But Roman has one problem. He doesn't believe he deserves love. And the enemies who want him back in the game just found the perfect leverage. Her. Dark romance. Protective antihero.

"I didn't hire him to protect my body. I hired him because I couldn't survive another night alone." Azalea- I had everything money could offer. But the nights were still too long, and the silence too loud. They say grief fades. It doesn't. It lingers-quiet and cold. Haunted by my past and desperate not to be alone, I hired Alek: a cold, ex-military bodyguard with scars deeper than his silence. He doesn't speak much. He doesn't smile. But he listens. He stays. I didn't expect the man behind the silence to feel like home. And that was enough... until it wasn't. Until I started getting greedy. Alek- I've seen war. Death. Hell on Earth. But nothing wrecked me like the soft-eyed girl who looked at me like I wasn't broken. I told myself I'd keep it professional. She was just another job. But the truth? I never stood a chance. The more I watched her quietly carry the weight of the world- The more I wanted to carry it with her. Azalea is the kind of light you don't touch when you've lived too long in the dark. But every time she looked at me... it felt like maybe I didn't have to stay there. It's not the danger that gets to me. It's the way she carries it-quiet, alone, like I'm not standing right here. Like she already knows something I don't. [On Hiatus]

As secrets unravel and danger moves closer, Adriano realizes he doesn't just want answers-he wants to protect the very thief who almost took him down.

Contemporary Love | Written by MrsMolinaaa My heart grew heavy and a tinge sorrowful whenever I heard the word love. Conflicting emotions surged within me-hope and doubt intertwined-since the loss of several cherished loved ones had left their mark. The concept of love no longer resonated the same way it once did. "I don't believe in love," I confessed quietly. He responded almost instinctively, his voice gentle yet confident, "You do." I rolled my eyes, wary of his certainty. "How could you possibly know that?" He looked at me with an understanding smile, his eyes warm and wise. "Because you romanticize life itself. I believe you do believe in love and desire to be loved. But because of those who hurt you before, you've closed off that part of yourself-the part that yearns to give and receive love." His words made my vulnerability surface, yet I appreciated his honesty. He had a rare gift for reading people's depths. --------------------------------------- Vera had long given up on finding love. After many failed attempts to discover "The One," she poured all her energy into her career and furthering her education. Men became an afterthought, a distant echo of something she no longer believed in. It was a tough choice, but her unwavering determination kept her afloat. That is, until she met her intriguing new neighbor, whose presence slowly rekindled that tender, hesitating hope within her.
