Terms of surrender

Ibrahim_Haneefah
Aria Sterling, the self-made tech billionaire known as the “Ice Queen,”inherits her late father’s empire with one cruel stipulation: marry within a year or lose it all. Desperate to protect her life’s work, she devises a ruthless solution, a fake marriage to Kai Donovan, her infuriatingly handsome Head of Security and the only man who dares defy her. Kai, an ex-military rogue with a shadowy past, agrees to the charade for $10 million, but on his terms: no secrets, no walls, and no mercy. Their marriage is a battlefield. Aria clings to control, while Kai dismantles her icy facade with smoldering banter, midnight rescues, and a vow to protect her even from herself. But as corporate sabotage threatens her empire, and a kidnapper’s bullet nearly ends her life Aria’s carefully constructed walls crumble. Kai’s relentless loyalty forces her to confront the scars of her father’s betrayal and the terrifying truth: she’s falling for the man sworn to expose her darkest secrets. Amidst glittering galas, deadly boardroom schemes, and tropical nights charged with forbidden desire, Aria and Kai walk a razor’s edge between hatred and obsession. When Kai risks his life to save hers, their fake vows collide with explosive reality. But trust is a luxury neither can afford, not when his past is tangled in her father’s sins, and her enemies demand blood. Terms of Surrender is a fiery tale of power, passion, and redemption, where love is the ultimate gamble. Can a queen who rules with ice surrender to a man forged in fire? Or will the ghosts of their pasts destroy the fragile empire they’ve built and the hearts they never meant to lose?

Wings of Dark Snow

The protagonist awakens in an endless void, surrounded by silence and absolute darkness. A strange sense of emptiness fills him, yet he feels no fear. It is as if everything—even his own existence—has lost its meaning. Is he dead? Or is this merely the beginning of something else? He searches for an answer but finds nothing. His memories are hazy, shrouded in mist. He was a 21-year-old student, living in isolation, knowing only books and distant wild animals. His world had always been quiet, dim—as if life itself had eluded him. Then, in a fleeting moment of clarity, he finds himself… somewhere else. But is it a real place? Or just a lingering thought, a dream fading within the depths of his mind? Deep within an icy cave, amidst shattered bones, stands a massive statue of an ancient ice dragon, its frozen gaze fixed upon two mysterious eggs. The air is charged with an invisible presence, as if this cave is not just a place, but the very essence of darkness itself. Is he still alive? Or merely a faint echo of a forgotten idea? {“I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com”}
