City Spark 2.0 by kayladarose

Astrella never meant to catch her boss's attention. She just needed the internship-needed a reason to be out of the house, away from her. She kept her head down, stayed late, took every task without complaint. It was supposed to be temporary. Forgettable. But Kayden Rose doesn't overlook anything. Not in the boardroom, and not when it comes to the trembling intern with bruises she tries to hide beneath sleeves. Cold and calculating, Kayden built an empire in the city's shadows-power suits by day, mafia blood by night. And she didn't climb to the top by letting people get close. Until Astrella. Until the late nights, locked eyes, and secrets that neither of them can keep hidden much longer. In a world built on power and control, love might be the most dangerous risk of all.

THE MAFIA CEO'S GIRL by ForamSangani

Story Intro: Bella Jonas has never waited for life to hand her anything - she creates her own path, armed with confidence, intellect, and an unshakable sense of right and wrong. In a world ruled by power games and polished lies, she stands out not just for her brilliance, but for her refusal to compromise who she is. Enter Michele Romano - the elusive CEO of Romano Tech, known for building an empire from shadows. He's cold, calculated, and carries secrets behind his sharp suits and sharper eyes. No one knows what drives him - and he intends to keep it that way. Their first meeting? A clash of ideals. Their every conversation? A battle of wits. Their connection? Unwanted... and undeniable. Bella challenges everything Michele has carefully built - his control, his silence, his rules. And Michele? He pushes every button she's spent years guarding. In a world where trust is currency and masks are worn like armor, falling for the enemy was never part of the plan. But fate doesn't ask for permission. It just sets the fire - and watches it burn.

The Executioner by SakshiKashyap978

For the world, she's already dead. Sold away at a young age, erased by a lie so perfect no one questions it. Tortured and forged into a weapon-silent, deadly, unstoppable. Now, she moves like a ghost through a world that doesn't want her to exist. But someone is watching. A shadow slipping through cracks she didn't know were there. Invisible, relentless. He knew her before the darkness claimed her. Before she became what she is now. He left once-when she was still a broken girl who dared to dream. But now he's back. Waiting. Watching. Wanting. She hates him. She doesn't understand him. But he's been waiting for this moment-to find her, to claim her, to burn down everything that made her this way. But she's not that lost girl anymore. And she's not sure she wants to be found.
