A contract. A betrothal. A battle of wills. Elias Laurent has spent his entire life planning for success. As a natural leader and a perfectionist, he refuses to let anything-or anyone-disrupt his carefully structured future. So when his parents drop the bombshell that he has been secretly betrothed since childhood, he does what any logical person would do: he drafts a contract. Lirienne Kaestner, on the other hand, couldn't care less. As long as no one forces her into anything, she's happy to go with the flow. If Elias wants to play executive fiancé, fine. If their parents expect them to act like a couple, whatever. If Elias thinks he can manage her, though? He has another thing coming. Because let's be real, none of this should've worked, and yet... here we are. --- I don't think this is a novel; but it has a story...so... A slow-burn, enemies-to-lovers romcom filled with power struggles, reluctant affection, and a very smug cat.

His gaze burned into mine, and I sensed the struggle within him to maintain control. His eyes, like dark pools, drew me in, and I felt myself drowning in their depths. My breath caught as his gaze lingered on my face, and I knew he was fighting the urge to reach for me. My own desire rose to meet his, and for a moment, we simply stood there, our hearts pounding in unison. Then, with a visible effort, he tore his eyes away, his voice low and husky as he spoke. "We should go inside." The words were a thin veil over the raw passion that threatened to consume us both. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized how close we were to surrendering to our desires.

Now after so many years, they're both back. And in my desperation to feel loved, to be wanted and chosen I've walked straight into this trap. All because I forgot life's harshest lesson... I'm not enough. No matter how much or how fiercely I love, the choice will never be me. Especially now. Surrounded by danger and at the mercy of my husband's enemies, I'm forced to face one final bit of truth. Much like love, hope is for the weak. I was a fool to believe in the vows and promises they made.
"the way back to us" by xoxoluvwrites
8 parts Ongoing
They met as kids-classmates until the fourth grade-where he had a quiet crush on her before she transferred schools. Years later, fate brought them back together in high school. What started as friendship quickly turned into something deeper, and for four years, they were inseparable. They had plans, dreams, and a love that felt unshakable. Until the day she broke up with him and disappeared from his life without a single explanation. Years passed, but the unanswered questions never left him. Neither did the feelings. He tried to move on, to forget, but no one ever came close to being what she was to him. And just when he thought he'd finally buried the past, she came back-this time, as his fiancée in a marriage neither of them chose. She tells herself it's just duty. He tells himself he's over it. But the past lingers between them, unspoken and unresolved. The tension simmers, the familiarity remains, and despite everything, so does the pull between them. He fell first. And even after all these years, he never truly stopped. She thought walking away once was hard-she never imagined falling again would be even harder.
