Dragon And The Dark Rose

PrettyAngie
As an adopted child, Dessa was smart and careful because she had to be. In the eyes of her adopted parents and their kingdom, she was sweet, obedient and stupid. Used as a scapegoat by her family, she was offered as the political bridge between two empires, helping her achieve her hidden goals. Meet Zamien Ylvai. A demon feared and respected but mostly hated, by all. Earning him the title, Devil's Kin. Cold and unapproachable, narcissist and overly possessive of his belongings. __ "What are you doing?" The question came in a cold tone and had Dessa startled. She turned back to find the prince, her husband staring had at her. "What are you doing?" He asked again, noticing her trembling fingers "Your highness", she paused to make up a lie "I was taking a walk". "In the dungeon. Late at night". He stated without a smile. Noticing the growing tension, Dessa laughed awkwardly while looking at the totally unamused prince. "This is the dungeon you say?, I also felt it looked strange," She turned around proceeding to slip away "Your highness, I'll leave now." Smiling at herself for being so smart, she started walking only to be pulled back, hitting her head on what could be well described as a solid wall. Raising his hand up, Zamien raised her chin until she was looking at him eye to eye. "Do you know what happens to people who lie to me?" She blinked, obviously scared. Bending his head to rest on the crook of her neck, he whispered. "They get punished."

The Duke’s Bargain

“What did you say?” Félix asked. She repeated, “Name your price.” “What is that supposed to mean?” His voice had tapered off with an unreadable emotion that got her weak in her knees, but she held out her chin. “Didn't you once offer to pay me off? Now, make me an offer I cannot refuse. Otherwise, I will go in there"—she gestured toward the Ball—"and make everyone think you dragged me out here to take advantage of me. I know exactly what that would do to your reputation.” “Say. That. Again,” Félix said through gritted teeth as he inched closer to her. ====================== She hadn’t meant to upset him or, worse, blackmail him. She didn’t even know who he was; she only knew he looked important because of how regally he stood in the moonlit dark. Estella was the baron of Cleverdale’s youngest, born into a hard life and always kept on her toes. Her stepsisters hated her. The baroness loathed her. And her father, the only one she called family, shattered her heart when he sold her to Viscount Alistair Ravensdale to cover up his misdeeds. The night of Lady Agatha’s ball, she seized her chance and ran straight into … Duke Félix of Chateaûbriant. In the dark, he mistook her for Princess Coralie, his fiancée, and kissed her. When the moon revealed her face, something about her stuck with him. He couldn’t shake the image of her running wildly or how she smelled like white lotus with hardcore roots. But when she threatened his reputation, he refused to play along. She returned to her world of cruel sisters and an unwanted engagement. What she hadn’t prepared for was the Duke arriving at her doorstep, making two outrageous claims. One. He was the Duke of Chateaûbriant. And two. She had stolen something valuable from him that night. What had she stolen without knowing it? Or worse, what could he possibly demand as repayment? ✯Like it? Add to Library!
