"Ughenough with the threats, sourpuss." I huffed. He wasn't the only one that was good at giving people funny nicknames. "And in case you don't knowhaving to be in a fake relationship with you is already making life a living hell for me." I dropped my voice to a small whisper just in case anyone was eavesdropping.We were in an open place after all."Speaking of our relationship, I'm not sure if you know who Naomi is but she's already suspecting that something's off so you better do something about it. If you would have listened to me when I told you how ridiculous this idea was then maybe we wouldn't have to be dealing with all of this." My eyes drooped."What are you talking about?" His brows dipped as he took a step back.Oh wow, he couldn't even understand a few words. Who would've thought that he'd be so dumb?"Naomi thinks it's unusual for us to be in a relationship." I drawled with air quotes. "You better do something about it if you don't want people to doubt you." I said sizing him up and I was just leaving when I had barely even taken a few steps and something yanked me back.My back hit the wall, and before I could even process what just happened, a warm hand landed on my waist, fingers pressing just enough to make my breath hitch. My eyes snapped uponly to find Liam's face hovering way too close to mine, his blue eyes sharp and calculating."What" My voice came out weak. Embarrassingly weak."Where do you think you're going, four eyes?" His voice was low, his breath tickling my cheek.My stomach flipped and I swallowed hard. "Liam, what the hell are you doing?"He didn't answer.Instead, he leaned inhis lips nearly grazing my ear.Panic surged through me. He was too close. Way too close."Didn't you just say I should do something about this girl's suspicions?" he murmured, his voice dropping into something almost dangerous.I blinked, confused. "What?"He ignored me completely, his fingers tightening slightly against my waist. "And what better way is there to clear someone's doubt than not giving them room for it?"My heart stuttered and I suddenly became hyper aware of the way we lookedhis body caging me in, my hands pressed flat against the wall, his head dipped low, his mouth close enough that if I moved even an inchOh, crap.~~~~~~Eleanor is a 23-year old woman who was involved in a car accident on her way to her interview.

It all started with a glass of Tequila that Aira thought was orange juice, making her drunk and unknowingly spending a hot night with a handsome young man named Renji Ishikawa. As a result of that night, Aira's life changed drastically, especially when she had to marry Renji Ishikawa, who turned out to be a teenager in his teens. But if she refuses to marry him, Aira is threatened with a lawsuit on charges of sexual harassment against a high school student.How sad it was, how heartbreaking, and feeling like the biggest fool for being in the middle of the wedding of her ex-lover and her best friend."Your drink, Miss," offered a polite waiter, approaching with a tray full of various colours and flavours.She picked a glass of orange drink with a fresh cherry on the rim. Her moon-like eyes stayed fixed on the groom while she drank the beverage until it was empty.Nothing strange happened to the sweet girl for a minute, but suddenly, dizziness struck, and she stumbled as her body swayed.Her delicate hand searched the wall for support, afraid of falling, feeling like she was experiencing an earthquake, and seeing everything around her shake.Feeling too weak to walk, she chose to squat near a large pot close to the ballroom's entrance. People around her watched silently, unwilling to help; some even gossiped about her.She was distressed and needed help, not performing for an audience, yet many still criticized her.Wild imaginings suddenly crossed her mind, wishing for a handsome prince on a white horse to rescue her, like scenes from her childhood anime favourites.But things like that only happened in fairy tales, where the prince would permanently save the princess from the villain's hands. That was how the stories were written. For her, there would never be a prince in her life story. But who would have thought that God would grant such an extraordinary miracle?Among the hundreds of high-class guests, one person approached and tried to offer help after observing her in silence.A handsome young man in a black suit stood right behind her. "Miss, are you alright?" he asked, concerned."Who are you?" she asked, her voice still shaky from crying.The man stood frozen for a moment as though startled by the sight of this stranger but then smiled and extended his hand. "Don't cry here. Let me help you up."She shook her head, her cheeks red, not from embarrassment but from the effects of the drink. "My head is spinning, and I can't walk."The young man raised an eyebrow and smiled. "Alright then."He slipped his arms between her legs and under her body, lifting her, and she was heavy, just as he expected.From afar, the girls began to watch with shocked faces, filled with envy, anger, and jealousy, seeing the young man from the Ishikawa family carrying a girl, rumoured to be Aira Hoshino, the ex-girlfriend of Kairo Kenzaki and the best friend of Mika Kurogane, who were the couple getting married tonight.She rested her head on his shoulder comfortably, inhaling the refreshing scent of mint.Only this handsome young man, like a Greek god, came to her aid, asking about her condition, and now, carrying her out of the party without saying a word."Where is your home?" he asked as he laid Aira, the girl he just met, into the car and fastened her seatbelt."I don't want to go home," she whimpered."Why?" he asked as he sat in the driver's seat."Do you want to comfort me while my heart is broken?" she said, draping her arms around his neck.A grin spread across his handsome face. "How?" he asked, pretending not to know."Stay with me until morning," Aira teased with a playful smile. In the next moment, Aira's lips were captured in his.Slowly, Aira's eyes closed tightly, leading her into a peaceful dream, soaring high into the sky, feeling as if it were real, not just a dream.

A path to supremacy.Yet the deeper I walk, the more I realize this world holds secrets that game had never shown.-----------------Additional tags:[Sword Companion], [Hidden Identity], [Artifact Power], [Slow Reveal], [Secret Society], [Survival]

His lips hovered near her ear, his voice a dark whisper against her skin. "You may fear me, little bride, but I will teach your body to crave me to need me, until I am all you ever want."---Belle was never meant to be the bride. But when her parents cried to her about how her beautiful sister could not be married to such a man, she was forced to take her sister's place. To prevent war between the two worlds of humans and vampires, the kings decided to sign a peace treaty with a marriage, but the only man they could offer for this marriage was a vampire said to be mad and completely heartless. When they said heartless, they meant really heartless, but Belle, being a naive girl her whole life, had no idea what she was stepping into by agreeing to this marriage.At first, he appeared innocent, a man completely opposite to all the rumors around him, until she slowly began to realize every single thing said about the mad vampire was true, or perhaps even worse! He was a man who walked in the path of darkness. He knew no light and showed no mercy, even to those who were not his enemies. He had no heart to love, no emotions but dark ones to feel for anything or anyone. But all of a sudden, when he set his eyes on her, he decided he wanted to keep her, and Belle's naive world began to take a different turn because the mad vampire was hellbent on tainting her innocent soul.Expect"Now, can we forget this happened and enjoy the night?" He arched an amused brow at her, making Belle's heart drop to her stomach as she recalled the so-called wedding night.She hurriedly pulled away from him, her face flaming with embarrassment. From everything she had heard about this night, she was not ready to experience it with this man. The women whispering about it in Mr. Marchant's shop had said one would hate their husband's presence after it and be disgusted by the act. It was not an act meant for pleasure for any woman but torture.Now that she realized her husband would do the same with her, she swallowed hard and nervously clutched her dress. "I...I am not feeling well, My Lord, I""Rohan," he cut her off with a tone of amusement. "Use my name when you address me, sweetheart. You looked quite energetic when you tried to go after the ring for someone who isn't feeling well, but," he sighed softly, "I've always been a generous man. I won't let you stress yourself tonight."Belle began to sigh in relief and smile in her mind that he wouldn't push her for the wedding night ceremony. She was even about to part her lips and agree that he was indeed generous and even offer him a thank you when he continued to speak, causing the momentary relief to be replaced by dread."I will pamper you tonight, and you won't have to lift a hand. I will give you all the pleasure since you are feeling unwell. Take it as the first lesson in my plan to make you forget love and welcome lust.""...!""Lie on the bed for me, Isa."Belle felt her throat go dry at that strict command."I...I..." She began but could not find any words to say to make him spare her tonight. What had she got herself into? Belle thought as a pit seemed to form in her stomach, a deep, gnawing dread."Do you need me to carry you to the bed, or would you rather walk there yourself?" Rohan questioned with dark mirth in his voice and eyes as he watched her like a hawk. He could tell she was nervous, but what to do? She had brought herself into his world.Belle began to walk slowly to the bed at a snail's pace, as if delaying it would help prevent the dreadful act from happening tonight. She could feel him following closely behind her. When she reached the bed, she used her shaky hands to move the drapes aside and carefully sat at the edge of it, her hands folded nervously on her lap. She felt his piercing gaze on her, but she dared not look up at him."Lie down," he ordered softly.MATURE CONTENT, NO RAPE!!
