Irza never believed distance could dull love, not when every late-night call felt like home and every message carried a heartbeat. They were the kind of couple people envied; no trust issues, no fights, no doubts, just two souls connected across miles.
But sometimes, life doesn't end things with noise, it just... changes the script. One truth, and everything shattered. No one saw it coming.... not even Irza, until she realized distance wasn't the real reason they fell apart.
Her long-distance fairytale shattered overnight, leaving her heart bruised and her faith in forever shaken.
But destiny had darker plans.
He said(dangerously looking straight in to her eyes):"That laugh of yours.....it will cost you more than you can imagine and you'll never know it started as a game"
One impulsive moment, one sharp word, and she wounded the wrong man's ego, a man who never forgot, and never forgave.
Now, she finds herself trapped in a marriage that was never meant to happen, bound to the very person whose silence hides something more dangerous than hate.
Because sometimes revenge isn't loud... it's patient, possessive, and signed with a wedding ring.

"Arturo, listen...." "Acid," he corrected. I waved it off. "Arturo, this has to stop," "What has to stop?" He asked nonchalantly as always. "This!" I swing my hand, gesturing between us. "We can't continue doing this. It has to stop. We can't be together. It is not right." He rolled his eyes. "I am older than you. There is a ten years gap between us, can't you see that?!" He shrugged. "Feels like ten minutes," I scoffed in disbelief. "Feels more like ten seconds," he said, adding to my frustration. "What the....are you even understanding the point i am trying to make right now?" He got on his feet, letting out at sigh. "Listen, Mami, I didn't have breakfast today because my belly and taste buds were craving something else." I furrowed my brows in confusion. What the.... "Can you do me a favor, get your hot self on that desk behind you and spread your legs so I can have an indecent breakfast?" 〽️〽️〽️ When twenty-five-year-old Arturo Giovanni, infamously known as "Acid," the stone-cold killer of the Vikings Mafia, set his eyes on his professor's new assistant, Annie Santiago, a thirty-five-year-old single, inexperienced, and old-fashioned beauty, something in his lifeless heart, which thrived on ending lives, stirred. He became obsessed, determined to make Annie his, no matter the ten-year age gap, the forbidden student-teacher connection, or his deadly reputation. 〽️〽️ Hey, Dark Romance😈

caged by him
He was the man of power and money. A ruthless 32-year-old billionaire who once believed in love-until betrayal turned his heart to stone. The day he lost the one person he truly cared for, every emotion in him died. Since then, he's convinced that only power and money make the world bend. Even marriage. Even hearts. She was a simple, middle-class girl. A kind soul who believed in humanity, empathy, and emotion. The light in her parents' lives. Someone who couldn't bear to see others in pain-and always chose to help. Until her own life turned into a living hell... the day his eyes fell on her. He dragged her into his world. A devil who made her the angel of his darkness. A man who touched her body... but never her heart. A silence screamed within her-but he never cared to hear it. Until one day... he did. --- What happens when the devil hears the silence of the angel he broke? What will he do when he falls for the woman he once ruined? Can she ever accept him? Can love bloom in the ruins of hatred and forced submission? --- > "You're mine. My fucking butterfly," he growled, thrusting deep inside her. She stared at the ceiling, face blank-emotionless. Because she knew this was never love. From the day she said yes to that marriage, she knew exactly what it meant- To be his possession, not his partner. --- tropes: ^age gap ^forced marriage ^obsessed ML ^innocent FL ^ he fell first and harder. book started: November 2024 ended:
