His Contract, My Rules

I was just a ghost in his empire, scrubbing his floors to pay for a life I could barely afford. Every day was survival—tuition, rent, food, and bills that didn’t wait for anyone. I had rules, pride, and a stubborn streak that refused to be broken, and I thought that was enough… until Julian Thorne looked down. He didn’t just see a janitor; he saw a challenge. A spark. A girl who wouldn’t bend, even when the world was pressing her to the ground. And suddenly, my quiet, invisible life didn’t feel so safe. Now, the man who runs this city with an iron fist has a contract for me. One year. Total submission. No questions asked. Every move, every word, every glance under his watchful eye. A deal with the devil that could solve all my problems—or burn my world to ash. He thinks he’s bought me, but he has no idea that I don’t just follow rules. I break them. He signed the check. I’m signing his downfall. Every day under his roof is a battle of wills—between power and pride, control and desire, temptation and survival. He wants obedience; I want freedom. He expects compliance; I deliver defiance. And somewhere in the tension, in the fiery clashes and the stolen glances, a dangerous attraction ignites. I didn’t ask for him. I didn’t ask for this contract. But I’m learning quickly: when a man like Julian Thorne wants you, nothing is ever simple. Every rule he sets is a challenge. Every command is a test. And I’m not the type to fail. Because I’m not just scrubbing floors. I’m fighting for my life, my pride, and my world. And if he thinks he’s the one in control… he’s about to find out who really writes the rules.

Not Your Perfect Princess

She wanted Paris. She got a palace. After winning the nation's most prestigious cooking competition, Liana Davis, a doctor turned chef, is finally going somewhere. Paris. Fame. Freedom... Until an accidental fall off a cliff lands her in a gilded bed, surrounded by bowing servants, addressed as Princess Ioana of a powerful royal kingdom that should not exist. But there's only one problem. Liana isn't Ioana. She doesn't belong in corsets, she doesn't speak "thee" and "thou", and she certainly didn't agree to attend royal balls, smile for nobles or play along with a family that watches her a little too closely. But pretending may be the only way to survive. Trapped in an alternate universe ruled by crowns, codes and cruel traditions, Liana must survive palace politics, an icy royal family and a court that expects obedience...not sarcasm. But unfortunately for them, sarcasm was her default mode. When a royal decree announces her arranged marriage to a ruthless, arrogant prince, love was the last thing on her "royal" bucket list...or so she thinks. Between royal balls, biting comedy, simmering drama, and a mysterious man who appears...and vanishes...like a prophecy waiting to unfold, Liana finds herself caught between fate and free will...and a marriage that may change everything. In a world where power is inherited, she intends to earn hers. A fantasy romance filled with comedy, drama, royal intrigue, love after marriage, and a heroine who refuses to kneel.

HEARTS & FANGS

||-Ongoing-|| 'I hate you! I hate you! I'll never be the wife that you deserve!' 'I do not want the wife that I deserve Cassiopeia because it is you that I want.' 'Then,' she hesitated for only a moment, 'I'll never be a wife still yet yours!' she promised him. 'Say that again,' he told her in a hard angry voice, 'and face the rowen,' he dared her. Despite the threat, she climbed out of bed and went to him. She tilted her head to look challengingly at him with her sharp green tear stained eyes. 'I will never be a wife much less yours,' she repeated in a terminal raspy but rather confident voice. He stared at her for a long time, internally simmering. The tension in the bedroom thickened greatly. Silence reigned as their stare down intensified. All in the room stood in trepidation, awaiting his eppy. 'Everyone,' he ordered in a calm yet jussive voice that betrayed the extremity of his anger. 'Out!' he finished. They all festinated out, skedaddling away as quickly as they could before anyone of them suffered from transfer of aggression. And when the door closed with a small click sound behind them, he drew her to him unexpectedly. 'You are mine,' he simply told her with surety before he lipped her. --- She knew nothing, except that she wanted out, away from him-the beast. She knew not what she wanted, especially with a damaged head and fragmented memories. But, she just knew that she wanted nothing -absolutely nothing- to do with the monster that always left her in perplexity. --- He wasn't what she thought he was. He was what she would never dream to think. He was a part of her and she was a part of him. He would never let her go. She must be there, with him, under his spell, wrapped around his thumb lest everything would go wrong. And if it did, he was the only person who could try, mean try to put it back in place. For with her, nothing wrong could ever be right.

The Price of an Heir

Suho has always lived between two worlds. One shaped by legacy, pride, and expectations he never chose, and another shaped by a heart that feels too deeply for the life he is meant to lead. He is cold, silent, charming, and smart when it comes to business. But he is gentle by nature, emotionally deep, and quietly devoted when it comes to his love. But love was never allowed to be part of his carefully arranged world. It was always meant to be negotiated, controlled, and contained. At this point in his life, Yerin is his everything. His first love, his only love. He is willing to go to any length to keep her, even when his family repeatedly refuses to accept her. Torn between a heart that refuses to let go and a lineage that demands an heir to carry the Kim legacy, Suho takes a decisive step, trying to hold on to Yerin without disappointing the family that expects obedience and continuity from him. Then Hauen enters his life. Not through affection, but through a contract. Chosen not as a partner, but as a solution, Hauen becomes his wife in a marriage built for convenience. An agreement meant to secure an heir and protect the Kim family’s legacy. In return, Hauen enters this marriage to save her father’s bankrupt business. She is warm and gentle, yet guarded. Strong in quiet ways, carrying her own unspoken burdens. To the world, their marriage looks flawless. Polite smiles, perfect appearances, a union without cracks. To them, it is nothing more than a carefully written business contract, set to end after eighteen months. But life has little patience for plans built without truth. In the midst of calculated decisions and emotional restraint, fate pushes Suho into the lowest point of his life, breaking him in ways he never expected. Stripped of control, certainty, and pride, he is forced to confront the parts of himself he has never imagined. At his most fragile moment, the question is no longer about legacy or contracts. It's about Who will stay when everything collapses? Who will stand beside him when life is hard for him? And when life offers both unbearable loss and unexpected grace, will Suho have the courage to accept them? This is a story of love that begins as an obligation, fractures under destiny's test, and slowly transforms into something honest, real, and beautiful.
