SECRET LOVER

Malinka Fazaa Gunardi, more commonly known as Inka, is a beautiful architecture student who spent four years at ETH Zurich in Switzerland to complete her Bachelor’s degree and pursue a Master’s. She couldn’t even attend her sister Daneswari Intan Gunardi (Sister Intan)’s wedding in person, only joining via video call. After finishing her studies, Inka returned to Indonesia and easily landed her dream job in Jakarta. She eventually bought a small apartment close to her new office. Sister Intan had only been married for six months to Bintang Adji Brahmanto (Brother-in-law Adji) through an arranged marriage. Even though she had been in a relationship with her boyfriend for three years, she ultimately had to marry someone else. Tragic? Most definitely. The arranged marriage and parental agreement left Intan heartbroken. Her relationship with Adji was not smooth – that’s what Sister Intan told Inka. When Adji needed a new architect to design the hotel and resort project he was working on, a friend of his who is also an architect recommended a young, beautiful architect with outstanding achievements. It turned out the recommended person was Inka. This unexpected meeting made Adji unable to take his heart off Inka – and would Inka feel the same way even though Adji is her brother-in-law? Meanwhile, without Adji’s knowledge, Intan is still in contact with her ex-boyfriend. Want to know if they will eventually be attracted to each other and how their relationship will develop next?

The Chef and The Crowned Omega

Elara Hale is many things. An art historian for the Crown. A devoted wife. A mother. And the reigning Omega of England’s werewolves. But the truth is, she leads MI6’s Anti-Paranormal Response Division, hunting dark sorcerers and terrorist cells that use corrupted magic to destabilise nations. By blood, she stands above every alpha in the country — sovereign, untouchable, and bound by ancient law to bear only one daughter who will one day inherit the throne. There is only one problem. Her husband has absolutely no idea. Thomas Hale is a celebrated London chef who believes the most dangerous thing in his life is over-reducing a sauce. He knows his wife works for the Crown. He knows important people attend her “promotion dinners.” He even suspects London politics are stranger than they appear. He just doesn’t realise half the guests bow to her. Or that the monsters congratulating him at his restaurant aren’t being polite — they’re acknowledging their Queen’s consort. For six years, their marriage has been built on warmth, humour, and carefully maintained secrets. Until the impossible happens. Elara is crowned beneath a hidden veil at Stonehenge, her hair turning gunmetal silver as ancient magic recognises her sovereignty. The supernatural world shifts. Alphas lower their eyes. Foreign powers take notice. And then she becomes pregnant. An Omega can only bear one daughter. Their daughter Ellie is the only one that knows the truth about her parents and is the monster princess of the United Kingdom. Elara is carrying twins. Two sons. A miracle that should not exist. Across London, the Ashen Dominion — dark sorcerers who corrupt souls to wield black magic — begin testing the Crown’s defences. Other empires treat monsters as weapons. Rumours spread that an ancient mage bloodline may have resurfaced. Because their daughter, Ellie, has already done the impossible. She holds affinity for every element. While Elara fights to keep monsters and humans from open war, Thomas continues to cook, love, and quietly anchor the most dangerous woman in England — But she never realising the power in his blood, and the world changing power him and he's family poses. In a world of hidden kingdoms, sovereign magic, and political intrigue, love may be the most destabilising force of all. Because some queens rule through fear. Elara rules through restraint. And when restraint breaks, empires fall.
