Say You Hate Me
900 Views · Ongoing · Aflyingwhale
When Hazel Ellington was twelve, her father brought home a orphan from England named Caden Durham, and her lonely world cracked open. They grew up tangled together — best friends, sworn enemies, and something neither of them dared to name. Then, the night she turned eighteen, Hazel finally gave Caden all of her. By morning, he was gone. No letter. No goodbye. Just an ocean of silence and a father who forbade his name.
Six years later, her father is dead — and Caden is standing in her house again, taller, colder, inked with secrets, and impossible to read.
But grief is the least of Hazel's problems. James Ellington was no ordinary man; his empire has roots in the city's underworld, and his will leaves everything to his "male heir" — a loophole that pits Hazel against the one man she swore never to forgive. They have one hundred days to decide who takes the throne. Rival families circle, hungry for Ellington blood, and someone wants Hazel dead before the clock runs out.
Some loves are a war you're born into. Some are a cage you were never meant to escape.
Follow this dark romance of forbidden bonds, stolen crowns, and real love that transcends it all.
