Vintage Loving
When French elegance meets American ambition, sparks fly and hearts collide.
Amélie Beaumont has dedicated her life to her family's vineyard in the picturesque hills of Provence. With its rich history and her passion for winemaking, the Beaumont estate is her pride and joy—until Jack Reynolds, a relentless New York tycoon, sets his sights on taking it all. For Jack, business is about winning, and this vineyard is just another conquest.
But when Jack arrives in Provence to seal the deal, he’s met with more than a fight for the land. Amélie’s fierce spirit and the vineyard’s timeless charm awaken something in him he didn’t expect—a desire that goes far beyond the bottom line. As they clash over tradition and progress, passion begins to simmer between them, complicating their rivalry.
Caught between their opposing worlds, Amélie and Jack must decide if they’re willing to risk everything for a chance at love, or if the gap between their lives is too wide to bridge. From sun-soaked vineyards to Manhattan skyscrapers, this is a tale of love, legacy, and the intoxicating allure of a perfect pairing.

More Than A Baby Mama: Less Than A Wife (A Vintage Love)
There's nothing more important than love, Mila always told herself.
Even when her boyfriend cheated on her and accused her of stealing, leading to her being fired, Mila still held onto her belief.
For a 24-year-old young woman to survive in a big city where she knew nobody but her cheating boyfriend, Mila had to look for work elsewhere not just anywhere, but
The Montclair Club.
For one night, she served as a salesperson for the launch of a new wine. As the saying goes, (In vino veritas) Truth in wine.
Mila's truth was letting her hair down and having fun just for one night. The innocent woman had her own taste of a 'one wild night.'
The result? A positive pregnancy test.
Mila became pregnant by the hot-tempered, international playboy and heir of the Montclair Conglomerate, from a family of old money.
Zyran Ciro Montclair is known to have a special hatred for the words family and poor. He only believes that the poor are leeches and liars.
At the moment, the luxury of pride wasn't something Mila could afford.
Jobless, pregnant, and left alone in the big city, Mila decided to go after her baby's daddy. Even if he might reject her, she had to try. And somehow, in her pursuit, she ended up on the early morning news:
'Noblesse Oblige: Montclair Heir to Marry an Unknown Poor Country Girl. It's giving Rich Prince and The Pauper. A 21st-century Fairytale.'
What could possibly go wrong? you may ask.
Stepping into the rarefied and unhinged world of the Montclairs, Mila realized that their realm wasn't the same as her world of black and white. Her perception of life was turned upside down, and she couldn't help but wonder.
What could be so poisonous yet so good as power and money?
Will Mila's love endure when faced with Zyran's 12 rules for their marriage, including the humiliating demand of:
Rule No 6: “Submission is key: When I say kneel, you'll drop to all fours. Don't question it, just obey.”
Will she allow herself to be consumed by the corruption that comes with wealth, or will she spread her innocence and show Zyran a world where people don't have to be used? Can their love survive the poisonous influences of power and money?

Note: At least read some 3 or 4 chapters, please? After that, it's up to you. Thank you.
------------------------
Lack of interest in things. Love? Passion? Goal? What about them? They are just nothing in his mind, not even a single wondering moment about his future. Everything just seems average for him. "Normal" grades, "normal" family, "normal" looks, "normal" life. Everything just seems... normal, that’s it- is what he usually tapes himself with as he walks on the street towards the school. He seems fine with it though, not even asking for something fun.
A Diety, Vessel, and friend of god of Earth, coincidentally looks upon him below, sighed as he finally figured out that the boy is another one that wasn’t given a proper storyline in life by his friend. Feeling interested but somehow sorry for the boy, he then granted the boy something that will give him a story that he hadn’t even wished to have. Something fun, something great, and something worth living for. The thing, the key to unlocking the story, the power to see anything beyond what humans thought was a limited reality. This is the story of a boy that can see the other side of the world already. Gifted by an unknown being passing through the cosmos faster than the speed of light, the gift… is none other than the Unliving Eyes.
Vol 1- It was the first day of the third-year high school student Valentin Nobez, but for him, is just a standard, typical, passionless day. Little did he know, that on this specific day, it would be the most "normal" day he could ever think of.

It's about two brothers who love adventure and also creativity. Because they were the sons of the king they were not allowed to. So their sister always tried to report them but failed.

A good vintage story often has a well - developed setting that vividly recreates the time period. For example, it might describe the architecture, fashion, and social norms of the era in great detail.
Once upon a time in a small, snow - covered village, there was an old cottage. In this cottage lived an elderly woman named Mrs. Thompson. Every Christmas, she would bake the most delicious gingerbread cookies. One vintage Christmas, a young orphan boy named Timmy got lost in the snowstorm and found his way to Mrs. Thompson's door. She welcomed him in, and they spent the Christmas sharing stories and eating those warm gingerbread cookies. It was a simple yet heartwarming Christmas that year.
The story 'The Bell Jar' by Sylvia Plath was also around during that time. It's a semi - autobiographical novel that follows the life of Esther Greenwood, a young woman who is struggling with mental illness. It gives a very real and raw look into the mind of someone dealing with depression and the feeling of being trapped in a world that doesn't seem to understand her. It's a very important work in literature that has helped many people understand mental health issues better.
Once upon a time, there was a man who inherited a vintage watch from his grandfather. It was a Rolex Submariner from the 1950s. The watch had a scratched glass and a worn - out leather strap, but it still worked perfectly. He decided to get it restored. When he got it back, it looked brand new. He wore it on special occasions and it always made him feel a connection to his grandfather.
