Riann Hsu's life takes a drastic turn when she got engaged to Edward Vanderbilt, one of New York's richest billionaires, based on a deal. The terms are clear, the most important one is: clear abuse allegations against Edward and rebuild his dead reputation, and he'd help her repay her mom's debts and hand her the socialite role on a silver platter. The only thing keeping her from having a peaceful marriage is the animosity between her and Theodore, her fiance's son and devil-reincarnate. They're both biding their time to destroy each other. But the line between desire and hatred blurs when, in a moment of mutual wanting and vulnerability, he shows her just what his mouth is capable of aside from throwing snark comments her way. From pushing aside her growing feelings for Theo to discovering strange clues that reveal dark secrets the family hides, she has to fight off every obstacle lining up her way to remain in the household. As she digs deeper into the family's buried past, the mystery turns out to be darker than an ordinary case of domestic violence. Everyone in the Vanderbilt family holds an agenda of their own, and if she wants to find the culprit before they target her this time, she has to pretend she is just a naive, housewife unaware of the danger lurking around. But investigating an unsolved case by herself is risky, and it's only a matter of time before someone sees through her pretense and ruins her plan. · · · [ status: ongoing ] ‣ extended blurb + trigger warnings inside

All Zylith has ever wanted was to get the lead roll of " the red shoes ballet." Ballet is her life, her escape, her solace. She's well-mannered, intelligent and brings peace to any room she walks in. But she will do anything to succeed. Grady is the opposite. He's temperamental, cunning, and brings chaos and death to anyone in the vicinity of him. He's the son of a good for nothing mafia don. The only thing that's common between the two is they will do anything; anything to escape their fathers. • Zylith experiences a bunch of firsts with Grady, and he with her. Somewhere along the road of denial, broken hearts, and love, he learns one thing: the crown of blood and bone will be his, but the river of the damned will only run dry when he has her by his side.

In the midst of her family's best kept secret being plastered amongst the tabloids, Astoria Damaris came to realize 3 things that she quickly grew to resent. The first being that London's unruly weather has made it rather difficult to wear the new Dior skirts that she had been waiting to show off all spring. She quite liked her title as 'IT girl' but after their haste move to Europe, she found it quite strenuous to upkeep it due to the dull climate. Secondly, Astoria Damaris realized that it was becoming rather tiresome to be Astoria Damaris. Dead older sister, consistent lack of privacy, and irreparable mommy issues- Add a sordid family scandal to that, and she'd begin to question whether she'd prefer living an impoverished lifestyle. But then she's remember how dearly she adored her shoe collection and scrap the whole idea. Lastly, british boys have proved to being a dangerous sub-species. With those annoyingly hot accents and their perpetual charm, attending a school filled to the rim with them was a dire mistake. So, Astoria vowed to stay away from them- Especially ones with captivating blue eyes, dimpled smiles that are kept under wraps, and go by the name Grayson King. Unfortunately, the last vow she made to herself lasted about a week, when she promised to control her vapid shopping addiction. It was going well until Chanel dropped their winter collection, and she just had to get her hands on a masterfully curated fur coat. Hopefully, icy blue eyes were less appealing to her than a one-of-a-kind fur coat.
