"Lucian Blackwood, the once-untouchable mafia kingpin, ruled the underworld with ruthless precision-until a betrayal sent him to prison. Now, years of simmering rage fuel his desire for vengeance as he steps back into the world with a single purpose: to find and destroy the one who wronged him.
But when his quest leads him to the enigmatic Elowen Morozov, everything changes. Elowen's hidden motives and mysterious past captivate Lucian, even as she constantly stays one step ahead of him. As he delves deeper into a web of lies and deception, he finds himself increasingly entangled in her game. Just as he believes he has her figured out, a shocking revelation shatters his assumptions.
Will Lucian's hunger for revenge consume him, or will Elowen's secrets turn the tables and redefine the rules of the game?".

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession.

This is one of the story which I creates in my mind at night while struggling to sleep! Believe me, night scenerios are best stories!💯 And this one isn't peaceful but dark romance💗🥀 I hope you'll like it. She thought the boy she shattered disappeared with the past. That the night he fell, he took her guilt with him. She was wrong. Monsters don't die quietly. They learn how to breathe in the dark. Lucian was once the quiet boy no one protected. Now he's a man the world fears-and when he returns, he doesn't come for revenge alone. He comes for her. "You looked away when I needed you," he says softly. "Do you know what that does to a person?" She remembers his face from the news.The rumors. The blood. And the unbearable truth- that she helped create him. "You can hurt me," she whispers, defiant even while trembling. "But you'll never own who I am." His smile is slow. Dangerous. Almost sad. "I don't want to own you," he replies. "I want you to choose me... the way you never did before." What begins as fear turns into obsession. What feels like hatred starts to blur into something far more dangerous. Because when two broken souls collide, love doesn't arrive gently-it arrives like war. This is not a story about saving each other. It's about surviving the damage. About guilt that doesn't fade. About love that hurts, heals, and scars all at once. And when everything burns- the past, the blood, the lies- the only question left is: If the person you fear most is also the one who understands you... would you run? Or would you stay?Complete

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored.

The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.
