I shouldn't have went down that alleyway alone. I didn't mean to capture the eye of the mafia...now I'm trapped by the devil.
........................................................................
Cecelia Knight
My mom always said I wouldn't make it far as a ballet dancer but I didn't care it was my heart, my soul, my comfort.
I always knew from a young age I wanted to dance and perform for others: for other people to admire me.
Until my fate was decided when I ran into him.
I can't escape, he caught me and now I'm his.
Raphael Romano
There's a girl. Beautiful, Elegant, Talented, Quiet, and my Obsession.
She shouldn't have ran into me and now she's mine.
She doesn't deserve this but that won't stop me.
Do I care? No. I own her.
She says she hates me, but I'll tear her apart piece by piece until she's utterly broken...or will she be the one to change my heart despite everything?

𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐂𝐑𝐄𝐓 𝐃𝐄𝐒𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐃'𝐒 𝐁𝐑𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑. Book 1 in "Dark Fate" series. "They say you can't choose who you fall in love with, and he couldn't agree more. His sister's best friend had captured his heart, and he was consumed by his obsession for her and now, he knows he would never be able to let her go because she belongs with him." • ✧ • There's a kind of love that feels like sunlight - warm, gentle, safe. And then... there's his. It's not cruel. It's not loud. It's something far more dangerous - quiet, calculated, all-consuming. He was my best friend's brother. The man I was never supposed to notice. He watched from the shadows, memorizing me without ever needing a single word. I never really knew his name... but he knew everything about me. My fears. My patterns. My dreams. Even the parts I hadn't yet discovered myself. He's always been there, just a step behind-waiting, watching, wanting. And now, he's no longer waiting. He calls it love. I don't know what to call it, only that it pulls me in like gravity - unavoidable, inescapable. There's safety in his arms, yet danger in his silence. Gentleness in his touch, yet fire in his gaze. And somewhere in the tension between fear and longing, I find myself unraveling. Because the scariest part of being wanted like this... Is realizing you might want them back.Complete![𝐒𝐞𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐞𝐬 | [𝟏𝟖+]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/351489774-256-k943885.jpg)

[ON HOLD] An age gap dark romance. She wasn't afraid of his darkness; she craved it - and he let her crawl inside, knowing she'd never find the way out. • ✧ • Her obsession started innocently enough. A glance, a spark - nothing more than an attraction at first. But as days turned into weeks, and weeks into months, she couldn't escape him. He was everywhere. In her thoughts. In her dreams. And she couldn't stop herself from wanting more. He didn't make it easy, though. Cold, distant, and guarded - he kept her at arm's length. Yet, the pull between them grew stronger. Every glance, every subtle touch, sent a shock of electricity through her. And though he fought against it, something in him, too, started to stir - a feeling he wasn't willing to acknowledge. But there was a secret. One she couldn't yet uncover. He was hiding something. Something dark. And somewhere in the world, as she lost herself in him, someone was killing people, one by one - a faceless killer, leaving no trace behind. The name? No one knows, but they call 'The Phantom.' As the mystery deepened, she couldn't help but wonder... Was she falling for a man who could destroy her, or was she already lost in his web, unaware of the danger lurking just beyond the surface?

"You want to act reckless? Fine. But don't think for a second you're not being watched. This city is full of men who'd love to carve a message into you just to make a point." "And what message would you carve?" I whispered. He reached out. Brushed the back of his knuckles down my jaw, rough and slow. "Mine." It wasn't sweet. It wasn't romantic. It was a brand. And then he dropped his hand. "You have ten minutes to get out of here before I make a fucking scene." ˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Massimo Bianchi is ruthless, the kind of man who leaves blood in his wake and never looks back. At 29, he's the trusted enforcer for one of the most feared mafia bosses in America - my father, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ghost I never knew but can never escape. I, Francesca DeLuca, have spent my life in the shadows of wealth, too blind to see the truth behind my family's fortune. But when I confront the mysterious man who's been following me, I'm thrown into a world of blood and betrayal, where loyalty is bought and sold like a commodity. Massimo is everything I should fear - cold, dangerous, and bound by an oath to my father. But there's something in the way he looks at me, a dark hunger he refuses to acknowledge. I should hate him, push him away, but the deeper I fall into my family's twisted legacy, the harder it is to resist the pull. But loving a man like Massimo is a risk, and in our world, mistakes are paid for in blood. So the question is - will I be his downfall, or will he be mine?Complete
His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.

Dedication: To Michael, Ralf,Collen&Amaya. I wouldn't have done this without your unwavering support and love. Thank you. To my readers; This is an escape. A place to let you imagination wonder. There is no place like the imagined one🧡💛🧡 Hope you enjoy. Share. Like. Comment. In the sunlit streets of Bari, Italy, Mukeni Kamau carves out a life of her own-an art studio filled with color, independence, and defiance. But the world she's built begins to fracture the night Matteo Romano walks into her father's hospital room. Matteo is everything she should avoid: the arrogant heir to a criminal empire, a man whose wealth and influence make him untouchable, whose rosary beads cannot disguise the blood on his hands. Yet beneath his cold arrogance lies a hunger Mukeni cannot ignore-and a power she cannot escape. When rival gangs abduct Mukeni to strike at her father's hidden debts, Matteo's obsession ignites into fury. Days bleed into weeks as he hunts for her, unraveling in violence and prayer, the memory of her lips haunting his every breath. And when Mukeni returns-scarred but unbroken-their collision burns hotter than ever, blurring the line between love and possession, freedom and ruin. But in Matteo's world, desire comes with a price. His enemies circle closer. Mukeni's father hides secrets that could destroy them all. And the man who cannot live without her may be the one who drags her deepest into the darkness. A story of obsession, betrayal, and forbidden love-ALLURE is a dark romance where survival means surrender, and passion is the most dangerous weapon of all.
