Everyone thought he was just a spoiled brat who flirted with anyone because he had a powerful father who could give him all the luxuries in life. Contrary to what most people know, Acadia was just a lost soul eager to find love and peace within her. He is a flying eagle, complete with wings and at the peak but he does not know what for and what is the reason of his life. She thought she could tame him, but the guy has it's own principles in life. A man hard to reach and unworthy of his kind. Meeting Seigneur was one of her plans but falling in love with him isn't. She thought that her love for him would save her from her grief but the man only doubled her suffering.

Owned By The Duke Literatures Chapter 1 preparing dinner

Chapter 1

I was burning up while preparing dinner, I want the best for him. The best thing i could ever give as his wife even if there is nothing left of me.

Even in the chaotic world I came from, I still learned to love more than I could give.

More than myself.

I heard his car parked in the garage so I quickly went to the living room to greet him with a kiss.

"Seigneur.." I greeted my husband with a smile.

"Babe!" The woman shouted while carrying the expensive paper bags.

It was obviously from the mall and my husband took it for a walk.

"Yes, hurry up." He ignored me and helped the woman carry her things.

I just bowed and went to the kitchen while talking.

"Dinner is ready." I contained my tears, no I shouldn't cry here.

Not in front of him.

He just looked at me coldly and asked Lian to sit down. He still supported it and peeled the meat.

He takes good care of her, something he never did to me.

"Babe, I want juice." Lian asked and my husband quickly took a pitcher and poured it into a glass.

I was about to turn away, I can't contain my tears anymore. The scene is breaking my heart.

"Stay here Cecelia! Suffer! Does it feel good?!" My scornful husband hums like he's overjoyed to see me struggling.

I held tightly to my hand that was burning because of cooking.

I'm used to this, it shouldn't hurt like this anymore. But it seems like every day it gets worse and worse as if I will be swallowed by so much sadness.

I even heard the two of them laughing while happily eating.

I haven't eaten yet.

My stomach hurt but I just endured it. I'll eat bread later.

"Fix our room, you and Lian can sleep there, sleep on the sofa first." He even held Lian's hand while saying this.

I just bowed and went to my husband's room.

As soon as I was at the door, I started to cry but I just wiped it away and started to move away.

"Cecelia, it's me..." I looked at Nana Loling.

He suddenly hugged me and caressed my back so I couldn't control my emotions anymore.

"Stop..." He comforted me so I felt a little better.

"Thank you..." I told him and we started to make arrangements.

She witnessed everything, everything that happened in this house, my husband's belittling and hurting me.

Well, I deserve this. I guess this is the result of all the sacrifices I made.

You can't really cover a mistake with another mistake, the payoff is greater.

Nanny went out and I was the only one left, I was about to walk out when Seigneur and Lian arrived.

I just bowed and was about to leave when Seigneur stopped me.

"Watch." He grabbed my hair and threw me on the floor. I groaned at the pain of my scalp but I don't think anything would hurt more than the soft and fragile diamond scene if Seigneur treated his partner more than my wife.

He's making love with her and he never made love with me. If there is, it is only because of lust.

"She's a virgin unlike you! Any man who hits on you has already been used!" The husband's speech while inserting his penis into the woman.

Lian was moan!ng and it ripped my heart into pieces. Gathering all my might, I ran out of the house while crying and crushed.

Despite the fact that he repeatedly bullied me, I still love him. Despite all the pain, I still can't leave him.

I went to the garden and lay down on the grass. My heart sank and I just wanted to cry. It's like this, I'm not used to it.

"Yes, I'm no longer v!rg!n when we first..." I whispered to myself while sobbing.

You don't know anything...you don't know everything..

I thought my life would change when you came, I thought the weight I was carrying would be reduced, I thought you would save me from the nightmare I was trying to escape from.

I bit my lower lip, I feel like I'm going to run out of breath because of that.

It's here again...

My anxiety...

All the memories, all the piggish and hurtful words come back to my mind. I held my chest because of the intense pain I felt, I can no longer take it.

"My God! Cecelia, you're bleeding!" I just heard Nana Loling scream before I passed out.

Flashback

I feel that I have been deprived of happiness in this world. Bitterness and pain always, how long will I be like this.

"D-dad!" Only my moans and cries can be heard in the four corners of the room.

"Ghhmm..." My own father is moaning as he reached his cl!max, maybe he's already satisfied with his anmila to me.

My heart almost broke, I was crushed and disgusted with myself. My tears fell one after the other as I looked at the ceiling of my own room. A place that was supposed to be my refuge and resting place but I can't see any good memories but pain, brokenness and hatred.

He slapped my cheek and I could feel the pain.

Full of hatred I looked at my acknowledged father, the first man who would have protected me and be my support but he was the first to destroy my entire humanity.

He grabbed me by the hair and dragged me so I fell onto my own bed, feeling like my back was broken because of that.

He slapped me again so that the corner of my lips bled.

"I told you, didn't I? Fix it if you don't want your mother to kill you." I closed my eyes when I heard, my tears flowed again. My body is numb because of what he did.

I looked at him, pleading. I don't know if he loved Mommy or me or even considered us family.

"I'm s-sorry D-dad.." He tightened his grip on my hair and choked me.

"You don't have a s!lb¡ ! You're inul! What I'm asking you to do is so easy, just get better at that Leicestershire but you haven't done it yet!" His voice echoed in the four corners of the room and he strangled me even more. I feel like I'm going to suffocate because of that.

Mommy attended me while whimpering and trying to stop Daddy's hands that were choking me.

Daddy elbowed Mommy so she was holding her stomach because of the pain. I got out of Daddy's stranglehold using my remaining strength and I succeeded and attended to Mommy right away, I feel my body is numb but I can't bear to see my mother in pain.

"You're fat! It's useless to be sloppy! Fix it, seduce Seigneur Abreo Leicestershire! Do anything and everything, even if you sell your soul and body to him, I don't care. If I lose the election I'll kill you both! You understand!" His eyes were glazed over, he even stomped on me so that I moaned.

My vision is blurry, my whole body is hurting, but the pain caused by hating the man is more dominant, which is why my mother and I are suffering.

I just felt Mommy caressing my face and the successive drops of her tears accompanied by soft sobs.

"Stay, Mommy, I promise you...I promise that we will also be free from him...that day will come...I promise.." I was crying and hugging Mommy, it seems that there is no more it will hurt even more to see him struggling.

She's been through a lot, the scene has been like this since I was a child.

When I turned 7 years old, I was raped by my own father, repeatedly hurt when I made a mistake. He controls my life, I can't do anything, he is powerful and looked up to so I have nothing against him.

I wiped the tears that rolled down my cheeks. Putting concealers to hide everything, to hide those bruises especially the marks of his kiss.

I was disgusted with myself, I just wanted to take a knife and if possible, cut the parts that his lips touched.

I was dressed again as if nothing lewd and nothing profanity had happened.

Mommy quietly helped me put on the gown that Daddy was making me wear. I don't know if he still deserves to be called father despite all the things he did to me and Mommy.

My mommy was quiet as if she was deep in thought, but when she looked at me, she tried to smile.

"Everything will be fine Mommy, I promise." I don't know where I got the courage to be positive even though I know there is no hope for our life to be okay.

Mommy just nodded and gave me a kiss on my forehead.

I fixed it quickly because I don't want Daddy to get angry again and he can blame us again. I accept that I am the one he will pity but I can't bear to see my mother in pain.

She's to precious to me, the only person who made me feel loved and accepted in spite of everything and because of so much insult and trauma, mommy could no longer speak and became mute.

She can no longer handle it emotionally and if it wasn't for me, she might have ended her life a long time ago or might not have escaped from my father's mess.

I got into the car and found my personal driver there. Yes, I look very stylish and very rich from the outside. Everyone looks up to me because I was the only daughter of Mayor Amolo Leona and not because I am Cecelia.

Because of my father's name that is attached to me, many respect and have sympathy.

We quickly left the mansion, I was silent and depressed. I don't know how I manage to be so good despite everything, I'm already very good at this field.

Hypocrisy in front of the majority.

When I got there, I went down, I was wearing a black dress that was almost close to my body. It's a tube and my rich breasts are very visible, when I bend down I can see that I'm too short. It exposes my curves, especially my plump butt and my beautiful curves. I'm shrinking myself but there's nothing I can do, I'd rather be like this than get beaten up by Mommy.

I uncomfortably entered. All the cameras were focused on me, the others were there and you could see the obscenity in your eyes. I just sped up to walk even though I almost tripped because my shoes had very high heels.

When I got inside, my eyes looked for Daddy, he was talking to his fellow politicians and others who were famous and big businessmen.

It's my first day of school as a simple student of MU. This school is very popular and only rich students can afford to study here. I'm also one of them, being rich is very frustrating because your parents always put pressure in you so you don't have a choice but to do what they say and meet the standards they want because of the reason they're always saying it's good for you, good for you my ass!. "Mira!" she said to me sapphire. She's my best friend since I was grade 7 "What? Is there any gossip?” I open here "It's terrible! but have you heard?" it's gossip "Which one was heard?" I answered "The 5 handsome sons of the owner of this school will be going to transfer here" This is a story that makes me frown. Why is he telling me this story? what do I care? psh! "Uh okay" I replied bored here "Okay? that's all?" it whined "Why? what do you want me to sa-" What I was about to say was interrupted by the laughter of the entire student body in the incoming black Ferrari car. 'omg they're here' 'hey, look at me, am I beautiful?' I saw their picture in there old school and they're all handsome I heard a whisper so sapphire and I stopped walking "I think they're here" said the person next to me, she looks excited like others The men got out of the Ferrari more and more because I covered my ears "oh boys, you're finally here" met immediately by the dean, I stared at them and I can't deny the fact that they really had good faces, handsome indeed huh! I was staring at the idiot next to me, so I immediately elbowed him, causing him to return to the correct posture "ses ampopogi nga" it screamed my gosh my ears hurt "do you know them?" I asked here "Of course, I'm a fan of those guys" he answered which made me wince, really a fan? It's a good thing as long as there's no mistake. And it started to teach and introduce men "That's Javier, he's the eldest among them" he pointed to the man in a white polo tucked into his black pants, he was wearing specs and his hair was brushed up and his face was emotionless. "It's hard to joke because you might be embarrassed because you'll be the only one laughing," Sapphire added "Larsen is the second one of them" he pointed to the man wearing a black plain shirt and black jogger pants with matching black shades who looked as if he had died. "That's really weird, he likes it because it's black, and it's been talked about that it's quiet, but it's the devil's behavior" he added because I seem to wince at the color of his clothes because it's all black, are you stupid? "That's Xavier, he's the third one, just be careful, he's a bad boy and it's been rumored that he's always full of guidance in the states. He's always a bully, whether it's a boy or a girl, I bet he'll find a target now." He pointed to the man who looked like anytime. puncher He's wearing a black vest and ripped jeans with black boots and also has tattoos on his shoulder "hey, I'll just pray for that next target" Sapphire whispered, he looks like a bad boy and he looks arrogant as well as it makes the blood boil. "That's Keirson" he pointed to the man wearing a black shirt with a layered leather jacket. He's also wearing ripped jeans and has Peirce in his left ear and lower lip. "That's the f*ck boy, many people have complained about states that she got pregnant and this is it! It is rumored that he raped someone because the girl didn't want to have sex with him, so I agree. Just be careful with him because he will make your life miserable when he cheats on you." "And lastly that's Keiron, keirson's twin brother they're the youngest among their pacts" he pointed to the smiling man who looked like he was wearing a shirt, he was wearing a white printed shirt dark blue jeans with matching white sneakers and specs "He's the kindest among them, that's a smile and I know what's causing his twin to panic, that's what made him so nice, he's happy to talk to me" im just looking at the five man's talking to dean and doesn't even notice that they're already walking. I'm just looking at them suddenly when the guy named Xavier bumped my shoulder causing me to look at him and mouthed "target unlock" and then he smirked that gave shivers to my spine

On the day Aki was diagnosed with terminal cancer, but his husband, Ethan Montifalco, was taking care of his first love's children. In the hospital corridor, His Doctor Keith Santos said grimly while holding a biopsy report, "Aki, the results are out. If the surgery is successful, your survival rate is 15 to 30 percent." Aki held her bag tightly. Her Little face was pale and solemn. "Keith, how long will I live if I don't have surgery?" "Six months to a year. It's different for everyone. In your case, it's better to do two rounds of pre-therapy first before the surgery. It will prevent the risk of spreading or undergoing metastasis." Aki bit his lip while forcing out, "Thank you." "Don't thank me. I'll arrange for you to be admitted to the hospital right away," Keith said. "There's no need. I don't plan to get treatment. I can't take it anymore," Aki said. "me" Keith wanted to say something more, but Aki tipped his head at him. "Keith, please help me keep this a secret. I don't want my family to worry." The Ford family went bankrupt. Aki had to bend over backwards just to cover her father's medical expenses. If his family knew about his illness, they would no doubt be worried about his situation. Keith sighed helplessly and said, "Don't worry. I'll keep my lips sealed. I heard that you're married. Your husband—" "Keith, please take good care of my dad. I have to go now." Aki seemed very reluctant to talk about this and left quickly before he could answer. Keith shook his head. Rumor had it that he had dropped out of university and secretly married. The top genius in medical school had fallen from grace into devastation. Throughout the two years of his father's treatment, he was the only one who took care of everything. Even when he had collapsed from illness and was sent to the hospital by passersby, but his rumored husband had never shown up. Thinking back, Ethan had truly treated him well in the year they had gotten married. Alas, when his first love returned to the country, everything changed.

"Okay, shhhh papa Rus is here, don't cry baby." "Papa Rus, dada and papa Zach are missing.." cried one of the twins. "Okay, I'll find them okay?" He nodded while wiping away the tears. I really need to find them, especially my Sail. "Stay here and don't ever go out okay?" I kissed them both on the forehead before leaving. I never thought that one of our enemy's men would be able to shoot me, I was shot in the shoulder. I saw Sail on the side, he was sitting with his yellow hands covering his ears, I look at Zach who is fighting Helvet, our enemy. I first shot the gun at the person standing next to me, it hit him right. "Sail! Shhh let's go!" I tried to pull it but he didn't want to leave Zach. "No! Zach, Zach is here I won't leave him!" I sighed and carried him in a bridal style, it was struggling but I was strong, I lowered it to where the twins were hiding. "Please Rus, bring Zach back." I slowly nod even though feeling a heavy feeling inside my chest. He loves Zach. I went to the devil who was shooting a while ago. "Zach! Let's go!" I called here during the shooting, when he saw me he yelled at me angrily. "F*ck you left them?!" He responded angrily to me. "Sail wants me to go back with you so shut up!" I left there to go to Sail but then... Helvet... he was holding the twins while Sail was lying on his chin, Sail is dead... and my son in his tummy... my son.. yes Sail is pregnant with my child.

It's my first time here! Admins will approve, hehe. As soon as I entered the mansion, someone immediately threw an egg at my face. I gasped and wiped my face in disbelief. And later someone rode behind me and bit the other side of my shoulder. "AHH! Oh my! It hurts!" "Good heavens! Marcus and Maria! Let him go!" "No! She's an intruder." The children did not stop me and continued to trouble me. I almost cried. I just got my hair done and rebonded. I thought it must be required that you have a beautiful mother, I didn't know that now I'm haggard. "Enough." Came a cold voice from the top of the stairs. We all looked up at the man together. And I'm not going to lie, he's handsome! Is he the father of the children who will be my children? If it's true, he's literally daddy. yum Char. "She's your mom." "What?" Everyone with me was shocked and so was I. Everyone fell silent and we watched as the tall man walked toward us. And I just caught my breath when he came next to me and suddenly pulled me by the waist towards him. My eyes widened and I didn't know what to do. And the man made me even more nervous when he brought his lips to my ear. "Do your work properly," He said in a deep voice. I swallowed and nodded to myself. That's right. I'm gonna be a mom. I'm a mom. Even though I was nervous, I stood up straight and faced the man. And he looked like he was caught off guard when I suddenly grabbed both of his cheeks and pressed him with a kiss. "I miss you, baby." Wait.. Did I do the right thing? "Merciful heaven!"

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

Hayley was betrayed by those who should have loved her most. To save their precious adopted daughter from a punishment she deserved, her own parents sent Hayley straight into a living hell—an infamous prison where survival demanded cruelty, and weakness meant death. Four years later, the girl who had entered those iron gates no longer existed. She emerged with a single, unbreakable rule carved into her soul: Every betrayal would be repaid tenfold. The day she walked free, the world trembled. A convoy of luxury cars lined the road. A legion of loyal followers awaited her triumphant return. Her father tried to buy her silence with money. But money had long lost its power over her. Her adopted sister hid behind sweet words and false kindness. But empty smiles no longer fooled her. Everything that had once been stolen would be reclaimed—piece by piece. When her parents attempted to tie themselves to the city's most feared man by offering their adopted daughter, Hayley's lips curved into a cold smirk. "Not on my watch." Backed by a legendary hacker, shadowy allies, and an entire prison willing to burn the world for her, Hayley dismantled her enemies with terrifying precision. Then the tyrant noticed her. "You're interesting," he said. "Be my woman, and the city is yours." Hayley raised an eyebrow, unimpressed. "You want to own me? Survive me first." High society became their battlefield. Power collided with desire. Ambition clashed with obsession. In this ruthless game of dominance and temptation, only one would kneel first. The girl once abandoned in hell rose from its ashes, crowned by fire and vengeance—And in the end, even the most feared ruler in the city would bow, offering his empire to the woman who had conquered both hell… and him.

The Pierre Hotel smelled of old money and stale ambition, but all I could taste was the copper of my own rage. I stood in the back of the ballroom, a "mute" shadow in a silk dress, watching my sister Brande play the grieving saint on stage. She wiped away a fake tear, telling the crowd I was too "unstable" to attend my own engagement party. In reality, I was watching her share a secret, intimate squeeze with my fiancé, Chase Sterling, right under the blinding spotlight. When I finally hit "execute" and projected the video of them together in a hotel suite for the entire elite crowd to see, the room went cold. But the nightmare was just beginning. Instead of apologizing, my father crushed his scotch glass and told me to fix the mess. He demanded I issue a public statement claiming I had a mental breakdown and "hallucinated" the whole thing. "If you don't corroborate the Deepfake story, I'll have you committed to a facility with barred windows," he hissed. Brande just smirked from the corner, mocking me for being a "mute waste of space" who didn't even realize my own trust fund had paid for the diamonds around her neck. I realized then that in this family, silence wasn't a disability—it was a target. They thought because I didn't speak, I didn't have a voice. They thought they could use my silence to bury the truth and save their precious stock prices. They were wrong. I didn't just leak a video; I had the keys to every secret they ever tried to hide. I walked out of that hotel and straight into the black sedan of Julian Curtis, my father’s most ruthless rival and the only man who knew what really happened the night of the blizzard in Aspen. I handed him the encrypted files that would trigger a hostile takeover of my family’s empire. As the city blurred past, I looked at the man who held my future in his hands and typed one final message on my phone. "I'm not here to be saved. I'm here to be the knife."
