Avice Stepford is currently an assassin. She's been keeping her identity a secret, for a different reason besides not getting caught for her crimes. Why? She's part of the royal family... or used to be, anyway. She got sick and tired of many princes trying to charm her. She isn't that puny-minded to the extent that she doesn't realize that they have ulterior motives, for example: boosting wealth, land, claiming the throne, or boosting their reputation just to make them appear as if they mean well. Avice has always hated people who flaunted their wealth around, and worked their servants to the absolute limit. She escaped without getting caught before her 18th birthday. Why before her 18th birthday? She absolutely hated wearing dresses, huge crowds, dancing, and most of all; princes and suitors from around the globe tried to charm their way to her. The law is that each princess has to wed on their 18th birthday. She just couldn't stand that..

Promises to Keep[WATTYS15]
We all make promises. We all say that we'll keep those promises going for eternity. But, they never actually last that long. Being royal doesn't mean they're immune to the outside world. They have feelings just like anyone else. They have deaths and they have issues they need to deal with. Princess Abigail isn't any different. She lost her mum young, she feels pressured by the public to be the epitome of perfect. Her boyfriend, Klein, is trying to help her but she feels like he's adding to her pressure. And often she feels like there's no way out. When she was younger, she had an accident that's led her to live the way she does. She hates things the way they are. She just wants everything to freeze so she can bask in its glory before it's disappeared for good. Her mother, Queen Louisa, died before Abigail reached her teenage years, therefore, her mother made Abigail promise a lot of things. Some of them are quite absurd but Abigail promised them nonetheless. All she wanted was to make her mother proud. Her father, brother, grandmother, cousin, soon-to-be in-laws and her boyfriend are trying hard to get her to see sense. They just don't know if they're trying too hard or not at all. Sometimes promises are just too hard to keep. [P.s. this is not edited. I'm too busy to edit it at the moment.]Complete

False Bride [18+]
Formerly known as Not Royale enough .. Sarah Wayne has one rule: never mix business with feelings. At twenty-five, drowning in debt that isn't even hers, she's willing to do almost anything to keep herself afloat. Luckily, her job is simple. Be the perfect girlfriend. Smile for the cameras. Attend events. Play the role. No touching. No kissing. No complications. Then she receives an offer unlike any she's ever had before. Become the fake bride of a prince. The pay is enough to erase every debt hanging over her head, so saying no isn't really an option. What starts as a simple contract quickly turns into a nightmare of royal expectations, public scrutiny, and a dangerously handsome prince who seems determined to test every rule she's ever made. Christopher Knight, the infamous second prince of Gelin, has spent years avoiding responsibility. With a reputation as a playboy and no desire to settle down, marriage is the last thing he wants. But when his older brother abandons his duty to the crown, Christopher suddenly finds himself next in line for the throne-and under immense pressure to find the perfect future queen. His solution? A fake bride. He expects a business arrangement. What he doesn't expect is Sarah. She's stubborn, sharp-tongued, completely unimpressed by his title... and quickly becoming the one woman he can't stop thinking about. Now, Christopher must decide whether their marriage is just another performance- or the beginning of something real. After all, the most dangerous part of pretending to be in love is forgetting where the act ends.
Ashes
Cinderella is out for revenge on Prince Charming--the bloodier the better... Once, Elle thought being Prince Alexandre's bride was a dream come to life. That was before he gave her the scars. Before she witnessed the cruel games he plays in his dungeons. Before she tried to assassinate him for the good of the kingdom. He didn't execute her for her crime. That would have been too easy. Instead, he sent her back to live with her cruel stepfamily-as their maid. Her stepmother and stepsisters are eager accomplices in her humiliation, tossing her scraps like a dog, making her lick their floors clean. And every so often, Prince Alexandre himself pays a visit. He misses the sound of her screams too much to give her up entirely. But now he's ready to choose her replacement. He's invited every eligible maiden in the kingdom to a magnificent ball, where he will choose the most innocent of them all to break... the way he once broke Elle. But no one else knows Prince Alexandre like Elle. She knows what he wants in a bride. She knows how to make herself irresistible to him. She knows she can make him choose her. And once he does, she'll have her revenge. All she has to do is get to the ball...
The feared Crimson King
I flinch as his hand reaches to my face, and aggressively pulls down the cloak from my head. He surveys my tear stained face and jewelry all the way down to my dress. Then he speaks, "what's your name?" I open my mouth but no words come out. Fear grips me again. "I believe I asked you a question," his eyes grow darker. "Al-Alice" I whisper. His eyes wander outside to the window. "You will address me as 'your highness' and I do not tolerate mistakes. I will punish you and you will never forget to follow my orders. Do I make myself clear?" -------------------- In this world everybody has a soulmate. Two people that are meant to be together for the rest of their lives.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
