The Ache of Ecstasy

The high of corruption and love. Lust that chases, Violence that echoes and predators that hunt.

La Rosa Nera, the black rose
Beautiful, deadly with thorns.
Underboss, an addict, a hacker behind all the scenes.
She built her empire from ashes and bloodline, no rivalry that she has not already destroyed, just the past that haunts her. She wants power despite the addiction that follows her at every turn.
But when her warehouses are raided and a masked ghost from her past appears in the footage, everything spirals.
The man she once loved, the man who vanished four years ago, is back. And this time, he's playing for war. Not for her.

𝐙𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐎 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐒𝐎
Exiled heir. Moscow's nightmare.
He was forced to leave, believing she was the one who betrayed him, believing his mother was the danger he feared. He became the man of winter, taking territories that were never his to take.
Greed was something he familarized himself with, as to ignore the woman he mourns as though she had already passed.
Now he's back to take, to claim his throne, his legacy and someone that was taken from him long ago.
He returns with an army, a vendetta, and a kingdom rebuilt in his name.
A boy, reverent and soft turned to a man, cruel and unwavering.

The mystery all lies in their family deception, every death has a secret-will they find it, or will they kill each other in the process?

One betrayal is never enough for a story as violent as theirs.
Stories are meant to deceive, and there are many truths to uncover, even when swarmed with lies.
How will you find out the truth?
