"No-please-don't do this!" Seraphina sobbed, her voice cracking as she clung to her eldest brother's wrist. "I-I'll be good. I'll do whatever you say, just don't-" A sharp crack echoed through the room as his palm struck her cheek, sending her crashing to the marble floor. Pain exploded across her skin, but it was nothing compared to the terror clawing at her chest. From above, his voice was cold. Unmoved. "You will marry him." She shook her head wildly, crawling backward until her spine hit the wall. "He's a monster," she whispered, her breath shuddering. "He's not human. Please, don't make me do this. I'll die." Her second brother crouched in front of her, grabbing her chin roughly, forcing her to look at him. His lips curled, eyes void of warmth. "Then die." Her breath hitched. "But you will die as his wife." The door behind them creaked open. Heavy footsteps. Her father stepped inside, his expression unreadable. "Lock her in this room," he ordered. "She will not step out until her wedding day." Sera thrashed as hands seized her, dragging her toward the massive iron doors. "No! Please-Father, please!" But he didn't even look at her. The last thing she saw before the door slammed shut was her brothers standing side by side, indifferent as she was thrown into a fate worse than death. Then darkness. And the only thing left was the suffocating truth. She was a sacrifice. A bride to the Sinister, a devil himself. #A STANDALONE BOOK

Isaac pulls back, his eyes burning into mine. "Look at me after I kiss you" he says, voice low and rough, like he's fighting for control. I nod, breathless, cheeks flaming. "Are you shy?" he asks, a teasing lilt in his tone. I shrug, my voice barely a whisper. "I-I don't know what to do. It's my first time kissing someone." Isaac's eyes soften. He smiles-a slow, dangerous smile that sends another shiver through me. "It's also my first time, Mila" he says, voice warm and low. My head snaps up, eyes wide. No way. He's too good at this. "It can't be" I say, disbelief colouring my voice. He leans closer, lips brushing my ear. "Just because it's my first kiss doesn't mean I don't know exactly what I need to do to make you feel good, sweetheart." Heat blooms in my cheeks, spreading down my neck. My hands tremble as they rest on his chest.

"He was the dark night. She was the bright day. But their hearts were colorless, and yearned for the same change." - REVIEWS: "Colorless Hearts is an amazing story that shows that it doesn't matter what race you are. With all the terrible events going on in the world right now, Colorless Hearts can serve as a beautiful reminder that there are still people like the main protagonists who only see each other as human beings, not as someone of another race or, overall, different as them.

At nineteen, she has learned how to disappear-how to shrink herself between cruel words, favoritism, and a family that never chose her. Except for one brother who visits too rarely, love has always been something she watches others receive. He is everything she is not. Powerful. Untouchable. Feared. At twenty-five, his name bends the world to its knees. Violence listens when he speaks. Wealth follows his shadow. He was raised to rule, to command, to never soften. Until her. She does not belong in his world. She is too gentle. Too innocent. Too breakable. But once his eyes land on her, the world that ignored her no longer exists. And for the first time in her life- someone chooses her.

Loving her from afar.
