Sold by love

Title: Sold by Love "In some deals, the price isn't paid in cash—it's paid in blood and betrayal." In the heart of Manhattan’s elite East Side, stands "The Gilded Cage." To the world, it is a pinnacle of luxury and fine dining. But beneath its polished floors lies a dark secret: "The Blue Room"—an exclusive underground club where power is absolute, and the most forbidden desires are traded. At eighteen, Julie discovers that even a father’s love has a price. While her father dined in the elegance above, he was signing away her life in the shadows below to settle a gambling debt. Her new owner? The most formidable and enigmatic man in New York’s underworld—Robert Cross. Robert accepts nothing less than perfection, and to him, Julie is the rarest gem to ever grace "The Blue Room." He owns the club, he owns the guards, and now, he owns her. But he didn't count on the warrior spirit flickering behind her defiant eyes. Between the cold marble of his office and the velvet silence of the club's corridors, a brutal war of wills begins. He demands her absolute loyalty; she has nothing but her pride to shield her soul. In a world where emotions are the ultimate deception, Julie must navigate the fine line between hatred and a strange, dark devotion. Is Robert the monster who will shatter her innocence, or the only fortress standing between her and a world that already sold her out? Behind the locked doors of "The Blue Room," the most dangerous deal of all is about to unfold.

Chosen: The Rise of the Silent Queen.

Born mute, shunned by her mother, and hidden away for sixteen years, Princess Josephine is the forgotten child of King Hendrick of Dravenor, the Second Greatest Werewolf King, and Queen Sophia, the Strongest Witch alive. In a family of six, where three children inherit their father’s wolf blood and two their mother’s magic, Josephine stands apart — feared, hated, and cast away. Raised in secret by Nana Cellie, an old woman who showed her the love her own mother never gave, Josephine grew up silent but observant, pure of heart yet marked by sorrow. She never smiled, though her golden hair and ethereal beauty made her unforgettable. When King Hendrick finally recalls her to the royal palace, Josephine enters a world of werewolves, witches, vampires, elves, and fairies at the kingdom’s grand academy — a world where she is mocked, mistreated, and broken down by the very queen who gave her life. But what no one knows is that Josephine carries a power far greater than any creature alive. She is the reborn soul of Queen Hetragon, the legendary Hybrid Queen of Zephyria — a being so powerful she once brought kingdoms to ruin when her lover was killed. Now, history threatens to repeat itself, for her lover’s soul has been reborn as Oliver, Josephine’s own brother. When a cruel public humiliation awakens the dormant power inside her, Josephine unleashes destruction that shakes the kingdoms to their core. The return of Zephyria’s queen cannot be ignored — not by her father, not by her enemies, and not by the cold-hearted King Xavi and his twin sister Xoni, who watch her rise with dangerous interest. But will Josephine embrace her destiny as the most powerful hybrid to ever walk the realms? Will she rule the lost kingdom of Zephyria and claim her birthright as the Silent Queen? Or will her cursed bloodline destroy her before she can ever take the crown?

I explained to her what happened and asked if she has a job to offer and she suggested about working as a maid to gain information about Lucas"The Mafia Lord" regarding the kidnapping cases as well as the missing girls in her school. Although it was a crazy idea I offered my service,at least anything to get me away from home. Lilah made lied to my parents about me spending the summer at her place while they were going to spend their summer at Kuwait as well as expand our mining business. A week later I out set for Placid mansion where hundreds of girls line up to get this job and few were picked by his secretary which I was among the lucky few ,well I wouldn't say that if I knew the mess I was getting myself into.
