Yumi once believed kindness meant love.. until her confession became a public humiliation she would never forget. In middle school, she stood in front of everyone and offered her heart to Zeke, the boy everyone admired. What she received in return was laughter, cruelty, and a single word that shattered her world: pathetic. Years later, Yumi is no longer the girl they mocked. She has learned how to be quiet, distant, and untouchable. But when fate brings her face to face with the past.. old wounds resurface, and unresolved feelings begin to stir. This is a story about first love, heartbreak, growth, and the painful question of whether the people who hurt us most deserve a second chance. Sometimes, young love doesn't fade. Sometimes, it scars. And sometimes... it comes back when you least expect it.

"You're shaking," he murmured, his palm cupping her heat with a heavy, possessive weight that made her knees give way. He didn't just touch her; he staked a claim, his fingers sliding in her folds with a slow, agonizing deliberation that demanded her absolute focus. "You're suffocating me," she panted, her hands clutching his shoulders as the relentless friction turned her blood to liquid fire. "I am keeping you where you belong," he growled, his teeth sinking into the curve of her shoulder as his other hand came at her until she was nothing but a pulse against his hand. She was sent as a political bride, a living apology, a pawn meant to wither beneath the weight of an unforgiving empire. He was a ruler forged by betrayal, untouched by warmth, and sworn never to need a woman by his side. Their marriage was meant to be a sentence-hers to endure, his to ignore. But when a woman expected to break instead reaches the heart of an emperor, the empire itself begins to crack. In a world of crowns, bloodlines, and ruthless power, this is the story of a bride who was never meant to live... and the emperor who was never meant to love. 1st of the dragonbound crown series

"How dare you!!!" She screamed. And... Slapped him hard across his face. But she had no clue who she was messing, because the next moment, he hissed, "Congratulations. That slap is just going to make you my wife." 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝟏𝟖+ | Romantic-Thriller

-Romy and Marcus- "I'm so close" I whimper, he grinds harder and harder against my now bare pussy, the thong moved away somewhere between all his grinding and it feels so much better bare. I feel the familiar ache stir inside me and my eyes close in pleasure. "That's it sweetheart, come for daddy." I lose it at his deep voice ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ R O M Y: I had a rendezvous with a complete stranger, in the middle of a date with another man. I find out later on that he's married. I feel like a homewrecker, but I didn't know. I want to stay away from him. But somehow I always keep coming back to him. I'm Romy Rae, and this my story.

"I want a divorce." And just hearing him say that my whole world that seemed to revolve around him stopped. Gathering myself I barely managed to speak in a voice that even I could not recognise. I couldn't comprehend anything going around me. "Wh..hy?" As soon as the words left my mouth he threw the file and the photographs spread across the floor. And those photographs had me in compromising positions with not one but several men. Looking at those photos I looked straight into his eyes. Disgust and hatred. The only emotions I could see. Taking a deep breath I composed myself and tried to keep my face void of the emotions I felt at that moment. Hurt and immense pain. If he didn't trust me then he has no right to see me vulnerable too. "Is this the only reason why you want to divorce me? No other except this?" It was foolish of me to ask him but I had to make sure. Also for me trust comes before love. If he doesn't trust me I don't even want to save the relationship. "Is this not enough you whore? What else can I expect from a slut and a gold digger like you! I knew it from the start that all you showed was just a facade. Your innocence, kindness, it was all fake. I just don't believe how can I be so dumb." Was I hurt? No I was broken beyond repair. My heart ached. I felt like I was seconds away from collapsing. I had far exceeded the limit of hurt and pain. I was so powerless in that moment that I couldn't even fight with him. Love makes you strong. I have heard and felt that countless times but they always forget to mention what comes after that. Love makes you weak too. I couldn't shout at him because I loved him. But I had to be brave. For myself. ************************************************** Is love enough for two people to be together or is there something more important than love? This is story of Xander and Sophie who loved each other but still couldn't be together. Because more important than love is trust. © All rights reserved

"You see him as an heir of your empire and not as a family member. All you care about is the inheritance and not the child. If all you want is an heir then why not marry someone and produce as many heirs as you want." She stopped as she narrowed her eyes at him. And then with a mocking expression she continued, "Or is it that you are unable to Re.Pro.Duce??" seeing the angry flush on his face her heart smiled with satisfaction. But before she could celebrate her little victory against him he pulled her from her wrist and she collided with his hard chest. Snaking an arm around her waist he held her tightly as she struggled in his hold. "Don't play with fire, Ms Lilly Jones or don't complain to me later if you end up getting burned."

"You have beautiful eyes, I'd love to be lost in them." He said with a soft smile on his face. "Has that line worked for every female?" "Maybe it has, but I really want it to work on you because I have a crush and if it doesn't, I'll be in an awkward situation." He said making me laugh. "I'm Ethan." "I'm Louisa."

Lilly found an egg on a hiking trip. Nothing abnormal on that, right? Except the egg was four times bigger than supposedly the biggest egg in the world, the ostrich's egg. Okay, no biggie... Except that when the egg breaks, something out of your favorite fantasy book comes out and... think you are its mama. Huston, NOW we DO have a problem. But the problem gets worse when Daddy shows up and thinks Lilly are his egg kidnapper! Now Lilly has to figure out a way to detach from the creature that came out of the egg and return home, to the real world... except that not falling for the asshole dude that claims he is a king turns to be more difficult than she thought. He is a brute of a man of not many words. Lilly definitely needs some assistance here! *Going through edition... at a snail pace:)* #1 in Baby #2 in FantasyCreatures #1 in Dragón 20/02/24 #2 in DragonKing 24/03/24 #1 in Royal 24/03/24
