"You think you're a ghost in these halls, Aurora, but I have memorized the frequency of your breath. Go ahead-run. But I am the horizon; no matter how far you go, you are still within my sight. I will dismantle every version of a life you've built without me until the only thing left for you to lean on is my shadow. You aren't just a part of my world; you are the pulse I use to measure it." - Evander Laurent __________ In the hallowed, gothic halls of Ardencrest University, being a 'Ghost' is a survival strategy. Scholarship student Aurora Lane knows the rules: stay invisible, protect her brother, and avoid the gaze of the Elite. But she made one fatal mistake. She was noticed by the Crown Prince. Evander Laurent doesn't just lead; he possesses. He is a mastermind who views people as chess pieces, and he has decided that Aurora is his most prized prize. He doesn't want her heart-he wants to be the very air she breathes. He is systematically isolating her, tearing down her world until he is the only thing she has left to hold onto. In a game of psychological warfare and dark obsession, Aurora must decide: will she break under his control, or will she learn to rule the shadows he created? He's not just watching her. He's rewriting her reality. ____ "The Crown Prince |18+" is the first book in the Princes of Ardencrest Series

{𝐀𝐈𝐒𝐇𝐀 & 𝐙𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐍} || 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝟏 || Aisha Farooq spent years fighting for a future that belonged to her. Becoming a doctor wasn't just a dream anymore, it was proof that a woman could be more than someone's daughter, wife, or mother. But one family decision shattered everything. Forced into a Nikkah with her cousin Zayan Rahman, Aisha enters a marriage she never wanted with a man she believes will never understand her ambitions. To the world, Zayan is charming, careless, and impossible to take seriously. But behind his effortless smiles lies years of silent love and the painful truth that no matter how long he waited for Aisha, she never once looked at him the same way. Trapped between family expectations, buried resentment, and feelings neither of them know how to handle, their marriage becomes a battlefield of pride, heartbreak, and slowly unfolding love. Because sometimes destiny doesn't tie souls together gently. Sometimes it knots them so tightly that breaking apart becomes impossible

She feared him more than anything-until he became the only place she felt safe. After escaping years of abuse, Lina found a fragile kind of peace scrubbing floors in a mercenary's mansion. Quiet, invisible, and broken, she kept her head down and her voice lower. Especially around him. Killian. He kills for a living. He is a powerful, cold-blooded mercenary, a wealthy man who built his empire off blood, fear. He owns a powerful private military company that operates in the shadows, answering only to the highest bidders. He commands killers, closes deals, and never makes mistakes. Until her. A glance. A flinch. A wound she tried to hide. And suddenly, he was watching her closely. Quietly. Like she was a puzzle he didn't mean to touch... but couldn't stop obsessing over. Killian: "You blush like that again, and I swear I'll pin you against this wall just to see how deep it goes." He didn't know how to be soft. She didn't know how to be wanted. But in a house full of violence, he saw her. And he started to change. And soon, she was everywhere in his mind.

A Dominating Father-figure Boyfriend and His Delicate Lily-like Heroine. ❝He came to her house, bleeding and uninvited. She gave him coffee-and lost her freedom.❞ In a secluded villa district on the edge of City A, nineteen-year-old music student Liliane lives a quiet, disciplined life. That is, until a man in a bloodstained suit breaks in, locks the door behind him, and calmly says: "Make me coffee." He's not a thief. He's not a beggar. He's Sebastian-cold, powerful, and feared throughout the underground as Mr. Boss. And tonight, he's hiding in her house. A failed assassination. A betrayal from within. A three-year plan hanging by a thread. To survive, Sebastian must vanish from the grid-and Liliane's unlocked door offers the perfect cover. But what begins as a tactical retreat soon spirals into something else. The girl is too quiet. Too obedient. Too easily frightened. And far too beautiful for her own good. As Sebastian tightens his grip on her life-class schedule, phone calls, even the lock on her bedroom door-Liliane begins to realize: This man didn't just break into her home. He's rewriting the rules of her entire existence. She was supposed to be a temporary pawn. But he's already made her his personal territory. A dark, slow-burn romance of obsession, control, and the thin line between protection and possession.

{ Highest Ranking 👉🏻 #1 in Spiritual/ Islamic love story } I felt hurt seeing him in pain, pain, which wasn't so obvious to him. // .... Emotions overwhelming my unfaithful heart, I told him, "Assalam Alaikum, Ammar... your hand..." And they came covering us, maybe he didn't hear me. We walked towards the car, my attention on his bruised hand. Before we entered I took the first aid box. He stood there, tall, eyes ~ deep enough to drown me. He made my heart mad and it shivered as I neared him. I saw him grin and he let out a chuckle, and I asked him, terrified but fearless, "Why are you laughing ?" He turned to give me a closer look, his cold eyes examining every detail of mine and finally he spoke in his heavy Emirati accent that blew my senses, with a smirk alongside. What attitude !!! "Am I the doctor or you ? -I gave him a sideways death glare- And I told him, "I'm your wife," He raised his eyebrow side ways and I raised mine sideways too. And he talked again, burning what remained of me, my ears curious to listen to him. He told me to get in the car bluntly. I denied !! This time I wasn't going to listen to him. And he stared at me - his eyes speaking a lot yet they were so quiet. I saw him take a sigh of defeat! He moved up to me, close... closer.... bridging the gap that let air pass between us. And my fragrance blended in his enchanting one. *Takes a deep breath*

"Please Abhi ji... " she begged, her voice shaky, eyes searching his face for a flicker of mercy. She stepped back until the wall stopped her escape, her chest rising and falling rapidly. She could see it in his eyes-he was angry. But his voice? Too calm. Too controlled. And that scared her more than his rage ever could. He took another step forward, calm as ever, as if he wasn't burning inside. "Jaana, dar kyun rahi ho? Main kuch nahi karunga. Mat daro," he said smoothly, but the coldness in his gaze betrayed the lie behind his soft tone. (Darling, why are you scared? I won't do anything. Don't be afraid.) Her voice broke, laced with panic. "Aapne vada kiya tha... ki aap mujh par zabardasti nahi karenge," she reminded him, holding on to the last thread of hope. (You promised... that you wouldn't force yourself on me,) He smiled slightly, a calm too dangerous to trust."Aur Jaana, aapne bhi toh vada kiya tha ki aap apne boyfriend se kabhi nahi milengi. Aapne apna vada tod diya... ab meri baari " (And darling, you also promised that you would never meet your boyfriend. You broke your promise... now it's my turn.) His hands gripped her wrists and pressed them gently against the wall, not hurting her, but not letting her go either. Then, with a deliberate slowness, he leaned in and kissed her earlobe-sending a shiver down her spine. She squeezed her eyes shut, her heart pounding. She knew this wasn't about love. It was about control.
