Married to the Enemy's Daughter

Presumed dead at twenty-one, Ismail Orlov vanished after a brutal betrayal that cost him his father and erased his name from the world. Years earlier, while working the lands of the powerful Aksoy family, Ismail and his father unearthed a chest filled with ancient gold coins—an impossible fortune to ignore, one that awakened the greed of Kemal Aksoy, a feared underworld boss concealed behind the façade of a respected farmer and businessman. When they tried to flee, Ismail’s fate was sealed between blood and water: his father was murdered, the treasure reclaimed, and Ismail cast into the sea—rescued by Russian fishermen and officially declared missing. For fifteen years, Ismail rebuilt himself in exile. He fought in a foreign army, forged unbreakable alliances, and amassed vast wealth through cryptocurrency, expanding his empire into mining, real estate, and private security. Reclusive, strategic, and patient, he waited. Ismail returns on the day of **Ece Aksoy’s** wedding. Once a five-year-old shielded from the truth, she is now twenty—shy, sensitive, and deeply devoted to art, having always avoided learning the true source of her father’s power. At the moment the vows are about to be exchanged, Ismail interrupts destiny, abducts the bride, and forces a marriage born not of love, but of reckoning. Armed with evidence capable of destroying the Aksoy family and ruining Ece’s mother, Ismail turns power into a weapon and vengeance into strategy. Caught between guilt and justice, innocence and violence, *The Missing Man’s Bride* is a dramatic thriller about buried sins, coerced vows, and the possibility of redemption amid the ruins of the past.

Trapped in a Marriage Contract with My Billionaire Cousin I Hate

Natalia said with disgust: "Never. I would prefer death over loving the idea of marrying you." Cedric said in a mysterious and terrifying tone: "Die then." Cedric said cruelly: "Then you won't be able to die; that is what you will get, Natalia..." Then he lowered his voice to a terrifying hiss and continued: "Pain." Cedric looking at her sharply: "But we will play the role of the couple." Natalia answered, her eyes shining with defiance: "Even if it's acting, Cedric, you will not touch me." Cedric said in a voice as low as a hiss: "I will touch you if the matter requires it, do you understand?" _______________ Natalia is thrown into the furnace of a war she did not choose. With a single decision from her father, the ambitions of the eighteen-year-old girl were shattered, transforming into an eternal shackle. It is not merely a marriage, but a deed of ownership to ensure the empire remains within the family boundaries, under the protection of the man whose very existence she loathes Cedric. A wedding without lights... and a wife in the shadows. Because she has not reached the legal age for the elite, and because scandal might shake the family walls, Natalia was sentenced to be a "secret wife." A marriage imprisoned behind the palace walls, forbidden from being circulated in the hallways of velvet society. Natalia finds herself forced to live in her uncle’s house, where she is compelled to share oxygen and space in one room with Cedric; the man who sees in this marriage an insult to his pride and an assassination of his freedom. Behind that closed door, the official masks fall, and the fires of hatred ignite. But the real hell for Natalia lies not only in Cedric’s cruelty, but in the presence of William; Cedric’s brother and the person whose heart beat with love for him since her childhood. Now, Natalia finds herself trapped under one roof with the man she desired as a husband, while she is, in reality, the property of his brother whom she hates. Cedric... the cruel executioner. Cedric will not settle for silent rejection; instead, he will turn Natalia’s days into an organized "hell." Every look is a stab, every word is a spark, and every night they spend in that ill-fated room is a new round of psychological torture, where Natalia burns between the fire of her impossible love for William and the fire of her imposed hatred for Cedric.

Cursed By His Own Vow.

Cursed By His Own Vow She wasn't supposed to be there. He wasn't supposed to notice her. But fate has never cared about what was supposed to happen. Ava Maren has nothing — no money, no connections, no safety net. What she has is a sharp mind, a mouth that says exactly what it thinks before the polite version catches up, and a stubbornness that has gotten her through fourteen jobs in four years without once apologizing for who she is. When she walks into Voss Enterprises seven minutes late with a squeaking heel and zero patience for intimidation she expects the interview to last twenty minutes. She does not expect to get the job. She definitely does not expect him. Kade Voss built an empire before he turned thirty. Cold. Controlled. Devastatingly beautiful in a way he is completely indifferent to. Every magazine wants his photograph. Every board room fears his silence. Every woman who gets close enough to matter pays a price she never agreed to. Because Kade Voss made a vow at seventeen. A vow spoken at the wrong place at the wrong moment to something older and darker than he understood — and it heard him. It bound itself to his blood. For fifteen years it has enforced itself with quiet ruthlessness — careers collapsed, accidents happened, lives derailed. He knows what he is. He keeps his distance. From everyone. Always. Until her. Ava walks into his radius and nothing happens. No cold pressure. No stirring darkness. No curse waking up to remove the threat. For the first time in fifteen years — silence. She is either the one woman in the world his vow cannot touch. Or she is the one woman in the world it has been waiting for. He doesn't trust her. He has fifteen years of excellent reasons. She doesn't want his trust. She wants her paycheck and her pride intact. Neither of them planned for the way she challenges every cold wall he has ever built. Neither of them planned for the way he sees her — completely, without the filter most people apply to someone with nothing — and finds something worth seeing. Neither of them planned for any of this. The curse didn't plan for her either. And that — more than anything — is what makes her dangerous. One man. One vow. One woman who was never supposed to survive either. The question is not whether she will break the curse. The question is what breaks first — the curse or him. Dark romance. Hidden magic. Forbidden tension. A billionaire who has never allowed himself to feel anything — and the ordinary girl who makes feeling inevitable. — Daoistaglcx
