Prologue: The Crown & The Cage
The spotlight was a physical weight, warm and blinding, as the crown settled onto Ella's raven-dark hair. The roar of the Everstar City Grand Ballroom faded to a muffled hum beneath the frantic drumming of her own heart. *Beauty Queen of Everstar*. The title tasted like spun sugar and ashes. It meant escape from the cramped, damp apartment she shared with her ailing mother. It meant security. It meant the adoring gaze of Dr. Aris Thorne, heir to the Thorne Medical Dynasty, watching her from the front row with eyes like polished obsidian, filled with a possessive awe that had thrilled her... until tonight.
For as the diamond crown touched her brow, a different kind of light flared - unseen by the cameras or the cheering crowd. The towering glass skyscrapers visible through the ballroom's panoramic windows *pulsed*. Not with reflected city lights, but with an inner, ephemeral glow, like captured moonlight swirling within steel and chrome. Ella gasped, a sound lost in the applause. *She saw them.* The veins of Everstar's hidden magic.

Excerpt : "What's ya name sweetheart?" One of the oldest looking men in group asks, looking me up and down undressing me with his eyes. "Its Ella and I'm not your sweetheart." I say glaring at him. "Oh feisty ain't cha?" He questions like a prick stepping closer again. "Take one more step and I'll kick you where the sun doesn't shine." I threaten, holding my ground. He throws his head back laughing and then says, "As if, you're a tiny little thing." While taking another step, close enough for me to get him.

My Obsession #2
There's this silence between us that stretches longer than it should, and it wraps around my chest like a weighted blanket. My throat tightens. I stare at him like I'm trying to memorise the face of someone who shouldn't exist. A dream made real. My lips part before I can stop myself. "Were you sent by my dad to take care of me?" The question hangs in the air, trembling like the last leaf in autumn. Aiden's gaze softens. His lips tug into the gentlest smile I've ever seen. It's the kind of smile that could mend broken wings. "No" he whispers. "I volunteered." The words hit harder than I expect. Like a punch wrapped in silk. I gasp, air leaves me in a rush I can't reclaim. But before I can fully process what he's just said, he takes a step closer. His fingers ghost over my cheek, brushing away a tear I didn't realise had fallen. And then-he kisses me painfully slow. His hand cups the back of my neck, anchoring me to a moment I never want to end. And just when I think it's over, he pulls away just enough to look at me. His thumb traces the damp trail of tears down my cheek. He doesn't say anything. He just leans in again, and kisses them away. One by one. My tears. My pain. My silence. All kissed away by a boy who didn't come to save me because someone sent him. He came because he chose to.Complete
Zane Wilder
*SLOWLY BEING EDITED* Zane had a special mission to accomplish. No one could find out that he's undercover. No one. But with those hazel eyes and her smart mouth he couldn't stay away from her. She was making him feel things he never knew it was possible. Yet bringing her into his world was dangerous especially because of her sudden connection to his case. Katherine has a baggage full of insecurities and trust issues. She never had an official boyfriend and being 24 that's socially unacceptable. The danger those grey eyes emit should scare her away. He was trouble and she knew that but she couldn't help it. The attraction she feels towards him is scaring her. Is it worth taking the risk? ........ "Can you cook?" "I can" "Good, what about laundry and cleaning?" I nodded. "Fuck Angel, you're like the perfect woman and you still want me to be your friend" He joked and found myself laughing. "Because I am the perfect housewife?" I asked arching an eyebrow. "No, because you are the perfect combination of smart, beautiful, and skillful." I blushed at that and I wanted to look away but one of his hands stopped me and turned my face towards him. "Get used to hearing compliments because you're going to hear them often in the future. Now, about my offer..." He gave me an expectant look. I thought for a while. I still wasn't sure it was a good idea but I liked working at the shop and still wanted to work there for a little while. "Alright, let's do it," I said. "Now? Here? Damn Angel, first the fiancé thing, and now this. For someone inexperienced, you sure move fast" He joked and I laughed. *Warning ⚠️* Strong language, triggering topics such as body shaming, depression...Complete
Bound by Lust
Landon Castillo is the man everyone desires but no one dares to keep. To the world, he's a rising star-a sculptor whose hands breathe life into stone. Yet those same hands are equally skilled at destruction. Known for his arrogance, his fleeting one-night affairs, and the dangerous shadows that follow him. Aurora Knight was supposed to be a mistake-just another girl in Landon King's world of power, wealth, and sin. But the moment he touched her, she became his weakness. Aurora Knight is no stranger to ice. Her world is cold, her heart colder-sharp-edged and merciless, cutting deeper than any blade. Her beauty is striking, her presence magnetic, but her soul is a fortress, unreachable to those who try to breach it. Both scarred by the past, both carrying wounds that refuse to heal, Landon and Aurora live with battles no one else sees. What they don't realise is that their souls have been colliding for years-meeting in dreams, clashing in the unseen realm where vulnerability cannot be hidden. In that world, they are drawn to each other again and again. In reality, however, envy, pride, and a lifetime of walls keep them apart. He carves masterpieces with his hands. She sharpens her heart into a weapon. But when soul meets soul, nothing stays unbroken. ------------------------------ "A girl as hot as you shouldn't be going out without panties," he whispers into my ear. "I knew I was going to find my Joker," I winked, to which he smirked. He slid his hand down between my folds, and I gasped, instantly closing my eyes. My warm breath was hitting his neck before my body turned to look ahead into the mirror. "Oh my God, you're so fucking beautiful," he whispers again into my ear. I took control of his hands and directed his fingers into me, saying, "Are you always this shy?" "No. I just want to be delicate with something as beautiful as you." ------------ WARNING This story contains sexually explicit scenes. It is part of an Erotica series.
Heavenly Sin (EDITING)
"I could kill you," he grins holding the gun to my temple. "I wouldn't be scared," I reminded him. He trails the gun under my chin lifting it, allowing me to look him in the eyes. "No one would know you were murdered by me," he continues making me smile. "I think I might have a gun kink;" I tell him while holding eye contact. "Fuck," he mutters as he smashes his lip onto mine, •••• The crimson colour pools beneath me as I let him twist the dagger that had been living in my heart since the day we had met. Sometimes we settle for the love we think we deserve only because are parents didn't portray it better therefore we think the bare minimum is over the top. ••••Complete

"I-I-I'm scared. Don't leave me, please." Lucien's sneakers hit the floor before I finished my sentence. He climbed onto the bed and pulled me gently into his arms, his chest behind mine, strong and anchored. "I wouldn't," he murmured against the side of my face. "I'm here, I won't." His hands moved with an uncharacteristic softness, not filled with arrogance, no sharp edges. Just warmth. What was he doing? I felt him hesitate, then bring a thumb to my cheek. He wiped away the tear I hadn't noticed falling. The moment his skin brushed mine, something inside me steadied. The Lucien I knew-quick-tongued and distant-was gone. My breaths slowed. The tightness inside my chest softened. And still, his hands remained gentle, mapping out the curve of my cheek like he was trying to memorise it. "You're no good for me," I whispered hoarsely, leaning my head against his shoulder, eyes wet. "I can't deny my feelings, Amara," he said, his voice more like a confession than an excuse. "I try, every time, I do. But your innocence haunts me and I'm left coming back to you." He brushed a strand of hair out of my eyes. That simple act shattered every version of him I had thought I understood. "You're going to hurt me," I warned, my voice brittle. His gaze stayed locked on mine. "I can't promise I won't, Amara. I wish I could. I'm flawed. I'm angry. I'm still learning how not to run. But I want you. I want every version of you, even the parts I don't deserve." ❧ || Sequel to How To Love : Chasing Secrets ✓ ||Complete
