Raised in a world of crime and power, she's spent her life fighting-never bending, never breaking. No man can tame her. No man is worth the risk of surrender. Until him.

From the moment their eyes lock, it's a war of wills, a collision of fire and ice. She is his greatest weakness. He is her most terrifying addiction. But in a world where bloodlines are currency and power is everything, secrets lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike. An unknown enemy watches. Betrayal is inevitable.

Tangled Hearts ||KTH|| by pranu1185

In a world where love twists into obsession and loyalty battles betrayal, four lives collide in a haunting dance of secrets, power, and desire. When hearts are bound by shadows and every promise is laced with deceit, the line between passion and possession blurs. In this tale of dark romance, one woman's sacrifice and another's broken heart spark a descent into a love that knows no mercy-and revenge that knows no end. He is the untouchable, the heir, the one who holds every heart in his cold, unyielding grip. She is the quiet observer, the girl who hides her feelings in the shadows-until he makes her sister his pawn in a cruel game of deceit. When love becomes a weapon and trust a distant memory, the lives of three young souls spiral into a web of seduction, obsession, and vengeance. A forbidden marriage binds two enemies in a twisted embrace, but hatred is only a spark waiting to ignite. He wants control; she wants freedom. Yet, as their lives intertwine in a dangerous dance, desire takes root in places neither of them expect. But shadows lurk in every corner, and buried truths threaten to shatter even the strongest heart. Can anyone survive a love that devours, a betrayal that cuts deeper than any wound, and a revenge that knows no bounds? How far would you go to keep what you can't bear to lose?

My Shadow Stalker by marsh_melloo

The night clawed at the city, a suffocating blanket of darkness concealing its hidden truths. A lone figure, a wraith in the urban jungle, glided through the shadows, her footsteps a whisper against the cold, unforgiving pavement. The air crackled with anticipation, a palpable tension that thrummed through the labyrinth of alleyways and dimly lit streets. The scent of damp asphalt and exhaust fumes, a potent cocktail of urban decay, was laced with the intoxicating sweetness of jasmine, a jarring contrast that clung to the air like a whispered promise. The woman, cloaked in the anonymity of the night, possessed a lithe and agile frame that moved with a predatory grace. Her raven hair, a silken cascade, draped over her shoulders, merging with the shadows that enveloped her. Beneath the hood of her jacket, her eyes, like piercing black coffee, that seemed to burn with an inner fire, scanned her surroundings with a predatory intensity. The contours of her face, sharp and defined, hinted at a steely determination, a resolve that bordered on obsession, a hunger that fueled her every step. As the moon cast its silvery glow over the urban landscape, the woman's presence was like a phantom, her movements silent and elusive. The city held its breath, a silent witness to the unfolding drama that lay beneath the surface. The distant rumble of a passing train, a rhythmic groan of metal on metal, punctuated the silence, a stark reminder of the city's relentless pulse. In the heart of the night, where shadows danced and whispers lingered in the air, a tale of obsession and intrigue began to unfurl, a story spun from darkness and desire... Genre: Dark Romance Trigger Warnings: This story contains themes of stalking, obsession, sexual assault, violence and psychological suspense. Reader's discretion is advised.

The traumas. And because of that, she returns to Germany with a heavy heart. She faces blows from the family she left a long time ago, and she gets a condition from her cousin to stay with the family at least that summer, for three months, before destroying them again by running away. By chance, she meets Benjamin Marcano, her first lover and childhood abuser. Here begins her "sweet" revenge, which will be completed with a sad ending.

There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together? Loyalties transfer, lines blur, and hatred ignites complete chaos. She's cunning. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴. She's dangerous. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴. She's evil. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘴𝘦. Or so that's what we're told.
