The Prophecy: Pregnant With The Cold Prince's Heir
Prophecies and arranged marriages only exist in history books, right? That's what Giselle thought. Giselle returned home confused from 3 clinics after getting the news that she's pregnant. How can a virgin get pregnant? Upon arrival, she noticed a convoy of cars parked on her street, ignoring the buzz from the neighbors; she silently walked into her home. "Mom," she called out upon finding a group of bodyguards in their house. "Come to the living room, honey; we have guests," Mrs. Ramirez said. A nervous Giselle walked further into the house; the atmosphere was abit tense. Only then did she meet face-to-face with a man she thought existed only in her dreams. "Y... you," Giselle stuttered, her mouth open in awe. He stood tall, like a piece of art; his features were pleasing to the eye. His height, physique, and eyes would make even male models envious. He was dressed in an expensive suit with a golden crown on his head. Everything about him screamed wealth and power. "Are you done staring?" he asked; his voice was deep, smooth, and confident, snapping an embarrassed Giselle back to reality. Giselle didn't reply, but the man chuckled lightly, returning to his seat. "I believe your mother already explained the whereabouts of your father," he said. "If you sign this contract and become my bride, not only will you get the chance to see your father, but you'll also be the future queen of where I come from," he added. Giselle glared at the prince, ready to reject his offer. "Your Majesty, please give her time to think about it," Mrs. Ramirez cut in. She knew her daughter quite well; she wouldn't want to force her daughter into marriage, but she also wanted to rescue her husband. And so Giselle's life complications had just begun. First, the recurring nightmares; then the unexplained pregnancy; and now a prince trying to make her his bride. Will she agree to the marriage to save her father? What will happen to the strange baby she's carrying?

While her brothers were groomed to follow the rigid codes of honor, Miyu saw opportunity in the forbidden-a chance to seize power by any means necessary. Her ascent was as swift as it was ruthless.
