"Block him." "He's technically still my boss." "Then block him with dignity." The call ended again. And then started again. I let out a sound somewhere between a growl and a sob, then finally answered with the enthusiasm of a snail crawling through salt. "Yes, Mr. Walton?" "Have you changed your mind yet?" I collapsed onto the towel and gazed at the sky as though it might consume me entirely if I pleaded sweetly enough. "Do you ever take a break?" I asked, shielding my eyes with one hand. "You're avoiding the question." "Because it's a dumb question." He exhaled, the sound sharp and irritated even over phone. "It's not a dumb question. It's a business offer." "It's a weird offer-one that I already said no to." There was a brief pause, and I could practically hear him clenching his jaw through the speaker. "You are acting unreasonably." " Unreasonable?" I sat up. "I'm not the one drafting fake girlfriend contracts like it's a normal Tuesday." "Isabella-" "Certainly not, Mr. Walton." I mimicked his tone perfectly. "I told you I'm not doing it. You need to find someone else to play pretend with." SYNOPSIS Isabella Miller thought saying no to her boss’s fake dating offer was the end of the story. But Adrien Walton doesn’t take no—especially not when he’s convinced she’s a gold digger. Suddenly, her student loans are piling up, her father’s vet clinic is on the brink of eviction and her brother is about to be kicked out of college. Coincidence? She thinks not. Adrien Walton is calm, calculating—and he's just pulled every string to corner Isabella into the perfect position. Now she’s stuck choosing between pride and survival. So she agrees to his offer: be his fake girlfriend. No feelings attached. No drama. Just business. Or so she thought. "Conference Room B. Fifteen minutes," he said, passing by without a glance. The folder he pushed across the table landed with a thud. I opened it. The contract. All of it. --- Enemies to lovers? Check. Slow burn? Hmmnyea. Banter so sharp it might file your nails? Yes. Delicious workplace tension? Of course. Tension that could melt steel?Absolutely. Smut?? Wanna find out? Welcome to corporate romance warfare. There’s no escaping this contract.

"You are the worst! Forcing us girls to do maths in a dress like this?!" "Eh, it would be much more convenient to do it on the spot, no?" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Kyouya, a peerless mind, thought he had mastered every scenario. But an extraordinarily silly expulsion, sparked by an accidental food bait, shattered his meticulously planned life. His dreams, his future—gone. Yet, his father, Kiritaka Saionji, had other plans. Nearing his 50s and desperate for an heir, he gaslighted Kyouya into accepting a "dying wish": Choose a partner to bear the next generation of the Saionji lineage. To this end, an extravagant, exclusive event was orchestrated on a private island, gathering a formidable roster of women. Among the invited guests were former classmates, all drawn by a peculiar longing for Kyouya, their reputations flawless and their wealth undeniable. As a master of intellect with impossibly high standards, Kyouya, despite the coercion, couldn't deny the allure of the formidable women presented. This cruel farce now presented an unforeseen opportunity: to meticulously select his ideal companions and cultivate the ultimate harem. Will he truly choose one of these formidable women to be his groom? Or does he possess a hidden plan, a cunning strategy to dismantle this charade and finally seize the long-awaited freedom and peace he craves? The game for his future, and perhaps his heart, has just begun.

Yanna Rivera is drowning. A hardworking college student in the gritty heart of Quezon City, she's burdened by family debts that threaten to pull her and everyone she loves under. Her life is a quiet litany of prayers and panic—until she makes one clumsy mistake that puts her in the path of a goddess from a different kind of heaven. Camille Navarro is the kind of woman Manila's elite whisper about in fear and awe. An heiress with a body built for battle, skin covered in ink, and eyes that see every weakness, she doesn't just own buildings; she owns people. And after Yanna ruins her priceless designer suit, Camille decides she's found a new acquisition. The deal is a devil's bargain: to pay off an impossible debt, Yanna must become Camille's perfectly obedient, live-in girlfriend. But this contract is written in clauses of pain and pleasure. Camille isn't just a dominant woman; she is a meticulous sadist who sees the secret, shivering masochist hidden deep inside Yanna's soul. What begins with kneeling on munggo beans soon spirals into a dark world of ropes and leather, of headlocks that feel like an embrace, and of punishments that bring Yanna a release she's ashamed to crave. Every order followed, every tear shed, every mark left on her skin only deepens their twisted bond. In a penthouse that serves as both a gilded cage and a private torture chamber, Yanna must confront the horrifying truth: she is falling for her tormentor. But as family secrets, jealous exes, and the wrath of the Navarro patriarch threaten to tear them apart, their brutal dynamic is put to the ultimate test. When submission is the only way to feel free and pain is the only language of love she understands, is this a debt that can ever truly be paid? Or will Yanna surrender her very soul to the one woman who hurts her so perfectly?

"Seriously, Host, can't you eat something decent?" Charle chuckled dryly. "Just earning points, nothing to be ashamed of." "Alright, Deep Blue, hurry up and evolve it for me."

Naruto and Konoha 12 lost in the One Piece world. This story starts with the Naruto characters from the Gaara retrieval arc and the Strawhat's in Water 7 arc. Shinobi side is Konoha 12 plus Gaara and Kankuro. The story will later also have Obito and some others get involved by getting to the Pirate World. The story isn't serious. It is easy going and not depressing. The battles are not one sided except at the very start. The Naruto characters are what if they had a proper time skip training, so they are stronger than their canon counterparts. Especially Naruto, who is strong as Jiraiya and knows many jutsu. Every character gets screentime here, even Tenten. If you want to follow a fun time and gold battles then this is the story for you.

I died. Got reincarnated. As a baby girl? …Wait. No. I thought I was reincarnated into her. Turns out I’m just stuck with her. Hanging around her neck like some cheap accessory. I’m the dice. And this dumb heroine keeps throwing me around like used tissue... Like I did in my past life. My rolls cast spells. Random ones. Sometimes I heal. Sometimes I explode. It’s fine. I’m fine. Everything’s fine. (Spoiler: I’m not fine.) But something about her feels familiar... And the more she throws me, the more I start to think she’s one of those evil soap opera stepmoms. The kind who feeds her stepkids expired milk And smiles while doing it. She yeets me like there’s no tomorrow... FMDL. What to expect: - Magic and adventure. - Absurd, unhinged comedy. - Early slice-of-life chaos that gradually deepens into a larger, more complex world. - A slow-burn journey that starts light and grows more meaningful over time. - Layered characters who grow emotionally and reveal depth over time. - If you're feeling stressed, this might be the kind of humor and heart you need.
