I never wanted this marriage. Being forced to marry him-my greatest enemy-felt like a cruel joke. But our families had been close for generations, and I had no choice.
Javier, however, embraced it. He wanted this marriage, not out of love, but out of desire. I despised him for it.
But as time passed, everything changed. Our fights turned into stolen glances, and hatred into something far more dangerous. On our wedding day, we could no longer deny it-we had fallen in love.
Yet love was only the beginning. What followed was an adventure neither of us expected, full of secrets, betrayals, and a truth that could tear us apart. Because in a world where loyalty is everything, choosing us might mean losing everything else.
This is my first story entirely in English. English is not my native language so I apologize in advance if there are any mistakes.

A Marriage of Convenience
Hi readers! This is the English version of "Marriage Contract with My Boss". I've revised some parts to make the flow more natural and to ensure an accurate translation into English. I hope you enjoy this story. Please bear with me if you find any grammatical errors. Thanks for your support! I know it's a bit cliché, but I believe in the power of love. Love can conquer all, right? Well, in my story, it did. It took a lot of twists and turns, a few near-death experiences, and a lot of heart-wrenching moments. But in the end, true love prevailed, and it brought happiness to all involved. Well, except for Nathan, but he, sadly, got what was coming to him. I tried to capture the complexities of relationships in my story. Sometimes love is messy and complicated, but it's also beautiful and fulfilling. I wanted to show that even amidst chaos and danger, love can find a way. I know it's a bit of a wild ride, but I hope you enjoyed the journey. I wanted to create a story that was both entertaining and thought-provoking. I hope I did a good job! Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! I love reading your feedback.

Broken By Mafia
He wasn't always like this... was he? Was it a specific moment that led to where we are today? Was I too blind to see through his façade? Was I blind enough to overlook his sociopathic, sadistic tendencies? No answers, I have no answers. But it doesn't matter anymore. Neither of us are the same people we once were. It's too late for him and I. We can't turn around from the grave sins we've committed. He's the monster I loved once but now, he's the spawn of Satan himself. I was once the girl he supposedly loved but now... I'm just an object of his torments. "You really think you'll be able to leave me?" The sinister look in his eyes keep me alert. "No," I answer truthfully as the blood dripping down my skirt. "You will keep me alive till my heart bleeds for you. Until you break me completely and that's when I'll take my last breath that takes me away from the man who created hell on earth for me; and that's when I'll leave you, forever."Complete
Crimson Vows (Book 1 of Crimson Empire)(Completed)
"We never asked for this. Our lives were written by others, our hearts shackled to a contract neither of us wanted. But somewhere between the lies we told ourselves, we found something we never expected to feel-something dangerous, the truth ." Love was a luxury I never sought, never allowed myself to want. I built walls so high, pushing people away to keep them safe, only letting a few in for fleeting moments of pleasure. But when her parents demand an arranged marriage to unite our families, my father has no choice but to agree. Defy them, and we risk everything. I knew her already-knew the way the sun made her skin glow, the way her curly brown hair danced with every step she took. But did I like her? That was a whole different question. Our families' hatred ran deep, centuries of bloodshed and betrayal fueling the fire that had burned between us for as long as I could remember. The only reason I even tolerated her was because of her brother-my best friend. The one person I thought I could trust... until I learned I was never supposed to be his ally at all. Now, fate has forced us into a marriage neither of us wanted. It feels like a foreign limb, an unwanted tumor growing at my side, suffocating every ounce of freedom I had. The question is-can we both survive this? Or will one of us end up broken, shattered by the weight of what we never asked for? But somewhere along the way, the impossible happened: I fell for her. Completely. Undoubtedly. And now, I don't know if we'll make it out alive... or if we'll destroy each other in the process.Complete

ALMOST YOURS
He was married. I was careful. Until I wasn't. What started as a glance across a wedding table turned into stolen nights, hidden texts, and a love I never meant to fall into. Jethniel wasn't mine. But somehow, I became his secret - his escape. His mistake. And for a while, I let him keep me in the dark. Until the lies started to sound like love. Until I said "I love you" out loud... and realized what that really meant. This isn't a fairytale. There's no prince. Just a woman who loved too hard, waited too long, and finally chose herself. A story about forbidden love, painful choices, and what happens when being wanted isn't enough anymore.Complete
Arranged
So many thoughts were running through my mind as Liam and I stood there, face-to-face, ready to do something that could escalate my like for him or even change his perspective of me in a good or bad way. But, why was I so curious about kissing him? Part of me did want to know what it'd feel like, the other part reminded me that this was my first outside a relationship, and we couldn't count his. He sure was really experienced. In the midst of my thoughts, I felt Liam soft hand caress my cheek. My heart pounded in my chest, as he tucked a loose strand of hair behind my ear. His eyes were burning into mine, and I felt his hands travel down my back and around my waist. I felt breathless already. He gently pulled me in close to him, so close that I could feel his heart-beat against mine. An audible gulp escaped me, making him smile. A real one. I could feel the warmth in his voice as he whispered " Don't be scared, I'm not that horrible. " At that moment, I just trusted him. I nodded my head, as he tilted his and slowly leaned in. A wave of heat flooded my entire body as Liam drew me closer and closer, firmly sealing the gap between us. Oh God. This is it. Skylar tries to make the best out of the fact that she was getting married in a year to a perfect stranger, but he's antipathetic, reluctant-the list goes on, and she gets broken countless times.Complete

The Marriage He Wouldn't Undo
I've never been good at making decisions-somehow, I always end up hurting the people around me. So I chose silence, thinking it was the safest choice. But silence, I learned, is its own kind of chaos. It twisted how people saw me. Misunderstood. Misread. Misjudged. And yet, I remained quiet... because I didn't know how to ask for help. I couldn't survive without someone to lean on-without a presence to anchor me. So I chose the path that looked easiest, not because it was right, but because it was available. I got married-not out of love, not out of longing, not even curiosity-but out of necessity. It was an agreement, a shared convenience. A quiet contract between two strangers who needed something from each other. No butterflies. No spark. Just survival. I married a stranger... because sometimes, the heart stays silent when it's been unheard for too long.
An Endless Day
"Alright, it's 12 noon. Deal or not?" I couldn't look at him, so I stared at the beauty in front of me. Somehow I knew he was watching it too. I felt like we were characters of a famous story, standing side by side, gazing ahead. I hesitated, my heart was beating fast, I was almost afraid that he's going to hear it too. But for the first time in my life, I trusted my heart and told my brain to go to hell. The girl lead in this story was going to do what she wanted, and won't fear the consequences. "Let's do this." I said and turned towards him. We remained silent for a couple of moments, absorbing the meaning of the deal we just agreed to. And then I saw his lips turned upwards just enough for me to notice. He turned to me and held my hand. I felt several emotions just by touching him. Nervousness, excitement, fear, happiness all at once. I pushed them all aside, and smiled ear to ear. He held his hand up, counting down to three, my heart racing with every finger he raised. And just as he finished, we jumped off the cliff.Complete
