18th Candle Message

But when he falls for Adrian, a brilliant but struggling journalist from the wrong side of the world, his carefully planned life begins to fracture. Defying his controlling parents and the expectations of high society, Eli publicly claims his love for Adrian, igniting scandal, betrayal, and a war between blood and desire. Adrian, unprepared for the spotlight and hunted by Eli’s vengeful ex- fiance, Sabrina, and parents, finds himself caught in a ruthless game where love is currency and secrets can kill. As lies spiral and family legacies are shaken, both men are forced to choose: each other or survival. But when Sabrina fakes a pregnancy and Adrian believes her, Adrian is left heartbroken and betrayed. Now, Eli must uncover the truth before he loses everything… including the only man he’s ever truly loved. And just when it seems like Adrian and Eli have found their way back to each other… Sabrina disappears. But not before leaving behind one final message: “You thought I was finished? I’ve only just begun.”

I lost my eyesight to save Sean Sherman. He had once made a vow in front of everyone, "Rachel Todd, even if you can't see, I will take care of you for the rest of my life." I was deeply moved. I secretly sought out treatment and I kept the recovery of my eyesight a secret as a surprise for him. But on the day I regained my sight, I saw Sean holding his childhood sweetheart, Vivian Cross, in his arms, fooling around with her right in front of me. "You last really long today. Is it because your wife is watching us?" "What do you think? She was the one who bought me these protection products." I understood every word of their sign language. At that moment, my blood ran cold. Suppressing the nausea that was about to overwhelm me, I pulled out my phone and sent a message to the research team that had been inviting me for a long time. I told them yes—I would join their research project. I was going to leave Sean behind and make sure he lived the rest of his life in regret.

Veille’s stunning looks and dark sensuality are apparent to everyone, even from a young age. Born into an aristocratic estate alongside many other children, Veille has very little understanding of his parentage – or even of his purpose – within this opulent place, and all of its seedy clientele… That is, until the dark intentions behind his upbringing are revealed to him as he grows older, and there is little that he, or anyone else, can do to fight against it. Veille’s fortunes change upon his 18th birthday, however, when he takes advantage of a miraculous opportunity to escape from a dreadful fate, along with his two closest friends: a beauty of a woman who is several years beyond him, and a secretive but kind young man closer to his own age. Fleeing from the possessive and vengeful Madam Dro, the owner of the Estate, Veille and his friends must first learn to survive in a world that is totally unfamiliar to them… But soon the three become embroiled in a conflict the stakes of which are higher than even the ancestral Witches of Pulla’ul can fully understand. And Veille – thanks to his strange affinity with the Fae through an experience known only to a few – may just hold the key to undoing an unspeakable evil that is about to be unleashed upon the world. Enter the Greenling.
