glow the plated prisoner

"I'll see you in the next life, mother," the young boy said, his eyes swollen from crying for several days. ---- Exiled from Udrad after the public stoning of his parents, Alanor Wynter swore on his parents' graves, to bring the lycan kingdom to its knees. So he became the rogue they despised and the devil they all feared. He was a monster, but they had created him, and he was bad. Alanor was the kind of evil that no dictionary even had a description for yet. He had vowed against Udrad's peace until he got his revenge, and no one would stop him, not even the mate the fates had forced on him. After all, he didn't believe in the fated mates. Alanor believed in REVENGE.

This novel is an abridged retelling of 'The Count of Monte Cristo' by Alexandre Dumas. If you're wondering about the cringe-worthy title, it's because I initially wrote the novel under the comedy genre, hence, the overly gen z lingo. Later on, I realised how bad of an idea it was, fortunately so, because it felt like tarnishing the value of the original rather than enhancing it, and decided to rewrite it as a faithfully serious adaptation which aims to reduce the political complexity of the plot as well as to make the narrative more accessible to contemporary readers, without insulting what made the original story timeless. --- Synopsis:- Edmond Dantès had everything, a bright future, the love of his life, and the loyalty of his friends, or so he thought. Until the day it was all ripped away. Branded a criminal for a crime he never committed, he’s locked away in prison where the world forgets him. Years pass, but his fire doesn’t die. Then fate delivers him an impossible key: knowledge, power, and the means to carve his way back into the world. Edmond is reborn, not as the broken man who once begged for justice, but as a phantom cloaked in wealth, influence, and secrets. With every whispered deal, every calculated strike, he tears apart the empire of those who destroyed him. But vengeance is never clean. As the line blurs between justice and obsession, the questions remain: is he reclaiming his stolen life… or becoming something darker than the men he hunts? A saga of betrayal, rebirth, and ruthless revenge. Perfect for fans of psychological drama, sharp intrigue, and slow-burn retribution.

Synopsis Sophia’s fiancé and his mistress acted all lovey-dovey right in front of her, so in a fit of anger, she broke off the engagement and married Robert on impulse! Robert was the famous cold and untouchable CEO of River City, the number one eligible bachelor, like a snow-covered mountain—distant and unshakable. As the heir of the Miller Family, young, talented, rich, and good-looking, no one could understand why Robert would marry someone as ordinary as Sophia. Everyone thought their marriage wouldn’t last a year. But after the wedding, Robert’s life revolved around helping Sophia deal with trouble, spoiling her endlessly, and shocking everyone with his devotion. One day, Sophia blushed and said, “Robert, we got married under an agreement. Our marriage is fake.” Robert pinned her against the wall, pulled out their marriage certificate, and said, “Mrs. Miller, we are legally married. It’s real.” Cold and distant? Just a front. Agreement marriage? A joke. The powerful CEO was actually the most devoted husband, pampering his wife without limits!

She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her — and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future — with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn’t choose. Wears clothes she didn’t buy. Answers to a name she didn’t earn. Every touch is a test. Every night is a transaction. And every whispered “I love you” is a warning. She hides pills beneath her tongue. She dreams of running. But there is no escape — only a cage made of wealth, obsession, and unbearable intimacy. Because he doesn’t just want her body. He wants her compliance. Her mind. Her loyalty. Her womb. And when the daughter discovers the truth — she doesn’t cry. She accuses. Now the doors are locked. The smiles are gone. And the only thing more terrifying than being watched… is being needed. This isn’t love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession. This is what happens when a girl becomes the answer to someone else's madness.

He lives in a world where scents regulate emotions, and silence is worth more than breath. Every step he takes is calculated, every movement guided by the voice that whispers in his earpiece. He doesn’t remember who he used to be, and he never asks — until someone appears whose very presence destroys the system he’s been hiding behind all his life. Beneath the neon glow, the city feels endless, but a single touch is enough to make its walls of code and fear start to crack. And where once there was only cold survival, something new begins to bloom—warm, alive, and therefore dangerous.
