Afraid of human contact, renowned ballerina Akhyra Morel is the epitome of grace on stage, but offstage, her icy demeanor keeps everyone at arm's length. When a media scandal jeopardizes her career, Akhyra reluctantly becomes entwined with Lucian Moreno, a rising star of the national Haitian football team.

Lucian, suspended from the quarter-finals of the Gold Cup competition due to a foolish bar fight, finds himself stuck chauffeuring around his coach's spoiled daughter. Initially resentful and at odds, Akhyra and Lucian must learn to cooperate. As Akhyra takes a hiatus away from the attention of the press, she is confronted with a reluctant guardian who would rather be on the football field than playing chauffeur.

In this delicate dance of vulnerability and strength, Akhyra and Lucian navigate a journey from isolation to connection. Will the fiery clash of their worlds lead to a new pas de deux, or will the shadows of their pasts keep them forever entwined in a dance of solitude?

The Caretaker He Bought by puffy_1304

"You're not here to fall in love." "Trust me, sir... I don't even know what that means." She was sold like a possession-traded away by the very people who were supposed to protect her. At just seventeen, she finds herself in a cold, unfamiliar mansion owned by a powerful man known for his silence, strict rules, and a heartbreak he never talks about. His only condition? Take care of his one-year-old daughter. Don't speak unless spoken to. Don't enter his study. Never touch him. For her, following orders is nothing new. Obedience has kept her alive this long. But the baby's soft cries break something inside her, and her tender touch begins to warm a house that forgot what love felt like. He tells himself she's just a caretaker. Just a temporary solution. But night after night, she shatters rule after rule... And soon, his heart becomes the final one to break. 🎯 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐫𝐞 Genre: Romance / Drama / Slow Burn / Hurt-Comfort Age rating: 16+ (emotional abuse themes, mature emotional content)

Having known the king since childhood, this should've been an easy task for the captain of the royal guard. But will the growing threat of the Akumas -a magic-wielding group they'd both cut ties with- make it impossible? Or could this be what reunites the royal family, and, perhaps, reveal buried feelings? Though surely in this society, a knight could never love her king.
