Eli Marlowe's life ends the night the Vellores break into his home. What was supposed to be an ordinary night turns into a nightmare when one of the most feared mafia families storms into his house searching for answers. Dragged into a world he knows nothing about, Eli suddenly finds himself trapped among dangerous men capable of killing without remorse. And the worst of them all notices him immediately. Lucian Vellore is cruel, unstable, and terrifyingly unpredictable. In the underworld, people fear him more than death itself. He is the kind of man who leaves blood behind wherever he goes and feels nothing while doing it. At least... that's what everyone believes. After the violent home invasion leads to Eli's captivity inside the Vellore mansion, survival becomes his only goal. Forced to live among monsters, Eli quickly realizes escaping the Vellores may be impossible. Especially when Lucian's attention begins turning into something darker. More obsessive. More dangerous. What starts as kidnapping slowly becomes fixation. And Lucian hates it just as much as Eli fears it. Caught in the middle of it all, Eli must learn how to survive in a world built on violence without losing himself completely. Because in the Vellore mansion, nobody leaves unchanged. And sometimes the scariest thing isn't the devil watching you from the shadows it's the moment you realize the devil may be the only one keeping you alive.

It was supposed to be the perfect proposal. Cole Rivers had the ring, the rooftop reservation, and The Weeknd songs queued for post dessert vibes. Three years of love, laughter, and late night ramen with Natalia-all leading to this one moment. But instead of "yes," he got: "Cole, meet my fiancé... Dominic." Not just any Dominic. Dominic Crane. GraveTech CEO. Power-suited perfection. Cole's boss. And apparently... Natalia's upgrade. Cue spiral. Champagne-fueled heartbreak. A blackout night with 18-year-old scotch. One very illegal attempt to hack Dominic's company out of spite. But fate and a brutal corporate shake-up-have other plans. Now Cole is stuck working side-by-side with the man who shattered his relationship... and maybe something else he's not ready to name. Because Dominic? He's infuriating. Arrogant. Cold. Also: stupidly attractive. Unfairly competent. And magnetic in a way that short-circuits every defense Cole thought he had. What starts as sabotage turns into banter. Banter turns into tension. And heat turns into late nights, stolen glances, and lines that don't stay drawn for long. But can Cole really fall for the man who broke him? And if he does... who's the real traitor, Dominic or his own heart? Love was never part of the code. But some bugs don't want to be fixed. --- Top Rankings 🏆 1 - #Secretrelationship (10/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Sci-fi Fantasy (16/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Action-Thriller (23/09/25) 🏆 1 - #Tech (24/10/25) 🏆 1 - #boyxboy (02/11/25) 🏆 1 - #Original (09/11/25)
