Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets,

Brandon Thorne doesn't lose. At 38, he's untouchable-ruthless, paranoid, and completely fucking insane. Men fear him. His enemies crumble. He built his empire with his bare hands, crushed anyone in his way.

But now, standing in a seedy bar, watching the girl on stage with too much attitude and not enough shame, he sees what he missed.

Willa Whitmore.

Brandon locked her parents away without a second thought. Never even checked if they had a kid. Oops.

Now she's here, shaking her ass for cash, glaring like she'd stab him if given the chance. And fuck, he likes it.

Willa Whitmore is not impressed.

First, the bastard ruins her life. Now he's sitting at the bar, drinking whiskey like he didn't single-handedly destroy her entire existence. And worse? He's staring.

Like he wants to eat her alive.

She should run, but then come his idiot sons. Complete freakshows.

Otto and Max.

Otto is all brawn, zero impulse control, a psycho with a chainsaw grin. Willa swears he gets off on making her scream. Max is quieter, smarter, but twice as fucked up. If Otto is a feral dog, Max is the one watching her sleep, planning her funeral, and picking out the music.

Brandon wants to own her.
Otto wants to break her.
Max? He just wants to keep her. Forever. Maybe in a basement.

So she plays along-smiles, obeys, acts like she isn't plotting their destruction. But the more time she spends with them, the harder it gets.

Because the Thornes might be completely, irredeemably insane... but maybe Willa is, too.

Dark. Possessive. Enchanting. She never believed fate could be this cruel. One day she was just an ordinary woman - independent, bright, and unafraid to speak her mind - and the next, she was bound by the silent command of a man who ruled not only a kingdom, but every heartbeat that dared to defy him. He was a King feared by many - arrogant, ruthless, and dangerously calm. His silence carried more power than any threat, and his gaze was enough to make the strongest men kneel. No one questioned him. No one dared to say no. Until she did. Their marriage wasn't born from love, but from power - a deal wrapped in deceit and sealed by force. She was meant to be his ornament, his queen in name only. But something inside her refused to bend completely. And that defiance, that flicker of fire in her eyes, became the one thing he couldn't control. He told her love was weakness. Yet every time she looked away, his possessiveness deepened. Every time she cried, his anger turned to obsession. He could destroy empires, but not the storm she brought into his heart. Trapped between duty and desire, she learns that every chain he places around her is not just to bind - but to protect. The palace walls whisper secrets, his touch hides unspoken fears, and every night she wonders: is she his prisoner, or his queen? A mysterious, darkly romantic tale of power, betrayal, and a love that blurs the line between dominance and devotion. Because when the King falls for his captive, the kingdom itself trembles. 👑

*UNDER EDITING* I approach him slowly, like a demon stepping out of the shadows to claim what's mine, adrenaline burning like gasoline in my veins. I then climb on him and put the knife on his throat uttering, "What would you say if I just slit your throat right now? Oh wait, you wouldn't say anything because you'd be dead." "What do you want?" he asks, looking like he's fed up with my antics. "Unzip your pants," I command, making sure he knows who's in charge. "No," he replies, flat and emotionless, as if he's already somewhere else entirely. I push harder, a little bit of blood trickling down his neck but no reaction from him. It shocks me that he doesn't care about his life. What the hell is wrong with this guy? As I zone out he whispers in my ear in a low chilly tone, "Next time you reach for your knife, I'll grab my gun." *** Kate is a dangerous, chaotic rebel, playing the innocent girl at home, but secretly wanting to drive men away-especially Josh, her mom's new boyfriend who's moved in with them. What he doesn't know is that she's planning to break him, making him beg for escape as she pushes him deeper into a web of psychological games. Even though Josh makes her feel things she shouldn't, she's determined to stick to her plan and make him run away-just like she did with all the others. She can't let herself slip. She won't. Josh, a mysterious lawyer with a dark past, seduced Kate's mom to get close to her, weaving himself into their lives in ways Kate never saw coming. Now, living under the same roof, he fights to maintain his composure, but Kate's twisted games ignite a darkness inside him he thought he had buried. She taunts him, daring him to lose control, but Josh isn't the prey. He's the predator. And when the time comes, he's going to make sure Kate regrets ever thinking she could win.

Thornes: Burnville

48 parts Ongoing Mature

Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Intense Taboo, Romantic Themes, Family Secrets, Burnville was a corpse on the coast, stinking of salt, fish-guts, and rot. Ten years in prison and Wayne Thorne stepped into another cage-faces all slack-jawed, eyes too close, cousins breeding cousins till the whole town looked born from the same busted womb. No TV, no phones, just rotting nets, sinking boats, druglords stacking bricks of poison in freezers that smelled like slaughter. Over it all, the cult's leader kept girls locked in cellars, fattened for trade, while the gold-toothed boss came grinning to claim them. That's where Wayne saw them. Burnville women that have been marked. The mongrels wanted to breed them hollow, the cult wanted their blood, the druglords already had them in his teeth-but they looked at Wayne like he might be the monster to tear them out. ⚠️ This one is 18+ only. It's meant to hurt, meant to break you a little. I won't draw a line for you this time. Step in if you dare... but don't expect to leave clean.
