He left once-and if you're foolish enough to believe you can make him stay this time, then by all means, try.

In my own house, I was nothing more than a servant- a ghost with my father's name and none of his love. Until the most powerful man in the room looked at me... and chose me. Not for love. Not for desire. But to destroy someone else. Ares Hawthorne doesn't ask. He decides. And that night, he decided I would be his wife. Just like that- I was traded, signed, and sealed into a marriage I never wanted. He calls me "wife" like it's a warning. Touches me like I'm something he owns. Looks at me like I'm a game he already won. But I won't break for him. I won't beg. And I refuse to become another thing he controls. The problem? The more I resist him... the more dangerous he becomes. Because Ares Hawthorne doesn't lose. And now... I'm the one thing he can't control. The Sovereign. The Saint. A marriage built on control, power, and something far more dangerous than love. This isn't a fairytale. There's no prince. And there's definitely no soft romance here. Just obsession. Tension. And a man who doesn't know how to feel- until her. _____ A Glimpse "Feel how easily I slide in?" he whispered hotly against her ear, breath warm on her damp skin. "This body knows who it belongs to now. Even if your mouth still fights me... your pussy doesn't lie." Celeste bit her lip, trying not to moan, but her hips rocked helplessly against his hand.

So when a stupid bet with his best friend dares him to prove he feels nothing for her, ni-ki agrees without a second thought. easy, right? but the more time he spends trying to "prove" it... the harder it gets to lie - to her, to sunghoon, and especially to himself. because the only thing worse than falling for her? falling for her while she still thinks you hate her. tw // rumors. harassment. slutshaming. emotional conflict. heavy angst. strong language. nsfw scenes. messy friendships. complicated love. read with care - not everything is soft here

At just 19, Kim Yuna is already making waves as the official makeup artist for ENHYPEN. Balancing brushes, backstage chaos, and the shadows of a dangerous ex, she keeps her head down, until she meets Nishimura Riki, the group's elusive, ice-cold maknae. At 19, Riki's got fame, fans, and a reputation for being untouchable... but something about Yuna pulls him in. She's the warmth he didn't know he needed. He's the safety she never had. As tension brews offstage and her past creeps closer, Riki's quiet protectiveness turns fierce. Jealousy, stolen kisses in dressing rooms, and late-night comfort in her apartment blur every line they swore not to cross. But in a world where privacy is a luxury and danger lurks behind charming smiles, love might be the riskiest thing of all.

[Book #1 of the 'Scar to Scar' series] "Go away, I don't want to see you." Lira says with a frown, turning away from the boy. Maki catches her wrist, pulling her back towards him. Her back connects with his chest, his arms wrapping around her in a tight hug. "You can't fool me, Li, I know you don't mean it." He says softly as he buries his face in the side of her neck, Lira freezing for a second before she comes back to her senses. "It's for the best, just let me go." She practically begs as tears spring to her eyes, the girl weakly fighting against his hold. Maki only tightens his hold, unaffected by her struggling. "I'm never letting you go again, Lira."

[Book #2 of the 'Scar to Scar' series] "Nicho, please, don't go." Momo begs, both of her hands holding Nicholas' wrist. He closes his eyes, slowly pulling his arm out of her grasp. The girl catches the gentle way that he shifts out of her hold, like he was fighting to just to put distance between them. "We're from different worlds, Momo. This was never going to work." He says, his eyes no longer holding that fondness they had held just a few months ago. Momo stares at him, her vision blurring as tears fall down her cheeks. "Please.." She chokes, her own voice catching in her throat. Nicholas looks at her, his expression emotionless as he lets out a short breath. "Goodbye, Momo." He says before turning away from her, Momo's legs giving out underneath her as the door closes behind her soulmate.
