Sinscared Series #1 A forbidden love. A betrayal lurking in the shadows. And a world built on blood, deception, and vengeance. In the ruthless world of the Italian mafia, loyalty is power, betrayal is death, and love... is a dangerous game. Serafina Moretti is no stranger to violence. Born into the mafia, she was shaped by its rules-cold, unforgiving, and unyielding. But there's one rule she can't control: the way she feels for Lucien Beauchene. Lucien has always been there-her protector, her confidant. But he's never been hers. His heart has always belonged to another woman. Now, bound by an arranged marriage that neither of them wanted, Serafina is forced to face a truth she's spent years running from: Lucien's love is a ghost. And as the Russian mafia closes in, their fragile peace teeters on the edge of destruction. Serafina must navigate a dangerous world of blood, betrayal, and lies, while fighting a love that was never truly hers to claim. In the end, the question isn't how far she'll go to save Lucien-but how much of herself she's willing to lose in the process?

Rose, a blooming teenager who has met all these kinds of people, has given herself the label of an 'internet vigilante' and hunts multiple social media predators and bullies just for her own satisfaction.

It's hard to say, honestly - everything happens online. *Based on a true story* 'May 2, 2021, nighttime, me sitting lazily on my phone. As usual, Instagram was my only hope during such a boring day. I was just watching reels, and most of them were either really funny, or really cringey, the latter which I proceeded to scroll past as soon as I saw them. I didn't really expect anything else from this app, actually. As I scrolled through the reels, more and more boredom started to enter my mind. Why can't some drama happen online? But that's when I noticed a notification from Instagram chats. "Hi" By cra_zy_kid_ Huh? Who's this now? Another creep, or just another 'soulmate' of mine?' ~~~~~~~~~ ✧🥉𝒯𝒽𝒾𝓇𝒹 𝓅𝓁𝒶𝒸𝑒 𝓌𝒾𝓃𝓃𝑒𝓇 𝒾𝓃 𝓉𝒽𝑒 𝐸𝒸𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝒶𝓌𝒶𝓇𝒹𝓈 𝟤0

But he carries baggage, shadows of a life she never knew. And Arohi? She isn't the same girl who once adored him from afar. As passion collides with the ghosts of their past, they must ask themselves: Is this fate giving them a second chance, or are they simply chasing a memory that no longer exists?
