    Blood on his hands. Soil under hers. A broken ring between them. Serenity Claveria used to sign death orders in diamonds, her wedding band flashing under chandelier light while she turned her husband's crumbling syndicate into an empire. Now that same ring lies split in two, buried beneath the Claveria garden she fled to where she spends her mornings with dirt under her nails instead of gunpowder, pretending the ghosts in her chest are just echo. At the gates, her past keeps knocking. Dario Valente arrives day after day with gifts that burn brighter than his apologies watches, cars, silk, all fed to the fire by Eli, the bodyguard who would rather die than let his former boss back into her orbit. Smoke curls into the sky like incense over a grave, and Dario watches the life he threw away turn his offerings to ash without blinking. In the treeline, another man waits. Salvatore Montenegro, once the bastard she insulted in this very garden, now a king in his own right, kneels in her soil like it's an altar. He plants the flowers she loves, reroutes wars away from her borders, and says nothing when her voice still shakes on her ex-husband's name. His devotion doesn't come with chains, only patience sharp enough to cut. The underworld thinks Serenity lost everything in that divorce. They don't see the moment her gaze shifts away from the man who broke her ring, and toward the one who's ready to guard the hand that wore it.

Please support the official release. ✧ After Kamino, nothing is the same for Naoto Shirogane. He lost his arm to Reiji Kirisaki, but later woke to find it replaced: a mysterious figure had given him a Zonai arm, a strange gift that raises more questions than answers. At the same time, buried truths about his family come to light. The Shirogane bloodline, supposetively noble was in fact rotted to the core, secretly closely tied to All For One, serving him in the shadows. After All Might's victory, Naoto's father, Retsu, abusive, violent, rotted to the core, was exposed and forced into hiding. Once Naoto was thought dead, but Retsu's downfall revealed the truth, he is alive, and now marked. At the hospital, two revelations change everything: his mother, Aashiko, returns after years away, and with her, a sister he never knew, Tsukiko, 3 years old. Innocent, untouched by Retsu's violence, she still believes her father was good. To her, Naoto is just the brother who broke her family apart. Living with them briefly, Naoto finds a fragile home. Aashiko accepts him; Tsukiko only tolerates him. But as Aizawa said, with villains aware of who he is, he has to leave, for their safety, heading to Heights Alliance, U.A.'s new dormitory system, where a new chapter begins. Before he even arrives, something unexpected happens: reaching out to stop an accident, his left hand opens a portal. A new ability, separate from Quickslot, has awakened. Where did this power come from? Why now? And what other trials wait ahead, as Naoto struggles with the dark legacy of his bloodline and the uncertain future of his own strength? ✧ Cover by me

Yet, for reasons she doesn't understand, he chooses to sit beside her, talk to her, and treat her like she's someone worth knowing.

And for the first time in a long while, Julianna feels her guarded heart begin to soften. But some feelings are not meant to be spoken. Bound by unspoken rules, expectations, and quiet fears, both of them choose to keep their emotions hidden. Still, in the way Lucas gently holds her hand, stays by her side, and cares for her without asking for anything in return, they find themselves caught in something that feels like love... even if it's never given a name. In a story of silence, longing, and unspoken truths, Julianna and Lucas discover that sometimes, the deepest connections are the ones that remain hidden between the lines.

    Fiona Avana has spent years mastering the art of architectural restoration, breathing new life into spaces long forgotten. The Carlton Hotel, an iconic but crumbling structure, offers her the chance to leave a lasting mark on the city's skyline-and her career. But what should be just another project becomes anything but, when Jae Hyun Kim, the enigmatic CEO of KYL Group-and the man she thought she had buried in the past-steps back into her life. For Jae Hyun, becoming the CEO was never his dream, but it's the path he must walk to uphold his family's legacy. When Fiona unexpectedly reenters his world, old emotions stir, ones he thought he had pushed aside in favor of duty. But there's more at stake than just business between them. The Carlton's transformation mirrors the tension between their shared history and the unspoken connection that still lingers in the air. Caught between the allure of the past and the demands of the future, Fiona finds herself questioning everything-her work, her relationships, and the feelings she thought were long buried. With Gabriel, her good friend, someone she looks up to, showing unexpected signs of something deeper, and Jae Hyun quietly pulling at the edges of her resolve, Fiona must decide: Is it possible to restore what's been broken without losing herself in the process? As the Carlton's renovation pushes forward, so too do the complexities of the heart, where passion, loyalty, and ambition collide in ways that could change everything. *** This story is a work of fiction.
