In a city choked by perpetual twilight, fear is the reigning law. Jade, a sculptor with a talent for the grotesque, finds peace not in beauty but in violence. His macabre masterpieces are a disturbing reflection of the city's dread, each murder a brushstroke in his twisted quest for peace through terror. Ruby, a ghost of a girl haunted by the brutal murders of her parents, walks through life shrouded in despair. Bullied by classmates who mirror the city's cruelty, she finds solace in the shadows, yearning for an escape that only oblivion can offer.
An unexpected encounter throws their lives together. Drawn by an unseen force, Jade finds a dark reflection of his own trauma in Ruby's haunted eyes. Ruby, desperate for connection, mistakes Jade's intensity for strength, clinging to a lifeline in the storm. A macabre romance blossoms from their shared darkness, fueled by a desire for solace and a distorted sense of belonging. Together, they become partners in crime, their murders a grotesque performance art, a desperate plea for a twisted kind of redemption.
But an unseen puppeteer lurks in the shadows, their strings subtly manipulating Jade and Ruby's fates. Cryptic messages, seemingly random occurrences, and unsettling whispers plague their dreams, hinting at the shadowy figure's involvement. As they delve deeper into this chilling game, their quest for vengeance intertwines with a desperate fight for autonomy. They must not only confront the darkness that suffocates their city, but also the darkness that writhes within them. The lines between victim and perpetrator blur as their fragile bond is tested to its breaking point. Will their love be strong enough to survive the ultimate sacrifice, or will they succumb to the very darkness they seek to conquer?

Of Blood and Duty
Wattpad Exclusive! Nearly beaten to death, a man wakes up in a place he does not know. Neither can he remember how he even ended up there. Waking up in the middle of a road he discovers a world of pain only to drift off into unconsciousness again. His body having been crushed and broken beyond his wildest dreams. Falling out of consciousness from the pain, he later wakes up in a bed. A new place he does not know, but being looked after by someone. A woman. Why was he in the care of this beautiful but strange person? How had he ended up in her care? Why had she taken him in and why was she and everyone else so guarded around him? Determined to make his way back home, wherever that may be, the man soon realizes that things are not as easy as he first had thought. Learning to fit in with the people who took him in at the brink of death, he learns that a war is raging between two kingdoms, and which one he belongs to, he cannot remember... if he belongs with to any of them. All he has to remind him of his life before is a sword with a crest of two lions on its pommel... and a woman named Jade who screams for him in his sleep. This is a spin off of The Prince's Choice and Hunted Queen. I recommend reading those two before this one to get the best experience possible!Complete
In His Grip
He says he'd burn the world for her. She never expected him to mean it. Evelyn thought she knew what danger looked like-cold, sharp, and far away. Not quiet hands brushing her hair behind her ear. Not a voice that could break her with one whisper. Damien Blackwell is power, secrets, and obsession wrapped in a tailored suit. Everyone fears him. She should, too. But instead, she finds herself drawn to him-captivated by the way he softens only for her. Until the lies start unraveling. A stalker. A warning. A photo soaked in blood and truth. Now, Evelyn is forced to question everything-how much Damien has protected her... and how much he's destroyed to keep her. But loving a man like him comes at a cost. And she's already in too deep to run. "I don't care if you hate me. Just let me hold you while you fall apart." • Obsession doesn't always look like madness-sometimes, it looks like love. • He'd kill to protect her. He already has. • She became his weakness. And he became her ruin. • In his world, love is possession-and she's his favorite sin. (Currently writing and Editing so the story details can change at anytime.

Heartless Heiress ✔️
Viscious, cruel, cold -- those are just some of the words used to describe Jade Von Kaiser, the sole heiress to the Von Kaiser fortune. Working alongside her father, she has proven to be the only one worthy of the title, and she doesn't care who she steps on to become the very best. The only person who can take her down a notch is Dylan Sharp, a handsome sociopath with a charming smile and a cocky attitude. When Dylan becomes Jade's personal servant, things spiral out of control quickly as power dynamics change, and Jade is left to question everything she's ever known. _________________________________ 'The elevator ride up was silent as Jade seethed quietly, a considerable distance from me. I sighed and snaked my arm around her waist, pulling her close with ease. I bowed my head and brushed my lips against her cheek. "Are you mad at me? I'll make it up to you," I cooed, kissing her neck gently. God, why did I love getting under her skin so damn much? I loved the cute way her eyebrows scrunched when she got mad or the way her freckles seemed to glow when she was embarrassed. "S-stop it," she said not-so-convincingly as she held her palms against my shoulders. I sucked softly on her neck right under her ear while trailing my fingers up her leg, releasing breathless gasps from her. Just as things were about to get good, the elevator dinged, and the doors began to open.'

To Hell
She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.Complete
