What would you do if your life was nothing but debts and heartbreak?
For 18-year-old Anastasia Field, the answer was simple: run.
After losing her parents in a tragic accident, things went from bad to worse. Her own uncle and aunt betrayed her-selling her into marriage to pay off their son's loans. So, with nothing but fear and desperation, she ran to St. Petersburg, hoping for a fresh start.
But freedom doesn't come easy.
With no money, no degree, and nowhere to turn, Anastasia ends up working at Lustique-a high-end gentleman's club. It's been six months of fake smiles, unwanted stares, and a life she never asked for. She hates every second of it... but she needs the money to survive.
But fate had other plans. That one night was just the beginning of something new.
She finds a letter waiting at her doorstep.
No name. No return address. Just an invitation that would drag her into a world she never saw coming.
A secret gang. A dangerous mission.
And the kind of life that could either set her free... or destroy her completely.

Twisted Love
[Started Writing : 3rd August, 2023] "For fuck sake, leave me alone." I screamed out as tears commenced gathering in my eyes. He said nothing. He just sat there watching me lose my temper. "Answer me." I growled shooting daggers on his way with my eyes. "Be my girlfriend. You will get everything you lost." "I don't want to be." "You have no choice." Anastasia wants nothing but to get out of the hell hole called 'her life'. They say study hard and then you can earn money and have a good life. But despite having a degree in hands she was still jobless. When life was giving her bitter test then when a devil showed up at the door of her heart, dressed like an angel. The devil wants nothing but a favour from her while promising her everything she wants. Morally grey. That's the definition to construe Alex Vesper. Strict, rude, emotionless, focused and evil. He wants nothing but revenge from a certain someone who might have scratched his ego a little bit. And at that time Anastasia was the best option for him.

There are choices that feel like accidents. Decisions that arrive dressed as inevitability. And men who never act without already knowing the outcome. She doesn't realize she's been chosen, only that the world begins to bend when she steps into it. Elysian is not a place for coincidence. It rewards foresight, patience, and those ruthless enough to pull strings no one else can see. And he has built his empire on 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Power recognizes power and hers has 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 been dangerous. What looks like an unfortunate crossing of paths is anything but. Beneath every gesture lies intent. Beneath every silence, calculation. And beneath his attention, something sharpened by resistance rather than softened by it. They share a history that should have stayed buried, not because it was harmless, but because it taught them exactly how lethal the other could be. She thinks she's choosing her moves. He's been planning around them. Power shifts. Motives tangle. Obsession slips into something that looks like protection, like necessity until walking away stops being an option. Here, unions aren't built on submission, they're forged between equals who know precisely where to strike. A woman who refuses to be owned. A man who refuses to lose control. And a bond that was never a matter of if, only when. And the best part? 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭.

Sweet Riddle
In our world, emotions are a weakness. A liability. A mistake. I learned that lesson young, watching my father rule with an iron fist, his heart nothing more than a rumor. I swore I'd never fall into the same trap-never let a woman tear me apart. And yet, here I am, standing at the altar, binding myself to a woman I barely know. A woman who despises me as much as I refuse to care for her. A contract. A deal. A promise sealed in blood. She is Katya Salifov-fierce, beautiful, and the daughter of my family's sworn enemy. And I am Ivan Yozhikov-heir to an empire built on violence, betrayal, and fear. This marriage isn't about love. It's about power. Control. Survival. But no matter how much I lock my heart away, something about her chips at the ice in my veins. A fire in her eyes that tempts me to break my own rules. And in this life, temptation is just another word for destruction. Welcome to our world. Where vows are made in blood, love is a dangerous game, and betrayal is the only truth.Complete
