He never introduced himself. He never explained why I was transferred.
He never told me the firm was his.
He just moved me like a chess piece and watched me like I already belonged to him.
I thought it was a career opportunity.
It wasn't.
It was a carefully constructed cage quiet, controlled and impossible to see from the inside.
Renzo Valori Serrano doesn't raise his voice. Doesn't explain himself.
And doesn't make mistakes.
But the longer I stay, the more I start noticing the things that don't belong
conversations that stop when I walk in,decisions made in silence
and a world beneath the firm that no one talks about.
I should leave.
I know I should.
So why does it feel like I've already chosen not to?
Because the most dangerous thing about Renzo Valori Serrano...
isn't what he is.
It's what I'm becoming
the longer I stay.
He watches.
He waits.
He decides.
And somehow
without ever touching me...
he owns me anyway.

You are mine
He came back to me ruined. But not by heartbreak... by love. When my childhood best friend Luca showed up at my door after disappearing for years, I thought he needed a place to stay. A friend to lean on. A soft bed and a warmer home. But he insisted on sleeping close. First on the floor. Then beside my bed. Then with his hand wrapped in mine like he'd die if he let go. And I let him. God, I let him. Until the night I pulled away-and something in him cracked open. He overheard my parents arranging a date for me. And the boy I knew became the man he always hid underneath: Cold. Jealous. Devoted. Unhinged. He looked at me like I was the only thing he ever wanted. "Aria, you're not going anywhere. You're the only girl I've ever loved. I came back for you. I already told our parents. Now I just need to make sure you stay mine." I thought he needed saving. Turns out he came back to claim me. And I don't know which part scares me more-the way he loves me... ...or the way I'm starting to love him back.Complete
Devour | ✔︎

Not of power. Not of control. And never... of her. Obsessed, ruthless, and dangerously in love, he will destroy anything that tries to take her away- Even if the only thing standing against him... is her. And the most dangerous part?

People feared Alessandro Rossi. Not the normal kind of fear. Not the kind where people whispered rumors and moved on with their lives. No. They feared him the way people feared death itself. Governments avoided speaking against him. Powerful men lowered their eyes when he entered a room. News channels never mentioned his name unless they wanted accidents to suddenly happen. Alessandro Rossi was power. Darkness. Violence wrapped in expensive black suits. And everybody knew one thing about him: He had no weakness. Until her. ★★★★★ "Sir, the meeting is ready." Alex didn't answer immediately. He stood silently beside the massive glass window of his penthouse in New York, one hand inside his pocket while the city lights burned beneath him like stars. Cold. Untouchable. Dangerous. Matteo waited near the door carefully. Even after years beside him, Alex's silence could still make people nervous. Then finally- "Where is she?" His deep voice filled the room quietly. Matteo sighed internally. Of course. Not business. Not weapons. Not the politicians downstairs begging for his partnership. Her. "She's asleep, boss." Alex's eyes softened slightly. Only slightly. Enough to shock anyone who noticed. "She ate?" "Yes." "She took her medicine?" "Yes." "She cried again?" Matteo hesitated for one second too long. Alex slowly turned around. And suddenly the room felt colder. "She missed you," Matteo admitted carefully. A dangerous silence followed. Then Alex grabbed his coat immediately. "The meeting?" Matteo asked. "Cancel it." "But?-" "I said cancel it."
My boss wants it all
Ethan Vale doesn't fall in love. He watches. From the glass walls of his office, he has spent months observing the new designer who walked into his company like sunlight breaking into a locked room. Lena Arora is everything he isn't-warm, bright, and painfully alive. She laughs with everyone. Trusts too easily. Smiles at men who don't deserve it. And Ethan notices everything. The way she twists the ring on her finger when she's nervous. The songs she hums while working. The exact time she leaves the office every night. At first, it was curiosity. Then it became something darker. Because every time another man stands too close to her... Every time someone makes her laugh... Something inside Ethan snaps. He tells himself he's protecting her. Removing problems. Keeping the wrong people away. But the truth is far more dangerous. He's obsessed. When a storm traps them together one night, Ethan offers her a ride home. Instead, he drives her somewhere quiet-under a sky full of stars where the lines between control and desire begin to blur. Lena thinks Ethan is just her cold, mysterious boss. She has no idea that for months he has been watching her. Protecting her. Claiming pieces of her life she never gave him permission to touch. And when she finally discovers the truth... She has to decide something terrifying. Is Ethan Vale a monster she should run from? Or the only man who has ever truly seen her? Because Ethan has already made his decision. He's never letting her go.Complete
The Mercenary's Maid
She feared him more than anything-until he became the only place she felt safe. After escaping years of abuse, Lina found a fragile kind of peace scrubbing floors in a mercenary's mansion. Quiet, invisible, and broken, she kept her head down and her voice lower. Especially around him. Killian. He kills for a living. He is a powerful, cold-blooded mercenary, a wealthy man who built his empire off blood, fear. He owns a powerful private military company that operates in the shadows, answering only to the highest bidders. He commands killers, closes deals, and never makes mistakes. Until her. A glance. A flinch. A wound she tried to hide. And suddenly, he was watching her closely. Quietly. Like she was a puzzle he didn't mean to touch... but couldn't stop obsessing over. Killian: "You blush like that again, and I swear I'll pin you against this wall just to see how deep it goes." He didn't know how to be soft. She didn't know how to be wanted. But in a house full of violence, he saw her. And he started to change. And soon, she was everywhere in his mind.
