Exclusive Love Romance 웹소설 & Artist 스토리

Five years ago, Rosalie Hayes disappeared while Adrian Mercer lay unconscious in a hospital bed. The only thing she left behind was a medical report saying they had lost their baby. Now Rosalie is back in New York with a secret Adrian can never be allowed to uncover. Her plan is simple: make her billionaire ex believe she still wants him, get what she came for, and return to Paris before he starts asking questions she cannot answer. Adrian knows she has an agenda from the moment she smiles at him. He just has no intention of letting her use him and disappear again. “I only want one night,” Rosalie tells him. Adrian’s gaze drops to her lips. “Then marry me first.” Rosalie thought she could seduce the man she left five years ago. She never expected him to demand forever.

When a leaked single threatens to end her career, pop star Rhea Santiago is forced into a PR-engineered relationship with Cole, a guarded ghostwriter secretly paying off a debt he refuses to explain. Their contract has strict rules, no real feelings, cameras only, an end date, but forced proximity turns performance into something neither of them planned for. Behind it all is Evelyn Cross, the label president’s wife, who discovered Rhea years ago and believes she still owns her success; Cole’s carefully buried past turns out to be tangled in Evelyn’s control too, and unraveling it costs both of them dearly before they can trust each other for real. What follows is decades, not months: marriage, children shaped by the wounds Rhea and Cole carry from their own childhoods, the identity crisis of loving someone whose fame or usefulness threatens to swallow you whole, and the slow work of becoming parents neither of them had. When Cole is finally diagnosed with a terminal illness, the book’s real question comes due, not whether love can defeat death, but whether Rhea can survive losing him and still call her own life whole. She does. Not because he saved her, but because he helped her discover she could save herself.

The more she resists the tighter his grip becomes. The more he tries to control her the more she fights. She must survive twelve months in his world without falling for him. He must survive twelve months without telling her why he really chose her. One year. One contract. One kiss that will ruin everything.

Stephanie had never known the warmth of a family. Abandoned as an infant and raised in an orphanage, she watched every child around her find a home while she remained behind. Even after turning eighteen, when adoption was no longer possible, she stayed to care for the younger children, becoming the kind-hearted guardian everyone loved. With determination and faith, she eventually stepped into the world, hoping to build a life of her own. Despite her education and relentless job search, rejection followed her everywhere. After months of hardship, a church gave her a temporary job as a cleaner, allowing her to save enough money to rent a tiny apartment. Just when she believed life was beginning to improve, one desperate attempt to apply for a job at a luxurious celebrity hotel changed everything. After escaping a corrupt manager who tried to exploit her, Stephanie accidentally ran into the room of Kai Ray—the world's biggest music sensation and sole heir to a billion-dollar empire. Drugged without his knowledge at a party, Kai mistook Stephanie for someone else, leading to a night that left both their lives shattered. Determined to put the nightmare behind her, Stephanie refused Kai's money, refused publicity, and refused to ever meet him. But two months later, she discovered she was carrying his child. Haunted by guilt and desperate to take responsibility, Kai respected her wish to stay away while quietly ensuring she and their unborn baby were safe. Yet as secrets, media scandals, and painful truths threaten to expose them, the distance between them becomes harder to maintain. Can a woman who has spent her entire life longing for a family learn to trust again? And can a superstar burdened by guilt prove that love is more than fame, wealth, or regret?
