forbiddenlove

I was sold to a monster, but I became a widow before the wedding night even began. Don Gio died in our bridal suite, leaving me untouched and terrified. I thought I was free... until the door burst open. Enter Nico Ferrante, the exiled heir and ruthlessly handsome devil who hated his father... and was now, my stepson. With a gun pointed at my head, I told the only lie that could save me from being executed as a gold-digger: "Don't shoot! I’m pregnant with the heir!" Nico didn't pull the trigger. Instead, he cornered me, stripping my soul bare with his dark eyes. He leaned in, his hot breath ghosting over my neck, and whispered the secret that should have killed me: "My father was impotent, little liar... Or should I say... step-mother?" But he didn't expose me. Instead, he offered a wicked arrangement. The Mafia Council demands an heir to prevent a war? Fine. He will give me one. Now, I am trapped in a golden cage, playing the grieving widow by day and submitting to my stepson’s dark demands by night. It’s a business transaction... But why does his touch set my body on fire? We are committing the ultimate sin for a crown of blood. But what happens when the lie becomes real?

Trigger Warning This story contains mature and dark themes including violence, assassination, psychological manipulation, obsessive romance, power imbalance, and morally grey characters. It explores toxic attraction, emotional trauma, betrayal, and scenes of life-threatening situations. Reader discretion is advised. --- Ariana is not a hero. She is not a victim. She is a weapon. A ghost trained to infiltrate, deceive, and eliminate without hesitation. She has survived by trusting no one and feeling nothing. Her latest mission is simple: kill Damian—the cold-blooded Mafia boss whose secrets could collapse empires—and disappear like she always does. But Damian is not a man who dies easily. He is ruthless. Calculating. A predator who built his kingdom on blood and fear. He notices everything. He trusts no one. And the moment Ariana steps into his world, he sees through her. What was meant to be a clean assassination spirals into something far more dangerous. Because Damian does not hunt alone. He hunts back. Every encounter becomes a silent war. Every touch feels like betrayal. Every moment together balances on the edge of violence. They circle each other like loaded guns with fingers on the trigger. Ariana was sent to destroy him. Damian is determined to break her first. In a city where loyalty is an illusion and death is currency, obsession grows in the cracks between survival and desire. They threaten each other. They provoke each other. They test how close they can stand to the edge before someone falls. Or jumps. Because when two people who do not value their own lives begin to crave each other, destruction is inevitable. This is not a love story built on softness. It is forged in blood, control, and dangerous surrender. And in the end, the question isn’t who will kill whom. It’s who will fall first. **** Assassin vibes—CHECKED Mafia danger—CHECKED Near-death tension / suicidal stakes—CHECKED Obsession / chemistry—CHECKED Psychological intensity—CHECKED

Amara Castillo never thought her first big break as a wedding coordinator would turn into a nightmare. Her best friend promised the job was for her cousin’s wedding, a glamorous event that could launch Amara into the top tier of her career. But it was a lie. The groom was not her cousin. He was her brother, Trey Alvarez. Amara grew up inside the Alvarez mansion as the maid’s daughter, living in the servants’ wing while luxury surrounded her. Trey was the heir, ten years older, raised to inherit power and wealth. Amara learned early how to stay quiet and unseen. For years, she loved him in secret. He was handsome, controlled, and carried the confidence of someone born for greatness. By the age of twenty-five, Trey had become the CEO of his father’s empire, shaped by pressure and expectations. On Amara’s fifteenth birthday, she finally confessed her feelings in the rose garden. For a brief moment, she thought she saw something forbidden in his eyes. Then his face hardened. “You’re just a child. The maid’s daughter. Stop believing in fairy tales.” He walked away and left her alone with her heartbreak. That night, the hopeful girl she once was disappeared. Ten years later, Amara is no longer invisible. She is now one of the city’s most in-demand wedding coordinators. This job should have changed her life for the better. Instead, it brings her face to face with the man who broke her heart. When they meet again, Trey is cold and dismissive. “So they trusted you with my wedding?” he says. “You’re not who I expected. I don’t want someone young and inexperienced handling it.” Years ago, those words would have crushed her. Now, she stands her ground. “You’re judging my age, not my ability,” she says. “That’s not confidence. That’s prejudice.” Trey is stunned. The quiet girl he once dismissed is gone. In her place is a confident woman who commands attention and does not back down. No matter how hard he tries, he cannot stop watching her. She was always supposed to be off-limits. Before, it was easy to tell himself she was too young and from a different world. Now, those excuses no longer work. Amara must plan every detail of Trey Alvarez’s wedding to another woman, surrounded by wealth, memories, and emotions she cannot escape. The longer she stays, the heavier the tension becomes. Glances linger. Silence speaks louder than words. Until one unexpected moment changes everything. Now, Amara’s career, her pride, and her heart are all at risk. Because planning someone else’s wedding is impossible when your own feelings refuse to stay buried.

Excerpts; “We can’t be doing this,” I warn, my breathing coming off more shallow than I’d like.

Nora Atwood has never been the kind of girl who kneels. Not for anyone. Not even for the Dragon King of Drakenval — a man who has ruled for seventeen years with cold eyes and colder silence, who stopped laughing at the age of nine and has not started since. When fate places an ordinary merchant's daughter before the most feared king in the realm, everyone expects her to tremble. To bow. To disappear quietly into the palace and be forgotten. Nora does none of these things. She negotiates. She argues. She picks the books she wants from his library and refuses to be impressed by his throne room. And slowly, impossibly, she becomes the only person in seventeen years who makes the Dragon King feel something he has no name for. He wrote her a two-hundred-page book and told no one. She has not decided what to do about that yet. A story about a king who forgot how to be human, and the girl who refused to let him stay that way.

Lucrezia Bathory has lived as an outcast from her pack until married to the rumored Devil’s Incarnate of Dreadwyn. A land built on souls of the dead and the throne of human bones—an ugly creature of the dark with sharp fangs, claws, and a monstrous form—known to eat the flesh of the innocent, and drink the marrow of the wicked.

A Daydream disguised as a Nightmare, and a Nightmare of many colors. *** EXCERPT “You want to know what I want?” He stepped forward, pinning her gaze deep into his bright hazel eyes, reminding her sanity she just treaded the wrong question. When he drew closer, she stepped back, heart drumming loud that its rhythmic sound replaced the sudden silence sealed with heat, until the back of her legs hit the table behind, taking her weight along its surface. Gods… she was only wearing a silk night gown, and the windows were perfectly closed, hearth warm enough against the cold yet she was burning. “I can’t breathe, Lucreiza,” He pronounced her name like a sinful prayer, and she gulped, her mouth almost hanging from delusion. “I can't breathe because you’re fucking me with your scent. I’m going crazy with every passing second I breathe, and seeing you like this, utterly bare, makes me want to make you beg.” It was so short, but she could feel every power, every restrian, every pleasure, just by words alone. How insane can it drive her, were determined by her reaction. Unknown emotions she has never felt before, emotions that heated and chilled her all at the same time. A gasp escaped her lips when he pressed closer, and her legs parted unconsciously, conceding to his unexpressed demand. Now she was pinned in between the body of a monster. One whom she should fear, but felt… expectation? He leaned in and she stuttered a breath, throwing her head back as his fangs grazed her skin in a manner that’s supposed to make her crawl. Run. But instead, it made her desperate. “You don't know even half of what I want, half of what I need.” At this point, Lucreiza’s mind was a totally mess that nothing else registered apart from what he was doing to her. “I’m not just the monster you should fear, witch. I’m the Devil you should deny,” That was the thing… she couldn’t reject him. Fear him. Stir clear. Run. Nothing else made sense to her apart from the burning flames in her chest, the one she never knew when exactly it transpired. The world seemed to cease when she opened her mouth and uttered the damnation, that even the heavens screamed warning from above. “Y-yes,” she whispered, voice hanging from ecstasy. “M-Make me b-beg,” PS: MATURED CONTENT. #webnovel

╭──────༺♡༻──────╮ In a city ruled by mafia bloodlines and vampire supremacy, survival is not a right—it’s a privilege that has to be earned. Adrian appears to be just a delivery worker trying to keep his mother alive in a world that devours the poor. But because of his bloodline he knows which streets to avoid, which eyes not to meet, and how to stay invisible. He’s learned that discipline keeps you alive longer than courage ever will. But one wrong hallway changes everything. After witnessing a murder meant to erase a past that refuses to stay buried, Adrian finds himself trapped under the control of Lucian Black—a young, untouchable vampire mafia boss whose power bends technology, territory, and lives with effortless precision. Adrian is not killed. He is kept. What begins as containment turns into something far more dangerous as Adrian proves impossible to break, impossible to discard, and increasingly impossible to ignore. Lucian remains cold, distant, unreachable—yet the longer Adrian exists within his world, the more fragile that distance becomes. In a society where vampires determine rank, loyalty is always bought with blood, and obsession is the deadliest currency of all, being wanted can be worse than being hunted. And some bonds, once formed, were never meant to be escaped. ╰──────༺♡༻──────╯ https://discord.gg/F5N7Ut45X. My book's discord server. Hi guys! it’s me again! This is my Cupid’s Quill entry.
