Princess Zara is 21 years old, and the only daughter of King Alan and queen Lyarra. She was asked to marry their enemy, King Carl of Everton in other to protect her nation Azrael and its people. ****** The princess was now standing in front of me. But she was not what I expected. In fact, to say I was disappointed was an understatement. Like what the fuck. I've heard stories about how beautiful and enchanting she was, but the woman standing in front of me was completely opposite from that description. I could also see the confused look on my council member's face, while Gwen who was also standing among the council members had a smirk. The woman standing in front of me was chubby. What the hell? I thought they said she was slim and slender. She even had a mole on her nose and when she smiled at me, I almost puked. She had a huge gap tooth and looked like a clown. Can someone put her out of my misery? I thought. It's a good thing I didn't go out to welcome her. "Greetings your highest," she said, and I almost died. Her voice was deep like a man's voice. So much for an angelic voice. Who the hell gave that description of her, I wouldn't hesitate to kill them if I find them. My eyes caught with another beautiful ocean blue ones, and I was lost staring that them. I scanned the face of the person, and it was so beautiful, like the most beautiful face, I've ever seen. The face was so small that it could fit into my palm. She was dressed like a boy, but I knew she was a girl. She had a smirk on her face as she looked at me. What, is she also laughing at my misery, I thought and scoff. Why can't she be the princess? I thought, sighing how unfortunate I am. There is no way I was marrying that ugly princess. "Greetings your Majesty," I heard the most angelic voice, I've ever heard said, and I glanced up to see the same beautiful face staring at me. "I'm princess Zara of Azrael," she announced, and everyone gasped.

Married to the arrogant king Chapter 1 Decision

ZARA'S POV

"You'll have to marry king carl," dad said, and I looked at him like he had gone nuts.

" Dad you are are joking right, why would I marry king carl?"

King Carl was our enemy, ad he was very dangerous and ruthless. I've never seen him, but I've heard stories about him.

"Dad, I can't marry carl, not now not ever."

"You don't have a choice, my decision is final. I'm not asking you, I'm giving you an order."

"But dad, I can't believe you're willing to sacrifice me to that monster, how could you? I'm your daughter why are you treating me this way."

"This is not about you Zara, it is about our nation Azrael, and our people. If it means I have to sacrifice one person, for the good of others, I will do it, even if that person is my daughter."

But dad.....

"You're a princess Zara, you should know that you have a duty to your people even if it's hard, That's the price royalties have to pay. we don't live for ourselves but for our people, so I beg you to please understand that right now, your nation and your people need you."

I thought about what he said, I can't believe I'll have to marry that ruthless king. Why, why do I have to be a princess? I wish I was just an ordinary person, maybe that way, I'll get to live my life the way I want.

"I need some time to think about this," I said walking out.

"It needs to be quick Zara, there is no time and king Carl will not spare us if we don't ally," dad yelled after me.

I used to think that my case will be different, that I'll marry for love and not a marriage of convenience. But I guess it was just a dream.

I was just lying to myself, I'm a princess after all, I should have known better.

I walked into my room and closed the door behind me. My heart was broken, but I wouldn't cry. What's the point when my tears would change nothing.

I sat down on my bed thinking. I have to leave my home, my people, my family, and everyone I loved. If I was getting married to someone I loved, I wouldn't mind. But that was not the case.

I guess this is my destiny, and fate has played a cruel game on me.

I sighed, standing up from my bed. If this will be my last day here, I might at least have fun. I can't just sit here, thinking about my ill fate.

Lia, I called walking out of my room. Lia was my personal maid and my best friend and we've been friends ever since we were Little.

"Come, Lia, we are going out,"

"but your highness...

"Don't call me that Lia, we're best friends."

"Okay princess, are you okay?" she asked, I guess she was concerned because she found out about my marriage.

"I'm fine Lia, you don't have to worry about me. Now come let's go have fun, I said dragging her."

"You know, you are strange princess, if it were other girls in your place, they will be crying and worried, but you just want to have fun."

"I'm not other girls Lia, why should I worry and cry, when it would change nothing. Instead of worrying about what I can't change, I rather just go have fun and eat lots of food."

"You're crazy princess," she muttered, and I laughed.

"Let's go grab a horse," I said running, and Lia ran after me.

"Zara, you need to stop running or you'll get into trouble, Zara, she called and kept on chasing.

I rode my horse fast into the woods, loving the feeling of the wind on my face. Earlier I sneaked out of the palace with Lia.

I knew my parents would be worried but I didn't care, I needed to make the most of this day.

"It's dangerous out here, we need to go back," Lia said trying to convince me. but I didn't listen to her.

"I'm going to be married soon and maybe I won't be able to do this again, just stay quiet and come with me."

Seeing that I was not going to listen, she gave up and decided to go with me, after all, once my mind was set on something there is no way to convince me otherwise.

We rode to a stream and I quickly jumped down from my horse, running towards it.

"You're such a tomboy, Lia yelled, and I chuckled. It's was said that women are not supposed to use a sword or any other weapon.

But I would always hide and practices, I would even go hunting and the king would be so angry. He got tired of me and let me continue since it was in secret.

I took off my clothes diving into the water, Loving the way the water felt against my skin.

"How can you swim naked? You're a princess what if someone sees you? you're just so crazy, and I've never met anyone as crazy as you princess."

"Come on Lia, don't be a spoilt sport. just come into the water, I yelled.

Lia looked around to make sure no one was there before taking off her clothes and jumping into the water. We swimmed for a long time, and it was dark when we got back to the palace.

We sneaked in through the back like thieves and both ran to my chambers.

Immediately we walked in, we saw the queen and flinched. What is she doing here? I thought.

mother never comes to my chambers she always sends for me. is it something urgent? I thought.

"Where have you been?" Mother asked in a stern voice.

I racked her brain for what to say. I can't tell her I sneaked out to have fun. I turned to Lia for help but it looked like she was also out of excuse.

"I know you sneaked out again. How could you be so careless? What if something happens to you, what if you got captured by the enemy? And you, she said pointing at Lia. you suppose to stop the princess from sneaking out how could you encourage her behavior."

I could see the queen was furious and I immediately stepped in to defend Lia.

"It's not her fault, it's mine. I was the one who forced her, even though she was against it, she didn't have a choice.

The queen sighed, knowing who I was, she knew no one could talk me out of it.

"You're so reckless she muttered pulling my ears playfully, she just couldn't stay angry at me.

NEXT DAY

The king summoned me and my heart was raising.

"Zara, have you thought about it, did you make your decision?" he asked, immediately I entered his chambers.

"I've made my decision dad, I will marry king carl."

He looked at me, giving me a sad smile.

" I'm sorry Zara, I have to choose the people over you."

"It's fine dad, you are a king and you need to make hard decisions sometimes, You don't have to feel guilty, I understand."

"Thank you, he muttered, patting my hair."

"You should get ready Zara, you have to leave the day after tomorrow."

Temple Madison

I was sitting in the Presidential Suite of The Pierre, wearing a Vera Wang gown worth more than most people earn in a decade. It was supposed to be the wedding of the century, the final move to merge two of Manhattan's most powerful empires. Then my phone buzzed. It was an Instagram Story from my fiancé, Jameson. He was at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris with a caption that read: "Fuck the chains. Chasing freedom." He hadn't just gotten cold feet; he had abandoned me at the altar to run across the world. My father didn't come in to comfort me. He burst through the door roaring about a lost acquisition deal, telling me the Holland Group would strip our family for parts if the ceremony didn't happen by noon. My stepmother wailed about us becoming the laughingstock of the Upper East Side. The Holland PR director even suggested I fake a "panic attack" to make myself look weak and sympathetic to save their stock price. Then Jameson’s sleazy cousin, Pierce, walked in with a lopsided grin, offering to "step in" and marry me just to get his hands on my assets. I looked at them and realized I wasn't a daughter or a bride to anyone in that room. I was a failed asset, a bouncing check, a girl whose own father told her to go to Paris and "beg" the man who had just publicly humiliated her. The girl who wanted to be loved died in that mirror. I realized that if I was going to be sold to save a merger, I was going to sell myself to the one who actually controlled the money. I marched past my parents and walked straight into the VIP holding room. I looked the most powerful man in the room—Jameson’s cold, ruthless uncle, Fletcher Holland—dead in the eye and threw the iPad on the table. "Jameson is gone," I said, my voice as hard as stone. "Marry me instead."

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I’ve returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders—the man I was told was a crippled recluse—intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I’d cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent—the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower’s security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy—Archibald’s secret son—wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald’s face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

Trigger/Content Warning: This story contains mature themes and explicit content intended for adult audiences(18+). Reader discretion is advised. It includes elements such as BDSM dynamics, explicit sexual content, toxic family relationships, occasional violence and strong language. This is not a fluffy romance. It is intense, raw and messy, and explores the darker side of desire. ***** "Take off your dress, Meadow." "Why?" "Because your ex is watching," he said, leaning back into his seat. "And I want him to see what he lost." ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger's offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition-he can't feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience... revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn't share what's his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
