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.

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

Ortigas nights, fluorescent mornings, and a man who smells faintly of machine oil and evening traffic. Lila arrived at the corporate tower knowing how to be seen - tasteful heels on Emerald Avenue, coffee runs past Robinsons, an easy smile for the security guard at the lobby. Ethan, a production man ferried between the Laguna plant and the HQ, is steady, guarded, and married - the kind of constancy that makes temptation feel illicit and irresistible. When late meetings spill into Ortigas Avenue, and the company shuttle grows quiet, a brush of fingers, a held gaze, and a stolen conversation become the first of countless transgressions. Lila's pursuit is deliberate, sensual, and hungry; his readiness is complicated, urgent, and inevitable. Their closeness-riding between tower and plant, under the glow of streetlights and traffic signals-ignites a private heat that both promises joy and threatens ruin. Steamy, intimate, and charged with longing, this tale follows desire's pull through boardroom politics and factory floors, where every missed stop and whispered confession raises the stakes. Passion asks for everything; are they ready to pay the cost?
