𝐃𝐄𝐊𝐎𝐃𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐓𝐈́𝐍𝐄𝐙 never meant for things to turn out this way. Moving to a new town was supposed to be a fresh start, but all it did was remind her how lost she already felt. 𝐆𝐀𝐁𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐋 𝐁𝐀𝐊𝐄𝐑 doesn't talk much - mostly because there isn't much left to say. He's learned to live quietly, keeping his distance from anything and everything. But when Dekoda shows up, something shifts. She's chaos wrapped in calm, and he can't seem to stay away They both carry stories they don't want to tell, but somehow, they start to find peace in each other's silence People always talk about moments that change everything. But nobody ever warns you about the quiet ones - the ones that don't feel like anything until later. For me, it started with a name I wasn't supposed to hear, a wave that hit the shore a little harder than usual, and the feeling that someone out there had just stepped into my life without even knowing it. And the weird part? I felt it before I ever saw her. ⁿᵒᵗ ᵉᵈⁱᵗᵉᵈ ˢᵗᵃʳᵗᵉᵈ ⁻ ᶠⁱⁿⁱˢʰᵉᵈ ⁻

A single father living in a rundown complex with his nine-year-old son, Maizen, he's desperate to give his boy a better life - even if it means doing things he never imagined. When Jordan Crawford, the wealthy older brother of Asa's best friend, comes back to town, sparks fly - but not the friendly kind.

The screens on the sides of buildings were already on, advertising Particle City as if it were a perfect world. Ads of the Emperor and his dazzling smile. Posters of "happy" street-sweepers. And on the side, there was a large image of a Particle City worker facing the city's symbol with these words in-between: 'Til Death Do Us Part. A couple of days ago, those pictures would've reassured her. Comforted her. And now, it only clawed sharper at the odd ache in her chest. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ In the dystopian society of Particle City, happiness is shoved so far down a person's throat, it's hard to tell what's real and what's not anymore. Most everyone there is internally crumbling, but under their commander, humanity is simply a suggestion. So they put on a happy face and do their work. Astra is one of the thousands upon thousands of victims trapped in this vicious cycle of fake smiles and oppression that seems unbreakable. When she finds out the secrets of her beloved society, things unravel into a rebellion she never saw coming.

Lana thought she had it all. Recognition, good grades and popularity. But it's all thrown away because of a harmless sex video she thinks nothing of. Only that the video isn't harmless. It's a death sentence. She gets involved with the Italian mob. She meets her criminal of a father after 12 years and she is thrown in a country she knows nothing of, unknowingly the daughter of a Serbian mob boss. Gone are the pom-poms and life full of aesthetic and in is the blood, gore and weapons all over the place. She can't adapt to this life alone. Especially since her father has gone MIA. She needs a personal guide. A pillow to vent to. A babysitter. Sebastian. All glorious in his Greek height and skin isn't exactly an ideal vent system. She pulls closer, he pushes away. She's full of spirit, he wears the same emotion everyday. 《《《《《《《《《《《《《《《》》》》》》》》》》》》》》》 "Where the heck were you?" Sebastian said, arms crossed, expression unreadable. "You're welcome," I replied, brushing past him. "For what?" "For waiting for me. I felt like my outfit wasn't cute enough so I went back to the boutique." "You had one job-" "-to look cute? Mission accomplished." I gestured to my outfit with a dramatic twirl. He exhaled through his nose, muttering something in Greek that definitely didn't sound like a compliment. "Hey," I said, walking backward in front of him. "If you're going to insult me, at least do it in English." "You're going to drive me insane." "Bold of you to assume you're not already there." He stopped walking, tilting his head slightly. "Do you ever not talk?" "Only when I'm asleep." "Then I'll make sure to put you to bed." "Was that a threat or an attempt at a joke?" I teased. He simply smirked with something dark and primal in his eyes as he backed away. "You choose, μωρό."

Jane, a seemingly cold-hearted prison guard, dedicated her life to working in a maximum security facility, sacrificing everything to live among the world's most violent criminals as a way to evade her life outside those walls. Her world changes with the arrival of a new inmate.

In a world ruled by blood contracts, quiet betrayals, and sins no one ever confesses aloud, secrets don't stay buried for long. She steps into a war she never meant to join. He carries the weight of violence, loyalty, and wounds he'll never admit to. But when their paths collide, desire becomes a weapon-and trust becomes a luxury neither of them can afford. Nothing in their universe is gentle. Every emotion is a risk. Every touch is a warning. Every promise comes with a price. She wasn't supposed to get close. He wasn't supposed to let her. Yet the pull between them defies reason, defies caution... and defies the fate waiting in the shadows. Fate isn't merciful. It's cruel, calculated, and patient. Someone is destined to break. Someone is destined to bleed. And when loyalty is paid in blood, the only question left is: Who will betray whom first? [© Esme. All rights reserved.

Ever since she was a child, Melody has dreamed of following in her famous mother's footsteps and becoming a singer. But there's one problem-her voice.

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐫. 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐲. In a city that eats the innocent alive, 𝐋𝐮𝐝𝐨𝐯𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢 learned to become the predator. She doesn't have a job - she has disguises. By day, she's just a tired single mother with a daughter to raise and a past that won't stay buried. By night, she's the whisper in Manhattan's penthouses - a conwoman who seduces, steals, and leaves her sins gift-wrapped in diamonds. New York taught her how to survive: weaponise silence, smile like sin, and make danger fall in love with her. Some people run from their past. 𝐒𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬. "𝐈'𝐦 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠, 𝐈'𝐦 𝐡𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠." Because healing was never the plan. Revenge always was.
