The Tragic Life of Apollo - Born to a fifth-generation mafia heir and his purchased child bride, Apollo Amoto was always meant to take over his father's empire. What he hadn't realized was that despite his efforts, the rotten apple doesn't fall far from the tree. - Apollo loved to play games and his favorite kind were the ones that he won. He had won the ongoing battle of who his future wife would be, and as a last resort effort, Andreas had him kidnapped in the night and chained to be beaten into submission. He hadn't realized that power has a snowball effect and right now, Apollo was an avalanche. "Again!" Apollo laughed loudly as he swung his legs in preparation for the next hit. "More! Give me more, Papa!" The energy in the room was turning scary. "I'm going to kill her!" Andreas yelled as he swung his weapon as hard as he possibly could into his son's back. "I'll kill that fucking girl and make you watch it! You will not ruin this for me!"

For seven years, she's kept her feelings carefully under wraps because he once made it clear nothing would ever happen; she's too young and he's her boss. But on Christmas eve, just as she's ready to let go of him and move on with her life, the weather gets in the way. Being snowed in with him at work changes everything. As the night evolves, it becomes evident to Octavia that Caleb might like her more than he lets out. When the truth breaks, they make a deal: for as long as the blizzard casts them away from the rest of the world, they agree to give in to their deepest desires. Will they want more, when the snow starts melting in the morning?

Jack was the antagonist in the last film. And he didn't like the ending.

COMPLETED | ~64,000 words • • • Off-limits had never been an issue before. Ranging from models, teachers, bakers, lawyers, and once, a police officer--Norman Gage had had his pick of women. However, it was no surprise that even a casanova like him was beginning to feel the emptiness of being alone as he watched his close friends settle down one by one and his age never going down the scale. Enter a stubborn woman from years ago he barely had much of an impression of. Her no-nonsense attitude toward him apparently harbored more than just snowballed resentment. Despite Norman's one-track mind to chase after her, would his persistence be in time to bend and break her rules, or were they only meant to stay in the past after all? ••• ION series | All stand-alone books Book #1: Insatiable (Ian) Book #2: Scarred (Oscar) Book #3: Game Over (Norman) *best NSFW scenes! cover done by @AndiApplexoxo ♡︎

COMPLETED • • • She was so brave. He couldn't understand how she didn't hate him. He did this to her, he was the reason of her scar. Had she not meet him that night, her life would've gone on as per normal. She wouldn't have to hide in shame, she wouldn't have to cry to sleep. She shouldn't have gone through any of it. She barely knew him! -- "I don't need your pity." She said, turning her face away. He didn't see it, but he knew she must be tearing. Fuck, did it ache to watch her cry for the umpteenth time. He couldn't take it anymore. He cupped her face with both his hands, forcing her to look at him; to see the truth evident in his eyes.
