A 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐕𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐞𝐬 novel. Can be read as a stand alone. ~ "𝐒𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐞𝐠𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝." ~ His ghosts have followed him here - to this dreadful, sleepless place - where he's been inducted as the new Capo of Boston's branch of La Cosa Nostra by Don Roman Moretti himself. He's evolved; he's cruel and bloodthirsty. They call him the new God of the City. But gods are just monsters with a crown. And Vince has become someone he thought he buried long ago. The demons stalk him, cling to him, whisper in his ears. They're loud. Unrelenting. They consume everything. Except when he sees her. Azra Kian Sorrentino. A mind carved from stone. A heart lit from fire. She was raised the hard way - but instead of breaking her, it built her. She is all compassion in a world that rewards cruelty. She is sacred. Untouched. His peace. She's made for sin --made for him. And she hasn't noticed him watching. For months. She sets his soul ablaze. He tempts her like winter chill sliding up a summer spine. He's patient...but not patient enough. He wants her because she's the only one who makes the voices go quiet. She makes the blood he's spilled insignificant. She's made the chaos still. But behind Azra's fear... is a far more dangerous emotion. Temptation. ~ "𝐓𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐮𝐧.

And for the Lombardis and the Morettis, it was the most calculated, showstopping alliance of the century. Roman Moretti, Don of the La Cosa Nostra, and Angeline Lombardi, only daughter of the French-Italian Mafia Capo, had been betrothed since her birth --matched to unite two empires under one crown. Hidden from the world, Angeline was raised to be the perfect wife. Groomed. Silenced. Controlled. She learned early that one misstep would strip her of everything-including her name. Everyone's first mistake? They underestimated her. Though no one had ever seen her, the world assumed the Lombardi Princess was a polished doll. Quiet. Disposable. Roman saw the marriage as a formality-another calculated step toward total dominance. He had no plans to love her. No plans to live with her. Just a wife on paper, tucked away from him elsewhere, summoned when needed for appearances. But everything changed the moment he saw her walking down the aisle. She was perfection. Untouchable. She would be his ruin, his weakness, his obsession, his motivation. His everything. But what if that had been her plan all along? Not everything buried stays dead. Not every identity is what it seems. In a world where saints become monsters and monsters are worshipped like gods, Angeline must decide what's worth saving: her bloodline, her love, or herself. ~ -HEA -18+ -Romance/mystery/thriller -No Cheating/OWD -DARK ROMANCE "OMYGOSH.

The first time Shen Shimian played a game, he was scolded by his teammates. He mustered up the courage to scold back, but he clicked the wrong button and ended up binding a couple relationship. Shen Shimian tapped his toes in embarrassment. His roommate said, "You can pretend to have an online relationship with him, and then ruthlessly abandon him after he falls in love with you. This way, he will cry and live in regret for the rest of his life." He also took out the real case in the post to motivate him. Shen Shimian was amazed by what he saw. He endured humiliation and tried his best to make people like him. He succeeded. The other party was very crazy about him. Shen Shimian, who had been waiting for this moment for a long time, dumped the other party according to the steps in the post. The other party was still asking him why. Shen Shimian sneered, "Do you still remember the game at 5:15 pm on June 14th? You scolded me 18 times in one minute in the game, and there was not a single repeated word." After breaking up with an online lover, before Shen Shimian could live a real life for a few days, he ran into the online lover who had been waiting for a long time downstairs. The online lover is nearly 190cm tall, handsome, and looks exactly like his idol in the e-sports circle. Before Shen Shimian could react, the 190cm online lover pressed his waist and pressed him into a dark corner. There was no one around and it was pitch black. The online lover in front of him was standing tall and strong, with a sinister and cold look in his eyes that was full of danger. Shen Shimian felt that he was probably going to be beaten. As a result, the online lover held his phone and forced him to look up, replaying the screen recording of the 14th frame by frame. The online lover's tone was cold: "Do you understand? Such a bad operation is definitely not possible from me." "Break up? Impossible."
