Onebedtroupe Stories

For twenty-seven years, Theodore Laurent has lived by one rule: Control everything. Control his company. Control his reputation. Control his future. Then his family arranges his marriage to a woman he's met exactly once. Celeste Hayes. The daughter of his family's biggest rival. The woman who challenges him at every turn. The woman who refuses to be controlled. The marriage is supposed to be temporary. A strategic alliance. A business decision. Nothing more. Unfortunately, nobody warned them that sharing a name is much easier than sharing a life. Forced to live together under the same roof, Theodore and Celeste find themselves trapped between family expectations, corporate warfare, and a growing attraction neither of them wants to acknowledge. Unfortunately, nobody accounted for shared penthouses, endless arguments, family expectations, corporate warfare, and a husband who seemed determined to become the single greatest inconvenience in Celeste Hayes's life. Or the fact that Theodore Laurent, a man known for his discipline, control, and complete disregard for nicknames, had somehow decided that calling her Cele was non-negotiable. Theodore Laurent never bends the rules. Celeste Hayes never lets people in. Yet somehow, against all reason, they become each other's exception. In a marriage built on obligation, the most dangerous thing wasn't learning how to live together. It was learning how to let go. Because falling in love was never part of the contract. And some promises are far more dangerous than breaking them. "I hate nicknames." "I've noticed." "Then stop calling me Cele." Theodore didn't even look up from his paperwork. "No." Celeste stared at him. "You are genuinely insufferable." "So I've been told.....repeatedly." he continued, "By you, mostly." ✧ Forced Marriage ✧ Enemies to Lovers ✧ Forced Proximity ✧ One Bed ✧ Slow Burn ✧ Corporate Rival Families ✧ He Falls First ✧ "Who gave you permission to call me that?"

❛❛A raging sea trapped inside a raindrop.❞ *** When love and ruin collide, what remains is a storm that refuses to quiet. Like the Rain follows Kim Taehyung and Jung Iseul through fractured feelings, regretful secrets, and a past that will not stop bleeding into the present. Iseul arrives in Paris to escape a life chosen for her, fleeing a marriage she never wanted and searching for freedom among strangers. But fate has its own designs. In the same hotel, the same city, the same storm she thought she had escapedーshe meets Kim Taehyung. His name lingers in her mind like déjà vu, his presence both unsettling and magnetic, as if the past she buried has found a way to stand before her once more. What follows is not war, but something quieter and more devastating: betrayal remembered, friendship tested, laughter carrying the weight of regret. Through cities lit with wine and ruin, through nights blurred between tenderness and distance, Iseul and Taehyung are caught between what was lost and what might be rebuilt. A tale of trust splintered, of love aching through absence and return, of two souls who cannot decide if life is cruelーor if it is kind. 🌧️🌧️🌧️ ❥Romance, Comedy, Taehyung×Female OC ❥Copyrighted by © Nefelibata's World ❥Cover & Banner by @Moon_Sugarlips07
