WARNING: A roller coaster love-hate journey and a tear-jerking story equipped with mysteries.

Dylan Sterling, the youngest and the most ruthless chief executive of Sterling Group, has special powers that superseded the Group. Money, fame, and intelligence were clear evidence of his status in the society he belongs to. His exceptional talent had a hidden purpose, and the DARK WORLD he ruled was cruel. He showed no mercy to everyone who blocked his path and devoured those who attempted to stand against him.

Savannah Schultz- 21 years old, an orphan turned to be a model, was engaged to wed Devin only to gain support for the family business that her father built for many years. Later she went south after her father died. And her uncle Dalton Schultz adopted her to get everything she had, including Devin's aid.

Devin had sold her off like a slave to his uncle Dylan - to scheme the notorious man for additional capital to inject into his business venture. Dylan had eaten her up like a box of chocolates and treated her like a bargaining chip.

She felt herself knocked off balance and falling into a deep abyss. Anger, sadness, embarrassment –swelled within her and threatened to ruin her life.

To save himself from humiliation, he perfectly planned to take her as his nominal wife and promised to help her break up the engagement and aid her family business.

Helpless and humiliated, she accepted his bargain. She started to become strong in front of those bullies, yet she was weak when it comes to him.

They lived together but treated each other as strangers. He had no plans of falling for her as someone had occupied his heart a few years ago.

Then the situation shifted when he discovered who she really was! But the dark world he ruled threatened to destroy them.

Mystery, deception, and revenge-fueled them both to rise together.

Volume Two Title: Marrying The HEIRESS

A wrong encounter that leads to a bad impression. She accused him of being a pervert and arrogant. Hazel, a badass and strong young woman, has always been fiercely dealing with every circumstances she encountered, including the time she met Joshua Denmark. She gave him a great lesson he'd never forget after she wrongly accused him.

He knew she's the woman he wanted to be with, and he stole her first kiss. Her strong and straightforward personality hooked Joshua despite the danger ahead.

He drew her towards him by announcing a big competition - seeking a surrogate mother for his heir. Hazel's friends had quickly signed her name on the online form without her permission. Leaving no option, she joined the competition only to find out that the man who stole her first kiss was the same person who launched the competition.

Owing to the trick played by the ruthless billionaire, little did they know that Hazel would end up breaking into the world of Joshua Denmark. The mystery he hid for many years gradually unfolds.

Doubt and fear played on Joshua's mind when he confirmed her real identity, and several deceptive tricks trapped Hazel into his life. Would he change their destiny, or rather destroy her life for a selfish reason?

“Evil God of the Universe, You are in every space and time. Present in every dimension of reality and govern the darkness of our world.Oh, almighty Atticus! Hear our plea and grant us your presence tonight, awaken my Lord!”The rain had completely stopped and the strong gale had subsided into the fading raindrops. The night had turned eerily silent and only the sizzling and cackling of the fire entered their ears.Suddenly, they all felt like floating from their feet despite setting foot on the watery, hard ground, as if they were traversing into space. The darkness of the night gradually turned darker, enveloping them, morphing into everyone, like a void eating them slowly. Sequentially, their breathing turned oddly slower. Despite exaggeratedly inhaling air to breathe, it was to no avail, as if a higher entity was limiting them from breathing.Nolan felt his throat and tried to open his mouth to gasp more air but failed. Everyone but him was in a state of indignation and panic as they struggled to breathe to fill their lungs with air. Nolan tried to calm his heart. He closed his eyes and stopped inhaling air in pure panic, instead, he put his heartbeat and breathing into a rhythm. It was hard at first, but after a minute, he found his breathing gradually went stable.His whole being was in pure anticipation of what was going to happen next.After a couple more minutes, the storm completely subsided, the night turned to normal. Nolan remained standing, taking in his surroundings with his eyes closed. Everything turned silent. The eerie atmosphere and the crackling of the fire from the hay figure didn’t even enter his ears. Nolan waited for a couple more minutes, his breathing turning normal. He was reluctant to open his eyes, afraid he might ruin their ritual.“It’s alright now, Young Master. You can open your eyes now.”Nolan’s breathing hitched. He jolted on his feet as he fluttered his eyes open.“Atticus? W-why are you here?”The butler, standing in front of him, a raincoat hung on his arm, smiled. “I am everywhere, Young Master, in order to best serve you.”****Atticus, a demi-god from the underworld, was cast out of his parents' realm and banished to the human world. The reason? He had yet to give them any grandchildren.Disclaimer: This story is a work of fiction and is purely the product of my imagination.
