Mature

When ruthless billionaire Lucien Voss, known for burying enemies and secrets alike, offers a marriage contract instead of a bullet, Evelyn Moreau doesn't have a choice. Her family's debt is drowning them, and Lucien's protection comes at the cost of her freedom. But as she's thrust into his cold, opulent world of power plays, whispered threats, and haunted pasts, Evelyn discovers her husband is not just feared-he's broken. And he expects her to play the perfect wife while hiding the monster he truly is.

But monsters don't stay buried forever.

Trapped in a marriage forged by desperation, Evelyn must learn how to survive a man who owns her on paper-but wants to possess her soul. What begins as a cold-blooded transaction turns into something far more dangerous: obsession, betrayal, and a love so dark it could ruin them both.

This isn't a love story. It's a war. (18+ smut will be included girlies 😛)All Rights Reserved

To Hell by AzioPza

She was supposed to get better. He was supposed to disappear. They were all supposed to forget. But nothing stays buried forever. Especially not the kind of secrets that leave teeth marks. In a city built on silence and sin, five broken strangers are dragged back into the orbit of a man they thought was dead. Each carries their own trauma, their own rage, their own crimes. Each one marked. Each one watched. Each one chosen. There's the therapist who weaponizes grief. The girl who survived and became the monster. The boy who turned pain into poetry-and then into war. The cult leader who doesn't believe in forgiveness. And the one with blood on her tongue and no name left to pray with. A list has surfaced. And their names are on it. Crossed out. Carved in. Waiting. This isn't a love story. It's a reckoning. A spiral into obsession, violence, memory, and manipulation. Read it only if you can handle: Therapy sessions that turn abusive. Confessions that turn deadly. Love that turns into a knife. You've been warned.

In the heart of Seoul, where neon lights bleed into shadows, a different kind of royalty holds court. Kim Ayan isn't a king; he is the ruler of the city's underworld, a man whose name is whispered in fear and whose obsession is a cage gilded in violence. Eun-byul is a storm wrapped in silk, a fashion designer whose heart was shattered by betrayal. Refusing to be a victim, she makes a devil's bargain. She doesn't flee the darkness-she walks directly into the lion's den and proposes to the lion himself. Her offer is simple: her hand in marriage for his name as her weapon. It is the perfect revenge against the lover who wronged her. But she soon discovers that revenge has a price far steeper than she ever imagined. Ayan agrees to her deal, but on his own terms. He doesn't want a wife in name only; he demands everything. His love is not gentle-it is all-consuming, possessive, and violent. He will become her sanctuary and her prison, her protector and her greatest threat. This is a dark romance where love and obsession are twisted into a dangerous knot. Eun-byul sought to use a monster for revenge, but now she must survive the terrifying, seductive grip of the monster who decided to keep her. In a game of power and revenge, the greatest risk isn't getting hurt-it belonging to the man who will burn the world down to keep you.
