"You deserved a real man to protect you and take care of you." Mm. So much for that. "How could I have done that sitting behind bars?" He takes my face in his hands. "There wasn't a day that went by where I didn't think about you, baby." I close my eyes as a tear drops down my cheek that he gradually wipes away with his thumb. "I've missed you so much, Leila." He says in a deep raspy tone. His lips hungrily fall to mine. They feel so foreign yet so warm and familiar. Both of us fighting for dominance as our tongues twirl against each other. My breathing hikes and I can't help but feel the wine taking over my body as I drape myself over his lap. I need him so bad right now. He starts biting little trails down my neck, getting close enough to one of my sweet spots. I push off him, and rising to my feet. "Nah. I don't believe you." Backing away from him. He returns a confused look. "Lei-." "If you missed me, you would've reached out to me." He finally stands. Sticking both his hands in his pockets. "One year you've been out. What the fuck have you been doing all this time?" I yell. He takes a step forward. Ting. Both of our eyes cut to the elevator. There's a loud drunken screech, "Damiannnn!" Who the fuck is this bitch??

☾Book I of the Lady of Dai☽ Years have passed since the Mad Emperor was deposed and peace has spread throughout Ordan, or so the people say. As the Fifth Dai Emperor ages and the end of his reign become inevitable, thoughts turn to the future and towards the vacant Crown Prince position, yet to be filled. The Imperial Sons bare their fangs and sharpen their swords for a brutal fight for supremacy. The last man standing must have more than intelligence or wealth--he must be willing to crush all opposition in his way. Mei, a foundling taken in by a ducal household is at the very fringe of the keen observers of these fights. Her duties and her concerns have little to do with the inevitable battle. That is until her life is upended and she is forced into the Imperial Court in order to preserve her own wellbeing. Although her resolve is to keep her head down and live a simple life, the events around her make this impossible-she must not only live, she must survive, by choosing to ally herself with an unlikely individual-the Emperor's scandalous 8th son, the Prince Shen Jao. Intrigue, glamour, magic and mystery lurk the corridors of the Imperial Court, where trust is gold, wealth is king and blood flows like wine-but love and passion may be in the cards for the dissolute prince and the foundling with the scarlet eyes.

I've been bullied since as long as I can remember. Dark skin is so this or so that. And it seemed to get worse when I gained weight. "Now not only is she dark, she's fat too!" I couldn't escape it even if I tired. I even attempted to commit suicide. Sitting in the bathtub with nothing but pills a razor and social media looking at all the people that hate you would do that. I tried to make it go away, Lord knows but he had a blessing coming for me. I just had to wait. But I knew even in my waiting it was going to be an uphill battle. Will I win the battle?
