``` —¡Feng Tianyi! ¡Tu hermano destruyó mi familia Tang! ¿Hay algo bueno en tu familia? —exclamó con ira. —En. ¿No ves cómo nuestros buenos genes se transmiten a nuestros hijos? En cuanto a la deuda de la familia Feng, te la pagaré —dijo con despreocupación. Tang Moyu se rió con desdén y cruzó los brazos sobre su pecho. —¿Cómo piensas pagarlo? —¿Qué tal si te reembolso con mi cuerpo? ... ¡Qué sinvergüenza! El hombre sentado en su silla de ruedas estalló en una carcajada al ver su fea expresión. —Señorita Tang, no tiene sentido que pretendas que no lo has visto ya que prácticamente te subiste a mi cama y te aprovechaste de mí. Hace cinco años, Tang Moyu era la emperatriz del mundo empresarial y estaba en la cima de su carrera antes de ser reducida a nada cuando su prometido se enamoró de otra mujer. Eso estaba bien, ya que no había amor entre ella y Feng Tianhua, pero ¿quién hubiera pensado que esta ‘Cenicienta’ era un lobo con piel de oveja? Luego está Feng Tianyi, el infame sucesor de la familia Feng, un autor aclamado por la crítica que constantemente sacudía la lista de los más vendidos con sus libros. Los rumores dicen que era de carácter fuerte y temperamental. Era tan despiadado que ni hombres ni mujeres querían su compañía. Los rumores incluso dicen que su rostro era tan bello y fuera de este mundo. Era prácticamente un dios entre los hombres. Era una lástima que estuviera incapacitado. Los dos nunca debían encontrarse de nuevo, pero un par de dulces pequeños bollos intervinieron. —Tío, no tenemos dinero para pagarle por los daños —dijo el mayor de los Pequeños Bollos. —Mis manuscritos no tienen precio —respondió este tío apuesto con diversión. —Tío, si no te importa, ¿podemos pagar con nuestra Mami? Ella también es invaluable —propuso el pequeño. Y así el par de dulces pequeños bollos y el tío apuesto llegaron a un acuerdo, pero ¿quién hubiera pensado que la mujer en cuestión era una reina helada del infierno que tenía una extraña afinidad por los dulces? — Editor/corrector: ninaviews Portada del libro: Bizzybiin / derechos de autor 2020 anjeeriku ```

Priest Alexander, how good is your printing? Princess Vivian said seductively with only a piece of white clothing that covered little to none of her sinful body. Alexander was shocked by the sight in front of him, looking at the woman who was one of the most beautiful, No! She’s the most beautiful woman in the Empire, but because she never made an attempt to dress up so nobody has ever seen her shine this brightly. Now looking at her with water dripping from her body like the sea pearl, her flamboyant red hair like that of burning fire, and her perfectly seductive body still wet and still carrying the freshness of a rose petals shower.

After living in hellish prison for 16 years, you're finally rescued. But what do you do when you soon realize that there is now a thread, a connection to the warden you've escaped from? BLURB: He could clearly see the way the water droplets ran down her back. The brown curls, almost black due to being wet, stuck to it, gave such an alluring contrast to her skin that seemed to glow in the moonlight. She turned, causing her ample breast to come into view. A single droplet hung precariously from a pebbled nipple. Was his eyesight always this sharp? It appeared like a pearl, begging to be licked away. He groaned as he could almost taste the cool freshness on his tongue before it was replaced with the heat of her flushed skin. Unzipping his jeans caused his member spring forth, drenched in the constant precum that flowed. Just the thought of sucking on her breast made him groan in frustrated desperation. He buried his face between the fleshly orbs. Biting and licking, he was pleased to see his marks on her skin. A fierce desire to possess came over him and even his wolf growled at the feeling. How is it that she smells even better that the soap she just used? Other Omegas used the same kind, yet their smell would cause his stomach to feel upset. Inhaling again, he pinning her against a tree. The same tree he was hiding behind before. Lifting her up, he devoured her lips while wrapping her long legs around his waist. Slightly bending his knees, he entered her in one deep thrust. She was hot and tight. So tight that if it wasn't for her juices, he wouldn't be able to move. Gripping himself tighter, his imagination became wild. Just thinking about her breathy moans or her screams of pleasure caused a shudder to pass through him as he came into the tissue he had thoughtfully grabbed. Why, why not just take what he so obviously wants? What's stopping him? If it were anyone else, he would have slacked his lust, had some fun, and moved on. The fact that this question ran through his mind without an answer was the reason for his pain.

Please guys, this is a new story and I'm signing it up for a contest. I'll be counting on y'all to help me improve and grow as your support will forever be my inspiration. HAPPY NEW YEAR!! . . . . Duncan stared hardly at the bunch of withering losers he had entrusted with a task. These people had no sense of direction at all.

He also found it weird how this man talked like he was from the ancient Greek times. Duncan Lloyd had everything there was to wish for, or did he? Then why was it so hard to find a suitable Nanny for his kids. His kids who were equally as complicated as him. Who then would be able to tame them? And how?

Her life was a tapestry of love and privilege, surrounded by doting parents, an adoring elder brother, and a promising engagement to the renowned General Xiao, a hero who had achieved great military feats. But fate, with its cruel whims, had other plans. One fateful day, Qiao Nian's world came crashing down around her. She was abruptly informed that she was nothing more than a fake千金 (adopted daughter). In an instant, the love and affection that had been hers were snatched away and bestowed upon Lin Yuan. Her once-loving parents turned their backs on her, devoting all their attention to Lin Yuan. Her elder brother, driven by his infatuation for Lin Yuan, heartlessly pushed her down a small building. Even her fiancé, General Xiao, chose to side with Lin Yuan, leaving Qiao Nian alone and betrayed. For the sake of Lin Yuan, they all stood by indifferently as Qiao Nian was unjustly accused. Without a word of protest, they watched as she was punished and sent to the laundry bureau, where she endured three long years of servitude. Those three years were a living hell, filled with hardship, loneliness, and heartbreak. Day after day, night after night, she suffered in silence, her spirit slowly crushed under the weight of their betrayal. But just when it seemed that all hope was lost, a remarkable transformation occurred. Three years later, the tables turned in a most unexpected way. The Hou Ye and his wife, filled with remorse, fell to their knees before Qiao Nian, tears streaming down their faces. "Nian Nian, we were wrong. Please come home with us," they pleaded, their voices choked with regret. The arrogant young master of the Hou Mansion knelt outside her door for an entire night, his pride shattered. "Nian Nian, can you find it in your heart to forgive me?" he begged, his eyes filled with desperation. And General Xiao, the once-untouchable hero, approached her with wounds that bled both physically and emotionally. "Nian Nian, please have pity on me. Look at me one more time," he implored, his voice filled with pain. But Qiao Nian's heart, which had been broken into a million pieces during those three years of torment, was now as cold as ice. The love and trust that had once burned bright within her had been extinguished, replaced by a deep well of bitterness and resentment. "Pity? It would be better if I were dead and my ashes scattered to the wind," she thought, her heart hardened against their pleas. However, Qiao Nian's story didn't end in despair. In the midst of her darkest hour, she met a man who saw her for who she truly was and loved her unconditionally.
