Some games are too dangerous to play... especially when your heart is the prize.
Ariana thought a transfer to a new university would mean a clean slate, a chance to leave behind old wounds and finally focus on her future. But the last thing she expected was him. Ivan Garcielle. Too confident, too powerful, too devastatingly handsome for his own good. The kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without saying a word. The kind of man Ariana swore she would never lose herself to.
From the start, Ivan is a contradiction, infuriating yet magnetic, reckless yet controlled, a playboy who seems to notice far too much about her. He pulled her into a world of wealth, secrets. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, the pull between them grows stronger... and far more dangerous than either of them imagined.
What Ariana doesn't know is that Ivan has his own reasons for pulling her into his world, a dangerous game where the line between truth and lies blurs with every stolen glance. But the closer they get, the more dangerous their connection becomes, until love itself feels like the most reckless gamble of all. And once the truth is finally, uncovered, nothing will ever be the same again.
In a place where loyalty can cut deeper than betrayal, and love feels as perilous as revenge, Ariana must decide if trusting Ivan will save her, or destroy her.
Fun fact: Some of this story's most intense moments were polished with a little help from AI. But every secret, every idea, every heartbreak, every twist? 100% mine so please read it. Thank you π

Karma Calls Me Wife
(He thought he could cheat, lie, and escape. But karma doesn't forget. And this time, karma sleeps in his bed.) Ariana was supposed to be just another girl from a poor family- his mother's choice, his unwanted wife, and a woman he could ignore. That's what Leon thought. He had a girlfriend. A perfect life. A freedom he wasn't willing to give up. Until she played the game better than anyone. While he was busy trying to push her away, she was already ten steps ahead-rewriting her own story, twisting the rules, and turning his world upside down. But when he finally realizes that she's the only one who ever truly mattered... will she still want him? Because Ariana doesn't just take what she's given. She sees. She wants. She acts. She creates. And then-she steals. And this time, she might just steal his heart....Complete

Yet, when she crosses paths with Ivan Arcane-the ruthless heir to one of the world's most powerful empires-everything changes.

In the Arms of Danger
"Who are you?" I asked, still left in the shock and scared state that came over me when gunshots were heard. I look up to his face which was hidden behind a dark shadow and bit my lips as silence fell between us. "Who I am is none of your business," he said in a cold, husky voice that somehow caused me to shiver. A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me.
