"You came begging for a shield, sweetheart. You had a dead man's blood on your hands and a terrified child clutching your leg, and you thought you were just asking for sanctuary. You didn't know I've spent four years turning the Russian underworld into a slaughterhouse just to find the girl who smiled at me in a hallway. You want me to wipe out the cartel that hurt her? Done. I'll burn them to ash before the sun comes up. But the price is you. You think this diamond on your finger is a marriage? It's a cage. And I am never, ever opening the door." - Andrei Romanov --- To the Russian underworld, Andrei Romanov is the Devil-a ruthless, untouchable Don who commands the largest criminal syndicate in the country.

She moves like she's untouchable. Popularity, attention, a boyfriend, everything exactly as it should be. But perfection comes with pressure. A life measured in expectations that never ease, only tighten. And some nights, an empty feeling hurts less than a full one. He's the new guy. Quiet. Broody. The kind of presence people feel before they see, and choose not to approach. Control is the only thing that ever made sense. Long before this place. Long before her. Then she starts appearing everywhere. Lecture halls. Corridors. The spaces he used to have to himself. Like chaos has decided to learn his rhythm. And for all his control, there are things he has never learned until her. Now the girl made for chaos might be the one thing capable of undoing everything he's built... or becoming the only thing he can't stop watching.

She disappears when the pressure builds, returns polished and untouchable, like she wasn't just clawing for air in the dark. She was only supposed to steal a few files-files she knows too well. Just enough to secure her place at the top. Instead, she captures the attention of a man who built his empire from ruin. A man who doesn't forgive betrayal. He wants control. He wants obsession. He wants to ruin her. And she might just ruin him right back.

In the kingdom of Eldoria, where moonlight kissed silver spires and ancient magic lingered in every shadow, Princess Vanessa lived a life gilded in beauty yet chained by duty. She was clever, headstrong, and sharp-tongued-every inch the ruler her people expected. But her heart burned with quiet rebellion, and nothing stoked that fire more than the arrival of her newly sworn guardian: Sir Ava, a knight whose name carried the weight of legends...and the sting of being her former enemy. Vanessa loathed the arrangement. To have Ava, the woman who once fought against her kingdom, now sworn to protect her every breath felt like an insult carved into her pride. Ava, for her part, met the princess's disdain with cool defiance, a steel-eyed resolve that neither crown nor command could bend. They clashed like storm and flame, their words as sharp as any sword. Yet, beneath the veneer of duty and resentment, something dangerous stirred. In stolen glances across torchlit halls, in the silence of midnight patrols, in the moments when Ava's hand lingered too long upon Vanessa's arm-hatred began to unravel. What emerged was something far more perilous: a yearning neither of them dared name. For theirs was a love forbidden by crown and creed, a bond that defied the very laws of loyalty and blood. Vanessa knew she should despise her knight, yet every day the walls she had built around her heart began to crumble. And Ava, sworn to protect but never to love, found herself caught between oath and desire. In a world where kingdoms could fall for less, the greatest danger they faced was not blade nor betrayal-but the forbidden love growing between princess and knight.

Revenge. She's inhumane. Emotionless. Messed up in the head-a diagnosed ASPD mind turned into something precise, something dangerous. A machine. The underworld doesn't call her by name. They call her the flame behind the ghost don. The living requiem. Nyx. And when something like her sets her sights on a target? She takes. Uses. Burns everything necessary to get what she wants. And 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐞 𝐑𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨 became exactly that. There's nothing the Camorra king hates more than her-the ghost, the flame, the thorn in his side he's been chasing for years.
