Montgomery Shepherd

The Tyrant's Bride: His Plaything, His Prisoner

Aria Monroe’s life was supposed to be simple, get through each day, untouched by the entanglements of wealth and power that ruled the world of the elite. But one mistake, one drunken night, led her straight into the arms of Carter Montgomery, a man known not for his kindness, but for his perverse appetites and ruthless control. The rumors didn’t do him justice. Carter Montgomery wasn’t just cold, he was calculating, his piercing gaze stripping her bare as though she were a possession to be broken, reshaped, and owned. When a mistaken pregnancy diagnosis forces her into an unwanted marriage, Aria learns the hard way that Carter’s love is nothing short of a trap. Rules dictate her life now, cruel, unyielding rules that strip her of freedom and test her sanity: 1. Speak only when spoken to. 2. Obey every command without question. 3. Your body belongs to me, no resistance allowed. Defiance earns punishment, bruising punishments that leave her torn between fury and a shameful, forbidden desire. Yet, even as she fights against him, she can’t deny the way his touch burns or how his cruel words pierce something deep inside her. When her first love resurfaces, the cracks in Carter Montgomery’s carefully curated control begin to show. Secrets emerge, dark, ugly truths that explain his obsession with her. But no matter how far she tries to run, Carter always finds her, dragging her back into his twisted embrace. Determined to break free, she demands a divorce. But Carter simply smirks, his voice dripping with finality: “Montgomery family descendants never divorce.” Trapped in a marriage she cannot escape and a love she cannot resist, Aria must navigate a treacherous path of lies, desire, and a haunting realization: she might not want to leave after all.

Love and Red Coloured Ties

Julius didn’t know what to expect when he stood in front of the grandiose gates, luscious fields, and beautiful students dressed in their pristine uniforms looking like a million bucks.

Silas grinned mischievously. “That’s a tough one.” Julius noticed the sly smile on Silas’s face and realized he’d been teased. “Just kidding~” Silas said, chuckling. “Well, Agares is a bit of a mystery. He’s strict but has a laid-back side too. He’s cold most of the time but can be surprisingly kind in rare moments?” Julius couldn’t help but laugh at the contradictory description. “Why do you make it sound like you’re unsure?” “Because he really is a puzzle. He’s not a bad guy, though. He keeps to himself and mainly communicates through the vice leader, Epaphras. He’s insanely popular, not just here but at Saint Ambracia Academy too. There have been incidents where girls from the academy tried to sneak into East Laurence just to see him. It’s crazy.” “Anyway,” Silas said, “you probably won’t interact with him much unless absolutely necessary, so don’t stress too much about it.” That should’ve been the case, and yet, he found himself interacting with the dark haired boy more and more, his admiration slowly started to change into something more. “Do I like him?” He couldn’t help but ask himself. …………………..
