"The agreement has been altered," Caspian said, swirling his whiskey again. "You no longer attend the University of Jaipur. Your exams are irrelevant. And your... parents... are no longer expecting you for dinner. You will not be returning to India." Ishani's breath hitched. She scrambled backward until her spine hit the padded headboard of the bed. "Are you insane?" she gasped, her eyes wide with total disbelief. "You can't do that! You can't just put me on a plane and take me to another country while I'm sleeping! That's... that's kidnapping, Caspian! You are a scholar! You run a foundation!" Caspian let out a low, dark chuckle. The sound was rich, amused, and completely devoid of any remorse. He looked at her as if she were a tiny, adorable kitten hissing at a lion. Her anger didn't threaten him; it entertained him. "I am a King, Ishani," Caspian corrected softly, taking another sip of his drink. "And Kings do not kidnap. They claim what belongs to them. And last night, in the desert, you gave yourself to me. You are mine now. And what is mine stays by my side." "I slept with you!" Ishani yelled, her voice pitching up in sheer panic. "I didn't sign a contract to become your property! You can't just buy me and put me on a jet! Turn this plane around! Right now! Turn it around and take me back to my family!" Caspian sighed, a slow, exaggerated sound of mock disappointment. He uncrossed his legs and leaned forward, resting his forearms on his knees, holding the crystal glass loosely between his hands. "You are being dramatic, little bird," Caspian admonished gently, his tone incredibly patronizing. It was the exact tone an indulgent parent would use with a toddler throwing a tantrum in a toy store. "You are acting as if I am dragging you into a coal mine. Do you have any idea what I am offering you?" He gestured with his glass toward the luxurious cabin. "I am giving you the world," Caspian stated smoothly.

"You think you're a ghost in these halls, Aurora, but I have memorized the frequency of your breath. Go ahead-run. But I am the horizon; no matter how far you go, you are still within my sight. I will dismantle every version of a life you've built without me until the only thing left for you to lean on is my shadow. You aren't just a part of my world; you are the pulse I use to measure it." - Evander Laurent __________ In the hallowed, gothic halls of Ardencrest University, being a 'Ghost' is a survival strategy. Scholarship student Aurora Lane knows the rules: stay invisible, protect her brother, and avoid the gaze of the Elite. But she made one fatal mistake. She was noticed by the Crown Prince. Evander Laurent doesn't just lead; he possesses. He is a mastermind who views people as chess pieces, and he has decided that Aurora is his most prized prize. He doesn't want her heart-he wants to be the very air she breathes. He is systematically isolating her, tearing down her world until he is the only thing she has left to hold onto. In a game of psychological warfare and dark obsession, Aurora must decide: will she break under his control, or will she learn to rule the shadows he created? He's not just watching her. He's rewriting her reality. ____ "The Crown Prince |18+" is the first book in the Princes of Ardencrest Series

"He got shot to protect her and died without even revealing his true feelings?! This is so unfair author-sama!"I screamed at the book right in front of me. "I had enough of this! Endymion should get his happy ending as well!" Suddenly,I saw a light coming from inside the book."What the?"I opened it. "Do you wish to save second male lead?" Is this for real? A yes and no appeared in front of me.I tapped on "yes"."Do as you wish but under a condition... Never fall for the second male lead" "What?!I have a huge crush on him already?! What are you talking about?!" " -_-"appeared on the book. It went silent for a bit but a new message appeared. "Then never admit your feelings for the second male lead to him." [...] "I accept." 📌 Note‼️: the picture does not belong to me.I took the picture from Google. I wrote this because I was bored of the classic mafia with a naive fl and can do it all ml. I also didn't include too much love triangle , double faced people and unessasary drama.

°•○Book 1 in The Forsaken Bloodline Series.○•° ☆Can be read as a standalone☆ In the Ricci Empire, daughters are meant to die before they become toddlers. Any girl born into the bloodline is considered a curse, a weakness that must be erased before she can even take her first steps. Seren Ricci should have been nothing more than a shadow, a secret buried and forgotten. Born from a forbidden night, she is a living sin her father, Alexandros Ricci, cannot forgive-and a secret that could destroy everything he has built. From the moment of her birth, Alexandros kept her at a distance, cold and unyielding, treating her as a mistake rather than a child. Outside the walls of their estate, the empire enforces its brutal law without mercy, and every heartbeat of Seren's life is a defiance of tradition. But when tragedy threatens to take her away, Alexandros is forced to confront a truth he has long denied: he cannot bear to lose her. Hatred fractures into something raw and dangerous, and the child he once despised becomes the center of his world. In a realm where daughters are meant to die, Alexandros must choose-between loyalty to the empire and the daughter who has become his everything. Seren is more than a secret. She is his rebellion, his redemption, and the spark of love that could either save them both-or destroy everything he has ever known. --- °•○All rights are reserved.
