There's nothing more important than love, Mila always told herself. Even when her boyfriend cheated on her and accused her of stealing, leading to her being fired, Mila still held onto her belief. For a 24-year-old young woman to survive in a big city where she knew nobody but her cheating boyfriend, Mila had to look for work elsewhere not just anywhere, but The Montclair Club. For one night, she served as a salesperson for the launch of a new wine. As the saying goes, (In vino veritas) Truth in wine. Mila's truth was letting her hair down and having fun just for one night. The innocent woman had her own taste of a 'one wild night.' The result? A positive pregnancy test. Mila became pregnant by the hot-tempered, international playboy and heir of the Montclair Conglomerate, from a family of old money. Zyran Ciro Montclair is known to have a special hatred for the words family and poor. He only believes that the poor are leeches and liars. At the moment, the luxury of pride wasn't something Mila could afford. Jobless, pregnant, and left alone in the big city, Mila decided to go after her baby's daddy. Even if he might reject her, she had to try. And somehow, in her pursuit, she ended up on the early morning news: 'Noblesse Oblige: Montclair Heir to Marry an Unknown Poor Country Girl. It's giving Rich Prince and The Pauper. A 21st-century Fairytale.' What could possibly go wrong? you may ask. Stepping into the rarefied and unhinged world of the Montclairs, Mila realized that their realm wasn't the same as her world of black and white. Her perception of life was turned upside down, and she couldn't help but wonder. What could be so poisonous yet so good as power and money? Will Mila's love endure when faced with Zyran's 12 rules for their marriage, including the humiliating demand of: Rule No 6: “Submission is key: When I say kneel, you'll drop to all fours. Don't question it, just obey.” Will she allow herself to be consumed by the corruption that comes with wealth, or will she spread her innocence and show Zyran a world where people don't have to be used? Can their love survive the poisonous influences of power and money? . . . . . . Instagram account: Pluma_W143 Facebook page: Plumadidi Tiktok: @Plumadidi Cover belongs to me. Art by Kelveendraws

The apocalypse didn’t just bring death—it shattered the very foundation of humanity. A mysterious system has rewritten reality, granting survivors unnatural strength in exchange for bloodshed. The streets are crawling with more than just the undead—monsters lurk in both human and inhuman form, preying on the weak without mercy. Society has crumbled, replaced by chaos where only the ruthless can hope to thrive. Charvet Storm was once a skilled gamer, who lived in the virtual world. But now, survival is no game. Every decision he makes is a gamble with death, every battle a test of his will to survive. Mutated horrors infest the city, and the remaining survivors are just as dangerous, forming factions that kill and conquer without hesitation. The strong dominate, the weak are slaughtered, and morality is nothing more than a distant memory. As the lines between man and monster blur, Charvet must carve his own path through the carnage. The system has given him the power to fight, but power alone isn’t enough. He will need cunning, ruthlessness, and the will to destroy anything—or anyone—who stands in his way. In this brutal new world, mercy is a death sentence. And Charvet has no intention of dying. Author: I just started this book this month, and I'll try to upload 2 to 3 chapters a day.
