It's a disgrace for a woman to be single at 23. Especially a woman whose disability is seen as a burden to her family. Marrying Caroline off was an easy option for them. But when soldiers come to her door to bring news of her husband's death at war, she is both horrified and excited. After years of being controlled by her parents who then forced her into marriage with an abusive man, Caroline isn't sure what to do with this new freedom. And will it truly last?

Captive{ated}
"First you captivated me... then you held me captive." Evelyn was like most college-aged girls working a part-time job when she met Caleb, who came in to her life when she wanted him least but needed him most. He captivated her. By the end of summer, she had fallen in love with him. It was then that he wanted her to meet his parents. And that's when everything changed. Caleb was not the man Evelyn thought he was. He came from a secluded village that did things much differently from the rest of society. Isolated in one of the most sparsely populated areas of the country, it was as if they live in their own little world. They were a traditional village for the most part, but there were some aspects that they did much differently than any other, especially in the ways of courtship. It didn't take long for Evelyn to realize one thing: once you were brought home to meet the parents, there was no escape.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Throne of the unwanted bride
"She was never supposed to be mine, yet now she holds the key to a heart I never knew I had." "In a world where power rules, she's the one force I can't control, but maybe, that's what I need most." "I came here to escape a life I never wanted, but now, trapped in a marriage I never chose, I'm beginning to see a side of him I never imagined." "He's a tyrant, yet in his presence, I find myself questioning everything I thought I knew about hate-and love." "She came as a prisoner, but found herself freed in the presence of a king she never understood." "A tyrant king, a forced marriage, and a love that defies everything-will hatred turn to passion, or will duty destroy them both?"
Yeah Right
Sharon works in the private wing of the local hospital. This position is very coveted because only the wealthiest of patrons use it. Many of the nurses hope, some secretly and others not so much, that they will be noticed by the wealthy and hopefully marry them. Not Sharon though, she finds most of the wealthy are incredible snobs that look down their pointy noses at the nurses and act as if they are something to be scraped off the bottom of their shoes. With one exception, Penelope Townsend. She is a true lady in every sense of the word and Sharon truly enjoys working with her. Then one day Penelope or Penny as she likes to be called asks her to sit and listen to a request. She then goes on in detail about her grandson and his plight and asks her if she would be willing to marry him. Sharon is shocked to say the least, what the other nurses pray for she wants none of, but reluctantly agrees to come in the next day to meet Penny's grandson...Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Tainted
I'm stuck. Nowhere to go, no way out. I just have to sit here and hope whoever I get sold off to is going to at least give me some freedom. Though I highly doubt it. The way things are going for me here anyway, it's not like I have any hope at surviving, let alone living. Whoever get's me is probably going to be worse than here and I can not stop it. Can I?Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Marriage first, then love
He did not love her. It was a loveless marriage to him. In his eyes, she is just a burden who cooks food for him. And in return, he will earn money and place it in her bank account. But she fell for him the moment she had laid eyes on him. It was love at first sight. She would lovingly cook him breakfast, but he would not even glance at her in the morning. In attempts to get him to glance at her, she fooled and embarrassed herself in front of him. She was close to giving up. A small part of her had hoped someday he would change the way he views her. But the fragment of hope diminishes very quickly. Little did she know that one simple action will cause everything to change. That one day he going to start feeling something for her, when her heart is broken. That he is going to start feeling something for her, with a dark past. Will she have to continue to wonder whether it will always be a loveless marriage or a new journey where they fall in love with each other together instead of one-sided love. Will he be able to love her like she loves him? A/N: Probably cliché to some people, read with caution.Tamamlanmış Hikaye
Rushwesh - Love in the shadow!
"𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐖" > "𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒔 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒅. 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒈𝒍𝒐𝒘. 𝑰𝒕 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒔... 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒅𝒐𝒘." Rushika was never meant to be his. But fate, family, and a silent obsession bound her to Dakshwesh- a man with eyes full of storms. He is not her prince charming. He is her greatest test. Cruel with his words, cold in his touch. Daksh hides his wounds behind arrogance and indifference. He listens to her silence, even if he pretends he doesn't hear her voice. > "𝑯𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍... 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆, 𝒃𝒖𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉." She hides a love she swore to bury. She bleeds and breaks, but stands tall. One day, the shadows will speak. And when they do, will it be too late for love? "𝙎𝙝𝙚 𝙘𝙧𝙤𝙨𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚, 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙝𝙚 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧 𝙙𝙧𝙚𝙬 𝙤𝙣𝙚."
The Grean Household
"It was a mistake..." She told her mother, folding her hands into each other. "Marrying him..." Her mother said nothing, she simply sat there as her only daughter stood across from her, on the verge of collapsing from bruised ribs and cracked shins. "Mom." She wanted to reach out, softly tap her aging mother. Though that was the restriction of her life. The binding stereotype that she was gentle and slow to anger. In reality, what wanted to explode from her ribs was a scream of an animal, and the tears of repressed rage and fear. She wanted to throw her body onto the floor, but the thought made her damaged body ache more. There was no response from her mother. The deafening silence reminded her of her own quietness as her husband shouted at her, his fists bloody. He told her that she was only a tool for his amusement and a money-whore for her indigent family. She was nothing else but a tool for both parties. And she was starting to believe him. --------------------- Sarah Johnsen's life spirals from the normal gritty resilient fight to a serene wonderland. On the outside, she's married to a kind family with untold riches, but on the inside, her husband is the devil himself. Forcefully married at 18, Sarah was forced to kill her own dreams of becoming a doctor in order to bind her poor family to the rich bastards of Glendale by marrying their youngest; Oliver Grean. Their arrangement had the ability to brew the largest timespan of misery any of them has ever known. From lost toddlers to paid staged kidnappings, the binding of the two families, the Johnsen's and the Grean's created a mixture of chaos, confusion, sorrow, fear, grief, and dangerous rage. And there seems to be no haven to escape to. Or is there?
