Ashanti is finally living the life she dreamed of, working a job she loves. Everything is going well. But then President Theodore Thomas gets elected, and everything seems to go downhill. The population is decreasing, and women are not having children, so the government decided to take matters into its own hands. Instead of women being drafted into the military, they're drafted into marriage. Marriage is not a choice; it's an order, and if you try to run, the consequences are deadly. Will Ashanti get drafted? Or will she be one of the lucky ones who don't get chosen? "This has to be a joke. He lied to us all. He doesn't care about the marriages; he just wants to control us," I yell out loud. "Ashanti, you have to calm down, or he will hear you," she says lowly. I shrug my shoulders. "I don't care. Fuck him," I spat. "Say that one more time, I dare you," Noah says calmly. My eyes widen in shock, hearing his voice. I didn't realize he was here. Fuck, I just messed up. Why couldn't I just keep my big-ass mouth shut? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates Every Sunday!

Sera grew up believing kindness was enough to survive the world. As the daughter of a baron, she lived modestly, loved deeply, and fell for the wrong boy. Leon-arrogant, wealthy, and cruel-was the boy she liked. And the boy who bullied her the most. What began as childish teasing slowly became something sharper, more humiliating. Tired of waiting for kindness that never came, Sera turned away from him and poured her heart into studying magic instead. She learned to grow strong alone. Only then did Leon feel it. The ache in his chest. The twist in his stomach. The fear of losing something he never thought mattered. But by the time Leon understands his own feelings, Sera has already changed-calm, distant, and standing beside Sebastian, the gentle crown prince who treats her with quiet respect. This is a slow-burning hate-to-love story where love comes too late, hearts are tested by pride and regret, and the line between cruelty and devotion blurs. Though it begins within the walls of an imperial academy, A Bitter Taste unfolds into a tale of war, magic, and destiny-ending on the battlefield and within the royal palace, where mages, swordsmen, and healers must choose who they truly are... and who they are willing to lose.

In the mysterious embrace of moonlit ocean depths, where enchanting murmurs of magic wove through the currents, an untold tale unfurled. This is the story that commences with Vanessa, a woman whose fate entangled with the perilous machinations of the formidable sea witch, Ursula. Amidst waves whispering secrets and tides concealing ancient mysteries, Vanessa's journey began, fueled by a heart left shattered.
