[UNEDITED] Elyssia Lopez is smart, disciplined, and on track to graduate laude. By day, she's a nursing student at UST. By night, she's a lethal assassin for Crimson Veil. Her mission? Marry Zagreus and pretend to be his wife.
It should have been easy. After all, he was hopelessly in love with her.
Crimson Veil had failed to end him again and again... until the night of the explosion. The party, the car--everything was meant to end it. Two years of deception, two years of danger, and she thought she was finally free.
But chaos tore through the room. People screamed and stumbled toward the exits. And in the middle of it all... he was there. Zagreus Romanovich Volkov--alive.
From that night on, everything change.

𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍🥀
Seven years ago, Iris Eleanor saw something she should never have seen-a murder in a dark alley. That night changed everything. He caged her. Broke her. Obsessed over her. Until one day, she escaped. Now, she's back. Not to forgive. Not to forget. She's here to burn his empire to the ground. But Ethan Vale isn't the man she remembers. He's colder. Harder. A marriage not of love, but of legacy. A throne built on blood. A girl with revenge in her heart. And a man who has never once begged for her love-but might just destroy the world to keep her. In this game of knives and vows, someone will shatter. The only question is: who?
Veil of obsession
She agreed to marry him to save her brother. She never imagined she'd be stepping into a world of luxury, danger, and obsession. He's a man feared by everyone-a mafia don whose calm control hides a ruthless obsession. He keeps her close, watches her every move, and tests her in ways she can't resist. Every glance, every touch, every whispered word blurs the line between fear and desire. Trapped between her own defiance and the dangerous pull of a man who wants her completely, she discovers that some chains aren't meant to be broken... and some love isn't meant to be safe. In a world where power is everything and betrayal lurks in every shadow, how far will she go for love-or survival? Warning: This story is dark, twisted, and intensely romantic. Expect obsession, possessive love, and morally gray desires
The Empire Of Ashes
Marry him. Lose everything. Refuse him. Lose everything. Alessia is trapped between her mother's scheming and the man she once loved, Marco Volkov, whose every word hides danger. In a world where empires rise and fall on a whisper, can she reclaim her power - or will love destroy her first?
Temped by Rivalry
Two enemies. Leaders of different mafia. Being forced to work together in deadly situations. Rafael and Alessio are great enemies but want to form a small alliance to form some peace between their mafias to decrease the bloodshed and loss. But little did they know.. One of them will develop feelings. It's dangerous since this could put this their entire mafia at risk, this could end everything and get them both killed for betrayal. There is only one rule when it comes to love in the mafia world. You can form alliances but you can never fall in love. What will happen these rivals?
The Price Was Me
Elena Rosalie Valentie's quiet life shatters when she's kidnapped and sold to the ruthless Italian mafia leader, Adrian Dalassio Vervelli. Cold, dangerous, and obsessively possessive, Adrian takes her as more than just a debt payment-he makes her his. Trapped in his world of power and control, Elena battles fear, defiance, and unwanted desire as escape grows impossible. Yet when danger from Adrian's past threatens her, he becomes both her captor and protector. As fear slowly twists into fascination, an intense bond forms-one built on obsession, betrayal, and dangerous love. Enemies. Prisoner. Lover. Their story isn't about perfection-it's about surrendering to love born in the shadows. ᡕᠵデᡁ᠊╾━ •••••• "You know," he said, his voice low, "just standing there... makes me want to take more than just your attention." He said as hid fingers grazed her thigh. Elena's heart slammed against her ribs. She tried to steady her voice. "You're insane." "Insane?" he echoed, sliding up her leg with one fingertip. "Or... obsessed? Every part of you makes it impossible to think straight.I Impossible not to touch and devour ." Her breath hitched as his hand slid to her waist, brushing against her back and then lingered. "I... I can't believe you" "You can," he murmured, leaning so close her lips almost brushed his. "But you won't. Not because you don't want to, Sweetheart.. but because you are afraid you'll feel what I feel. And once you do... you'll be mine in ways you can't fight." Every word, every movement, every scrape of his fingers across her skin set fire to her nerves. Fear, desire, frustration-all tangled into a delicious ache she couldn't escape. And he knew it. 𐔌՞꜆. ̫.꜀՞𐦯 𓂃✿𓈒𓏸
