Raised by a family that never cared for her and desperate to avoid a twisted arranged marriage, Rain seizes this unexpected twist of fate. Her new husband might be a cold-hearted billionaire, but he's her only escape. Yet Alexander demands a swift divorce. Refusing to lose her one chance at freedom, Rain strikes a risky bargain to keep their marriage alive, even if it means playing by Alexander’s rules. She just has to convince him to want her around—FOREVER. Weeks into their unexpected arrangement, Rain begins to see through Alexander’s icy exterior. But one night, she’s taken by surprise. “What are you doing?” Rain burst out, eyes wide as Alexander casually slid into her bed. “Performing husbandly duties,” he smirked. “You can’t stay here! It’s against the contract!” “I’m not breaking it,” Alexander said with a shrug. “The contract specifies that you’ll fulfill all wifely duties, excluding sharing my bed. It doesn’t say anything about me not performing husbandly duties, including sharing your bed.” The situation had shifted, and it seemed like she was no longer the only one in control...

Popular girl Ari Cho is absolutely charming, leaving Yumi Kim, the school nerd, too gay to function normally. ** FOREWORD: Like any other day, I sat back and watched Ari hold court in the far corner of the school cafeteria. She was surrounded by her usual swarm of admirers, each one trying—and failing—to win her over. One by one, they crumbled under the weight of her gentle rejections, their faces painted with the sting of unrequited affection. Oh, what a marvellous sight to behold. The scene took a dramatic turn when two of the boys started arguing, throwing out accusations about who was making Ari more uncomfortable. The irony was almost too good—they were both so oblivious to the fact that their entire presence was likely making her want to bolt out the door. I took another bite of my sandwich, savouring the free entertainment. Poor Ari, trapped in the middle of a gaggle of hormonal teenagers who genuinely believed their cringe-worthy displays of “manliness” would sweep her off her feet. Pathetic. You might be wondering why I’m not stepping in to rescue Ari from that circus of admirers. Well, let me give you three solid reasons why meddling is a terrible idea for me. First, I’m no Superman—I don’t do heroic deeds. Second, I’m far too comfortable living my drama-free life to jeopardise it now. And third, let’s be real, my body is definitely not built for a catfight. As I happily munched on my sandwich, enjoying the chaos from a safe distance, I made a grave error, I locked eyes with Ari. Oh, crap. Picture this: while the two idiotic boys were still mid-argument, Ari—with a slightly shy smile—started walking towards my direction, her tray of food balanced in her hands. No, no, no. God, please tell me she’s not actually coming to talk to m— “Hi, Yumi!” she said casually, her smile so bright it could power a small city.

Words left unspoken, scars from the day, hoping to embrace you today. [A story that shouldn't be read]

Excerpt "You can drop this stupid act now, Mr. Yates. I am not going to fall for it." A frown marred his features. "What are you talking about?" "Oh, stop with your pretentious act, it makes me sick. You want nothing to do with a brainless socialite such as myself, so I am not even going to delude myself that this sham would work." He remained silent for a few moments, then smiled. "This works for me then. It means you are smart enough to not expect anything from me then. From what I am to understand, this marriage would be of great benefit to us both in that case." Iris seethed internally. What an insufferable man. "You flatter yourself too much, sir. My time is too precious for it to be wasted stroking your ego. If you came here just for that ridiculous charade of yours, I suggest you leave now." His gaze hardened. "I hope you don't forget what you just said to me. It has been duly noted, miss Clayton. I really do hope your words do not come back to bite you." "I hope you say the same for yourself as well, Mr. Yates." * * * * Iris Clayton agrees to marry a man she was engaged to, but had never met formally. She is reluctant, but agrees to do so to save the legacy of her mother. She however finds herself disliking him immediately, to her dismay. She also finds herself entangled in the web of secrets in the family, with no hope of escape.

I’ll do it!” her second brother, a miracle doctor, came forward. Then her third brother, fourth brother, fifth brother… All the bigshots had arrived, asking for hugs and to let them carry her. “All of you, get lost!
