loveless

A withering flower at devil's mercy

“These bedchambers have missed your scent.” His voice, low and rough, made her pulse quicken. Her fear surged, boundless, as he closed the stained glass doors behind him. “Please…don't do this,” she pleaded, trembling as he pulled her close, his touch burning against her skin. “You fled this place while carrying my child. Why did you come back?” he murmured, his lips trailing down her neck as they had so many times before. "But you chased me all the way back!" her lips met his crushing her mouth with a forceful kiss burning her up. She groaned trying to free herself but it was a futile attempt. Dragging her to bed as she tried another futile attempt to escape he stripped her with rough yet controlled hands. "You could've casted me out of there. Gotten married to your ex. You had a better choice given," he kissed her collarbone. " But here you are laying beneath me as it was that night. When you were just a clueless innocent virgin." he grinned sarcastically. “I… don’t know,” she managed, her voice barely a whisper still trying to move away from his touch. "It useless to defy me. Now this is the only place left for you." And he reclaimed her with burning passion rendering her attempts to refuse him and escape him futile. ----->>>>> Luciana Mircea de Amanécer, princess of the Holy Empire that ruled the skies, had once lived in a world of beauty and privilege—a devoted father, joyful sisters, wealth, and a loving fiancé. Yet that life shattered with a single conversation. One day, her father appeared in her chambers, eyes solemn, bearing news that upended her world. “You will be married,” he said, but the name wasn’t that of the man she cherished. Instead, she was to be wed to the ruthless crown prince of the rival Demon Empire, an alliance forged to quell the simmering tensions between their kingdoms. “Father, please…” she begged. “My child,” he murmured, his voice heavy with regret. “It is your duty as the firstborn princess. This marriage will protect the realm… and your little sisters.” For the first time in her life, Luciana saw him bow to her, his plea wordless but clear. Yielding to her father’s desperate request, she accepted her fate. In a single day, she went from princess to wife, her dreams abandoned and her future reshaped. But worse yet the man who she was supposed to be wedded was replaced by a more ruthless hound. A more agonizing revelation that he was a slave with empty title in name. The white wedding gown was soon stained crimson, marking her descent into a life she could never have anticipated. Could she learn to accept a man for whom compassion was an unfamiliar luxury, or would the love she had left behind rise to rescue her?

Married To Void

[Content Notice: This story contains mature themes] "You said you had no interest in women—you never told me you loved men!" Rosamund’s voice cracked, tears streaking her cheeks as she backed away, the weight of betrayal crushing her breath. Harold’s gaze didn’t waver. "How much clearer did you need me to be?" He stepped closer, his hand brushing her face with a tenderness that now felt like a lie. "I told you I had no desire for women. That I only agreed to this marriage for an heir. Society demanded, that I must have a companion and an heir. I never promised you love." His hand fell, but his hazel eyes pinned her in place. "That secret was mine to bury. You walked into this marriage with your eyes open." --- Rosamund, the overlooked third daughter of the Earl of Warwick, thought she’d escaped her fate when the Duke of Somerset rescued her from ruin. After blinding the Marquess’s son, William, in defence for a maid, she became entangled in a scandal that left her parents with no choice but to accept his marriage proposal. But on the brink of being assaulted by her own betrothed, salvation came in the form of Harold—cold, calculating, and disarmingly honest. Their marriage was never meant to be a love story. Harold made his terms clear: a political alliance, an heir, and nothing more. Yet Rosamund, desperate for solace in her gilded cage, dared to hope for warmth. Until the truth shattered her—Harold’s heart belonged to another, and she was trapped in a marriage of devastating loneliness. Now, Rosamund must confront the bitter reality: will Harold ever let her past his walls, or is she doomed to a life of hollow duty, forever bound to a man who cannot love her, remain married to void?
