Grand Duchess Tatiana

After fleeing from an orphanage that was the source of constant torment, you find yourself in the land of dragons, the most feared and merciless beings around. You count down the days until you are an adult and can run away. You thought that you caught a break when you were offered a job in the palace until you learned that you were working for the Royal Trio, group of 3 brothers who torment you. However, your life takes an unexpected turn during the Trio's Grand Ceremony, a coming-of-age party where dragons learn their destiny and mate. Does your life improve or spiral more out of control when your tormentors' eyes become fixated on you?

On my way to the bank, I stumbled across a post: [What's the most shameful thing you've done behind your partner's back?] One comment stood out: [I secretly married my first love, and my girlfriend keeps dumping money into our joint account like an idiot. She actually thinks I'm saving for a house. There's already sixty-seven grand in there. Once she hits eighty, I'm taking it all!] The flood of likes made my stomach twist. I pulled up my account balance. Sixty-seven grand. Not a penny more, not a penny less. So, my boyfriend secretly married his ex.

"Kenapa Tuan Marco sangat baik padaku? Menuruti semua yang aku katakan, dan selalu mengatakan kalimat-kalimat manis. Apakah anda... Sebenarnya menyukai saya?" - Gisela. "Jika iya, salah? Kita adalah suami istri. Kamu harus belajar mencintaiku. Karena... Aku tidak akan melepaskanmu." - Marco. Demi membantu Lukas, lelaki yang begitu Gisela cintai, menjadi seorang Duke, Gisela mengorbankan segalanya. Namun, setelah Lukas berhasil menduduki singgah sana tertinggi di Kadipaten Elysium, Lukas malah membuang Gisela, mencampakkan Gisela layaknya sampah, seakan perjuangan Gisela selama 3 tahun, tak berharga. Hanya karena, Gisela tak berasal dari kalangan bangsawan. Tidak pantas bergelar Duchess of Elysium. Wanita berusia 23 tahun dengan nama lengkap Gisela Anne George, bahkan harus rela melihat sang pujahaan hati menikah dengan putri dari bangsawan elit, yang dulu dianggap Lukas sebagai 'Adik'. Namun, belum sempat Gisela meratapi nasibnya yang malang, seorang pria bangsawan kelas atas, bernama Eloseos Marcolande Louzy, atau yang kerap disapa Tuan Marco, seorang tentara dengan pangkat Kolonel. Mengajaknya menikah, dengan alasan ingin membantu Gisela membalas perbuatan Lukas, yang merupakan kakak Marco sendiri. Akan tetapi, Gisela juga harus membantu Marco memecahkan misteri meninggalnya kakak pertamanya yang terkesan ditutup-tutupi oleh Lukas dan ibunya. Kesepakatan pun terjalin. Keduanya menikah, meski Lukas dan ibunya sangat menentang dan membenci Gisela yang notabene hanya wanita biasa, yang tak memiliki darah bangsawan. Apakah keduanya bisa mewujudkan tujuan dari pernikahan mereka? Atau justru terlena dengan kenikmatan sebuah pernikahan, dan memilih melupakan luka mereka?

Being discarded by my family and betrayed by my fiancé and step-sister was not the dream future I wanted. This was supposed to be a grand alliance between the two packs. But I was cornered in anger by this betrayal. Until I had to leave and decided to be more flexible, that night's meeting became the starting point of an unexpected future. Yes, just like the time, I couldn't scream anymore, and only tears of pleasure fell down my cheeks. "Uh, I'm close." So close that I didn't realize if we would look at each other again later. Not on the bed, but on the desk. "Damn, I keep imagining how he moves on top of me." Now, how could I work as his secretary with such a dirty mind?

After my 99th confession, my childhood best friend, Michael Leight, finally says yes. I am overjoyed, believing that my years of unrequited love have finally paid off. But when I walk past the pantry, I overhear him speaking tenderly to our family chef, Tahlia Duvey. "Once I take everything from the Kingstons, I'll kick that idiot Ariel to the curb and throw us a grand wedding. Everything here will be yours." My heart feels like a sword has been plunged into it. That night, I storm into Grandpa's study and point at a photo of the Gordon family's heir—Charles, known for always keeping his distance from women. "Grandpa! I want to marry him!" I announce.

After five years with Mark—the soon-to-be Alpha who promised her love, loyalty, and a future as his Luna—Winny's world crumbles in one cruel night. At a grand ceremony, he publicly announces his engagement to Becky, her sister who had only just returned after disappearing for years. Betrayed, cast aside by her adoptive family, and framed for a crime she didn’t commit, Winny is left with nothing... except a scar from the kidney she was forced to give away—and a mountain of debt. But a chance encounter with the powerful and elusive Alpha King sparks a forbidden connection that refuses to fade. If she can't have Mark’s love, she'll earn the heart of someone far greater—his uncle and most admired Alpha King.

For sweet and innocent Adriana , life was nothing but a walk through the park. That was, until she turned 18. Adriana feared for this day her whole life, but it was finally time to face them as so many women in her family has done in the past. It was the day for her to attend the Revendal, an annual Grand Ceremony which was held for none other than the pure blood, Draven Cruz. Not only was he famous for his good looks but his temper was well-known among the vampires and the humans as well. And now? It was time for him to choose himself a keeper from the ceremony and Adriana silently prays that she wasn't the one. But what happens if he does take a sudden interest in her? Does a human really stand a chance with a vampire?

“Who would have thought goody two shoes Tatiana Olivera is a nasty sl*t who fantasies about f*ck*ng her step brother?” Hasan continues his teasing. He inserts in middle finger in my mouth and I greedily s*ck on it, picturing it to be his c*ck. Hasan’s mouth parts open, his brows cresting as he watches me s*ck his middle finger like a kid sucking on a candy cane. I frowned when he pulled out his middle finger. He grabs my chin with a fierceness that sent me on edge. “Open your mouth.” He orders and I obey. He takes in a deep breath as though calming himself and before I knew it, hot liquid drops into my mouth. Did.. did he just spit in my mouth? It tastes divine. It tastes like him. And I want more. “Swallow.” I meet his gaze as I gulp down his saliva. A proud smile appears on his face. “There’s my good little sl*t.” ***** I hate Hasan Olivera. I can’t stand him. The way he walks into the room like he owns the place, the smug smirk that says he already knows what I am thinking. He’s insufferably cocky, sharp-tongued, insanely hot and fully aware of it. And those eyes? Dark, knowing, endlessly amused by the fact that, no matter how much I pretend otherwise, I’m completely drawn to him. I want him to f*ck me. I want him to claim me. I want him to be mine because I belong to him. But he's my step brother. And I hate my step brother. -------

My boyfriend Julian is a chess grandmaster, a genius. At sixteen, he became the youngest grandmaster in North American history. I gave him ten years of my life, but a ring was never on the table. But when he reached the pinnacle of his career and won the Grand Slam, he still refused to break the pact he'd made with his family about his career. "According to my plan, I'm not considering marriage or any other form of long-term commitment until all my goals are achieved." I didn't argue with him. I quietly packed his luggage for the World Championship and wished him the best. He had no idea that at the very moment he was lifting the championship trophy with the world watching, I was dragging my failing body to sign my own name on a euthanasia consent form.

“Look it over,” he said. “Take a few days. Or don’t. But if you do say yes…” He paused, eyes gleaming like he already knows my answer. “Then what?” I asked. “Then welcome to hell, Mrs. Montgomery.” Kaelia Bennett, a quick-witted guest service representative at the Montgomery Grand, agrees to pose as her influencer best friend Lilyanna Russo on a blind date with the State’s most eligible bachelor to sabotage it, only to face her billionaire hotel magnate boss, Freddy Montgomery. He proposes a fake engagement to disrupt a merger. As Kaelia struggles to balance her double life, forbidden sparks, and a cascade of secrets - her hidden Montgomery lineage, a vengeful ex, corporate fraud, and a mob-linked arson, will she save the hotel empire and her heart or will she be swallowed by it all?
