The Ice King's Second Decree
By @john1208
Anya Sharma’s world crumbles when the past she fled catches up, personified by Liam Thorne, the CEO whose icy gaze once melted for her. Now, his eyes are shards of frozen pain, directed solely at her. Her family's forgotten debt, spiraling into bankruptcy, becomes his leverage. He demands not money, but *her*—as his fiancée, a pawn in his empire. Every brush of his tailored silk suit against her skin sends a jolt, a dangerous reminder of a love she sacrificed to save him. She’s an underdog, fighting for her sister's future, her father's health, and her own shattered dreams. If she fails, Liam will dismantle everything she holds dear. But if she succumbs, she risks not just her family’s fate, but her heart, falling for the man who is both her tormentor and the only one who truly sees her soul beneath the layers of his frigid revenge. His touch, though cold, promises a fire she desperately remembers. She’s caught in a gilded cage, where her every breath is for sale, and her heart might just be the ultimate price.

The CEO's Impossible Bet
By @john1208
Elara Vance's handcrafted, sustainable tech company, "EcoEcho," is her entire world – a legacy built on passion and ethical design. But her world shatters when tech titan Kaelen Thorne, known for his cutthroat acquisitions, sets his glacial gaze on her small empire. He wants EcoEcho, but not for its values; he sees only profit. Elara refuses, unleashing a corporate war she's ill-equipped to fight. With her company teetering on the brink, a terrifying, unseen threat emerges, targeting EcoEcho and, chillingly, Elara herself. Kaelen, the man she despises, surprisingly steps in. He offers a temporary, impossible alliance, claiming he alone understands the dangerous game they're playing. His presence is a storm of silk and steel, his every command a challenge to her independence. Elara feels her breath catch whenever their eyes meet, a dangerous awareness sparking amidst their animosity. But if she fails to trust him, her dream, her people, and perhaps her very life will be forfeit to a darkness more sinister than Kaelen's corporate ruthlessness. She stands to lose everything, caught between a cold devil and a hidden deep.
