Deceptive Vows: More Than A Contract

Blessing_Udom_1803
She signed away one year of her life. He signed away his soul. Neither expected the truth to be the most dangerous thing of all. Sloane Mitchell has sixteen days to pay off her father’s two‑million‑dollar gambling debt—or a loan shark will collect in blood. Desperate, she turns to an underground agency that brokers contract marriages for the wealthy and dangerous. Mateo Rivas is a billionaire CEO by day, the head of a mafia empire by night. He needs a wife to secure his power and lure out a hidden enemy. Sloane is perfect: educated, desperate, and unknowingly connected to a dark secret from his past. But the contract is built on lies. Mateo married Sloane to find her mother—a woman who vanished fourteen years ago with evidence that could destroy his rival. What he doesn’t expect is Sloane herself: sharp‑tongued, stubborn, and nothing like the obedient wife he ordered. When a rival family kidnaps Mateo’s sister and demands Sloane as a trade, Sloane must decide: run from the danger, or step into the darkness beside a man who has never loved anyone. The greatest betrayal comes from within. And when the contract expires, Sloane will have to choose between the life she signed away and the man who became her everything.

How to Survive as an Uchiha

A man reborn, more interested in his next meal than clan politics, finds himself caught in a power play that could reshape Konoha. Uchiha Masashi has seen it all before - literally. With memories of his past lives and abilities that shouldn't be possible, he'd rather perfect his combat skills than deal with clan drama. But when the newly appointed Fourth Hokage shows up with a proposal to unleash the Uchiha's power beyond their traditional police role, even Masashi has to pay attention. The clan sees opportunity. The village sees profit. Masashi sees the threads of fate that once led to his clan's destruction starting to weave again. As the Uchiha rush to prove themselves "ten times better than the Hyūga," Masashi walks a fine line between duty and survival. He knows too much - about the Nine-Tails incident that could destroy his clan's reputation, about young Shisui's tragic destiny, about the wheels already in motion. The question is: will he bother trying to change any of it? After all, in a world where even the strongest must sometimes bend to fate, sometimes the smartest move is to grab some dango and watch it all unfold. ---------- ---------- I don't own Naruto. Kudos to Masashi Kishimoto. Warnings: - AU - politics - powerful MC - "harem" (2 girls) - MC is sometimes ruthless - shadow clones are not almighty - will be revealed slowly as the story progresses - MC from Earth (never said he isn't, read between lines!)
