When Nia, the vibrant heiress of a rising beauty empire, agrees to a fake engagement with her longtime rival Dom, a cold, calculating mogul with a smile built for headlines, it's all business.
The goal? Protect their brands, silence the media, and outplay the boardrooms watching their every move. But behind their designer facades and viral fairy tale, buried grudges and real emotions begin to surface. As their staged romance spirals into something dangerously real.
Nia must decide: is love her greatest weapon... or the one thing that could destroy her?

AADAT
The wedding was nothing more than a battlefield dressed in gold. She wore the silk he chose, stood beneath the vows she didn't mean, and let the cameras capture a story that wasn't hers. Beside her stood the man she had sworn to hate-the rival who had stolen victories, the enemy who now carried her name on his tongue as if it was already his to own. His hand closed over hers, steady and unyielding, the perfect mask for the crowd. But beneath that grip was a challenge, a warning, a fire. She should have pulled away. She didn't. Because hatred was simple. Hatred she understood. But the pulse that quickened under his gaze, the shiver that betrayed her when he leaned close-that was the real danger. This marriage wasn't love. It wasn't peace. It was war wrapped in silk. (Aditya X Nikhat) They were friends once-laughing at inside jokes, sharing secrets only they understood. She trusted him. He trusted her. Then came the arrangement. Fake dating, they called it-a harmless lie to fool everyone else. But pretending brought them too close, stirred emotions neither were ready to admit. And when it ended, it ended hard. Pretend partners became strangers overnight. The laughter disappeared. The trust vanished. Time didn't heal it. It sharpened it. They became rivals, measuring each other in every glance, every word, every challenge. And yet, beneath the tension, beneath the rivalry, something familiar lingered... something dangerous. Because some bonds, even when broken, refuse to stay dead.

Owned By Him: Till Death Do Us Apart | A Dark Romance | 18+ Seraphina Blake was born to smile, nod, and obey. A prodigy at the piano and a masterpiece of quiet elegance, she was raised to be seen-not heard. But when her father signs away her future for power and prestige, Seraphina is thrown into a world of sharp suits, colder stares, and a last name that drips with legacy and lies. Damien Thorne is everything she isn't. Billionaire CEO. Heartless. Untouchable. The type of man who doesn't flinch when the world burns-because he's usually the one who lit the match. He never asked for a wife. Especially not one like her. But in a world where love is currency and marriage is war, Seraphina must learn how to survive the empire she was forced into... Even if it means melting the ice around Damien's heart-or letting it consume her. ---------------- The shock stole my voice. I could feel the smooth surface at my back and the heat of his body so close it made my skin burn. My wrists were pinned, and I was trapped. Still, I whispered, "Why are you doing this...?" His voice was low, rough, dangerous. "You play beautifully," he said, his breath ghosting against my skin. "So graceful. So poised. So perfect." For a moment, I almost believed it was a compliment. But then he leaned closer. "But I see past that sweet little act," he whispered. "All the pretty smiles and perfect posture-it's a facade. You're just another spoiled princess playing pretend. But don't bother. You won't fool me." ----------------Kumpleto
