In the gloomy town of Deathmoure, located amidst misty landscapes, people possessed an unusual trait - they couldn't inflict death on anyone, including themselves. It was a pacifist's dark utopia but for my grieving heart of a white widow, it was a prison - a sanctuary of despair.

Needing a path out of this grief-stricken existence, I began my search for a reaper who could aid in my departure.

With the newly arrived reaper, broad-shouldered with a charismatic, sly charm that was hard to withstand, I found myself engulfed in a bizarre investigation. Mysterious events began occurring within our rainy town, pointing indirectly toward my mysterious reaper.

Amidst this chaos, an unlikely sentiment blossomed within me - love.

As the investigation deepened, so did the connection between me and my reaper. It was an unexpected twist, a cosmic joke. I was no longer an icy fortress but a hopeful woman, falling in love with the man who was uncovering the darkest secrets of the people around me. The fighting spirit dormant for so many years in me, now roared to life.

The Mafia's Mercy by Laisha_Gardner
11 parts Complete Mature
The darkness in his eyes, the dangerous smell of alcohol in his breath, and his deathly grip keeping me bound to him made my heart pound in my chest and my body quiver beneath him. Shamefully, it wasn't anything that I wasn't used to, because...the things I let him do to me? When he was frustrated, annoyed, and angry at the world, I was here to be his pound of flesh. In return, he masked the void of my loneliness because for months, that was the transaction of our relationship. He'd pin me to the wall, bend me over the counter, pull my hair, slap me, choke me, and I enjoyed every second of it because in that moment, it finally felt good to be powerless. Irony is a funny thing. I enjoyed being in pain because it made me forget how much I was hurting. *** "I warned you, doll." His voice strikes a string of chills down the base of my spine, a reminder that all of the time in the world could pass, and he's still not letting go. This is where the good girl in me dies. "You're mine now," he whispers. *** My name is Mercy-Mercy Carter. I went to college. Got myself a useless Bachelor of Science in Mathematics degree. His name is Marcel-Marcello Saldívar. However, at the time, I didn't know that he, the heir to the Saldívar Mafia empire, was the man that I had blindly offered myself to. As smart as I am, I was stupid all the times when it actually mattered. After all, he did warn me that he was dangerous. I just didn't think he could be much worse than my thug of a brother. I was vulnerable-naive. My name is Mercy, and I belong to him. My name is Mercy, and I am The Mafia's Mercy. ⚠️ Content Advisory: This is a DARK Romance novel, in every sense of the word.

Preview 1: "Um...uh..." he struggled with his words, so I met eyes with him to see if I could read his emotions. "I, um, I have to tell you something." "What is it?"

"Faith...we...she..." ****************************************************** Azias and Sapphire finally reunite after a year of not seeing each other.

"Okay," I obediently replied before walking to the bed and sitting at the edge. I had my legs crossed as if I was waiting for whatever discipline I would be receiving. "You didn't answer my question, by the way..." He remained quiet as he slowly laid me down, so I repeated, "What about-" Shhheeeeekkkkk. He... He literally ripped my panties off... "You wanna ask again?" he asked, his voice getting raspier by the second. ******************************************************

"In her, I found redemption and ruin, a paradox of salvation and damnation intertwined. Entranced by her lethal allure, I willingly embraced the darkness, offering my soul as tribute to her malevolent grace. Bound by chains of devotion, I surrendered to her will, consumed by a love that knew no bounds, even in the face of oblivion."- Cyrus Calixto "In the depths of my tormented soul, I grapples with the demons of my past, striving for redemption amidst the echoes of my sins. Yet, in the twisted dance of fate, I finds myself ensnared by forbidden love, a beacon of light in my desolate existence, even as I denies its consuming allure."- Aaliyah Lyra. . . "In the labyrinth of desire, I wield charm as a weapon, masking the ache of a heart tethered to a love I can never possess. Behind every smile lies the shadows of manipulation, veiling the torment of a soul entangled in the web of unattainable longing."-Zene Kylon. . "In my silent screams, I echoes the tragedy of a soul selling fragments of myself, chasing the illusion of affection from hollow eyes, while drowning in the relentless abyss of a love never truly mine."-Diana Maertisa. . . "In the shadows of manipulation, truth becomes a mere pawn in the game of power, where deception reigns as king and morality is but a forgotten whisper in the abyss of human ambition." . . "In the aftermath of love's tragic end, amidst the wreckage of shattered dreams, there lingers a bittersweet beauty. For even in the depths of despair, our hearts are intertwined with memories of cute freedoms and lovely moments shared. Though one may harbor resentment, and the other may bear the scars of hate, the essence of our love endures, a fragile yet enduring thread that binds us together, even beyond the final act of love's poignant tragedy." "Love?' "yes love. I am here." "release me Fucker." "God should not abandon those who worship faithfully love." "I am no GOD." "You are in my eyes love. Stop fooling yourself." || WARNING ||
The Devil's Crybaby  by Alywinter
56 parts Ongoing Mature
She was ordinary. Fragile. Timid. The kind of girl who flinched at loud voices, hid behind her hands, and spent her days wrapped in the comfort of quiet dreams and the gentle embrace of nature. Life was safe. Predictable. Until it wasn't. One night, everything shattered. A man with cold, unfeeling eyes and blood on his hands came for her. Dragged her from her bed at midnight. Pulled her into a world she didn't understand. A stranger, merciless and silent, became her captor. And he wouldn't explain why. He was everything she feared. Brutal. Unforgiving. Dark in a way that made the air around him feel sharp. He lived only for one person. His brother, a man who had lost an eye because of him, a debt he carried like a curse. And the reason she was here? That brother had seen her at a wedding. Whispers of desire had crossed the wrong ears, and in that instant, her life was stolen without question. She begged. Pleaded. Tried to understand. He remained cold, unyielding, untouchable. And in her confusion, she convinced herself of a story that wasn't true: that he must love her. That beneath the rough edges, the anger, the cruelty, there was a man capable of tenderness. She fell for him. Hopelessly. Recklessly. Entirely. She followed him, confessed to him, clung to the faintest glimpses of softness she thought she saw. Every protective gesture, every glance of anger, every violent act she witnessed, she misread them all as love. But she was wrong. She was never meant to be his. She was a gift. A possession to be delivered to someone else. And by the time the truth claws through her illusions, her heart has already been claimed by the wrong man. Two brothers. One woman. And in the shadowed corners of their world, where darkness is law and nightmares are real, the game of obsession, and forbidden love begins.
