The devil is as real as you or I.
The devil owns her heart.
He owns your every thought, your every move.
He owns your dignity and your undying allegiance.
But he doesn't own the blood on his hands.
Still, the devil is as real as you or I.
The devil owns his heart.
She owns the fear in yours.
She owns your city's silence.
But she doesn't own the demons of her past.
In a world of drugs, desire and danger, the King and Queen of Mexico are failing to keep up.
For how does a Queen tame her King's insatiable appetite for revenge?
How does a King keep his Queen from self-destructing?
With too much lost between them, the fight to conquer and reclaim their future is on.
Prepare to meet the Devil.

Twisted Love
[Started Writing : 3rd August, 2023] "For fuck sake, leave me alone." I screamed out as tears commenced gathering in my eyes. He said nothing. He just sat there watching me lose my temper. "Answer me." I growled shooting daggers on his way with my eyes. "Be my girlfriend. You will get everything you lost." "I don't want to be." "You have no choice." Anastasia wants nothing but to get out of the hell hole called 'her life'. They say study hard and then you can earn money and have a good life. But despite having a degree in hands she was still jobless. When life was giving her bitter test then when a devil showed up at the door of her heart, dressed like an angel. The devil wants nothing but a favour from her while promising her everything she wants. Morally grey. That's the definition to construe Alex Vesper. Strict, rude, emotionless, focused and evil. He wants nothing but revenge from a certain someone who might have scratched his ego a little bit. And at that time Anastasia was the best option for him.
