possessive

Her parents sold her future before she could breathe, an arranged marriage to a man she barely knew. Rhydian Cerny, the man waiting at the altar, has loved her fiercely since she was a child, and he's willing to wait, to worship, to break for her. With wedding planning, a secret tech startup, and a year and a half to get it right, will Lavender let herself be loved... or destroy him in the process?

Zainab Adebayo is a twenty-one-year-old girl from a modest family in Ijebu, Ogun State. Her mother, once a market woman, now lies bedridden after a stroke. Her father died years ago, leaving Zainab and her two younger siblings to survive on the edge of poverty. Despite her struggles, Zainab remains hopeful, taking small jobs and saving for her dream of attending university. Her life changes when she reconnects with Tomiwa, her childhood best friend, now living in Lagos. Tomiwa dazzles her with a world Zainab has only seen in movies—designer bags, fine restaurants, luxury apartments, and expensive cars. When Zainab asks how she affords it all, Tomiwa simply laughs and says, “Connections, babe. You need to learn to play the game.” At first, Zainab thinks Tomiwa is joking when she hints that rich men can “sponsor” young women for companionship. But as her mother’s medical bills pile up and her family faces eviction, desperation pushes Zainab closer to the line she swore she’d never cross. Tomiwa’s words echo in her mind: “Nobody gives you pity in this city—only opportunity.” Zainab reluctantly agrees to meet some of Tomiwa’s “clients,” hoping for easy money. But she soon discovers the world behind the glitter — a dark network of exploitation, power, and manipulation. The men are not only rich but ruthless, using wealth to buy silence and obedience. What begins as “sugar” quickly turns into control, coercion, and psychological abuse. When one encounter ends violently, Zainab realizes Tomiwa is not just complicit — she’s part of a deeper operation that recruits and manipulates vulnerable girls. Heartbroken and trapped, Zainab tries to escape, but she learns that the “sugar life” has chains stronger than any prison. Her reputation is ruined, and her family’s safety is threatened. After a devastating tragedy — her mother’s death and Tomiwa’s betrayal — Zainab hits rock bottom. Yet from the ruins of her life, she finds strength in a small act of defiance. With the help of Inspector Bode, a weary but kind-hearted officer, she exposes the trafficking network and its wealthy patrons. Her testimony costs her everything — her safety, her freedom, and eventually, her life. But her courage sparks an investigation that saves other girls like her. The final chapters show her legacy living on through a community foundation established in her name, helping young women escape poverty without exploitation. The story ends not with victory, but redemption — Zainab’s name becomes a quiet symbol of resistance in a world where the innocent are often forgotten.

Karl drove Isabella to a lonely place, the kind where people disappear. He was supposed to kill her and her baby, but even though she begged him, he didn't say a word. When they stopped, he pulled her out of the car and looked right at her. "I don't know why I'm doing this," he said, cutting the ropes tying her hands. He pointed down a dirt road. "That road will take you out of the city." He gave her some cash. "I don't know if this is enough, but you need to leave the country. Stay gone. Pretend you're dead. If you ever come back, I'll have to kill you myself." Isabella's voice shook. "Karl, why? You're risking everything. If Vance finds out..." She couldn't finish the sentence. "Why are you doing this?" Karl knew he had feelings for her, but he'd never admit it. Loving his brother's woman would be stupid. "Just go," he said, turning away. "Don't come back." He got in his car and drove off fast. What happens when Isabella returns, telling Karl the child is his?

[Trigger Warning: This semi dark fantasy romance contains few mature themes.] --- SYNOPSIS: •A WORLD BUILT ON LIES• Long ago, humans lived unaware of the supernatural beings hidden among them—werewolves with their primal instincts, witches whispering spells in the dark, and elves with their ancient, watchful eyes. For centuries, they coexisted in fragile silence. Then, everything shattered. Near the shadow-drenced woods of the Shadow pack kingdom, human traveler stumbled upon a gruesome scene: an old woman’s lifeless body, her skin ashen, her wounds gaping like accusations. A few paces away lay a dead werewolf, its throat ripped open, its muzzle still flecked with blood. The truth was undeniable—monsters walked among them. Fear ignited war. Humans, armed with fire and steel, hunted the supernatural races. Witches and elves were dragged into the slaughter, their homes burned, their people butchered. The bloodshed raged until King Alfred V of the Amethyst Kingdom stood before the four Werewolf Kings—Silverhowl, Crimsonheart, Shadow, and Atlassian —and offered a deal drenched in poison. A sacrifice for peace. Every twenty years, each human family would surrender a daughter to the werewolves. And in return, the future Alpha Kings must wed a human—or the war would reignite. The werewolves agreed. The witches and elves retreated, their hatred festering like an open wound. The world remained fractured, its peace a fragile lie. --- •THE PROPHECY OF FIRE• In the hidden Blaze Tribe, where crimson eyes burned like embers, the seer Prophetia foresaw annihilation. "Our people will fall," she rasped, her voice trembling. "But from the ashes, a girl will rise—the one who will bring true peace… and the one they will slaughter for it." The tribe made a desperate pact. They would cast a spell—a curse of forgotten memory—erasing their existence from the world’s mind. Their souls would be the price, but their legacy would live on in Ovelia, the child of prophecy. The night the Blaze Tribe fell, Ovelia’s parents hid her in the whispering forest, their hands shaking as they sealed a goddess—Firera—inside her infant body. Then, they turned to face their doom. --- •FATE’S CRUEL WHISPER• Ace Draven—half-werewolf, half-witch prince of Silverhowl—had never believed in destiny. Until he found a crying infant in the forest. His wolf, Fenrir, howled in recognition. A crimson thread shimmered between them—mates. But Firera, watching from within Ovelia’s soul, snarled. "She’s a child. This is too soon." With a flick of her wrist and spell, she tore the memory from Ace’s mind, leaving only an empty ache in his chest. --- •TWENTY YEARS LATER: A SACRIFICE IGNITES• Ovelia has spent her life as a slave, raised by the cruel mayor of Timberline Village—a man who would gladly sacrifice her to spare his own daughter. The night of the sacrifice, the air reeks of damp earth and iron. Torches flicker as the werewolves emerge from the shadows. And then—Ace Draven steps forward. Their eyes meet. Fenrir *howls*. Ace’s claws unsheathe, his breath ragged. "You…" He doesn’t understand why his wolf is clawing at his ribs, why his pulse hammers at the sight of this stranger. But the bond between them burns hotter than vengeance. Ovelia doesn’t know him. He doesn’t recognize her. And yet, their souls scream in unison.

Sienna Vale POV My boss is an ass wipe. There’s no nicer way to say it. Adrian Kade is the most arrogant, cold-blooded, control-obsessed man I’ve ever met. He’s rich, powerful, and devastatingly composed—the kind of man who never raises his voice because people bend before he has to. I’ve watched him make executives cry, ruin careers before lunch, and still look like he’s carved from marble while doing it. He doesn’t like me much, either. Which is fine, because the feeling is mutual. But I need the job. I need the paycheck. And I need the health insurance, because my brother’s attorney charges by the minute and we’re running out of time. So I get up every morning, make his coffee, run his empire, and tell myself it’s temporary. Then one night, I took a second job—one that pays cash for silence and doesn’t ask questions. Through an elite escort agency, I sell time, not affection. No names. No attachments. No repeats. Until I walked into a penthouse suite and found my boss waiting for me. He didn’t fire me. He didn’t even flinch. He booked me again. Now he owns my hours twice over—once on paper, once in private. He’s moved my desk, rewritten my contract, and somehow found a way to make my entire existence revolve around him. He’s buying my time, my obedience, my composure. But what he really wants is my surrender. And the worst part? I can’t decide if I want to slap him or kiss him. Because every time he looks at me, I see the man beneath the suit—the one who doesn’t know how to ask for what he wants unless he’s paying for it. By day, I’m his assistant. By night, I’m his escape. And somewhere between power and obsession, we both forgot where the line was. Now I just have to decide if I can survive him… or if I’m already his. ⸻ Excerpt: “You’re late,” he said. “You told me to wear a slip dress in January,” I shot back. “I had to thaw out first.” His mouth curved. “Character building.” “Idiotic,” I corrected. “Next time, buy me a coat.” “You’ll still show up.” “Yeah,” I said. “But you’ll be paying extra for frostbite.”
