shadowed desire

After a traumatic incident three years ago, Zara is ready for a fresh start. Moving abroad to Saint Monarch Academy, a prestigious boarding school in London, she hopes for a quiet, uneventful life — far from the shadows of her past and the memories that haunt her every step. But Saint Monarch is anything but quiet. From the moment she arrives, Zara is confronted with chaos: sprawling dorms that resemble mansions, unpredictable roommates, and students whose wealth and influence rule the campus. Among them are Juniper Harrington-King and Isa Windsor, two powerful figures in the school’s hierarchy, whose personalities clash with Zara’s desire for invisibility. And then there’s Saint, the notorious King of Campus, ironically nicknamed for being anything but saintly. When his attention turns to Zara, it’s relentless and unyielding — not because he needs her, but because she’s impossible to ignore. Thrust into the spotlight, Zara must navigate elite social circles, unexpected alliances, and a web of rivalries, all while trying to maintain her sense of self. As she struggles to reconcile her past with her present, Zara discovers that even at a school full of rules, influence, and appearances, nothing — and no one — is truly as they seem. In a place where popularity is power and peace is nearly impossible, Zara’s journey becomes one of self-discovery, resilience, and the challenge of staying true to herself while surviving the storm.

THE BLADE THAT REMEMBERS

BLURB: Elara Thornwood spent her life obsessed with ancient weapons—until one of her own swords killed her in a freak accident orchestrated by those she trusted most. She awakens not in heaven or hell, but trapped inside the very blade that took her life: the legendary Blade of Remembrance, said to grant its wielder ultimate power. But this isn't her world anymore. She's been reborn in a different timeline where magic exists, dynasties war for supremacy, and her former collection now represents artifacts of immense supernatural power scattered across kingdoms. Imprisoned in a sacred cave for three hundred years, Elara can only watch, wait, and remember her betrayal. She has consciousness but no body, voice but no one to hear her, and a burning need for vengeance she cannot act upon—until HE arrives. Darian Stormhaven, the disgraced Crown Prince stripped of his title after his fiancée's public betrayal with his own brother, stumbles into the forbidden cave while fleeing assassins. Desperate and broken, he reaches for the black sword with the crimson edge—and Elara finally has her chance. But the soul-bond between sword and wielder goes both ways. Elara can see Darian's memories, feel his pain, and access his thoughts. Worse—he can hear her voice, something no wielder in history has ever experienced. Their connection violates every law of magic. As Darian rises from disgrace to reclaim his throne using Elara's power, she discovers three terrifying truths: First, the people who killed her exist in this timeline and are hunting for her blade. Second, Darian's treacherous brother possesses another weapon from her collection—one she knows intimately. Third, the more Darian uses her power, the more human she becomes... but at a cost that could destroy them both. When Elara's original body appears in this timeline—alive, whole, and with no memory of ever being a sword—she must choose between reclaiming her humanity or remaining the weapon that the man she's falling for desperately needs to survive. Because the greatest betrayal isn't the one she remembers. It's the one she's about to commit. SETTING: The Empire of Aethermoor—a realm where ancient magic flows through sacred weapons, noble houses scheme for the throne, and the boundary between the living and the dead is thinner than anyone knows. Primary locations: The Forbidden Cave of Echoes, the Imperial Capital of Goldspire, and the Shadow Court where exiled royals plot their return.

The Ugly Half Sister: A Girl Who Couldn’t Say No to Balls

“Oh my god! The prince sent an invitation for the upcoming royal ball!” Eleanor exclaimed, her voice trembling with excitement as she waved the golden-sealed letter in her hand. “The royal ball!?” Anna and Cindy squealed, nearly toppling over their chair in delight. “Shh! We don’t want Ella to hear about this,” Eleanor hissed, glancing nervously over her shoulder. And there she was, Ella, standing by the doorway with her eyes gleaming, ready to pounce on anyone in sight. “Did someone say balls?” Ella grinned widely, her smile wide enough to make her mother and sister flinch. “No, no—it’s a royal ball, a ball. It’s where people… dance,” Eleanor stammered, her voice faltering. “Well, then,” Ella said, her grin stretching further, “there’s going to be a lot of balls there.” And with that, Ella darted to her room, already rummaging through her drawers. Ella wasn’t just dreaming of going to the royal ball— she dreams of every ball. In a kingdom obsessed with beauty and perfection, Ella, long ridiculed as the “ugly half-sister,” has spent her life in the shadows of her graceful and adored sisters. However, Ella never allowed mockery to pierce her strange, unbothered world. She focused on the hobby that kept growing—collecting balls and other round-shaped items. When the royal family announced the grand ball to find a bride for their prince, Eleanor’s heart sank. She feared Ella’s oddities might bring embarrassment to their family. Desperate to uphold their name, Eleanor resolved to turn her awkward daughter into a refined young lady, no matter how severe the training. “Posture, Ella! You’re not a hunchbacked scarecrow!” “Smile softly, not like you’re about to eat someone!” But despite Eleanor’s strict lessons, Ella’s wild grin never faded. It only sharpened. When the night of the royal ball finally arrived, the palace glimmered under crystal chandeliers. The prince stood poised, the very image of perfection, until the grand doors opened. Ella entered, her gown shimmering with hundreds of tiny glass spheres sewn into the fabric, catching every flicker of light. The room fell silent as a faint, musical clinking echoed with each step she took. The prince turned, his flawless gaze locking with hers. Ella smiled, leaning close enough for only him to hear. “I’ve always loved balls,” she whispered. The prince’s lips parted slightly, his polished smile faltering as if he wasn’t quite sure what he was looking at. Ella tilted her head, her grin fierce and unrestrained. Then, the grand doors opened again. Gasps rippled through the crowd like a wave breaking on marble. With that, a mysterious woman in a simpler dress entered.

The Betrayed Heiress's Second Comeback

The night that was supposed to be the peak of my life became the night I lost everything. My step-sister Rose stole my achievements. My fiancé chose her over me. My father handed over the company I built with my own hands… to her. And when I finally walked away, broken and exhausted, Karl followed me home—drunk, furious, and ready to destroy what little I had left. One blow to the head was all it took to end Jenna Harvour. At least, that’s what the world was meant to believe. I didn’t die. I woke up drugged, half-conscious, and listening to people decide how to “dispose” of me. I heard Rose’s voice ordering my death to be written off as suicide. I heard doctors bargaining over my body. And when I was finally strong enough to open my eyes, I was greeted by a stranger’s face and a new name forced onto me: Jenna Lorance. They buried my old identity. They held a funeral with my name on it. And I was expected to disappear quietly into this new life they created. But the world doesn’t get rid of me that easily. My unexpected lifeline comes in the form of Damian Black—the heir to the largest mafia syndicate and the last person I ever thought would notice me. He shouldn’t care about a woman like me… yet he’s the only one who looks at me as if he can sense the truth beneath my new skin. Revenge is easy. Escaping him is not. Because once a man like Damian decides you’re his, he doesn’t let go—not even if the whole world believes you’re already dead. _________ Re-upload because I needed to fix first 6 chapters [Warning: Mature Context, R18+]
