Bound Beneath His Pain A Dirty Little Secrets

Articos Crisol, um adolescente de 16 anos, é o tipo de cara que chama atenção, mas não pela aparência. Seu cabelo e olhos pretos, que às vezes cobrem seu rosto, lembram o visual de protagonistas de animes, mas Articos é bem mais do que isso. Energético, expressivo e com um Q de mistério, ele se destaca tanto nas notas quanto na aptidão física. Embora tenha uma vida de estudante aparentemente comum, com amigos como Nolan, Christopher e Richard, há algo peculiar nele: seus pais morreram há dois anos, e, estranhamente, isso nunca afetou seu comportamento. Ele mora sozinho no antigo apartamento de seus pais, distante da escola, mas trabalha em uma cafeteria nas proximidades, um lugar que esconde muito mais do que ele imagina. Apesar de sua juventude, Articos possui um segredo que ninguém sabe: ele é mais inteligente do que qualquer pessoa poderia imaginar, uma habilidade forjada pela rigidez dos pais no passado, que o impulsionou a aprender tudo o que podia, só para encontrar algum tipo de paz. Entre o cotidiano de jogos, música e seu amor pelo frio, Articos se vê diante de desafios inesperados, mistérios envolvendo sua inteligência e quem sabe até, o início de um romance. A Cup of Secrets é uma história de vida cotidiana repleta de ação, diversão e momentos românticos, onde Articos terá que navegar por uma trama que pode mudar sua vida para sempre.

MATURE CONTENT WARNING!!: These people be getting freaky in the sheets! "You think I haven’t noticed your eyes on me?" Kai En's voice was dangerously low, his lips curled into a cruel smile. "The way they linger— you can’t decide whether to kill me or kiss me. Am I right, little alpha?" ... For as long as Jun could remember, vengeance had been his only purpose. The last survivor of a disgraced family, he vowed to tear down the empire that destroyed his life, starting with its most prized jewel—Prince Feng Kai En.  Now, under the guise of Xiao Liu, a lowly servant in the prince’s retinue, he plans his revenge. But nothing could have prepared him for what awaited within the palace walls. Neither Xiao Liu’s sharp blades nor detailed plans were good enough to fall the man behind the title. Every failed assassination attempt and heated exchange left him more entangled with the man he was meant to destroy. Kai En—ruthless, untouchable, and powerful. An alpha in the eyes of all. Xiao Liu uncovered the prince’s greatest secret—beneath the façade lay something far more dangerous and vulnerable. Something Xiao Liu intended to exploit. Duty had always been Kai En’s burden. Yet Xiao Liu’s presence stirred emotions long buried—desires with no place in his world. Every attempt on his life only deepened the prince’s fascination, pulling him into the chaos Xiao Liu brought. As war looms and enemies close in, their dangerous dance intensifies. Desire grows where hate once ruled, pulling them into a storm of violence, lust, and something deeper. “You’ll never belong to anyone else,” Xiao Liu snarled, his lips finding Kai En’s neck again, biting down hard. “Not her. Not anyone. You belong to me.” Xiao Liu knows Kai En is the key to his revenge, but the more their lives tangle, the harder it becomes to tell if it’s vengeance he craves… or the prince himself. And Kai En must face the ultimate test that could break his kingdom and heart. Can Xiao Liu destroy the man he’s come to obsess over, or will he fall first?

{WARNING: THIS BOOK IS HIGHLY SMUTTY} "Run, little bird." His voice is a whisper of sin and smoke, curling around my body like chains I cannot break. I should run. I should fight. But I don’t. Because he’s already caught me. A rough hand grips my throat, tilting my chin up—forcing me to meet his eyes. Red. Burning. Ravenous.

I want more. His fingers trail down my spine, lower, lower—until I’m arching, trembling, drowning. "Look at you," he taunts, lips ghosting over my pulse. "So desperate for the monster you fear." I should hate him. I should fight harder. But then his lips brush my ear, and he chuckles—low, dark, merciless, making me give in to his darkhold. "Good girl."
