THE LEGEND OF THE GOLDEN LOTUS

AWAKENING IN SECRETS

She was so exhausted from running that she couldn't help but stop at the cliff's edge to catch her breath. The only place she could think of to flee after being pursued for three days with nowhere to go was here. In her hour of need, she had summoned that man, the man she had been engaged to since she was a child, the man she had given her heart to, to come and rescue her from this nightmare. She would not have dared to tell him about her whereabouts if she had known she had been duped by this man and his so-called family. Because of her stupid mistake, she watched nervously and fearfully as he approached her with a snarl on his face. She never imagined a day like this would come. She had nowhere else to run, she had exhausted all options, and the only thing that awaited her was death. "You should be aware that your presence is a hindrance to everything for which I have tirelessly worked. So, dear, I am deeply sorry that this is the end," the man said coldly as he pulled the trigger. The only sound was that of the gunshot that pierced right through the girl's chest. The shot had such an impact that the young girl staggered and fell right off the cliff. Her face was plastered with a smile, blood trickled down her lips, and her chest was oozing with blood. This was the end, and she was aware of it. She should have suspected it from the start because, despite the fact that she was spoiled, they never spent time with her. She endured every time they drew blood from her because she wanted to make her family happy. Even when she couldn't recall her childhood, she never asked for anything but hoped for a better future. If she had suspected and demanded answers, this would have been a painless death. This death proved the one thing she had been refusing to admit since the day she discovered the dark secret her family had been keeping for more than a decade. She was simply their child's clone, and it hurt like hell.

HER ROYAL HIGHNESS

How will Talia settle with her new life? Will she be able to easily accept all of this or run away with her tail between her legs

HIS LITTLE BRIDE

She couldn’t believe what she was hearing at the moment. Was this some kind of joke or what? One thing was for certain though, this man never joked. She had known him for a month and she had never seen him making a joke or smile for that matter. The other staff had given him a nickname, he was known as Mr. Cold because of the coldness he emits wherever he was. She knew that he was a good man; it was just the circumstances that turned him this way which was also one of the reasons why she developed a huge crush on the man even when she fully knew that he will never see her that way. So after all that assessment, why was he saying these words to her? “Are you joking sir?” she asked him as she staggered since she was standing on her two feet. “I am not a person who just jokes. I thought you said that you will help me when I need help. Are you turning back on your word right now?” this man was a professional, how could he make her the assailant in just a second when he was the one throwing a bomb on her. “I did say that but I never thought it will end up this way,” she said as she sat down on the opposite chair. “You promised so you have to this for me or do you want to see those wolves eating me up?” he asked her with raised eyebrows and she understood what he was saying. To be honest she didn’t want that at all. She would rather sacrifice herself and help him. This wasn’t a bad deal after all; she will have her own win too. “So, I simply just have to marry you?” she asked him once more. “Yes child, you marry me and become my lawfully wedded wife. I will take care of you and your family. You can still go to school like you were; all I need is for you to be by my side. I am not asking for much am I?” He really was asking her for too much. He didn’t even love her and yet he wanted her to marry him. She was in love with him and would be happy to do that but there were issues she just couldn’t decipher on her own and needed a bit of clarification. “Aren’t you worried about my age at all?” she asked him. “You are already an adult dear and not a minor so I am not worried at all. Just think about it and give me an answer. I will accept whatever decision you make,” he said. She looked at him and saw desperation in his eyes. A man like this wouldn’t come to her unless it was urgent. So she decided to make the biggest decision of her life that instant. “I will do it, I will marry you,” she told him and she saw a smile on his face. That was the first time she was seeing one on his face. He could emit such light with just a smile; she fell for him even more. She didn’t know what was going to come in the future but she was going to face it head on. She also deserves her own happiness even when it meant to be a bit selfish.

PAMPERED DEVIOUS CONSORT

A mansion that appeared to be over three centuries old was built in a secluded valley. This was the mansion of a family that had lived in seclusion for centuries, not interfering with any outside affairs. There was a room in this mansion that was exquisitely decorated. This room belonged to the family's only daughter, the daughter who came after four generations, so she was spoiled and loved. She was everyone's apple, but the apple was currently comatose, as she had been for the past eighteen years. She was discovered in a deadly state eighteen years ago, her body covered in blood as if she had been attacked. Even after her life was no longer in danger, the girl never awoke, but no one gave up hope because they believed she would. Her life crystal was still shining brightly, indicating that she still had life in her. She was probably fighting a psychological battle, and when she was done, she would wake up. Every day, the woman will be wiped clean as if she were sleeping. Her mother was currently reading a book to her, something she does on a daily basis, when the woman screamed as she opened her eyes. For a split second, the mother forgot her daughter had been in a coma for so long, and when she regained consciousness, her husband and sons were already in the room. Everyone turned to look at the woman, who was frantically looking around for something. “Baby, what are you looking for?” her mother inquired. “What happened to you after you were in a coma for eighteen years?” The questions came one after the other, and the idea of calling a doctor was quickly forgotten, but when they received the answer, they all froze. “WHERE IS MY BABY GIRL?”

THE WHITE WITCH

Fighting was no longer an option; she just lay there, tears streaming down her cheeks, as the vicious men continued to vandalize her. They were strewn all over her body. Her body had become too numb for her to do anything. Everything started one beautiful evening when she was sent outside to run an errand. And, as she always did, she took the shortest route she knew well. She was walking when she noticed a young man she recognized; he was her older brother's friend, so she remained calm. She came to a halt to speak with him, only to black out in a matter of seconds. When she opened her eyes, she was naked in a deserted area, in a place she was unfamiliar with, with a huge man in between her legs. It was excruciatingly painful, so she cried and screamed, but the more she did this, the worse it became. While that man raped her incessantly, she noticed her brother's friend staring at her. She couldn't read his emotions, but she was filled with hatred for him. She put her trust in him, and this is how he repays her! To keep her from screaming, they stuffed a cloth in her mouth. She could see the desire and lust in their eyes. Their eyes said it all, and it was clear that they were not going to show her mercy. These jerks showed up prepared, and they didn't care that she hadn't fully bloomed. As they forced themselves on her one by one, she cried, tears streaming down her cheeks. What hurt the most was seeing that traitor, whom she had looked up to as a brother, ravaging her as if she were a stranger. She fainted in the middle of being vandalized, and after a while, she heard sirens. People were talking around her, but she couldn't open her eyes because she was too exhausted to do anything. The ambulance appeared to have arrived because she felt those needles enter her body and it didn't hurt. She couldn't help but cry when she heard her mother cry, and the last thing she heard before she passed out was, “I'm very sorry Ma'am, but due to the damage that was caused to your daughter, the only option is to operate on her and remove her womb.” “Why would you do something like that?” “It is severely damaged, and I am afraid that if we do not remove it, she will be in danger again, and it will be too late by then.” Hearing her mother cry, she despised everyone at the time. She was going to exact her revenge with her own hands, and the thirteen-year-old girl blacked out with that last thought.
