mafia

Vael Dusk arrived in Kuala Lumpur with forty-three dollars, a duffel bag, and two years worth of running behind him. He wasn't looking for a fight. He was looking for enough money to disappear — somewhere cold, somewhere quiet, somewhere the dead couldn't find him. He'd left the Army with a discharge paper that said *cleared* and a head that said otherwise. Four men were buried because of a call he made. He'd been paying for it ever since in the only currency he had left — movement. Never stop. Never sit still. Never let the quiet catch up. The quiet caught up anyway. It always does. One night in The Pit — Kuala Lumpur's most brutal underground fight ring — changed everything. Vael won. Not cleanly. Not carefully. He won the way a man wins when he has nothing left to protect, which is the most dangerous way there is. Victor Shen was watching from the shadows. Victor Shen is always watching. What follows is a descent. Through the underground circuit of Southeast Asia — Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila, back to KL — where fighters are assets, loyalty is a leash, and the only way out is through. Vael will rise through ranks built on blood and debt and silence. He will find Raza, who sees what he is and trains him anyway. He will find Danny, who looks up to him with the specific trust of someone too young to know better. He will find Mei Lin — Victor's own niece, dismantling the empire from inside it, the one person in this world who looks at Vael and sees past the veil to whatever lives underneath. He will lose them. Not all of them. But enough. Enough to break something in him that was already cracked. Enough to turn the hidden thing loose. This is not a story about a fighter who becomes a champion. It's a story about a man who carries a demon he can barely control, in a world that will do everything it can to make him stop trying. *Some men enter the circuit looking for money.* *Some enter looking for glory.* *Vael Dusk entered looking for nothing.* *That made him the most dangerous man in the room.*

"You want to be in the same room," Cassian drawled slowly, "While I fuck another woman?" Cixi thought about the contract she wrote herself, a smile pulling on her lips as she turned to face him. "Absolutely." Some might think she was mad. To be truthful, Cixi didn't think she was quite sane either. Her drive to live had been mangled and left in tattered pieces, so what else was she to do but find a reason to keep breathing again? Her life had been hell, and it had shown her that only the devils got to be happy, while everyone else burned. And since she wasn't a devil, she just needed to make a contract with one... A billionaire mafia boss who was a walking sin, feared and revered, and had more power than he knew what to do with it? He will do.

[Warning: R18+ Content] I thought I was going to die. So I chose to be remembered. One night. One drink. One sin I could never take back. But the men I met at the bar weren’t strangers. They were The Trident… three ruthless heirs of the Corvanni Dynasty, the most feared mafia bloodline alive. Draven. Silent, merciless, a predator cloaked in shadows. Lucian. Calculative, hauntingly beautiful, a devil with a silver tongue. And Azriel. Wild, reckless, dangerously addictive. They don’t ask. They take. And now they want me… completely. Their obsession burns hotter than their empire. Their touch is forbidden, but I can’t resist. Because the deeper I fall, the clearer it becomes… I’m not just their desire. I’m their ruin. Excerpt ********** “Run if you want, Jade.” The nickname rolled off Lucian’s tongue like a promise and a threat, one no one had ever dared call me before. My breath hitched, legs trembling, but before I could take a step, Draven’s hand closed around my wrist… iron, unyielding. “You think you can walk away after tasting us?” His voice was quiet, deadly, sending shivers straight to my core. Azriel leaned in from behind, his lips brushing the shell of my ear as his laughter burned through me. “Sweetheart, we don’t chase what’s already ours. And you, little Jade…” his teeth grazed my skin, “…you belong to the Trident now.” Azriel’s fingers tilted my chin up, his grin sinful, dangerous, carved just for me. “Tell me, Jade,” he purred, voice thick with lust, “what do you want?” Heat scorched my skin, my lips parting, but no words came. My body betrayed me, trembling against the wall of Draven’s chest while Lucian’s hand traced lazy circles on my thigh, teasing, tormenting. Azriel’s laugh was low, filthy. “No, sweetheart. Don’t just tremble for us. Say it.” His thumb brushed my lower lip, slow, taunting. “Say what you want. Say you want our hands, our mouths, our cocks… say it, and I’ll give you everything.” Draven’s breath was at my neck, steady, lethal. “Careful,” he murmured, “once you speak it aloud, there’s no going back.” Lucian’s whisper slid against my ear, silken poison. “And when you do, Jade, you’ll never remember what it felt like to be untouched.” My mouth opened before my brain could reason… “I want you,” I whispered. Draven’s hand tightened, Lucian’s eyes darkened, Azriel laughed as if the world had finally given him his prize. Three bodies pressed in, heat and danger wrapping me like a cage I couldn’t escape. Didn’t want to escape. My heart screamed to run, but my body whispered the truth. I wanted them… All of them. ********** Three men. One woman. A love story carved in blood and obsession.

Broken and betrayed by those she loved and cared for, Scarlett wants revenge. A revenge that drove her into making a deal with the king of Dons—Xavier Grey. A ruthless and cold-hearted Don whose past held dark secrets that made him the man he was today. The initial deal was no love, just pleasure. But Scarlett began to develop feelings for him, feelings that could forever destroy her. Because in his world, where blood is shed mercilessly and only the strong survive, there’s no room for emotions. ^^^^^^^^^^ “We could make it work, Xavier,” I cried out. “Just give it a chance, pl……” My heart leaped out of my chest when he slowly looked up at me, instantly shutting me up. Those eyes—dark, empty, yet beautiful. I once feared them with everything in me, and now that fear was coming back. Cutting through my airway. I shivered backwards. “Please…” I whispered, clinching to the fragile garment on my aching chest. “The deal is over,” his cold voice broke through. “Get the fuck out of my house.” He spoke, and I felt my heart shatter into a thousand pieces. ************** “Don’t even think of it,” Damien’s voice broke in. “You can’t possibly be falling in love with her.” He spoke with a serious expression, but I could still see it—the lurking fear hidden in his eyes as he paced about. “You know what happens when you fall in love, or even have anything to do with a girl,” he said again. “It’s best not to reopen closed wounds…” “Yeah, thanks for the reminder,” I replied sarcastically before walking out. His voice trailed behind me— calling me back, but I didn’t look back. Not for once. I fucking hate this world. I can’t wait for it to all be over. ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Strictly adult content. Read with caution. Dark romance. Dark secrets. Dark revenge.

Salin just wanted to survive. Drowning in debt, desperate to pay for his mother’s surgery, he had no way out. The last thing he expected was that one kiss with a stranger would turn his world upside down. Jun-Ho was cold, dangerous, a mafia heir and scarred by a past that made him reject any kind of touch. He had never felt desire. Never wanted anyone. Until Salin. One kiss changed everything. Fear turned into craving. A frozen body stirred. But Jun-Ho didn’t know how to deal with it, so he made an offer Salin couldn’t refuse: “Pretend to be my fiancé. In return, your debt disappears.” Salin agreed. Because he had to. But also... because he wanted to. Jun-Ho’s gaze promised pleasure. His touch trembled. And Salin wanted more. But Jun-Ho wanted too, and couldn’t act on it. And that slowly tore them both apart. Salin teased, surrendered, backed off, then tried again. Jun-Ho burned, torn between fear and longing. Between panic and pleasure. And when the touch finally happened… it was too much. Intense.

What started as a deal turned into obsession, desire, and danger. ~ Mature Content Warning: This story explores psychological trauma, themes related to organized crime, healing, intense romance, and therapy.
