A Royal Secret de LeeleeKez

Forced to trade identities with a dead woman, Chara becomes entangled in a web of deception that would no doubt cost her her very life in the end. * Chara has lived all her life as a slave. But all of that changes in a tragic accident that brings to an end the life of many, including a woman named Rose Cartridge, while sparing Chara's life. Reeling from the shock of the accident, Chara discovers that the only way to be completely free from her slavery is to take on Rose Cartridge's identity, journey to London and take Rose's place in an arranged marriage to a man who thankfully never met Rose Cartridge before her death. * In order to win an election, Jeffery Hendrix must marry, but only temporarily, for the duration of the elections. So he strikes a deal with a man, agreeing to pay off his debt in exchange for his daughter's hand in marriage. But as the days progress and his feelings for the mysterious Rose Cartridge progresses along with them, Jeffery soon finds that his heart is not the only thing he stands to lose to Rose... ...he stands to lose her completely.

Believing in Miracles [COMPLETE] de vacissitude

In the beginning she was alive, her soul bare for this man, loved him with every fiber of her being. She was willing to give up everything that she had for him and worked hard for the future they both hoped for each other; when he still existed. She loved him but did he ever feel the same way? 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 :) ****
