Maybe, There is a Happy Ending by melina_strangio

Her Daddy | COMPLETED| by danidiara_10

A girl who loved the quiet rhythm of working at her café and cherished the laughter she shared with her best friend never imagined her life would change so drastically. But then she met him. Nathan Gundy-his name was a whisper that stirred curiosity, but it was his piercing blue eyes that truly unsettled her. They seemed to hold a storm, a mix of pain and intensity that left her breathless and yearning to understand him. She didn't know then that behind those eyes was a man shrouded in danger and shadows, a man she should have feared. Nathan's life had been consumed by power and control. Love wasn't something he sought-or believed he could feel again. Yet the moment he saw Olivia, the girl with an innocent smile and kind heart, his world shifted. She wasn't just a passing interest; she became an obsession. Every stolen glance, every moment she laughed, only deepened his need for her. He wanted her not just as a fleeting desire but as his queen-a woman to stand beside him in a life built on secrets and bloodshed. But Olivia was blissfully unaware of who Nathan truly was. To her, he was the man who made her heart race, her first love-a love she had always dreamed would be pure and everlasting. But something about Nathan felt different, almost dangerous. His gaze lingered too long, his touch was too possessive, and his presence always seemed to carry a weight she couldn't place. What would she do when the truth came to light? When she learned that Nathan Gundy-the man who had claimed her heart-was not just a man but the ruthless Italian mafia boss feared by all? Her love for him was sacred, but it would come at a cost. Every moment she spent with him was like walking through a garden of deadly roses, where beauty masked the sharpest of thorns. Could she hold on to him, or would his world destroy her? yes! it's dangerous that's why it's fun Copyright ©️ 2024 danidiara_10 ©️ All rights reserved

A Touch of Heaven, A Taste of Sin by CloudDestinyAtlas

∆ For centuries, I observed humanity from the shadows - detached, eternal, unwavering in my purpose. Every contract I fulfilled brought a sense of completion, reinforcing the essence of my existence. Life unfolded in a rhythm I had long accepted: steady, predictable, untouched by emotion. Until you appeared. Your presence shattered the stillness of my world like a sudden tremor beneath ancient stone. From the moment you stepped into my path, something shifted - light spilled into corners I'd forgotten existed, and with it, the vivid hues of forgotten feeling. You, with your quiet defiance and magnetic pull, unsettled something I had buried deep. In your presence, emotions long entombed stirred - wild, chaotic, alive. Like a storm breaking over calm waters, you roused in me a fire I didn't know still burned. My composure cracked. My certainty unraveled. Each encounter left an imprint. A spark. A mark I could not erase. Slowly, unknowingly, a bond formed - fragile, yet undeniable. And with each breath you took beside me, I felt something I hadn't in centuries: I felt alive. Not because of purpose. Not because of duty. But because of you. ∆ --- 🔴⚠️🔴 WARNING: 🖤This story contains mature themes including strong language, sexual content, death, religious references, and other sensitive material.
