CRIMSON VOWS ❤️🔥
In a world ruled by blood, bullets, and betrayal, love is the most dangerous weapon of all. She was a quiet storm, hidden in the shadows, never meant to cross paths with the ruthless mafia heir. But when their worlds collide in a blaze of chaos, she's pulled into a life of darkness, where trust is rare and survival depends on how well you play the game. He's cold, calculated, and cruel to the world-but to her, he's something else entirely. Obsessive. Protective. Possessive. As secrets unravel and enemies close in, love becomes the only thing worth killing for. But will their passion save them... or destroy everything in its path?Complete

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐨𝐬. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐥. 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐁𝐞𝐝𝐥𝐚𝐦. . . . There are things you're taught not to do. Rules you're told to follow. People you're meant to forget. Flora never planned to end up here, but after one too many mistakes, her life dives for rock bottom. Now, she's trapped in a world she doesn't understand, haunted by a past she can't outrun. And at the center of it all stands the boy she'd sworn to forget. What once was fate, fractures into an illusion and twist into something dangerously evil. They were kids together. Friends together. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘯'𝘵. She's new. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵. She's fresh meat. 𝘏𝘦'𝘴 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘰𝘶𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦. What happens when they reunite? Secrets unfold. Chaos runs free. And the line between love and ruin sharpens into a thin blade, as history proves to repeat itself in its cruelest form. A girl. A boy. And a mad house that feeds on sin. There's no place to hide here. You can run, but you'll never get away. "𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘉𝘦𝘥𝘭𝘢𝘮. 𝘞𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘱𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺." 𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐛𝐢𝐝𝐝𝐞𝐧 𝐄𝐧𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐭𝐲

Toxic Vows - Bound by Hatred
When two mafia heirs are forced into marriage to unite their families, neither of them expects anything but chaos. They hate each other, they fight, they plot revenge - but the more they clash, the closer they get. What begins as a war between them soon turns into a love strong enough to destroy everything - including themselves. ❗WARNING❗ Contains sexual scenes, vulgar language, and a bit of sarcasm and irony here and there. Recommended for 13+. If you don't like the story, don't read it! If you do, I'd appreciate your support.

There are choices that feel like accidents. Decisions that arrive dressed as inevitability. And men who never act without already knowing the outcome. She doesn't realize she's been chosen, only that the world begins to bend when she steps into it. Elysian is not a place for coincidence. It rewards foresight, patience, and those ruthless enough to pull strings no one else can see. And he has built his empire on 𝘣𝘰𝘵𝘩. Power recognizes power and hers has 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴 been dangerous. What looks like an unfortunate crossing of paths is anything but. Beneath every gesture lies intent. Beneath every silence, calculation. And beneath his attention, something sharpened by resistance rather than softened by it. They share a history that should have stayed buried, not because it was harmless, but because it taught them exactly how lethal the other could be. She thinks she's choosing her moves. He's been planning around them. Power shifts. Motives tangle. Obsession slips into something that looks like protection, like necessity until walking away stops being an option. Here, unions aren't built on submission, they're forged between equals who know precisely where to strike. A woman who refuses to be owned. A man who refuses to lose control. And a bond that was never a matter of if, only when. And the best part? 𝘕𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘳𝘦𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘱 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘤𝘪𝘥𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘭.
From Animosity To Affinity
"Every time you look at me, it feels like I'm reading my favorite page for the first time." She said "Then let me tell you, I could reread your whole story forever." I said with love. .... 𝙄𝙎𝘼𝘽𝙀𝙇𝙇𝘼 𝙈𝘼𝙍𝙄𝙀 𝙎𝙄𝙉𝘾𝙇𝘼𝙄𝙍:- "For a long time, I treated love like a bad investment-too risky, too likely to cost me everything. Running my business taught me that the best things are solid and reliable. This love we have isn't weak or sudden. it's MY safe place. You give me the space to be successful, or to simply rest, without judgment. You accept every part of me, even the difficult parts, and you don't try to change them. That deep respect is why this relationship feels real and lasting. It's the only true love I ever wanted." 𝗘𝗡𝗭𝗢 𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗜𝗔:- "You see this thing between us as a safe investment? Good. Because I'm the majority shareholder, and this partnership is non-negotiable. I watched you build your jewelry empire, and it just confirmed what I already knew: you're the sharpest thing in any room, and you belong here, next to the future Don. When I look across the room and see some schmuck staring too long, yeah, I get a little possessive. Think of it as quality control. You're my biggest acquisition, Isabella, and the only contract I'll ever sign with a lifetime exclusivity clause. Now, stop looking so serious and tell me if my tie goes with the color of the blood I almost spilled five minutes ago." ..... "Before you, my life was about work. Now, I spend my mornings negotiating with a named Romano. It turns out, giving up control for the right person is the ultimate power move." "I thought ruling an organization was the pinnacle of power, but nothing prepared me for the quiet panic when Romano gets a fever.
