He betrayed me with my own sister. So I did the unthinkable—I signed up for his father’s class and made sure he couldn’t ignore me. I was supposed to start college with a boyfriend and a plan. Instead, I caught my ex and my sister tangled up in his bed. Crushed? Maybe. Broken? Never. Because fate—and maybe a little revenge—had a different game in mind. His father. Professor Ethan Parker. Calm, brilliant… and completely off-limits. At least, that’s what everyone thought. One intense look across the lecture hall. One invitation to “stick around after class.” One night that shattered every rule I thought I knew. Now, I say “Professor Parker” when I’m around others… but in my mind, it’s always Ethan. My ex wants to make amends. My sister wants to erase it all. But karma? Karma shows up with his last name—and it’s nothing like what they expected.

Will release four chapters between 12/16 to 12/19 for next month. In a kingdom where matrimony beliefs stood at the pinnacle of everyday life. Bethel Green dares to open "The Cleaved Knot Legal Services," offering escape from brutal and broken marriages. But her radical mission stirs dangerous opposition, threatening her precarious new life. Bethel is no ordinary divorce lawyer; she's Princess Ophelia, the youngest imperial child from the powerful, distant Emeraldleaf Empire. Born into an ancient lineage founded by a magical clover that transformed a wasteland, Ophelia fled a nine-year marriage that brought her to the brink. Now, she fights for others' freedom, offering a chance where neither societal stigma nor the church would. Her desire is to change traditional laws, to reveal the harsh reality of marriage, and to spread this hope like wildfire across vast seas. One little problem... the type of cases Bethel will take on will more be than she could handle. A client request, no matter what status they uphold, will be a head twisting difficulty. As threats mount and her meager funds dwindle, Bethel must take a desperate gamble: hire Rupert, a disgraced former Sword Master and Knights Captain. Stripped of his hard-earned wealth and status after his sword aura was contaminated and his unit perished battling a shadow beast, Rupert—a survivor from a childhood of poverty and loss—is exactly the kind of desperate, skilled individual who might accept such an offer. He's a man willing to risk everything for a pittance and a roof over his head. After falling from two different heights in the world. Can this former princess and disgraced mercenary cleave the bonds of injustice without unraveling themselves in the process? ______________ Client 1: Please help me divorce from my dead husband! He been haunting our home for months! Bethel: Apologies, but I'm a divorce lawyer for the living... not a exorcist. Client 2: My wife has been writing letters to a nobleman, help me find out who he is. So I can challenge him to a duel! Bethel: If you have no interest in dissolving your marriage, please leave my office. Client 3: I need to stop my father remarriage! That woman is a snake! Bethel: ...Should I just start upping my fee for these ridiculous case... ______________ Arthur Note: I wanted to write a story involving divorces, where each character suffering reflects a possibility. Or even more so a frightening reality. There's plenty of stories, wedtoons, and mangas where the leading character is either isekai, time travel, or reincarnated. During a point where they are married on the verge of divorce. These interests me the most since every single piece of dirty laundry including where the bodies are buried being bought to light. Enough for my jaw to dropped off my face. But I want more... not a story arc than bang! Happy ending! I want someone to stand at the center of it all. That how Bethel Green was born, a young woman with her own past. Taking on clients seeking help, in a world where societal stigma may as well be a death sentence. She's not a perfect hero; she's flawed, driven, and even a bit cynical, which makes her feel incredibly real. I sincerely hope those of you enjoy this story. If not, that is fine, even though this doesn't end up being your cup of tea nor a stiff drink, hopefully you find one that does. Fair Warning: Not every chapter will be exciting. Especially with my far lower than average skills as a writer. But I will try to do what I can as a first-time writer. I will also try to keep them 1.5k words long. So excuse the two beginning chapters, since I'm satisfied on how they turned out. There won't be any daily or weekly updates untill next year in mid-2026 For now is only a 3 updates per month. Just to make a stockpile and refinement in editing

Silver Preston was supposed to be America’s next figure skating sweetheart—until a brutal injury shattered her Olympic dreams and left her stranded at Yale, miles away from the ice that defined her. All she wants is to stay invisible, to escape the suffocating grip of her former coach-mother, and to outrun the whispers that she’s finished. But Yale hockey isn’t quiet, and neither is Eli Hayes—the team’s captain, campus golden boy, and infuriatingly unreadable. To Silver, he’s arrogant, cold, and everything she swore she’d avoid. To Eli, she’s reckless, stubborn, and a distraction he can’t afford. Their worlds were never meant to collide—except the rink has a way of pulling broken people back onto the ice. When gossip turns cruel and secrets from the past threaten to destroy her for good, Silver is forced to decide whether she’ll keep running or fight for the life—and the love—she thought she lost. And as Eli battles his own demons under the unforgiving glare of NHL scouts, their fragile connection becomes the one thing that could save them both…or break them completely. Full of sharp banter, late-night study sessions, stolen glances at the rink, and the electric push-pull of enemies who might be more, this is a story of ambition, redemption, and the thin line between pride and passion.

Let’s be frank: my stepmother is human trash. She has always been, and she’ll always be. That’s just how life is. But I’ve got to admit that she’s outdoing herself today. ‘Cause, darn, she’s just told me, first thing in the goddamn morning, that I’m to be wed in a few hours’ time for the prosperity of the clan. That has the merit to be crystal clear, at least. Alright, sure. Fine. I can live with an arranged marriage. It’s not the worst thing she’s done. What’s not fine, though, is my spouse’s gender, age, and species. I want to make three points clear: 1. I’m not into men. 2. I’m not into older people. 3. I’m not into other species. Guess what? It appears my future partner is everything listed above. Male, old enough to be my ancestor, and a demon! ...Is it too late to run away? Asking for a friend. ______________________________ Doesn’t-give-a-fuck-anymore human x pampering older demon [BL] ______________________________ Free of copyright picture used for the bookcover by Leonhard_Niederwimmer
