STATUS : ONGOING (New release every Saturday, EST) ====== Excerpt : He sketched a regal bow, removing his hat. "Forgive me for my late introduction, Your Highness. Zagan Kadlec, at your service." "Kadlec?" She tested the strange name on her tongue. "I've never heard of you before." "I've recently migrated from Vregia." He took a seat on the fountain bench, patting the empty spot beside him. "Have a seat. I won't bite, I promise." Despite his verbal assurance, Akila couldn't shake the feeling of being preyed upon. Power emanated from his pores, from his posture, his manner of speech and those eyes that seemed to look right into her soul. To refuse him a second time would be impolite. Squaring her shoulders, she accepted his invitation and arranged her skirts carefully so they wouldn't crease. "You're a very beautiful woman," he said bluntly, his fingers tracing the smoothness of her dress. "And this colour becomes you." She swallowed nervously. "Thank you." "Why are you out here alone? It's dangerous for a woman to be walking around unchaperoned even if it's in your own home, princess." "Are you referring to yourself?" she blurted out, her eyes flying to his. Zagan barked out in amusement, the transformation of his eyes from hardness to liquid mercury was amazing, making him appear less intimidating. "Touché, Princess. I apologize once more for scaring you. I merely longed for some company and happened to encounter a beautiful woman in a red dress by the fountain. Like a water sprite, you captivated me. Although, it certainly breaks my heart to know that you're engaged to Ywain. If we had met earlier, I would have courted you myself." A smile flirted along her lips. "You are being dramatic, sir. I am but a woman, nothing more." "Ah." He tipped her chin upwards, his face descending towards hers until their noses brushed. "But you are truly a unique woman. Certainly no one else has ever captured my attention like you have. I am honestly intrigued and had to introduce myself." She stammered from his proximity and force of his gaze. "I-I…I'm flattered that you feel that way but, I'm engaged to the man I love." For a split second, severity returned to his eyes before it vanished. "It doesn't matter to me," he murmured, lashes lowered as he stared at her parted lips. "All I want is a taste. I'm not asking you to marry me." "S-sir?" Her heart began to pace, with alarm or anticipation she couldn't decide. Either way, she couldn't let this man steal a kiss. She began to pull away, but his hand shot out to capture her nape, holding her prisoner. ============= Author's Note: SAVE THIS TO YOUR LIBRARY.

Extract I always have my diary with me; today, I dreamt of waking up on the bed of a handsome young man; he was tall, having a broad chest and a killer smile. My phone beep, meaning I need to leave now; I can't believe I will be this jobless at the age of 23. On my way home, I got stuck in traffic, and a heavy, down pour started; I saw the man from my dream stepping out of the car, unknown to him, someone held a knife to kill him. I screamed no, but I ended up taking his fall; that's all I remembered before passing out. * * "Your Highness, we need to leave with another route; it seems this place is not safe for you, even in your disguise, you got recognised." "I can't leave this innocent lady to death; let's take her along." I insisted. "What of your father and especially your mother and Fiancee?" "I will hide her identity, for now, I owe this lady my life, after 100days when everything is clear, you bring her back here to her town, which I believe she is from." * * What kind of love are we suspecting might develop with two strangers? Hyuk is already engaged to Eun? Let's ride with this all

“You think walking away means freedom?” His voice was quiet, a velvet snare. “In this city, freedom is an illusion.” Elena’s throat tightened, but she steadied herself. “And yet here you stand, playing king of illusions.” The faintest spark of amusement lit his eyes. “Bold. But you misunderstand.” He leaned in slightly, his breath brushing her cheek. “I don’t play king. I play predator.” Her pulse hammered. She wanted to laugh in his face, to spit out some sharp retort—but her body betrayed her. Every nerve screamed danger, yet beneath it, treacherously, was a pull. A heat she despised. She stepped sideways, forcing space between them. “Predators eventually starve when prey stops running.” Dante followed with a single, measured step, reducing the gap again. “Ah, but you’re not running, are you? You’re standing. You’re challenging. And that…” His eyes darkened, lingering on her face as though studying each flicker of resistance. “…that is what makes you dangerous. That is what makes you tempting.”

He was hired to kill her He saw her He was captivated by her She was now his captive He decided to love her to her death Or will she be his death? Who knows for how long his bloodied heart can withstand such a pure innocent girl ----- "I can kill you with ease, my love", he said mockingly as his grasp around her neck tightened. Her eyes didn't flutter as she placed her hands on his that was tightening around her neck. She smiled brightly at him and with her soft voice she uttered, "Hand in hand together in death. No regret." Her eyes bore into his as if she was enjoying his attention on her. After all, he had just come back from a long trip and they both missed each other very dearly. ------ Author note: This couple is not a very normal one and the girl is very peculiar and lacks the usual sense of danger that a person has. Just saying that this work is fictional and they are a fictional couple so please do read with an open mind for absurdity at times.
