As everyone looked on with cold amusement at her plight, she disappeared quietly, with no one able to trace her whereabouts. Just as she was on the verge of being forgotten, she reemerged quietly in the entertainment sector, like a rose at dawn, still dazzling and bright. It was said she made a director kneel. It was said she toyed with the emotions of a leading actor. It was said she ruthlessly harmed her own sister. And it was said... that she attempted to seduce the famous Mr. Yu of Yaocheng, only to be thrown out of the room in public— In his company, Yu Yanshen looked at the news on his computer, silently lit a cigarette, and his eyes cold and indifferent, he dialed Yao Qing's number. "Qingqing, I admit my mistake. Don't wander out of the room in the middle of the night again; I can't sleep without you."

She couldn't make the same mistake again. “You won't succeed in your seduction. NOT NOW. NOT EVER.” Alex smirked, kissed behind her ear and her body trembled, much to his satisfaction. That was all he needed to keep purising the stubborn woman in his arms right now. “We shall see, Miss Ambrose,” he cooed and then released her. He returned to his seat and asked in a professional tone. “What is my schedule for today?”

"Who would have thought that i and oris would be the only ones at home today" upon hearing this i shivered " i like what i just saw ".He licked his lips "please toby don't hurt me " i could hear my heart racing and my eyes were watery "i really don't care if i do" the more he got closer i shifted backwards until i reached the wall and no where to run to i burst into tears pleading with him not to hurt me but he gave deaf ears, he dragged the blanket away from me and threw me on the bed. I was fighting to run away but he climbed on me and tried forcing me to kiss him and i bit him " you bitch" he punched me on the face and i could taste something thick i guessed it was blood "you are gonna pay" the next moment he was kicking off his pant. I kept on fighting and kicking but it couldn't do anything on his frame instead it angered and he smacked my cheeks and punched me several times until i got weak but i still struggled. Gradually

In the kingdom of Ustaria, power and ambition rule, and the throne is the ultimate prize. As the once-mighty King Harley Pennington succumbs to age and illness, the question of who will succeed him sets the royal family and noble houses into a spiraling conflict. Harley, a shrewd but frail monarch, clings desperately to his power, unable to choose between his children, each vying for the throne in their own way. His favoritism toward his reckless youngest son, Prince David, blinds him to the chaos he is creating, as the kingdom teeters on the edge of collapse. The eldest son, Prince Harris, is a seasoned warrior and natural leader, but his impulsive nature and reliance on brute strength make him a divisive figure at court. Princess Ruby, the youngest daughter, is beloved by the people for her intelligence and grace, yet she remains entangled in the webs of court intrigue, unwillingly used as a political pawn. Princess Lilliana, with her foreign ties and secret ambitions, hides her cunning behind a mask of loyalty, biding her time to make her own play for power. Meanwhile, Lord Hugo Wilde, a cunning and vengeful noble, plots in the shadows to usurp the Pennington dynasty. His son, Elliot Wilde, a charming yet calculating figure, is caught between his father’s ambition and his growing love for Princess Ruby. As their dangerous romance unfolds, Elliot becomes embroiled in the deadly game of thrones, balancing his loyalty to his father with the allure of true love. Within the royal court, alliances shift and betrayals simmer beneath the surface. The noble houses, restless and hungry for power, begin to align themselves with different heirs. Foreign nations bribe Ustaria’s nobility, stoking the flames of civil war, and the kingdom is soon caught in a storm of political machinations, secret affairs, and deadly rivalries. As King Harley’s grip on the throne loosens, the Pennington children—each with their own secrets, desires, and dark pasts—are thrust into a brutal contest for the crown. Old loyalties are shattered, and trust becomes a rare commodity. When the king finally falls, the battle for Ustaria’s future will begin, and the cost of the crown may be more than any of them can bear. In this tale of power, betrayal, and love, the true enemy may not be the one holding the sword, but the one holding your heart.

A girl had been locked away in a basement, her condition dire. Her wrists were tied with ropes, and her face reflected fear and exhaustion. Four men stood in the room, mocking her pain with twisted enjoyment. One of them laughed and said, “Don’t bother trying to escape, it’s impossible for you to get out of here.” Another added, “Let’s go outside for a smoke, leave her here to rot. We’ll be back in a while.” Laughing, the four men left the basement, shutting the door behind them. The girl quickly composed herself, determined to free herself from the ropes. After several moments of struggle, she finally loosened the bonds. Her hands and legs were badly bruised, but she ignored the pain and pushed forward. She slipped out of the basement and ran into the dark alley. Her torn gown fluttered in the cold night air, and her loose hair flew wildly behind her as she sprinted, her breath coming in sharp gasps. Despite the pain and fatigue, she didn’t stop. Silence surrounded her, except for the sound of her footsteps echoing in the night. Her body ached, but she kept going, her steps growing more desperate with every passing second. Eventually, she found herself at the edge of a dense forest. Through her blurred vision, she saw a river flowing ahead. There was a faint glimmer of hope in her eyes as she stumbled towards it. Kneeling by the water, she tried to drink, her hands shaking. But before she could take more than a few sips, her strength gave out, and she collapsed unconscious by the riverbank. Outside Mumbai – Edge of the Forest On the edge of this forest stood a grand cottage, owned by Abir Rajvansh. Abir Rajvansh – 30 years old, standing 6 feet 2 inches tall, with sharp features, a wheatish complexion, and a dark, commanding aura. On the surface, Abir appeared as a successful businessman, but deep down, his life was a storm of secrets. Cold and ruthless, Abir viewed the world as nothing more than a game to be played. His eyes always reflected a hidden hatred and anger, emotions he had buried deep within. The Personality of Abir Rajvansh Abir’s calm exterior hid a mind constantly at war. His past cast long shadows over his soul, making him indifferent to the emotions of others. To him, people were mere pawns, and those who dared to challenge him often found their lives reduced to ashes. He had never tasted defeat and knew how to erase his enemies in silence, leaving no trace behind. Abir had come to his cottage with a group of friends to celebrate his birthday. But their celebration was interrupted when one of his friends, who had gone near the river, discovered the unconscious girl lying there. Abir was informed immediately. He raised an eyebrow in surprise and said, “A girl? Out here, in this wilderness?” Questions filled his mind, but he knew something unusual was at play. When Abir saw the girl lying there, her lifeless face and disheveled state, he couldn’t take his eyes off her for a moment. There was a strange restlessness in his gaze that he didn’t quite understand. Without hesitation, he ordered his men to carry her inside the cottage. Now, the question loomed—who was this girl, and how had she ended up here? Abir was eager to uncover the truth, but something else stirred in his heart—an unfamiliar emotion that he couldn’t quite place.
