Marked by a life of abuse in an orphanage and in the homes where she worked as a maid, Isabella is gentle, insecure, and deeply innocent. She has never known real affection or safety. Fragile but resilient, her world changes when she begins working in Alexander Beaufort's mansion - where she discovers love for the first time, along with new wounds she never expected.
Alexander Beaufort (25)
Raised in luxury but starved of affection, Alexander grew up emotionally distant, relying only on the cook and chauffeur who became his true family.

But Isabella awakens feelings he never believed himself capable of, challenging everything he thought he knew about love.

The Crimson Rose.
A man feared by all-ruthless, powerful, and dangerously captivating. He's not just handsome; he commands attention the moment he steps into a room. He is the most feared mafia boss in all of London, a name spoken in whispers and never without caution. But beneath the tailored suits and cold, calculating eyes lies a past shrouded in darkness. His life is etched with scars-both the kind that fade with time and the kind that haunt the soul. Among them, one wound never truly healed: a deep, unshakable fear of being touched. It's not just discomfort; it's terror rooted in betrayal, violence, and a pain he never speaks of. The world may see a monster, but inside, he's a man at war with his own demons. She was left on the steps of a church as a baby, with no name and no family. She grew up in the shadows of others, never knowing the warmth of a family or what it felt like to be someone's first choice. All she ever wanted was to be seen, to be cared for. So when a man showed her attention and made her feel special, she believed it was love. But it wasn't. He slowly trapped her in a world of fear and control, and by the time she realized the truth, it was too late. His love came with bruises, his promises with threats. For years, she endured his violence, his control, all while clinging to the fragile hope that something-anything-might change. But it didn't. For years, she lived through pain and violence at his hands, feeling more alone than ever. Then, one night, with fear in her veins and courage in her heart, she ran. Eight months pregnant and carrying more than just a child-she carried the strength of every scar, every tear, and every silent scream she had buried. She didn't know where the road would lead, but for the first time, it was hers to choose. They were both broken. Both running from something. And neither of them expected the other to become the safest place they'd ever known.
Violet
Violet Cherie is a 23 year old woman. She lives with her so called family which show nothing but hatred towards her. She is like a broken doll, living with the torturous abuse her family gives and has no escape from them. But what do you think will happen when Adrian Hayes, the man who bullied Violet with her stepsister years ago returns to his home town? Only this time he is coming back with a contract. A contact of marriage that claimed Violet to marry Adrian. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• "You have to marry to Adrian." I sat there frozen to my spot. There is no way that this was happening. Were they joking? Or was I having another nightmare? This made no sense. Tears welled up in my eyes at mom's statement. My eyes snapped to Adrian and he already was staring at me with intense eyes. I looked away from him and at my mom. I saw her slam the contract on the table. "Now sign this sweetheart." Her words dripped like rotten and tasteless honey. I spun my head towards the table and again gazed at an opened page of the contract. I read the page slowly as my eyes shifted between the words, not believing it. It was a contract, a small one that had no other information than it stated that I had to marry Adrian. It was signed by Mr and Mrs Hayes, Adrian and both of my parents. My eyes darted back to my mom and shook my head in disapproval. No way was I agreeing to this disaster. •-•-•-•-•-•-•-• -WARNINGS- • This book contains strong scenes of abuse. • Please take caution as some scenes may be too harsh for the audience to read. • All rights are owned by @PurplezBubble.Complete
