Until King James told her just what he had in mind for her. Emery was to marry the Count of Dubois. A savage, unkind man that was only known for the rumors about him. He had never taken a wife, and Emery could certainly see why. Glum, and groomed Emery goes uncertainly to her dismal fate.

At least, that's how he thought until he met the raven haired, golden skinned, beauty destined to be his wife. Angry, and aroused Kane goes with uncertainly to his not so dismal future.All Rights Reserved

The Billionaire's Bargain by diamondstone22

The world was never fair, but wealth had its way of tilting the scales. James heir to a global empire, knew this better than anyone. From the outside, his life was a perfect mosaic of power, luxury, and control. But behind the towering glass walls of his empire, he was a man shackled by obligations. His family's legacy was at stake, and their solution? An arranged marriage. Elizabeth never imagined her life would take such a sharp turn. She was content with her quiet dreams and ordinary struggles-until a deal brokered by their families brought her face-to-face with a man who epitomized everything she resented about the rich. She didn't belong in his world, and he didn't care to understand hers. The marriage was a contract, a business transaction. No love, no emotions-just terms and conditions binding two strangers. But what neither of them anticipated was the undeniable pull of their shared loneliness, the sparks ignited by their clashes, and the fragile moments that began to unravel the walls they had both so carefully built. Two lives, two worlds, and one marriage. Could something so carefully orchestrated ever lead to something real?

Ruining Sofia by SinfulGuilt

"How could you?" Sofia looked at her husband Hector. "You are overreacting. It's just above you." "I am telling you that a man was... inappropriate to me...he said he wanted to..." Sofia's voice was shaking. "We are all adults here. He has taken a liking to you. Consider yourself lucky. You have no idea where this man can get us. To where this connection can get us..." "I am your wife." Sofia scoffed. "And, I am consenting to this." Hector cut her off. "Hector, don't!" Sofia tried to shut him up, but Hector continued. "It doesn't change anything. Make him happy. He won't be wanting it all the time. He had hundreds of women for him. This will all be over in a month or two. But you can be good friends in the future, and he can be kind to you. And, us! Think where his connections can get us." At first, if Antonio's behavior in the past seemed a problem, now adding her husband's ideas about all this worried Sofia more. It seems the very man she expected to protect her from a predator was ready to throw her to that animal. Sofia recalled how Antonio had always tried to be a gentleman. But there was nothing gentle about his intentions. Only his eyes and direct approach with his words were enough to tell Sofia about it. She could still recall the day when he had told her. "You will warm my bed one day. And, your husband will drive you here that day." At that time, she slapped him, but now it seems he had won. Sofia gulped, looking at Hector. Her Hector couldn't be this blind. It wasn't that simple. She could tell that Antonio had spent a great deal of time brainwashing her husband. Sofia rubbed her cheeks and told her husband off while walking away. "This isn't happening. Not today. Not ever." Sofia accepts a gift card from her neighbor for a spa day. The most mundane day gets her in the way of an obsessive trillionaire, who has only one agenda. If you can't have it, ruin it.

This is a fanfiction of the After Series about Emery Scott, Tessa's and Hardin's daughter. I have changed some of the fact than the last book left but tried to include as many similarities as possible. Hope you will enjoy this teenage drama about modern forbidden love. Emery has lived in the shadow of being a daughter of a best-selling author. Her best friend is her cousin Addelyn Rose who also is her classmate at the New York Elite Private School, a private school known to students with wealthy and famous parents. When Emery finally persuaded her stubborn father to go on a school trip to Washington, a journey she would never forget. She meets the kind hearted but dark Kian Evans who seems to have searched his way into her heart. Emery seems to have been born with her father's bad luck and love is not as easy as it is claimed in books. For two weeks she has to deal with blood, sweat and tears for the sake of love. Sexual acts and bad language arise in the story. I am Swedish so if the grammar does not match then I apologize in advance, lol.

May by lluvsunii

He smirked, green eyes glinting with cruel amusement. I loathed him. God, who did he think he was? "Of course, my lord. If that pleases you." I forced a smile, hiding the fire I felt rising within me. ••• "I cannot have you, Sofia May. I am wrong for you," he confessed, his voice low, restrained, yet trembling just enough that I knew the truth lay beneath. "No. No, you are just right for me," I whispered. "I believe that. Don't you?" "I... I do," he admitted, each word a struggle, his eyes betraying the turmoil he refused to name. {Mature
