Proud

Zaki Delrama was known as a successful businessman at a young age. All his business is legal, so he has nothing to worry about like the business of his childhood friend and beloved Ian Mercado, who is a smuggler. Even though he loves Ian, he still gave him to Nate because Nate is what Ian really wants (must read the story It's Just I Love You.) He would have decided to leave Crown University to forget his childhood love, because that was the only thing he went to CU, but when he and his group were leaving CU, when Sharian Roden's group ambushed them. He overcame Roden's audacity but when he found out that Roden had set fire to his three establishments, he was there to find a way to punish the girl, for her audacity and her fearlessness towards him. Will he tame her, or he will kneel down to ruthless gangster chic? Sharian Roden Indelcio, a woman known for being stubborn, arrogant and ruthless. Just because she is the sister of Stygian Beast lord Stan Elthen Indelcio, she has the courage to hurt, steal and trample others. Stygian's habit of collecting money at any business in Cordova City. Every end of the month Roden travels throughout Cordova City to collect money and property from establishments, bars, clubs, restaurants, hotels and other businesses in the City. If the owners of the establishment do not give money, she destroys or burns the building or establishment that does not pay or give properly ... She is a tyrant and proud, no one can tame her until Zaki Delrama came to punish her!

"Am so hard for you right now." I said to the sexy girl in front of me. "Have sex with me and I will give you lots of money." I added, hoping she would let me have her, instead tears start to stream down her cheek, which made me felt a tug in my heart. "You owe me from last night." I said to her as she looked at me innocently. "What do you mean?" she asked in a low tone, looking down with tears still streaming down her cheek "Did you say how?" I replied to her as I groan, getting more hard as i stare at her big round full boobs. Lizzy Spencer is a definition of man magnet and had a killer body. After loosing her parents at a young age, she has been striving hard to make a living, with alot of problem to solve, but everything took a turn when she met (Don Dawson) Don Dawson, also called The Trillion Dollar Man, he was wealthy, devilishly handsome, and was a bit proud of himself. Don never believed in love, all he does is have a threesome with ladies and do away with them. Love was just a four letter words to him, he only believe in power and money, until he set his eyes on her, and she became his desire. What will happen when the trillion-dollar man finds the same girl who ran away from the club on his private suite? Will he let her go scot-free, or will he make her pay for defiling his bed without his permission?

"Your insecurity is my temptation," I groaned, lowering my head and kissing every one of her exquisite curves. Araceli Serrano — innocent, sheltered, and trapped under the mercy of a cruel stepmother and a venomous stepsister — had no control over her own life. So when she was suddenly handed over in marriage to Matvei Orlov… a man she had never seen, never spoken to, never even dared to imagine — fear became her only companion. He was darkness where she was light. Power where she was powerless. Danger where she had only ever known silence. Thrown into his ruthless world, her insecurities and fragile naivety clashed violently with the cold man she now belonged to. But somewhere between his dominance and her fear… something began to shift. Because the more his dark world tried to swallow her whole, the more it awakened a confidence in her no one had ever seen before. Matvei Orlov — a powerful mafia king, feared, obeyed, and never questioned — was a man carved from ice. Cold. Cruel. Proud to the bone. So when he chose to marry a mere commoner, Araceli Serrano, it wasn’t out of love… It was revenge. A calculated move meant to spite his father and prove that no one — not even blood — could dictate his choices. To him, she was nothing more than a pawn. Soft. Powerless. Easy to control. But Matvei had ruled empires, not innocence. What he never saw coming was this —trying to tame someone so untouched by his dark world… might be the very thing that would drag the mighty Matvei Orlov to his knees.

I thought I knew who I was. I thought I knew what love felt like. Turns out, I didn’t know anything at all. Marvy was supposed to be my forever—until the night he went down on one knee and a stranger’s panties fell out of his pocket. In that moment, the illusion shattered. The man I loved, the life I dreamed of... it all turned to ash. I told myself I’d never fall again. I’d never let anyone close enough to hurt me. But then there was him—Darren Coldridge. Marvy’s older brother. The one they say has ice in his veins and no heart left to break. He scared me from the start. But when his eyes found mine, everything inside me changed. My pulse skipped. My breath caught. My body remembered something my mind refused to admit—I wanted him. I needed him. Now I’m caught between two brothers: one who betrayed me, and one who burns through every wall I’ve built. Marvy says he still loves me. Darren doesn’t say anything at all—but every glance, every touch feels like a promise he’s too proud to speak. And just when I think it’s only about love and lies, I learn the Coldridge family hides secrets far older—and darker—than either of them. Secrets that tie me to them in ways I never imagined. Because some bonds aren’t chosen. They’re written in blood, in moonlight… and in destiny.

It all seemed like a naughty prank at first. You know, the 'disappearing' trick lovers usually pull on each other to see who misses the other most? Yes, that was what Katniss thought at first until months passed and still, Noah was absolutely no where to be found.... Witty, beautiful and bubbly. Just a few adjectives to describe Katniss Costello's interesting and charming character. A young lady who had it all; from affluent parents to wealth and popularity to a quite amazing love life she shared with Noah Rogers, her then soon to be husband. Her life seemed to have come to a shattering halt after reality dawned on her that Noah might never return. She barely talked. Barely smiled. Barely went out, always bed ridden, gloomy and depressed. Void of all emotions. Indeed the shadow of her previous self. Her parents took advantage of the absence of her fiance and deemed it fit to have her married off to a proud, rich and arrogant son of their friend. She strongly opposed to the arranged marriage for few wisps of hope that he might return still laid in her heart. It was the motivation and inspiration she had to wait for him and when he does return, she'd still be here...waiting. When the pressure from her parents was getting too tough and unbearable, she wanted to get rid of it all, get rid of the emotional pain, get rid of the weight that was becoming far to heavy to carry. All she wanted was freedom, but there was only one way to do that... That night, underneath the Blue Moon, standing on the deck above the Ballad River where she wanted to end it all, there she met Asher Holden and that was the onset of her rollercoaster love life.

Catriona Hugh is the weak, overprotected last born of the Hugh family. All her life, she has lived under the shadow of her warrior siblings, unprepared for the dangers of the real world but the real world has other plans for her. Everyone thinks the biggest problem is the enemy clans that plunder the outskirts of their territories and an alliance with the war alpha would solve the problem. So when the war alpha picks Catriona, the weakest wolf to be his mate, Cat must step up and finally shrug off her parent's overprotection to secure the alliance that they need. They couldn't be more different, she is fair where he is dark, small where he is huge, weak where he is strong and while she wears her heart on her sleeve, the war alpha has no heart to give. Caught between pursuing the love of the stone cold War alpha and settling for the easy love offered by his Beta, Catriona must choose and her choice will break one of thr strong proud men. But what if they have bigger problems than enemy clans and frustrated love? For a thousand years, ancient enemies have slumbered and now they rise with one purpose, to get to Catriona and the potent power that lies dormant in her blood. Alpha Kael has never met an enemy he couldn't vanquish, not until the woman he must protect above all else is in danger and he realizes that against ancient enemies, even he may not be enough to protect Cat. With Cat in danger, the alliance is in danger, the entire werewolf communities are in danger and worse, Alpha Kael must face his new greatest fear of losing the woman with enough love to heal the world... and him.

The "just rich" (lower category) Students whose parents neither own a company nor conglomerate but they work under the owners and get paid hugely.... Such students belong in this category. Students wear identity tags which has their names and their categories written on it so it's easy to identify categories. The extraordinarily rich finds it fun to bully the "middle class" and "just rich" The "middle class" takes pleasure in bullying the " just rich" too.
