They call me the Ghost.

I've killed thirty-three people in two weeks. Burned a trafficking compound to ashes. Betrayed my best friend and destroyed everything I touched.

The Circle thinks I'm a monster. A traitor. The villain in someone else's story.

They're not wrong.

But they don't know about the girl picking weeds in a concrete courtyard. The one who smiled at white roses like they were miracles. The one who made a Ghost want to be human.

They don't know about the impossible choice. The leash disguised as love. The fifteen minutes that destroyed everything.

They don't know I had something worth losing.

Now I'm sitting in the ruins of my revenge, covered in blood and ash, holding a pair of lavender shoes that will never be worn.

This is my confession. My truth. The story behind the betrayal.

This is how a Ghost learned to love.

This is how a monster lost his soul.

📖 Can this be read as a standalone?

YES! This is a complete story with its own beginning, middle, and end.

However: This is Book 2 in a connected series. Book 1 tells a different couple's story where this character appears. Book 2 reveals truths that reframe everything.

Read in order for maximum impact, or start here - both work!

His to Break || Completed de authorsplendida

𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 Rosalia De Luca had everything-a wealthy family, a good life, and a name that commanded respect. But the moment her father's empire crumbled, so did her freedom. And Xavier Vincenzo, the man she despised most, was there to collect the pieces. He didn't just buy out her family's company. He bought her. Now, trapped as his personal assistant-his possession-she is forced to endure his rules, his punishments, and his suffocating presence. Every glance, every touch, every cruel smirk reminds her of one thing: she belongs to him. "Strip." The word sent a cold shiver down her spine, but his voice left no room for refusal. She stood frozen as his blue eyes darkened with cruel amusement. "You keep forgetting," he murmured, leaning back in his chair. "I own you now." Rosalia hates him. She swears she does. But the worst part? Her body refuses to listen. In a game of power, obsession, and dangerous desire, will she break beneath his control-or will she be the one to shatter him first? WARNING: This novel contains dark themes, toxicity, and an intense power imbalance. Read at your own risk.

Completed ••••••• "Tomorrow you'll call them and tell them you ran away and that you're fine. You're going to tell them not to bother looking for you, that you're somewhere safe. You're also going to tell them that you think running away was the right thing to do and that you just need a little space." "I can't say that to them," she whispered. "You can and you will." "Go to hell," she whispered before getting up and walking out of my room. I watched the door slam shut. "Baby girl," I said," I'm already there."

BROKEN POSSESSION de DEESCHE

A DEAD MOTHER, AN ABUSIVE STEPTHER AND AN ARRANGED MARRIAGE. Little did my future husband know we had already met at his club, and I was ready to give him my virginity until we were interrupted by a phone call. My stepfather demanded my presence at home, and when I arrived, I was met by his fists and ominous words, leading me to believe he might sell me for nefarious purposes. So, I did what any sane woman would do. I ran and ended up in the arms of my gorgeous future husband, whom I was madly attracted to. Sounds like a fairytale, right? Not! My stepfather also promised me to another brutal man, the head of the Russian Bratva. Who knew that men in the criminal world frothed at the mouth, their lust bubbling over at the thought of deflowering an innocent. When Daddy Dearest found out I gave my prize to another, I barely survived the consequences.

Bound Together de Everyonehatesmeee__

They say opposites attract. Maybe that's true-but sometimes, attraction feels more like a trap than a blessing. Years ago, a deal was struck between two powerful families in Paris. A bargain meant to shape the future-one sealed with the lives of their grandchildren. A deal no one can escape, not even fate itself. She was an artist, sheltered and untouchable, raised on the blurred edges of forgotten memories. An orphan whose past had been buried in shadows. He was her childhood best friend, torn apart from her by forces neither could control. But obsession never dies. Loss only sharpens it. And now, her past is knocking at her door-dressed in tailored suits, bloodstained loyalty, and a promise he intends to keep. "I could not fathom the feeling when I first saw you again. It was sharp-like glass lodged beneath my skin. Back then, I didn't understand it. But later, much later, I came to know it for what it was. Love. I fell for you as a boy. I fell again when you stepped into my office, unknowing, fragile, still painted in the light you didn't deserve. And I fell hardest when you became mine. Do not mistake me for a good man. I was never that. But even monsters love-and for you, my love was absolute. Obsession dressed as devotion. Devotion dressed as ruin."

Old Money Madness de Loverofdangerouslove

One of his hands was snaked around my back while the other dragged up my spine into my hair. With one hard tug, my head fell backward and the shower water covered my face. Gasping for air I felt his mouth make its way around the base of my neck. The hot water was already making my skin hot, but having him so close in this way, made me feel like I should have combusted a long time ago. He jerked me back up to be facing him. He kissed my mouth then drags his eyes down to my neck. "A pretty necklace, for the gorgeous Princess." *** "Tell me River what each kiss means again." He presses one to my cheek. "We're friends." I smile. "Here." He presses a kiss on my hand. "You adore me." I laugh. Then he pressed a kiss to my lips. It was quick barely touching long enough for my nerves to recognize it. "A kiss to the lips," I spoke blankly. My lips still parted in the manner he left me. I'm afraid to move in fear that my brain will forget the feeling. "And tell me again what that means River?" "I love you." A chaste whisper. So quiet, almost as if it didn't need to be said at all to be understood. "And that I do Miss Knight. In all your intensity." *** Two people come to figure out a double homicide. One is mental who is richer than anyone and the other is a detective from New York just trying to get their name on a big case. You may want to eat the rich, but most of them have already starved themselves. insta: csulak_
