Healing-Pen
On the day of his graduation, Ethan Cole dropped to one knee before the woman he thought he would spend forever with. But instead of a "yes," her laughter cut through the air, sharp and humiliating. She told him he was unworthy, a nobody scraping by on part-time jobs, unfit to even breathe the same air as her. In front of the entire school, she walked away, straight into the arms of a wealthy heir who showered her with luxuries beyond imagination. What she never knew was that Ethan wasn’t poor at all.

But as Ethan steps into power, enemies circle. Greedy corporations, shadowy organizations, and even members of his own bloodline want him destroyed. In love and in war, he must navigate betrayal, vengeance, and temptation, while uncovering a darker truth: that power comes with a cost even money can’t pay. His ex thought she rejected a poor man.

Immanuel N.C
"Pardon?" Keegan pinched the bridge of his nose. "We were supposed to do this subtly, Eva. You don't just drop this kind of news like a bombshell." Eva didn't look remorseful.

His eyes widened. The results stated that their DNA samples matched. How could he be a child of the Novaks? *** Travis's life was pretty much ordinary and average until one fateful night took the life of his adoptive father.

From a loner who once feared people, he transformed into a billionaire innovator admired by millions—yet still deeply in love with the quietness that shaped him. “A Loner” is a moving story of fear, resilience, love, and the extraordinary power of embracing one’s uniqueness.
