"You act like you're indestructible, but you're not."
"Guess you'd know best, huh?"
----
Elisa Regina Thomas was born into the spotlight, constantly under the watchful eye of the world due to her powerful family. To everyone, she's just another privileged child in the long lineage of the Castillo family-a spoiled heiress with nothing but wealth and status. But beneath her perfect façade lies a deadly secret. Elisa is The Phantom, the most feared and respected assassin in the underworld, trained and molded by her family since birth.
Zeke Dagher, Syria's most eligible bachelor, has everything: wealth, charm, and an almost mythical status that leaves people clamoring for his attention. But Zeke's focus has never been on the countless admirers who throw themselves at him. Instead, his mind has always been on one person: Elisa. The girl who used to be his childhood best friend, the one he teased and cared for despite the distance the worlds placed between them. But when Zeke turned 18 and Elisa finally confessed the feelings she had kept hidden for so long, Zeke rejected her.
He broke her heart to obey his family, and Elisa hasn't forgiven him since.
Years later, their lives collide once again when Elisa, now pregnant and hiding from enemies, is forced to take refuge at one of Zeke's luxurious resorts. The years of separation haven't dulled the sharp edge of their unresolved feelings, and the chemistry between them is undeniable. But beneath the surface, there's still the hurt, the rejection, and the secrets that neither of them is ready to confront.
Can Elisa and Zeke navigate the wreckage of their past to build a future together? Or will the wounds they've carried for years be too deep to heal?

In the harsh streets of Naples, amidst a cold, rainy night, stands an eight-year-old girl, carrying on her shoulders a past heavier than her years. Marie... a girl who wasn't born an orphan, but fate stole her mother, then her innocence at the hands of a father addicted to alcohol and gambling, before tossing her out of his life like a worn-out piece of cloth. But in a moment of despair and loss, a luxurious black car stopped, and a man named Lorenzo Marini stepped out... a mysterious businessman who lived between the luxury watch trade and, beneath it, the illicit arms trade. He adopted her, hid her from the world, and raised her in the shadows, far from the eyes of his four children... children who had no idea of her existence. Fifteen years later, when he reunites them in the family mansion, he announces his intention to marry. The children prepare to confront the strange woman their father will marry... But the shock lies not in the woman, but in Marie herself.

But will they fall in love with her? Or into her trap? And does Lorenzo truly want the best for her... or is he manipulating her as part of a game much bigger than love?Complete

Perish
They were split apart as children. Reunited by force. Bound by secrets no one dares to name. At seven, Elisha was dropped into the foster care system, cold beds, colder hands, cut off from her twin sister and older brothers without explanation. Aurora stayed behind, raised by a mother who sold her body and a stepfather who promised to come back and never did. Eight years pass. The brothers return, dragging both girls into a home that barely feels like theirs. But this isn't a reunion, it's a collision. Elisha hides her trauma behind silence and sharpened edges, a hidden fire in her. Aurora masks hers with perfection, hunger, and a constant need to be chosen. Neither of them talks about the past. Neither of them knows how. Love simmers in forbidden places. Truths unravel in dangerous ways. And while the family tries to rebuild, they do so blindly, each of them hiding pieces of the story that might save the others, or destroy them. This isn't about healing. It's about surviving what no one else sees and what happens when survival isn't enough. Until everyone perishes. *Includes a good amount of smut. (MAJOR PLOT TWISTS) *************************************************** * MAJOR TRIGGER WARNING. * Rape.Abuse.Suicide.Death.Violence.Psychotic. Killing. Obsession.

I didn't exactly choose to be stolen at four years old. But the French underworld isn't big on consent. One minute I was Donatella Acardi, Mafia royalty. The next? Just another stolen kid bleeding in someone else's basement. That's where I met Amir. We bonded over near-death experiences and shared trauma. Real cute stuff. Then Demetri found us-trained us, broke us, built us back. We became something the underworld whispered about when they thought no one was listening. Angela Della Morte. Morte Nera. The Angel of Death and the Black Death. It has a ring to it, doesn't it? We're not kids anymore. We're not victims either. And we have one job: burn the French Mafia to the ground. Starting with the Don who ruined everything. But revenge doesn't follow a clean checklist. Especially not when I'm suddenly face-to-face with the family I swore I'd never see again... Yay. Now I'm stuck balancing the ghost of who I was with the assassin I've become... while navigating a castle full of lies, power plays, surveillance systems, olive oil, and one very inconvenient slow-burn romance.
