"In a world of lies and deception, the most dangerous game is falling in love."

Celeste Valeria Anastasia Moretti was raised in the shadows of power. To the world, she is just a brilliant college student. But behind closed doors, she is the heir to a ruthless empire-trained to be both a weapon and a strategist. She plays the game well, hiding her deadly nature beneath elegance and wit.

Until Damian Alessandro Russo steps into her life.

Charming. Intelligent. Dangerous. A man who holds grudges like a religion. He moves like a king on the chessboard of crime, and Celeste? She's just another piece in his twisted game of vengeance.

Or so he thinks.

Because Celeste has her own secrets, her own reasons to destroy the man who seeks to manipulate her. What starts as a battle of power and control soon turns into something far more dangerous-an obsession, a seduction, and a war where the heart is the most treacherous weapon.

In the end, one of them will fall. The question is... who will survive the game?

Deception  by Joyfavouromeni
41 parts Complete Mature
Deception Ellie Brown has it all-beauty, power, and a legacy built on diamonds. As the CEO of Diamond Glow, she is the epitome of strength and success, but beneath her flawless exterior lies a heart weighed down by secrets, betrayals, and a family that sees her as both an asset and a rival. Her own brother harbors a grudge so deep that he vows to take everything from her. Her mother, ever calculating, demands a marriage that Ellie refuses to entertain. And then there's the past-buried truths that threaten to unravel everything she's built. Ryan Adams is a man living in the shadows of grief. Six years ago, he lost his sister and the woman he loved in a single, tragic moment. His father never forgave him. He never forgave himself. Now, drawn into a business deal with Ellie, he finds himself face-to-face with a woman who challenges him, intrigues him-and reminds him of everything he swore he'd never want again. Neither of them believes in love. Neither of them trusts easily. But when fate forces them into each other's orbit, tangled in a web of corporate battles, hidden enemies, and forbidden emotions, the line between business and desire begins to blur. But deception lurks in the shadows. The past is never truly buried, and the deeper they fall, the more dangerous the truth becomes. In a world where betrayal is currency and love is a liability, can two scarred souls defy the odds-or will the ghosts of their pasts tear them apart?

(PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS MY SOFT BOY) Valentina Anastasia Adamovich is no ordinary woman. The daughter of a feared Russian mafia kingpin, she inherited a legacy soaked in blood. Now, as the first female to ever command an army of ruthless, unpredictable men and women, she is a force to be reckoned with. Trained from birth to be a killing machine, she has the blood of a thousand lives on her hands. But the question remains: Can she carry out her next mission-or will her deadly instincts fail her? Dante Azzaro, the indomitable leader of the Italian mafia, is a man whose name strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it. Cold, calculating, and with one of the most powerful syndicates in the world at his disposal, Dante is a ruthless killer. When a striking woman-Valentina herself-suddenly crosses his path, even he is taken aback. But what happens when a deadly collision between them is inevitable? Not even he knows. When the Italian mafia finds itself compromised by a series of stolen shipments, Dante faces an impossible choice: ally with the Russians, or risk everything for revenge. Will he bend, or will he break? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ She aims her gun at me in an instant, and the men in the room draw their weapons, all pointing at her. She grabs the file, and turns her back on me, her heels clicking against the marble floor as she heads toward the door. I watch her walk away, her hips swaying like she's too damn comfortable in a place she shouldn't even be. I want to feel anger and irritation, but what I feel instead is something more dangerous something that I'm not ready to name. I've dealt with stubborn people before, but Valentina, she's a different breed. "Valentina," I call, keeping my voice controlled, like I'm not about to lose my mind over the mess I'm in. She doesn't stop. I didn't expect her to. She's too damn proud. MATURE CONTENT 18+

"𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩, 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚." Olivia groaned and crossed her arms, standing her ground. "Don't tell me what to do. You're not my dad." Amusement filled Santino's gaze as he stood up, abandoning the papers he desperately needed to read and sign. Yet, all that was forgotten as her bewitching lips protruded. "I might not be your dad but," a midnight lock of hair was pinned behind her ear, "I can be your papi." Shuddering, her body drew closer to him, betraying her mind. "You're sick." Taking the nape of her neck, Santino leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Yet you still dream about my touch, don't you, principessa?" ❦ When Santino Adriano discovers that the Bratva has betrayed their neutrality by secretly working with his family's enemies, he's determined to send a brutal message that cannot be ignored. His target? The Bratva kingpin's sister, Olivia Morozov-a sheltered girl who knows little to nothing about the dark underworld her family controls, having been shielded from the darker truths of her family's empire her entire life. Fresh out of boarding school and blissfully oblivious to the power struggle boiling beneath her feet, Olivia is suddenly whisked away from everything she's ever known and thrust into a world where loyalty is weaponised and power is the ultimate prize. As secrets and long-buried lies unravel around her, she realises she's caught in a game where the unrelenting fight for power holds more value than human lives-including her own. Santino is cold, calculating, and relentless - everything Olivia should fear. Yet, she is intrigued by by his deadly nature. The line between fear and attraction is thin, and like a moth to a flame, she seeks him out, unafraid of the burn it may cause. She's never known anyone like him-an older, dangerous man who makes her question everything she thought she knew about desire. Olivia just didn't expect her captor to be so handsome.
