Updated at May 20, 2026, 00:56
When Luca Navarro is killed at thirty in a hit‑and‑run meant for someone else, his final thought isn’t fear—it’s regret. The universe answers with a fracture.Luca wakes up ten years earlier in a parallel world, alive in the body of his twenty‑year‑old self. His best friend Mara is breathing again. His future hasn’t happened yet. And the man whose betrayal destroyed him—Adrian Vale—is now a sharp‑edged, ambitious twenty‑one‑year‑old who notices Luca far too quickly.This isn’t a second chance. It’s a different universe.Here, Luca’s presence destabilizes everything: relationships shift, events diverge, and the powerful Shadow Investor—the hidden force behind his death—detects an anomaly in their perfect predictions. Luca.As he navigates a world both familiar and wrong, Luca must protect Mara from the fate she met in his first life, outmaneuver the conspiracy that once erased him, and confront Adrian Vale—the man he once loved, the man who never knew, and the man who now feels an inexplicable pull toward him.But the multiverse has rules. Every choice Luca makes pushes this universe further from the one he remembers. Every emotion he tries to bury echoes louder across timelines. And every step he takes toward Adrian threatens to collapse the fragile balance holding this world together.To survive, Luca must decide who he is in this universe: the ghost of the man who died, the stranger who replaced him, or someone entirely new.And if this world is going to keep him—if it’s going to converge around him instead of rejecting him—Luca must face the truth he never dared to in his first life:Some rivalries are just another way the universe writes a love story.

Alpha of the Steel Tower
Updated at May 17, 2026, 07:13
Elena arrives in the city with nothing but a worn bag and a promise to her mother: she’ll make this job work. The skyscraper she steps into is a world of glass, steel, and power — ruled by a man everyone fears. Damian Blackwell. Billionaire. CEO. Untouchable. His word is law in the boardroom, his presence magnetic, his gaze sharp enough to cut. But behind the tailored suits and penthouse walls, Damian hides a secret no human should ever know. He is Alpha. And Elena is his destined mate. Only he rejects her. Coldly. Brutally. To protect her from the war brewing between his empire and the rival pack clawing at his territory. But rejection doesn’t break the bond. It only makes it burn hotter. Every day Elena is pulled deeper into his world — luxury towers, forbidden attraction, mafia rivals, and the growl that follows her through the night. Every chapter of her life becomes a battle between desire and survival, between the man who denies her and the wolf who cannot let her go. When the rival Alpha claims Elena as his own, Damian must choose: - His empire of glass and steel… - Or the mate he swore he would never take. The city will burn. The pack will bleed. And Elena will discover that her bloodline carries secrets even Damian never imagined. Rejected mate. Ruthless CEO. Hidden Alpha. Forbidden love. This is not just a romance. It’s a war between worlds — and Elena is the prize both men are willing to kill for.
