"The Mob Boss and His Enemy's Daughter" Natalia Gambino was raised to obey. As the daughter of Vito Gambino-the most feared mob boss in the world-every part of her life was his to control. Her clothes. Her hair. Even the man she'd marry. That man was Luca Castellano, her father's most trusted ally and underboss. Every time she looked at him, disgust twisted in her stomach. It was never supposed to be him. He'd only been obsessed with her long before she was old enough to understand it. But obedience had never been a choice-only a rule. Then, at her own wedding reception, a man with blood on his cufflinks and a smile that didn't belong in a church... storms in with guns blazing and a threat that shatters everything she thought she knew. Is this finally her chance to escape the man who's owned her life? ...Or is she just trading one master for another? ---- "Look at you..." he murmured, his breath warm against my neck. My body betrayed me, trembling as his hand traced lower, slow and deliberate. "...never forget who you belong to, Natalia." I swallowed, my voice barely a whisper. "I won't." His grip tightened, his voice dropping into something darker. I hated the way my body reacted to him-like it didn't remember fear. He leaned back, unfazed, a slow smirk pulling at his mouth. "Then prove it." ---- - book 2 of "The Prodigy" series (can be read as a standalone)

He's not a girl. But everyone thinks he is. To hold things together, he lets them believe it-one compromise at a time, until there's nothing left to protect. Ashe Tran woke in a white cube. No windows. No answers. Just the clothes on his back. One day he's a barista with a crush and overdue rent; the next, he's a captive inside a system that monetizes compliance and punishes selfhood. Every task costs credits, every indulgence has consequences, and the line between choice and coercion grows thinner with each passing day. To survive, Ashe must navigate the watchers behind the walls, the rules that rewrite his body, and the creeping realization that the Cube isn't just testing his endurance-it's rewriting who he is. A slow-burn descent into voyeurism, control, and forced identity performance-a story about shame, survival, and what happens when your body becomes the price of survival.

Proud to say What Was Held made the short list in The Original Muse Awards! I'm Liliah. Sixteen, almost seventeen. I hate being me. Why? Ten reasons: 1.

I'm failing the person I love most: my six-year-old sister, Forsythia. 5. I don't know who I am... or why I'm here. 6. I attacked the worst boy in town - now I'm hated, and he's still worshipped. 7. My vice? It's leaving scars. 8. My mental health? Apparently I belong in a psych ward, ask Oriella. 9. Bexmoore was meant to be a fresh start. It wasn't. 10.

Maybe telling my story means someone else won't feel like this. Before it's too late.

She can read everyone except the man she loves. Nafisa thought one bad night would end by morning. Instead, it ends with locked doors, a psychiatric ward, and the realization that the man she loves may have helped put her there. Over nine days inside, she meets people she never expected to understand-an eerily familiar roommate who hears the dead, a brilliant stranger named William who seems to understand her mind too well, and a collection of patients and nurses who slowly make the most unsafe place in her life feel strangely safe. Nafisa has always been good at reading people. Too good. She notices what others miss. She knows things no one has told her. And the longer she stays, the harder it becomes to dismiss everything as intuition. Outside the walls is Jason: her fiancé, her history, and the person she is no longer sure she can trust. Inside is William: everything Jason is not, and everything she never realized she was missing. Somewhere between love, betrayal, instinct, and something far more supernatural, Nafisa begins to question who she is when she stops living for everyone else. And then there is the letter. The one she never read. The one that changed everything.

A school trip meant to feel like freedom quickly becomes something else entirely. Rules are recited, smiles are practiced, and a five-star hotel looms like it's watching rather than welcoming. As the bus rolls closer, one student observes the cracks beneath the luxury - rotting systems, empty promises, and classmates who believe consequences don't apply to them. When Nisha's phone battery dies before they even arrive, it becomes clear: Rules only matter until they don't. And everyone assumes the next step is guaranteed... until it isn't.

People who seem to have nothing to do with one another. Yet between them are things better left unsaid.

This is a story of three girls, Laylah, Sophia, and me. We thought we understood the world we lived in, the quiet routines, the familiar streets, the kind of life where danger feels distant... like something that happens on TV or to other people. Until it happened to us. What begins as a disappearance becomes something far more disturbing when we are taken into a place where control is precise, silence is enforced, and pain is not just inflicted...it is studied. This is not just a story of kidnapping. It is a story of being watched, shaped, and slowly turned into something unrecognizable. A story where art is no longer beauty...but a weapon. Where every brushstroke carries meaning, and every canvas hides something darker than imagination. Inside that world, we begin to change, Laylah fights to hold on to who she is, Sophia begins to slip under the weight of it all, and I... I start to understand things I was never meant to. Things that make survival possible, but at a cost, because the longer you stay inside darkness, the more it begins to look like something you can live with. This is not just a story of three girls who were taken. This is a story of what was done to us...and what we became after...beyond silence, beyond the brushstroke. The Brush is indeed a menace.

The room was quiet except for the faint sound of rain tapping against the window. Outside, the streetlights had already come on, their pale glow stretching across the wet pavement. For a few seconds, neither of us spoke. Then I looked back at her. "You really want to know?" Her smile faded slightly. "Yeah." I lowered my eyes. There were some things you could explain in a sentence. There were others that took years. Mine had taken almost everything I had. I had spent a long time convincing myself that the past didn't matter anymore. That whatever happened back then was finished. That people left, people changed, and sometimes you simply had to accept it. But the truth was much worse. Some things don't stay in the past. They follow you.
