A psychology student who believes the mind can be understood, healed, and protected unaware that her own life is about to be rewritten by a man who believes control is the purest form of power. Soft-spoken yet resilient, she carries strength in her stillness and defiance in her quiet survival. Adhikrit Singh Chauhan is dominance etched in legacy and blood. A ruthless CEO born of royal pride and unforgiving ambition, feared in boardrooms and beyond. To him, emotions are weaknesses and love is a liability. Cold, calculating, and dangerously possessive he does not seek hearts. He claims them. When a marriage is forged not by destiny but by vengeance, Sehher becomes bound to a man who sees her as retribution, not a promise. Hatred becomes his weapon. Her fear, his control. Yet within the suffocating grip of obsession, something far more dangerous begins to take shape desire that refuses to stay buried. What happens when control turns into craving? When punishment begins to feel like possession? And when hatred starts to burn like love? Step into a world where marriage is a cage, power is inherited, and love is the most dangerous rebellion of all.

Valerie was never meant to be his. But Henry has never been good at letting go. Drowning under student loans, rent she can't afford, and a future slipping through her fingers, Valerie answers a newspaper ad that feels almost like a joke- a live-in maid at a private estate, no questions asked. She expects an eccentric old man. She does not expect him. Henry is hauntingly gentle, painfully isolated, and untouched by the human world he has kept at a careful distance. Raised in secrecy and self-imposed exile, he has spent his life trying to suppress the monster his blood demands him to be. Letting Valerie cross his threshold is a mistake he knows he should not make-and one he cannot bring himself to undo. What begins as shelter turns into fixation. Protection becomes possession. And lust sharpens into something dangerous enough to draw blood. Dragged into an ancient underworld of vampire royalty, ruthless power, and unspoken cruelty, Valerie finds herself bound to a man who would destroy anything that threatens her -- even if that threat is the world itself. Escape is no longer simple. Survival means choosing who you are willing to become a monster for. Because in Henry's world, love is not gentle... and it is paid for in blood. New chapter daily

"Say my name" He growled. "Da.. Darius" I whimpered. He yanks my head back, forcing me to look at him. "Remember it well, little viper," He smirked.

*"I have a few conditions."* Ram Singh Rana built his life on ambition. Siya Shetty built hers on grace. One is determined to build an empire worthy of his name. The other has spent a lifetime protecting hers. When duty binds them in a marriage neither asked for, respect comes before affection, silence speaks louder than promises, and the strongest bond begins with a conversation neither of them will ever forget. What happens when a man who has never been challenged finally meets a woman who doesn't challenge him with defiance, but with quiet certainty?

They said it was the only way out. The Alcover family fell deep into a debt they could never repay - and the Vancaz clan doesn't accept money or property as final payment. They want something more valuable. Someone. Eighteen-year-old Xhiannah Alcover - rebellious, chaotic, and too lazy to care about proper rules - is handed over as the price. Her new "owner"? Vincent Vancaz: twenty-five, cold, silent, feared by every soul in the underworld, with amber eyes that turn dark when he's serious and a scar that marks him as dangerous. He never asked for a wife. He never wanted her. But a deal is a deal, and debts must be collected. To him, she is nothing but collateral. But what happens when the thing you only meant to keep... becomes the only thing you refuse to let go? Cold rules. Chaotic spirit. A contract written not in ink, but in control. ----------------------- "He gave me a nice compliment, while you didn't? Damn, bro, that actually hurts. Am I not sexy enough for you, Vincey?" I teased him, acting completely unbothered by the fact that we had both almost died. Vincent didn't look at me. He calmly reached for his glass of red wine, his stony profile completely ignoring my nudge. "You are collateral, Alcover." he murmured, his voice flat, ruthless, and devoid of any warmth. "Nothing more." I rolled my eyes, leaning back. "You really are a party pooper, you know that?"

Her father built an empire on silence and steel. When they killed him, they expected her to grieve quietly and disappear. They miscalculated. Corren Vale does not mourn in public. She does not collapse in private. She identifies every person who smiled at her father's funeral while holding the knife that put him in the ground, and she begins, methodically, to remove them. Chicago does not belong to the grieving. It belongs to whoever is willing to do what no one else will stomach. Corren has always known that. She just never thought she would have to prove it this publicly, or this permanently. Nico DeLuca is not an ally. He is not a partner. He is a problem she cannot solve without creating a worse one. Son of a Mafia captain, raised between old money and street violence, he operates on instinct and appetite. He has never once been told no by anyone who survived the conversation. He believes she is a liability dressed in a nice coat. She believes he will burn everything she is trying to build. They are both right. The city is watching. The bodies are accumulating. And somewhere beneath the war, beneath the posturing and the gunfire and the rooms that smell like iron and expensive cologne, something is developing between them that neither of them has a name for and both of them recognize as catastrophic. No Mercy Avenue is a mature dark romance set in the criminal underground of Chicago: violence, power, obsession, and the cost of inheriting a throne built on blood. ©️ RelleLebby // R. L.
