✧・゚: * A Cinderella retelling with a gender swap ✧・゚: * Elias' life has been a living hell for the past couple years. His stepfather and brothers couldn't hate him any more. Nothing could possibly get worse... or so he thought. Throw in a loan shark, or rather a beautiful twisted lady, and Elias finds himself a part of a dangerous contract. The solution? A tournament lasting three nights and a ball in celebration of the winner and the princess' coming of age. The prize? A kiss from any maiden in the land, including the kind and beautiful princess who is not as she seems. What could possibly go wrong? *DISCLAIMER* ****Scenes with violence, bullying, assault are involved.***** You have been warned. I do not own any pictures or graphics used in this book.
