Thalia Langley vanished ten years ago-just another pregnant teenager swallowed by the dark, clutching a secret that could get her killed. Now, she lives on the fringes, raising her daughter in silence, always running, always hiding. Because monsters don't stay buried forever. Hers wears a Russian name-and a bloodstained legacy.
Then he finds her.
A man with a storm in his eyes and ruin in his hands. He drinks whiskey like water and leans on drugs like crutches, a fragile framework holding back the chaos he barely contains. His voice is smoke and broken glass, his touch too rough to be kind, and his eyes-those wild, ocean-blue eyes-burn with a madness Thalia isn't sure she wants to join.
He sees through her lies. Watches her like prey. And he doesn't ask questions-because he already knows too much.
She knows he's not safe.
But danger has a heartbeat, and it's starting to sound like his.
Now the Russians are circling, the past is breaking through the walls she built, and the man who shouldn't care is the only one who sees her. If he finds out what she's hiding-who she's protecting?
It won't just be her soul that's devoured.
It'll be everything.

Dangerous Affection
Love was never in Natalia Santos' vocabulary. Scarred inside and out by a childhood of abuse, she's built her life on survival, not trust. The military gave her purpose, but not peace. Civilian life only reminded her that people will always judge the marks on her face, never the strength behind them. When her brother pulls her into the dangerous world of the Moretti crime family, Natalia swears she won't let herself get attached. Especially not to him-Derek Moretti. Cold. Calculated. Powerful. A man who sees everything, and trusts no one. What begins as necessity soon feels like belonging. Yet in the world of power and blood, love is the most dangerous risk of all. And when Natalia starts to realize Derek might be the one man who sees her for who she truly is, she'll have to decide if she can let herself fall... or if love will destroy her the way it destroyed her father. A fierce heroine. A ruthless mafia boss. An enemies-to-lovers story where loyalty is tested, scars become symbols of strength, and love might be the most lethal weapon of all. **I UPDATED WEEKLY!** All rights reserved. Do not copy my work.

The Way He Saw Her
He wasn't supposed to see her again. Not after everything burned to ashes, not after he buried that part of his life deep beneath Moscow's frozen silence. But one glimpse-just one-through the blur of city traffic, and she was there. Her face, a memory he never managed to forget. Her eyes, the ghost that still kept him awake. For years, he's watched her from afar-quietly, carefully, dangerously. Not out of love. Not entirely. Because sometimes obsession doesn't start with desire-it starts with a memory that refuses to fade. And now that he's back... she's about to learn that some ghosts never stop following you. He's the kind of man you notice twice - once because you feel his presence before you see him, and again because you wish you hadn't. Born in Russia, the heir of the Morozov legacy. Mikhail Morozov, raised in silence and scars, he learned early that the world doesn't reward softness. He speaks little, but when he does, his words cut clean - precise, deliberate, dangerous. He moves like someone who's always calculating, never surprised. The kind of man whose calmness makes you uneasy. There's something about him that doesn't belong anywhere - not in the light, not in love, not even in the life he's trying to rebuild. But the moment he saw her again, everything he had buried began to surface. The danger, the desire, the memories - all of it. Now, he's not chasing her. He's remembering her... and that might be even worse.
Underworld - The SurReal side
What happens when deepest desires become one's way of life? Behind the darkness lies a world that one isn't familiar with or so they think. A fantasy.... That's what it looks like.... But one would not be able to guess the reason behind its existence. The line that exists between the two worlds slowly disappears when the rules and secrets lose their purpose. FEAR, RULES and CONSEQUENCES... they make this world. What happens when the flow that exists in this world gets disrupted by a commoner who walks into it just for fun? What happens when the same person meets the one person they were not supposed to? Some things are meant to be untouched. Some secrets are meant to be in the dark. Some people are meant to be unseen. 💯Author's note💯: This story is purely based on creativity and imagination. Although the details hold reality to them, the story does not promote the activities or incidents that occur. Please do remember that it's only for entertainment purposes and do not encourage any other underlying intentions. Also, the story is for mature audience. There are scenes that are recommended for age groups above 18 but I would suggest above 21 to be ideal.

But if you still want to go ahead, then I would be glad to welcome you guys to read it. But please don't leave hate because of the mature scenes. Thank you.Complete
