addiction and grace

Gu Xiaoer had only rented a temporary boyfriend, but she ended up with a bonus clingy CEO. He was a young and promising elite who clung to her alone, transforming into a devoted wife-favoring fiend. "Honey, I want to eat shrimp dumplings." The next moment, the tastiest shrimp dumplings from Country C were fed to her lips. "Honey, you aren't as romantic as others," she complained. Immediately after, candlelight, fireworks, yacht trips, and seventy-two other romantic gestures—she experienced them all one after the other…

An Lan had been swallowing her grievances for three years as a daughter-in-law in the Huo Family, hoping to protect her mother. She never expected that her mother would still meet her untimely death. Losing everything, An Lan was driven to the brink of despair and started to act recklessly. "Mom, have you told Zhan Ting about the debts you accumulated from gambling?" "Young miss, did you secretly use a credit card to buy this skirt?" "And you! Huo Zhanting, do you actually think I could ever fancy you?" Transformed into "Provoking An", An Lan originally planned to use Huo Zhanting to carry out her revenge but realized something was off, "Huo Zhanting, you can't possibly be falling for me, can you?" "Hmm, do you have a problem with that?" Huo Zhanting simply retorted, "Even if you do, you're not allowed to complain. An Lan, you can only be mine!"

"I Emma DRACKSON, hereby, reject you, Derek, Alpha of the Blue Moon's Pack as my mate." Derek's eyes twitched, and his fists balled, but Emma was far from being done. "Don't ever search for me for whatever reason. I never want to see you again all the days of my life. If I ever find any of your people spying on me, I will kill them, or better, I will burn them alive. Do you understand what I just said?" She asked when she was done. But Derek was mute. Melvina tried talking, but Emma shut her up with a wave of her hand." I'm disappointed in you, Melvina. So, keep shut." She stated in anger, not minding the murmurings from the crowd.  She knew why, but she didn't care.

He asked, crossing his legs, he raised a brow; Tiana's lips slanted and her eyes narrowed at him; ''As long as you pay me, I'll do whatever you want. '' Nicklaus was amazed by her sudden audaciousness; but he was sure she was just trying to seem bold, He knew her, she was just a weak, trembling soul, and she was trying so hard to mask it; A smirk appeared on his lips as a thought came into his mind; ''Whatever I want? '' He asked again and Tiana replied immediately without a second thought; ''Yes, Mr. Nicklaus, whatever you want. '' ''Alright then, I want you to strip yourself and go lie down on the bed.

Leh Ying found herself acquainted with the higher echelons she should not aspire to, and when the profligate young master Liu Huaiying pursued her relentlessly, she had no escape. A fleeting glimpse of Young Master Xu, Xu Jingxi's appearance, had her heart fluttering, and her spirit moved; the Xu family was the center of power within Forty-Nine City, and only he could change the game. On a snowy night, by the door of the Mercedes Benz G Class, she tiptoed and gently cupped her palm to light a cigarette for Xu Jingxi. The man’s lips leisurely wrapped around the cigarette, and he leaned slightly towards her. His clear-cut face partially lowered into the backlight’s shadow, the flame at the tip of the cigarette flickered faintly between them. When he finally looked up, his eyes were calm and indifferent, and he asked in a rising inflection, “What do you want?” Leh Ying, “Only what you can give.” Others quickly realized, “That Xu Jingxi, born into high chambers, his flesh and bones saturated with a profound desire for power. For someone like him, even feelings are superfluous. What do you have to gamble your status with him?” Keeping her by his side was merely Xu Jingxi’s pastime for his loneliness. He was accustomed to acting out scenes, she never sought status, and turned to leave the capital to hold an art exhibition. Just as she packed and entered the elevator, Xu Jingxi stood tall in the center, his index finger slowly hooking the fine bone necklace at the front of her neck and gently pulling her back as she moved to step out. ** That Valentine's Day night, within the Third Ring, luxury hotels were fully booked, and some witnessed the entire BVG Hotel being reserved by Young Master Xu. What left the deepest impression on Leh Ying was the man half-kneeling on the bed, wearing a loosely tied bathrobe, biting on a pen cap, and picking up a Thin Gold Calligraphy Style brush to inscribe three characters along the edge of her collarbone—Xu Jingxi.

"....She was his drug, he was her water..." ............. Arissa had always been an avid fan of freedom. She hated nothing more than being tied down to a relationship, especially when she was still in her early twenties. Yet, her parents had come up with an ultimatum marriage proposal. Strong-willed, confident, independent, and wild Arissa was forced to be humble to her parents and grant their wish of doing something extreme to her to save the life of someone she loves to a fault... And let's not forget, she lives for that person. Fast forwarding to Nicklaus Wyatt, we have a successful, cold-hearted, and Dominant CEO. On the outside, he is the most successful man on planet Earth and the most eligible bachelor but on the inside, he is an extremely damaged and broken soul of no repairs. His mysterious Aura also made it extremely hard for anyone to come close so, they just admired him from a distance. He only has one wish and that is to expand his empire more and not some stupid marriage proposal. So, do we think he would accept the marriage deal?? ....... "I'm your wife and yet, we live like strangers do!" Arissa seethed, gripping his tie in her fist as she tried to support herself. "Of course, it would eventually result in something as ridiculous as a cheating scandal. We aren't even acting like a normal couple should!" She emphasized lowly. Bringing her hand to wrap around his neck, she suddenly missed her footing again and then, she braced herself for the fall about to come but surprisingly, a strong arm for the second time in a night, held her waist firmly. Arissa smiled drunkenly as she made herself comfortable in his strong arms. Bringing her both hands to his checks, she gave them a pinch. "You were scared I would fall?" she asked him with a drunken smile. Yet, that smile was quickly replaced with a frown when she met with nothing but a cold gaze in reply. She pouted and brought her hand to his mouth. Tracing his lips with her slender fingers, "We don't even kiss" she complained with a smile, and at the same time, unknown tears slipped from her eyes. Nicklaus stared at her tears and down at her plump-tinted red lips. He stared at her face again and at her eyes that are already fully stocked with tears and without a second thought, he bent slightly and gave her a light kiss on her lips. SPOILER ALERT::Don't expect a fast romance. Romance would come late because both ML and FL are hard to tame. Their relationship would also go through numerous ups and downs, including occasional break-ups, aggressive ex-girlfriends, attempted murderers, and more. But, would their love strive through all the obstacles or would a few blows and manipulation crumble them Disclaimer: cover is not mine. Daily update, 14 chapters a week. Bonus chapters when pleased.

[Love After Marriage] Proud and Pretends to be Sweet Heiress VS Sexy and Arrogant Retired Racer Natalie Vaughn took a liking to the blind date arranged by her family at first sight. She doesn’t like the smell of smoke, but she likes the scent on Zane Thorne after he's smoked. She’s not obsessed with hands, but she likes the sexy protruding veins on Zane Thorne’s hand. She’s utterly captivated by Zane Thorne’s lazy, casual yet explosively sexy demeanor when he smokes and drinks. To her, Zane Thorne always has an inexplicable attraction. Natalie Vaughn said to her best friend: “He looks fucking handsome when he smokes.” “If given the chance, I must touch his hand properly.” The veins protruding on Zane Thorne’s hand flow with blood that’s enchanted for her. So she uses her captivating peach blossom eyes, sometimes pretending to be obedient in front of Zane Thorne, sometimes as proud as a thorned wild rose. She’s good at using those slightly watery eyes to look pitiful, staring straight at the man to express her interest, yet never stating it outright. Step by step, leading him into the trap. Zane Thorne thinks this little girl is of a proud nature, not weak, never making a sound even if in pain. He can always tell when she's pretending to be sweet, and he always acts like he doesn’t understand with his straightforward male nature. But Natalie Vaughn’s eyes are truly captivating, occasionally leading him willingly into her trap. In the end, he is truly ensnared by her, unable to break free. Later, Zane Thorne said, "As long as you look at me, I just want to embrace you tightly." Natalie Vaughn thinks, getting a man like Zane Thorne captivated isn’t wasted effort with her pretending and coaxing.

He Yuan had accidentally caused his own death. He had no idea he was even dead until he suddenly woke up on the hard floor of an empty room. What had killed him? Well... for future reference, it's a terrible idea to install a chandelier over your bed. As he tried to get his bearings right, a strange guy suddenly popped out of thin air and he was offered a job. The job offer granted him eternal life with the alternative being reincarnation. Most would hastily choose to be reincarnated so they can start a new life but not He Yuan. He was skeptical, why would anyone want reincarnation? Once you reincarnated 'you' cease to exist. He didn't care about what people said about starting afresh, gaining new memories and all that. All he knew was that once a person reincarnated, they get thrown into a different environment, different family, meet new people and in short became a different person entirely. What scared He Yuan the most was losing his own thoughts and hence, awareness of his current self and so, he chose to accept the job. What did the job entail? He carried out tasks given to him by people who were called 'leasers.' They were called this because they leased out their bodies to 'taskers' for a period of time to help set their crooked lives straight. What the leasers didn't know was that the taskers got into realms and helped them so they( taskers) could focus on their own main tasks which was world/realm balance. These realms had 'special ones' who siphoned the luck out of it. Luck was the binding force of these realms so without it, the realms would begin to break apart and deteriorate into unlivable hells. So in essence, leasers gave put their bodies and 'payment' in the form of soul energy, taskers helped out the leasers while balancing the realms and the realms become stable once more. Pretty straightforward right? Yes. But can someone tell He Yuan why these world was so full of hypocrites, Mary sue and Gary stu characters who thought it was excusable to do horrible things just because they were in love? He Yuan grit his teeth. If you want to be in love, then be in love, was there any need to use others as stepping stones?! He rolled up his sleeves and bounced forward. Just you wait as I teach you all a valuable lesson! #Gongmc UPDATES: Twice daily ORIGINAL STORY.

If the artist demands I take it down, I would do so without hesitation as I only have my lack of talent to blame.

Grace Harper har altid været en outsider – opfostret i en ulveflok, der aldrig rigtig accepterede hende, adopteret af en alfa med for mange hemmeligheder. Da hendes ekskæreste forlader hende til fordel for sin mage, og sandheden om hendes adoption kommer for en dag, ved Grace, at hun må flygte ... eller dø i forsøget. Men hendes vej til frihed kolliderer med Lycan Kongen. Kold, magtfuld og tynget af spøgelser fra en fortid, han nægter at dele, ønsker Caine ikke Grace i sin verden. Han tror ikke, hun hører hjemme i nogen anden verden end sin egen. Og alligevel, med skæbnen, der binder deres sjæle sammen, begynder hans kontrol at slå revner. Grace bad aldrig om hans beskyttelse. Hun bad heller aldrig om at begære ham. Men noget urgammelt er ved at vågne, og jo dybere hun dykker ned i sandheden om sin fortid, jo mere indser hun: Måske var det aldrig meningen, at hun skulle være fri. Måske var det meningen, at hun skulle forandre alt. Startende med ham. ---- *Grace of a Wolf* er den lettere vanvittige romance mellem en menneskepige med ubekvem menneskelig moral og hendes mildt sociopatiske skæbnebestemte mage – som tilfældigvis også er Lycan Kongen og har den følelsesmæssige intelligens som en sten. Heldungvis bliver deres farligt magnetiske bånd (knap nok) afbalanceret af kaos fra en funden familie, en røvfuld magi og en forbindelse som skæbnebestemte mager, der rent faktisk kan slå hende ihjel, hvis de rører hinanden. Ups. Lige når du tror, du læser *endnu en varulvehistorie*, sniger plottet og verdensopbygningen sig ind på dig med kløer, tænder og reelle konsekvenser. Den er slow-burn, følelsesmæssigt rodet og spækket med den slags spænding, der kan slå dig ihjel – eller kysse dig. --- **ADVARSLER:** R18: Smut, smut, smut. Også mørke temaer, herunder, men ikke begrænset til: Mord, mordforsøg, en stak lig, forræderi, mild sociopati, en mandlig hovedperson, der ser ud til at bade i røde flag, på trods af at hans yndlingsfarve er grøn, et uberettiget had til blåbærmuffins og pudetyveri. En **slow burn**, krydret urban fantasy-romance om ulveskiftere med en masse tilfældigt plot, der forsøger at "knot-blocke" alt. Når de hede scener rammer, bedes du læse ansvarligt. Tak~
