"You don't look guilty," he murmurs, stepping in close. "That's because I'm not," I whisper back. His fingers brush my jaw, too rough to be kind. "No. You're worse than guilty." "Then what am I?" He smiles, cruel and gorgeous. "Unrepentant. And I like that. I want to see what it takes to make you beg for forgiveness." I smile back, just as cruel. "You'll die waiting." ----------------------------- Four boys. One lie. No forgiveness. I lied on the stand. Not by mistake. Not under pressure. I did it on purpose, and I did it for something I wanted more than justice. A billionaire went to prison. The world moved on. I disappeared. Now I'm back. Enrolled at the same elite university his son and his best friends attend. I thought I could stay quiet. I thought if I kept my head down, the past would stay buried. I was wrong. They remember me. They know what I did. And they want revenge served cold, cruel, and up close. So they drag me into their world of power, privilege, and manipulation. They move me into their house. Watch me. Corner me. Study me like I'm just another secret to uncover. But I've kept darker things hidden than they can imagine. And the more they try to break me, the more they start to fracture. Because obsession works both ways. And none of us are walking away clean. A dark, slow-burn reverse harem where enemies blur into lovers and lies are foreplay. No MM. No forgiveness. Just control, chaos, and the girl who never planned to survive, only to win.

♤♤ MATURE CONTENT warning ♤♤ • • • He's charming. He's handsome, talented, charismatic. People hang on to his every word. A bachelor, stone cold businessman and a man of very few words. A whole package that's definitely way out of her league...should be out of her league yet...why does he seem to be purposely appearing before her everyday as the days go by. Why the hell did this upper echelon businessman suddenly appear inside her complex and how the absolute f*ck was he able to make the hairs on her neck rise and her legs clench whenever she just so happens to coincidentally brush past him on those fleeting days. Sophia thought she had it all figured out, that was until that fateful day. Two paths that were certainly never meant to collide had crashed into each other in the most unexpected of ways. The product of this fateful encounter? A man whose interest could border on obsession and a woman who's hellbent on ignoring and avoiding the man who is solely responsible for making her feel these weird and uncontrollable urges. ■ | ♧ |Status: ongoing | ♧ |Updates: on weekends ● (Also this is a first unedited draft so there might be errors) Lovely cover by Denise~ ■

Yulia has survived hell-kidnapped, beaten, buried alive-and through it all, Matteo, Leonardo, and Alessandro tore the world apart to bring her back. Their love is her sanctuary, their passion a fire that burns away the lingering shadows of her captivity. But when Dimitri Zverev steps into their lives, he brings a storm they never saw coming. "You dragged her into this!" Leonardo's voice is a thunderous growl, his fists clenched, his body trembling with barely contained rage. "And yet she's still alive, isn't she?" Dimitri fires back, his tone defiant, though a flicker of guilt betrays him. Dimitri's eyes darken, his jaw tightening as he stands his ground. "You think I don't know what I've done? I'd die for her just as you would. I bled for her and I would bleed for any of you!" But Dimitri is more than just a man with regrets-he's a force that shakes the foundation of everything Yulia and her men have built. His raw intensity, his unyielding loyalty, his whispered promises threaten to unravel their delicate balance. Lines blur as passion ignites, and the shadows of Dimitri's life spill into theirs, bringing danger, temptation, and the promise of something neither Yulia nor her men ever expected: completion. Four men. One woman. A love that doesn't just heal-it devours. Sequel of Yulia. Cannot be read as a stand alone, because it will be confusing.
