____________________________________ I was making tea when I heard the sound of back door being open I was about to move closer in order to shut it but suddenly a man entered my kitchen and without waisting anytime he move towards me and he hit my head with something so hard that I was trying to keep my self from falling into darkness when I feel his lips on my neck and before I totally pass out I heard him say " you were claimed the day you were born". ____________________________________ " do not copy ". -----------------------------------------------------------

Sold to an empire. Claimed by a man who doesn’t want her. Lara enters the palace as a forgotten bride—unwanted, untouched, and surrounded by vipers in silk. But beneath her lace lies fire, and behind the Emperor’s indifference hides something far more dangerous than desire. In a court of secrets, chaos, and cold sheets… love might be the cruelest betrayal of all.
