prologue
I was known as the Miss Prim and Proper of our university. Always wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, or a skirt that is always below the knee in length. My hair was always tied up, and I never wore bangs. Bangs are just too much of a nuisance on the face, especially when they hit the eyes.
I always carry books with me. Especially when I'm inside the university. I earned respect from the teachers because of that. Also, I was always at the top of the class. So I take care of my title of Miss Prim and Proper. Because that's the only way I get respect.
Many were annoyed, but nobody dared to oppose me. Why? Because I am the best friend of the most beautiful and hottest girl at the university.
Artemis Gallagher.
She has the power, the beauty, the fame, the money, and whatnot. She's like the epitome of beauty. Many men admire her but cannot form a bond because of her two brothers. She was the only girl of the Gallagher siblings, so it would be terrible if her brother could protect her.
And since Artemis is my friend, no one tried to fight with me, even though many were jealous. Many girls want to take my place, but they can't do anything.
"I hate Apollo."
I looked at the speaker who just sat in front of me while I was reading alone here in the library. It was my best friend, Artemis. And her face is frowning again. And for sure, her twin is probably the reason she looks like this.
"What now?" I asked, looking back at the book I was reading.
"He saw me talking to Joshua and just pulled me out of there! I left Joshua there! I mean, I was only talking with him! What's wrong with that?"
I put down the book I was reading because I'm sure I wouldn't understand anything there either. I arranged my scattered things and stood up to leave the library. With Artemis's noise, I'm sure we'll be scolded inside, so it's better if we talk outside.
"He's annoying!" Artemis continued as we got outside. "I don't say anything when he changes from woman to woman, but I'm just talking to the man; will he be banned? That was so unfair!"
A lot of people we meet greet her, but she doesn't pay attention because she's busy ranting to me about her brother. When we entered the cafeteria, I immediately looked for a seat.
"You know what, Daphne? Why don't you seduce my twin brother? Maybe he'll stop with me when he falls in love with you."
I looked at my best friend to see if she had grown a third eye. What the hell was she saying?
"Are you kidding me? You know I don't like playboys," I said, and as if on cue, we saw his twin entering the cafeteria with a new girl.
"That bitch is a slut. I hope he at least chooses a decent woman, right?" Artemis complained. Well, what does she expect? A playboy is for sluts only.
When I got home, I stood outside the gate of our house for a few minutes. I don't want to go inside. I don't want to go home, but I have no choice.
"Is Mama there, Manang?" I asked Manang Rosi when she opened the gate for me. She smiled sadly at me and nodded. I held my breath.
The usual day, huh?
When I entered the house, I was immediately attacked by the smell of alcohol. I sighed even more. I saw Mama in the living room, and it looked like she was drowning herself in alcohol again. When she saw me, he laughed out loud.
"Ah! The devil's daughter is here!"
I froze at what she said. Even if you say it every day, I still can't avoid being hurt. I approached her to steer, but she shook my hand.
"Don't touch me!" She tried to stop me, but because she was so drunk, she was no longer pointing directly at me. "You're the reason why my life is ruined! You! You two and your demon father!"
I sighed for the ninth time. I turned my back on her and went to my room. I know she will never stop saying hurtful things about me.
I did my routine. I showered and got ready. I put on my red lipstick and a smokey eyeshadow for my eyes. Then I blow-dried my waist-length hair and curled it. Then I wear a red halter dress that almost fits my body.
Then I got into my car and drove to the bar where I often go. The bouncer outside didn't even pay attention to me, and I continued to enter. I immediately went straight to the bar counter and ordered a Bloody Mary.
I was prim and proper at the university, but at night this bar filled me up.
I don't want to be at home. I don't want to see Mama. She always blames me for what happened in her life. She is angry with me, I know. and if it was possible for my parents to shop, I would have done it.
Want to know why my own mother hates me?
She was raped, and I was the result. Her then-boyfriend break up with her because of what happened. She can't put my father in jail because he's rich. And to make up for what he did, he sent us money every month. That Mama only consumes when she drinks alcohol.
God. I hate my life.
"Hi, miss. Can I buy you a drink?"
I looked at the man who spoke to me. He's good-looking. but I'm not here to hook up. I'm not new to being approached by men when I'm here at the bar.
"I'd love a drink, as long as you're not under the impression that offering me one will entice me to hook up with you later." I said it flatly, and the man frowned as he just left without saying goodbye.
I shook my head. Boys and their pick-up lines
"Did it hurt?"
With surprised eyes, I looked at the man who had asked me before.
"Did what hurt?" I asked, completely confused.
"When you fell from heaven,"
I was literally tormented by what he said. Lines like that have been scratched. Is there anything new?
"I dug my way up from hell." I said this while smiling sweetly at him. The man looked stunned.
"Oh. Well, this is awkward," he said, and just like before, he just left.
I saw the bartender smiling and shaking his head at me. He always sees how I reject men who approach me. I raised my glass at him before I emptied it and decided to go home.
On my way out, I was stunned. I saw Apollo Gallagher sitting on the couch with two women by his side. I got nervous. I don't want anyone at my university to see this look. That's why the bar I go to is far away, but why is he here? I am Miss Prim and Proper. And if someone sees me, my reputation will surely be ruined.
I quickly walked away, especially when I passed the couch where Apollo was sitting. I didn't look back when I passed, and he might still see me. I drove my way home and immediately got dressed and went to sleep.
"Daphne, I have a date with Joshua later."
I was surprised when Artemis said that. She knows she can't go on a date because she's a closed guard, especially with her twin. But what can I do? That's her life.
Speaking of her twin, did he see me last night?
"When my twin asks, it's up to you to sneak in, okay?" She said, which surprised me more.
"Don't blame me for the mess in your love life, Artemis." I said that and looked back at the book.
"Go ahead, please, Daphne," she begged, but she stopped when someone texted her cell phone. "Joshua is waiting for me at our meeting place. It's up to you, Daphne? Bye!"
I wanted to scream and chase her, but I was in the library. What the heck! That one is also reprimanded! I will still sympathize! This Joshua is becoming a bad influence!
I have my own problems, but it looks like my best friend's love life is even worse. I'm here.
I saw Apollo enter the library, so I stopped complaining in my mind and pretended to be reading. I almost caught my breath when he sat in the chair in front of me.
"Where's Artemis?" he asked, using hard words.
"I do not know." I answered because I couldn't think of an excuse. How brilliant of me!
"Liar." he said. "I saw her come out here, so I'm sure you know where she's going."
I looked up at him and raised an eyebrow. And I saw it. his piercing blue eyes that everyone in the Gallagher family is obsessed with. And now that I saw the man's eyes up close, I couldn't help but be amazed.
"Done admiring me?"
I blinked and saw his smile at me. Shame! He caught me staring at him!
I immediately tried to hide my embarrassment.
"You saw your twin come out here. Why didn't you just follow her instead of asking me?" I asked him bluntly, and I saw amusement in his eyes. Then he chuckled before shrugging his shoulders.
"Because I mean you," he said while still wearing his smirk.
"I?"
"Yes, you. Miss Prim and Proper, who goes to the bar every night,"
I immediately got a nervous attack because of what he said. Confirmed! He saw me last night! And I don't know how I can get through it!
"I'm not what you saw." I tried, but I knew he didn't believe me because he laughed.
"Alright. Try to deny it as long as you can, Miss Prim and Proper." He leaned forward, so I could almost smell his fragrant breath. "I'll surely get you out of your shell," he said before leaving me there alone.
My fists are clenched. My secret is out. Someone already knows my secret. And the bad news is that Apollo Gallagher knew then. And I'm scared that everyone will know that I was a product of rape.
How doomed am I?
Joanna didn't hesitate to return to the Philippines to fulfill her closest friend's request. Her mission: to seek revenge on the eldest child of the Villa Franca couple. Upon arriving in San Andres, where Hacienda Villa Franca is located, she stayed at a resort for a few nights. The opportunity seemed fitting as the Villa Franca siblings were present. The challenge was that she didn't actually know which of the two handsome men had hurt her friend Ivy, and Ivy never mentioned a name before disappearing from the world. So, Joanna observed discreetly and felt her way through. Until the mischievous-looking guy called his brother 'Kuya' without moving his lips for a smile. The one with the dangerous look, yet so damn gorgeous and hot: Nash Villa Franca. Joanna executed her plan without hesitation... Will she succeed?
"Just stay by his side until he remembers everything." "No. I have money, Ylona. I don't need your money," I told her coldly. "Why are you so hard to get? We need your help because Hercules is finding you! I'm his fiance but he can't remember anything! why does he have to look for you and not me." Frustration filled her face "That's not my problem anymore. If this is all we're going to talk about, I don't want to. I'm leaving," I told them coldly. I stood up and walked towards the door. I was about to go out when I was stunned by what he said. "You don't want? Then just wait, Talitha. Your money will disappear." I clenched my fist because of what he said. I didn't look at them anymore and walked straight out. I didn't pay attention to the way they looked at me. this is the last step I will take again. I traveled again towards La Consalancion because I had a lot left to do. It's been a few days since we talked to Hercules' family. They didn't bother me again and that's a good thing. I followed him with a smile while he smiled as he waved the toy. Caitlin is not here because she has a job at the resort that I also own. After we broke up, I left and started my own business. "You want more?" I asked him smiling. He quickly nodded. "Lithaaaa!!!" I stopped eating Baby Hero when Leon, my gay friend, came. "Why, Leon?" I asked him in wonder "Mrs. Galvez was at the resort. I'm looking for you and have companions, rich people." I felt my heart beat because of what he said. Rich? Maybe it's not them. I took Baby Hero from the chair and lifted him up. "Alright, I'm going. Come with me." Mrs. Galvez is the owner of the land where my resort is located. I just held my breath before I got on Leon's tricycle. In less than a few minutes we arrived. I see Caitlin who is outside the resort and seems to be waiting for someone. when he saw me, his face seemed to light up and he quickly approached me. "Litha, good and here it is. Here are the parents of your ex-husband," he whispered to her. I bit my lip before I gave him Baby Hero. Take care of him first. I first kissed Hero who was now smiling at me. "Mrs. Galvez," I called the lady. It quickly stood up and looked at me. "You're here, Ms. Fernandez. I want to talk to you about the land that you haven't fully paid yet," she said. I didn't look at them and only at Mrs. Just Galvez. "Can you straight to the point, Mrs. Galvez?" He sighed first. "I'm selling it to the Guevara couple." "We have something to talk about, Mrs. Galvez," I said emphatically. "Business is Business, Ms. Fernandez." got up and left so the three of us were left. My fist clenched because of the anger I would feel. Heartless! "What are you doing this to me? You said I don't want to enter your world! Haven't you put me through enough?" I told them without emotion "Even me, I will never let you into my daughter's world, Talitha. But because my daughter needs you, I will do it for her, even though I hate it." "I hate it too, Ylona. I hate it because I became your mother-in-law," I told her without emotion. he quickly looked at me and glared at me. "You hate me but you're here in front of me now and you're forcing your son to care for me?" "Because he needs you, Talitha! I'll pay doub—" I was startled by a small hand resting on my thigh. I looked down and a smiling child was looking at me while he was presenting something. "M-Mom!" "Hero..."
"Where did that go?" I asked myself again. We're not friends but we're pretty close to each other, and I know he rarely goes out or leaves his office. "Maybe it's just there." I answered myself again and then searched. The whole library is spacious because this school is also large. Some students here are sons and daughters of business tycoons and politics so it's not surprising. I've almost gone around all the bookshelves with their backs to each other but I still don't have mika, so does Arries, it's amazing, especially since I feel different. Girls instinct matches. in the back I could not go so I went there when I heard someone talking, as if whispering. I know Mika and Arries, because I haven't seen anyone else yet and go home, especially since Mika is the only librarian here and I also saw Arries enter here. I was about to turn around to prove that they were when I heard a growl. "Ahh Arries maybe someone will see us here." The woman growled at Arries. My chest throbbed with excitement, "No! This cant be!" My brain objected. Arries was inside and if I'm not mistaken Mika was the woman who moaned earlier. my tears are already dripping, I can't accept, but my mind is trying to focus that it's not them, that other Aries and Mika are inside, but who did I fool? There are no other names for those two here who are our co-teachers, if there is a student it is very impossible. "Ohh shit! I really love you Mika." The man growled. There I stopped sobbing when Aries proved that my boyfriend was doing nonsense right inside the library, he was still the principal but he acted like a pig. I still accept that he hangs out outside but what he does right here inside the school is too much. To hurt myself even more and prove to myself that my boyfriend and my co-staff are doing the miracle, I peeked, I saw that Mika's uniform was almost open as well as Arries who was in a hurry to get down and remove the belt and open the zipper of the dress. I tried not to make any noise, during the time that Arries and I were together I didn't even notice anything strange about him, he was as tender as the first time we were so it was hard to accept for me. We've been together for four years but I think that's not enough when it comes to talking about the flesh. the entire staff as well as the students knew the relationship between the two of us, others were expecting the wedding we were going to but it wasn't. that's why he hasn't processed yet, he already has someone else, I didn't pay attention to that before because maybe he just had a plan but this is the answer. anger took the place of the love I felt here, so I hurriedly took my cell phone to take a picture of them just in case I could use him. To the two of them. It's bad if it's bad but I'm just hurt too. it's a good thing they were so greedy for each other that they didn't even notice my presence, but that's good too. Slowly I took the steps towards the exit door and when I thought I was far away from them I slowly ran out. I don't care if it creates a sound, even if they chase me they won't see me anymore. They are also far from the door so I have a strong feeling that they will not be able to chase me. the gate show is still shedding my tears, it's a good thing the sandal I used is only 2 inches high so it's not hard for me to run. Fortunately, there were no students, staffs, only the guard was there but I didn't pay attention when I heard him greet me. I just wanted to leave, get stuck in that place.
On the first day of school the large gate of Axford University opened early for students required to enter. there are transferees and most are former school students. But all attention was taken away when a young woman got out of an expensive car. "Angel" "Pre am I in heaven yet?" "Shit. She's beautiful!" "The smoothness is damn." "Pres. The student and the transferees are complete, the gate has been closed and they have all been gathered in the auditorium." polite promise of his right hand. He nodded and stood up.

"Then who owns you?" he asked, I could feel and smell his hot and fragrant breath. "I-i-it is yo-you sir," my lips parted as he suddenly came closer to me, bringing our bodies closer together, it's too late for me to close my mouth when I feel his lips on mine. when our lips parted, we both gasped, "then stop making me jealous, because you don't want to know what this friend can do to you."

Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms once at peace. The kingdom of Salem and the kingdom of Mombana... Until the day, the king of Mombana passed away and a new monarch took over, Prince Cone. Prince Cone, has always been hungry for more power and more and more. After his coronation, he attacked Salem. The attack was so unexpected, Salem never prepared for it. They were caught off guard. The king and Queen was killed, the prince was taken into slavery. The people of Salem that survived the war was enslaved, their land taken from them. Their women were made sex slaves. They lost everything, including their land. Evil befall the land of Salem in form of Prince Cone, and the prince of Salem in his slavery was filled with so much rage. The prince of Salem, Prince Lucien swore revenge. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Ten years later, thirty-years old Lucien and his people raided a coup and escaped slavery. They went into hiding and recuperated. They trained day and night under the leadership of the fearless and cold Lucien who was driven with everything in him to get back their land, and take Mombana land too. It took them five years before they ambushed and attacked Mombana. They killed Prince Cone and reclaimed everything. As they screamed out their victory, Lucien's eyes found and pinned the proud princess of Mombana. Princess Danika. The daughter of Prince Cone. As Lucien stared at her with the coldest eyes anyone can ever possess, he felt victory for the first time. He walked to the princess with the slave collar he'd won for ten years rattling in his hand as he walked. He reached close to her and with a swift movement, he collared her neck. Then, he tilted her chin up, staring into the bluest eyes and the most beautiful face ever created, he gave her a cold smile. "You are my acquisition. My slave. My sex slave. My property. I will pay you in spades, everything you and your father ever did to me and my people." He stated curtly. Pure hatred, coldness and victory was the only emotion on his face. .
"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate? You might think it's luck and thank the moon goddess for such a twist of fate. That's what I believed until the love of my life uttered those dreaded words: 'I want a divorce!' As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
