!!!THIS IS NOT A COPY OF THE SAME STORY
     THE AUTHOR IS ONE AND THE SAME!!!



They promised me a title I don't want, in a world I want to escape from.

The Continent of the Gods, they call it. They came and left hundreds of years ago and we still worship them. But we don't mean it.

If we did, then following the only rule imposed on us should be easy: Fairies and Humans should coexist. It was violated 200 years ago, but we like to keep pretence.

How was it supposed to be followed? Fairy monarchs marry humans.

Here comes my part. As a human in this Godforsaken mainland, I was asked to marry the king of Achelous. Why me? That's what I've asked too. It seems that by marrying me, my family will be benefited, and a promise made by my mother to the queen before I was even born, tied my life to the castle. But there's something more they don't want to divulge. 

Of course,I have my own reasons to accept the proposal. Going to the castle will help me in gathering most wanted information.

But while doing that, I'll have to play a role: the gullible future fiancé of the king. Why future? Because I have conditions; we're going to know each other first. Courting, I think they call it. I just hope that while learning about my "future husband", I'll be able to keep my heart intact.

And my mind. Because in a castle full of intricate webs of secrets and lies, dangers lurk from hidden corners. Sometimes, it gets hard telling a friend from foe. The shadows within me may not be strong enough to keep the monsters at bay. I'll have to buy my time.

And when I get what I want, I'm going to run. Just like that!

THE WIFE,THE MOTHER,THE PRISONER BOOK 1 by shirathashlash
87 parts Ongoing
She thought she was free. Until a billionaire and his daughter saw her - and decided she was theirs. One wanted a wife. The other wanted a mother. Neither asked if she agreed. They watched her for two years. Followed her every move. Until one day, they flew across the world and bought her future - with smiles, paperwork, and charm that smelled like roses but felt like chains. Now, she sleeps in silk sheets she didn't choose. Wears clothes she didn't buy. Answers to a name she didn't earn. Every touch is a test. Every night is a transaction. And every whispered "I love you" is a warning. She hides pills beneath her tongue. She dreams of running. But there is no escape - only a cage made of wealth, obsession, and unbearable intimacy. Because he doesn't just want her body. He wants her compliance. Her mind. Her loyalty. Her womb. And when the daughter discovers the truth - she doesn't cry. She accuses. Now the doors are locked. The smiles are gone. And the only thing more terrifying than being watched... is being needed. This isn't love. This is possession with a wedding ring. This is family, twisted into obsession. This is what happens when a girl becomes the answer to someone else's madness. ---

BOOK ONE: Having enough courage to run through the woods and away from the people who convinced me they were saving me was not how I believed I'd spend my day. Yet, there I went escaping from the only place I knew existed in the world. Being held captive was too much for me, especially when these people wouldn't tell me who they were or even who I was. The first moment in my life I recall very clearly. I awoke in a dark room, with recollection of everything that happened in the world except for one thing. I had no memory of myself existing, I didn't know where I was or why these men kept me from leaving. Days after I first woke I asked plenty of questions, and yet none of them were answered. The only thing I learned was that I was not allowed outside because the woods heald the most powerful magic on the planet, the most dangerous magic. It was more than just bad men and curiosity about the forest that got me to leave, it was a pull towards something; towards magic. Once I was in the forest turning back was never an option, so I put it in my head that I'd keep walking until I found a civilization or a nice paved road that would lead to safety. But that never happened because the forest has a force living through it. Believing that the forest held something strange was the easy part but experiencing it myself was something totally different. I didn't expect anything normal but I didn't expect to be completly engulfed into the forest. I was led by an unknown presence that made me truly believe it was a living being, and in fact it is. I was innocent then, but now I know that anything can be hidden under a small platform in the woods with a secret bigger than the world itself. I was given life that day, until it all ended months later; the day I took my last breath.
