They call me untouchable.
They call me beautiful, ethereal, cold. A goddess in red carpets, a devil in silk. Every whisper about me is dipped in envy or desire-but no one really knows me. They see a version of me on screens, in magazines, on the glowing stages of award shows. But me? The real me? She's buried deep, underneath the diamonds, the studio contracts, and the rehearsed smiles.
I play their games because I win them. I let men grovel and women fawn, but I don't care for either. Fame doesn't excite me. Money doesn't tempt me. Love? That's for people who don't know better.
And then I met him.
At Velvet-that opulent, suffocating cage of a nightclub. Where secrets are spilled like champagne and morals are left at the velvet rope.
He was the bouncer.
The bouncer.
Not a producer. Not a fashion mogul. Not some Harvard-educated billionaire with a jet and a yacht. Just a man-tall, broad-shouldered, arms like a Greek statue, and that cocky glint in his warm brown eyes that said, "I know you think you're better than me-and I don't give a damn."
His name is Caliver Nuevez.
Half Mexican. Half Filipino. One hundred percent walking trouble.
And somehow, impossibly, I couldn't stop thinking about him.
This isn't a love story, not the kind you're used to. It's a war. A war between who I was before him-and who I became after.
Because when a woman like me falls for a man like him...
Everything burns.

"I want to know who you really are" she said. "If you knew you would run" he said. "Shhh.. Just one more" he said as he kissed her lips and was so wrapped up with the innocence present in her eyes. "Hold me" she said looking deep into his eyes. "Don't leave me" she said. "I can't stay" he said. "Why are you leaving?" she asked crying.

Seductress
"How dare you? Ariana, how dare you?" I could feel the anger from his heart radiate through his ears. the tears that kept rolling down my cheeks were unstoppable. I knew I just hurt him beyond imagination. "I'm sorry Nick truly am." "After everything between us, I loved you, I fuckin trusted you. I did everything I could to make you happy and you you-" he cut himself off. He suddenly became extremely silent. Like he was thinking of forgiving me. Ha! Like that'll happen. "Leave." he said in a dangerously low voice I almost didn't hear it. "Leave!" he yelled and I heard it perfectly well this time. "Leave before I do something I'd regret for the rest of my life."

His Novacane
They don't warn you that power comes in lace and blood. By daylight, I am the girl mothers point at with pride - president of my sorority, top of my class, pearls and GPA polish. A future carved in ivy halls and legacy dreams. At night, I trade pearls for silk and champagne light. I dance under neon like sin made flesh, and men pay just to breathe the same air as me. A fantasy they can't afford. A secret they'll never own. Two worlds. Two kingdoms. Both mine - because I built myself sharp enough to rule them. And then he walked in. Romeo Vescari. A name this town whispers like a prayer they know God won't answer. The heir turned king of a mafia bloodline older than the gold veins in Valle Aureo's hills. He doesn't ask for loyalty - he absorbs it. Quiet, lethal, carved from discipline and violence, dressed in money and menace. People don't fear him because he kills. They fear him because he decides. And the night he found me - silk wrap slipping, diamonds biting my collarbone, a room full of men on their knees without ever kneeling - he didn't look at me like temptation. He looked at me like competition. Like he'd crash worlds to watch me notice him. Like he'd bleed if it meant I'd taste it. Sorority president by day. Pink Panthers' siren by night. I don't get claimed. I don't get chosen. I choose. But when his eyes met mine, something inside me shifted - not weak, not soft - just aware. There are monsters you run from. And then there are monsters you walk toward, just to see if they ruin you gently or burn the world instead. He was both.
Her Last Hope
Her POV: He was heartless, ruthless, cruel, calculating... there was not even one ounce of humanity in him-no trace of empathy or mercy, no place for love or kindness in his heart. He ruined me, humiliated me, crushed me... But he was powerful, strong, terrifying... no one dared to cross him or stand in his way. And so, I was left alone to bear the consequences of things I hadn't done. I promised I would avenge my dignity and my hard work, one way or another... But fate had other plans. He claimed that he loved me, but his actions revealed his true colors. And I- I never thought I was capable of hating someone so deeply, but I hated him with everything I had left in me. His POV: I was the king of the world-the most powerful man you'd ever meet. Cold and merciless, no one dared stand against me. Everyone sought my approval. They feared my wrath and worshipped my name. Everyone... except her. She was the woman who made my heart beat for the first time. The woman who looked past my power and saw the man beneath it. The only one who wanted nothing from me, while I wanted everything from her. But I couldn't blame her for despising me. Not after everything I had done. For the first time in my life, I was wrong. And I only realized it when it was too late. Still, I vowed-if she ever came back into my life, I would never let her go again. I never imagined I could love someone that much... but I loved her with everything I had.Complete![𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞 [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/366735281-256-k845863.jpg)

"𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤. 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐮𝐫." [Slow update] They say love feels like sunlight after winter. But no one warns you - sometimes, it burns. Sometimes, it scars. I never asked for obsession, for manipulation, or for love that feels like poison. He came like wildfire - raw, relentless, unapologetic. My first. My beautiful mistake. He was dangerous in the most beautiful way. Gentle with me, brutal with the world. Every moment with him was comfort laced with chaos. His love? Honey laced with venom - sweet, addicting, and lethal. He didn't cross lines. He erased them. In his madness, I mistook devotion. In cruelty, I saw protection. How do you run from someone who'd bleed to keep you breathing? He saw the cracks no one else noticed. Whispered promises in the dark. And a part of me clung to them. In his arms, the world ceased to exist. But the next storm didn't come with fire. It came in silence. He arrived like a shadow - watching, waiting, suffocating. He didn't touch me - not yet. But I felt him, like smoke in my lungs. He studied me. Then he moved. And when he did, everything changed. He didn't want to love me. He wanted to rewrite me. His silence screamed louder than words. He wanted me to destroy myself for him. Now, I'm torn between two kinds of insanity: One who would ruin the world to protect me. Another who would ruin me to make me his world. And I can't tell the difference anymore. They circle me like wolves, each calling it love. But love was never meant to feel like this. Was it? I used to believe love was a gift. Now I know - it's a gamble. A bloody one. And in this game of obsession and betrayal, I'm no longer sure who the real villain is. Because when both players would kill you for love... What does that make you?
