CHAPTER 1
Golden High School. 10:00 am.
A young girl was standing under an oak tree when she dropped the last of her cigarette butts. The girl was Alicia, Alicia Perth. Alicia's sea-like blue eyes looked down at her feet, which were wrapped in black ankle boots. The boots had stepped on the remains of a cigarette, causing it to crumble and mingle with the asphalt on the street.
Alicia's hand held an invitation envelope with a rose gold logo on the front, while her other hand, wrapped in a colorful suede bracelet, squeezed her ashes backpack on her shoulder. The few people around her were now watching. Alicia caught the eye because of her beautiful face. Alicia had a uniquely American face, her eyeballs were large and beautiful, and her nose was sharp as if carved by a professional artist. So Alicia's appearance that day, successfully made a lot of boys around pull out their smiles.
That tall girl ignored people's eyes, she honestly didn't care what others thought of her. Even if it was a good thing. Alicia walked through the transparent glass doors with iron handles made of the finest iron in New York City. It was the only entrance to the building she was heading for. Looking back at her, Alicia attracted the attention of the people inside the building. But once again, Alicia ignored everyone and chose to keep walking.
Golden High School was an international boarding-based school. People from all over the world can come and study here as long as they have a lot of money. You'd be able to find a politician's kid, a billionaire's kid and even a rich businessman's kid if you managed to get into Golden High School. It's known as one of the most elite schools in America, but that's not why Alicia chose Golden High School.
Alicia had another purpose. She wanted to escape her past. She doesn't want back.
The glass main door was directly connected to the hallways of the student dormitories at Golden High School. These hallways were organized on an alphabetical basis to make things easier. But the more you pay, the more you'll get a room with the best facilities.
All the facilities at Golden High School fall into the international school category. There are rooms with comfortable spring beds and sheets, one pillow and bolster, air conditioners, and even indoor bathrooms. But the school also provided public bathrooms for parents or guests who were visiting Golden High School. And Alicia knew about this facility when she was about to move into her new school.
During her walk down the hallway of the Golden High School dormitory, Alicia saw only a few people passing by. The atmosphere was very quiet. Alicia passed through a high wall that led directly to the doors of the students' rooms. Most of the doors were made of the finest wood and all the fronts were labeled with numbers that were quite unfamiliar to Alicia.
Alicia stopped in her tracks. She looked around and muttered, "Where did everyone go? Are they always on time like this?"
To be honest, it wasn't the people who arrived on time, but Alicia who was late. She missed the time written on the invitation card and was already more than fifteen minutes late. Alicia had missed the opening ceremony of Golden High School's winter rules reading ceremony.
But Alicia didn't care and kept walking. Some people were watching, others were busy with their own activities.
Her blue eyes then moved to the main hall sign in front of a large door. She stopped and glanced at the envelope in her hand to make sure. Alicia had finally arrived at her destination. Golden High School's main hall.
"Alicia, welcome to the new place, may luck be on my side this time," Alicia mumbled.
After feeling that she had found the room that matched to invitation letter, Alicia immediately pushed open the door in front of her.
A large Greek-style room greeted Alicia's senses. World-class paintings by Pablo Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent Van Gogh were neatly arranged on the walls. Roman-style architectural columns held up the ceiling. Several chandeliers dropped beautiful, luxurious light. Alicia's blue eyes traveled around quickly, sweeping over the classic sights that Alicia had never seen before.
Alicia was amazed. "This school has good taste too."
The main hall. The room provided about five hundred chitose folding chairs for the day's official event. With special lounge chairs for the Golden High officials in the front row. The event held that day was intended to inform the dormitory students of their new rules. All students would not be as free as before.
Alicia stood in the middle of the doorway and saw that all the seats were occupied. She looked around in confusion as she saw people busy with the scene in front of them.
It seemed that people wanted to impress by arriving on time. Alicia frowned, looking for a place until she finally found an empty seat in the corner of the room. Alicia let out a short breath and hurriedly sat down in the only chair left. A few people who passed by had seen Alicia, feeling interested. But Alicia ignored them all and kept her backpack on her lap.
Alicia looked at the people around her, women and men sitting in separate places but close to each other. All the seats faced forward, staring at the large podium that was now the center of attention.
A hand tapped Alicia on the shoulder. It was Brittany, the girl sitting next to Alicia.
"Hello," Brittany greeted.
Alicia turned her head, and found the blonde-haired girl smiling kindly next to her. "I'm Brittany," she said politely, then extended her hand, want to knowing more about Alicia. "What's your name anyway?"
"Alicia," Alicia said simply.
Brittany leaned closer to Alicia and glanced at her ashes backpack. "Do you have marijuana in your bag?"
Alicia's brow furrowed. "What? What... did you say?"
For ten years, Beatrice had known Louis, but that day, he seemed like a stranger. This wasn't Louis. Louis would never strip naked and sleep with her best friend, Kylie. Damn it, her tears almost fell for such cruel people. "I want a divorce." Beatrice didn't mean it when she said it. She still hoped Louis would beg, at least ask her to stay and forgive him. But Louis had changed. "I agree. Let's divorce. I don't want to be with a useless woman like you."
"You're cold and untouchable. Strangely enough, I've fallen for you, Isabella." Isabella froze, speechless, unable to respond to Zach's words. His dark eyes were intense yet uncertain. But Zach pressed on, "You said your middle name is danger. And you know what? I'm ready to love danger."
Stella has friends who are loyal to her, but as time goes by, Stella doesn't realize that some of the guys are in love with her. June, Samuel and Harry, they are stuck in a real friendzone.

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.
