Power built their empires. A contract bound their names. Eliana Mili Salvador Moretti was born with ice in her veins and a crown of thorns at her feet. The heiress of La Cosa Nera, she is The Black Rose of Italy-a queen equally revered in boardrooms and feared in the underworld. Lucian Aris Constantin was forged in the shadows of the Balkan Syndicate, sculpted into a living weapon. The king of a blood-soaked empire, he is The King of the Balkan Shadows-a ruler whose silence is more terrifying than any threat. They were rivals before they learned strategy. Nemesis before they understood desire. But a hatred this profound is a blade that cuts both ways. And when venom turns to temptation,enemies don't become lovers. They become an addiction. And the only thing more dangerous than a war between them... is the spark that could consume them both. And if a love story could be darker- it would be theirs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ They say heartbreak humbles the wicked. But Milaya Omolola Oladokun was never meant to bow. She played with fire and called it strategy. She kissed chaos and named it control. But when you gamble with the Adeoyes, the only promise is pain. Now, the once-feared queen walks in silence-burnt by the very blaze she lit. Milaya was beauty with a blade for a heart- sharp, cunning, untouchable. Until one kiss broke her throne. Now shattered and exiled in her own kingdom, she hides behind lip gloss and layered lies, regret tattooed where power used to live. Emran Adeoye is winter in a black suit- cold, calculating, unreadable. Once hers to unravel, now he's the phantom she can't chase, rewriting the rules of revenge with every breath he doesn't waste on her. And yet-some promises don't fade. They poison. They linger. They wait. This time, the game has changed. And no one is safe.

Shadows met. Sparks ignited. Secrets collided. Destinies twisted into a knot of forbidden threads-unseen, unspoken, unstoppable. The unknown stirred beneath their skin, and fate didn't just shift-it shattered. The rules? Rewritten. The world? Never the same. --- Milaya Omolola Oladokun- Veiled in innocence, cloaked in contradiction. A soft smile hides sharp edges. Sweetness conceals shadow. Her beauty? Ethereal. Her presence? A paradox. She is silk and fire. Laughter and lies. A girl of two worlds-one above ground, one far beneath. She walks with grace... and secrets. And no one sees them. Not until it's too late. --- Emran Amari Adeoye- Darkness, personified. A storm in stillness. Eyes that don't just look-they own. A smile that plays at kindness but hides something colder. Smarter. He is the silence before a collapse. A force wrapped in black threads and sharp thoughts. Danger wears him like perfume. Every movement calculated. Every glance a chess move. He doesn't enter rooms. He shifts gravity. --- When they met- Not even the stars dare look. ---

Copyright© 2023. All rights reserved. Meet Yasmin El-suraj, the epitome of determination. Defying the stifling norms of a judgmental society, Yasmin fervently pursues her dreams to ensure her family's rightful prosperity. In a society quick to judge, branding a woman's success as tied to whoring about and veiling it under a less prosperous business, Yasmin refuse to be defined by prejudice. When fate presents her the chance to become an event planner, Yasmin seizes it like a lifeline, disregarding her humble beginnings and embracing the opportunity with vigor. As the youngest and least affluent among her peers, she pours her heart and soul into mastering the craft, unwilling to squander this chance. Amidst the whirlwind of her burgeoning career, fate orchestrates a pivotal encounter during her first wedding event-a meeting with Abdullah, a groomsman. A man she knew she wanted, she fell for at first sight. The memory of their first interaction is a blend of blushing embarrassment and unforgettable mortification, etching itself indelibly in Yasmin's psyche. Most wouldn't look his way ever again and would hope to never meet in this lifetime, but not Yasmin. Despite discovering Abdullah's impending marriage, she stakes her claim, unyielding in a society where a man can have four wives, determined to find her place in his life.
