LUX TENEBRIS
They called me a spoiled princess.
Said I didn't belong in their world of blood, velvet, and fire.
So I proved them wrong.
Lux Tenebris isn't just a circus-it's a front.
For heists. For shadows. For men who don't play fair.
Cassian is the ringmaster who commands with silence.
Rian and Jax fly without nets-and want me tangled between them.
Ezren throws knives with precision and pain.
Lucien makes illusions that touch too deep-and lie too well.
I came chasing freedom.
Now I'm the main act.
And they're falling for the girl who was never supposed to survive the show.
The spotlight belongs to me now.
And I don't plan to leave the stage.

Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture.

In His Shadows | 18+
I flickered my eyes as I could not see properly due to all the strain and stress. I could not make sense of the situation. I felt a sudden tug at my feet as I tried to pull them, realising that they were tied by the rope. My hands were free but there was a feeling of numbness in them. It was all so overwhleming and sudden for me that I felt like drowning in an ocean, where I did not want to be saved. The truth was in front of me and I didn't want to believe it. Sitting on the throne like chair in front of me was the person I trusted the most. My protector, my bodyguard, and now my captor. . . . I watched her opening her eyes slowly, trying to take in all the sitauation at once. My poor little doll, so fragile, so naive and innocent for this dark and dirty world, who has no idea that after years of being raised and treated like a fragile princess, she was now a part of this world, and I could not wait to break her. As her protector and her bodyguard, it would give me a sick pleasure in taking and ruining her. In His Shadows |18+| A Drak Romace Thriller
