However, she is ready to give up all of this for the most important thing—love. But will this exchange be equal? Will Dana finally be able to find happiness? And will the sun rise over the Earth of Rain?

From birth, he learned what injustice was. His mother's lack of love, his father's indifference, the conspiracy against him by his own brother... All this inevitably led to the fact that the very existence of the eldest heir to the Land of Rain was to be sacrificed to the ambitions of his family. However, His Majesty Chance intervened. And so began a lifelong struggle for power...

I accidentally stumbled upon a secret club whose members perform various strange tasks in exchange for money. Then, while looking for a job, I came to an interview and realized that my new boss and I already knew each other... “Good afternoon,” I opened the door and looked at the man sitting at the table. “I'm here for an interview...” But the words stuck in my throat, and I just blinked because I recognized him. No, I didn't know his face. But the sharp line of his chin and the mole near the right corner of his mouth — I had time to examine them closely... I thought about turning around and running out of the office, but for some reason I continued to stand in the doorway and stare at him. “Stand there, mouse,” I heard his commanding tone. “I recognized you... Come here. Let's talk...”

He is the owner of a large television company specializing in entertainment shows. Rich and influential, he is nevertheless dissatisfied with his own life, which he considers dull and uninteresting. She is a divorced woman with a “problem” child and a host of financial difficulties. By all laws of logic and common sense, these two lives, like two parallel lines, should never have crossed. But somewhere something went wrong...

I have three lives. In one of them, I am an ordinary office worker, a quiet gray mouse, the only woman in a male team. In the second, I am the daughter of an oligarch, a representative of the “golden youth,” who is used to having everything and a little more, and changing men like gloves. In the third, I am the mysterious Black Queen, a date with whom is very expensive and leads to unpredictable consequences. And which of these lives is real, I myself do not know for sure...

I needed this role... And for it, I agreed to become the nanny of a famous director's son. But what started as just an adventure turned into a real explosion of feelings! I tried to pull away, but he took me by the shoulders and held me back. For a moment, our faces were very close. He looked into my eyes. I involuntarily narrowed my eyes, expecting his lips to touch mine. I could smell the pleasant scent of his cologne and feel the warmth of his body. His palms seemed to radiate an invisible current. My shoulders tingled with cold needles where he touched them. A moment later, he let me go. “Next, please!” he said to someone behind him...

He's a rich kid, a jerk, and a playboy. He's my new boss, and I hate him. But from hatred to... When the car parked, a man got out. He was muscular, dark-haired, with gray eyes. He was wearing a coat, a suit underneath, and... sneakers? Expensive, but damn sneakers! He was carrying a sports bag and walking towards the office entrance, straight towards us. “Do you work here?” He glanced at us with a dissatisfied look. “Yes,” Vika squeaked. “Good morning!” "One more time you're late and you can look for another job. I'm going to make this company work properly, no one is going to slack off here anymore, understand? He shifted his gaze from Vika to me. Your jacket is dirty. If you're a secretary, you have to look the part, always..

Lera: "I was hired to gather compromising information, but in reality, I want to become famous as a scientist. However, my new boss presents me with surprises every day. Who is he—an eccentric rich man or a dangerous patient? And what kind of family is this, where everyone has skeletons in their closet?“ Maxim: ”I used to have everything: a beloved fiancée, friends I thought were real, a successful business... But then my best friend died right before my eyes while saving me, and my girlfriend cheated on me with another friend when I stopped living the high life... I thought I would never return to normal life, but then she appeared in my house..."

Oles: On Valentine's Day, our provincial town was shaken by some scary news. Two influential men were found dead in their own homes. A wealthy businessman who helps orphans and runs a shelter for homeless animals, and the owner of semi-legal entertainment establishments closely linked to the criminal world — what could they possibly have in common? Except that both were poisoned by an unknown person, who left a piece of paper next to the bodies with the words “See you in hell”... Ilona: My boss asked me to write about the mysterious murders that took place in my hometown. I understand that this assignment is just an excuse to get rid of me because I've grown tired of the man I've been dating for several years. However, after moving, I met someone I once considered my enemy, and now I have

When you let a stranger into your home, be prepared for your life to turn into hell. Even if he seems so nice at first... And there will be no turning back, especially when you find out that your stalker is no longer alive...

Did you know that right next to our familiar world there is another one, inhabited by creatures similar to humans, but displaced from their usual habitat? These are the spirits of earth, water, air, and fire, which our ancestors once told about in myths, fairy tales, and legends. Are they as hostile to the human race as they want to appear? And how can Mira, a girl who accidentally found herself in that other world, now return home?

I woke up in bed with my ex, and a few weeks later I found out I was pregnant. But wedding rings are not in our future, just like ten years ago... “I have bad news,” I said as soon as Mir sat down on the bench next to me. “What news?” He frowned, then looked at me with alarm: “Do you have HIV or some other nasty disease? Did you get infected in your lab and then infect me?” Even here, this damn egoist was thinking only of himself. For a moment, I wanted to scare Mir, to say that I had indeed infected him with some rare incurable disease, but then I pulled myself together and said: “Don't panic. I'm just pregnant.” Well, I'll figure it out, I don't need money, don't worry. I just thought it would be right for you to know..."

One day, a stranger proposed to me... Or rather, he proposed a fictitious marriage with very strange conditions. I agreed because the reward was my independence. But a trip with my “fiancé” to a meeting of his classmates at a picturesque resort in the Carpathian Mountains was like opening Pandora's box. It turns out that each of the attendees had their own “skeletons in the closet.” And the revelation of the secrets of the past led to a murder in which each of the ten of us could be suspected...

In the near future, humanity has divided into four social classes. Representatives of each class live in specially designated areas and have virtually no contact with each other. It is easier to pluck a star from the sky than for a representative of the lowest class, “C,” to enter the elite. But the hero of my story, Eric, succeeds in doing just that. Like the hero of Mark Twain's novel The Prince and the Pauper, he swaps places in society with Ted, a representative of the highest class, “E”...
