Maya applied pressure to my wound. I hissed from the pain. "Stop fucking around." She rolled her eyes at me. Maya finished tending my wound, wrapping it with a bandage. As she got up to put the first aid away, I stopped her. My thumb rubbed against the cool skin of her hand. I pulled her to sit on my lap. My fingers ran through her hair. "You're doing it again." I ignored her, sinking my chin into her shoulder. "I have no idea what you're talking about." I placed small pecks on neck. Her breathing turning heavy. "Stop. Someone could walk in." "And? You think they want to watch? Shit, I would." _____________________________________ ~Maya Castillo~ Escaping her traumatic past, Maya and her brother, Santiago, run to New York.

The Veil Of Vengeance by Aduwrites
27 parts Ongoing Mature
"𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗚𝗘 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗘𝗦𝗜𝗥𝗘" In a game where revenge fuels every step, desire becomes the most dangerous weapon. In a world where power, pride, and revenge reign supreme, two sworn enemies find themselves entangled in a dangerous game of love and hate. 𝐒𝐇𝐔𝐁𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐆𝐈𝐋𝐋 and 𝐒𝐀𝐑𝐀 𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐃𝐔𝐋𝐊𝐀𝐑 come from rival families, each with a deep-rooted vendetta that stretches back generations. Both have their own reasons for seeking vengeance, both have their own scars to heal-and both are willing to go to any lengths to cross paths with each other. They say there's a thin line between love and hate. What happens when two enemies, driven by revenge, decide to walk that line? When a relationship becomes their weapon, and desire becomes their greatest weakness? This is not a love story. This is a story filled with mysteries, desire, cruelty, heartbreaks, and dark romance-a twisted dance where one wrong move could lead to their destruction. Will their desire for revenge blind them to the possibility of love? Or will the passion between them force them to confront their deepest fears and darkest secrets? Will they ever be able to forget their hatred and see each other for who they really are? In this story of 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 and 𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗿𝗲, both will have to make a choice: to continue down the path of destruction or to risk everything for a chance at something real. 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙙 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙤 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙩....

"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage. Unfortunately for her, ruthless and cunning 26 year old Mafia leader and billionaire Tristan Black had other plans for her. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to kidnap her and finally make her his queen after 2 years of watching and stalking her every move. He'd kill anyone who gets in the way of getting what he wants. What will happen when he ruins everything she wanted and forces her to marry him? Will she escape and resist him? Or will she submit and accept her fate?
