Mom Comes First Romance

ILLICIT ROMANCE

Zelda Delacroix is no ordinary girl—raised in a world of affluence, power, and hidden secrets, she’s adopted into the prestigious Delacroix family, where appearances are everything and silence is survival. But beneath the surface of her new life lies a web of forbidden desire, fractured loyalties, and dangerous truths no one dares to speak. As Zelda tries to navigate university, dreams of becoming an architect, and the unrelenting expectations of the Delacroix household, she finds herself drawn to Lucien—the cold, enigmatic eldest son of the family who has always watched her from a distance. He’s off-limits, untouchable, and infuriatingly magnetic. Their connection simmers quietly, the tension growing more unbearable with each stolen glance and whispered word. But Lucien isn’t the only one watching her. The family’s secrets begin to unravel, and a forgotten brother erased from all records haunts the corners of Zelda’s life. As she digs deeper, she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy that could shatter the Delacroix name—and cost her everything. Meanwhile, rivals emerge. Marcella, a cunning girl from another elite family, pretends to befriend Zelda while scheming to steal Lucien. And Delphine Vale, a petite and seemingly harmless classmate, hides sinister intentions beneath her sweet smile. Every step Zelda takes forward is shadowed by betrayal. With her budding friendship with the genuine and free-spirited Ariyah, and the quiet support of her adoptive brothers Berrett and Ryan, Zelda tries to hold on to her sanity. But as the line between protector and possessor blurs in her relationship with Lucien, and long-buried feelings rise to the surface, Zelda must decide: Can she survive the weight of a love that was never meant to happen? And in a house built on secrets… who will burn first?

UNREQUITED LOVE COMES TRUE

"She made me smile even in my worst moments. That’s why I fell for her." --- “You never liked me?” Jun froze in place. His back remained turned. “You already know the answer, Ani. So why ask?” “I want to hear it from you,” she replied, her voice quivering. “I want to understand why you hate me.” Jun finally turned around, carrying the usual cold gaze. “I never liked you. And I never will. Because you have no direction, no ambition. I can’t stand beside someone who drifts through life aimlessly. That’s what I despise the most. And unfortunately, Ani, you are one of those people.” --- “Did you never love me?” Jun asked quietly, the weight of years pressing on his shoulders. Ani looked at him, startled, as tears welled in her eyes. “Jun…” “You didn’t love me. Not truly,” Jun said, his voice cracking. “If you had, you would’ve come to me first, even if my father forbade you. You would’ve picked up the phone, called me, and said, "'Jun, I need you here.' But you didn’t. Not once.” He paused, his voice trembling. “All these years, I loved the wrong woman. I believed in my love for you, but that love only betrayed me in the end.” Tears rolled down his cheeks, and he wiped them away with a shaky hand. “Don’t ever show me your face again, Ani. If you do, one of us might end up breaking beyond repair. You once said we shouldn’t cross paths again, today, I’m making that real. From now on, there is no Jun in your world. And there is no Ani in mine.”
