Eve, a rich heiress, is obsessed with revenge against her cruel step-sibling, but nothing she does seems to hurt them. Desperate, she makes a risky deal with a demon to get his help. In exchange, he gives up part of his immortality, leaving him weaker and vulnerable. To regain his power, the demon must make Eve fall in love with him-something completely against his nature. But as they work together, their connection grows. Eve begins to soften, drawn to the demon's unexpected kindness, while he discovers feelings he thought he'd lost. Their bond becomes undeniable as the demon admits he cares for Eve, seeing not just her anger but her strength and heart. Now, Eve is torn between her thirst for vengeance and her growing feelings for him. With danger closing in, they must face a difficult question: will their love break them, or will it save them both?

I Was Your Salvation, Now I'm Your Curse Chapter 1 Death at midnight

The luxury yacht floated peacefully on the dark ocean, its lights glowing like a palace in the night. Gentle waves lapped against its sides, hiding the chaos building on the deck.

Eve gripped the cold railing, staring at the moonlit horizon. Tonight was supposed to be a celebration, but her grandmother's shocking decision to leave the family empire in Eve's hands had changed everything.

Behind her, the sharp click of heels broke her thoughts. Eve didn't need to turn around to know who it was.

"Enjoying the view?" Alina's mocking voice cut through the air, sweet but poisonous.

Eve sighed, tightening her grip. "If you're here to argue about Grandma's choice, don't bother. I didn't ask for this."

Alina stepped closer, her silver dress shining under the moonlight. She leaned against the railing, her beauty sharp, but her eyes full of malice.

"Didn't ask for it?" Alina repeated, pretending to be shocked. "You never have to ask, do you, Eve? Everything always falls into your lap-my father, the family's love, and now the empire. It's always about you."

Eve turned to face her, her eyes sharp. "This isn't a game, Alina. Grandma's decision wasn't mine."

Alina's smile twisted cruelly. "No, it wasn't. But tonight, I'll make my own decision."

A glint of silver caught Eve's eye. Her stomach dropped as she saw the knife in Alina's hand, its blade gleaming in the moonlight.

"Alina," Eve said calmly, though fear crept into her voice. "Put it down. You're taking this too far."

Alina laughed coldly, the sound sending chills through Eve. "Too far? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this moment? This isn't about money. It's about justice."

"Justice?" Eve whispered, stepping back. "You're my sister-"

"Don't call me that!" Alina shouted, her voice full of rage. "Your mother stole my father, tore my family apart, and now you've stolen my future. Do you know what that feels like?"

Eve's heart raced as she tried to reason with her. "I didn't take anything from you. Your anger is with the wrong person."

Alina's lips curled into a cruel smirk. "You really don't know, do you? Your perfect mother didn't die in an accident. My mother made sure of it."

The words hit Eve like a slap. "What are you saying?"

Alina leaned closer, her voice a venomous whisper. "The phone call that pulled her away? My mother's plan. The crash? No accident. Your precious mom was a problem we solved."

Eve stared in horror, her mind racing with memories of that day-her mother's rushed goodbye, the screeching tires, the devastating news.

"You're lying," she said, though her voice shook.

"Am I?" Alina mocked. "Think about it. How quickly we moved in. How easily my mother took her place. Nothing about it was chance."

Anger boiled inside Eve. "You and your mother are monsters."

Alina laughed bitterly. "We did what we had to. And tonight, I'll finish the job."

Before Eve could react, Alina lunged. The knife plunged into Eve's stomach, and a gasp of pain escaped her lips. The world blurred, her body wracked with agony.

"You..." Eve choked, her hands trembling as she clutched the knife. "You stabbed me."

Alina sneered, shoving her back. "Of course, I did. You've always been so naive. Did you think I'd let you leave here alive?"

Eve fell against the railing, blood seeping between her fingers. With trembling hands, she gripped the knife's handle and, with a desperate cry, pulled it out. Pain surged through her as she flung the blade away, watching it clatter to the floor.

Alina smirked, stepping closer. "How dramatic. But bravery won't save you."

Eve struggled to stay upright, but Alina grabbed her dress, forcing her back against the railing. The cold metal dug into her back as Alina leaned in, her voice a cruel whisper.

"Any last words?"

Eve's voice was faint, but her eyes burned with defiance. "I'll...come back for you."

Alina's smile widened. "Rot in hell."

With a final shove, Alina pushed her over the edge.

Eve's scream vanished into the night as she hit the freezing water. The ocean swallowed her, its icy grip pulling her under until there was nothing but silence.

Inferno Heiress: Freed From Hell To Reclaim My Empire

Clara Voss

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
