"Curiosity was my crime. Adventure became my punishment."
I was just another restless girl, bored in my own room, chasing answers to questions no one dared to ask. One click, one step, one wrong turn-and suddenly the shadows weren't just shadows anymore.
Behind locked doors and secret waters, I found things the world swears don't exist: power, danger, and beings who should have stayed in myths. Now, I'm tangled in secrets too heavy to escape, guided by a voice I shouldn't trust but can't live without.
Some doors should never be opened. But I already did.

COMMITMENT | MAFIA ROMANCE 18+ ✔️ Book One
Nia: He's a broken soul with a dark past. He's a fearful man who sees nothing but red in the world. I want to hug him. I want to, dare I say, love him. But will he let me? Apollo: She's a ray of sunshine that burns my eyes with every smile. A flower with poison hidden beneath her petals. I want to break her and uncover her hidden dark desires. There's something about her and I can't let go even though I know I should. A world like mines isn't a place for her delicate soul and I fucking hate that. ~~ "Submit to me." He repeats, harder this time as he steps closer to me. "I am not some puppy you can command to do as you say. Who in the fuck do you think i am? Kali?" His frown deepens at my tone and in a second his cold rough hands are wrapped around my neck. I whimper at the sudden move and my body goes tense when he squeezes. "Apo-" "I said to fucking submit! Do you need me to force you to?" He growls in my face. His scent suffocates me more than his hands are and I remain silent, fearing that I will say the wrong thing that'll end in me buried six feet under. "What? Cat got your tongue?" He taunts with an evil smirk on his face. He's trying to scare me into submission. I refuse. If me dying saves my dignity then so be it but I will not let this evil man think he can control me. "I am not yours to submit to, Apollo," I say as loud as can with his hands still choking me. "I am not your pet. If you want to hurt me, then hurt me but I refuse to be the woman to fall at your every command. You tried that once, remember? And where did that get me? In the hands of your enemy. I fucking. Refuse." I used all of my strength to shove him away from me with heavy force.Complete
The North Sea Beast
"I'll tell you something about myself- I never mince words. Nature is a beast, Henry. We were not created to live in peace within it. Be grateful for those who let you down; pain is the only truth that endures." The sea wind howls a bitter truth across the North Sea coast: betrayal, not love, is the world's only constant. This is not a tale of heroes and villains, but a brutal exploration of the human soul-a mirror reflecting the savage beauty and terrifying depths we all possess. The guilt-ridden, the desperate, and the cunning are all players in a high-stakes legacy that demands a price from every generation. Beneath the veneer of civilized society, a clandestine order pulls the strings, their influence woven into the very fabric of existence. Secrets fester within an ancient bloodline, grasping like tendrils into the present day. Honour clashes with avarice. Integrity squares off against ruthless force. Cunning faces brutality. Who will rise, and who will be consumed by the abyss? Rumors whisper of a slumbering entity, a primal force stirring beneath the surface. Will it awaken and claim its due, or will it remain dormant, a threat forever lurking in the shadows? Prepare to be swept away in an epic saga where the fate of many hangs by a thread, and the true nature of the beast is far more complex than it seems. --- Content Warning: Features an unapologetically cynical and eccentric voice, including scenes of violence, offensive language, and moral ambiguity.
