Andrèas Mèrcei-the 23-year-old CEO of Mèrcei Opulence-is more than just a businessman. He is a force of nature. With piercing eyes that hold secrets untold, a chiseled jawline sculpted by fate itself, and a presence that commands any room, he is the embodiment of power wrapped in effortless charm.

His wealth is staggering, his intelligence razor-sharp, and his influence stretches beyond boardrooms into the most elite circles. Mèrcei Opulence, his empire, is a luxury unlike any other-catering to the worlds starting off business. Everything he touches turns to gold.

But beneath the tailored suits, the fast cars, and the effortless confidence, there's a darkness that shaped him. A tragic past-one that left scars too deep to fade. 
 Scars he left, that might of been too deep to fade.. Once, love was stolen from him, a dark past led by his father and innocence lost in a cruel twist of fate. He knows pain, and how to inflict it. He knows loss. And maybe that's why he is the way he is.

Unlike the men who took advantage of the women he once loved, Andrèas is different.. became different. He treats women not just with admiration but with reverence. He listens. He protects. He loves-deeply, unconditionally. To him, women are not trophies, not playthings, but goddesses deserving of devotion. When he loves, he loves fiercely, passionately, completely but this side will only show for the right women, until then..

love is dangerous. Love makes him vulnerable. And for a man with enemies in the shadows, vulnerability is a weakness he cannot afford.

"Please," I whisper, my voice trembling as tears prick the corners of my eyes. "Please don't hurt me." The words barely escape my throat, fragile and desperate. He studies me for a moment, tilting his head slightly, almost as if he's amused by my plea. Then he scoffs, the sound sharp and mocking. "Why would I want to do that?" he murmurs, his voice smooth but carrying a dark undertone that chills me. He takes a step forward, and instinctively, I step back. "I've just found you..." He pauses, his gaze dragging over my face like a predator sizing up its prey. "And now you're mine." Aurora Evans leads a life of simplicity. Eat, work, sleep-her unchanging regimen is her sanctuary, and she has no intention of altering it. But what unfolds when a shadowy figure, lurking beyond her windows, takes an insidious interest in her? One glance at her in a café ensnares him, rendering him captivated, his singular ambition becoming clear: to claim her as his own. Aurora's attempts to escape his shadowy games are futile, especially in the cloak of night when he emerges, weaving his spell under the cover of darkness. He teases, entices, and pushes her perilously close to her breaking point. Her resolve is to distance herself as much as possible. Yet, fate has a cruel sense of irony. When she is abruptly dismissed from her previous job, she unwittingly lands a position working for him-as his assistant-entangling her in a web she can no longer evade. *A STALKER ROMANCE* #1 in "assistant" 12/23/24 #1 in "criminal" 3/8/25

"I can show how much of a 'little' guy I am." He said emphasizing the little. He came closer to me. Our lips were inches away. I could smell the scent of his cologne definitely not cheap. My breathing became uneven. "What's wrong princess? Cat got your tongue" He stroked my cheek. I leaned into his touch but he removed it. He pulled away grabbing another glass. I let out a breath. I turned around. Guess I have to do this the hard way. I leaned near to his ear. He tensed. "Teasing me is only making me wet. Imagine you inside me. Screaming your name. I guess you don't want that." I said seductively. I kissed his ear. I walked toward the hallway by the bar leading to different rooms. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Adelina Madden is a 28-year-old who got fired from her job.

Elena Morales, a 24-year-old Afro-Latina woman with a caramel complexion, striking brown eyes, and long curly hair, has always been focused on survival. With her petite yet curvy frame, she's a vision of beauty and warmth, though she often feels out of place in a world that values wealth and privilege. When she's offered a live-in nanny position for billionaire CEO Victor DeLuca's 4-year-old son, it seems like a chance to finally build the life she's dreamed of. Victor DeLuca, at 38, is as cold and calculated as he is devastatingly handsome. A man who built his empire with an iron will, Victor has never allowed himself to love again-not since his former wife, Camilla, shattered his heart with her betrayal. Tall, blonde, and model-thin, Camilla represented everything Victor thought he wanted, but her infidelity left him scarred and unwilling to trust. That is, until he saw Elena. Months before offering her the job, Victor became captivated by Elena's kindness and fiery spirit during a chance encounter. Her warmth was the antithesis of the icy betrayal he had endured, and for the first time in years, he felt something stir in him-an obsession he could neither control nor resist. As Elena becomes part of his world, caring for his son Matteo and bringing light into his mansion, Victor's walls begin to crumble. He's drawn to her in ways that scare even him, and his obsessive desire grows with every passing day. But when Elena discovers the truth-that Victor orchestrated her hiring to keep her close-she's forced to confront the intensity of his feelings and decide if she can trust the man who holds her future in his hands.

"Shhhh," he cut me off, his palms spreading on the revealed skin of my abdomen. His index fingers made their way into the waistband of my sweatpants as he pressed his front closer to my behind. "Don't shush m-" I tried to argue. "I said so," he stated, his tone going deeper as his hand went lower, this time to the waistband of my panties. I couldn't control my breathing anymore, more so as his teeth lightly grazed my neck. "So you better obey." ^^^^^^^ They say "A night in Vegas can change your life." Rachel didn't think this saying would apply to her. Well that was until she opened the door of her hotel room after a crazy night out. As a marriage certificate is shoved in her face, she notices a glistening diamond on her ring finger. The piece of paper turns out to be legit as stated by the lawyer who presented it. What's more shocking is that her said husband is Lorenzo Caden Peters, one of the best actors in the world and soon to be CEO of the biggest textile company around the globe. How would their life turn out?
