ballroom daughter duke engagement friendship gentleman handsome historical jealousy lady lord love marquis mother proposal rejection rich shortstory soirée waltz

"Will you be my wife?" The marquess stretched those words in no time, his eyes full of hope.

Riel gave him a smile. "I'd have to decline again, my lord." She too, had wasted no time. Not his, and most certainly not hers.

"Will you really not reconsider my offer?" The gentleman had asked, laced with disappointment. 

She did. Several times over. In fact, the first time he popped the question, she had almost worn the ring herself. A prominent member of the nobility had asked her to wed him, how could she refuse?

An advantageous marriage, gaining everything a lady would want to. And he was handsome too.

But she'd lose herself. Her own self, that she had never begun to discover.All Rights Reserved

Completed editing process #26 on May 17, 2020 "Are you prepared to meet him?" My brother smiled mischievously and said, "Now what was it?" My brother wanted me to accept what kind of man? As I finished my pancakes and carried the dishes to the sink to clean up, I said, "Yeah, I am ready," still feeling nervous about what was happening with this enigmatic guy. "She has agreed to meet you, but you will face the consequences if you ever hurt her," he said in a smooth voice after taking out his phone and dialing a number. Even though he had already agreed, I simply raised an eyebrow at him as my eyes widened at his protective demeanor. **** A charming story of halal love. A prosperous businessman and a typical affluent girl, after fulfilling half of their religious duties. Is money a constant? Hatred? Do you feel envious? Would you dare? Join them on their journey and see how they overcome challenges together, forgive and forget, love, and many other twists and turns despite coming from different worlds. I'm hoping they can teach us a lot! Enjoy your reading. The tale of Yumna and Ahad.

Submitting To Her Scottish Lord✅ by PearlOjo

She should just lean in and kiss him that could do the trick. She could feel his arousal press into her from where he had lifted her onto the wall. He wanted her but why was he so damn stubborn. Her breath caught in her throat as he leaned dangerously close to her face. She had had her fair share of experiences with men before but didn't understand why this man made her blush. His brown hair that always looked ruffled like he just got out of bed tempted her to run her hands through it and his full pink lips moved ever so graciously as he spoke. "I promise you dear Lady Wife." The words sounding more endearing with his lilt, "When I finally grant you your request, I'll leave you sore and bedridden for many days to come." At that he dropped her onto wobbly feet without so much as a glance at her.

Business Deal Between Mr And Mrs Billionaire by Odulesi-Blessing

All she wants is love. The last thing he wants is love. Drix Grayson is a twenty eight year old CEO of one of the biggest companies in the world. After what happened to his father, the last thing he wants is a relationship, he only works. Reil Sincol is a twenty-six year old daughter of a billionaire. All she cares about is to date. But she finds herself having to hold responsibilities when she becomes the CEO of one of her dad's five companies. - The sound of heels filled the silence. He turned to see a figure walking opposite his direction, nearing him. As he stared at her, he couldn't help being awed by her beauty. She was a vision of icy elegance, her porcelain skin and black hair a striking contrast. Her piercing emerald eyes seemed to gleam with a frosty intensity, as if daring anyone to get close. Her slender figure was clad in black, accentuating her sharp curves and commanding presence. She didn't seem to notice him admiring her beauty at first. Her gaze jerked to his and she held it. He had been caught unexpectedly so he had no idea what to do, if to look away or not which he did not. She stopped in her steps. Her full lips curled into a sly smile, as she started towards him. He was confuzzled at why she was heading towards him, so he decided to just continue walking and ignore her. She reached for his hand before he could walk further from her. "Hey handsome, I don't think it'd be nice to walk away like that." Her voice possessed seductiveness. He stared down at her hands then back to her face. "Let go." She complied, her lips pulled to a smirk as she stood too close in front of him. She was obviously not that tall, but her heels were like a billion feet long, it made her at almost eye-level with him. "You're hot." She placed her right fingers on his shoulder, tracing it down to his wrist. - Would Drix be able to resist the charm of a female like Reil after finding himself intrigued by her, enough to make him offer to work with her?

The princess was running fast through the pouring rain trying to get away from him. Her muscles ached but she continued. She looked back thinking she had lost him until she bumped into something. It was him. They stood there, just staring at each other. The princess could tell the prince was injured because he stumbled toward her. He dropped his sword, "wha- what are you doing *prince name*?" he gave a slight smirk but also winced in pain. "You win princess, you were always going to". She stood there trying to process the words that he just spoke and what had just happened. "You heard me princess, now's your chance to finally end it all." The princess got her dagger and aimed it at his heart, he stood there, accepting his fate. "I love you *princess name*, my princess" as he said those words... guess you'll have to read to find out 😉 (sorry if the chapters are short, I wrote them all in google docs so each part is one full page on google docs. "The Plan" is very short because it's only half a page.) currently editing/working on making the chapters longer ^

The Subtle Art of Love and War by rollenjoy03

COMPLETED. MATURE CONTENT. ______________________________________ Stubborn heiress to the Langford fortune has been arranged to be wed to the powerful heir of the Fiennes fortune. Two extremely rich and powerful houses set to be united as one in marriage in six months time. Josephine Langford is as stubborn as a bull and no one can make her change her mind about something she doesn't believe herself, so when her parents told her about being betrothed to another powerful family's heir, she throws a fit and demands that the arrangement be called off. Her parents' refusal to cancel the wedding forces her to take extreme measures. She knows this marriage isn't about love but all about fortifying their family's wealth. She detested this part of her charmed life. Somehow, she needs to find a way to put an end to this medieval arrangement between the Langfords and the Fiennes. She's an extremely private person and with the help of their family's wealth and connections, barely any picture of her and her identity has ever landed in the internet and publications. This gives her the idea to get the full dirt on this Hero Fiennes-Tiffin she is set to marry without him knowing that he is actually put under a microscope. As far as her research goes, the guy is nothing but a ruthless tycoon by day and a complete player by night but she isn't one to judge a person by what the internet or newspapers and magazines say-those can easily be fabricated-whereas if she gets to see firsthand who this guy really is and what possible proofs she can gather to convince her parents to cancel the engagement, it would be the best and really the only option she has. Two months. She has two months to get to know the guy before their wedding is announced to the whole world. Two months of pretension and deception. Two months and she'll finally be free of this madness.
