In one night he lost everything. Can he find happiness? Will love lead the way? Can hard times make bonds stronger?

Excerpt:

I had woken I don't know how many hours later to feel my body being moved. I had started to flail though I knew that it would do no good but it wasn't my attacker.
"Damn it, stop it. We've got to get out of here before he finishes his coup." I opened my eyes to see my savior. Okay I thought that for all of two seconds.
"Where the hell were you? He killed my father, he... he... you were supposed to protect him." I hit him with my hand then with fists but the little strength I'd had failed and I went limp in his arms.
"You may punish me later for now I am going to take you out of here. I will not fail a second time by letting my kings only child and greatest treasure die here." He wrapped the cover I was laying on around me and lifted me. Quickly and carefully he carried me out of the castle and away from what would have been our deaths if we'd stayed.

Y/N pov: I was sitting in my room as always while my eyes were filled with tears of sorrowness after seeing my husband in the arms of other women who was laughing and enjoying themselves with him Sometimes I think what I have done to deserve this harsh treatment from my husband Blood ran cold in my veins as I hear a loud thud from the door suddenly and I opened the door His eyes fixed on my face as he begins speaking "Who do you think you're to slap Samantha?I don't remember giving you the right to slap anyone around my palace." His eyes hold no emotions as he look coldly at me "Well surely, I have right to slap one of your concubines. Afterall I'm your wife, the queen of this palace." He chuckled as he eyed me from top to bottom and then said those words which shattered my heart into million pieces and I felt like I want to turn my heart into stone at that very moment. "You're no one other than our rivals daughter and I would have never ever married you in the first place if it isn't for the palace and my people.You're nothing compared to the woman I love, the woman I wanted to have.If it wasn't due to the throne then I would have never married a woman like you." I laughed sarcastically and harshly rubbed the tears under my eyes and said "Woman like me? Who are you to say this after spending night with other women. Atleast I worked for this marriage not like you.You never ever cared about me,you only give me pain and regret.You're not even worthy to have the title of a husband,a partner and a king." His eyes pierced into me as he said "Why should I care about you when you're own parents didn't even cared about you before sending to me" He smirked as he ended His sentence "Then let's divorce and end this marriage, Jeon Jungkook" He looked at me instantly and I can feel the shock because he never thought I would said this after 3 years of our marriage. _____________________________________________________

What does it take to unlock the path of true happiness? For two complete strangers, it's as simple as a wish to escape their sham of a life. But there's a reason you should be careful what you wish for. They'll be put to the ultimate test to determine how far they're willing to go and how hard they're willing to work for the desires of their hearts. ------------------------------------------------------ Zain Lockheart has always been the prime example of "everything that glitters isn't gold". Constantly living as an outcast in the shadow of his parents' fame and riches, he never imagined there'd be more to life than living in a gilded cage. When he meets Saber Blacke at a housewarming, he discovers a kindred spirit in her. She knows all too well what it is to pretend to be content for the sake of image. All it takes is this chance meeting to send them both nosediving into an alternate reality, where a mysterious race of people are suffering the consequences of a rift-inducing war that took place over a century ago. With Saber as his closest companion, Zain quickly transforms from a burden of privilege into the key of salvation for these people and their doomed world. The goal seems simple enough to accomplish: reunite two kingdoms to restore the world to its former glory. But what he isn't counting on is a pair of intruders, watching his every move from the shadows, hellbent on unleashing chaos and destroying this paradise beyond repair forever. Only one thing is certain now: if he ever wants to return home with Saber, they must first survive the harsh trials and unforgiving wilderness of Wonderland.

I fell in love with Hansel seven years ago. I fell in love with a side of him that was sweet, caring, persistent and loving. He taught me what it felt like to be human, what it meant to love someone with all your being. And then he came: Klaus. He's declared war three years earlier than we predicted and it's forced Hansel and I to do the one thing we promised not to do: separate. We both joined the GUARDIANS in order to help, but in a desperate attempt to find where Klaus will open his portal and begin the war, Hansel gave up the one thing that was most precious to him: his memories of us. I promised him I would never give up on him, that I will help him remember. But that is coming out to be harder than I thought. The Hansel before me was an utter asshole. He was arrogant, pigheaded and sexist. He hates me for reasons unknown to me but I can't help but still love him. But it hurts to see the vacant look in his eyes. He doesn't remember me or our family and I can't tell him in fear of losing him- for good this time. He has no idea what he means to me and I'm too afraid to tell him. While he's trying to figure out why he can't remember the last seven years of his life, I'm desperately trying to get him to fall back in love with me. But I never thought it would be so hard. Alaric McQuillen. He's making things much more complicated than they have to be. He started from being a nuissance to being a nice distraction from my husband's coldness. Could I be falling out of love with my husband and falling in love with someone else? Now add the fact that we need to help prepare an entire army for a war to save mankind and you've got one fucked up month. ~*~*~ {OFFICIALLY COMPLETED!!} [Second Book to the Fervent Trilogy]
I Became The Villain's Secretary by J_axnettx_e
21 parts Ongoing Mature
After I suddenly died I possessed the body of what I thought was an extra within a novel. From then on my life was mostly calm, though not fulfilling. Until one day I discovered I wasn't just a background figure; instead I was an insignificant character who'd end up being the villainous Grand Duke's secretary, only to die shortly after being near him! But I had no choice, it was too late to change my fate, so I decided to live as obediently as possible under the orders of the sadist villain. But I still had a plan. Even before the female lead makes her appearance, I will try in every way to make the villain a little more normal, or at least ensure that the two do not meet, so that no one will face a harsh death, including me! And then, after the villain doesn't become obsessed with the female lead and becomes more normal, I will be able to resign and live peacefully. So I just cleared all the suspicions he might have about me in order to not incur his wrath and die like in the novel. * * * "I'll give you a choice." The corner of his lips raised crookedly. Though that smile did not reach his eyes at all. "One, don't resign and stay here forever..." His gaze was enough to unnerve me. "Two, let me kill those who dared to give you the idea of resigning...then don't go and stay here forever." No, haven't I already made sure that the villain has become a little more normal!? ...What the heck is going on!? He shouldn't be like this!

****Copyrighted**** 'Tell me you don't feel it.' He whispered against my lips, and the trembling that had ceased at the feel of his lips against mine began again with renewed vigor. 'Tell me it's not what you want, and I'll go. You'll never have to see me again.' Swallowing, I looked up at the eyes that had entranced me from the start. I took in his every feature, slowly and deliberately. I thrilled at the feeling of his arms enfolding me, and I inhaled his familiar scent with a trembling breath. And then, then I did the most foolish thing imaginable: I flung my arms about his neck and kissed him with all that I had, almost losing myself in the safety and security I felt. But more than that, I ran. I took his moment of shock, the slight loosing of his arms about me, and tore myself away from him, shoving out the door and into the rain. I suppose I'll never know why he didn't follow me. It was the thing I feared most. I knew that if he came for me a second time, I wouldn't be able to say 'no'. I wouldn't be able to run. But I had to. I had to go. I couldn't let him be hurt because of me. He would live on now, and I would marry another. I had leased my last bit of passion in that one moment in his arms, and as I made my way through the dark streets, I felt myself become dull and lost like the creatures bound in the menagerie. **Much of this was written when I was younger and then I came back later and finished it. There will likely be mistakes. Lots of them.

The banging starts again but this time a lot louder. I can hear the girls screaming up stairs. I pick up my phone and dial 911. "Hello this is 911 what's your emergency?" "There are a bunch of wolves outside my house. I think they have rabies or something I'm not sure." The banging gets louder and I can feel my face getting wet from the tears. "Mamm did you say wolves are there?" "Yes Yes there are wolves about 10 of them out here in my front yard. I need help!" I hang up the phone and sit on the end of the stair case. I close my eyes and start praying. Something I haven't done in a while. "I have faith, there is a god. I have faith, there is a god, I have faith, there is a god." I repeat over and over. The glass breaks and I start screaming. I stand up and try to scramble up the stairs. The door comes falling down and there are about 10 wolves standing in front of my door. A woman emerges and walks toward me. She snaps her fingers and the pretty brown wolf is in front of me. Right there by my face. "Ridanna you know what to do." Her teeth is wrapped around my neck and she sinks them in. I try to scream but it's hard to. At first it hurts but now the pain no longer exists. I feel like there is no such thing as pain and I feel light as if I can float off the Earth. Fine as hell white boy with a pro-black activist fall for each other. Cherise Miss Activist doesn't want to date Zaire the fine as hell white boy not for his race but for his secrets. What if he had a past he didn't tell you about and the only way you found out is because the past came to kill you? And I'm not talking werewolves and vampires. Cherise would only wish for problems for they would be so simple compared to hers and Zaire's. If any woman found out Zaire's secrets they'd take off running to the nearest police station or they end up in a body bag in the end. Depends....which will come first?

"I do." Smiling the fake smile I've come to perfect in the last year, I nod as I take hold of the mans hands I have to marry. My nails that I've managed to grow out as weapons digging into his palms, his eyes narrowing at me but his smile doesn't falter. "I do." Two, three years ago I would've never believed that I'd be standing here. You could've been from the future driving a flying car and I still probably not believed you. Has my life truly come to this? Marrying a sicko named Gideon King. A man that has now taken hold of his father's dangerous group, because of marrying me. Me marrying him just tripled how truly dangerous he is... "You may kiss the bride." With him leaning towards me I pressed my finger onto his lips. Causing gasps and his eyes becoming daggers as I tried not to roll my eyes. "Why ruin the sweet moment with a small kiss when it's obvious I want more? Don't want to...cause a scene." I smooth, some laughing and Gideon smirking. With him still coming towards me, his lips rested on my earlobe and his hands gripped my waist tightly. Making me wish I could knee him in the balls, but the last time I did that his crazy bodyguards almost crushed me to death. "Nice save. So you wanna be like that? Du wirst es bereuen." ( You'll regret it ) He hissed, making me wish he didn't know my language of German.
