Reserved, brilliant, and obsessively devoted to her craft, she lives for the art of creation. But when a special commission comes from billionaire Alexander Millers—a dangerously magnetic man known for his empire in the adult industry and his playboy reputation—Gie finds herself unraveling. His requests are luxurious, precise, and dripping in silent power. She’s never met him, but designing for him becomes intoxicating… and maddening. Alexander has everything—wealth, infamy, women, and control. But what he craves is something he’s never had: touch that doesn’t repulse him, intimacy that doesn’t feel like a performance. When he meets Gie, the woman behind the jewelry that clings to his skin, something shifts. She's unlike any woman he's ever known—brilliant, stunning, untouchable. As desire coils between them in ways neither can resist nor define, they enter a dangerous game of seduction, power, and possession. But love doesn’t play by the rules… especially when the one thing they fear most is each other. As all my novel, please this is rated r. Do not read if you're 17 and below.

The result, a video of her from that party was about to be circulated. And she had no idea how to stop it or get out this situation.

Just as she was about to give up, and surrender to the consequences of her mistake, Pearl meets Edwina, who offers her a helping hand. Edwina promises to undo everything, make the video vanish. Even the person who made that video and was blackmailing her.. if that was the only way to save Pearl. And nobody would know a thing about this incident or the video. The catch? Pearl had to search for a girl. Edwina did not know her name, but had a picture of hers. If Pearl does not manage to find this girl in three months, then Edwina would leak the video. But, this time it would be to a media house.. and that would be worse than it getting circulated in her school. But, then again.. as soon as Pearl looks at the picture of the girl Edwina wants her to find, she is dumbfounded. The girl in the picture was the same girl, Pearl had been dreaming about. The freaking nightmare girl! This increases her curiosity, because only Edwina or this girl can answer all her question. Why Pearl kept seeing this girl every night and why did she always wake up feeling depressed. Because, Edwina refuses to give her any detail and they don’t know where this girl was. Pearl uses her social media power and her parent’s connections to look for this girl, as soon as she can. This girl holds the key to most of her life’s problem and Pearl wanted answers. But, how would she find this girl? And did this girl know anything about the nightmares Pearl was having?

We were married for a goal and under the auspices of an official contract, but then this man—who was my husband now—got crazy and acted like a jerk.

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. Looking at the way she is wet from head to toe with the room filled with the scent of rose with water dripping from her body, gives a kind of allure that makes it hard for any man to resist her. She’s currently looking like a seductress, No!, She’s a seductress because she’s currently doing what is seductress does, seducing a priest. Vivian had an heart disease since the day she was born, since she was young, she spent most of her life lying on the hospital bed, denying her the joy of living like every other normal child. The only way for her to escape the reality that haunts her and the pain she goes through is by reading novels, watching movies, and following celebrity gossip on social media, but what becomes of Vivian when she suddenly dies from over-excitement and is transmigrated into a novel as her favorite character who was the villainess, and probably the most naïve and innocent villainess ever.
