Two-paragraph-Blurb:
In an Empire where worth is judged on strength, crippled and homeless Coward risks a beating every time he leaves his hiding place. He is an embarrassment to the Naghlas, and others of his kind will remind him of his worthlessness every chance they get – even if that admonishment borders being lethal.
Then Coward is caught stealing food and prepares for death… until the Sazi of Zhinda – a legend among his own people – steps forward and saves him. Now Coward finds himself bound to serve the Sazi, and is brought unprepared into high-stakes Palace life. But Empire politics share more with street-survival than he could imagine. Can Coward use his survivor’s instinct to brave a cross-continent diplomatic journey, or will his innate cowardice overcome him and doom the expedition, the Empire… and, worst of all, his savior?
One sentence Blurb:
The Empress ran out of chocolate, and the MC and his boss have to go negotiate for more.

Made For Me
Aaron Russo - Don of the Russo mafia. "To kill or be killed" He had many women in his life but the one thing he didn't do was love or relationships. He said it was a weakness, something people can exploit and hold against you, something he can't have being the head of the mafia. His main objectives are making money, killing traitors and over powering every other mob. That's until he laid eyes on her. Aaron Russo may not do love or relationships, but he knew she was going to be his. She was made for him. Florence Stan - First year uni student. Finally away from strict parents and boyfriend. Studying, making friends and partying is on her agenda for the next three years while she stays in accommodation. She wanted to see what she'd been missing over the years when her father wouldn't allow her to go out, that's untill she ends up at the wrong club at the wrong time. His club. Little did she know the "freedom" she thought she'd just gained would disappear once again. She would no longer be her father's property but his. •• "Well you didn't think I'd just sit here, accept your deal and fall at your knees begging for you to be with me forever, did you?" I smile at her causing her smile to drop. "Don't answer that, you proved you were a freak when you kidnapped me. Anyways, since I have lived with my father for 18 years, I know what men like you and him are like, there's no way for me to get out of this. So, for the next two years I will do everything to make you hate me, I will make you wish you never brought me into your life. By time It gets to the end you will be begging my father to take me back." I slowly get up and walk around the table till I'm right in front of her. Her breathing hitches as I sit on the desk with my hands on my knees, bent down inches away from her face "Princess, I don't beg, the only person who will be begging is you when you want me to fuck that sweet little pussy of yours. Don't make empty threats againComplete
Empire of Glass
Fierce, independent, and sharp-witted, Saanvi Mehra was never the girl waiting to be rescued, until life shoved her off the ledge. Raised by a decorated army officer and a soft-spoken mother, she was once full of laughter, trust in the system, and dreams laid out with quiet hope. People like her believed life would unfold gently, with purpose and stability. But fate doesn't wait for dreams. When tragedy strikes, Saanvi learns the meaning of hard work the brutal way. Kindness doesn't pay hospital bills. Dreams won't feed your family. Thrust into survival mode, she juggles grief, debt, and the weight of an entire household-working double shifts, hiding secrets, clawing her way through a world where the power sits with the rich. Years later, when things get rougher and options run thin, she crosses paths with someone she never expected-a man shaped by power, distanced by privilege, and tied to a life she could never afford to imagine. He sits at the top of an empire. And she's just trying to make it through the month. Ishaan Oberoi was born to power and raised to lead. From the moment he could walk, he was groomed to carry a legacy heavier than most could imagine. Harvard-educated, polished, and razor-sharp, he moves through billion-rupee deals and boardrooms with calculated precision, untouchable, unshaken, and unyielding. Failure was never an option, but life has a strange way of throwing curveballs. Ishaan is the perfect heir to the Oberoi empire, until he isn't. In the rush and haze of relentless ambition, mishaps slip through the cracks, and for the first time, his abilities are questioned. Respected and feared, he's the embodiment of success on paper, yet beneath the surface lies a man grappling with cracks in his perfect facade. Expectations grow heavier, and when even the strongest lash out, the universe lashes back. Only this time, it's someone just as strong, someone who might be the equal he never knew he needed.![The Beast's Possession [ON GOING...]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/235933272-256-k608719.jpg)
The Beast's Possession [ON GOING...]
Alizey Tariq. Eighteen years old. The light of every room she walked into. The daughter every parent dreamed of, the sister every brother bragged about, and the friend everyone wished they had. Sweet. Innocent. Untouched by the dark realities of the world, living a life surrounded by love, laughter, and the kind of naivety that made her glow like a star in a moonless sky. She thought she knew what life was. She had no idea her real story was just about to begin. Khizer Shahid. Thirty years old. A man feared by many and loved by none. CEO by day, Mafia king by night. The world bowed to him - businessmen, politicians, criminals - yet he stood utterly alone, untouched by affection, incapable of tenderness. Life had carved him from stone, heartless and merciless, after a childhood drenched in blood and betrayal. At least, that's what he believed. Khizer wasn't looking for love. He didn't even believe he deserved it. But fate - cruel, merciless fate - had other plans. --- It started with a simple favor. Pick up his best friend's little sister from her university. A girl he hadn't even met before. A favor that would shatter everything he thought he knew about control, about power, about who he was. Because when Khizer Shahid's eyes landed on Alizey Tariq for the first time, it wasn't curiosity he felt. It wasn't interest. It was possession. Pure, primal, undeniable. In that single moment, he decided: She would be his. No matter what it took. By hook or by crook. By love or by hatred. He would tear down the world to have her, and God help anyone who stood in his way. When the cold-hearted beast finds himself bound to a childlike beauty... When complaints turn into pleas, When pain turns into an addiction, When hatred threatens to destroy what little love they have built, When the past refuses to stay buried, When the cost of loyalty is betrayal... Will he be able to hold onto her? Or will he lose the only salvation he ever had? *****
