She was supposed to hate him.
He was never meant to want her.
When Ophelia enters the world of ruthless power games and blood-stained secrets, she expects monsters. What she doesn't expect is him-the man everyone fears. Cold. Cruel. Devastatingly seductive. A villain cloaked in charm and danger, who sees her not as an innocent bystander, but a pawn in his wicked game.
But Ophelia isn't as fragile as she seems-and with every stolen glance, every dangerous touch, the line between enemy and obsession blurs. He breaks her rules. She shatters his control. And in the shadows of betrayal and revenge, something darker blooms: desire.
As secrets unravel and loyalties twist, Ophelia finds herself spiraling into a world where love is war, pain is pleasure, and surrender might just be the most dangerous choice of all.
In this dark and twisted romance, nothing is black and white-only red.

The Villainous Prince Is Obsessed With Me
"I only wanted to watch the story unfold... not become part of it." One morning, I awoke not as myself, but as a minor side character in my favorite novel-the quiet daughter of a Count destined to fade into the background. My plan was simple: stay out of trouble and enjoy the view as the heroine and her destined lover blossomed before my eyes. But fate had other ideas. The cold, dangerous Crown Prince-the very villain fated to bring chaos-set his sights on me. Now, instead of peacefully watching the love story I once adored, I find myself trapped in a dangerous game of obsession, desire, and a future that was never written in the book.Complete
ALWAYS HIS
"Always His" She was the secret he married. The wife he ignored. The storm he couldn't contain. Eight years ago, Ophelia went from an orphaned London girl to the hidden bride of America's most powerful and untouchable billionaire, Regal Ariti. Forced into a marriage neither of them wanted, she was abandoned, silenced, and pushed into the shadows, until she clawed her way back into his life. Beautiful, sharp-tongued, and impossible to control, Ophelia makes a quiet storm out of the cold palace Regal built for himself. Now, she's no longer the quiet girl waiting in the background. What begins as cold, calculated tolerance turns into obsession. And what should have broken them-infidelity, secrets, betrayal only makes their bond dangerously unshakable. But Ophelia's not the only one with something to prove. His family wants her gone. Her lover wants her back. And Regal... wants her on her knees and by his side, forever. Laced with twisted power games, seduction, and raw emotion, Always His is a dark billionaire romance where secrets become weapons, loyalty is tested, and love comes dressed in control.Complete![[Volume 2: Ein Sinclair] The Clueless Prince](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/396645279-256-k700594.jpg)

A/N: ANY OFFERS FOR COMIC OR ANYTHING WILL BE DENIED AND DELETED. I'm not interested. ***SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED VOLUME 1!!!*** The veiled woman gently stroked the magic ball and peered at it. I couldn't see anything on its cloudy surface and nervously waited for her to speak. "Ah I see it... there's conflict, a passionate kiss, and a deadly battle hard fought in the near future." I nearly shot up from the seat in the fortune telling booth with excitement. "Seriously? Wow, Ophelia sure has her work cut out for her." The fortune teller paused before raising an eyebrow underneath her thin veil. "This is your future." "...Pardon?" -- The future has never looked dimmer but at least I didn't have to worry about being stabbed to death anytime soon. Trying to adjust to my new everyday life, I'm thrust into a situation where I'm given a rank far above my capabilities. Now forced into the spotlight and gaining the attention of the flirty Third Ranker, and the sadistically dangerous First Ranker; I'm exhausted before the second year's even truly begun. With a new term, new dangers and secrets emerge. And trying to stay uninvolved while being a cheerleader for the heroine continues to backfire. Well... at least I've got a nice place all to myself. As if to mock me, the doorbell rings and my face darkens. Unfortunately, it came with having to deal with troublesome characters who couldn't leave me alone. Hey, I already clocked out!
