When you lost the love of your life, how far would you go to get them back? When the one person who meant the world to you betrayed you, would you get your revenge? *** "The thing about rules, Camille, is that they are so easily forgotten. Bent. Put on pause. Broken." "James..." I couldn't tell him to fuck off. I wanted to see what he would do. Fuck me in the board room? My mind was twisted. I wanted it. "Tell me to stop, Miss Alder." The second button was now undone, dangerously close to revealing more of my body to him, "If you're so concerned about rules." His words were right in my ear again, the third button now popping open. "Tell me more about how respectful you are of your rules, baby...I want to hear you say no." James smelled so fucking good, like always, just like I remembered. "Tell me, Camille." He encouraged once he caught my gaze, but didn't take it any further. "Tell me to stop. And I'll stop." A heavy silence ticked by and I knew that I lost the game.

The Cruel King
°●•He Wants Her and She Hates Him, Destiny Loves Them●°• Evelyn Smith has always lived in the shadows-soft-spoken, sweet, and invisible. But when fate thrusts her into the world of Hayden Lopez-the city's most feared billionaire with a cruel smile and bloodstained hands-her quiet world shatters. Handsome, Ruthless, and Dangerously untouchable, Hayden rules his world with blood and control. He doesn't chase. He takes. And the moment he saw Evelyn-soft, innocent,-he decided. Stripped her of freedom, wrapped her in silk, and locked her in his mansion like a precious, untouchable secret. But Evelyn wasn't as fragile as she looked. And Hayden? He wasn't ready for the war between her tears and his obsession. Because every time she defies him, he falls harder. Every time she tries to run, he pulls her closer. And the more she hates him, the more he wants to break her... She would belong to him. Even if it meant stealing her away from everything she's ever known. Held captive in a mansion that looks like paradise but feels like a cage, Evelyn swears she'll never break. But Hayden isn't just a man. He's an obsession. A storm in a tailored suit. And the deeper she sinks into his darkness, the harder it becomes to remember who she was before him. Some stories were never meant to be gentle. Some were written in blood, bruised lips, and whispered lies. And some kings don't need crowns- They just need someone soft to ruin. Because she was his from the moment he saw her. She's the light he wants to own. Even if it means dragging her into his darkness. Dive in, Love.. you're about to get obsessed >>Complete
Obsession.
If you like fantasy/romance you should try my story The Flower Longed Death. It is written a LOT better than this one is! -------------------------- "You must've got the wrong impression if you keep expecting to get away with shit like this, so let me make things clear," He says with a calm smile. He moves his face closer to mine, losing the lighthearted grin that had previously cooled my nerves. I get a better look at the scar across the bridge of his nose, and the vague one X'ed onto his lips. Now I want them even more. -------------------------- Eighteen year old Mileva never thought her past would catch up to her after leaving years ago to live in New York City. She didn't think she wanted it to. However, she also didn't think she would cross paths with a guy like Valen, the Italian Mafia's heir. He's only twenty three, but he's somehow the most attractive and intimidating man she has ever met, let alone heard of. Mileva battles her anxiety adjusting to this new life of hers, while Valen is just getting comfortable with his new obsession. -------------------------- Word count: 110,000 There is a lot of graphic content, so please read carefully! List of specific warnings can be found in the introduction. The writing gets better as the story progresses, I promise.Complete

This is book two in the Lost&Found Series but can be read as a stand alone. *** I heard the bag drop on the table before he grabbed my elbow and spun me around. His hand cupped my chin as he made me look in his eyes. "So much anger, piccola raggazza." he said as his eyes darted back and forth between mine. My lips parted as I looked in his grey orbs which he inherited from his father. Sharp, defined jaw and pointy noise with his upper lip thin and bottom, thick. "I'm not angry at you. Your presence and absence are of little importance to me." I stated and looked away. "You grew up in my arms, I know you like the back of my hand." he told as his thumb applied pressure on my jaw to tilt my face towards his. I blinked and looked at him blankly not wanting to give away the fact that I was literally melting in his arms like a puddle. "You're not worthy of my any emotion or feeling. You're mistaken if you think I care." I stated in a matter of factly tone. *** Returning home after four years, Sylvia Mancini will encounter a lot more than she has anticipated.
