Introduction
My first love was adopted by our family, and he promised he would always be there for me.
But after my dad passed away in a car accident, I found him with another woman in our bedroom.
He told everyone Caroline was his true love—that he only saw me as a sister—and claimed I was the one who was pestering him.
I was shamed by everyone. The stress gave my mother a stroke, and Caroline even had someone run me over, costing me an eye.
Seven years later, holding flowers, I ran into them outside a convenience store.
Arthur's son looked at me pityingly. "Dad, this lady lost an eye… Is she selling flowers? Should we buy some?"
But after my dad passed away in a car accident, I found him with another woman in our bedroom.

Chapter 1
I stood outside the convenience store, clutching a huge bouquet of flowers in my arms, waiting for my driver to pick me up.
"Daddy, that lady looks so sad."
A little boy's voice made me look up.
A seven or eight-year-old boy was tugging at his father's sleeve, glancing at me with sympathy. "Daddy, that lady only has one eye... Is she selling flowers? Can we buy one?"
The man turned around.
Arthur.
My first love.
The same man who cost me my right eye.
He clearly recognized me too. The shock flashed across the face I once loved, and then settled into a look of condescending pity.
"Erin?" He stepped closer, his eyes fixed on my eyepatch. "Is it really you? What happened to your eye?"
I didn't answer.
Arthur's eyebrows lifted slightly, as if annoyed by my silence.
The little boy had already pulled some money from his pocket and stood on tiptoe. "Ma'am, how much are the flowers? I'll take them all."
"They're not for sale," I replied flatly.
Arthur's expression grew complicated. He put on that concerned look of his, voice gentle. "Erin, you don't have to pretend with me. After everything we've been through, if you're in trouble, you know I'll help you."
Help.
Had he forgotten?
The person who did this to me—wasn't it him?
And now he stood there, acting all sympathetic, offering to help.
What a joke.
"I'll take you home," Arthur said, already making the decision for me.
The little boy chimed in, "Ma'am, let us give you a ride, okay? Don't feel bad—my dad is the nicest person ever!"
The nicest person.
I shook my head, letting them know it wasn't necessary. I could get home on my own.
I thought I'd made it clear I didn't want anything to do with him, but Arthur didn't seem to get the message.
Disappointment flickered across his face as he shook his head. "If you hadn't made such a scene back then, if you'd just let me help, you wouldn't be in this mess now."
In this mess.
"Is that really the problem?" I lifted my head, meeting his gaze with my good eye. "Was it just because I refused your help?"
From the very beginning, it was Arthur who crushed my heart, humiliated me, hurt me—and stood by while I went through hell.
Arthur's face darkened instantly.
A blaring car horn cut through the tension.
A white sedan pulled up beside us, the window rolling down to reveal a flawless face.
Caroline Jensen.
Arthur's wife.
One of the culprits who destroyed my love—and helped turn me into what I am.
"Erin?" she called out, sounding genuinely surprised.

I never knew my blood could kill a king—until I met one. Sebastian, the ruthless and immortal King, rules with precision. For centuries, he's ruled with ruthless precision, his heart as cold as the stone throne beneath him. One moment, I'm nothing. The next, I'm his obsession. His touch burns like ice fire. His stare follows me through shadows. And when he feeds from me—God help me—it feels like drowning in darkness and craving more. He tells me my blood is unlike any he's tasted, that my scent drives him to the edge of madness.
He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.

Ashveil University is not what it looks like in the photographs. The students here carry something that shifts their eyes at the edges of anger. The northwest trees hold an attention that trees should not be able to hold. And the empty chair at the council table, the one nobody sits in, the one nobody explains, has been waiting three hundred years for one specific person to arrive.

My Billionaire Husband's Secret
3.5k Views · Ongoing · Linda
After college, Lucas pursued me relentlessly.
He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.
He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.
But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.
Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.
Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.
Do you really know your husband?
From that day on, my life filled with shadows.
I suspected my husband of having an affair.
When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.
I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.
My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."
The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"
I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.
But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.
Does Lucas truly love me?
And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?
