Chapter 1
Rohit's POV
There was so much to do as my elder brother Rahul was about to get married today. I was rushing from here to there at the beck and call of my mom. She had already given a list of instructions.... Her elder son was getting married..... She was excited about it though she was not very pleased with the girl her son chose to be his wife.
Leena was not very friendly... In fact she looked very self centred. My parents were not very happy about it, but they respected Rahul's decision, afterall it was his life and he wanted to spend it with Leena.
Well I somehow had a doubt about it. Leena was his girlfriend for the last 6 months, but somehow I could never see that spark in their relationship. Infact, I would say that it looked very mundane or business like.
Anyways, I had so many things to manage so I needed to go and check arrangements. As it is, I can't help it as I just had my doubt but I was not sure about it.
My mom was getting paranoid about all the arrangements. I assured her that everything was done. My dad and Bhai were also ready.
Bhai was looking very handsome but somehow he didn't look as happy as one should be. Was he not happy??
I knew that he used to like someone but he never said anything about it. Now he was getting married to Leena so may be he is over that.... But then why is he not excited to be married today?
Dad said that we were getting late so we all drove to the venue and reached there in half an hour.
There were not many people from Leena's side. Her uncle welcomed us. We went to the hall that was scheduled for the wedding. Guests started pouring in. Our friends were also there.
Dad's best friend Kabir uncle came with his family. His daughter Priya was also with them. She was a gem of a person. She looked very pretty, my friends were looking at her. They even asked me who she was. She was talking to my parents. She blushed and shook her head. She started going towards a snack bar and grabbed a glass of juice.
Her eyes started searching for someone..... Well it was Rahul. I saw that he was looking at her too. She smiled at him but he kept on looking at her very intensely. I always knew he liked her but he always denied it. If that was the case, I just couldn't understand the expression in his eyes at this moment.
I went towards her and tapped at her shoulder, she turned to looked at me and smiled. I have always been very fond of her.
"So, someone is dressed to impress all. You are looking so beautiful. You know how many people are looking at you. Where were you all the time?" I said to her and she blushed.
"Rohit please, stop this, I am getting irritated now, everyone is teasing me. I should not have worn saree." She said.
"Oh no, I am not teasing you. You are looking like an angel, infact I am enjoying the fact that I am talking to the prettiest girl here and all the men are glaring at me and my friends there, are asking me to introduce them to you." I said and she shook her head.
"Please, don't do it, I am not interested in anyone." She said
I was sure of it as I have always seen that she used to look at Rahul adoringly. She had eyes only for him. She had some sort of very huge crush on Rahul. They both liked each other but I don't know what was wrong with them....
"I know..." I said very seriously and I knew she was about to ask me, what did I mean by that but just then someone called me and I excused myself and walked away.
I came to know that Leena had eloped leaving a letter for bhai as a pathetic explanation. She decided that she did not want to get married as of now as she was offered a role in some upcoming movie.
Rahul bhai seemed to be very angry and was looking like a wounded lion. I was trying to calm him. Mom and dad were very tense, Priya's parents were trying to calm them just a few yards away.
All of a sudden dad started sweating profusely and kabir uncle shouted for Rahul and I . We came running and took dad to a room. I called for the doctor, and our family doctor rushed to examine dad. Mom was crying and bhai was looking very sad and guilty. I didn't know what to do... I was feeling really bad. Wanted to kill Leena.
The doctor said that dad had an anxiety attack and as he had already had one heart attack last year, so it was not good for him to be anxious.

"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."

He paused, his gaze never leaving mine.
"And I don't share what's mine."
☆
I died on my son's death anniversary, betrayed by the man I'd devoted my entire life to, and the woman who stood by, smiling as I took my last breath… was my very own sister.
When I opened my eyes again, I was five years in the past—before the betrayal, before my death and before the beginning of it all.
This time, I refused to marry the man who destroyed me.
Instead, I walked straight into the arms of the only man the entire Empire feared—Crown Prince Alpha Rhaedon Ashkaar.
Rhaedon was everything Lucien wasn't.
Dangerous. Competent. Powerful.
And the perfect weapon for my revenge.
He wanted the throne. I wanted vengeance.
It should have been the perfect alliance, but revenge was never that simple.
With every step I took toward my revenge, another secret from my first life came to light. The deeper I dug, the more I realized I wasn't the only one playing this game.
And by the time I uncovered the truth...
Walking away from Rhaedon Ashkaar was no longer an option.
After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
I’d appreciate all your support, thank you so much!
From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

With his deep blue eyes fixed on mine, he spoke softly: "Sephie... short for Persephone... Queen of the Underworld. At last, I have found you." Confused by his words, I stammered out a question, “P..pardon? What does that mean?”
But he simply smiled at me and brushed my hair away from my face with gentle fingers: "You are safe now.”

A pack of their own
The CEO's Unspoken Love
Before I could answer, he moved closer, suddenly looming over me, his face inches from mine. I felt my breath caught, my lips parting in surprise.
"Then this is the price for speaking ill of me to others," he murmured, nipping my lower lip before claiming my mouth in a real kiss. It began as punishment but quickly transformed into something else entirely as I responded, my initial rigidity melting into compliance, then active participation.
My breathing accelerated, small sounds escaping my throat as he explored my body. His touches were both punishment and pleasure, drawing shudders from me that I thought he felt reverberating through his own body.
My nightgown had ridden up, his hands discovering more of mine with each caress. We were both lost in sensation, rational thought receding with each passing second...
Three years ago, to fulfill the wish of his grandmother, I was forced to marry Derek Wells, the second son of the family that had adopted me for ten years. He didn't love me, but I had secretly loved him all along.
Now, the three-year contractual marriage is about to end, but I feel that some kind of sentiment has developed between Derek and me that neither of us is willing to admit. I'm not sure if my feelings are right, but I know that we can't resist each other physically...
