Tales Of The Wisp ~AYU INDAH
What just happened?" I ask aloud, shaking my head to dispel the fog clouding it. "Pa?" "Honey!" I called out for my husband. "Paaaa!" I shouted, my voice slicing through the stillness, desperation lacing each syllable. Silence hung in the air, a heavy blanket that muffled the echoes of mundane chores and chatter. A lingering sense of confusion settled in... Wait, where did everyone go? Helloooo! As I rose unsteadily and swept my gaze across the landscape, a chill crept up my spine. Instead of the garden I had imagined myself to be, I found an alien environment that sent my heart racing! I stood right there, shadows lingering around me, as if the world had forgotten to move on without me. A distant animal cry echoes, a reminder that nature thrives in its rawest form. Here, the world feels alive, unrestrained, and fierce. Every rustle of leaves and distant call of a creature echo the raw beauty of a wilderness, shaking me to my core. How the f*ck did I get here? I never left. I was in the same place, but somewhere in another era, at another time.. Enchantment, mysticism, and wonder all come together. Step into a world where the boundaries of the real and the imagined blur as the fabric of time and space intertwine. The Myth of Ayu Indah is about an Aboriginal beauty and her struggles to belong in ancient times; and the other, a contemporary woman who appears to have lost her enchantment while adjusting to life in the country following a recent move. Both are seeking fulfillment in life. Transported to a bygone age through a dream journey that crossed time, where the protagonist unearthed hidden truths that led to her transformative journey of self-discovery. In the end, they both realized that the capacity-the power-to uncover the enduring, awe-inspiring beauty of simply existing and being loved lies within them all along.Complete

Waking up in a world unknown, she finds herself in the body of a royal - not on a throne, but in chains. From glam to dungeon, from clinking champagne glasses to the screech of iron rails that caged her in. Her second life doesn't crown her a queen... it chains her as a prisoner.

Under The Prince of Lust's Wiles (18+) (Supernatural Romance)
*Included in @KatyDreams Wattpad's Best Romance Books (Book 2)* In a large shopping mall we went. It was three storeys high, complete with restaurants and fast-food chains. He guided me to the second floor where all of the goods I had specified to him were located. Again, stores after stores were lined up for me choose, but I decided to enter one where its window knickknacks caught my eyes. The store was named, Ann Summers. Weird things. I most certainly hadn't seen objects like these in my entire life. The shapes were weird too; circular, elongated, heart-shaped in bold neon colors. There were even objects that looked like rods and cuffs of different sizes and colorful jelly rings with studs. My brain immediately registered children's toys? However, the moment I stepped inside the store, my brain immediately scratched the word CHILDREN and replaced it with ADULT! My eyes widened as I took in every single detail that welcomed me. D*ldos, lingerie, d*ldos, collars, d*ldos, nipple clamps? - what's that? - d*ldos, vibrators! - my mouth dropped - d*ldos, and more d*ldos! EVERYWHERE!!! Just what was this store all about!? Eriol, who trailed behind me earlier, now stood right in my side. He gave a light tap on my shoulder to which I immediately jerked away. Our eyes met and I swear he looked at me with a twinkle of mischief. 'Funny, you seem to have lost your way directly into this place, Milady,' he said and gave me a freaking roguish grin! ~ + ~ I am hoping that my vacation in my Aunt's mansion is worth it. Leaving my volunteer work in Nepal abruptly is not what I wanted but there is nothing I can do, my Aunt is just too insistent. I know staying in there would be enjoyable, but I never thought that everyday would become something more... more than unbearable, and it all stems to a certain man - the head butler of the house - specifically too attentive of me.

He was loving, caring, and kind; everything a girl could ever wish for in a man. The words destructive and inhuman would've never crossed her mind to describe her husband; or was she so stupid to see it all from the very beginning? Every day she prayed to the man above that the love and attention she constantly gave him would be enough to change such characteristic; no, flaw. But it wasn't so. Every day was a battle, getting worse and worse; that one day she just snapped. ***STRONG PLOT AND LANGUAGE*** ***UPDATE*** To my great surprise, this story has been getting more reads than I ever thought possible. I reread what I wrote once again and tried not to cringe at the many errors and awful sentence structure I had. So in the spirit of Christmas I will try to edit and perfect this story. There wouldn't be changes in the plot, just hopefully a better way of sharing my thoughts. If it's still crap, then I apologize I'm only human :) ****Complete
