"In a world where trust is fragile... and secrets are deadly..."

 Lyra sneaking out, the streets lit by neon lights, engines roaring in the background

Lyra : "I'm not the perfect mafia princess everyone thinks I am."

Adam standing in the shadows, watching her. His blue eyes sharp, unreadable

Adam : "She thinks she knows me, but she doesn't. I wasn't hired just to protect her... I'm here to finish something I started long."

Lyra : "Adam Blackford is a mystery I can't afford to solve... but I can't stay away."

Unknown : "You're just a pawn in a game you don't even understand."

Alex slamming his fist into a wall, fury in his eyes

Alex : "I trusted you to keep her safe, Adam. If anything happens to her... you'll pay."

Adam and Alex storming through hallways, gunfire, the sound of metal doors slamming shut

"When betrayal runs deep... and love is a weakness..."

Lyra : "Please... make sure he's okay."

Adam staring at a figure in the distance as he makes a choice that will change everything

"But not everything is as it seems."

Melancholy by ruani_writes
38 parts Complete Mature
She hated them. They loved her with everything in them. The universe truly has a sick way of telling you it's there, doesn't it? From being kidnapped to being abused, that was all Arabella saw in life. It was all she ever knew. They tell you to keep fighting but sometimes you realize... you were just a child. Now she's built herself up using her pain as the next step to her strength. She's learnt how to strive forward even as her past haunts her mind crawling up her back every passing second. That is until the first 7 people who only ever brought her pain find their way back into her life. She has no way to let go of her past when they come right back to her. The world showed her no mercy in it's ways so why should she. ~~~ I let out a small sigh wanting more of this. I wanted to be held like this whenever I felt broken. Feel the way he puts me back together in his arms. It ate at my heart and I could have sworn I felt a feathery kiss on my head. It was as if he could hear my thoughts and was kissing them away for me. Slowly he lets one hand go, the other staying around me as he brings my chin up to him gently wiping my last tears as more fill my eyes. He sees this and his eyes look... crumbled. If you feel this way then why can't you choose me, Dominic. I shake my head from his hands wishing to step back but he pulls me back to him a pain filled groan leaving him. "Just one more minute. Please." His body shook and I brought him closer, feeling our pain become one. Our hurricanes of minds pull away even for the smallest time letting us stand together as one in each other's embrace. He was it for me. But I wasn't his.

THE MILLION DOLLAR AFFAIR

39 parts Ongoing Mature

"This isn't your game to control," I bit out, stepping back, gripping the doorframe as if it could keep me grounded. He didn't move. Just watched me. Studied me. The weight of his stare was unbearable. "You're playing with fire, Emily." "I know." "And yet, you keep coming closer." Emily never meant to step into his world-a world of wealth, power, and dangerous secrets. But from the moment she crossed paths with Matthias Cambria, everything changed. For Matthias, control is everything. Emily is a complication he never saw coming, a temptation he should resist. But the more he tries to push her away, the more he finds himself dragged into a dangerous game of desire and defiance. Some lines shouldn't be crossed. Some names shouldn't be spoken. And some obsessions are impossible to escape.
