(HOPE-VERSE #1) Carter Romano is tired of the mafia life. To get his freedom, his father makes a deal with him to kill their biggest enemy, Rossi. In searching for the enemy, he stumbles upon the chirpy adorable nurse named Lilly Hastings. What she doesn't know is that she saved the life of Carter Romano's biggest enemy and Carter kidnaps her because he thinks she knows the answers to where he can find Rossi. Torture turns into lust, lust turns into possessiveness, and possessiveness turns into... What could it be, darling? ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ "I am not buying this dress. It's too revealing." He smiles "You can't even afford it, Lilly. So I am buying this." He stands up and makes his way to me. His body language was calm but his eyes were like a fire that was about to burn me. I turn around to walk back into the dressing room but he's hot on my heel, following me inside it. The space was cramped but he closed the door and locked it. Pinned me up against the wall. My breathing hitched when I felt the cold wall on my bare back and I gasp when he grabs my hips. He leans, almost hovering, and kissed my cheek "I'm buying this dress so you can wear it for me one day." I swallow "I'm never wearing this." He chuckles in my ear which makes my stomach feel crazy "You're wearing this for me so I can take it off, darling."

It's a regular day at the hospital for Dr. Aysel Clark. Until it's not. With a critical, bleeding patient rolled into the hospital one evening-him being none other than the richest CEO of the country-and her having to assist in his surgery, her life slowly takes a drastic turn. She finds herself in the midst of the intimidating billionaire's world... and right in the face of her haunting past. Aiden Knight, the country's most attractive and successful businessman, is feared by all. He is dangerous, rude and arrogant with no regard for anyone's feelings. He is notorious for being heartless, murdering anyone in cold blood if they dared crossing him... or so people believed. But beneath his tough exterior and daunting stares is a trauma he hides from the world. He wears his pain as a shield, allowing no room for compassion. Hatred sprouts initially, sparks ignite and secrets uncover as their pasts collide and come around to haunt them, catapulting the callous CEO into the kind doctor's life. Will Aysel be able to tame the beast within Aiden? Will he be able to open up to her and finally relieve the weight he has been carrying for years? #43 in ROMANCE #1 in featured #1 in ceoxdoctor #1 in hatetolove #1 in billionaire #1 in enemies #1 in morallygreyman #1 in trauma #1 in danger #1 in arrogant #1 in grumpy #1 in CEO #1 in slow burn #1 in dark past #1 in doctor #1 in rude #2 in possessive #2 in grumpyxsunshine #3 in beautyandthebeast #4 in enemiestolovers #4 in thriller #5 in texttospeech #6 in revenge #11 in dangerous #18 in dark

Walking away felt like its own kind of pain, and hope had long since lost its meaning. In the chill of the evening, every step weighed on me-bones aching, skin stinging, as if each movement tore something loose inside. My tears burned against the cold wind, searing rather than soothing. "Please," I whispered, the word slipping out like a fragile, fading prayer. "Do you want me to touch you like this, Daisy?" Each step drags, my feet heavy against the ground, every footprint feeling like I'm leaving a piece of myself behind-like my soul is slipping away with each one. My senses dull, my energy drains, until all that's left is a hollow, aching emptiness. But hasn't it been this way for the past three years without him? "Have anyone made you feel like this? Wet like this?" I don't know if I'll survive this time-but I'm still asking for one more chance. "Just one... and I'll make everything right." But why do I have to beg for it? Why am I the only one fighting? Why is it always on me to fix what's broken? "Do me Jungkook, p-please." Love-so simple, yet impossibly complicated. No matter what he's done, no matter the hurt or the distance, I'm still in love with him. And I want to fight for us one last time. I need to see how it ends, even if it breaks me. Just one final try. "With all the pleasure. I will fuck you, only fuck you with everything I have Daisy." There's no point in hoping, is there? He isn't here. He isn't coming. So, there's no chance at a happy ending for me now... is there? The sun sinks lower, shadows stretching as night draws near. With a heavy heart, I force my feet forward, each step pulling me farther from the possibility of him-of us. I knew this from the start. I should have known better, should never have let myself fall for someone like Jungkook, someone who doesn't believe in love. NOTE: This book was completed in 2023 and is being rewritten this year.

" I want to kiss you." His eyes widened as you got away a little, but still close enough. You kept staring at him as he was doing the same. Too stunned to even react. Your eyes landed on his luscious lips as you licked your own. You held his jacket with your fist before moving closer until your breaths mingle with each other. Your lips getting closer to his ready to claim them. But before they could touch, Jungkook held your shoulder moving you away from him. "M-Miss. Y/N, it's wrong." He stuttered as he tried to push you away but not too harshly to hurt you. Your eyes went a little gloomy as you stared at him. He was looking down. You sighted before yanking his hands away as you stumble a little. "Why?" When he always pushed you away but carved for you secretly. Was it worth to fall in love with your bodyguard, who you looked at as your future? But who knows how your past is related to him? Is he really your forever? Will this love get its Happy ending? Or will it rest as one-sided love? ________________🦋_______________ 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗜𝗦 𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗘𝗗𝗜𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚. This story contains mature language. Also mentioned violence. Don't proceed if you're uncomfortable.

❛❛Thank you, Mr. Jeon. You saved me tonight.❜❜ The streets were unsafe, and a young woman like you stood no chance at surviving in a town like such―especially when the source of your troubles was your own family or even close friends. A professor whose only job is to teach his students and collect his paycheck. A student attending his class to graduate and become a better writer. Both suddenly entangled in a complex student-teacher relationship―a connection that transpired all because of your writing and your life. The town was dangerous, and he knew it. You were mysterious, and he loved it. That one professor knew what he was getting into, yet he chose to protect you at any cost. || ||WARNING⚠️: IF YOU DON'T LIKE TEACHER X STUDENT FANFICS LEAVE NOW!
