"You are the highlight of my day, no regret, no woes, if this love chooses to kill me, I will live up till the last moment for you." "If love remembers the promise I made to you, even if I am gone with the wind, it will carry me across oceans and present me to you," Lollina Aumles is known as the spoilt daughter of the Aumles household, she is a powerless girl who didn't give a damn that she had no abilities, she always considered herself an ordinary girl. Until she was registered for an annual carnival/competition by one of her sisters and she finds herself involved with one of the most powerful men in their country. She considered him as an enemy and least expected her father to ask him to mentor her and set them up together in a guesthouse. Series of events made her believe that she isn't as ordinary as she used to believe and the only person she could turn to in order to find her origin. And with the amount of love going on in the guesthouse, she isn't so sure that she won't be swept up in it's whirlwind of Romance.

Chapter 1 Rude And Annoying

"I can't do what you want me to do, Father said I should go to his friend's manor and run an errand for him," she said, nonchalantly.

"You are good for nothing, You won't go to the Carnival and you still won't help those who want to go, Lollina, you really love making yourself useless, don't you?" The woman in front of her said, fiercely. Her coiled hair moves to and fro, sometimes getting in the way of her brown eyes and red lips.

Yes, her name is Lollina, she is the only daughter of her mother, the third daughter and the fifth child of her father.

Her father has twelve children,five guys and seven ladies. He has three wives, one of them was her late mother, Lady Mordelia. The second wife is Lady Ramsoona who is a really gentle soul and of perfect character, though she tends to ignore and forget important things sometimes.

The last wife is Lady Jeanie, her second step mother and the bane of her existence, she hates Lollina intensely and likes to flaunt that fact.

"Should I leave father's errands and run your own because I am not sure you will like his reaction if I tell him that you told me to do that,"

"You're rude, spoiled and useless, you are a waste of space," Lady Jeanie said and Lollina mimicked her words while she was talking.

Lady Jeanie hated the fact that Lollina always had her way with her father and never failed to mention how rude, spoiled and useless she was everytime she got the opportunity.

In the whole menage, she is her father's favorite child and her mother was his first love and as the saying goes, you never forget your first love.

Lady Jeanie tried her every possible best to shift her father's love and attention to her, but it was all vain. Lady Mordelia is the first madam of the household and her portrait stood tall in the main hall.

"so are you, we are of the same species,"

"You...."

"If you have nothing else to say, I have to go to the Gonzafelang Manor," She said and got out of the room.

--------------------

"My lord, Lady Lollina is here to see you," The attendant announced her presence.

"Let her in," she heard the booming voice of Lord Gonzafelang and the door opened.

While her house is beatified with every shade of blue, this manor is all white, ash and cream, it was elegant though, she had no idea about decorating so she isn't one to judge and her opinion doesn't count.

"Lollina," The lord said with a small smile and Lollina greeted him gracefully. This man is a good friend of her father, he is a little bit muscular and of average height, he has a mustache on his jaw and thin eyebrows but he looks handsome, at least, for his age.

"Hello, My Lord, Father sent me to give you this scroll," she said, removing it from her bag. She raised it in the air and the Lord nodded.

"Walk forward," he said, raising his hand. Lollina nodded and walked to where he sat, he raised his hand and she gently placed the scroll on it.

Out of the Lords and Ladies that are in their kingdom, Bakainan, Lord Gonzafelang top the list of those few she respects. He is a really upright man, if it was coming from her.

"Why don't I have a good look around the manor while you read those, it has been a few months since I came here," she said with a smile. "If you have anything you want me to tell my father I can do that on my arrival,"

"Okay, do as you wish," he said, waving her away half-heartedly, he was engrossed in the scroll he was reading.

-----------------

She skipped around the manor mindlessly, her body there but her mind far away, she was losing focus and concentration. She stopped when she bumped into a tree or so she had thought until she looked up and found herself facing the back of someone, she had bumped into that person.

She looked ahead and saw that in front of the person was a lake, if that had not been there she would have fallen into the water.

The person turned to look at the person that bumped into him and they were suddenly in close proximity. The first thing she noticed were his lips, not because of the scowl on it but because it seemed like the most beautiful one her eyes have ever grace.

He had pale and smooth skin, his eyebrows were beautifully arched over his eyes, his long eyelashes that frame his beautiful eyes were evenly spaced and she didn't want to get started on those eyes, those very dark shade of brown moderate things are just as amazing and to top it all he was in a white cloth, he look like an angel, he is beauty at it peak and a man at that.

Lollina wondered why the women in Bakainan are not flocking the guy already, she is sure that some nobles would chase him to hell and back if they saw him, he is just that handsome, they both stared at each other as if in a trance and she wondered if anyone can be so perfect.

"Did you forget those darn eyes of yours at home?" He asked with a frown.

There it is! The foul mouth, that's his flaw and a bad one at that, no wonder the women don't chase him, he must have driven them away with his tongue.

He didn't allow her to respond before he scoffed and turned, behaving like she wasn't there in the first place. She called him but he didn't even budge so she raised her hand to touch him on his shoulder.

It happened so fast that she wondered when he turned, unsheathed his sword and maintained his stand, but all she knew was that in seconds, she already had a sword on her neck and it was his.

"Wow! Wow! Calm down master, we both know that you are stupid and love being an idiot but," she gave a loud fake laugh, he raised a brow at her. "We shouldn't put a sword to it, I mean, I didn't do anything to you, did I?" She said nervously but put up a tough front.

The guy just kept staring at her like he is a puppet, controlled to do just that. She stared at him tentatively and raised her hand to the sword on her neck in order to push it away.

It seems like that was the only way to make him open his mouth because it was at that moment he opened his mouth to talk, but she already took the sword, and the next thing she knew, she was in the lake.

The person holding the sword flinged her away, she was supposed to do that to the sword but he did that to her?

She managed to raise her head from under the water and let out a loud breath.

"I hate Bakainan," she said in exasperation.

It is only in Bakainan that a sword is so idolized, why on earth did the guy fling her into the water, wasn't she allowed to touch a sword, it is just a sword after all.

She had raised her head from under the water and spat out water, her lungs felt like it was on fire and whoever said that water doesn't hurt?

She felt like she would soon be dead.

"You are prioritizing the sword over the human, how inhumane can you be?"

Have you ever seen a person for the first time and immediately dislike him? You don't know that person from anywhere but as soon as they open their mouth you want to gouge out their eyes and seal their mouth shut, willing them to disappear from your sight, she had many people on that list but this guy tops the list, he is definitely the chosen one.

"Am I supposed to choose you - a lady walking around aimlessly and trespassing - who I don't know which hole she crawled out from, over my beautiful sword which is my best company?" He asked, raising a brow and she stared at him in utter disbelief. "Besides, I didn't fling you into the water,"

"You did," she said with tight jaws, " Is it a crime to touch your sword?" She asked and he looked at her like she was the dumbest person he had ever seen. He had the 'i am done with this nonsense' face on.

He stared at him, shook his head and walked away.

She turned away from his retreating figure to stare at the lake, she was going to tell him when she gets home if she knew who he was, her father would do anything and everything for her, punishing an idiot is not a qualm.

"I see that, you have met him," Someone said behind her and she jumped. She turned to see Lord Gonzafelang standing with his second son, Daviesmane.

"By him, are you talking about that guy?" She asked, pointing to the guy who had walked faraway but they could still see him because nothing was in the way.

"Yes," Lord Gonzafelang said.

"Who is he by the way? He is so rude and annoying,"

"That 'rude and annoying' guy is my brother, Davisgatia." Daviesmane said, glaring at her. She glared back at him, she wondered who asked him to talk.

"Wait.... What?" She said in shock when her brain processed his words, an aghast expression formed on her face.

"What the hell? That is Davisgatia?"

Today is October 14th, my birthday. I returned to New York after months away, dragging my suitcase through the biting wind, but the VIP pickup zone where my husband’s Maybach usually idled was empty. When I finally let myself into our Upper East Side penthouse, I didn’t find a cake or a "welcome home" banner. Instead, I found my husband, Caden, kneeling on the floor, helping our five-year-old daughter wrap a massive gift for my half-sister, Adalynn. Caden didn’t even look up when I walked in; he was too busy laughing with the girl who had already stolen my father’s legacy and was now moving in on my family. "Auntie Addie is a million times better than Mommy," my daughter Elara chirped, clutching a plush toy Caden had once forbidden me from buying for her. "Mommy is mean," she whispered loudly, while Caden just smirked, calling me a "drill sergeant" before whisking her off to Adalynn’s party without a second glance. Later that night, I saw a video Adalynn posted online where my husband and child laughed while mocking my "sensitive" nature, treating me like an inconvenient ghost in my own home. I had spent five years researching nutrition for Elara’s health and managing every detail of Caden’s empire, only to be discarded the moment I wasn't in the room. How could the man who set his safe combination to my birthday completely forget I even existed? The realization didn't break me; it turned me into ice. I didn't scream or beg for an explanation. I simply walked into the study, pulled out the divorce papers I’d drafted months ago, and took a black marker to the terms. I crossed out the alimony, the mansion, and even the custody clause—if they wanted a life without me, I would give them exactly what they asked for. I left my four-carat diamond ring on the console table and walked out into the rain with nothing but a heavily encrypted hard drive. The submissive Mrs. Holloway was gone, and "Ghost," the most lethal architect in the tech world, was finally back online to take back everything they thought I’d forgotten.

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised.

It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.

Nicole had entered marriage with Walter, a man who never returned her feelings, bound to him through an arrangement made by their families rather than by choice. Even so, she had held onto the quiet belief that time might soften his heart and that one day he would learn to love her. However, that day never came. Instead, he treated her with constant contempt, tearing her down with cruel words and dismissing her as fat and manipulative whenever it suited him. After two years of a cold and distant marriage, Walter demanded a divorce, delivering his decision in the most degrading manner he could manage. Stripped of her dignity and exhausted by the humiliation, Nicole agreed to her friend Brenda's plan to make him see what he had lost. The idea was simple but daring. She would use another man to prove that the woman Walter had mocked and insulted could still be desired by someone else. All they had to do was hire a gigolo. Patrick had endured one romantic disappointment after another. Every woman he had been involved with had been drawn not to him, but to his wealth. As one of the heirs to a powerful and influential family, he had long accepted that this pattern was almost unavoidable. What Patrick wanted was far more difficult to find. He longed to fall in love with a woman who cared for him as a person, not for the name he carried or the fortune attached to it. One night, while he was at a bar, an attractive stranger approached him. Because of his appearance and composed demeanor, she mistook him for a gigolo. She made an unconventional proposal, one that immediately caught his interest and proved impossible for him to refuse.

I spent four hours preparing a five-course meal for our fifth anniversary. When Jackson finally walked into the penthouse an hour late, he didn't even look at the table. He just dropped a thick Manila envelope in front of me and told me he was done. He said his stepsister, Davida, was getting worse and needed "stability." I wasn't his wife; I was a placeholder, a temporary fix he used until the woman he actually loved was ready to take my place. Jackson didn't just want a divorce; he wanted to erase me. He called me a "proprietary asset," claiming that every design I had created to save his empire belonged to him. He froze my bank accounts, cut off my phone, and told me I’d be nothing without his name. Davida even called me from her hospital bed to flaunt the family heirloom ring Jackson claimed was lost, mocking me for being "baggage" that was finally being cleared out. I stood in our empty home, realizing I had spent five years being a martyr for a man who saw me as a transaction. I couldn't understand how he could be so blind to the monster he was protecting, or how he could discard me so coldly after I had given him everything. I grabbed my hidden sketchbook, shredded our wedding portrait, and walked out into the rain. I dialed a number I hadn't touched in years—a dangerous man known as The Surgeon who dealt in debts and shadows. I told him I was ready to pay his price. Jackson and Davida wanted to steal my identity, but I was about to show the world the literal scars they had left behind.
