My Emporium In Another World

In a victorian fantasy world, soon to clash with a new steampunk era, a woman who died alone in a dark alleway, finds herself in the body of a nineteen year old girl called Amelia Cora Baker, who is the victim of weaponized incompetente and practically the “favorite” servant of both her family and the servitude. What at first looked like bad luck with transmigration and reencarnation, turned out to be a second opportunity to make it big with her previous-life knowledge for marketing and her new knowledge for baking . Amelia leaves the cruel life she was once forced to live in, with her father’s inheritance in life and a new plan to make her life better. Even if she has to go do back to using prostitution and anticonceptive methods to straight up murder, she will make it work to get away with it and live her best life. Finding stability by creating her own restaurant, Amelia finds herself growing businesses everywhere and ending up creating an Emporium all by herself. But her journey is not only business and achievements; Amelia finds children in horrible state, abandoned, and forgotten in this cruel world, who then she adopts as her own. The new opportunity for life not only comes with business oppportunity, but it also gives her an opportunity to have a family (while a bit odd for “normal” standards in this new world) all on her own. But Amelia’s life will also have struggles. not only with men wanting to oppress her, but also old-fashioned women, and even no-human creatures like the fae who can get jealous from of humans getting “prettier children” to straight up jealousy for Amelia’s success. And it does not help the fact that Amelia wants to include no-human creatures in her business opportunities, which for other humans can be an excuse for “favoritism” or “treason.” In order to survive, she must first make sure she does not call out the attention of anyone from the royal family or the church. Then, keep growing spectacularly until, by when men and no-human people want her gone, it would be too late. Will Amelia be able to achieve complete independence or will she be intercepted and oppressed with treason and exhile or something worse, like execution?

The Duke's Unwanted Second Wife

**Mature Content** Eilika Wolanski is the eldest daughter of one of Varos’ most respected merchants, but respect has never brought her kindness. A childhood accident left a scar across her cheek, and with it, a cruel label she can never escape. The “Unwanted Woman” of Varos. Mocked in public, pitied in private, and treated like a blemish to be hidden, Eilika grows up learning one painful truth, beauty matters more than character in high society. So when an unexpected marriage proposal arrives from the powerful House of Kingsley, no one believes it is real. The groom is Damian Van Kingsley, the widowed duke of Varos, feared for his cold temperament and admired for his unmatched looks and wealth. Rumors follow him like shadows. He has a secret mistress, a broken heart drowned in alcohol, and worst of all… A son he barely acknowledges. For Eilika, marrying Damian isn’t a dream. It’s the only option left for survival. Damian, once the kingdom’s most desirable nobleman, has been nothing but a hollow man since the death of his first wife. He has abandoned his responsibilities, pushed away his child, and lived with one vow burning in his chest. He will never replace his first wife. To force him back into duty, his mother arranges a second marriage, one he never asked for, and one he refuses to accept. Damian swears he will never touch her , will never look at her and will never treat her as his wife. But Eilika isn’t the greedy noblewoman he expected. She doesn’t ask for his affection. She doesn’t crave his title. She doesn’t even want his love. What Eilika wants… is something far more dangerous. A family. And perhaps that is the very thing Damian has been starving for all along. ~~~~ “This bed will remain cold until your last breath.” Damian’s voice boomed through the dark chamber. Eilika didn’t flinch at his words. Instead she replied gracefully, “I don’t seek love, Duke. You can visit your secret mistress every night… Just don’t come near me.” This marriage was never meant to become real, until the Duke's heart begins to betray its own rules.
