spoiled hearts, stolen souls
Eraya was no ordinary heiress. Born with the world's rarest blood type-rh-null-she was a living miracle, a treasure more valuable than diamonds, a secret her family guarded like royalty. Her life was a glittering cage of luxury, endless adoration, and indulgence. Pampered by her doting parents and protected by three ruthless mafia brothers, she lived in a bubble of childish arrogance and untouchable beauty. Everyone worshipped her, and yet, she remained blissfully unaware of the shadows lurking beyond her golden walls. Shaurya was the opposite. A man forged by silence, pain, and expectation. At 26, he was already a legend in the mafia world-cold, calculating, and merciless. His family didn't love him; they demanded perfection. No warmth, no compassion-only results. His eyes carried a void where feelings should have been, and his presence alone commanded fear. A devil in human form, his emotions were locked away, hidden beneath layers of steel and pride. Fate didn't care for feelings. A marriage contract. One year of binding them together. Two souls born from opposite worlds. And nothing-absolutely nothing-would be easy.
Curiosity Didn't Kill This Cat
Do you always listen to the little voice in your head? Does it always tell you the right thing to say or do? I know mine doesn't. I'm not taking about you conscience. That's a whole other discussion. I'm talking about your curiosity. It is a little known fact that being inquisitive about other people's affairs may get you into trouble. To simplify that lovely proverb I'm just saying that curiosity can kill the cat. Sadly enough humans are curious by nature. This is a story about an executive, his personal assistant, and his current bed partner who is his personal assistant's ex-boyfriend. Curious yet?

The Devil's Redemption
The Russian mafia boss, who is engaged to a woman he can't stand, and a woman who works for the Criminal Investigation Department as an agent and a forensic pathologist. Two people from different worlds meet in a dark alleyway; fate does its work and connects their lives together. ____________ "I know you all are curious," he began, his Russian accent thick and unmistakable. "But the only thing you need to remember is that this beautiful woman," his hand rested possessively on my shoulder, "is Eleanor Morozov." His eyes swept over the room, challenging anyone to dispute his claim. "But most importantly, she is mine." "Every word that comes out of her mouth," he says, his voice echoing through the cavernous room, "will hold as much power and meaning as my own. You disrespect her," he pauses, his gaze sweeping over each man, "you die. You look down at her, you die. You think of her in any way but as my equal, you die, and the process will be... unpleasant." Vlad takes his seat beside me, his hand resting casually on the arm of the chair. "Now that we have that cleared up, let's continue what we're here for."Complete

City Spark 2.0
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.

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.Complete
