In a tale as old as time... A forbidden love, family secrets, and fear. Nina receives an offer she can't refuse...

At just seventeen years old she has caught the eye of an elusive rising crime lord who goes by the alias Flex. When she meets Flex, she realizes he's not the boogey man everyone makes him out to be. He's handsome, enigmatic and blunt, yet also generous and even gentle. He sees her in a way that no one ever has before. Nina is soon catapulted into a world of money, drugs, and violence where she realizes that Flex is no boogey man, he's something much worse...

When her family falls on hard times, she is left with nowhere else to turn.

She must marry a man she doesn't love --a man that she fears-- in exchange for a life of luxury for herself and her young sister. It's her choice to make. But no matter what she chooses it will come at a cost.

The Female Warrior by euphotheshyintrovert

"I do not care about what they think. Whom I love and do not love should not concern them. I want you, Amana, and no one else............ Please, just......at least just-" I looked up and batted my eyelashes to stop the tears that were coming together in full force. "Just what, Roland? Just what, exactly?! I don't even love you! I do not know where you got that idea." I heard a sharp intake of breath behind me, and I lowered my head in anger. Anger directed towards myself. I never wanted this to go in that way, but it had to be done. ★★★★★ Amana's life is turned upside down when she is asked by the king to be an escort for his friend's son, Roland. She finds herself going on rollercoasters of emotions she didn't think she would ever ride and uncovers a secret that had been kept from her since birth. They say that when in love, one should be able to sacrifice, but what if the sacrifice is too big? What if, it demands for you to go against everyone else, and be the anomaly in a strange world? Find out in The Female Warrior. ⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪⚫⚪ *:'°Wattpad accomplishments°':* #3 cleanromance #2 Swahili #5 Viscount #4 femalewarrior #24 escort #9 mystique awards #9 buddingromance

Sorrow | 18+ by brocolisoeur

A tale of two sorrowful souls who crossed paths due to a trivial coincidence. His eyes will forever ravish her, his lips will leave eternal marks and one word will haunt her until she dies. She has learnt to be quiet and sweet. He has learnt to dominate and kill. She is trying to find herself from the depths of distray. He is planning to destroy what is needed for power. Falling in love will be too dangerous, too alluring. And in the end it will hurt. Breathing should be effortless, loving should be painless. What does a girl who has learned neither? When you find home in the arms of a killer, to whom you cannot tell your secrets, without risking yourself. And why would you risk anything for a man who believes bullets can fix a broken heart.

"Aesira," he drew out. "Damon." I said his name back. "If you wear this again tomorrow I promise you I won't hesitate to rip it off your body," he said seriously, I couldn't tell if he was joking. "You wouldn't" I narrowed my eyes "Oh but blue... I would" he leaned forward bringing his face closer to mine and his hand drawing along my leg. I bit my lip once again that I was sure it would bleed, "fuck you" I whispered breathlessly. He pulled away so he could look me better in the eyes but still near my face. His lips twitched up into a devilish smirk. "Not yet..." TW: mature language, sexual content, abuse, death/murder, mental illnesses, sexual assault Defiance; bold disobedience Young unemployed Aesira has no idea what is in store for her at her new job. She expects nothing less then good money and nice people, instead Aesira finds herself dealing with Damon Perez- a hard headed, devilishly handsome, playboy who seeks nothing but pleasure-well seeked-he found himself not able to stay away.
