Marriage Of Convenience
Jae Yung... How in the sand hell did my day turn out so wrong? One minute I'm getting dressed for my brother's wedding and in the very next I'm being forced to wed his fiance "McKenna Thomas," my sworn nemesis. I get that public image is important to our parents but this was too much to force upon me. Mckenna and I couldn't stand being in the same room together let alone married. This is a marriage destined to fail disastrously because McKenna and I were like oil and water, fire, and ice. McKenna Thomas: I stood at the altar staring straight into the face of Caleb's younger brother, Jae. His angry brown eyes were burning holes into the veil that was obscuring my face from his view. His cold expression was causing the once pleasant air around me to turn ice cold. Tears formed in my eyes as the humiliation and pain of being left at the alter constructed a gigantic barrier around my already shattered heart. The only thing that was forcing me to go along with this sham of a marriage and to seal my fate to a ruthless Jae Yung was my daughter "Raleigh" safety and well-being. #1 KMBW #1 In Wook #2 In AMBW #2 In Shotgun Weddings #4 BWKM #13 NemesisComplete

Baby, Blind Love Is True.
Aurora Jackson thought her job in real estate was going to be easy. Convince a stubborn landowner to sell his property, close a multi-million-dollar deal and prove once again that she's still the best. She is a complete badass, a storm in heels, a real maniac when it comes to her work and she never stops until she gets her job done. But then she meets Kim Han-Bin, who is more than what she bargained for. Han-Bin isn't your average brooding, morally gray guy with a dark past. He's antagonistic, aggressive, a sadistic asshole and some might say borderline psychotic, with no empathy towards human beings. The only thing he cares about is his mother's land in the countryside province of South Korea. No amount of money, influence or power can make him budge until Aurora, posing as a freelancer, shows up at his doorstep, making him fall to his knees... literally. She's got a plan, but things get complicated when Han-Bin's cold exterior starts to crack. As Aurora digs deeper, she realizes there's more to this deal than just business and more to Han-Bin than she ever expected. This is a story of secrets, lies, and an unexpected connection that could change everything. Will Aurora stick to her mission or will she risk it all for something she didn't see coming? Only one way to find out. Started: 17/1/2025.![Natural // kth [COMPLETED]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/241553736-256-k660404.jpg)
