There's nowhere else he'd rather be but to be with her... (Warning: This novel has mature-r18 content) Raven lost her parents at a very young age and ended up living under the protection of the Chois, a family friend. However, the only son and heir of the Choi was dead set in not letting her become a legal member of the Choi as his sister. Yet, she still did everything so he could accept her as his sister. Jordan was the only heir of the Choi Empire. No one could deceive him and he allowed no one or any circumstances to snatch what he worked hard for, and that was how he took the Choi Empire, his father's hard work, to a new height. However, things messed up when his father suddenly threatened him he would be disinherited if he did not get married and give him a grandchild, or all the rights to the Choi's Empire would be transferred to Raven Lee. Thus, he offered Raven a contract to be a legal member of the Choi Family... not as his sister but as his wife! ********* Excerpt: "I will help you out with marriage. However, I have conditions you will have to meet..." 'No consummation of marriage?' Jordan wanted to laugh and frown at the same time while reading one of Raven's conditions. 'Is she kidding me?' he mused with a smirk. Consummation of marriage was definitely a top priority on his list.
In the eyes of everyone, Raven is a rich girl to be envied who is the daughter of a super plutocrat and the darling of all families.
As a lady of high classes, she has an enviable life, everything seems literally perfect.
Oh, not that perfect, as she has an unrelated brother who is ten years older than her.
In fact, her brother is the real son of this great family. And the head of this family Empire, Senior Choi, is Raven's godfather.
"My child! The letter's here!"
This afternoon, Raven was playing chess with her godfather when she heard Nanny Rong excitedly shout at her from just outside the garden.
Raven understood, the time of judgement had come.
Looking up, the woman handed her the letter. Meanwhile, Senior Choi looked at his little Raven, who seemed to be oblivious to what was just handed to her.
"Come on," Nanny Rong impatiently egged on. "Open it up already."
"Why don't you give it to me and I'll read it for the rest of us?" Senior Choi chuckled as he waved at the nanny.
At the instruction, Nanny Rong immediately passed the letter on to Senior Choi. As her godfather quietly read the letter, she silently observed his expression, still unsure of what to do herself.
Raven knew, this letter might take a change of her life.
Raven actually was born in a wealthy family too, but when she was three, a car accident took away her parents ans she's the only survivor. Senior Choi as the best friend of her parents adopted her.
Senior Choi took good care of Raven like his own daughter, as good as the love her brother Jordan did give her.
But as Raven grew up day and day then closed to 18, she felt the relationship between Jordan and her had changed. It became... remote and strange. Especially after Senior Choi retired from the board of directors, and Jordan started to take over all the Choi Empire.
Choizen Group or Choi's Empire was one of the largest conglomerates with business interests in air transportation, banking, food manufacturing, hotels, petrochemicals, power generation, publishing, real estate and property development, and telecommunications.
In truth, Raven believed that Jordan disliked her because he thought of her as a competitor, that she would take a share in the company or his father's wealth, which was definitely not the case.
Getting close to him enough that she saw him as a brother had been way too difficult for her. She really tried to lessen his hate towards her, but nothing seemed to work as their chilly relationship still remained.
But now, she got a chance.
She had applied to a world-class university overseas and she was ready to go abroad to study. Such a distance was enough to make her brother drop his guard against her.
"Master, is it good news?" Nanny Rong asked, already getting restless as she looked more and more eager than the other two people present.
An unpleasant expression showed on Senior Choi's face as he let out an exasperated sigh. Seeing the reaction, Nanny Rong's mouth twitched.
"So, is it bad news?" Raven asked again, holding her breath as she waited for an answer.
"As I've told you before, little Raven, there are a lot of good schools here in our country. You don't have to study abroad," he reasoned, looking intently at his little girl. "Why bother yourself with the hardships of living alone and choose to leave your old man behind?"
In all honesty, he wanted her to stay with him, in the house where he had brought her up ever since she was a child. Why she grew up so quick and eager to fly away from him?
After seeing her godfather's grim expressions, as well as hearing his comments, Raven's shoulders dropped in disappointment. She was already assuming that she wasn't accepted at the school she had applied to abroad.
Spotting his goddaughter's downcast expression and Nanny Rong's fading excitement, Senior Choi chuckled. This made both the women snap their heads towards him in surprise, their questioning eyes boring into him as they waited for an answer.
Senior Choi knew all that she had in her mind. He knew that she loved him from the bottom of her heart, yet she still wanted to explore life independently. And despite his own misgivings, even he agreed with the way she thought. He also wanted his little Raven to do what she thought was good for her future. Whatever decision she might take, he would always support her as much as he could.
Then Senior Choi suddenly blurted out, "Is there any thing my little Raven couldn't make it? Of course, she passed!" He then raised the letter up in pride. "This letter's the confirmation of her admission to the university!"
Nanny Rong gasped in both shock and relief as she shook her head in delight, 'The Old Master's still as naughty as ever...' She looked at Raven, who was now jumping on her feet in excitement as she ran to approach her father.
"Really, Father?! It's not another joke!?" she confirmed, still in disbelief at what she heard. "Let me see!"
Her patience wearing thin, Raven took it upon herself and snatched the letter from his hands. Scanning and confirming the news herself, only then did she hug the man as tightly as she could.
"I passed! I made it! I truly did it!" she cheered aloud, almost choking her father with her hug as she almost took him with her in her jumps.
"We have to celebrate," Senior Choi chuckled as he regained his composure. "What do you want to do, little Raven?"
"I'll treat you for dinner tonight, Father," Raven quickly answered with a smile. "What would you like to eat?"
At his goddaughter's words, Senior Choi immediately ordered,
"Nanny Rong, call Jordan. Tell him to clear his schedule and be present at home for dinner right on time. Our little Raven is going to treat us with dinner tonight."

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself.

Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate."

"Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
