...He watched me before I knew his name. He loved me before I ever looked his way. And by the time I saw the monster behind the green eyes... it was already too late.
Evangeline Cross is a 21-year-old university student with a pout, a pink wardrobe, and a trail of broken hearts behind her. She's sweet. Soft. Bratty. The kind of girl who always gets her way - whether it's with a pout, a tear, or a smirk.
But someone's watching.
Damian Valez doesn't do softness. At 32, he's the ruthless head of a criminal empire-cold, calculated, and violently possessive. He's feared. Worshipped. Deadly. But he's never wanted anything the way he wants her. And once his eyes land on Evangeline, he decides one thing:
She will be his.
She doesn't know it yet.
But he's already killed for her.
As their worlds collide in a storm of lust, manipulation, jealousy, and blood, Evangeline will learn just how far Damian will go to keep her by his side.
And the scariest part?
She might not want to run.
This is where love isn't soft - it's brutal. And obsession isn't just a game. It's war.

A walking paradox with a face carved by gods and a soul damaged by demons. A notorious playboy who takes pleasure in breaking girls, shredding hearts like paper-because he believes every girl is a liar in disguise. Until Aurora. She doesn't look at him like he matters.

His hand slithered to back of my neck and pulled me closer. "You made me like this, you turned me into this, you made me love you even when it seemed fucking impossible." "You don't love me." It came out harsher than I expected. "This is you manipulating me, using me into getting what you want." His eyes narrowed. "Is that what you think?" "Yes." His thumb smoothly rubbed my neck in a circular motion. I breathed in. "Do you love me?" His gaze remains on mine. "If I loved you, then our love would be a sin, that led to chaos, betrayal and death." I spat. "If our love is a sin, then let us be punished together." ------ In a world built on secrets and sin, love is the most dangerous betrayal of all. ------ 𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 ⚠️ ~ 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐨𝐧

Strawberry
A scent. A scar. A slow-burning fucking romance dressed as nostalgia. It started with a fruit. Not love, not sex - a goddamn strawberry. The kind that looks like it's been kissed by every shade of red your childhood never had. He didn't share it. Didn't speak of it. Just tasted it once, and carried the ache ever since. Years later, she walked in - smelling exactly like that forgotten sweetness. Not perfume. Not fantasy. Just... truth. Sharp, quiet, terrifying truth. The kind that crawls under your skin and whispers remember me when you least want to. He lied to her face. About himself. About the million ways he'd already started unraveling. But she knew. Women like her always know. She stared at him like sin dressed in judgment - and touched his wrist like she already owned his pulse. And he? He was fucked. Because she wasn't just beautiful. She was red. That memory. That craving. And no matter how much he pretended to be in control - she was already in his bloodstream. This isn't a love story. It's a slow possession. By scent. By memory. By her. And it ends exactly how it starts - with him on his knees, and her smelling like fucking strawberries.Complete
