"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."

"You can't take all of us, sweetheart." Valen's voice is smooth, teasing, but the way his fingers brush against my hip isn't playful. It's testing. Behind me, Fennec chuckles, his breath warm as he leans in, his lips barely ghosting the shell of my ear. "She could try." His voice dips lower, dragging heat down my spine. "I'd love to watch her try." ------------------------------- Soraya Cordova was never meant to survive. Stolen as a child and discarded as a mistake, she was given a second chance when the Cordovas adopted her into a life of wealth, secrets, and silent wars.

It's about the things we do to survive, the lies we tell to protect, and the love that thrives even in the darkest corners. Read at your own risk.

❝ you're the only girl that i have ever wanted. ❞ Eloise Young has lived her whole life in the eye of fame, the child of Hollywood royalty. So when she falls for rising actor Joseph Zada, the attention doesn't scare her, at least, not at first. Joseph has only ever loved one person: Eloise. He intended to keep it that way. The day she brought lunch to her father on set, he was captivated, absolutely enchanted by her presence. Two months later, they were in love. At eighteen, they were both just beginning their lives, but in completely different worlds. Eloise was a college student in Los Angeles, chasing her English degree, while Joseph was a rising star, landing movie after movie. It didn't matter, they always made it work. Completely and utterly in love, distance and busy schedules couldn't break them. They always found a way. Until they don't. By 2025, Joseph had become a major actor, while Eloise was still grinding through college. His filming schedule meant he was constantly in and out of California, leaving them barely enough time together to feel like a real couple. Then came the news: Joseph had been cast as young Haymitch, a role that required him to spend the entire summer in Spain. Eloise couldn't handle it. She made a choice that would haunt them both, a decision that wasn't just a breakup, but one that left Joseph filled with resentment. Towards her. When memories of what they once shared refuse to fade, Eloise and Joseph are pulled back into each other's lives. The feelings they tried to bury resurface, testing their hearts and the lives they've built apart. As they confront what they once lost, they can't help but wonder: could this time be better than before? ©𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐞

The marriage was decided in a room that smelled of smoke, blood, and old money. She was never asked. To the world beyond the locked gates, the two brothers were monsters-names whispered in fear, kings of an underworld built on extortion, bodies, and silence. The elder brother ruled with a mind like a blade: sharp, cold, precise. He calculated lives the way others counted coins, and mercy was a language he never learned. The younger brother was worse in a different way-raised without softness, trained without restraint. A beast shaped into human form, a killing machine who understood commands better than emotions. She had never seen the outside world. Never felt sunlight without bars between her and the sky. Her life had been a narrow corridor of obedience and bruises, raised by family who taught her silence before speech and pain before hope. She learned early that surviving meant enduring, that breathing quietly was safer than breathing freely.
