Uncharted Hearts: meant to be, always.
Some games are too dangerous to play... especially when your heart is the prize. Ariana thought a transfer to a new university would mean a clean slate, a chance to leave behind old wounds and finally focus on her future. But the last thing she expected was him. Ivan Garcielle. Too confident, too powerful, too devastatingly handsome for his own good. The kind of man who walks into a room and owns it without saying a word. The kind of man Ariana swore she would never lose herself to. From the start, Ivan is a contradiction, infuriating yet magnetic, reckless yet controlled, a playboy who seems to notice far too much about her. He pulled her into a world of wealth, secrets. But no matter how hard she tries to keep her distance, the pull between them grows stronger... and far more dangerous than either of them imagined. What Ariana doesn't know is that Ivan has his own reasons for pulling her into his world, a dangerous game where the line between truth and lies blurs with every stolen glance. But the closer they get, the more dangerous their connection becomes, until love itself feels like the most reckless gamble of all. And once the truth is finally, uncovered, nothing will ever be the same again. In a place where loyalty can cut deeper than betrayal, and love feels as perilous as revenge, Ariana must decide if trusting Ivan will save her, or destroy her. Fun fact: Some of this story's most intense moments were polished with a little help from AI. But every secret, every idea, every heartbreak, every twist? 100% mine so please read it. Thank you 😊

A frown made it's way onto my face as I looked at the mysterious man who refused to tell me who he is. He stood tall in front of me as we fell into silence again but only for a few seconds before he began to slowly move towards me.

Marked By The Devil
Aria thought she had it all figured out when she ran away from home with nothing but a promise of a bright future alongside her high school sweetheart. The small-town girl, eager for escape saw only a horizon full of hope and love. But the dream quickly turned to dust after they married. The man she thought she knew became someone unrecognizable, and the life they built together turned into a nightmare. Trapped and suffocated by a world of deceit and danger, Aria found herself fleeing for her life, heartbroken and desperate. With nowhere else to turn, she made her way back to the only place she thought might offer some kind of safety-her father's motorcycle gang. The very gang she had sworn to leave behind when she left home all those years ago. But things were different now. The world she once knew had changed, and so had she. As she returned to the grimy, gritty world of her father's ruthless empire, Aria found herself face-to-face with the one man who could make everything even more complicated: Reaper. Reaper's cold, lethal eyes seemed to pierce through her, seeing past the carefully constructed facade she'd built to escape her past. It was as if he knew every secret she was running from, every lie she'd told herself to survive. Aria couldn't shake the feeling that he was not just a threat, but something far more dangerous. Was she merely prey in his eyes, another piece of the puzzle he was piecing together, or was there something more? Something darker, more captivating, that drew her into his orbit. With each encounter, the tension between them grows, and Aria begins to wonder if the price of safety might come with a far greater cost-one that could pull her deeper into a world of violence, power, and secrets she's not sure she's ready to face. But as the lines blur between hunter and hunted, Aria's past may just catch up with her in ways she never imagined, and Reaper could be the only one who truly understands the darkness she's trying to escape.Complete
