Heather Carlton believes she is a remarkable lady. She had been trained in etiquette since she turned twelve, managed to convince her parents to let her live as she wanted to and she always has a trick up her sleeve. Despite being one of Keydon's two heirs, she was invisible. Always careful to stay out of the public's eye.

Astor Hemingway knows what it is to be a gentleman. He knows what is or isn't proper. And he knows his life's work isn't deemed decent enough as one of the first in line to the throne. But he had worked too hard to throw it all away for the sake of a title.

The Carltons and The Hemingways have spent decades at each other's throats, building a relationship on distrust, paranoia and conspiracy. For generations they had fought and lied, but always with a thin line of respect. A line that was crossed at the sight of a mutilated corpse.

In the chaos of feuds, heirs and the king's sudden death, the kingdom is faced with the news of a dignitary who simply disappeared. Seeking help from her rival, Heather takes it as a chance to escape and search for her missing cousin.

A choice she would regret to make.

"Why-why is he here?" I asked slightly feeling panicked. "Your father, Step- father owes me money. 36 million pounds to be exact." Stefan said as he buttoned his suit and looked at file on the desk. "Well we don't have that kind of money." I said as I furrowed my eyebrows as I looked at my fathers. "They need more time to pay it all off, it is true. I thought they will be able to pay it. So, I gave them five months. The third months can't be paid. They don't even one third of the annual payment. I believe you will a talk about my offer to them very soon." He said as he was walking towards me. "W-Wh-Why?" I asked as he approached me as I looked up at him. He was tall but, I was not very short either. He must be 6 feet but I was 5 feet and 7 inches. With my heels I was 5 feet 10 inches. His intense gaze on me made my chest warm. "You are part of it." The devil said in low voice as he stood next to me. I couldn't move or think for a few moments. His hot breath fell on my neck and it sent a shiver down my spine and make my breath hitch. Stefan Black entered my life. And my life fell into darkness. I am Diana Martin or was. Now, I am Diana Black. I belong to Stefan Black. He owns me. I am leverage, a useless asset to him. If makes my life hard I will make his hell. But, how would I make it work when he has seen worse, done worse. His secrets and past catch up to him. The innocent Diana is between the cross fire. She stands there between K and Stefan. Who will he save? Himself from K's wrath and plans or Diana who fucks up his command every chance she gets. He wants to control her by keeping her in the dark she hates being lied to. She is curious and loves a good fight, pushing his buttons, stepping into the light of truth. With forthcoming danger what are the Black's going to do. Co operate with each other and get along by being allies or staying apart, fighting until death or should one say K comes knocking on their door? Mature Content

He, a double spy, a man as complex as the magic that surrounds him. A Master of Potions and of Dark Arts, and a prisoner of his own past. In the dimly-lit dungeons of Hogwarts, where shadows dance & secrets whisper, stands a man charged with taming the beast hiding within her. His orders, clear. His path, one of no return. And she's the final key to it all. In a world where betrayal & sacrifice twist and turn, a dark tale of deception and desire unfolds under the looming clouds of the wizarding war. The line between friend and foe blurs as a choice must be made. One that will mean the difference between life and death, as the simmering cauldron of forbidden love with its shimmering fumes bewitches the minds, ensnares the senses, teaching them how to bottle pain, brew longing, and even how to put a stopper in death. But in the darkest of times, if anything is possible, then everything is at stake. ✨Word count: 226,854✨ ❗Tags/TWs:❗ Slow Burn, Angst, Age Difference, Hurt/Comfort, Violence, Blood, Death, Past Abuse, Dark, Dark Past, Past Violence, Gentle for SO, Sexual Content, Explicit Sexual Content, Possessive/Protective SO

"I take what I want, princess, no matter what." TRUTH is hidden behind the LIES. Secrets are buried within the secrets. Darkness lurks in the Light and Light breathes in the Darkness. A tale of "BLOOD, SACRIFICES, AND OATH" What will be the outcome when their worlds collide? Will they be each other's salvation or each other's demise? My works are the outcome of my wild and roller-coaster crazy imagination that I nurtured with dedication and great love. Cheap liberalism and unwanted feminism are neither appreciated here nor wanted. So, if you have some self-esteem issues then take it elsewhere because I will report and block every negative comment and commentator. I hold all the rights under my name and by all laws. So think before trying to copy/paste and plagiarism. Cheating doesn't sit well with me and I am not generous with forgiveness. Happy Reading :)
