Not Your Typical Cinderella Story

Beatrice has never experienced what it's like to be truly wanted and desired, believing she'd have to settle into some boring marriage and grow old in the most ordinary way. Yet one night, one gala changed everything. She catches the eyes of two men. One is the heir to the conglomerate families dominating Western economics. The other is the patriarch of the richest Swiss banking dynasty. Both are rivals — personally and professionally. Theodore clears his intentions on their very first bus ride. He doesn't hide, he doesn't manipulate. But Beatrice can't trust him, knowing he must be trying to use her to get information about the man she works for. Yet he remains persistent and adamant — and what first started as part of a plan, Theodore finds himself falling in love, something he swore he never would. On the other hand, Adrien is like the sweetest venom stuck in her throat. He is cold and ruthless but carries scars on his soul that only she is allowed to see. He doesn't know how to do anything halfway, and since day one, he wanted her — wanted to possess her, own her, worship her. But the misunderstanding between them is strong, and the difference in social status is inevitable. Once peaceful and boring, Beatrice's life suddenly becomes a whirlwind of passion, possession, power, hunger, betrayal, ache, and need. Love that breaks her into too many pieces, yet she keeps reaching for it. She finds herself in the web of history of five great families, each one hiding worse secrets than the last. Not a Cinderella story where she gets saved. Not a Cinderella where Prince Charming comes on a white horse. They bleed, they break, they plead, they yearn. And eventually — The story ends with her choosing one

The Ice-cold CEO’s Doted Wife’s Revenge

[Warning: this story contains dark themes] **** Seven years ago, Ruby Emerald believed she had everything: love, stability, a future she could finally trust. On her wedding anniversary, she planned a surprise that would change their lives forever. Instead, her world shattered. She found her husband having sex with his ex, the words that followed cutting deeper than the betrayal itself. He said loving her made him feel small. Empty. The child she carried was her quiet miracle, who never got the chance to be born. Ruby lost her pregnancy on the very day meant to celebrate life, sealing her heartbreak in silence. When grief had barely settled, life demanded more. Her mother’s heart was failing. There was a need for surgery, which was devastatingly expensive. Her father’s debts threatened to swallow the family business whole. Ruby was drowning. Then came the knock on her hospital door. Her ex-husband’s stepfather, Max Byron, stepped inside, immaculate and unreadable, his presence commanding the room before he spoke a single word. A man of power, control, and secrets. “I can solve all your problems,” he said. Hope flared, dangerous and fragile until he finished: “My only condition… is that you marry me.” Trapped between survival and self-respect, Ruby is forced into a marriage built on necessity, not love. But beneath the cold arrangement and unspoken boundaries, something unsettling begins to grow, slow, restrained, impossible to ignore. Because the most dangerous thing about this marriage isn’t the bargain she made— It’s the feelings she never agreed to feel.
