family

To inherit her father’s empire, Zara Geller must marry. To survive, she chooses control. Her solution is simple: a contract marriage with her devoted secretary, Vincent Macoy—three years, no love, no questions. On the night of their wedding, Vincent should have died in a brutal accident. Instead, something answers his prayer, or shall we say, someone answered indeed. Now wearing Vincent’s face, a dark lord bound by divine punishment must fulfill the last wish of the man whose body he inhabits—to live a long, happy life with Zara. Bound by contract and fate, the devil becomes a husband, a protector, and a threat Zara never saw coming. Because the most dangerous secrets aren’t hidden in shadows. They sleep beside you.

[A Year of Grace- Book 1] Nyxara When I woke up cold, leaning against a tree in the woods, I wondered if there were a few details I wasn't told by the angel who sent me here. It wasn’t long before the brothers I had lost in my past life found me—right as I was trying to find my way out of the woods. They brought me home to the parents who weren’t dead. Since I didn’t get this world’s Nyxara’s memories, I’m claiming amnesia due to trauma. When I was given the choice between redoing my own life or being sent to an alternate universe, I chose the second option. I didn’t want to deal with the shattered remains of my past. What I wasn’t told? While this is a very different life, some people from my old world are still making my life hell in this one. And now, they might have fangs, mind powers, or claws. I’m not the me in my last life, and I’m not the me of this life. So… who am I? On that note, what in the world is an alpha, beta, or omega? Looks like I have a lot to learn—and fast—if I want to graduate from the Sentinels of Accord Academy, let alone survive in a world filled with supernatural beings. It's a new exciting world just waiting for me to claim my place in it. Top 3 in the end of year competitions looks like a good start. This year is going to be amazing. (The romance is slow-burn. 5 mates in total. The romance doesn't really start in this book. All mates are introduced though.) [Daily Chapter Release and Free until completion]

Their son is turning into an Dragoon age

Isabella is a visionary artist, blessed with a gift that flows from her fingertips like liquid gold onto canvas—yet in the sprawling mansion her father calls home, she is little more than a servant, forced to scrub polished marble floors until they gleam like mirrors, while her stepmother lavishes herself in couture and plots to snuff out her artistic light for good. She came perilously close to being broken by those calculated cruelties, until fate wove her life into Raymond’s—an enigmatic mafia boss whose empire spans continents, whose name commands fear in every corner of the city, yet whose heart beats only for her. He loves her with a passion as fierce as the flames that forge his power, and vows never to release her from his protective embrace. Now, she stands at the crossroads of destiny, faced with a choice that could shatter her very soul: walk the shadowed, gilded path by Raymond’s side, where luxury beyond imagination awaits—but with every step comes the looming specter of violence and peril that could consume them both. Or return to her father’s roof, where familiar walls hold the weight of bitter memories, where every glance from her stepmother cuts like a blade, and where her talent is buried beneath the drudgery of a life she never chose. To be with Raymond is to dance with danger; to stay with her father is to drown in the pain of a past that refuses to let her go.

Raven Young thought that after completing her final mission, she would finally leave the organization and live a peaceful life. But what happens when that very mission turns out to be the first one she ever fails? You run. Yes—and so did Raven. Not to save herself, but to escape the people chasing her, pushing her to the very edge… until she had no choice but to jump off a cliff, hoping against hope to survive. But fate had other plans. When Raven opened her eyes, she realized she was alive… but not in her own body. She had woken up as Ivy—the very woman who had caused her mission to fail. And as if that wasn’t enough, a father and son pair refused to let her go. The man kept her close for reasons of his own, his motives unclear and unsettling. Meanwhile, the child clung to her, refusing to leave her side, determined to keep his “parents” together—and even dreaming of having a sibling. “God… just what in the world has happened?” Raven had never felt so betrayed by life. But living in Ivy’s body begins to unravel secrets—truths that entangle their lives in ways she cannot escape. And the man who keeps her close? Little by little… he begins to drive her insane with his undeniable charm.

Neva and Rhett—two young souls—find their heartstrings woven in love. But just as passion and peace begin to bloom, fate intervenes. Bleak, haunting circumstances scatter blades across their romance, threatening to tear them apart. Ishmael—a man with a heart of thorns—yearns to mend the wound of losing Neva. And in the end, rays of love and joy filter through the clouds of horror that darken his world—as Neva appears before him once more. Twisted fate entangles them all, revealing the Game of Sphere, as misery scorches their souls. A concealed life beyond turns its pages—one after another—gathering sin and virtue, tragedy and fortune, strength and frailty, creation, love... and hate. Illusion is where we live—in the garden of Eden before the fall of man. Illusion is serenity—an evermore sanguine of love. The vision of paradise in the New Earth sows hope deep in the soul. The delusory pleasures of this world ignite the flames that burn in oceans of fire. Illusive Eden is rapture. Illusive Eden is tragedy. The fall of man—even now bleeds red. The whisper whirls the dawn of a man—he who pretends to be the hero. --- The girl who once vowed to be his forever Now forbids him to ever appear. She refuses to recognize him, Disregarding all he ever was. He vows to protect her. Yet he is the terrifying truth she prays is a lie. He trips her, rips her apart— He's the living tragedy looming over her life. He once was her Elayne, now her hiraeth. He is the villain—pretending to be the hero. --- The Lord is the way— Steady through the wilderness. The King is the truth— Burning through the lies. The Father is the life— Breathing spirit into dust. She kneels before the Ruler, The God who shaped galaxies— He has called her a poet. Her tongue shall be anointed. Her poetry shall be the rivers of His word. She will scatter seeds in broken fields, And He will send the sun. He will send the rain. He will draw the roots down deep. He yields to the Ruler, The God of blazing holiness— He has called him a soldier. His fists shall be unclenched. The sword of the Spirit rests in his grip. He will shield the sower of the seeds, As storms rise against the harvest. His strength will be not his own, But drawn from the marrow of grace. This faith shall shake the mountains, For He has conquered the filth of the flesh. This flame will cleanse the shadows. For He has defeated the darkness. This love shall live on for eternity, For He has overcome the mortal world.

I watched as Dad looked at me with some kind of angered expression, as usual he believes her.  " Fiona, how many times do i have to tell you to have some respect for my wife? Whether you like it or not she's now your mother. Is this a way to treat your mother"?  "She can never be my mother, she doesn't even have the qualities of being a mother. Why do you always side with her? Can't you see the way she's treating me"?  "Enough Fiona"!!! "You promised mom that you'd always love me and take care of me, but I'm a slave in my own father's house"!! "Hey, don't try to manipulate my husband, what you did was wrong and you expect me not to caution you? Go to your room" I just watched as Dad expression fell, she was manipulating him and turning him against his own daughter.  "You heard her Fiona, go to your room".

We Are Always Present Within Each Other is a story about a love that begins quietly — from two boarding rooms facing one another. No grand promises. No dramatic confessions. They meet when they are very young. He is reserved, disciplined, and kind. She is innocent, soft-spoken, and slightly lost in a foreign city. Their feelings do not arise from sweeping gestures or cinematic moments. They grow through small things: bringing in laundry before the rain, ordering dinner for two, a first trip to the supermarket, simple conversations in a narrow corridor. When he decides to study abroad to build his future, they make no promises to wait. She stays. Eventually, she marries. Years pass. He returns — not to intrude, not to disrupt her life — but remains quietly present, appearing only when she truly needs him. More than thirteen years go by. He remains the same: calm, steady, loving in the way he always has — without possession, without pressure. She marries. She divorces. She hesitates. And still, he stands in a place that is difficult to define — not quite a lover, not merely a friend, but something deeper. A soulmate without a title. This story does not attempt to prove that a perfect man exists. It simply tells of a man who is kind enough, steadfast enough, and mature enough to love without causing harm. And above all, it is the journey of a woman learning to accept that she deserves love — not because someone is flawless, but because two people understand and respect one another. Because some relationships, no matter how many years pass or how far apart they drift, remain quietly present within each other.

[ADULT CONTENT WARNING: Explicit intimacy and mature relationship themes. 18+ only.] Seven years together. Two years married. To the world, Alexander Montclair is the perfect husband gentle, patient, and calm. A man who never raises his voice and believes love should be quiet and understanding. But behind closed doors, his silence speaks louder than anger. In our marriage, his family comes before everything. His mother’s wishes dictate our lives, while my own needs are expected to wait. Every compromise, every apology, every sacrifice, it’s always me who gives in. The only time I feel chosen is in our intimacy moment, when desire briefly drowns out duty and that's when he listens to me instead of his family’s voice. But sex moments can’t hold a marriage together. This is not a story about cruelty or violence. It’s about emotional neglect, quiet obedience, and the slow ache of realizing that love without choice will eventually break you. After seven years of loving him, I must decide: Remain the husband who is always second or finally choose myself.
