Nell, 28, runs a charming little bakery/coffeeshop tucked away on a quiet city street, where the scent of cinnamon and coffee fills the air, and strangers become stories. Her life is simple, built from sugar-dusted routines and guarded smiles, until the day he walks in.

John, 34, is polished, magnetic, and clearly not from around here. He becomes a regular overnight, drawn to the warmth of her café, and something else he can't quite name. What Nell doesn't know is that he's a millionaire hiding from a life he no longer recognizes. And that's not the only secret he's keeping.

As their worlds begin to intertwine through stolen glances and shared silences, the lines between right and wrong, past and present, sweet and bitter begin to blur.

What begins with a cup of coffee slowly unravels into something neither of them saw coming, a romance built on half-truths, aching hearts, and a connection that just might rewrite everything.

But love, like pastries, is fragile. And when the truth finally crumbles, nothing will ever be the same again.

Love Spilled Like Coffee  by lunarawrites
22 parts Complete
Damian Blackwood is a man who has everything-wealth, power, and an unshakable reputation as a ruthless CEO. Love? He never believed in it. To him, emotions were distractions, and relationships were nothing more than business transactions. But everything changes one morning when he accidentally spills coffee on a stranger at a café. Ella Carter, with her soft eyes and warm smile, isn't like the people he's used to. She doesn't fawn over his status or try to impress him. Instead, she simply cleans the mess, gives him a polite nod, and walks away-leaving him utterly captivated. For fifteen days, Damian returns to the café at the same time, just to see her from afar. He doesn't know why. He doesn't even know her name. But something about her makes his carefully controlled world feel unsteady. Then fate takes control. Ella walks into Blackwood Enterprises for an interview, only to realize the man from the café-the one who had been haunting her thoughts-is her new boss. Damian is thrilled but keeps his emotions locked away, offering her the job with a professional mask. As they spend more time together, the tension between them grows. Damian finds himself breaking his own rules, drawn to the warmth and kindness Ella brings into his cold, calculated world. Ella, in turn, sees glimpses of the man beneath the powerful CEO-one who's afraid to love, but even more afraid of losing her. Will Damian finally let go of his fears and embrace the love he never believed in? Or will his hesitation cost him the one thing he never knew he needed? A heartfelt, slow-burn romance about fate, unexpected love, and the power of simple moments that change everything.

Florence never expected her ordinary life to become a wedding dowry. Traded by her father to secure a dangerous alliance, Florence finds herself engaged to Hades Williams-a ruthless man who commands respect through fear and controls his empire from the shadows. He's devastatingly handsome, but there's blood on his hands and darkness in his soul. Their marriage is a business transaction in his violent world. No emotions. No intimacy. Just a contract that keeps enemies at bay and strengthens his power-or so they tell themselves. But Florence isn't the innocent pawn everyone expects her to be. Raised by herself in a world that showed no mercy, she's learned that survival means being sharper than the knife at your throat. She doesn't want his blood money, his fortress of a mansion, or his lethal protection. She just wants to be more than a pretty face to clean up his brutal reputation. Hades thought he was getting a naive wife to play the perfect mafia princess. Instead, he got a woman who doesn't flinch at broken glass or shattered bones, who sees through his cold facade, and who refuses to be just another casualty in his war against his own father's empire. As their worlds collide in a storm of violence and vendetta, they'll discover that some bonds are forged in fire and blood-and that sometimes the most dangerous thing you can do is fall for someone in a world where love makes you a target. When love meets the mafia world, will it bloom into something beautiful-or will it destroy everything they've fought to protect? Florence & Hades - In a marriage built on lies and violence, can their hearts survive the bloodbath?
