Twisted obsession
The crown was never meant to rest upon the head of a girl like hers. Twenty-one and Queen Aria danced in silks and secrets, across a kingdom she never thought to inherit. Her voice was soft, but her eyes could shatter empires. Shadows trailed every step she took-two of them. Zander and William. Zander, whose hair was as black as midnight and whose eyes were steel-cold, rarely smiled. Had killed for her. Would do it again in a heartbeat. William, golden-haired and smiling, wore charm as armor, but his touch was marred by something darker-possession. They were more than her protectors. They protected her. Obeyed her. Wanted her. And one of them would betray her. But the queen had secrets as well. Deadly ones. And when obsession turns to love, and love turns to madness... nothing, not even a crown, can protect a heart.Complete

The Rosacea Stain
They called her the Villain Duchess, a name cemented by rumors of bottomless vanity, malicious indifference, and a love for luxury that bled the Duchy of Rosacea dry. Duchess Edna Rosacea wore the infamy like a silk shroud, until one day she simply shed it. Leaving behind the gilded cage of high society, divorce papers, and her young son, Frederick, to the care of his 'hero' father, Duke Bernard Rosacea, Edna vanished across the ocean. Years later, the scandal is a fading, bitter memory in the distant courts. Edna is now just Edna, a woman of calloused hands and sun-dusted peace, nurturing a thriving farm business. She has built a quiet sanctuary, certain the suffocating life of the aristocracy could never touch her again. But sanctuary is a fragile thing. The past, like an old, relentless ghost, finally finds her door. One brisk afternoon, a knock shatters the silence, and standing on her worn porch is the one man who still carries the scent of her former life: Bernard. He has not come for a reconciliation of hearts, but for a desperate appeal that threatens to drag Edna back into the very world she risked everything to escape.

Lament for My First Life
They called it an accident. The darkness that devoured her home, the tragedy that took her parents - all wrapped in whispered pity and silent relief. But for the young daughter left behind, it was the beginning of her descent into hell. Adopted by distant relatives who wore kindness like masks, she grew up as little more than a shadow within their house - unloved, unwanted, unseen. Her stepmother's hatred was venomous, her stepsister's laughter cruel. Denied an education, denied affection, she learned to survive on silence and obedience. Then came the Duke - handsome, powerful, the man promised to her stepsister. When his eyes strayed toward the forgotten girl, admiration blooming where disgust should have lived, the family's hatred ignited into something fatal. They killed her quietly, as if snuffing out a candle no one would miss. But death did not take her. She awoke again - in the body of her seven-year-old self, the day after the tragic accident that destroyed her family. Time had folded backward, granting her a cruel gift: memory. This time, she will not weep. This time, she will not kneel. With the knowledge of every betrayal and every grave that waits for her, she will twist fate itself - and turn the game that once destroyed her into her masterpiece.Complete
The Forgotten Heir
The palace had been abandoned for centuries. Locals whispered it was cursed. Haunted. Forgotten by time. But when Rosa stepped inside, she felt something different. The walls seemed to breathe. The shadows seemed to watch. And in the silence, a pair of eyes from a faded portrait seemed to know her name. Drawn deeper into its mysteries, Rosa found herself caught between history and something far more unsettling, memories that didn't belong to her, and a love that felt older than time itself. Some places are more than ruins. Some stories are more than legends. And some connections... are impossible to escape.

An other worldly girl is reincarnated as Queen Estella de Royalis, the villainess of a novel that is killed by her own husband. Having no other choice, she strives to save herself from that fate. However, the novel she read is not the reality she believed. ______ I tried on another, a red one this time. I twirl in its large skirt. "This one matches your eyes," I say as I spin. "This one too." I stop, putting my hands on my hips. "Are you going to order all of them?" "If I want to, yes, I will." He doesn't budge. I sigh, sitting next to him. "You know that you don't have to do this. I can go buy my own dresses." "I know, but I want to see you wear dresses that I chose. Besides, is it so wrong to want to spend time with you?" ______ Note: This is entirely my work. I want to see if I'm able to write something without a plot set up for me. I hope you like it!Complete
