𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐇𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐬 𝐓𝐨 𝐇𝐞𝐫." 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."

Others pull you under. Zarah Tekle thought she knew Alexander Blackwood- the brilliance, the power, the obsession. She never imagined how far that obsession would reach. When the truth finally breaks surface, she has a choice: run... or climb the throne he built to cage her. She chooses the throne. Because this is what happens when prey becomes predator. When hate feels like hunger. When two people can't destroy each other- so they destroy everything else instead.

    Everyone knows the story of Jim Hawkins and the map to Captain Flint's gold. What they don't know is that "Jim" is a disguise-and the real treasure belongs to a Duke's disgraced daughter. Jamena "Jamie" Hawkins was born to high nobility, carrying the biological inheritance and fierce reputation of two grand family trees. But when her cruel, hypocritical father, the Duke, abruptly cuts off her inheritance to punish her divorced mother, Jamena is plunged into a life of brutal, manual labor at a coastal tavern called The Admiral Benbow. At twenty-eight, she is a cynical spinster facing absolute ruin. When the rowdy local fishermen mistake her for a young lad and mockingly dub her "Jim," Jamena doesn't fight it. Instead, she shears her hair, dons her younger brother's tight breeches, and takes ruthless charge of the collapsing inn. She learns to command the taproom with a sharp, aristocratic bite of authority. But the tavern's fragile stability fractures with the arrival of a mad, rum-soaked sea captain, a terrifying blind beggar named Pew, and a blood-stained scrap of paper marked with the Black Spot. The criminal underworld believes they are hunting the dead Captain's crude, hand-scrawled chart. They have no idea that Jamena is hiding a far more dangerous secret in her wardrobe: a mathematically perfect original map and the salt-bleached flag of the notorious ship Walrus. Because Captain Flint wasn't just a pirate king-he was her biological father, and he raised her in secret to be his blood-soaked, ruthless heir. Now, with the wolves closing in and a suspicious local magistrate watching her every move, Jamena must decide how far she will go to protect her family. To survive, she might just have to become the monster her father always wanted her to be

    Ki-Ara stared at him for a moment before quietly asking, "Can I be on top?" The question caught him off guard so badly he almost laughed. "You're bold suddenly," he murmured teasingly. A faint smirk appeared on his face afterward, amused by the sudden confidence replacing her earlier nervousness. "Getting impatient already?" he murmured teasingly. Kiara frowned immediately, embarrassed but stubborn enough not to back down. "You're too slow," she shot back, cheeks burning. "And it's making me lose my mind. Either you get inside me... or else I'll do it myself." That finally broke him. Taehyung smiled against her lips like a man completely ruined already.
