Pompous Pep

Stolen By The Mirror, Claimed By Its Prince.

"Thank you. Well, now that I've managed to ruin breakfast," Lyra began, attempting a sheepish smile. "Apologies for that, by the way…" She tilted her head slightly, trying to come across as both remorseful and adorable. Elias didn't miss a beat. "Oh, you apologise in your world? I thought it was a foreign concept to you." Lyra raised an eyebrow. "Uh… am I missing something? Am I supposed to owe you any other apology aside from this?" She gestured dramatically at the battlefield formerly known as the breakfast table. "I guess we can consider bumping into a man while stark naked the norm in your world, then?" Lyra's jaw dropped in outrage, and she immediately slapped her palm to the table. "Bumping? You bumped into me! You were in the room without knocking!!! You wanted to see me naked!!!" "Oh, speak a little bit louder," he said in a low, venomously sarcastic tone. "I don't think the entire castle heard you. Please, by all means—broadcast to the staff, the kitchen, the stables—that you, an unmarried lady… yes?... were alone in a room with a bachelor. Oh wait, naked!" He leaned in with a smirk. "That's not the scandal of the century. So go on… speak even louder. Maybe the bards will write a song about it." Lyra narrowed her eyes at him. "You're an asshole," she said.  "You're a constipated… sad… pompous… asshole!!! You know that?" she shot back, rising to her feet. Thaddeus, who had quietly been trying to clean up the spill without being noticed, froze in place. How is it that anyone could speak to the prince this way? And get away with it. Even Lady Lirae, whom he was head over heels in love with wouldn't dare. "I wouldn't know…" Elias said, his lips twitching into a devilish smirk. "I have never peeked into an ass's hole before. Apparently, you have, seeing how you're being quite graphic. Tell me, Miss Lyra… what else did you find in there?" ***** Trapped in another world, where carriages are ridden instead of Ubers, Lily is apparently the doppelgänger of a missing/dead noblewoman. She meets the brooding, annoyingly handsome prince- Elias who is constantly amazed at how improper she is. But when Lyra finds out that Elias was on trial for the disappearance of her doppelganger. She is frightened into desperately finding a way out of the Cursed Terra Lucida. Elias offers her a deal, if she can pretend to be Lirae until he can find out what happened to her, then he would help her find her way back to her world. And so it begins, a fake engagement, a rushed wedding and the unravelling of a plot so evil, it would shake the entire Terra Lucida. WARNING; includes very sexy and steamy detailing.

After Being Abandoned, Young Master Lu's Wife Becomes Filthy Rich!

“First time? You’re tight…” The man’s teasing voice sounded a little hoarse. A hot breath rolled onto Su Nan’s face. With her eyes blindfolded, Su Nan asked through heavy breaths, “Qiao Ming, is that you?” “Guess,” he said in an unusually icy tone. The next morning, Su Nan opened her eyes and found herself alone in the room. Just as she was immersed in the sweet sensation of finally giving her fiance, Qiao Ming, her all, the room’s door was pushed open. Qiao Ming appeared in a striking suit, looking handsome as always. Yet, he had worn a cold expression, one that Su Nan had never seen before. Standing beside him was Su Nan’s step-sister, Sun Qian. Sun Qian asked with a smirk, “Was the gigolo I gave you last night satisfactory? I heard it was your first time.” Su Nan’s heart sank into her stomach. With disbelief in her eyes, she stared at the man, who she had been in love with for so long and was about to tie the knot with, intimately holding onto Sun Qian. Sun Qian added, “I was with Qiao Ming last night, and the person who defiled you was a gigolo I meticulously picked out for you. Su Nan, weren’t you a pompous woman? How does it feel to be r*ped by a gigolo?” Qiao Ming said, “For the sake of making me marry you, your father forced Sun Qian to get an abortion. That was my first child! Your whole family deserves death! Right, your father died last night, and your Su family has been bought over by me this morning. If it wasn’t for the sake of torturing you, you’d have accompanied your father to hell last night!” Qiao Ming and Sun Qian joined hands to send Su Nan into an asylum. A fire broke out later on, and Su Nan went missing. Everyone said that she died in the fire, leaving no remains behind. Several years later, she returned from abroad with her child. She had fair skin, beauty, and a net worth of over a billion. Just her appearance made every head turn. The child’s lowly gigolo father started pestering her too. Su Nan thought her child’s father was penniless, that was why he had to sell his body. For the sake of her child, she tossed one million at him and said, “Don’t work anymore. I’ll take care of you.” The man who was suddenly being kept, smiled in response. Later on, Su Nan was being pressed into a wall, and the man said, “That three million mansion you’re interested in was developed by yours truly. Be good and call me hubby. I’ll take care of you instead.” Looks like Su Nan was mistaken. The man wasn’t a gigolo. Quite the contrary, he was a legendary aristocrat, and he had been planning all of this for a long time!

The Dragon Prince's Bride

*Author's other work (She belongs to the Demon King)* *** They say opposite attracts, that's a lie. Opposites kill each other! When a hot blood meets another hot blood, things are bound to get burnt. That is exactly what happens when the pompous and prideful elven princess, Neriah of the Avelah Kingdom is forced to marry the brash dragon Prince, Barak of the Trago Kingdom. Neriah's goal is to someday break away from her marriage and run away with the love of her life, Lyle of the Niles. While Barak will do everything to keep her as a wife. Neriah is certain she's in love with another, but she's also certain that no one can ignite the kind of passion her husband brings. Her husband who she hates more than anything. Can the flames of passion be drawn from hate? Can that same passion burn down the walls of lies, betrayal, and hurt? Can its ashes transcend into love? Excerpt "I am a rose, a beautiful flower, delicate and precious! But you my dear sir are nothing but the thorny stem! Prickly, dangerous and very harmful!" ranted Neriah while poking his chest with her index finger. "Well you seem to forget one important detail, my love." He calmly grabbed her poking hand. "And what would that be, my fine sir?" "That the thorny stem and the rose grow together. The delicate rose and the prickly thorn, they belong together my dear." "You—" "And no amount of ranting and raging will change that. You think I want to keep a witch like you? You are a pain in the neck. If I am a thorn then you are a piece of fish bone stuck inside my neck. I cannot swallow and I can not spit it out! I just have to bear it!" "You insolent bastard! Do you mean to say I am a burden!" "Well you are no precious prize, are you?" And that was it, she threw herself at him with her claws ready to mar his face, but he was quicker and he caught both her hands with one of his own and pressed her heaving chest upon his. Golden eyes stared deep into hers. They were as green as the fresh leaves on an orange tree. His fingers caressed her face, “You might not be a precious prize, but by the heavens, you are mine.” And his lips fell on hers, and once again, another argument was drowned.

Fragile Shell but Extraordinary Within

"So, you need me 'cause I'm unique?" Nicholas arrogantly looks at William up and down. "Yes, you certainly look *interesting*," and smirks. William glares at him. If it weren't for the fact that this man happens to know his secret, he would've long ignored him. He is able to stay hidden for so long by living out his life like a normal person so how the hell did he attract this pompous person's unwanted attention. "I can help you," Nickolas looks around William's barely furnished apartment and adds, "as a matter of fact, I can even make your life easier if you agree to my request." "Help me how? by sitting pretty and spend money?" "Of course," Nickolas answers smugly. William shakes his head and with false politeness opens the door, "I apologize *good* sir, but your offer is too good for a *humble* person like me. Do try asking someone else," William then gestures to Nickolas to get out. Nickolas then stares at William for a long while then smiles, gets up, and walks towards the door near William. Before he exits, his back facing William, says arrogantly "I'll be back again, because this *good* sir is patient enough to wait for you to agree. And I know you will," he then turns to face William and whispers "*humble* Mr. Shapeshifter" in his ears. William's hands faintly tremble but meets Nickolas's gaze steadily, smiles, and answers "Goodbye." He then slams the door on Nickola's face. Even with the door almost hitting his face, Nickolas bursts out laughing. "You're quite charming, William." He then leaves in a good mood. William's hearing the laughter sighs and walks towards the kitchen trying to ignore what just happen. It wasn't easy getting to the point where he is now. All those years struggling just to survive, all alone. William clenches his fist. "Never again will I let myself suffer. Even if that means being heartless."

Wife of The Demon Prince

To save her family from dying unjustly like they did in her previous life she has to marry a Prince rumored to be a demon. A marriage that was only a deal on paper turns to something they both can't resist. ** Two people who transverse through a lifetime of difficulty and hardship only to find each other again in another lifetime. Will their love transcend over the forces of time and the evil that lurks behind the power of a wish? Or will fate tear them apart to regain the world's stability. *************** Excerpt "How ridiculous, just because you saved my life, now I have to pay you back by marrying you?" Hamon looked strangely terrifying as he gave her a mocking laugh. If he wasn't already wounded Ara might've beat that laugh off his face, for her own peace of mind. "Your Highness if you keep laughing like that, your wound will open." Her voice sounded muffled behind the armor making it quite gruff. "Shut your disgusting mouth, even your voice is disgusting." "Your Highness, listen to what I ha-" "I'm going to say this one last time. I'm not going to marry you....so You can take your sorry self and leave this place right now while am being nice!" Ara wanted to fume At him when he kept on interrupting her again and again. 'He thinks I'm disgusting, after I risked my life to save him? What an arrogant pompous Prince!' Despite her anger boiling beneath the surface, she said in a calm voice. "Can you please just listen to me first?" __ Excerpt 'Without Arabella...Hamon is nothing.' 'Die? How will you die when I'll be here to bring you back? Not even death can take you away from me, wife.' 'If anything happens to you...I will ruin the entire world!' Memories of his words to his wife began to echo in his head, then images of her smiling face. And what she said earlier. 'If you tell me to split up with you again, I'll get very mad at you. And I won't allow you hold me to sleep tonight!' 'Hamon, I'll be dead before I leave your side, I am your wife and once your soldier, I am not a coward. I am staying by your side!' Hamon sat frozen on the cold forest ground as he held Ara's dead body in his arms. There was no longer any signs of tears in his eyes, all that was left was a pair of soulless eyes. He slowly glanced down at her pale lifeless face, the reality began to sink to his mind. His wife was dead, Ara was dead... She died saving him, taking the arrows meant for him. As those thoughts went through his mind, his face slowly began to darken, like cloudy storms of an incoming typhoon that could tear the skies and the earth apart, gradually his forearms veins started to turn purple and it spread to his neck veins and forehead. He pulled away from Ara's body and stood to his feet. Eyes as red as blood, claws long and sharp pierced through his fingers cutting his skin, but he didn't so much as flinch as the blood dripped from them. Purple dark veins appeared on his face as his sharp fangs peeked out of his clenched lips. There the Demon stood with flames blazing in his hands, it looked nothing like Hamon. Just his soulless eyes were enough to make one crawl away in fright. __ Note: this book is a slow burn romance, and there's no major tragedy. You can also check out my other book. Title: Bound To The Ice Dragon King Happy reading!

Monsters die when they’re killed.

How many unknown mysteries exist in this world of ours? Until one day, those that had passed away returned, those that had fallen silent revived, and those that had once been far away, once again came close to our world. Su Di, a seventeen-year-old high school sophomore, an 'ordinary' person with a penchant for anecdotes and strange stories, was holding his mobile phone, under the July holiday sun, intently replying to a message sent by a forum and a friend. The tour bus travelling through the forest road, the vibrant green scenery of the South East Asian jungle did not attract his attention, it was never these 'ordinary' things that mattered to him, in the midst of the tour guide's pompous introductions, and in the midst of the front seat grandpa's loud snoring, he clicked the 'send button! ' before letting out a long breath and placing the phone on his lap. [Do psychics really exist in this world? Magic nor fairy cultivation, do they really exist?"] Seriously replying to this post, the man who talked so eloquently on the internet would never have imagined that what he said was prophetic, and that what was going to happen next would tear apart all the placid realities, the gentle fantasies. All the mundane, the boring but cosy routines, all the things he had taken for granted would be decisively taken away from him, never to return. On his lap, on his mobile phone, which had not yet switched off the screen, the beginning of a small reply was still displayed. [Of course.] [They definitely exist.]

THE ROYALS: ANNA & WILLIAMS

#The Royals: Anna and Williams Anna was a simple girl, a free spirit and not your usual prim and proper kind-of girl. While girls her age were busy having tea parties, playing castle and attending debut balls, Annalisa-Jane Jacobs loved to play with children, wear trousers under her gowns and climb rocks. It didn't help that she was a princess. She was also stubborn and rebellious; traits she got from her father. And she hated to be confined and controlled even though she was the Princess of Worcestershire Castle. Annalisa-Jane Jacobs wanted to be wild and free and this went against her father's wishes. Her parents, the King and Queen of Worchester, thought getting her married would make her act like a woman. They believed that marriage was the solution. So when his childhood friend, Duke De Beaumont tells him his second son, Williams De Beaumont had returned back from completing his masters abroad in England, the Royal family and the Dukes decides that the young Duke was the perfect match for their daughter Annalise, the Princess. But here is the problem. The Duke and the Princess hated each other from their first meet. William was pompous, proud. Arrogant! Annalisa-Jane was simple, stubborn. Rebellious! They were bad combinations for each other. They rather kill themselves than to get married. And seeing that their parents were hell bent on going through with the marriage alliance; thus they made sure to flaunt their parents plans, get them angry, do un-royal-like things just so they cancel the wedding. It was a ‘’ruin it’’ or ‘’run-away’’ plan if it doesn’t work out. Their hate for each other was evident. But there is one thing as strong as hate -which is love, especially when they did not see it happening. Not Ever!!!! Set in recent times and having an ambience of classic royal family politics, unknown enemies and a bust of unexpected turns, the Royals: Anna and Williams takes us on a journey of hate and eventual love; without restrictions to foul language even in their thick Worcestershire accent, raw unfiltered desires and mixed emotions that would get you laughing, angry, giddy, frustrated and toes curling and heart beating fast waiting for that moment. It would keep you at the edge of your seat because you would not want to stop turning those pages. I mean how can you, it’s too juicy, so don’t blink!!
