💭 𝘋𝘢𝘻𝘦𝘥 - A Wattpad Original 💭 "Some people don't drown. They just get tired of swimming." Inspired by the mood of "Act viii: I Hate to Be Alone" by 4Batz Armani Monroe looked like she had it all together-steady job, decent money, and a "perfect" family. But behind the fake smiles and quiet nods, she was barely breathing. The love she thought she had was conditional. Her family turned cold, always choosing sides, comparing her, tearing her down in silence. She felt invisible in a room full of people who claimed to love her. Every night, she laid in the dark asking God why she felt so unloved, so unseen, so alone. Then came Syre Creed-quiet, unreadable, and cold in a way that felt familiar. He kept everything locked inside, carrying his pain like a secret. His scars ran deep, but he never showed them. He'd rather suffer in silence than let anyone in. Trust? That's not something he gives easily. Love? He doesn't believe in it the way he used to. Two strangers. Two souls cracked by life. Both tired. Both dazed. And both aching for something real in a world that keeps letting them down. But maybe-just maybe-fate puts the most broken pieces together for a reason. Even if all they've ever known... is what it feels like to be alone.

"The Hacker and the Mob Boss" ❦ Reyna Fields seems to be an ordinary girl with her thick-framed glasses, baggy clothes, hair always up in a ponytail, and her head tucked away behind a computer screen. However, no one knows she's armed with a genius IQ and a heart of gold. She hacks her way into virtual systems on a search for her mother. Unfortunately for her, she has hacked into the wrong database. She hacked into the database of the notorious mob boss, Santino "Saint" Venturi. Saint is the opposite of his name. He's known for his ruthlessness. As a mob boss to a mafia, he learned to eat or be eaten. When Reyna stumbles upon his database, a plan dispersed into his mind. He's going to take her. ❦ "I don't share, angel." "He's a friend," she found herself saying. Dante was too busy staring at her to notice the fiery glare in Saint's eyes. She was mentally praying that Dante would just look away. His fingers trailed up her leg before his hand latched onto her sex. He held her there while a small gasp left her lips. "I will fuck you on this table if he doesn't stop looking at what belongs to me." ❦ READ BOOK 2 -> The Kingmaker HIGHEST RANKING: #5 romance - 6/26/22 Dark Romance Cover by @-simplyhann
