Who would have known that doing the one thing you've always wanted to do would be so unfulfilling?
Skyler Salvitari had always wanted to be a dancer; it was her dream. She'd always thought that being a dancer would be the best thing for her, considering she'd been taking lessons since she could walk. And being accepted into Juliard (sp?) was the height of her life. But what Skyler didn't know, was that the dancing industry is filled with so much pain it wasn't even funny, add on the fact that she now lives half way across the world just made it worse.
She didn't want to do it anymore. She didn't want to be pressured like she was; she wanted out.
So .... she left.
On the night of her debut performance, Skyler Salvitari decided she was going on vacation. Not just any vacation though; a vacation home. Where was Skyler's home you ask? Why in none other than Great Britain!
The Salvitari's were known for being charismatic and strong within the higher society, but Skyler was purposefully left out of the social luncheons, and other such events. Why? Skyler and her family came to an agreement; if she were to be raised like a normal girl, not as a socialite, then she would agree to the preset arranged marriage.
But what happens when she returns home only to find that her marriage will be taking place within the next year? Not to mention the man of the marriage! Nikolai Zaytziv; CEO and Co-owner of Covanov Enterprises, never even knew the arrangement existed, much less Skyler Salvitari herself!

The Wedding Vow
Alexander stood before her, his long hair hiding part of his face. He looked devilishly handsome and her heart contracted. "About last night..." Samantha blushed but was abruptly interrupted by Alexander. "Last night was a mistake." He said curtly. Samantha stared at him. She couldn't believe her ears. "I beg your pardon?" "Last night was a mistake. We shouldn't have done it." He repeated, his face expressionless. "So think nothing of it." Samantha's eyes filled with tears as the sting of his words hurt her. How could he say that? Was she just there to while away his time? Last night was perfect for her. It was the best and he ruined it. "Get out," She said bitterly. "I am sorry Sam but we shouldn't have done it." "Don't you dare call me that and get out, damn you!" She yelled. She didn't know she had much venom in her. She watched as Alex hesitated before leaving. "No! No! No!" She chanted. How could she be so stupid? She thought what they had was the beginning of a beautiful marriage but she was wrong. She was used as a one-night fling. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Samantha Sinclair was aware of arranged marriages, knowing that her elder sister was into one. What she did not know was that it was going to be her fate as well. She was going to marry Alexander; the son of a business tycoon. He was a total stranger and they had never spoken a word to each other, yet she was going to marry him not for love or business but for the silly reason that their fathers were best of friends and wanted to keep the two families close. The marriage was going to be a disaster, they both knew it. Samantha did not know what to do with Liam; her high school sweetheart who believed she betrayed him and Alexander was worried about Scarlett, his model fiancee knowing how crazy she was. If they both went ahead with the wedding, will their vow count if they don't mean it or will it give them a chance to stay married and be with their partners??

"You're not about to carry me out in bridal style again, are you?" "Do you want me to?" He couldn't help but smirk. Her face from their date surfaced in his memories. He found it just as amusing as back then. Revenge never tasted sweeter. Would she make the same reaction right now? It was tempting but the venue wasn't the best place for it. "No!" Eve protested a little too loudly. She pressed her fingers against her mouth and scanned the premise. As she predicted, hundreds of eyes watched them. A groan escaped her lips. She buried her face on the side of his chest, inhaling his cologne. "Are you sure?" Ambryan asked, genuinely concerned now. He held her chin and raised it. His violet eyes met her hazel ones. The blush on her cheeks had magnified in saturation. He couldn't tell anymore if it came from embarrassment or the alcohol. Either way, it intrigued him on how much redder she could possibly be. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. "I'd be gentle this time." ============== Eve faced the most difficult decision in her life when an opportunity landed on her desk. And that is?

Legally Yours
"You can't be serious?" I stare at him in disbelief, blinking as I notice there isn't any sign of a lie. "Why would I marry you? I mean I see your benefits, there's nothing in it for me." "I have something you want, you know that. You're just to stubborn to realise it." He shrugs, slouching in his desk chair. "What do you have? A bad reputation?" "Money, you and I both know just how much you need it right now." He says, staring back at me but not in disbelief. He's fully serious about this. ------ Gianna Rose Rowell hasn't had the best start in life, by the looks of it, things aren't changing. She grew up poor, someone close to her is ill.

My First Love
Meet Alizah, the ultimate parent-pleaser extraordinaire! She's like the CEO of "Operation Make-Parents-Happy," always two steps ahead of what her parents need. If love was measured in mango pickles, Alizah would have made enough to last the whole neighborhood for years-because nothing makes her happier than knowing her parents are proud (and well-fed). She's not just obedient; she's the gold-standard role model for "I'll do anything for my parents," with a side of humor and a smile that says,"Challenge accepted!" Life was all smooth until one day-BAM! Her parents dropped the biggest bombshell: "We found the perfect boy for you!" Before she could say, 'Not Ready' she was already knee-deep in wedding prep, forced into a marriage she never signed up for. The boy? A soft-spoken, polite guy named Vivaan, who looks like the human version of a greeting card-nice, but completely unnecessary (in her opinion). Now, Alizah isn't one to rebel; she's the kind of girl who'd say "thank you" after getting scolded. But being obedient has *limits*-and they were crossed somewhere between picking bridal lehengas and smiling for selfies at pre-wedding shoots. In her mind, she plotted "Mission Sabotage" Unfortunately, nothing worked, because Alizah parents could win *Gold* in emotional blackmail. "Beta, we just want to see you happy," they'd say with teary eyes, making her surrender faster than a cricketer caught in an LBW. And so, Alizah steps into her new life, half in disbelief, half in acceptance-like a girl boarding the wrong train but thinking, "Well, at least the view outside might be nice in this fake world" "Some journeys begin without a destination."Whether this one leads to chaos or contentment, only time will tell. Prepare for laugh-out-loud moments, heart-tugging twists, and the sweetest mess of feelings!Complete
