He bought her body.
She took his name.
Then she buried him with it.

Lily Hawkins was sold to a monster in a suit.
On their wedding night, she didn't cry-she planned.
By morning, Viktor Orlov was dead, and his empire belonged to his widow: Ivy Orlov.

Now, she's not just a name. She's a force.
With blood money, broken survivors, and a mission to erase men like Viktor from existence, Ivy builds La Dentata-a women-only cult disguised as an elite training sanctuary.

But revenge breeds ghosts. And power doesn't come without a price.

As her empire grows, Ivy is torn between the vengeance that fuels her... and the man from her past who threatens to melt the ice she forged her crown from.

He still calls her Lily.
The world fears her as Ivy.

𝐒𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐘 || ✍︎︎ by _iinknpaper

𝐂𝐄𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄 built herself out of glass and fire, sharp enough to cut, bright enough to be seen. Once the head of a rising empire, she now wakes to find her name stripped from the company she created, her life reduced to contracts and control she never agreed to. But she doesn't break; she plots. Every breath becomes strategy, every silence a step toward taking back what's hers. The only problem is the man standing in her way, the same one she can't seem to stay away from. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐀𝐌𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐈 learned early that love was a weapon and obedience the price of survival. Behind his charm lies temper, behind his control lies ruin. He's the son of a man who built kingdoms on blood, and he's spent his life trying not to become him. But when she enters his world, she threatens everything he thinks he understands about power, loyalty, and the quiet hunger he can't seem to kill. ꨄ -#1 in #billionare - 22/08/23 -#3 in #storytelling -14/11/23 -#1 in #girlboss - 06/11/23 -#1 in #stalker - 08/11/23 -#5 in #daddyissues - 21/02/24 -#5 in #arrangedmarriage - 04/07/24

Wedded In Mafia by itsthegiaera

Damian Russo was a man who knew loss. After the tragic death of his beloved Sophia, he buried his heart in ice, unwilling to feel again. But his father had other plans-grief wasn't an excuse in the mafia world. To secure their empire, Damian was forced into an arranged marriage with Natalia Kozlov, the fiery and untouchable daughter of the ruthless Russian mafia. From the moment they said "I do," their marriage was a warzone. She was his enemy. He was her captor. Over time, the lines between duty and desire blurred, and despite everything, they fell for each other in a way neither of them had ever imagined. She realized It wasn't hate she felt for Damian Russo. It was fire. When Natalia uncovered Damian's past, the man behind the monster, her own walls crumbled. And with them came the truth she had hidden her whole life. She wasn't a Kozlov at all. ***** Damian's eyes darkened, his lips curling into a smirk as he brushed a thumb over my trembling bottom lip. "Bite your lip," he murmured, her voice low and commanding. "Because once I start, you're going to forget how to breathe." ****** ********************************** (Match Made In Mafia #Book3) WEDDED IN MAFIA contains explicit language, intense action, and heavy smut. There are dark themes of betrayal, abuse, power struggles, and trust issues. The side characters bring in BxB drama in the later chapters, adding depth, emotional conflict, and even more chaos to the story. READER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.

Bruised Hearts, Gentle Hands by darkssole

She was sold to the highest bidder-a man cloaked in silence and rumors, the kind of man girls like Lina Serrano are warned about. Adrian Moretti didn't buy her to break her. He bought her because she looked at the world like it hadn't already taken everything from her. Lina was supposed to be quiet, obedient, afraid. Instead, she sketches monsters with kind eyes, wanders his halls like she belongs, and asks him questions he hasn't let himself answer in years. He doesn't touch her. He doesn't raise his voice. But every word he speaks chips away at the walls she built to survive. She was meant to be a transaction. Instead, she becomes his undoing. In a world of blood, power, and unspoken pain, what begins with bruised hearts may just end in gentle hands-and a love worth burning everything down for. Trigger warnings: Past trauma, emotional recovery, references to violence (non-graphic), slow burn, safe but dangerous man.

Fatal Alliances [✓] by authormnira

[18+] MATURE CONTENT ⚠️ "I'm going to need you to use your words and tell me verbally." He reiterated. "Yes." I said weakly. "Yes, of course I understand."

But where there's love, there's bound to be chaos and tragedy. Not everything is fair in love and war after all.

Nocturne 18+ by rosa_lidia

COMPLETED✔️ What follows is a violent clash of worlds, where elegance is destroyed by brutality and innocence is trapped by a darkness far deeper and more dangerous than anything she imagined. Her dream of becoming the greatest ballerina, praised by her parents and supported by a loving friend was once the perfect vision of her life. But fate with its cold indifference doesn't follow the paths we choose. Instead it controls our lives. In one sudden turn her world is flipped upside down and she meets a man who is nothing like the one she dreamed of. He is ruthless, consumed by his own ego, a mystery to all who encounter him. His abilities are beyond comparison, his morals fractured and ambiguous, and his true intentions buried beneath a veil of darkness. Where once she believed her life was guided by passion and elegance, she now finds herself thrust into a world governed by dominance and brutality, where survival no longer hinges on talent or grace but on submission to a far more unforgiving force.

Yours To Keep | 18+ by akawaiiisan

~MATURE CONTENT WARNING~ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ One plan. One mission. There was no room for mistakes, and the slightest error could only mean death. But she was ready. It was simple. Get in, (brutally) murder one man and get out, expeditiously. Lola Summers knew exactly what she had to do. It was a task she spent the better quarter of her life preparing for. It was her life's goal. And she would stop at nothing to achieve that goal... even if it involved taking a calulated risk in the heat of the moment. Initially...Lola knew that taking risks, even if it helped her goal, was self sabotage. Overlooking those risks would be disastrous, and being unprepared for anything was suicide. In the heat of that moment, Lola hadn't for once considered any outside intrusion. She hadn't fully prepared for being seen, and most importantly, she wasn't prepared for being caught. More specifically... being caught by a man who had hesitated to kill her on the spot for what she'd done. A very strange man who made her shiver at the slightest touch and could disarm her with one penetrative gaze. A very peculiar man who wasn't very interested in letting her go either.
