Backstory: Adrian Vale was born into wealth - the kind that comes with power, respect, and danger. The Vale name carries weight, tied to an empire built on generations of business...and the darker world beneath it. To outsiders, Adrian is everything they envy: charm, fortune, legacy. But behind the tailored suits and expensive watches is a man who wants none of it. Music is his only escape - the piano, the only place he can breathe. In the Vale household, though, passion isn't purpose. His father made that clear: a man's worth comes from numbers, not melodies. When his father dies, Adrian inherits everything he never wanted - the money, the power, the loneliness. Every smile feels fake. Every date, a transaction. So now he tests people, playing the part they expect: the rich bachelor who can buy anyone's affection. Most fall for it. Until Rowan. Rowan Hart grew up in a house that was always one paycheck away from falling apart.Her mother works double shifts, her sister juggles school, and Rowan takes care of her ailing grandfather. Writing was her escape - a way to make sense of the chaos. Then, one night, her words reached someone. One story went viral, and suddenly, Rowan Hart was a name people knew. But success didn't change her heart. She still lives in the same small house, still worries about bills and hospital visits. She's learned that love and honesty mean more than money ever could. When Adrian Vale walks into her life - charming, distant, and too polished to be real and she sees something beneath the surface. Loneliness. The same kind she's written about for years. And maybe, just maybe, the stories she writes aren't just meant to heal her anymore. Maybe what's she's been writing was manifesting him to her.
Only Once

Alex Rayden is a billionaire known for his icy stare, ruthless decisions, and impenetrable walls. Haunted by a past that taught him love is a weakness, he's built an empire where control is survival and emotions are liabilities. To the world, he's untouchable. To himself, he's unworthy. Valerie Dawson is everything he is not. Compassionate, resilient, and endlessly kind, she spends her days healing others while hiding her own wounds. After surviving an abusive relationship, Valerie still dares to dream of a love that's safe, deep, and real. When fate throws Alex and Valerie into each other's lives, sparks fly and so do the demons they have both tried to bury.

The Light of you
Vera Rue is a ghost in her own life, vanishing between cash gigs, fake names, and camera lenses sharp enough to keep the world at a distance. Her ex, Julian, was a master of quiet cruelty, gaslight in a designer suit and even now, his messages still slip through the cracks. But the man who finds her at a velvet-masked party isn't Julian. He's watching. Closer. Smarter. Hungrier. What begins as a blurred figure in the background of a photo spirals into a game of psychological cat-and-mouse, where intimacy becomes invasion, and survival means learning to see in the dark. She thought she knew fear. But this isn't fear. It's obsession with a pulse. And it has her name.

What does it take to push someone... Over The Edge?Complete
Beneath His Pen
Somewhere between longing and lunacy, he found her. Not in a dream. Not in a poem. But in the corner of a café, alone with a book and the kind of silence only broken souls understand. She didn't look at him. Not even once. And maybe that's why his fingers trembled around the pen for the first time in years. Lyra Selena. He didn't know her name yet. But he would. Oh, he would. Because Lucien Vale didn't write for the world anymore. He wrote for her. About her. To her. And if the ink bled too deep-if obsession laced the edges of every verse- then so be it. The world called him a genius. She would call him something else entirely. --- "Tell me, little muse ..." "Will you run before the story ends?" ---Complete
