arrangemarriage martyr romance ruthless tears tired

"You're mine now, whether you like it or not."

To save her family from ruin, Eleria Flare Mercado agrees to a marriage of convenience with Théo Avelino-a cold, powerful CEO who's never forgotten the grudge he holds against her late father. She becomes his wife not for love, but for debt... and revenge.

Their marriage is anything but gentle. Trapped in a loveless mansion, Elira becomes a trophy wife by day and a ghost by night-bearing the weight of whispered threats, icy stares, and cruel silence. But behind her bruised pride and quiet tears, a fire begins to burn. Because she may have married him out of desperation, but she refuses to stay broken.

Théo thought he wanted to make her suffer. But as Eleria finds the strength to fight back-to live, to breathe, to reclaim her worth-his walls begin to crack. And hate turns to heat. Pain turns to passion.

But can love grow in a house built on vengeance? Or will their twisted beginning be the end of them both?

Marriage brought them together. Hate kept them close. But only love can set them free.All Rights Reserved

Visions of the Sea by idletowngirl

Some dreams are inherited. Others, you have to fight for. At fifteen, Thylane Puertollano seems to have it all. Gifted, graceful, and adored, she paints with the elegance of a master, dances with the poise of a prima ballerina, and is on the fast track to becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon-just like her mother the world reveres. Her life is picture-perfect, curated by legacy, discipline, and a love that has always felt unshakable. But the sea is rarely still. When a long-buried branch of her family resurfaces with secrets and ultimatums, Thylane's world begins to fracture. Whispers of an arranged marriage. A rivalry soaked in old blood. Loyalties tested, identities questioned. As pressure mounts and her once-clear path begins to blur, she feels herself slipping beneath the weight of who she's supposed to be. Then-like a tide returning to shore-he appears. A familiar face from a past she has long never forgotten. In his eyes are memories she's tried to drown, and questions her heart never stopped asking. Now Thylane must choose: Obey the legacy that is etched in her DNA-or chase the freedom calling from the waves. Play the part of the perfect granddaughter-or risk it all to reclaim her voice. Sink. Or swim. Visions of the Sea is a coming-of-age story about love, legacy, the scars of silence, and the fierce, aching journey of becoming your truest self-having the courage to choose oneself-even when the tides threaten to pull you under.
