Hired For Revenge, Claimed By The CEO

SabrinaQ
Maya Hayes just wanted to survive her ex-fiancé’s wedding. After being betrayed by him and her best friend, all she needed was a convincing, wealthy date to prove she’d moved on. But how did the man she hired as a gigolo turn out to be Sebastian Sterling, the commanding and impossibly handsome CEO of Sterling Wineries? One night of revenge spirals into a viral rumor: they’re engaged. And Sebastian’s powerful grandfather, the man who controls his entire inheritance, believes every word. Now Sebastian needs a fake fiancée to secure his empire, and he’s found the perfect leverage: Maya’s family is drowning in debt. The deal is simple—she plays his doting bride-to-be, and he saves her family. But as their staged romance starts to feel intensely real, Maya realizes she’s walking into a trap far more dangerous than any debt: actually falling for him. “I’ve been left with nothing before, Sebastian. I can’t do it again.” “And what makes you think you’re the only one with something to lose?” This is a high-stakes romance full of buried secrets and a chemistry that ignites from the very first lie. When the contract is up, will Maya’s heart be the final price?

The Weaver of Star-Steel

In a world forged from the ruins of forgotten legends and rusted metal, flesh is a fatal flaw. For Hanzo, a slave in the deepest slag pits, survival was never a matter of strength—it was a matter of precision. But when a forbidden legacy awakens in his blood, he becomes something the world hasn't seen in eons: An Architect. His body is no longer just flesh and blood. It is a construction site. Hanzo possesses the ability to redesign the very geometry of life. Armed with the power of Lunar-Zinc, he begins to rewrite his own biology—layer by layer, bone by bone. But power demands a price that no calculation can foresee. Every reinforcement of his skin increases the pressure on his human frame. Every upgrade brings him closer to perfection—and closer to the breaking point where his own body will collapse under the weight of his ambition. Accompanied by a hunted outcast and a mechanical companion, Hanzo must navigate the "Forest of Singing Blades." Hunted by beasts with bones of bronze and confronted by the fatal flaws of his own design, Hanzo learns the ultimate lesson of a builder: An invincible wall is worthless if the foundation is made of dust. Will he sacrifice his humanity to become the perfect machine? Or will he find a way to unite the impossible—the heart of a boy with the logic of a god? Welcome! I have always had a deep passion for storytelling and world-building, but translating my complex ideas into written words has been a challenge. To bring my creativity to life exactly as I envision it, I use AI as a writing assistant. This allows me to focus on the plot, the intricate crafting systems, and the journey of our protagonist while ensuring the story is told clearly and vividly. Thank you for joining me on this epic adventure!
