What happens when two strong-headed personalities are tied together in a sacred union? Will they find peace, or will it spell disaster? ..... Excerpt: “I warned you, didn’t I, Aliana?” His deep, masculine voice reverberated through the air like silk. Her name rolled off his sinful lips so seductively that it made her want to roll her eyes in reluctant delight. That thought alone made her brows knit in confusion until she heard him continue, “You step into my world, and I will ruin you in ways you never imagined.” Aliana shivered, not only at the warning he had given her far too many times, but also at the way his icy blue eyes pierced her so intensely that it felt as though she might burn and freeze all at once. Ignoring her thrumming heartbeat, she drew in a sharp breath and replied, “You did… but didn’t I say there is nothing I love more than a challenge? If you’re going to ruin me, Gavriel, at least make sure you’re the only one left standing when the dust settles.” His eyes widened ever so slightly before he rose from his armchair and padded across the carpet to stand right before her. The moment his fingers lifted to touch her chin, a jolt of electricity shot down her spine as he leaned in and said, “You want to play a dangerous game, Aliana…. and make no mistake, this devil loves to play.” Tilting her chin closer to his face, he whispered, “So here’s my offer, Aliana…. marry me.” .... The book cover is mine, don't use it.

Hi! My name is [Redacted], but most people just call me Focaccia Bread — or Foca. I’m writing this mostly for fun, but also to share my stories, my questionable life choices, and the music that somehow came out of them.

My brain jumps timelines like a fever dream, so expect chaos, time skips, and zero apologies. I’m weird. I’m quirky. I embrace it with both arms and half a bagel. I know — I’m cringe.

What she got in return was the loss of her child… and a sudden death at a young age. After her soul left her body, she saw her wife of seven years chatting and laughing happily with another woman.

But for some reason, Yu Sheng suddenly became cold and distant toward her, even openly proposing divorce. For the first time, Shen Yunmian panicked, abandoning all composure to try to win her back. “Shengsheng, I’ll change. Please don’t divorce me.” But she only received a cold reply: “Don’t degrade yourself. The way you cling desperately is really ugly.” When the memories of her past life flooded back, Shen Yunmian finally experienced the heart-wrenching pain Yu Sheng once endured. She knew she no longer had any right to beg for forgiveness. And the child she carried in her womb, which she had intended to use to salvage their relationship… Now, she could no longer bring herself to mention it. In her past life, she was cold as ice.
