She wasn't supposed to cross paths with him. He wasn't supposed to care.
Two souls, bound by fate yet walking opposite paths-one forced into a world she never wanted, the other desperate to claim it as her own.
Azalea has spent her life running from the shadows that threaten to consume her, but when she's thrust into an unfamiliar world, escape is no longer an option. Esmeria, on the other hand, refuses to let fate decide for her. A kingdom built on blood and power is her birthright, and she will claim it-no matter the cost.
But the heart is never simple. Not when he steps into her life, unraveling the walls she built. And not when he refuses to let go, even when it hurts. Fate has a cruel sense of irony, binding them to a game they never agreed to play.
Yet beyond love and longing, something darker stirs. Secrets whisper in the shadows, and revenge looms on the horizon. What happens when the past refuses to stay buried? When love itself becomes a dangerous game?
"In a world of stolen glances, lingering touches, and whispered betrayals-some embers are meant to burn."
---
"Stop." Her voice, barely a murmur. Her eyes darted sideways, hands clenched before folding across her chest-a shield against the man before her.
"You don't want me to stop, Mi Querida." He leaned in, his breath warm against her cold skin.
His hands grasped her waist firmly yet gently, as if holding porcelain.
"But we'll regret this. You'll regret this." Her voice wavered.
"Mi Cielo-" He cupped her face, thumb tracing her cheek. "-I won't. But if you think you will, you have every right to stop me."
Their eyes locked, stripped of pretence, of walls. He leaned in, lips brushing hers.
Her breath hitched, mind screaming to pull away-yet her body melted into his touch. In that stolen moment, nothing else existed. Just him, just them. Just the weight of a choice she wasn't ready to make.

Enchanted
She was lost and so was he. Who knew that two broken hearts can connect to one. Arabella's world has been rigged since the day she was born. Her fate had been decided for her much longer before she even had been conceived in the womb. So it came as no surprise when she found herself back at the beginning. As if the pain she has previously experienced wasn't enough, she now needs to relearn how to balance her life. She can't help but pray to the universe for a break. She was exhausted from fighting for all she had and watching her life fall apart just as quickly as it had come back together. Dominic's life was something he would forever be grateful for since he knew that he never had it as rough as others. But there were always going to be times that he wanted to give up. With the responsibility of leading an entire mafia and his own past commitment issues, he believes the barrier to letting go is far greater than what others tell him. And when new desires emerge, he notes how his heart skips a beat whenever he sees her. His instinct kicks in, and he raises his barriers twice as high as she lowers hers to make place for him. All I was guilty of, was showing them mercy when no one else would. ~~~ "I saw you, Dominic. I wish you saw me." "I see you." I freeze at his words, my back facing him. "I can only see you. Everything I look at, everything I touch, everything I smell always leads back to you. I spent most of my life thinking that my heart was my biggest weakness. I always imagined that it would be my downfall. I had a loving family and that was enough for me. Getting a girlfriend, getting married, having a family, none of that mattered to me. Before you." He pauses, taking a breath and my eyes water. "I kept any other part of my heart guarded and almost locked. It was as if I didn't have one at all. Even now, its still fucked up. The lock I've kept is warned out though the only person who has its key is you. It's yours."Complete

"Would you have killed that young boy!? Over a fucking purse!?"I shot back. It was a stupid temerity but I was willing to take the risk. "I would do whatever it takes to show that I call the shots"He menacingly replied. "Even with you"His voice dropped to a dangerously low tone. "Now you are just acting like a possessive and dominating freak"I replied with a roll of my eyes and a hiss. In a fluid motion, he quickly grasped my braids, dragging it. My eyes widened and I held on to his arm, wincing. "That's because I am. I own you. You belong to me. I'll always be the one you lust for and crave for. And if you try to act otherwise, I'll make sure I make you submit to me whether you like it or you don't"Raphael huskily replied, dragging my braids more.

"And what if I don't want to submit to your orders, what will you do huh?"I taunted him. "Will you kill me? Shoot me? Stab me huh? Mr Raphael!?"

When the empty road stretches before us, I slam on the brakes, my heart pounding in my chest. I throw the door open and pull Chiara out with me, my hands trembling with frustration. "What the hell were you thinking?" I shout, my voice raw and shaking. She glares at me, defiance blazing in her eyes. "Why do you even care?" she fires back, her voice dripping with disdain. Without thinking, I grab her, pulling her so close that her breath mingles with mine in the cold night air. "Because you belong to me," I whisper, my voice low and dangerous. "Mine to protect, mine to punish, mine to destroy if I have to." Her eyes widen, shock flickering across her face, but there's something else-a wild, reckless pull, an attraction that mirrors my own. We're both trapped, caught in a fire neither of us can control. In that moment, I know we're dancing on the edge of something dangerous.
