The world has given her nothing but pain, and she's done fighting. But just when she's ready to let go, 𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴-an unexpected force who dares to get in her way. He doesn't try to fix her. He simply stays, giving her a reason to breathe, a flicker of confidence she thought she lost forever.
She lets him in. And in doing so, he thinks he's saving her.

NEXUM (18+)
𝐍𝐄𝐗𝐔𝐌'𝐒 𝐆𝐔𝐈𝐃𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐓𝐎𝐓𝐀𝐋 𝐑𝐔𝐈𝐍 𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱 She's the city's top model. Seen by everyone. Known by no one. She survives by keeping her past sealed tight- every bruise, every secret, every ugly truth locked behind elegance and restraint. Her life is a performance, and she never misses a step. Until she slips... ...and falls straight into the orbit of the man she was taught to despise most. One reckless act- done under the guise of a false persona- sets something irreversible in motion. A line is crossed. A fire is sparked. And the illusion of distance between them shatters. That night leaves her with a hangover, and a realization she can't escape. You don't have to die to go to hell. Some men bring it right to you. He is power without conscience. A presence felt more than seen. The devil everyone fears. She is a mess dressed in designer. A voice that refuses to be silenced. The angel everyone envies. Logic says they should never align. That their worlds, their loyalties, and their sins are fundamentally opposed. Nexum says there couldn't be a better fit. 𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱𝐱 𝐁𝐞𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐚𝐥 𝐇𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐧 @xplicitlyvenus 2025, all rights reserved

Sorrow | 18+
A tale of two sorrowful souls who crossed paths due to a trivial coincidence. His eyes will forever ravish her, his lips will leave eternal marks and one word will haunt her until she dies. She has learnt to be quiet and sweet. He has learnt to dominate and kill. She is trying to find herself from the depths of distray. He is planning to destroy what is needed for power. Falling in love will be too dangerous, too alluring. And in the end it will hurt. Breathing should be effortless, loving should be painless. What does a girl who has learned neither? When you find home in the arms of a killer, to whom you cannot tell your secrets, without risking yourself. And why would you risk anything for a man who believes bullets can fix a broken heart.Complete

Their eyes met again and she leaned in this time, closing the space between them. The kiss came gentle, like neither of them needed to prove anything, but just feel one another. His hand found her waist, and her fingers tangled in the hem of his hoodie, grounding herself in him. When they pulled apart, she whispered, "You're not alone, Zyairis." He touched his forehead to hers, smiling lazily. "Not when you around, I'm not." ▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅ 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘍𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘴, 𝘢 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘰𝘶𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴, 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘣𝘰𝘺 𝘤𝘭𝘰𝘢𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘪𝘯 𝘴𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘪𝘯.
