Copyright © 2024 by xphoenixo BEAUTIFULLY DESTROYED ELIXIR SERIES | BOOK 1 ××× Everything around her was chaotic. Lights were flickering on and off, casting wild shadows across the room. Sparks flew from broken wires, and the stench of burning plastic filled the air. But through it all, she heard the sound of slow footsteps approaching her. A pair of black boots stepped into her blurry line of vision. She tried to lift her head, but it felt like it weighed a ton. All she could do was lie there, soaked and shaking, staring up at the figure that loomed over her. He crouched down, his cold dark eyes gleaming with a twisted kind of pride. The one who smiled when she screamed. "Finally," he whispered, his voice smooth and calm, like he was congratulating her on passing a test. "My beautiful creation... ready to take on the world." Evelyn's heart pounded in her chest. She wanted to move, to fight, but she was too weak. The power that had burst out of her was gone, leaving her empty and drained. All she could do was glare up at him, her vision fading as exhaustion swallowed her whole. The last thing she saw before the darkness took her was his cruel smile, and she knew - this was far from over. He had won this time. But deep inside her, there was still a spark. And one day, that spark would become a fire that would burn him and all the monsters like him to ash. But for now, all she could do was survive. And wait. Because she has nothing to lose but him?

Valeria Black-Moretti was born into power. The first daughter of the legendary Moretti family in generations, she was loved by her seven older brothers and protected by the most feared Italian mafia dynasty in the world. As a child, Valeria was sunshine-fearless, mischievous, and impossible to resist. Until, at four years old, she was kidnapped by her family's enemies. Taken by the Russian mafia, she lost her childhood and was forced into a world of darkness. Years of pain and brutal training transformed her into something no one expected. At thirteen, she escaped. She destroyed the empire that tried to control her and built her own from the ashes. The world learned a new name: Diavola. Now seventeen, Valeria Black is the deadliest assassin alive, an undefeated street racer, a genius hacker, and the queen of the underworld. With her piercing green eyes, cold expression, and unstoppable ambition, she rules through fear and loyalty. She owns Valentiano Weapons, Valentiano Jewelry, and Valentiano Motors, three of the most powerful companies in the world. To everyone else, she is a mystery. To the underworld, she is a queen. But to the Moretti family, she is the daughter they lost. For thirteen years, Carlos Moretti and his seven sons searched for their missing princess. They never knew she survived. They never knew the little girl they lost became the woman the world fears. Until one day, they meet a girl named Valeria Black. A girl with their blood. A girl with their eyes. A girl who doesn't know she is a Moretti. Because Valeria Black-Moretti is not a victim. She is Diavola. And she is the storm.

She wasn't supposed to see it. One moment of silence in the wrong hallway, and she witnessed a crime her family will never forgive. Now she's a target-hunted by the same blood that should protect her. He is the mafia boss's son. Cold. Untouchable. A man carved from shadows and violence. He's tasked with keeping her safe, but his presence is no rescue-it's a cage. A predator watching his prey. The longer they're trapped together, the more the lines blur. His protection feels like possession. His silence feels like obsession. She can't ignore the truth whispered in his touch: he wants her, even though wanting her could ruin her. He's ready to burn his world to the ground for her. But love in the dark has a price. When survival demands sacrifice, the only way to save them both... is to walk away. A modern dark romance full of dangerous desire, forbidden temptation, and a bittersweet ending that lingers long after the last page.

"You murderer. What are you going to do? Kill me if I run away from you?" Zade hauled me closer, his eyes completely pitch black, "There is nowhere on earth you can run, because you are mine. Only mine. And if you do I will kill you. You can hate me until every last star in the sky dies, but as long as you're breathing, I control your life." Rage overtook my fears. I managed to wrench one arm free and swung with everything I had, slapping him across the face. It echoed like a gunshot. Zade's stood perfectly still for a second, then slowly wiped a smear of blood from the corner of his swollen lip. He looked back at me, a terrifying, manic smile spreading across his face. ★. ★ 𝐇𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫.

I started kissing her, removing the blanket from her, she remained only in my long shirt. "Don't do that, please..." She started to speak again but I silenced her with a kiss. "I'll kill your whole family, now kiss me." She immediately kissed me. I started touching her so roughly on her body, but when I looked into her eyes she was looking at me so sad, but so sexy in my shirt. My hatred for her seemed to disappear. I started stroking her cheek. "You are beautiful. You have very beautiful eyes." • This story contains abusive and mature content.

No Saints in Silk A dark mafia romance filled with blood, betrayal, and silk-threaded lies. In the American underworld, power doesn't roar; it whispers behind closed doors. Deals are signed with champagne toasts and sealed in blood. And at the heart of it all stands Milana Saint: rich, ruthless, raised by the Don of the Black Diamond Empire himself. She was born into legacy, trained to smile at kings and slit throats behind their thrones. But when a single gunshot shatters her loyalty-and the truth about her mother's death comes to light-Milana's not playing nice anymore. She's not the princess of this empire. She's the storm. Three men. One Greek. One Italian. One Japanese. All foreign. All dangerous. All pulling her deeper into a war they swore she'd never survive. One of them was sent to protect her. Another to use her. And the last? Might've already broken her without even touching her. Love was never supposed to be part of the equation, but in a world where loyalty gets you killed and legacy is written in blood, Milana learns fast: You can't trust family, You can't escape enemies. And you sure as hell can't fall in love. Not unless you're ready to lose everything. Forced proximity. Forbidden love. Power plays. Brutal betrayals. Deadly secrets. And three sinners who'd kill for her.

In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.

"Come here," I just ignored him like I always do and continued looking out my window. "Mila," I heard him call my name in his deep Italian accent and I almost obeyed to his commands but I had to stand my ground. "Mila stai iniziando a farmi incazzare." He said loudly but I couldn't understand what he was saying (Translation) "Mila you're starting to piss me off." "You act like I can understand you dickwad," I turn to him angrily. I don't know why I'm so angry. He really did nothing wrong but I knew I made a huge mistake so I quickly rushed over to him and said, "Luc I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me, but I really am sorry," He grabs me by the waist and pulls me in between his legs and says, "If you ever pull that shit again I will kill you. I will put several bullets into your skull," _-_-_ Mila Fanely gets fired from her job as a nanny.
