Victoria Rothwell has never made a single decision for herself. Every choice-what she wears, who she speaks to, how she smiles-has been dictated by her mother's infamous Rule Book, a thick leather binder that is updated annually like a corporate handbook.

The rules are drilled into her daily:
	•	Rule #1: A Rothwell daughter is a reflection of her parents, not herself.
	•	Rule #19: A woman's worth is determined by her ability to elevate a man.
	•	Rule #33: Love is a liability. Marry for power, stay for appearances.

So when her parents announce her engagement to Eli Harrington, heir to a vast tech empire, Victoria accepts it silently. It's just another rule: "Rule #50: A Rothwell does not refuse a marriage that benefits the family."

But Eli is nothing like the men her parents have groomed her to impress. Plus Eli is never far from His friends Troy, Gavin, and Luca.

His Game, Her Heart by Lunabie01
32 parts Ongoing Mature
Christina sat in the front row, her heart tearing apart as she watched the man she loved - the man who promised her forever - stand at the altar with another woman. Every word of the vows, every whisper of congratulations, sliced through her like glass. But what no one in that church knew was that this wasn't love - it was strategy. Augustus had built empires from power, controlled markets with a single glance, and now he wanted to control the only thing that ever made him weak - her. To the world, he was a ruthless businessman marrying the perfect bride his family chose. To Christina, he was the man who came home every night - loving her, touching her, worshiping her like a sin he refused to confess. She didn't know that behind his gentle words lay a mind that calculated her every move. He had slowly isolated her, turned her world silent, and made her dependent on the love that was breaking her. When he switched her birth control pills with vitamins, it wasn't an accident - it was his final move in a game she never agreed to play. But when Christina discovers the truth, she runs - far, pregnant, and heartbroken. For the first time, Augustus loses control. Two months later, he finds her again. Not the same naïve girl he once manipulated, but a woman who has learned that love isn't meant to hurt - and yet, can't stop herself from loving the man who destroyed her. This is not a story of villains and victims 🥀 It's the story of two souls bound by obsession, redemption, and a love too dangerous to let go.🫀 ------------------------ Augustus Brund is a powerful businessman who rules the world. He creates his kingdom laid by his rules. He gets what he wants without Being questioned. No one can stop him. Christina Lobo is a young girl who is deeply in love with Augustus. A girl loved by everyone around her. Without being realized, her world is getting isolated, caged. Will she be able to take everything given to her. Read more to unravel this dark romance
My Master, My Husband (BOOK 1)  by thefoodlover1213
49 parts Complete Mature
THIS BOOK IS 18+ "Alright, I'll tell you the rules twice, and I'll need you to memorize them, write them down and give them to me tomorrow morning." Wait, I'm not good at memorizing things! I nod waiting for him to continue, but I get a soft slap on my face instead, which takes me by surprise. "Words Amelia, you need to respond in words. Speaking of which, that's the first rule. No nodding, no shaking heads no sign language because we both are very capable of hearing and speaking, okay?" I was about to nod when I realized in time. "Yes...?" "Master, you are to address me as your Master when we are alone, but when in public I still wait for some kind of respect you understand?" "Yes Master" --------------------------------------------------- Amelia is the average rich girl, (with a touch of anger issues) she thought she didn't cared about anything or anyone because her life was already planned ahead and there was nothing she could do about it. Although she was envied by most, her life was controlled by her father, and she followed his every rule no matter how hurtful they were to her. Then one day her eyes fell on him, Axel, her meant to be husband... and her soon to be Master. She had to learn how to be a submissive but at the same time be a fearsome and independent woman. To reach her goals and protect what was hers, she had to do things that she never once imagined she'd do. How far would you go to protect your loved ones and your reputation?
Unwanted Wedlock by foreversecret7
25 parts Complete Mature
''Let me help you, ma'am,'' a man who was probably the flight attendant said. Damn. Ryerson Reeds even had handsome flight attendants. The man stooped a bit, leaning close to her and taking the seatbelt from her hands. He was holding eye contact and Lyla felt herself grow amused as she stared back at him. He was going to start buckling her up before someone cleared their throat loudly. They both looked up to meet Reeds' blue-green eyes. ''I think I can help my wife, thank you,'' he said. Lyla's eyebrows shot up. The dude barely talked to her and he was already getting possessive? How does that even add up? Reeds stopped taking the two parts of the seat belt in his hands, ''you couldn't do this without help?'' he muttered to her savagely. Lyla glared at him, before he could even get the belt close to her she took it from his hands and snapped it in the right place. She gave him a sickly sweet smile and Reeds simply scoffed and walked to his seat. The rest of the plane ride was quiet. One would think after that small exchange they would start having some kind of conversation. Wrong. ___________________ This isn't a cliche story where the girl falls for the guy by a simply little gaze. She's stubborn, she's maybe a little relatable, and she's assertive. But she didn't think she was for him. Lyla Vell; the name itself oozed the confidence which was her, and Ryersoon Reeds? Two words to describe him: Arrogant and plain painful. And when these two personalities are in an arranged marriage. Shit about to go down. ___ This is my first Wattpad story. Hope you'll like it! This entire story is NOT mature. Only the last few chapters are and you can still finish the plot without reading those few mature chapters. For those who are hesitant to read the story because it is tagged mature, I'm promising you only the last few chapters are mature, you can read chapters 1-19 without any disturbance of smut. That was for those who're hesitant. Love you. DON'T COPY MY WORK!
