Poppy expects him to be like the rest, only ever after one thing. But that's when Gabriel proves her wrong. After Rexx discovers her acquaintance with Gabriel, he demands that she spies on him to get information about his family and business. Reluctantly she wants to say no, but she has no choice.

"No wonder I'm going to protect her from the whole fucking world, but who's going to protect her from me?" ✧✧ "Cat got your tongue, little mouse?" ✧✧✧✧✧ They said the mansion was old. Haunted. Forgotten. I thought I was escaping. I didn't know I was walking straight into his trap. Someone is watching me. I hear whispers when I'm alone. Roses show up where they shouldn't. The air is heavy with secrets... and eyes I can't see. He's always one step ahead. One room closer. One breath behind me. I came here to be alone. But he made sure I would never be alone again. ------------ This is a rewritten version inspired by Haunting Adeline by H.D.

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast.

مِثلَ إمرأة تَغرُس السُمَّ في قلبهِ وتَمضي، وكان هُوَ يتَجرعُ سُمها عَن طيبِ خاطِر كَما لَو كانَ يتَجرعُ العَسَل. كانَ يراها نَجاتَهُ رُغمَ أنها لَم تَكُن اكثَر مِن كارِثه.. هيَ ذاتَ القلبِ الضَليعِ وَالعُيون الزَمهَرير.. وَ هوَ الرَجُل المُلَقب بالسَيئ والمُثير.. *مُقتَطَف* "أُُفَضِّل أنْ أتَفَتَتَ بَينَ يَديكِ عَلى أنْ أكُونَ خالِداً.." # الجزء الثاني من سلسلة لعنة المجرمين

للشيطان ألف وجه و لا واحد منهم يمتلك قرنين في الرأس لا طالما كانت تؤمن بهذه المقولة مدركة تماما أن الشياطين من الممكن أن تكتسي في زي راهب، أن تبدوا لوهلة كالملائكة و الأهم أن تتجسد على شكل رجل وسيم بملامح بريئة مثل هذا الرجل الذي إنتظرته لعشرين سنة من حياتها للشيطان ألف وجه و هو كان الوجه الآخر للشيطان سلسلة وحوش بشرية By : Assala Rose

وسط عيون الاستغراب وهمسات المشفقين، عُرفت بـ"فتاة الخميس" الفتاة التي حاصرها حبٌ عابر لا يشيخ آناستازيا، تلك الفتاة التي تمسكت بحب رجل أنقذ طفولتها وترك بصمة في أعماقها، بصمة لم تمحها السنين ولا خفّ وهجها بل عاشت حياتها بعد ذلك على أمل لقاءات الخميس التي لا تأتي .... أخبروها أن ما تعيشه ليس إلا وهمًا، أن الحب لا يُبنى إلا حين تتلامس الأرواح وتتحد الأجساد، وأن عليها أن تنهي انتظارها العبثي لرجل لن تعرف لقلبه سبيلا لكنها لم تُعر كلماتهم انتباهًا كانت تؤمن أن من يقطف الورود عليه أن يقبل بخدش أشواكها إلا أنها لم تُدرك يومًا أن بعض الورود تخفي أفاعيها القاتلة، وأن أشواكها قد تحمل سمًا لا يرحم... كانا شجرتين متقابلتين يمر الناس من خلالهم و لا أحد يعلم أن جذورهم تتعانق .... كانت قصتهما سطرًا مكتوبًا بين السطور، لا يُقرأ إلا بقلب ينبض بحزن وأمل لا ينطفئ. سلسلة وحوش بشرية الكاتبة: أصالة روز
