One minute, Clara was walking home. The next, she was gone. Kidnapped off the street by three strangers-Ezra, Silas, and Lucian-she wakes up in a mansion too perfect to be real. Every room is tailored to her. Every meal, every hobby, every word-they knew everything. And now they expect her to play along in their twisted version of a family. They wanted her. To them, Clara is the missing piece. The daughter they've been waiting for. The one they've been preparing for. Every room is made for her. Every rule is meant to shape her. And every smile hides something sick. Ezra. Calm, calculating, always three steps ahead. No matter how careful Clara is, he sees through her. Every lie. Every escape attempt. Every flicker of rebellion. Silas is distant and cold, but dangerous in his silence. Silas keeps his distance-but when he looks at her, it's like he sees straight through. And Lucian... Lucian's the gentle one.The one who brings her hot chocolate with extra marshmallows and brushes her hair. The one who says this is all for her own good. Lucian is soft-spoken and kind... almost like he wants her to believe this could be real. But it isn't. They don't want her freedom. They want her obedience. Her love. Her role. They call it family. She calls it a nightmare. But if Clara wants to survive, she might have to play along. Even if it means pretending to love her captors. _________________________________________ Author's Note: This is a story I've been wanting to post and now I've finally done it.

Disclaimer: *Trapped in a Dating Sim* was originally written by Yomu Mishima. I do not own this work and am only sharing an English translation. No profit is being made from this translation. A villainess-style story where a guy takes centre stage?! Reincarnated into another world, Leon finds himself living as the third son of a dirt-poor barony. The kicker? It's that same otome game world he was forced to play in his past life. It's a fantasy realm where islands float in the sky, and airships crisscross the horizon. Under normal circumstances, it'd be a dream come true, but Leon isn't exactly thrilled. Why? Because he knows this is that damn otome game world-the one with the nonsensical, half-baked setting. To make matters worse, Leon has been reborn as a "mob"-a background character who didn't even have a name in the original game. In this society, the "Academy" is a place where it's perfectly normal for the girls to keep demi-human slaves as their personal attendants. The guys, on the other hand? They aren't even allowed to own them. In the cutthroat world of marriage hunting, men are treated like bottom-tier garbage who have to grovel just to get a date. But of course, the high-and-mighty heartthrobs-the game's official "love interests"-are a completely different story...

Nyx Sinclair was kicked out by her parents for something she never did. She has no choice but to move to her grandmother's old house, which she inherited in the middle of the woods. It might sound creepy to live alone, but... Is she really alone?... If things start to feel wrong, should she run? Or figure out what's happening?

She turned sharply, heart leaping into panic, and there he was. A stranger. A man inside her chamber. Her lips parted, the scream already rising, but before a sound could escape, he moved. Rudra's arm slipped firmly around her waist, pulling her close. His other hand pressed against her lips in one swift motion. The cold touch of his palm silenced her instantly, her eyes going wide with shock. Her body stiffened, struggling against his iron grip. Her bangles clinked, her silks rustled as she tried to wriggle free, but his hold didn't loosen. "Shhh..." he whispered, his voice low, rough, and steady-more command than plea. Amaira's heart hammered against her chest, her gaze lifting to his face. His eyes-stormy, burning-locked with hers. And in that raw intensity, her fear mixed with something she couldn't name. Tears welled in her lashes, spilling slightly as she shook her head, silently begging him to let go. Rudra's jaw tightened, but his eyes softened for the briefest second as he whispered again, this time almost gentle- "Chillao mat..." (Don't shout...) The princess stood trapped in the arms of a stranger, her world shaking for the first time. And yet... something deep inside her stilled, caught in those unfamiliar eyes that refused to let her go. Rudra's voice was low, threaded with a rough honesty that made her heart pound harder. "Maanna padega... sach mein khoobsurat ho tum. Isi liye log tumhe dekhne ko taraste hain." (I have to admit... you're truly beautiful. That's why people yearn to see you.) Amaira's eyes widened further. No one-no man-had ever dared come this close to her. Not her father, who treated her like an heir more than a daughter. Not her brother, who barely spoke. Not the men who came for rishtas, who only saw her from a distance like some untouchable jewel. But this stranger? He was inches away, his breath grazing her skin, his gaze piercing right into her soul.

He was a good man once. Kind and patient, he'd do anything for the people of his kingdom. That's over now. He's changed. No longer is he the loving King they once remembered. His heart has turned cold. Content Warning: Gore, Foul Language, Death, Violence, Insanity If any of these disturbs you, do not read this book unless you think you can handle it.
