Cavern Churn

Welcome to Laoyon, a realm where adventure knows no bounds, and danger lurks in every shadow. This is no ordinary journey—it is a test of survival, where warriors are forged in the crucible of the unknown, and the strongest rise to uncover secrets lost to time. The Tarot World stands at the precipice of change. The Ancient forces—both benevolent and malevolent—stir within its depths. Hidden civilizations, forgotten ruins, and creatures beyond mortal comprehension lie in wait. From towering fortresses overrun by monstrous hordes to labyrinthine dungeons teeming with relics of the past, every step into Laoyon is a challenge—and an opportunity. But Laoyon is not merely a place of peril; it is a living mystery, an enigma woven into the fabric of the Tarot World itself. Forged by three Arcanas through the Power of Creation granted by The Prideful Magician, Laoyon has endured the passage of over 50 thousand years. What was once a mere concept has now become an ever-shifting realm—one of boundless mysteries, perilous challenges, and untapped power, waiting for those brave enough to uncover its secrets. It is said that those who enter will be tested in ways beyond mere combat—that the realm itself recognizes the strength of one's spirit and the depth of one's resolve. Some whisper that Laoyon was once home to an ancient civilization, long vanished, leaving behind cryptic messages and lost knowledge scattered among its ruins. Others believe it to be a forgotten battleground where forces beyond mortal comprehension once clashed, their echoes still lingering in the air, waiting to be unearthed. For those who dare to step forward, Laoyon offers a path unlike any other. You may find yourself traversing dense, fog-covered jungles where unknown creatures stalk from the shadows. You may uncover grand, abandoned cities, their stone halls whispering of a past lost to time. Or perhaps, in the depths of the realm, you will encounter beings unlike any seen before—guardians of an ancient order, protectors of forbidden knowledge, or remnants of the first civilization that once thrived within Laoyon, their presence still lingering in the echoes of history. The brave few who enter this realm will find themselves tested not only against savage beasts and legendary warriors but also against the very forces of nature itself. The storms here do not simply bring rain—they bring illusions, visions of the past, and creatures that slip between the cracks of reality. The rivers do not simply flow—they shift with the tides of magic, carrying secrets to those willing to listen. And deep beneath the earth, in the cavernous ruins of an age long forgotten, the true heart of Laoyon lies waiting to be discovered. But be warned: Laoyon does not welcome all. It is said that only those with the will to defy fate may survive within its depths. Those who hesitate will be lost. Those who falter will be consumed. And those who seek only power without understanding the cost may find themselves facing something far worse than death. This is a world where destiny is shaped by courage, wit, and the relentless pursuit of truth. Whether you seek untold riches, the thrill of battle, or the unraveling of mysteries buried in time, Laoyon offers a journey unlike any other. Here, the strong grow stronger, the wise become legends, and the reckless... vanish without a trace. Prepare yourself for an odyssey of danger and discovery. The portal stands open, the path is uncertain, and the legends of old whisper your name. Will you dare to step forward and claim your place in history? The adventure begins now.

[Warning: Mature Content R18+] The taste of forbidden love is the sweetest agony!! They were fucking right. I, Frery Kane was whipped and captivated by a Lycan Shifter from the Bay Shifter pack in Paradise Bay. Drawn to him like a moth to a flame, an irresistible pull I couldn’t deny. Alpha Tor Gale, a Lycan Shifter of unparalleled strength, only of his kind, his blood as intoxicating as ambrosia, his presence a temptation, I couldn’t escape. He made me crave more than I should or was allowed. In Paradise Bay, Vampires and Shifters are bound by ancient laws, their rivalry etched into the marrow of our existence. To meet him was to defy centuries of hatred; to love him was to risk everything. Each secret meeting was a dance with death, a betrayal of the Paradise Vampire Coven, and a rebellion against the laws that chained us. But Tor was my forbidden desire, my beautiful torment, and my greatest weakness. I knew the cost of this love, a love that could ignite war and destroy us both. But how could I resist the one thing that made my immortal heart beat once more? Excerpt from Alpha Tor's POV: “So you’ve been following me,” Tor’s deep growl echoed in the icy cavern. His golden eyes caught the flicker of torchlight. His breath misted in the freezing air, curling like smoke between them. “What gave me away?” I responded my voice as low, deep, and steady. Tor laughed a deep rumble that shook the cavern walls. “You reek of desperation. Do you think I didn’t notice your scent clinging to the trees? Are your footprints melting the frost? What is it, vampire? What do you want from me?” My jaw clenched and my gaze didn’t waver. “Your blood,” I taunted as my voice was laced with coldness to see if he could be threatened by my words. “Your kind is... intoxicating. Forbidden. I can’t stop myself.” I expected him to cover but he stepped forward and responded “If it’s my blood you want,” he murmured, his voice low and teasing, “then come closer and take what you need” The words struck me like lightning, and a fiery heat surged through my veins. My beast clawed at my control, drawn to him in a way that defied logic. His gaze held mine, and for the first time in my life, I didn’t know whether to run or to stay. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ In the end, they called me a betrayer. A traitor to the Paradise Vampire Coven. But how could I hold back when I had tasted something far sweeter than immortality? Alpha Tor was my forbidden fruit, the Lycan Shifter Alpha who defied everything I was taught to hate. But when I surged forward, ready to face anyone who dared stand between us, fate revealed the old prophecy hidden in Hanka Island. Alpha Tor wasn’t just my lover, he was my lifetime mate, our bond blessed by the ancient magic of Hanka Island itself. And our love was not meant to follow the rules, it was meant to break them.

His wish is granted in an unexpected and perilous way when he is drawn into the mysterious Whispering Woods by a haunting melody. There, he encounters a shadowy figure who reveals that Kael has been chosen by the enigmatic force known as the Shadowbound to wield the power of darkness and prevent an ancient evil from destroying the world.

Along the way, he discovers his latent ability to manipulate shadows, using them as both weapon and shield.

In the distant and mysterious interstellar world, ancient civilizations have faded like a dying candle in the wind, with shattered ruins and lost traditions lingering only in vague historical records. In this era, Dream Forgers, with their powerful mental abilities, construct dreams and engage in fierce battles with dream beasts, becoming revered figures. They are the spiritual backbone of the interstellar world, weaving dreams that connect people to the distant echoes of past civilizations. Lily, a graduate student in dream studies from Earth, found her fate dramatically altered in an unexpected twist. She was transported into the world of an interstellar romance novel, only to become the tragic side character. Despite possessing mental power, her lack of imagination became her fatal flaw in her quest to become a Dream Forger. During the Dream Forger assessment battle, other competitors showcased incredible creativity, with dreams filled with dazzling starlight and wild beasts galloping through fantastical landscapes. However, Lily could only struggle within the confines of her own mind, ultimately being eliminated for her inability to craft dreams. But the story did not end there. After her elimination, Lily did not succumb to despair; instead, she awakened in the face of adversity. As the curtain rose on the interstellar dream streaming battle, a legendary journey that would the entire interstellar world began. During the Beast Summoning Exam, while other competitors summoned common interstellar pets to engage in standard battles with dream beasts, Lily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In an instant, a gigantic flying beast appeared out of nowhere, casting a shadow that seemed to cover the entire sky. With its wings spread wide, it looked as though it could tear the universe apart, and with each beat, the winds and clouds shifted. The interstellar audience was left speechless, their gasps of amazement echoing through the air. Lily smiled gently, silently reciting an ancient verse: "The great roc rises with the wind, soaring to ninety thousand miles in a single day." Then, in the vast sea of stars, the mythical creatures Xuanwu and Tengshe emerged, their massive forms churning the waters as if telling the tales of ancient myths. Amidst the swirling clouds, the Azure Dragon weaved through them, sometimes summoning rain and clouds, nourishing the mysterious dream world. And upon an ancient phoenix tree, a phoenix sang loudly, surrounded by fierce flames, its rebirth through fire a magnificent sight that left all who watched in awe. The interstellar people had never witnessed such a strange and culturally rich dreamscape. For a moment, the entire interstellar network erupted in a frenzy of excitement.

Amidst the eerie silence of an unfamiliar hall, a cacophony of confused voices rose, mingling in a chorus of bewilderment. "Where are we?" "What happened?" "I thought I died!" Each utterance hung in the air, a testament to the collective disbelief gripping the room. As the haze of confusion lifted, disjointed memories surfaced, fragments of lives cut short by tragedy. "I remember... I was stabbed..." ventured one voice, echoed by another's affirmation of a similar fate. "I... I died in a plane crash," muttered a third, only to be met with a stunned agreement from a fellow survivor. Amidst the chaos of bewildered voices, one man stood apart, his expression a mask of contemplation amidst the turmoil. As his companions recounted their brushes with death, his mind churned with questions, each more confounding than the last. "I got shot... I remember it vividly," he murmured to himself, his voice barely audible above the din. "So how am I still here?" The enigma of their shared resurrection gnawed at him, compelling him to seek answers in the depths of his memories. With each revelation of a paired demise—a male and female, bound by the same tragic fate—a flicker of recognition ignited within him. "This... this seems familiar," he mused, the pieces of a puzzle slowly coalescing in his mind. But the picture remained incomplete, obscured by the fog of uncertainty that shrouded their surroundings. As the words "pairs, pairs, pairs" echoed in his mind like a cryptic mantra, a sudden realization struck him with the force of a revelation. "It can't be... don't tell me..." he whispered, his voice trembling with disbelief. With a sense of urgency, he began to scan his surroundings, searching for any sign or clue that could confirm his suspicions. Then, as if guided by an unseen force, his gaze shifted upwards, and there, bathed in an ethereal light, stood an angelic figure with golden apparel, its gaze fixed upon him with a warm smile. The sight took his breath away, filling him with a mixture of awe and trepidation. The man's heart raced as faced a real angel, his mind struggling to comprehend the surreal encounter unfolding before him. The angel's words, spoken with an air of amusement, only deepened the enigma shrouding their meeting. "I never expected anyone to notice me," the angel remarked, a hint of playfulness in its voice. "I was concealing my presence to let everyone fully calm down, but to think someone noticed me. Just who are you?" Ethan's disbelief and confusion intensified at the angel's question. "Eh... Ethan Rivers," he stammered, his voice barely above a whisper. As Aurelia, the angel, finally revealed himself to the bewildered assembly, a hush fell over the room, each soul drawn in by his radiant presence and commanding aura. Ethan's gaze lingered on Aurelia. "Greetings, lost souls," Aurelia declared, his voice resonating with a majestic power that seemed to fill the very air around them. "I am Aurelia, and I shall be your guide to your new life." As Aurelia extended his arms in a gesture of welcome, Ethan felt a surge of rage and hesitation, "This it bad, really bad."

In a world where venom is power and survival is a razor’s edge, a reincarnated teenager must navigate the laws of a merciless forest—not as a hero, but as a snake After being poisoned by a jealous cousin, Huǐ Yuān awakens in a primordial wilderness reborn as a hatchling tree snake.

Emmie’s heart pounded as the figure rose from the shadows, thicker and grayer than before—a far more earthbound and sinister version of the one he thought he’d conquered. The sparkling light from the crystals above seemed to be sucked away, leaving a suffocating emptiness. Even the sound of his friends’ breaths around him grew faint, their voices—one of concern, another of reassurance—muffled echoes through the cavern behind him. Yet he knew he had to press forward, deeper into the darkness, and face this alone. For now. The figure stepped closer, slow and deliberate, its glowing eyes radiating an icy malevolence. “You think you’ve overcome your fears?” it hissed, its voice sharp and grating. “That was nothing. I am the fog inside you—the one you ignore, the one that carves at you.” Emmie swallowed hard, forcing himself upright despite the shaking in his legs. “I’m not afraid of you,” he said, summoning courage he didn’t fully feel. “I’ve come too far to turn back.” The figure’s laughter crawled down his spine. “Brave, so brave… but so foolish. You’ve barely begun to uncover the truths buried in your soul. Your doubts, your regrets, your anger—they feed me.” For a moment, Emmie faltered. The words clawed at wounds he’d tried to ignore, stirring his doubts: Could he truly protect his friends? Were his choices enough? The darkness seemed to press closer, suffocating him with its weight. But then he remembered Mira’s voice, full of faith. He thought of Amara’s bright laughter and Cory’s unwavering support. They had believed in him when he couldn’t believe in himself. “Maybe I do doubt,” Emmie admitted, meeting the figure’s glowing gaze. “But those doubts don’t define me. My friends believe in me, and I believe in myself.” The figure’s eyes narrowed, frustration flickering within. “Conviction alone won’t save you,” it hissed. “Your friends are far, and here, it’s just you and me.” It raised its arm, and the shadows coiled into smoky tendrils, striking toward him. Emmie dodged just in time as they slammed into the ground, shattering the stone and sending shards flying. His heart raced, his footing unsteady, but he pushed himself upright. A faint light flickered in his hand—small but wholly his. The figure laughed, mocking him. “Is that all? A tiny flicker? Pathetic.” Emmie clenched his jaw. “It’s enough,” he said. “This light is everything I fought for, everything I believe in.” The figure snarled, and the darkness surged again, crashing against Emmie’s light. Straining against the tide, he closed his eyes and steadied his breathing. He thought of his friends, their unwavering faith, and his purpose. The light steadied, burning brighter. At that moment, he heard their voices—Mira, Amara, and Cory—calling to him. The sound reignited his resolve. As their light joined his, the shadow recoiled, its form shattering under their combined strength. The figure’s voice echoed as it faded: “This isn’t over, Emmie. This is just the beginning.” Emmie stood firm, unwavering. “I’ll be ready. Let’s finish this.”

In a world unraveling under the weight of forgotten wars and dying gods, Ashen Dain embarks on a perilous journey that could shape the future of all existence. A man driven by the unyielding thirst for immortality, Dain has long abandoned the constraints of human emotion and morality. He seeks the Ember of Eternity—a mysterious and ancient force that holds the promise of eternal life and ultimate power. To Dain, the pursuit of immortality is the only way to escape the cruel grip of mortality that shackles him, and he will stop at nothing to achieve it. The Ember of Eternity, however, is not easily attained. Its resting place lies within the heart of the Cinderfrost Cavern, a labyrinth of fire and ice where few have ventured and even fewer have returned. Legends say the Ember grants not just eternal life, but god-like power, and yet its power is bound to a devastating price—one that has shattered the lives of those who have sought it before. Along his journey, Dain encounters those whose lives have been irrevocably altered by the very forces he seeks to control. Soren Arinthal, a once-great sage twisted by his own failure to master the Ember, warns Dain of the cost that awaits him. Kaelen Vireth, a fallen hero seeking redemption, sees Dain as both a reflection of his past mistakes and a threat to the fragile world he still hopes to save. Meanwhile, Lyra Solen, a powerful sorceress with ties to an ancient order, becomes an unwilling ally, determined to stop Dain from unleashing the Ember’s destructive potential. As Dain moves closer to the Ember, he crosses paths with Raxos Daerith, a rival king who would do anything to claim the power for himself. The world is already on the brink of chaos, and Dain’s quest threatens to tip the balance entirely. With each step toward his goal, Dain finds himself entangled in a web of betrayal, power struggles, and ancient secrets that force him to confront not only his pursuit of immortality, but the darkness within his own soul. Guided by the cryptic warnings of Elyndra, the Oracle of Flame, Dain is forced to question the very nature of his quest. Is immortality truly worth the cost? As he draws closer to the Ember, he discovers that the price of eternal life is not just the sacrifice of his humanity, but the destruction of everything he holds dear. The path to eternity may be lined with the ashes of his own soul. The Ember of Eternity is a sweeping fantasy epic that explores themes of power, sacrifice, and the inherent cost of seeking immortality. It is a tale of ambition gone awry, where the pursuit of god-like power forces its seekers to confront the limits of their humanity, and where the question of what makes life worth living is answered only in the flames of destruction.

This dark continent, vast and shrouded in mystery, has been explored only up to 5%. The majority of its lands remain unknown, cloaked in darkness as deep as the secrets they hide. Determined to uncover the mystery of his arrival in this world, Dylan quickly realizes he cannot do it alone. On this cursed land, no one has ever survived in isolation.

(This is not a normal cultivation novel. It will have fantasy elements but after 100 chapters.) Roy’s journey began in tragedy. As a newborn, he was separated from his parents, left in a small village for his safety. Raised by the kind-hearted villagers, his life seemed peaceful for a time. But when Roy was just three years old, the Demonic Blood Sect descended upon the village, massacring its inhabitants and abducting the children. Roy was one of the few taken, thrust into a life of cruelty and slavery. For years, Roy endured the horrors of the sect, clinging to fleeting memories of his parents and the whispers of their love. At nine, he managed to escape, driven by an unyielding will to survive. In his desperate flight, he stumbled upon a mystical cavern, where he encountered the Heavenly Monarch. Recognizing Roy’s potential, the ancient entity gifted him the Heavenly Origin Qi Technique, one of the most powerful cultivation methods known. With this newfound power, Roy vowed to grow stronger, to search for his parents—if they still lived—or to avenge them if they did not. Journey to the Top: The Path of Power is a tale of resilience, vengeance, and unyielding determination. With intense battles, intricate world-building, and heartfelt character growth, the story delves into themes of sacrifice, loyalty, and the cost of power. Roy’s journey is one of survival, redemption, and the relentless pursuit of strength to protect those he holds dear. Will he reach the pinnacle of cultivation, or will the shadows of his past consume him? -------------- This is my first book and I will make some mistakes but I will strive to improve on them. Here are few things that you can expect from this novel. 1. No Cliche Young Masters -- I mean there can be one or two but the story wont be filled with them 2. Little to No Plot Holes / Armour -- But there will times when the MC will be lucky (without that the story can not even start) 3. Detailed power structure -- The power structure and everything related will be detailed. The power structure might seem generic at the start but it will show its uniqueness later on in the story. 4. I do not intend to drop this story. I already have a long story plot in mind.

In the mystical realm of Eldoria, a world nestled beneath the great, towering peaks of the Silverthorn Mountains, ancient secrets and untold magic thrive. The inhabitants of Eldoria, a vibrant tapestry of humans, elves, and dwarves, live in harmony, drawing their strength from the enchanted ley lines that flow beneath the earth. However, a tremor has disturbed the peace—a rift has opened, casting dark shadows over the once untouched valleys. The story follows Aric, a young cartographer with dreams of exploring the world beyond his village of Lynwood. Fascinated by the legends surrounding the Silverthorn Mountains, he often finds himself daydreaming about the hidden wonders that lie below their snow-capped summits. One fateful evening, while mapping the hidden caverns that surround Lynwood, he stumbles upon a hidden entrance that leads him deep into the heart of the mountains. As Aric descends into the cavernous world below, he discovers a realm of luminescent flora and fauna that thrive in the subterranean light. Here, he meets Althea, a spirited elf with an affinity for nature, who guards the ancient knowledge kept within this hidden sanctuary. Together, they uncover the truth about the rift—a sinister force known as the Umbral Shadow has emerged, seeking to erode the natural balance of Eldoria. As Aric and Althea venture deeper into this enchanted world, they encounter mythical creatures: wise old dragons that breathe magic instead of fire, mischievous sprites that can shift forms, and ancient guardians bound to protect the secrets of their realm. With each friendship forged and challenge faced, Aric learns the value of courage, friendship, and the importance of preserving the harmony of nature. The journey intensifies as rumors spread of the Umbral Shadow rallying its forces in an attempt to harness the ley lines for its own dark purposes. Aric must rally the inhabitants of Eldoria, bridging the divides between the different races. With Althea by his side, they inspire the dwarves of Ironclad Forge and the elves of Silverleaf Hollow to stand against the impending doom. In a climactic showdown, the heroes confront the Umbral Shadow in the Crystal Cavern, where the ley lines converge. Using their newfound alliances and the ancient magic of the land, Aric and Althea lead a united front to reclaim their world. In the throes of battle, Aric realizes that the map he has been creating is not merely a guide to the land, but a tapestry woven with the fates of all its inhabitants. Ultimately, the power of unity, courage, and hope triumphs over darkness. As the rift closes and peace is restored, Aric emerges from the mountains, his heart filled with a sense of purpose. He returns to Lynwood, not just as a cartographer, but as a hero destined to share the wonders and stories of Eldoria with generations to come. Friendship, unity, courage, the balance of nature, and the importance of understanding one another across differences. In "Below the Mountain," adventure beckons under the earth, and young heroes discover that true magic lies not only in power but in the bonds we forge along the way.

"You are lying!" she retorted, her voice ringing with a blend of indignation and despair as she surged to her feet and crossed the space to his side. Her anger struck him as somewhat bemusing, and in a different circumstance, he might have been tempted to applaud her unyielding spirit. "I am an apex predator. I am what monsters and all things wicked fear. How could you imagine I would concern myself with something as fickle as emotions, let alone for a witch?" he asserted, his words delivered without the slightest quiver of doubt. His words landed like a blow to her very core. She had never anticipated such a stinging rebuttal from him. "If you can look me in the eye and tell me you feel nothing for me, then I'll leave you alone," she challenged, her tone calm amid the raging storm of emotion that churned within her. Her words felt like a knife piercing through his cold heart, leaving Damien to grapple with the weight of her final statement. He hesitated for a few fleeting moments before lifting his gaze to meet hers. "I don't," he declared, the words slipping from his lips with austere finality. Lauren's heart sank upon hearing his response; she sensed within her that he was not speaking the truth, but what recourse did she have? Before she could utter another word, the ringing of her phone pierced the solemn air. Engaging with the call, she answered, "Hello, Director." Briefly acknowledging the conversation, she swiftly concluded, "Alright, I'll be there," before ending the call. "Thanks for the meal once again," she offered in a flat voice, devoid of any discernible emotion. Damien found himself taken aback by the sudden shift in her demeanor, feeling the impulse to say something, but before he could gather his thoughts, she had already entered the elevator. Making her way towards the exit, she soon drove off, leaving Damien to stand before the towering windows, watching her departure with a silent ache lingering within him. As she disappeared, he turned his gaze inward, pondering the emptiness that seemed to pervade his residence. Reflecting on his actions, he found himself questioning whether he had made the right choice in pushing her away, but he understood that only time held the answers. This Novel tells a story of a halfie(half vampire half human) named Damien Voltorie. Some whisper of Damien Voltorie as a modern-day wolf of Wall Street, while others deem him the nation's most captivating bachelor. But beneath the veneer of wealth and charm lies a secret: Damien is a thousand-year-old vampire, haunted by a traumatic past and determined to remain in the shadows. Yet, destiny has a different plan. As the last descendant of the once powerful Voltorie vampire dynastyt he is bound by an ancient prophecy to a brilliant human, Lauren Turner. A captain of special operations of the National division of intelligence (NDI) and a gifted surgeon, Lauren is his fated partner. Together, they hold the key to saving both the human and supernatural worlds from a resurrected evil that once obliterated his kingdom eons ago. Faced with a choice between prophecy and isolation, Damien must decide: Will he heed the call of destiny and fight to save the world, or will he allow it to burn as his kingdom did? Can he overcome the isolation of his immortal existence and embrace the warmth of a human love, or will he succumb to fear and run? Join us as we step into a realm where the veil between worlds is thin, and the fate of both human and supernatural rests on the choices of one reluctant vampire.

“Is Mr. Angelis there?” a hurried voice asked. The man introduced himself as Dereck. “No, Matt isn’t home. He’s in Brisbane until tomorrow,” Colette replied, her tone flat and resigned. She was ready to end the call and retreat back to the comfort of her bed when Dereck’s response froze her in place. He laughed. “Oh, is that what he told you?” A cold drop of fear slithered down her spine. “What is that supposed to mean?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, a mixture of fear and anger lacing her words. There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Colette could almost hear the gears turning in Dereck’s mind as he realized his slip. “What?” She stammered, before abruptly cutting the call. Matheo would attend the gala with Iris, and they would be the perfect couple, the power duo that everyone admired. Meanwhile, Colette would be here, in this cold, empty house, a prisoner of her own despair. The realization was suffocating, the betrayal too deep to bear. Her heart ached with a pain so intense it felt physical, a crushing weight that left her gasping for breath. She sat down on the edge of the bed, her body trembling with a mixture of rage and sorrow. Tears streamed down her face, but she made no move to wipe them away. What was the point? The man she had loved with all her heart, the man she had trusted implicitly, had chosen another over her. He had lied to her, betrayed her, and now he was flaunting that betrayal in the most public way possible. But this was new! Now, he had started lying to her. So, that he could attend the gala with Iris without his "stupid, unreasonable" wife demanding to be taken to a public place with him? He wouldn’t want that burden on him now, would he? No, Iris would look much better in his arms, cool and sophisticated, with her intellectual talks to charm his potential investors. She knew the ins and outs of his business and it wouldn’t be the first time he had taken her to such events. The thought made Colette’s stomach churn. But tonight, something snapped inside her. The dead flower of her heart, long withered from neglect and betrayal, turned to a crisp. She had been humiliated, shamed, hidden away in secret, and lied to. Matheo had been afraid she would embarrass him? Now she would show him what true embarrassment felt like. Maybe her marriage was over. Maybe her husband had only ever wanted her for one thing: sex. If that was the case, then tonight, she would be the epitome of sex. She would get ready to seduce him in public, and the whole world would see the actual of their marriage before she left him forever. If he wanted her as the whore, he will get the whore.
