But when a drug deal goes wrong, his plans for an epic summer vacation are cut short. Case is taken captive, driven halfway across the country, and locked in a basement he can't escape. No one knows he is missing. No one knows where he is. No one is coming to save him. With his life on the line, Case is forced into an abusive relationship with his captor. But when his own thoughts begin to betray him, twisting hope with despair, and fear with love, can Case truly survive long enough to escape?

brief introduction: Wu Mei, the head chef of private cuisine, accidentally ate a red umbrella and when she woke up again she became the second daughter of a pancake shop in Yanjing City. 　　My father died early, and my widowed mother worked from dawn to dusk to support the family, and she was very busy. 　　Looking at the group of hungry little kids, Mei Niang had no choice but to pick up the spatula. 　　Originally, I just wanted to feed my younger brothers and sisters, but within a few days, neighbors in the alley came over after hearing the fragrance. 　　"Sister Mei, do you still have the mulberry jam you made last time?" 　　"Second girl, give me ten of those pickled mustard greens pancakes!" 　　"Sister Mei'er, the little wine stand in front wants to order 20 kilograms of braised pig's head meat from you!" 　　Relying on her cooking skills that turned ordinary food into delicious food, Mei Niang quickly became a food trendsetter in the entire alley, and her small pancake shop did a booming business. 　　The poor people in the alley suddenly became plump and full of hope, which attracted the attention of the Wucheng Bingmasi. 　　Several adults came here in person to investigate the case. 　　Three days later, Commander Gu slowly walked out of the alley, holding on to the wall, followed by a group of subordinates who were staggering and burping. 　　"Let's get everyone out. There's nothing stolen here, but the food is just too good..." 　　Mr. Gu looked back at the sign of the pancake shop and suddenly felt that he had a new goal in life. 　　If I could eat such delicious meals every day, what else could I ask for? 　　Content tags: past life, time travel, sweet food , drama

TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual assault/violence against women Siobhan - I was raised to believe I was special, a jewel, all because of simple trick of genetics. I am an omega. As such, my life was mapped out from birth - mate an alpha of good family, have his children, keep his home - until my future was snatched away from me. Against all odds, I've built a life for myself in a society that now tells me I am worthless. As an unmated omega, my options are limited, but I can no longer afford to accept those limits. Then, an alpha walks into my life - an alpha the old me used to dream about - and he has the money to make my dreams come true. But what will he want in return? Damian - I am everything society expects an alpha to be: rich, handsome, and successful. I want nothing more than to adopt my newly-orphaned nephew, but the courts say that a lone alpha is too rough to be a caregiver. I need a mate, someone softer, someone fit to raise a child, someone to help me fake it just long enough to get custody. It'll take a miracle. What I need is an omega who doesn't want a mate. I never expected to meet her in a nightclub... #1 in AlphaandOmega 9/28/2021, 10/7-11/2022, 11/22-29/2022, 8/14/2024, 2/18/2025 #1 in Omegaverse 5/7/2022, 4/11/2023, 7/27-28/2024 #1 in Modern 6/10-13, 16-19/2022, 1/17-27/2025, 1/31-2/1/2025 #1 in Knotting 10/8/2022, 10/17/2023 #1 in Estrus 8/23/2023, 9/7-18/2023, 11/30-2/19/2024 #1 in Alpha 10/12-13/2023 #1 in Omega 10/12-13/2023 #1 in Contemporary Romance 12/7-8/2023, 12/10-20/2023 #1 in PNR 1/2-5/2024, 7/31-8/20/2024, 10/9-10/2024, 10/28-12/6/2024 #1 in Heats 1/7-18/2024, 1/24-2/13/2024 #1 in Fake Marriage 5/13-15/2024 #1 in AlphaxOmega 5/30-6/1/2024, 5/10/2025

"Do you call this shit food? Make me something else!" A woman Noor couldn't stand for a single second screamed at the chefs and servers. She turned around at the sound of Noor's heels at the kitchen entrance. Arms crossed, eyes piercing deep into her soul, Noor took a slow, intimidating walk over to her. "This...is not a restaurant. It's my house. The food prepared here will be of my choice. You're standing in my kitchen, speaking to my staff. One more word in a raised voice at them, and I will have you dragged out of here. Is that understood?" Noor spoke in a low, threatening voice. "I'm not scared of you." She managed to say in spite of being clearly terrified. "I'm Prem's guest and I will do whatever I want." Her voice broke as she shrugged taking a step back. "Also, shouldn't you be thanking me right now? My busy schedule let you borrow your husband from me last night." She had the audacity to invite a smirk to her lips. With a quick unforeseen step forward, Noor grabbed her by the throat and backed up against the wall behind her. She reached over for the knife on the counter next to her and brought it up to the throat she was holding. "Talk about my husband one more time, and I will slit your throat open." Noor wasn't joking. "You spend enough time with him to know I can do that, right?" She asked as she ran the knife along the side of the horrified face. "Noor!" Called out an angry voice from behind her causing her to drop the knife at once. She turned around to see Prem dressed a crisp cherry colored suit at the kitchen entrance. She took a moment to appreciate the day for bringing him across her twice in twenty four hours. She admired his beauty for a second before looking back at his mistress and pumping some hand sanitizer onto her palm from a nearby bottle. Slowly rubbing her hands together, she walked over to Prem and looked him in the eyes, "take care of your whore before I do." "You will stay the fuck away from her." Prem advised in a dangerous tone.

"You are an expendable. You are not expected to return." (⚠️SPOILERS⚠️) While Urbanshade was quite the abusive company, you didn't mind the underwater travels you often went on, no matter how dangerous some were. They were especially fun when accompanied by your partner, Milo. However, this one was particularly dangerous and different from your other dives. Urbanshade asked the two of you to capture the crystal and retrieve it to HQ immediately. You were surprised they asked such a hefty task of an expandable such as youselves, though happily accepted. It was a mistake. You found yourself hanging on by a thread, mentally as well as physically. Milo was in no better condition. Squiddles were more on edge than ever, The "Good" People dug their claws into your skin with each wrong door you opened, and the Pandemonium's scream could be heard for miles, giving you a massive headache. Before you knew it, however, you walked into what had to be door number fifty by then, and a vent's cover flew off onto the floor. "Psst! Over here..." called a voice. And despite your reluctance, you didn't have much of a choice. So, you crawled into the vent anyway to see the most interesting specimen - or fish, rather - you'd ever seen. He flashed you a smile with his sharp teeth before speaking. "Welcome, welcome! Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you... despite what you have seen, heard, and/or been told... My name is Sebastian," he said. And all you could think to yourself was... "Wow... I'm talking to a *fish.*" HIII! So, my ADHD went off and I was like, "Hmm, I should write another story," so ofc I start writing about the hot fish that's on my hmo list. Anyway... love youuu! 🤗 (Game: Roblox - Pressure)

Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?
