𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗘𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄'𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗻. A career in nursing just taking off, a loving boyfriend in public but a cheater in private, and a quiet ache she's learned to live with. "Love is a lie," she says - until a stranger accidentally sits at her table in a bustling café. 

𝗥𝗮𝗳𝗮𝗲𝗹 𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘆. With walls built higher than the skyline, he runs his security empire with iron fists and frayed patience. But his hard exterior shifts when a woman with lonely, tired eyes and a smile so soft offers him a seat.

What begins as late-night calls, stolen glances, and shared silences, soon turns into something neither of them expected: an affair. A love that pushes their morals to the edge. Eden has never believed in crossing lines. Rafael? He's never cared about them... until her.

In a love born from broken promises, can two damaged hearts find something real in something so illicit?

Or will the weight of their sins be too much to carry?

Bed of Lies by chelsy_lea
60 parts Complete Mature
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. But when the past claws its way back, survival isn't enough - vengeance demands blood. Victoria learned how to stay quiet. Grief became her shadow, guilt her constant companion. It whispered in her ear that she should have been the one to die instead. Not her mother. Never her mother. If she had, maybe her father wouldn't have walked away, leaving them to fend for themselves. But silence is a fragile shield-and when the past resurfaces, dragging her into a world she barely escaped, she realizes staying quiet won't save her this time. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, behind rage, behind the monster his past made him. Forged by cruelty, built by betrayal, and fueled by rage, he became the kind of man other monsters feared. Scars became his armor. Violence, his language. He doesn't believe in mercy-only vengeance. Especially for the man who made him this way. Victoria was everything he had been taught to avoid - soft yet unbreakable, damaged yet defiant. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own, a past carved into her bones, a war waged behind tired eyes. She saw through him in ways no one else had ever dared, and he hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. He was chaos wrapped in quiet fury, a storm threatening to consume everything in its path. And yet, when she looked at him, she didn't just see the monster - she saw the man who had once fought to hold on to his soul. But love between two broken people is never easy. It's volatile. Cruel. A constant push and pull, neither of them willing to surrender, both too damaged to truly hold on. The closer they get, the more dangerous the stakes become. Yet, for all the ways they fought against it, they kept coming back to each other.
