The man in the suit was tightly bound with a tawny hemp rope.
He was on his knees, with a brilliant-hued rose held in his mouth.
I intertwined the ropes across his back, merging his wrists and arms into an intricate pattern of rope.
The man uttered a muffled groan, and two rose petals of sanguine hue dropped onto the floor.
I smiled slightly but did not stop.
His face appeared even paler, yet with a blood-red rose in his mouth, the contrast was strikingly vivid.
His muscles began to tremble slightly, and a coarse voice continuously emanated from his mouth.
I leisurely sat in front of him, my high heels clicking, and admired his appearance from above.
The man before me was strikingly handsome.
His beautiful eyes were half-closed, the elongated corners tinged with tears, exuding a pale yet brooding aura.
The red rose that was being lightly bitten in his mouth further accentuated his beauty of a combination of red and white.
This was the first male friend I met online, very young, only twenty-two.
We got acquainted via an online application. Since I learned about this thrilling and forbidden delight from this younger man, it was as if a new world had been unveiled to me. Every few days, when I was in a restless mood, during my menstruation, or when I was in a bad mood or unhappy, I would torment him severely.
He would do everything he could to make me happy; it was a mutual agreement.
Everything seemed to change three months ago, when I found out that my boyfriend had cheated on me.
My boyfriend, Richard Burton, was the one with whom I had been in a relationship for three years.
We were already discussing marriage, but because I refused to sleep with him, he turned to another woman. He even added insult to injury by calling me a hypocrite!
My parents are honest people, lifelong farmers. From my childhood, they had educated me that "Women should protect themselves well" and that premarital sexual activity was not permitted. As a result, I had a very strong sense of morality and had never slept with any man.
However, what was the use of being so conservative?
I was still a virgin at 27, and my boyfriend also cheated on me.
With an inner void, my friend downloaded the app for me and then I incidentally got to know this young and charming younger man before me.
Initially, it was just for fun and to vent.
But strangely, after a few encounters, I was not averse to him in the slightest. I even felt quite relished being coaxed by him and even had the intention of entrusting my first time to him.
Although it was my first time playing such a shameful game, I had fantasized about it countless times.
I subjected him to all kinds of humiliation and demanded from him at will.
Under my 'torment', he trembled with excitement.
In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, in the bathtub, before the full-length mirror, we played our consensual games.
Indeed, there was a thrill in conquering a proud spirit.
Perhaps my smile carried a tinge of provocation, or perhaps it was overly brilliant.
In an instant, the man was captivated by my smile, as if driven mad by my provocation.
He appeared as if maddened by my provocation, gazing at my me, possessing an unyielding and fierce spirit, and then he lunged at me!
The game spiraled out of control!
I was so frightened I took a step back, trying to escape...
But I failed...
Afterwards, as I lay in a daze, still not fully recovered, the young man whispered teasingly in my ear, "Was it really your first time, Dolores? Do you like it when I'm bold? I can make you even happier... Is it that my figure is not attractive enough that you don't show any interest in my good looks any more..."
The man deliberately elongated the ending syllable and indolently raised his eyes, smiling at me.
I suddenly snapped awake!
Glancing at the young man who was lying on the bed, I was thoroughly perplexed.
Janice, the long-forgotten legitimate heiress, made her way back to her family, pouring her heart into winning their hearts. Yet, she had to relinquish her very identity, her academic credentials, and her creative works to her foster sister. In return for her sacrifices, she found no warmth, only deeper neglect. Resolute, Janice vowed to cut off all emotional bonds. Transformed, she now stood as a master of martial arts, adept in eight languages, an esteemed medical expert, and a celebrated designer. With newfound resolve, she declared, "From this day forward, no one in this family shall cross me."
For ten years, Daniela showered her ex-husband with unwavering devotion, only to discover she was just his biggest joke. Feeling humiliated yet determined, she finally divorced him. Three months later, Daniela returned in grand style. She was now the hidden CEO of a leading brand, a sought-after designer, and a wealthy mining mogul—her success unveiled at her triumphant comeback. Her ex-husband’s entire family rushed over, desperate to beg for forgiveness and plead for another chance. Yet Daniela, now cherished by the famed Mr. Phillips, regarded them with icy disdain. "I’m out of your league."
Noelle was the long-lost daughter everyone had been searched for, yet the family brushed her off and fawned over her stand-in. Tired of scorn, she walked away and married a man whose influence could shake the country. Dance phenom, street-race champ, virtuoso composer, master restorer-each secret triumph hit the headlines, and her family's smug smiles cracked. Father charged back from abroad, mother wept for a hug, and five brothers knelt in the rain begging. Beneath the jeweled night sky, her husband pulled her close, his voice a velvet promise. "They're not worth it. Come on, let's just go home."
Maia grew up a pampered heiress-until the real daughter returned and framed her, sending Maia to prison with help from her fiancé and family. Four years later, free and married to Chris, a notorious outcast, everyone assumed Maia was finished. They soon discovered she was secretly a famed jeweler, elite hacker, celebrity chef, and top game designer. As her former family begged for help, Chris smiled calmly. "Honey, let's go home." Only then did Maia realize her "useless" husband was a legendary tycoon who'd adored her from the start.
At their wedding night, Kayla caught her brand-new husband cheating. Reeling and half-drunk, she staggered into the wrong suite and collapsed into a stranger's arms. Sunrise brought a pounding head-and the discovery she was pregnant. The father? A supremely powerful tycoon who happened to be her husband's ruthless uncle. Panicked, she tried to run, but he barred the door with a faint, dangerous smile. When the cheating ex begged, Kayla lifted her chin and declared, "Want a second chance at us? Ask your uncle." The tycoon pulled her close. "She's my wife now." The ex gasped, "What!?"
Livia Shelby, 19, is forced into marriage with Damian Alexander - a ruthless CEO with a cold heart. Hate simmers beneath the surface, and sometimes it blurs the line between resentment and desire. But what happens when the love that grows between them is bound by a contract... and forbidden to be spoken? Author's Note: This book has been previously published on several platforms.
