It hurts, doesn't it?" he murmured, his voice a dark caress that sent a shiver down her spine. Amelia nodded, her eyes never leaving his as she felt the wetness between her legs grow even more. With a smug smile, Enzo's hand moved from her thigh to cup her left breast, his thumb flicking over the nipple. It was a gentle touch, almost soothing after the sting of his slap. But she knew it was a prelude to something more. He leaned over her, his hard length pressing against her thigh. She felt a thrill of fear and anticipation.

Her eyes widened as he freed his cock, standing tall and proud before her. It was thick and long, a stark contrast to the tenderness of his earlier touch. She knew what was coming, and she was both scared and excited. "Look at me, Amelia," he whispered, his eyes dark with need. She met his gaze, her breath shallow and uneven. He positioned himself between her legs, his hand guiding himself to her entrance. Her body tensed as she felt the tip of his erection against her. "Relax," he murmured, his voice soothing despite the intensity in his eyes. "This will only hurt for a moment."

Her life takes an unexpected turn when she discovers a mysterious symbol in one of her photos, a pattern she has seen before but can’t place. What begins as a simple curiosity quickly spirals into an enigmatic puzzle that pulls her into a web of danger and conspiracy. After receiving cryptic text messages and uncovering hidden symbols in her photos, Maya enlists the help of her best friend, Priya. Together, they trace the clues to an abandoned building, where Maya discovers an old key.

Aarav warns her to abandon her investigation, revealing that they are both in grave danger. However, Maya’s determination only deepens when she learns that Aarav is tied to the crime syndicate behind the symbols. Haunted by guilt from a tragic incident in his past, Aarav seeks redemption by helping Maya uncover the truth.

Maya faces relentless threats, betrayals, and her own fears as she is drawn closer to Aarav, whose motives remain shrouded in mystery.

But as they edge closer to uncovering the conspiracy, they realize that the symbols and their connection run deeper than they ever imagined—threatening not only their lives but the fragile trust they’ve built with each other. **Will Maya’s determination and Aarav’s quest for redemption be enough to dismantle the syndicate, or will the weight of their pasts and the enemies lurking in the shadows tear them apart?** A thrilling blend of mystery, danger, and romance, *[Insert Title]* is a story about chasing dreams, confronting fears, and uncovering truths hidden in the shadows.

Ethan Grayson has it all: a multi-billion-dollar company, a penthouse view, and a personality so charming it’s borderline unbearable. But after one too many dinner dates with women who talk more about his stock portfolio than their hobbies, Ethan decides he’s done with high society. His grand plan? Marry a “normal” woman who doesn’t care about his money. Simple, right? Enter Emily Carter, a bookshop employee who thinks a “luxury” is buying two cups of coffee in one day. She’s witty, stubborn, and entirely unimpressed when Ethan waltzes into her shop one afternoon, throwing around compliments like confetti. For Ethan, Emily is everything he’s looking for: genuine, grounded, and refreshingly immune to his usual charm. There’s just one tiny problem. Ethan’s arrogance is the size of his bank account, and Emily has no patience for egotistical billionaires—no matter how good their jawline is. As Ethan awkwardly tries to “woo” Emily in the most unromantic ways possible (think unsolicited business advice and overly generous tips), Emily starts to wonder if this handsome stranger might actually have a heart hidden under all that bravado. But when she discovers his real reason for pursuing her, all bets are off. Will Ethan learn to drop his ego long enough to win Emily’s trust? Or will Emily decide that some books are better left closed?

I decided to write this story since it has been on my mind for years now. I've always been daydreaming about certain stories, characters and such for a long time, and now I finally decided to try writing for the first time. I wish I could've drawn this story, but I'm bad at drawing so that won't happen anytime soon. I would also like to mention that English is not my first language so expect some errors here and there. HOWEVER I am trying my best to fix it [rewriting certain sections, grammar, typos and such]. I also appreciate criticism, tips and/or tricks on how I could improve this story/writing. Also most parts in this story might seem confusing, but that is intentional. That's just how this story goes. Everything that might seem confusing now will get an explanation later on. There might have some parts where I have a massive skill issue, but most are intentional. One last thing I would like to mention is that, I'm not 100% sure about the tags. I added what seemed to be reasonable, but that could also change in the future.)

From high-stakes assassinations to saving hostages and tipping the scales in wars, Alexander was the “perfect human”—except for one missing piece: happiness.

Then he wakes up as the sickly son of the cunning and cold Empress of the Emperor's harem. Empress Xuefeng is a beautiful cold man, with sharp eyes and a glare that makes generals stand upright.

Despite the Emperor's public lack of affection many concubines and consorts are still jealous of either the man or the seat itself. When seeing an opportunity, many will stop at nothing to get there. Yao Ling is now the son of said Empress and he can admit, as a soldier of war, nothing has been more difficult than surviving in this life he's been "blessed" with.

I quiver as he snakes his arm around my waist with his lips behind my ear whispering, "So what would you say about my proposal, Zelda?"
