The life of Florian Sambridge-Lockwood can be as privileged as any rich New York student. Parties every weekend in the Hamptons, shopping sprees at Saks Fifth Avenue, and toasting to champagne for dinner. That is until an anonymous account named 'Birdie' begins to expose the secrets of many students at the exclusive Cardinal Richelieu Collegiate Academy. And to top it off, newly arrived transfer students threaten the hierarchy. Among the new students is Julian Marcuse, who has begun to insert himself into Florian's life through many ways. Will Florian survive Birdie and their masklfess face? Will he ignore Julian to preserve his own secrets? How far will Florian go to shield himself from everyone?

"Marry me." He said it like he was ordering coffee. Calm and fucking certain. "Like hell I will, bastard." "Let me rephrase, Mr. Lantsov." His eyes sharp enough to draw blood. "If you want Project Athena, you will marry me." "Wh-what?" My laugh cracked somewhere between disbelief and panic. "Have you lost your mind!" He took a step closer, slow, deliberate. "It's a business arrangement. You're good at faking, aren't you?" I scoffed. "Faking? You-you'll be the one faking shit. You're as straight as the rod you keep up your ass!" His smile didn't reach his eyes. "That's my issue, not yours." "And-" My throat went drier, "what's mine?" "Saying yes before I decide you no longer have a choice." ------- CHECKMATE CHRONICLES (The Art of Deception) Book #1 Two corporations. Two kings. One throne no one's willing to share. Asael Lantsov is fire - reckless, untamed, impossible to cage. Isaac Warren is ice - controlled, calculating, deadly when provoked. A reckless heir who treats chaos like oxygen. A control freak who counts every molecule of it. They were meant to compete, not collide. But when the world's most expensive tech project - Project Athena - forces their companies into a joint venture, rivalry turns into a war behind polished smiles and billion-dollar contracts. And the final move? A legal marriage binding their corporations and maybe their lives for two years. Enemies by history. Lovers by law. Bound by a contract neither can escape. In a game where every secret could cost the world its freedom, love isn't the endgame - it's the most dangerous weapon of all. When fire meets ice, chaos reigns. And in their world, checkmate isn't just the end- it's the beginning.

All Lu Xingchi wanted after transmigrating into a melodramatic web novel was to live the ultimate "salt-fish" life-lazy, low-profile, and completely irrelevant to the plot. His survival plan as a nameless intern was simple: stay out of trouble and mind his own business. The only problem? He was bound to a high-tech "Melon-Eating System" that constantly fed his brain with the juiciest, most scandalous secrets of the high-society elite around him. But the ultimate system glitch? It completely forgot to warn him that his boss-Xie Cangqiong, the infamously cold, ruthless, and terrifying billionaire CEO-could hear every single one of his thoughts. While Lu Xingchi was busy broadcasting chaotic rants, biting sarcasm, and highly descriptive commentary about how ridiculously attractive his boss was, Xie Cangqiong was listening to every single word. "Xingchi, your mind is exceptionally noisy today," Xie Cangqiong whispered, trapping the trembling intern against his executive desk. "And according to what you just thought... you want me to skip the lunch meeting and do *that* in my office instead?" Lu Xingchi: [SYSTEM!!! HELP!!! The internship manual never prepared me for a boss who can read my mind!] The peaceful intern life is officially over. Welcome to a corporate world of massive scandals, dangerous secrets, and a shockingly shameless CEO who refuses to let his little "melon-eater" go!

"This is wrong..." I breathed, but even to my own ears, it didn't sound convincing. My back was pressed against the hallway wall, his body just inches from mine, heat radiating between us. We could get caught. "Then stop me," Everest murmured, his voice tempting and low, swirling around me like smoke. "Tell me to back off. Say the word, and I will." I didn't move or speak. His gaze darkened as a grin crept in. The air between us thickened. It was getting harder to breathe. His fingers brushed along my collarbone, delicately. Then lower-slowly-trailing down to the center of my chest. I shivered beneath his touch. When his hand hovered just above my waistband, his fingertips grazing the fabric, I sucked in a breath. "Being this close to you..." he murmured, his voice turning me on more. His eyes flicked down to where his fingers toyed with the edge of my sweatpants. "Seeing you like this..." he leaned in, his breath brushing my skin, "it drives me crazy." What the hell have I gotten myself into? CONTAINS: bxb, mature themes, strong language, intersex, etc

"I'm curious, you can read my mind but I can't read yours. What are you thinking?" I question him curiously, seeing his lips tighten into a straight line. His hand rested on the mirror, seeing his finger rest on my face. He bites his lip only to soon move it off. When he turns now I see him look at me and I wait. "I'm thinking...how handsome you are, that's what I am thinking." He murmurs to me and I raise my eyebrow. "I am thinking that, I promise!" "I believe you." I chuckle, and he looks away shyly. "You're handsome in a fairy-like way...if that makes sense." Azriel looks back at me, seeing him blush again. ___________________🐺💉 Never did Idris Drexel expect to be making an alliance with the enemy, Azriel Moreau.
