Power. Hate. Obsession. Their kingdom was built on all three.
He rules with an iron fist--cold, calculating, untouchable. A king among pawns, feared by many, challenged by none. Except for her. The girl who refuses to kneel, the one with fire in her eyes and destruction in her smile. She is chaos wrapped in beauty, her laughter laced with venom, her touch laced with sin.
They should've been allies. Instead, they are enemies, locked in a war neither of them remembers starting. Their every glance is a battle, their every word a blade. But beneath the hatred, something darker simmers--something forbidden, twisted, and far too addictive.
The past is a web of lies. The present is a ticking bomb. And the future? There is no future when their love tastes like ruin and their hate feels like home.
Because the higher you rise, the harder you fall.
And when kings and queens wage war-their crowns aren't the only things that shatter.

THE CURSE - A Whispering Fiend
"How is it possible? A feral beast, dangerous than mine, lived under her skin. Her eyes- they were hollow and bleeding, yet she didn't scream her pain. The job was to never fall in love with her but to kill her." ~ Ocean "He is a pillar, something solid to lean against. Fierce, violent and unmoving, ready to fight for me when everybody I loved left me in the darkness. He told me not to apologize for the madness I possess, because it made me a warrior." ~Devi He loved her and she loved him but it wasn't that simple. The world didn't approve of their union even when the fates sew their souls together. She was a princess turned into the bringer of death and he was a prince protecting the world from her. She was the woman who regrets her birth, and he was the man born for her. [UPDATING SCHEDULE- Thursdays.]
TWISTED VOWS
A Dark Arranged Marriage Trilogy Silvya Ashbourne was born to be adored. A perfect doll with porcelain skin, green eyes sharp as glass, and a crown of blonde hair. Cold, cruel, untouchable-she ruled the halls of their private school with a smile like a blade. People worshiped her beauty, ignored her venom, and envied the throne she built on fear. Axel Hawthorne was born to be obeyed. The Hawthorne heir, ruthless even as a boy, with grey eyes like storm clouds and a voice that silenced rooms. A god to some, a devil to most. He fought, destroyed, and commanded, his name carrying the weight of England's richest, most feared family. Once, they were children raised on privilege and poison. Once, she mocked him when his family fell. Once, he swore he'd never forgive. Now, at twenty-two, they are bound by an arranged marriage meant to merge two empires. But Axel doesn't want peace-he wants revenge. And Silvya, sharp-tongued and unapologetic, refuses to bow. What begins as a war of hate spirals into something darker: a union of obsession, a love as twisted as the lies that ruined them, and a crown built on blood. Because the greatest betrayals don't come from enemies. They come from the ones who should have been family. He is the devil who burns empires. She is the doll who breaks chains. Together, they will either destroy each other... or rule the world. -- THIS IS BOOK1 OF THE HEIRS TRILOGY. THIS NOT A STANDALONE. -- "She ruined me once. Now I'll ruin her forever." --Complete

Pretty When You Beg
Once, I was the quiet boy who stood in her shadow. Hopelessly in love. Pathetic. Obsessed. She knew it- And she used it. She told me I "might" have a chance. Smiled while ripping me apart.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine."
