𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗹 & 𝗛𝗶𝘀 𝗧𝗲𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗼 'Poor little soul.' A pure, innocent soul forced to face the harsh realities they said. A soul that was led down the path of darkness, One that was bent and made to be other's nightmare, only to end up deemed nature's lost cause. How tragic, right? Wrong. Because this, this is not nearly as simple. You see, mostly, if not always, the only real difference between a hero and a villain is a matter of perspective- WHO is telling the story. But not in his case. What if he really embodies the epitome of a real-life villain, instilling terror in the hearts of all those who cross his path, or even hear whispers of his name? What if he's a wicked man who ceaselessly gets whatever his icy heart craves? A monster who seeks power more than salvation, A nightmare who believes vengeance is unerring. A killing machine, devoid of heart or soul, let alone a pure one. Damien, they call him, His name whispered with terror and fear, Because Damien is not an ordinary man, but a man who clawed his way out from the depths of hell. One who's driven by a relentless pursuit of the very thing that threatens to bring downfall to the world we know. He is the reigning terror among monsters, holding dominion over the dark underworld of New York City, Even with his true identity hidden from the prying eyes of all. Damien is no ordinary man. But he is the Devil. So what happens when an angel meets the devil? When a naive runaway escapes one demon, only to find herself in the clutches of the worst of them all? ⊱ ʚɞ ⊰ ~𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗠𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗮 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 ~𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝗼 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 ~𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲 ~𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘅𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 Complete✔️

FATED, NOT FOREVER. by p_r_e_ci_o_u_s

Aria Sinclair never wanted an arranged marriage, least of all to Damien Laurent-the cold, distant heir to a business empire. She sees him as nothing more than another cage built around her life, while he views their union as a duty, not a desire. Yet, as they navigate their forced partnership, stolen moments and unexpected tenderness begin to unravel the walls between them. Love blooms where it was never meant to, turning what was once an obligation into something real. But when Damien's past resurfaces, and family expectations demand sacrifices, they are forced to confront the painful truth: some love stories are never meant to last. Love vs Duty, Fate vs Choice, Letting go vs Holding on.

No More Nice Girl (r4r) by everiixu

Raven was the girl everyone underestimated-a people-pleaser with a heart too soft for her own good. No one exploited that more than Damien, her first and only crush. But when Damien crushes her heart in the cruelest way, the girl she once was dies, leaving nothing but a stone-cold shell in her place. Then she's taken. A organization gives her an impossible choice: become a weapon forged in blood and shadows, or die. Raven doesn't just survive-she thrives, becoming one of the deadliest assassins they've ever trained. Years later, her latest mission drags her back to the town she swore she'd never see again-and right into the orbit of the people who ruined her. Including Damien. But the Raven they knew is gone. This Raven is lethal, unrecognizable, and unrelenting. Damien might try to reach her heart, but what happens if he's the one who ends up in her crosshairs? In a game of betrayal, love, and revenge, one question remains: will Raven finish what she started, or will her past be the death of them both? One's thing for certain: no more nice girl

Irresistible Sin... by Aynahha

Eva never thought her father's decision to send her to live with her uncle Damien for college would turn her world upside down. The distance from home seemed ideal at first-until she stepped into Damien's house and realized how dangerously close she would be to the one man who had always been a constant in her life. Damien, a successful and charismatic businessman, has always seen Eva as family-but that was before she grew into a stunning, independent woman. Now, every glance, every touch between them feels charged with an electric tension neither can deny. Forbidden desire simmers beneath the surface, threatening to consume them both. As the days pass, their attraction intensifies in ways that neither can control. What starts with heated glances and lingering moments quickly escalates into something far more dangerous. Torn between guilt and longing, they find themselves unable to resist the burning desire pulling them closer. Each stolen moment feels like a sin, but it's one they can't walk away from. Caught in a web of passion, secrecy, and a love that defies everything they've ever known, Eva and Damien must face the inevitable question: Can they fight the pull of their irresistible desire, or will they surrender to it, no matter the cost?
