"WHY CAN'T YOU FUCKING UNDERSTAND?" He screamed in my face, voice razor sharp, eyes burning with a madness I couldn't escape. "YOU'RE FUCKING MINE." I woke up chained, bruised, and broken, ripped from my perfect life and thrown into the ruthless grip of Rafe De Luca, a mafia kingpin who thrives on control, torture, and obsession. Every moment is a battle between pain and desire, fear and submission. He doesn't just want to own me. He wants to destroy me, piece by piece, until all I know is him. Twisted Vows is a savage, dark romance where love is a war, captivity is hell, and survival means surrendering to the madness. Dare to lose yourself? A/N: We're Nadine & Emma, two slightly insane besties from the Netherlands (yes, the tiny frog country with too much rain and bikes) who write dark romance like it's therapy. Spoiler: it's not working. We've been stuck in the same school together, but now Emma's betraying the squad by switching schools (how rude 💔). Luckily, we're still writing every messy, painful, dramatic plot twist together because ✨trauma bonding✨. We also have a third soulmate named Hannah, who constantly tells us: "You guys are absolutely insane." (She's not wrong.)

'Please,' I begged, tears streaming down my face. Adrik's gaze never wavered. 'Kiss me,' he repeated. My lips trembled, my heart heavy with fear." Tears streamed down my face as I stared at Adrik, his expression unyielding. "'Please,' I begged, my voice trembling. Adrik's gaze never wavered. "'Kiss me, and I'll feed your mother,' he said, his voice devoid of emotion. ************************************************* My dreams had always been clear: excel academically, attend Yale, land a fulfilling job, find love, and build a happy family.

His presence cast a dark shadow over every aspect of my existence, transforming my once hopeful dreams into a never-ending nightmare. His grip was unyielding, and I found myself trapped in a living hell, where my dreams seemed forever lost.

[edited version of Doctor for the Mafia] Ila Archer was a doctor working at one of the best hospitals in New York. She loses her license and ability to practice due to, as punishment, taking full responsibility for the 'walking patient' incident. After a full month, Ila runs into the 'walking patient'. Knowing her situation caused by his actions, he offers a once in a lifetime opportunity. ----- "Look, you're a doctor-" He started. "Was." I corrected. "I was a doctor." "You can still be," he said, running his fingers through his dark hair. "Look, you can work for us, and I'll pay triple the amount you were earning at that lousy hospital." "Us?' I asked. Who was he?
