"Nic..." she sobs over the somewhat static line.
"Sweetheart..." I breathe out as my voice breaks a little with a softness unfamiliar to me since she's been gone.
"Nic..." her voice cracks with sobs, "...how could you? I thought... I thought you loved me and wanted..." She cuts herself off with quiet sobs filling the silence as the few pieces of my heart that her absence left behind break further.
"Ari baby, please... tell me what you're talking about. Where are you? I need to get you," I plead with desperation as my heart beats wildly in my chest. Her end becomes silent again until I hear the saddest scoff, she's ever made from those sweet pouty lips of hers.
"I know Dominic," she quietly croaked.

There are choices that feel like accidents. Decisions that arrive dressed as inevitability. And men who never act without already knowing the outcome. She doesn't realize she's been chosen, only that the world begins to bend when she steps into it. Elysian is not a place for coincidence. It rewards foresight, patience, and those ruthless enough to pull strings no one else can see. And he has built his empire on 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Power recognizes power and hers has 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 been dangerous. What looks like an unfortunate crossing of paths is anything but. Beneath every gesture lies intent. Beneath every silence, calculation. And beneath his attention, something sharpened by resistance rather than softened by it. They share a history that should have stayed buried, not because it was harmless, but because it taught them exactly how lethal the other could be. She thinks she's choosing her moves. He's been planning around them. Power shifts. Motives tangle. Obsession slips into something that looks like protection, like necessity until walking away stops being an option. Here, unions aren't built on submission, they're forged between equals who know precisely where to strike. A woman who refuses to be owned. A man who refuses to lose control. And a bond that was never a matter of if, only when. And the best part? 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭.
Bratva's Bloodline
Bratva's Bloodline Preface They call me the lost Queen of the Bratva - the ghost who vanished, the woman her king bled the world to reclaim. You've heard the story, I'm sure. The queen who rose from ashes, and the ruthless man who would've burned heaven itself to bring her home. You probably think it ended there. That the war was over, that love conquered the darkness. But in the Bratva, there's no such thing as happily ever after. There are only ghosts wearing familiar faces, monsters hiding behind loyalty, and shadows that never stop watching. They linger - silent, patient - waiting for their moment to strike. Nikolai swore he'd be right behind me. He swore we'd be safe, together. But safety is just a prayer whispered into an empty room, and together was nothing more than a beautiful lie. A promise he broke the moment vengeance swallowed him whole. Now I have two tiny hearts that beat in rhythm with my fear. Two fragile souls who have never known the sound of their father's voice. Nikolai went dark - not the kind of darkness you come back from, but the kind that devours everything good in its path. Mikhail disappeared into the wind, and even Maksim doesn't know what his twin has become. The safe house became a tomb, its silence heavier than gunfire. Every breath felt like a countdown, every shadow a threat. So I did the one thing I swore I'd never do to the man I loved - I ran. But you can only outrun the Bratva for so long. And every promise, no matter how broken, has a way of finding you again.

Love In The Shadow (18+ | Litmatch Lovestory)
Prologue - When Hearts Break Betrayal doesn't scream. It whispers. It seeps in like poison, invisible at first, until one day you wake up and realize you've been dying quietly inside. That was me.

Eight months later, I'm still learning how to breathe without bleeding. Two children look at me with eyes too wise for their years. Han, seventeen, carrying silence like armor. Bella, six, asking me why Ami cries at night when the world is asleep. I tell her it's just allergies. She doesn't believe me. Some nights, I wonder if I still exist beyond the roles I'm forced to carry-mother, provider, survivor. Is there still a woman left inside me? Or did she die the night she saw the truth blinking on his phone? And then, in the middle of that loneliness, I met him. Not in the real world, but behind a username. Mr× A stranger with shadows darker than mine. A man broken by betrayal, scarred by addiction, living with an illness that became his shame. We should have never crossed paths. But broken souls recognize each other. And sometimes, even in the darkest places, love finds a way to whisper back. This isn't a fairy tale. This is a story of two wounded hearts, meeting in the rain of their ruins, daring to dream of sunlight again.
