In an opulent mansion, Isabella and Alexander, forced into a loveless marriage, exchanged vows. Their eyes held immense hatred, a shared secret behind practiced smiles.
Weeks passed, their interactions remained cold and formal. Then, Isabella uncovered Alexander's dark deeds, thrusting them into a treacherous world of deceit.
"Promise me you'll never speak of this," Alexander whispered urgently.
"I can't ignore it," Isabella said.
Their lives unraveled, and they became unwilling partners in a dangerous game. Betrayal loomed, and Isabella finally admitted, "I hate you more than anyone."
"The feeling is mutual," Alexander retorted.
Their marriage, born of obligation, had become a crucible of secrets and lies. They faced dark forces, and just as they stood on the precipice of their perilous journey, Alexander's voice dripped with menace.
"I promise you, Isabella," he hissed, "before this is over, you'll wish you'd never been born."

The Secret From Within
Xavier Blackwood rules the criminal underworld with an iron fist and a heart encased in ice. Feared by rivals, adored by none, and trusted by fewer, he is a man of power, precision, and brutality. The name Blackwood echoes through the underground like a whispered curse-lethal, cold, and untouchable. No one crosses him and lives to tell the tale. Isabella Santino is a ghost in the world of shadows-an assassin whose elegance and silence are as deadly as her blade. With no past, no ties, and no mercy, she's the weapon the highest bidders beg to command but never truly own. Her loyalty belongs to no one, and her secrets are buried deeper than any grave she's ever filled. When Xavier and Isabella's paths collide in the smoke-filled corridors of betrayal, vengeance, and bloodlust, sparks don't just fly-they ignite a war. What begins as a collision of titans becomes a dangerous dance of dominance, secrets, and obsession. But underneath their hardened exteriors, something stirs. Something forbidden. Something human. In a world where love is weakness and trust is a death sentence, "The Secret From Within" dares to ask: what happens when two monsters fall for the very thing they were taught to destroy? Only one truth remains: every secret has its price. And some... are paid in blood.Complete

Lisa's voice trembled as she took in the scene before her. In 4 Years Apart, love and deception collide. What happens when a marriage of circumstance unravels the darkest truths?Complete
TWISTED DESIRES
They were the shadows everyone feared. Four boys. Sons of Italy's most dangerous mafia bloodlines. Handsome, ruthless, untouchable-kings in a kingdom of terror. No one dared cross their path. No one dared dream of being close. But in the quiet corners of their brutal lives, they noticed her. The girl who smiled too easily. The girl too soft for their world of fire and blood. The girl they decided belonged to them. The girls never knew their names. Only whispers, only warnings-"Stay away from them." But fate has a twisted way of binding destinies. When years later, four arranged marriages are announced, the girls think it's coincidence. A deal between families. A cruel twist of fate. But it isn't fate. It's them. The bad boys with obsessions sharp as knives. The broken heirs who swore in blood: "You are mine. You were always mine. And I will burn the world before I let it take you away." This is not a love story. This is a story of Twisted Desires.
In my next life
"I didn't kill her!" I screamed, my voice tearing through the air. Five years ago, I married Aiden - my father's choice, not mine. I never loved him. He was cold, distant, and came home only to remind me how trapped I was. So I invited my best friend, Sofia, to keep me company. I thought she was helping me survive my marriage - until she started dressing up for my husband, whispering that I should divorce him, and avoiding my eyes. Then came his mother's birthday - the night everything shattered. A push. A scream. A body tumbling down the stairs. His mother - gone. And every gaze turned to me. Before I could speak, Aiden's men beat me to the ground. He looked at me with hate and grief I'll never forget. "You wanted a divorce so bad you killed my mother?" But it wasn't me. Later, Sofia appeared, smiling through her tears, a bowl of poison in her hands. "You always had everything, Lilly. Now lose it all." She forced it down my throat and screamed, "She killed herself!" when Aiden rushed in. As I choked on blood and betrayal, I realized the truth too late - my best friend was my ruin. If only I could return... just once more
