*Ashta*

Entrepreneur | Complex Soul


Ashta, a striking and enigmatic figure in her late 20s, is a self-made businesswoman with a razor-sharp mind and a penchant for control. Her raven-black hair and piercing eyes command attention, but beneath her polished exterior lies a tumultuous past.


Growing up in an emotionally neglectful family, Ashta learned to rely solely on herself, forging a guarded and often prickly demeanor. Her struggles to form genuine connections have earned her a reputation as aloof and ruthless.


However, Ashta's carefully constructed defenses conceal deep emotional scars. When triggered, she resorts to self-harm as a coping mechanism, desperately seeking relief from the anguish.


As the driving force behind her thriving business empire, Ashta demands excellence from herself and those around her. Yet, her management style is often criticized as ruthless.


A newfound obsession with one of her employees has awakened a long-dormant spark within Ashta, blurring professional boundaries and threatening to upend her carefully constructed world.


Will Ashta's destructive tendencies forever deny her the connection she secretly craves, or can she confront her inner demons and discover love and redemption?All Rights Reserved

The line between love and hate is thinner than you think, Luna." he said as his fingertips slightly caressed my tear-streaked cheeks. "I never thought I'd see the day when I'd be the reason for your tears, though I used to hate myself for making you cry." his venom coated words made my heart crushed with unwanted guilt as I could feel his rough hands now grabbed a fistful of my ebony curls jerking my face closer so that his musky breath directly hit my nostrils.

His Unexpected: A Demon Romance (COMPLETE) by Bailey-Elizabeth

"Why have you been avoiding me?" I asked breathlessly. Ash lifted his free hand to his mouth and ripped the glove from it with his teeth, before placing his warm palm to my exposed back and pulling me flush against him. My fingertips flitted over his chest to lightly brush the exposed skin near his collar, and he hummed in approval. "Because," Ash said, leaning in to brush his nose and lips across my cheek. "You look devastatingly beautiful in red, and I promised I wouldn't push you." My eyelids fluttered shut as he spoke, and a tremble rattled through my limbs. "Ash, please," I exhaled, the draw I felt to him undeniable as we stood chest to chest, and I felt his lips brush over mine once. A kiss as soft as butterfly wings, but enough to make me burn. "Tell me to stop, Blaise," he rasped as he held himself a hair's distance away. "I don't want you to." --- Blaise Aoide didn't think demons were real, and she certainly didn't expect them to run the world's underground crime syndicate, the Decagon.

The Edge Of Surrender by itsme_SimiB

Alessandra knew, She knew she should have run. Every instinct screamed at her to leave, to escape the dark pull of the man who haunted her dreams and twisted her reality. But something raw and primal held her captive. They were dangerous, their very presence a threat to everything she believed in. Yet, despite the fear, they smelled like safe and felt like home. In their arms, she found a twisted comfort, a refuge in the storm of her own making. But as the line between salvation and damnation blurred, she began to question: was these men her redemption or her ruin? Her karma was catching up to her, and the path she chose could either save her soul or damn it forever. In a world where nothing is as it seems, and trust is a luxury she can't afford, one question remains: will she find the strength to escape before it's too late? Or will she lose herself entirely to inhumane men who are both her downfall and her sanctuary?

Enslaved to Icarus (The Pariah Book 1) by shaziyakhanwrites

"The curse entailed that only the blood that sought yours, can free you of the curse, until then you shall be asleep." Icarus smirked at her words, he knew where this was going as she continued, "Because your blood is-" "Poisonous and repulsive." She nodded. "So, it's unbelievable that she was the one whose blood sought yours, a human, but it did, or perhaps it was your blood that sought hers...," she mulled over it. "But it's wrong, against the natural-" she observed his gaze. Talking about some natural order of the universe was not something that would befit his ears, given that he was the very example of the abomination formed against the natural laws and order of the blood. ~~ No one knew who he was, or where he came from? But he did, and he conquered all the existing realms, hidden and not so hidden from the human world, and built his kingdom upon the ruins of his enemies. Yet, he remained a pariah. Always was. Always will be. He was Icarus. The Monster. The Legend. The Evil. The Pariah. ~~ Everyone knew her to be a scared little kitten. She looked like one too with her snowy white hair, cerulean blue eyes, and a questionable fate. ~~ What was supposed to be a ridiculous adventure, suggested by her equally ridiculous brave friend turned her life into a whirlwind of crazy and bloody, when she stumbled and accidentally awakened the sleeping, ravenous, and absolutely psychotic monster, Icarus. What made her the lucky woman to jostle him out of his centuries of sleep? As a thanks, she was rewarded with the title of being his most beloved SLAVE. Dive into their journey as we unravel their ribbons of fate, and immerse ourselves into their complicated relationship. ~~ This book is a dark fantasy romance novel and Icarus is an original fantasy character that I created. He is not a vampire or a werewolf but something entirely new and interesting.
