Torn Secrets by Artirsic

UNDERGOING HEAVY EDITING!! " He was her enemy. She was his weapon. But somewhere in the wreckage, they became each other's ruin. " The only rule of survival? Never trust a monster. Zahra Cordero knows this better than anyone. Burdened by a bloody past and a failed mission that left her imprisoned in a forgotten orphanage, she's spent years carving herself into a ghost. No one knew where the children went. No one dared to find them. Until she escapes. But freedom comes at a brutal price. Leo Colton-ruthless, powerful, feared-hunts monsters like her for sport. His empire, Leviathan, is a criminal empire soaked in blood and secrets. Leo wants one thing: revenge. And when Zahra falls into his hands, he sees more than just a broken girl. He needs a weapon. She needs an escape. Dragged into a brutal contract where her loyalty is the currency, Zahra must play Leo's game while hiding her true identity. But as danger closes in, so does he-stalking her mind, tangling in her veins, making her forget that he's the real enemy. Secrets fester. Obsession ignites. And in a world ruled by violence, the deadliest thing between them isn't hatred- It's desire. If she gives in, she loses everything. If he lets her go, he loses the war. Because in the end... It's not betrayal that will destroy them. It's love.
