Complete, First published Jun 16, 2025
She was just a maid. He was the man with a gun. In a world built on lies, loyalty is a loaded weapon.

When Catalina accepted a job in Pablo Escobar's house, she thought she'd found safety - a roof over her head, a way to survive. But nothing is ever safe when the walls breathe secrets and the floorboards echo with violence. One invitation changed everything. One night stripped her of her innocence.

Now hiding in Javier Peña's apartment, Catalina discovers that surviving the cartel was just the beginning. Javier is cold, sharp, and broken in ways she can't yet understand. And though he keeps her close, he guards his heart like the classified files on his desk.

But danger doesn't knock - it breaks the door down. And as truths unravel, Catalina must decide what hurts more: the bullets flying outside or the silence growing between them.

In a world where every choice is fatal, what do you do when your heart becomes the most dangerous place of all?

My love for a Tomboy.  by JessicaValeria355
21 parts Ongoing
Who does Enrique fall for? His sharp-tongued, brilliant secretary... or the fearless, dangerously attractive biker who humiliated him on the track? What he doesn't know is they're the same woman - and he's already hopelessly obsessed with both. ***** "Hermosa ¿no" (beautiful, isn't it?) Those words, low and smooth, froze me in place. Every muscle in my body went taut, my heartbeat pounding like festival drums. But it wasn't just the voice or the words that sent every hair on my body on salute mode. It was the scent. Musk. Wood. A faint thread of chocolate and alcohol. A fifteen-thousand-dollar cologne I'd only ever smelled on two men in my life-my oldest brother... and the man whose ass I'd recently whipped at The Den. My love for a Tomboy is a classic case of double lives colliding. Lara Mendes - Mexican, wild at heart, one of the fastest underground bikers in Toronto. Determined to carve her own path in the cooperate world, she lands a job at a multimillion dollar company called "Matías Group." But as faith would have it, is appointed as the personal assistant to her nemesis: Enrique Matías, the cold, commanding CEO of Matías Group. Now Lara has to balance it all - late-night races, high-stakes office politics, and keeping her true identity hidden as Toronto's top female racer. ***** This is a story of wit, charm, wild fire, and dangerously flirtatious banter - an emotional rollercoaster of rivalry, temptation, and the kind of romantic tension and yarning that burns slow and hits hard.

My tears drop on the diamonds already stained with my blood. His thumb strokes my cheek and removes a strand of my disheveled hair. -It's okay, Pea. It's over. His lips find mine. His kiss is soft at first, to comfort me. Then it gets more intense, possessive. Our eyes meet. His are burning. -I will never let anyone hurt you again. I promise. You are mine and mine only, Cassiopea Medina. ****** In rural Colombia, Cassiopea is just starting her young adult life. She wants to leave behind a poor and unstable family to live an easy life. She gets an unexpected offer from the boss of the local cartel. To get married to him and be the stepmother of his three sons. The twist? He already has a lover. How will the life of a cartel leader's wife treat Cassiopea? ****** Author's notes The story is written with the first-person POV of a young 19-year-old woman. I tried my best not to let my (older) brain made her sound too mature for her age... There are scenes of violence, death, domestic abuse, alcoholism and sexual content, please be advised. In chapters with * there will be mature content. Also, I had a hard time choosing the male lead character... At the end, the story flow and the characters decided for me. So, if you are up for a little game, try finding this ML before he reveals himself! Finally, English is not my native language. I'm sorry if you find grammatical mistakes. Don't hesitate to let me know! Ranking #1 cartel (2025-12-19) #2 colombia (2025-12-01) #3 bodyguard (2025-12-21) #5 fight for survival (2025-12-01)

Guns, revenge and buildings to bomb, what could go wrong? ✮ He came in, gun held out in front of him in one hand while the other was resting on his hip where a sharp dagger gleamed in the light. "Come on out little girl, why not make this easier for both of us. The agency you ran away from just want to have a little talk, that's all." She scoffed internally. Yeah right. Then the footsteps ceased. She peeked to the right, then to the left. Neither direction showed any sign of the intruder. She looked up in front of her and gasped, the glint of steel and smell of death as overwhelming as it was adrenaline inducing, exciting. "Boo." ✮ Murder, accidents, assassinations. Call it what you will, it's all the same, all has the same life breaking, mind shattering consequences - be it for the victim or the bystander. It had shaped Alex in a way no one should be. Broken down and rebuilt into the perfect soldier, one who had the power to change the world, to fight battles that would either make or break the carefully constructed vision we all live in. The only small, minute, really unimportant detail - it's pretty hard to get into a government classified site when you're 15 years old and have a rag-tag team of double-crossing back-stabbers behind you. Not to mention the threat of a world war and ghost hanging above your head. Armed with sarcasm, wit, and a hell of a lot of aggressive intentions, it won't be too long till a sticky situation is all that's ahead of you. Sometimes, running head-first into a situation isn't the best idea. Instead, you gotta play a game. A deadly game where either you have all the pieces on the board, or you have nothing. [previously known as Espionage: double-cross] Thanks for reading :)

[+18] Lyanna Morgan has always been good at hiding the truth-until the truth puts her on the edge of a courtroom and face to face with a man who sees through everything. Javier Peña isn't the kind of lawyer who asks questions. He doesn't care about innocence. Only control. Strategy. Winning. But something about her ruins that. What begins as strategy spirals into a dangerous obsession-one laced with control, defiance, and a kind of desire that doesn't play fair. In the courtroom, they're fighting for her freedom. Behind closed doors? He's teaching her what it means to be owned. He was only supposed to help her. But she's going to be the only thing he can't let go of.
