsessive Male Lead, Fake Siblings, Forbidden Love, and Contemporary Romance ‎Topics include family secrets, second chance romance, identity crisis, forbidden wish, obsessive love, and power dynamics.

Two souls who never learned what home feels like mistake recognition for destiny. She survives. He leaves. She wanted to seize joy, to experience life without hesitation. He wanted to comprehend, to map the landscape of her heart before the limited time in this city ran out. Two ways of living collided-two approaches to love, intertwined but not always aligned. They meet in a city that belongs to neither of them. What begins as silence turns into gravity. What feels like safety turns into fire. They do not fall in love. They ignite. And neither of them knows whether they are building a home- or watching it burn. This is a story of fragile connection, of struggle and departure, and of the painstaking process of building a home where reason and feeling could coexist.

Serena Richard was born into a life most people would kill for — wealth, influence, and a future already signed in ink. In her world, marriages are mergers. Loyalty is currency. And love is a liability. Then she meets Nathan. He doesn’t belong to her world, and he refuses to. No legacy. No status. No reason to obey the rules that have always controlled her. For the first time in her life, Serena isn’t being told what to do. She’s being asked what she wants. But defying the Richard empire is not a rebellion. It’s a declaration of war. Her father is a man who built his power by eliminating risks, and Nathan is the biggest threat he’s ever seen. Surveillance becomes constant. Pressure turns into coercion. And the life Serena thought was secure begins to feel like a prison. Now she must choose: The future designed to protect her family’s empire… Or the man who could bring it crashing down. Because in Serena’s world, crossing the line isn’t scandal. It’s destruction.

I have always adjusted easily. I know how to make people comfortable. I know how to pay attention to what they need. I know when to stay quiet. I learned early how to be grateful, even when I did not fully understand what I was supposed to be grateful for. From the outside, my life looks steady. Friends. Attention. A family that loves me. Nothing obviously broken. But when trust begins to shift and the rules I have lived by start to crack, I am forced to confront a quieter truth. I have spent most of my life trying to prove I belong in my friendships, in my relationships, and most of all, in my own family. As questions about loyalty and identity begin to surface, I start to see what I have always felt but never named, the spaces where I thought I was protected and wasn’t. The Girl Who Needed to Be Chosen is a coming of age story about belonging, adoption, and the cost of growing up inside rules you were never told. It is about love that exists beside hurt, about insecurity disguised as devotion, and about a girl slowly learning that being chosen is not the same thing as being seen.

Xal needed a job. Instead, he got a death sentence in the form of a disaster named Kian.

As they journey across the veil between worlds, battling corrupted spirits and healing the dying, the two men uncover secrets buried in the ruins of their pasts and build a deeper friendship than either of them expects. When Khem’s true plan begins to unfold, Xal and Kian must choose between justice, vengeance, and sacrifice.

His character is like a devil when he meets his Camellia. She is a pure soul who wants to achieve something… what happens when they meet?”

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer

Ezra almost frowns at the sudden question. He stops himself just in time. “Of course you do.” Lior’s grip tightens around his sleeve. “Where is he?” Ezra doesn’t answer right away. How could he? How could he explain that Lior’s father was someone he had already met, someone who walked the halls of the palace in gold and authority? Someone who could never be allowed to know he existed.

I watched as Dad looked at me with some kind of angered expression, as usual he believes her.  " Fiona, how many times do i have to tell you to have some respect for my wife? Whether you like it or not she's now your mother. Is this a way to treat your mother"?  "She can never be my mother, she doesn't even have the qualities of being a mother. Why do you always side with her? Can't you see the way she's treating me"?  "Enough Fiona"!!! "You promised mom that you'd always love me and take care of me, but I'm a slave in my own father's house"!! "Hey, don't try to manipulate my husband, what you did was wrong and you expect me not to caution you? Go to your room" I just watched as Dad expression fell, she was manipulating him and turning him against his own daughter.  "You heard her Fiona, go to your room".
