Hearts of Crime 🥀
Some loves don't die. They kill. In the year 1703, in a city drowning in secrets, she walks like a shadow wrapped in silk. Lantern light flickers against rain-slick stones, and behind every painted smile lurks a silence sharpened like a blade. A vampire, cursed with a hunger deeper than blood, she craves the taste of betrayal most of all. When passion turns to treachery, knives glisten and roses decay. Every whispered vow carries the weight of ruin, and every crime of the heart must be paid in blood. The streets themselves seem to hold their breath, as if waiting for the echo of footsteps that will decide who survives the night. Love here is never gentle. It is a wound disguised as devotion, a promise that cuts as deeply as it embraces. And when the final bell tolls, choices will stain more than lips-they will stain eternity. But in love's darkest hour, is she the victim... or the executioner?Completa

I'm in love with him but he's in love with my younger sister and has made that painfully clear to me. "Who are you in love with?" I ask softly, my voice barely above a whisper.

"I'll fulfill my role as your husband, but don't expect any love or affection. This marriage is just an agreement between our families, nothing more. Do you understand?"

Book I: Starfall
When the heavens fracture, a mortal mapmaker and a fallen queen must redraw the stars-or watch the world collapse. Kael has spent his life charting the night sky, searching for patterns in the chaos left by the skyquake that killed his sister. He trusts only in ink, parchment, and the cold certainty of the stars. Until the night a blazing swan of light crashes into the mountains-and a woman steps from the wreckage claiming to be the Sky Queen. Aurelya was once sovereign of the Celestial Court, chosen by the Rhythm itself to keep the heavens in balance. Betrayed by her kin and bound by ancient chains, she has fallen to the mortal world with her power shattered and her name erased. To return, she must reclaim her lineage from a constellation long forgotten-and confront the gods who cast her down. Drawn together by grief and defiance, Kael and Aurelya uncover a truth the Court has hidden for centuries: the stars are not fixed, but can be rewritten. Each map Kael draws reshapes the heavens, weakening the constellations that betrayed her. But every stroke of ink carries a cost, and the gods will not surrender their dominion without war. As time unravels and the sky itself begins to fall, Kael and Aurelya must choose: restore the throne, save the mortal world, or attempt the impossible third path-remaking the Rhythm so that love and legacy can both endure. Epic, intimate, and myth-soaked, Starfall is the opening movement of a trilogy about grief, rebellion, and the power of rewriting fate.![The Things We Hide [BxB]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/395105351-256-k607599.jpg)

Cassian Blackwood has spent his entire life fighting his way through poverty, doing whatever it takes to keep his family alive in a city that couldn't care less if they lived or died. So when he was offered an unusually well-paid position as the personal servant to the crown prince, his entire world changed. The prince, Thalric Morrow, is everything Cassian despises: cold, entitled, and unbearably arrogant. A monster born into power who treats everyone with disdain. Especially his new servant, who he looked down upon from the very beginning. Cassian, however, is not afraid to stand his ground and give the prince a sharp tongue. They absolutely despise each other from the start, but hatred has a way of turning into obsession, and obsession into something far more treacherous. As Cassian is pulled deeper into the royal court's web, he realizes there's more to Thalric than just blood and cruelty.

In the decaying city of Graven Hollow, where the living rot behind masks of civility and wealth, young Lucain Graves is chained to a loveless engagement and a crumbling family legacy. Haunted by visions of the dead and disillusioned by the coldness of the world above, he flees into the ancient woods on the eve of his wedding.

Bound by blood and ritual, Lucain is dragged into a realm where the dead speak truths the living fear to whisper. As the veil thins between the worlds, the past claws its way into the present, and both Lucain and his living bride-to-be, Vivian, must confront the monstrous secrets buried beneath lace, lies, and centuries of rot. In this world, love does not conquer death. It marries it.Completa
His mistress
Loving him was the cruelest kind of torment-a love that lived in the shadows, one that could never bask in the warmth of the sun. I was nothing more than a stolen moment, a whispered name in the dark, a secret he tucked away between the life he had built and the one he wished he could have. I knew, deep down, that I was a fracture in his story, a fleeting escape from the weight of his reality. And yet, I still clung to him, to the illusion that for a few precious hours, he was mine. But the truth was relentless-it came in the form of unanswered texts, in the way he dressed hurriedly after loving me, in the way he said her name with the same tenderness he once gave me. I had given him my heart, knowing he would never be able to keep it, and yet, I loved him still. Loved him as I watched him walk away, loved him as he returned to the arms of the woman he truly belonged to, loved him as I drowned in the loneliness he left behind. Because no matter how much I wished it to be different, I was not his home-I was just a place he visited before going back to where his heart truly lived.Completa

Chains Made Of Silk (Completed)
Aurelia was once a nameless maid-obedient, quiet, invisible. But years of servitude taught her one truth: power doesn't belong to those who inherit it. It belongs to those willing to bleed for it. One night, she seized it. She slaughtered the royal family, took the crown, and made herself Queen. The only one she spared? Seraphina-the former princess, now a prisoner in her own palace. Once her mistress, now her captive. Once her dream, now her regret. But history between them runs deeper than anyone suspects. Before rebellion, before betrayal... there were glances. Secrets. Longing. And something dangerous neither of them dared name. Now, with Seraphina under house arrest and Aurelia sitting on a throne drenched in blood, their story begins again-not as ruler and servant, but as two monsters shaped by love, obsession, and the cost of freedom. Maybe she wanted the crown. Maybe she just wanted her. Maybe... she wanted both. ⚠️ Content Warning: dark romance, manipulation, obsession, murder, power imbalance, confinement > More of this chaos?
