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
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete
Little Light (GxG)
In a world that moves too fast, she's learning to breathe slowly. To feel again. To let someone touch the parts of her she thought were long gone. There are no crowns here. No thrones. Just the quiet war of learning how to be held without flinching. She doesn't beg for safety. She creates it in silence. And when she kneels, it's not for weakness- it's because she trusts. But trust has a pulse. And it just might be hers. A story of shadows softened by light, of control given, not taken. Of healing whispered through touch, and love written in silence. This isn't where the pain begins. It's where it learns to rest. ⚠️ WARNING ⚠️ : EMOTIONAL INTIMACY SUBSPACE SLOW-BURN HEALING TRIGGERING THEMES (VULNERABILITY, TRUST, PAST TRAUMA) 🔴 Tops: 🔴 1.

Together, they must navigate bureaucrats, betrayals, and the sharp edge of their own vulnerabilities. But when enemies exploit the cracks in their alliance, Dean and Castiel must decide remain pawns in a war they never chose or turn their arranged vows into a bond strong enough to save them both.Complete
