She was fire wrapped in attitude, a secret he'd sworn never to touch- his best friend's little sister. Off-limits. Untouchable. Forbidden. And yet... She was a temptation he couldn't resist. He was the silence she wrote love letters to at fifteen and the man she now burned for in every glance. In a world that demanded control, they were the chaos neither could contain. He kissed like regret. She loved like war. And when hearts like theirs collide, someone's bound to shatter.
Bed of Lies
They broke her trust. They broke his mind. Now the past is back-and this time, it wants blood. Victoria learned early how to survive in silence. Grief became her shadow. Guilt, her constant companion. Because if she had died that night instead of her mother... maybe everything would have been different. But the past doesn't stay buried, and when it drags her back into a world she barely escaped, silence won't save her anymore. Xavier learned how to disappear behind scars, rage, and the monster his past made him. A man shaped by violence, and driven by retribution. Victoria was everything he should avoid- soft yet unyielding, broken but still standing. She had the kind of pain that mirrored his own. She saw too much, pushed too far and worst of all, she made him remember something he buried a long time ago. He hated it. Hated her. Because she made him feel. What exists between them isn't gentle. It isn't safe or healing. It destroys. And when the truth comes for them both, they'll have to decide: Run. Burn. Or destroy everything in their path.Complete

The marriage she once dreamed of turned into a cage lined with silence, hatred, and broken promises.

A wound so deep that even love starts tasting like poison. 👑 A ruthless CEO who can't let go. 🔥 Enemies-to-lovers. Forced marriage. Royal secrets.

She was shattered, her past erased by pain, her voice stolen by trauma. He was a ruler-not just of politics but of the shadows where justice was a debt paid in blood. Ruthless to those who took justice for granted, yet never cruel to the innocent. At an early age, he learned one truth-power commands justice. Without it, you're nothing. That night, their worlds collided. He found her-battered, nameless, drowning in silence. He should've walked away. But something about her... felt familiar. A forgotten memory. A name lost in time. A connection buried beneath scars. She had no past she was willing to share. He had a childhood he never let go of. But fate doesn't ask for permission-it rewrites the story in the most ruthless ways. Some scars don't just heal... they reveal. And when the truth surfaces, will it mend what was lost or destroy them both? A story of pain, justice and an unexpected love that blooms in the darkest places.
She was fire wrapped in attitude, a secret he'd sworn never to touch- his best friend's little sister. Off-limits. Untouchable. Forbidden. And yet... She was a temptation he couldn't resist. He was the silence she wrote love letters to at fifteen and the man she now burned for in every glance. In a world that demanded control, they were the chaos neither could contain.
