She could sense him staring at her, could feel him judging her.
"So you're saying that you don't mind it at all?"
"Don't mind what? Being a bit fucked up?" She shrugged. "The whole world is fucked up, why should I expect any better from myself?"
"Instead you spend your time risking your life, working for criminals and helping people you don't even know," he said, looking bemused. "You're wasting your life hanging with the scum of the earth."
Again, she shrugged. She didn't need to explain her life choices, and didn't really want to either. "If anyone's gonna waste my life, it had better be me, right?"

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.

The Secret Mafia BTS FF || COMPLETE ||
[Complete] "Getting stuck in between is harder than I expected," you murmured, your voice barely audible above the soft rustle of leaves. "I don't blame you for feeling that way. I know it's not fair-what's being asked of you." You sighed, the weight of his understanding somehow making it harder to bear. "It's not," you admitted, "I know it's not an easy decision to make, Y/n. But I also know you don't take these things lightly." Straightening, you met his gaze, trying to push past the heaviness in your chest. "I don't," you admitted. "I've thought about it a lot. This life... it's not perfect, but it's the one I know. And if it means being here, with all of you, then it's worth it." "We'll face whatever comes together. You've made your choice, and I'll make sure you don't regret it."Complete

The Thief and The Smuggler
Gabriel DeMarco had grown accustomed to being untouchable. For years, his name had been whispered in hushed tones within the world of art and high society. His reputation as a master of smuggling was as legendary as the masterpieces in his collection. Whether it was the famous Van Gogh stolen from a Parisian gallery or the rare Egyptian artifact retrieved from a private auction, Gabriel was the go-to man for acquiring the most coveted-and the most dangerous-artifacts. But there was a price to his fame. His fear was not of arrest-it was the erosion of his influence. If his operations were traced back to him, the walls would close in. Gabriel's entire world, built on secrecy and control, would collapse. That's when he saw Alina. She wasn't a player in the game of high society or the corrupt underworld. She was something else entirely-a skilled thief with the subtlety and craftiness to do what Gabriel could no longer afford to risk. Gabriel didn't call the police. He didn't even threaten her. Instead, he offered her something far more dangerous: a proposition. "Do you know who I am?" he asked, his voice calm, even amused. "Everyone knows you," she replied bitterly, her eyes narrowing. Gabriel's smile was slow, almost predatory. "Yes, and that's exactly why I need someone like you. Someone who can stay in the shadows, work quietly, and keep their hands clean. No one knows you, Alina. You have the perfect cover."

Gaze (Dark Romance)
|18+| "Enough is enough," she said to herself. "I'm going to ask him out." Getting up from her seat, she walked over to where he was seated. "Um, hi! I was wondering if we could grab some coffee and maybe hang out sometime?" she asked nervously. He turned to her, a sense of darkness and danger emanating from him. Her body went on alert.

His Ruthless Temptation
I saw her long before she saw me. She didn't know then that her fate had already been sealed, that every step she took was drawing her closer to me. Closer to what she would become. There was something in her-something fragile, something wild. A fear she tried to hide, wrapped in defiance and confidence. It was intoxicating, watching her, knowing that no one else could see what I saw. No one else could feel the pull like I did. The slow, deliberate unraveling of her world as it would soon be tethered to mine. I felt my heart beat once, hard and fast. It was the only signal I needed. She would be mine-not in some fleeting, hollow way. No. I would strip away every shield, every defense, until she was laid bare, body and soul. And when she looked at me for the first time, I knew. She was already mine. A. Trigger Warning ⚠️: This story contains intense and graphic content, exploring dark and disturbing themes that may be triggering for some readers.
