billionaire

Lena thought the hardest part of her life was surviving another unpaid bill. She was wrong. One careless signature changes everything. What was supposed to be a simple job offer turns into a binding contract-one she can't break, no matter how hard she tries. Because the man behind it isn't just a billionaire with power and influence. He's something far more dangerous. Cold. Controlled. Inhuman. And now, she belongs to him. Trapped in a world she never knew existed, Lena is forced to live under his rules, his protection and his watchful eyes. But the closer she gets, the more the lines begin to blur. Fears turns into tension. Tension turns into something neither of them can control. And in a world where instincts rule and secrets run deep, Lena realises too late. The danger was never the contract. It was the man she's starting to fall for.

"You only lost love," he said hoarsely. "But I lost a leg." Liesa glanced down at his medical chart, then at his perfectly intact limbs. "…Angus, it's just mild discomfort in your right leg." He stared at her in silence, then spoke with grave resolve. "If you don't love me," Angus said, " this leg can go." She rubbed her temples. "Love. I love you. Happy now?" He smiled, instantly healed. _________________________________________ World Two: Prison Kingpin and Rookie Guard "Do you like me?" he asked, casual as small talk. Liesa didn't even hesitate. "No." He nodded, "Alright. Then I'll escape tonight." "…Wait..." _________________________________________ World Three: Noble Lady and Her Devoted Attendant Liesa put a book in his hands, expression serious. "I just want you to study more," she said. "Grow up educated. Contribute to the society." The attendant hugged her waist, cheek pressed against her shoulder. "No," he said calmly. "I just want to stay with you and sleep." "..." _________________________________________ World Four: Heiress Wife and Her Husbands… Plural? Angmar Romano crossed his arms, tone cold but precise. He said, "Strictly speaking, I'm Liesa's husband. The wedding was just ruined by a certain jerk." Across the room, Durgus Romano smiled faintly. He said, "Sorry. First come, first served." Liesa stared at the two identical faces in front of her. "…OMG," she muttered, "I never would've guessed this world had two Mr. Romano. And they're twins." _________________________________________ World Five: City Lord's Wife and Her Scheming Husband Angus sighed, gaze gentle, voice full of regret. "All my life, I've only wanted one thing," he said softly."To put down the blade and be a kind, harmless man." Speechless, Liesa said, "Could you put down the knife on my neck first?" _________________________________________ ...

Twenty-six-year-old Seren Adaeze maps things that don't exist. Not metaphorically. Literally. Since childhood she has been able to see and draw places that haven't been discovered yet rooms inside sealed buildings, corridors beneath the ocean, islands that appear on no chart but hers. She has never told anyone. She takes the visions, renders them in extraordinary detail, sells them as "abstract art," and calls it a living. Then one of her paintings sells at auction for two million euros to a buyer who remains anonymous. Then another. Then another. Then the buyer shows up in person. Lucian Veyne is thirty-five, the reclusive chairman of Veyne Industries a global empire built on deep-sea technology, rare earth mining, and an unnerving pattern of knowing exactly where to dig. He is coldly beautiful, unsettlingly quiet, and looking at Seren like she is a problem he has spent ten years trying to solve. "You painted my island," he tells her. "A place no living person has ever seen. I need to know how." Seren doesn't have an answer. But she has a feeling deep and electric and dangerous that Lucian Veyne isn't entirely surprised by what she can do. That he's been searching for someone exactly like her. And that the island she painted, the one that supposedly doesn't exist, has something inside it that both of them were always meant to find. What follows is a mystery that goes deeper than either of them planned a centuries-old enchantment, a family curse that has hollowed out every Veyne heir before Lucian reached forty, a map that can only be completed by two people together, and a love story that was written into the architecture of the world long before they were born. The magic is real. The danger is real. And Lucian Veyne, for all his billions and his silence and his careful untouchable control, is falling in love with the woman who sees what no one else can which is the most terrifying thing that has ever happened to him.
