She has only ever known the cracks in her walls and the weight of survival. Her life is small, fragile, until one desperate mistake throws her into the path of a man who should have been a storm she avoided.
Him, the prince's rogue shadow, charming and dangerous in equal measure. He knows the city's truths - the ones gilded in palaces and the ones whispered in alleys. And now, he knows her.
Between stolen bread and stolen glances, they are drawn into a web of loyalty and deception, where every choice is a blade. In a city that wears its grandeur like silk and secrets buried in every corner, they must decide: is their bond a mirage... or the only truth left to hold on to?
Not all oases promise water. Not all hearts promise truth.

YOUNG HITMAN
To the shadows that whisper secrets, to the silence that screams truths, and to the ghosts that walk among us, unseen but always present. This story is for those who have learned to navigate the labyrinth of their own making, where every turn is a gamble and every breath a carefully calculated risk. It's for the ones who have had their innocence stolen, their trust shattered, and their lives irrevocably altered by forces beyond their control. May you find a flicker of recognition in Layla's journey, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, even when that spirit has been forged in the crucible of betrayal and loss. To my mother, who taught me that the greatest strength can be found in the darkest of places, and that survival often demands a ruthlessness we never imagined we possessed. And to the memory of those we've lost, whose absence leaves an indelible mark, shaping us in ways we may never fully comprehend, yet which become the very fabric of who we are. This is for you, for the echoes you leave behind, and for the silent battles waged in the quiet corners of our lives. May this narrative serve as a somber reminder of the invisible scars we carry, the weight of unspoken words, and the enduring power of a will to survive, no matter the cost. Your stories, though often unseen, are the foundations upon which resilience is built.

All I Need ✔️
"You're playing with fire Safania." "Good thing I don't burn." The last words he spoke before throwing me onto my bed sounded like a threat, but felt more like a promise. "You will." *** Don't get caught. Those are the three words Safania has lived by for the past five years. As a marked woman - easily identified by intricate bronze marks on her back and unpredictable special abilities - she has spent the past five years running from anyone who might exploit those abilities...especially the royal families who tortured marked women to build their empires. Starving, exhausted, and frozen, she collapses by the bank of a river just to wake up in her worst nightmare: the chambers of a prince. Prince Cassius is his father's first choice of his three brothers to ascend to the throne. He's smart, strategic, and stoic, unlike his corrupt and depraved brothers. There's just one problem: he has no interest in any of his proposed marital matches, and the King will only pick someone as his successor who he knows will carry on the family line. But once he meets Safania, he finds himself unable to imagine ruling the kingdom without her by his side. Can he convince her to trust him? *** Warning: this story contains mature and potentially triggering themes including domestic violence and sexual assault. Reader discretion is advised.Complete
