Mature

Set immediately after the events in Souja.
Duchess Contessina DeBaringer has been betrothed since infancy to the last man in the world she wants to marry. However- a year before the wedding to him and squeezing herself into the wedding dress, she comes under agonizing pain and faints.
Upon examination- she is diagnosed with incurable cancer and side sickness and given only months left to live.  Two days after the diagnosis- an offer comes in for his second daughter Millicent's hand in marraige that is too good to pass up and her father accepts immediately. 
However the offer is from a Baron Thaddius Salgria- of Salgria Shipping for his eldest son- Kragan. Who has spent his whole life on ships, either seaships or skyships. And Kragan is a natural sailor, when he's not designing, commissioning and building the ships himself. 
And for Millicent- the insult to the injury is that Kragan and his family are orcs. Millicent is furious with the match and outright refuses.
So Contessina suggests that her father switch the marraige matches between herself and her sister. And to keep the news of her condition a secret- lest it be known and the family honor be ruined. Contessina and her father hatch a plan to pull it off. The doctors give her betrothed a fake but secret dianosis of being an horse riding accident and that she is now barren in order for herself to be released from the betrothal, which works. And the same lie about the horse riding accident is enough to ward off suspicion as to why she is taking medication to mask the symptoms of her real fatal illness to the Salgrias. 
But upon meeting her new groom- Contessina realizes that he is her love match and everything she never knew she always wanted and needed. 
So will she be able to keep her deadly secret to herself long enough to save her family from ruination- and more importantly- save Kragan from ruination too?All Rights Reserved

BLACKBiiRDS by kenn12

"I call this one pain. And this lil one right here under his wing is suffering." "No offense, but...who the hell would wanna be reminded of pain and Suffering? If I was going to get something etched into my skin forever, I'd want something that would bring me joy." His grin bemused her. As if he expected her to contradict his moral logic. "True that, shorty. And I agree, no doubt. But who's to say my birds don't bring me joy?" Dumbfounded, Jett lifted her eyes from the silhouetted birds up to meet his tender gaze, stumped on how to answer his question. She shrugged with one arm, "Do they?" * * * Jett Jaletta has enough of her own problems. Unreliable family members that depend on her for everything, too many bills with not enough income. And a federal probation sentence that's held her hostage for the past three years. The last thing she needs is the drama that comes along with a handsome face, drama that could jeopardize everything she's working for - a liberating dance career. But Roman Carter isn't liable for the damage caused by his blessed good genes. As a matter of fact, his alluring appearance and its effect on the opposite sex is the furthest on his list of priorities. The recent murder of his only brother has left him unfocused, indignant, and irrevocably heartbroken. Well, he is focused on one thing...retribution. BlackBiirds is the intertwining story of two characters-who's deepest pains and struggles happen to be caused by the other person. Ironically, surrounding situations, dangerous rivals, and even their own family members cause these two to become tangled in ways they can't escape from. * * * BLACKBiiRDS is the rewritten, reworked 2.0 version of its former draft: Souled Out.

Second Chances by _LunaraLy_Amore_

Lunoera Dragomir, the only daughter of a once-powerful family with vast lands and a prestigious winery, fell in love with and married Don Angnas, a vassal of the Angenas family. Initially happy, their marriage soured after her father and the family knights were summoned to deal with bandits but mysteriously disappeared. During this time, Don manipulated Lunoera, isolating her from the world. Left alone and imprisoned in her own home, she suffered years of mistreatment at the hands of Don and his mother, with only a young slave named Sophie as her companion. Eventually, Lunoera was forced to serve as a spy for the Lombardi family monitoring the health of the elder Lombardi and where she formed a deep bond with Florentia, who became her escape from her painful reality. One day, Florentia said something that would forever change Lunoera's life "If I had a relationship with my mother, I imagine it would be like the one we have." Her smile reminded her of what she has lost but also of what she had gained. She vowed to protect the ones that she hold dear as well as the rest of her people just as her father once taught her.

If only she realised how intertwined her life and the Lombardis will be. And how her once pain filled heart was filled with love once more. *** I besides my own character I do not own anything that is directly related to the manwha itself*** This fanfic will also contain mature content and I do plan on shifting the narrative of the story as it progresses. But I will still use a few of the original plot, scenes of "I'll be the matriarch in this life" manwha. I REPEAT THIS IS A FANFICTION OTHER THAN MY OWN OC AND HER STORY LINE I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING ELSE.

The Jack of Souls (Multi-award winner!) by StephenMerlino

************************************************************************************** An outcast rogue must break a curse put on his fate, or die on his nineteenth birthday. To survive, he'll need the sword of a maiden, the aid of an immortal, and the power of forbidden magic that could cost him the only girl he ever loved. ************************************************************************************ *** THE JACK OF SOULS won a Silver IPPY this year! *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the PNWA Competition in Fantasy! * *** THE JACK OF SOULS won 1st place in the Southwest Writers competition! * *** A "Featured Book" on Wattpad! * *** Now a "Staff Pick" on Kickstarter! * *** Available on Amazon in paper, hardback, and ebook ! * *** My contract with Kindle Select won't allow me to post more than 3 chapters here, but... *** Sign up for my newsletter on stephenmerlino.com for alerts when it's free on Amazon! * MY INSPIRATION I wrote this out of pure love of trickster rogues; I love the wit over brawn motif -- Odysseus over Achilles, Raven over Eagle -- so I like to play with it in my stories. In JOS I set the rogue and con-artist Harric against a foil of warriors in a land threatened by magic and civil war. Whenever possible I turn familiar tropes on their heads: instead of a handsome young Lancelot, I cast a broken-down ex-champion addicted to pain-killing herbs; instead of a dashing Squire Brian, the old knight reluctantly takes an ambitious young woman as squire. Similarly, I re-imagine the standard medieval milieu by infusing aspects of two of my favorite historical periods, Elizabethan England, and The American Frontier. Both eras boast a kind of nationalistic arrogance that borders on hubris, and a magnificent spirit of resourcefulness and re-invention that is fun to play with. SERIES The Jack of Souls is first in a series. I am posting parts of the sequel here now (The Knave of Souls), to help me refine the story.

WILL BE REWRITTEN SOON** Copyright © November 2014 All Rights Reserved She thought it would be a terrific idea to tell him the news as a wedding surprise. That morning at The Plaza, her mom's advice was to break the news first. As she made her way to the groom's room to tell him the news, she was left utterly shattered and he was caught red-handed. The man decides to have a little affair of his own just before their union. She was clueless of how long he had been at it- but one thing was crystal clear- she was evacuating. Far away from her now ex-husband-to-be. Of course she wasn't alone- within her was possibly a new life and beginning with the bastard left at fault. Will he come searching for her? What happens when years pass and still no sign of her? Five years is a long time but not enough to heal, people change and new paths lie ahead of them. What if they weren't meant to be standing at the alter in the end? Maybe this story was not supposed to have a happy-ending. Started: 06.11.2014 Ended: 18.02.2019
