The hanging tree has been a vital part of the growing little islet settlement for years. As a trade port too far off popular trade routes, the people have never had much need for a proper justice system. The hanging tree is enough. It's always been enough. Yet unbeknownst to these naive people, darkness lurks. It's always hiding until it isn't.All Rights Reserved

The System We Serve by 6439O3130278

Some people fight the system. Others learn to serve it in the only way that makes sense. May Ashford has spent years working in financial crimes for the NCA, following the money trails that keep London's underground world alive. She knows the truth most don't want to admit-crime and power aren't enemies. They are partners. And in the delicate balance of corruption and control, the Lombardi family stands at the centre of it all. Adam Lombardi was born into power. The heir to one of the most respected, feared, and dangerously ethical crime families in London, he isn't a villain-but he's no hero either. Unlike the other syndicates that rule the city, the Lombardis refuse to deal in weapons, drugs, or senseless violence. Their business is control. Their currency is influence. Their survival depends on knowing exactly when to strike and when to stay silent. When May and Adam's paths collide in an unexpected moment of vulnerability, neither of them realizes what they've set into motion. She should be investigating him. He should be eliminating her as a threat. Instead, they start protecting each other in ways neither can explain. She isn't his enemy. He isn't her case. And in a world where loyalty is currency, power is survival, and morality is negotiable, they both begin to understand the same truth- There is no justice. There is no clean escape. There is only the system they serve.

Outlaw | 18+ by devilseyez

In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur-it shatters. She's the kind of woman you're warned about. Calculating. Lethal. The first to smile in your face and twist the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. Cold-blooded. Unforgiving. The embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain-trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw-where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law. Highest Ranks: #1 - badgirl #1 - secretsociety [𝐀𝐥𝐥 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐞𝐝, 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐲𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 @𝐝𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐥𝐬𝐞𝐲𝐞𝐳 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒]

Love etched in silver | Minsung by -lixfreckles-

"You're the prince. I'm your guard. This can't happen." The words are sharp, spoken like a warning, but neither of them moves away. "If anyone finds out..." "Let them. I'd fight the whole world for you." The crown prince has always felt trapped-by duty, by expectation, by the weight of a crown he doesn't want. Now, he's being forced into a marriage with a foreign princess to secure the kingdom's future. But his heart belongs to someone else. He is conflicted, torn between his duty and the feelings he can't quite understand, unsure of what it means for his heart and his sexuality. The knight sworn to protect him has always kept his distance. Bound by an oath of loyalty, he knows his place is at the prince's side, not in his arms. But as danger threatens the kingdom and their bond deepens, the forbidden becomes impossible to resist. Duty demands sacrifice. The crown demands obedience. But what about the demands of the heart? ⚠️Triggerwarnings⚠️ - smut -adult content -blood -death -violence -sa This story is a work of fiction.
