"Do you know what to do, Amunet?" A voice as sweet as silk whispered into the young girl's ear. Amunet didn't look over her shoulder, but shifted uncomfortably on her bare feet before nodding her head. A soft hand touched her back and urged her forward.
All eyes turned towards the girl dressed in transparent linen with her dark hair tumbling down her back and her violet eyes lined by kohl. Every movement caused the jewels on her wrists and ankles to dangle and shimmer in the light.
She raised her head and found the Pharaoh's transfixed stare. His jade eyes narrowed in on hers and the room became still and silent. Amunet bowed and, at the pluck of a harp string, began to dance.

The Solar Princess
Kingship, the ultimate power in the ancient world. To the Egyptians, it was a power passed through the female line. Only the husband of the Solar Princess could be king. A recently discovered tomb in 1883 opens a glimpse into the depths of political ambisions and power plays from centuries before. When the gods dabble, the horrors of the past have a way of coming back to haunt the world once again. ********** This is a short story. I hope you like it. I would love to hear feedback on this. I set this as mature just to be sure. I don't give overly explicit details of violence or sex, however, the story does delve into topics of a more mature nature. It is also a work of fiction that I wrote. Please do not copy any part of this story. I do not own the rights to the photos posted. Those are just images I found online and the rights go to the original owners. Thank you. As for the names of the characters, I pulled all of the names during the historical periods from actual history. So, I am sorry if the names are odd or difficult to follow, it is set during a specific reign and the historical people around the royal palace. I really enjoy writing from actual history as much as possible when I do delve into history. If people like this, I may try to work on a longer story of a historical romance in the Ottoman courts.Concluida

To Love Your Enemy
The guards grabbed me, forcing me to enter the room I didn't even want to be in. I didn't want to be here. I didn't want to be captured. And most of all I didn't want to see this mendacious pharaoh. I hated this man! Absolutely hated him. His eyes filled with intense hate as he stared at me. He looked at me with a bored expression on his face. "I thought I told you to bring me the rebel leader, not some vacuous little girl." Anger started boiling inside me. The guards were about to respond but I interrupted them. "Why Pharaoh! What makes you believe I am not the rebel leader?" He looked at me annoyingly."Well for one thing you're a girl" I was completely enraged! "How sexist! You think that just because I'm not a man I can't be a leader! People like you disgust me! It sickens me that I even looked up to you as a child! I idolized you! Followed you everywhere! Thought-" I quickly covered my mouth realizing I had said to much. This isn't how I imagined the situation when I finally saw him again. I couldn't control my anger around him. The pharaoh's board expression turned into a more interested one. "You talk as if we have met before but I have absolutely no clue who you are! By all means I'm interested.... What are you called?" This was really bad! If I told him my name he would kill all of my comrades too. I had to lie... For their sake. "Neith..." The Pharaoh's eyes quickly snapped to me. "Let me rephrase my previous question... Tell me your FULL name and don't you dare give a fake one either or I will slaughter every single member of the rebel army... Even family members who weren't even involved will be killed." It was over! I couldn't let him kill all of those people. I guess my time was up now. He cornered me in to a wall. I was stuck with no other way out. "Safiya...Safiya Zahra." The Pharaoh's smile instantly turned into a frown. "That's impossible!" Well I think its safe to say he remembers me. "I was the one who killed you."Concluida

The Chosen Woman
"What about you, kangmas. Are you allowed to make out with a married woman?" Srikandi asked, lifting her face. Arjuna gasped at her words. "I'm not jealous of kangmbok Banuwati because she is your first love. But it's very unfair that you don't like me flirting with other men while you seduce women who are already married. Where is justice?" Arjuna was silent. His anger subsided. For a few moments, he was speechless. "I'm sorry, yayi. I'm mad at you because my heart is burning with jealousy. Even if it's just a glimpse, I can feel King Jatikusuma's lust for you." He said. He helped her to stand up. "When will you dance for me?" he asked, grabbing his wife's chin and tilting her head. Srikandi looked into her husband's eyes. "Don't I like to dance for you, kangmas?" she asked shyly. "Yes, I really like your dance, pretty girl." pleaded Arjuna. He ferociously kissed her thin lips. His heart was burning hot with jealousy, remembering another man's lust for his wife. His fingers caressed her back and long hair, then crept into her clothes. ************************************ She was a daughter of a king who grew up in luxury but she was not a spoiled woman who indulged in the pleasures of the world.

The story of a woman's struggle wrapped in romance makes this woman a role model for all time. This story is inspired by the famous Mahabarata's story with different twists and turn.Concluida

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 NemesisConcluida
