Splendid Melancholy

[ MATURE CONTENT] ( Emotional and high stake scenes) [ " Your past is my problem now, so are you"] ***** Four years ago, Evelyn Ashford made a mistake that would haunt her forever. As a trusted FBI agent, she mishandled the investigation of Adams Hayes, an accused man who was innocent. He came to her with evidence proving his innocence, but before she could act, he died by suicide. In despair and fearing the consequences, Evelyn destroyed the evidence and buried the secret, choosing to protect her career and reputation over justice. Since then, every award, every press celebration, every compliment has been a reminder of the life she failed to save — yet she wears a flawless, carefully crafted smile. Now, her next assignment brings her face-to-face with Silas Montclair, a powerful, enigmatic mafia heir suspected of financial crimes. Silas isn’t just a target — he is the only man who knows her darkest secret. He doesn’t just threaten her career; he threatens her very soul. To survive, Evelyn must obey his rules, hide every trace of his illicit dealings, and endure a contract that binds her success to his control. Every smile she wears hides the trembling heart beneath; every move is a careful negotiation between power and survival. As she navigates this treacherous world of high-stakes crime, blackmail, and corporate domination, something unexpected happens: attraction sparks in the shadows of danger, and trust becomes as dangerous as deceit. When the past resurfaces — the real culprit behind Adams Hayes’s death is finally revealed — Evelyn and Silas must confront secrets, lies, and truths that could destroy them both. In a world where wealth dazzles, power seduces, and secrets can kill, Evelyn must choose: protect herself and live in fear, or confront the darkness and risk everything for love, justice, and redemption. A story of ambition, guilt, forbidden desire, and relentless suspense — welcome to Splendid Melancholy.

Love The Way He Lied

Eva's Pov— "Eyan…" my voice trembled, the words barely escaping my lips. "Are you… Kyel?" He smiled faintly, the warmth I once knew gone from his eyes. "Looks like you found out," he said, his tone light, almost mocking. "Finally. Now I don't have to play this tedious game anymore." My heart thudded painfully. "What are you saying?" He stepped closer, his shadow falling over me. "That's right," he whispered, his voice low and sharp. "I am Kyel..." The word cut through me like a blade. My breath hitched. "No… no, you're lying. You're not my Kyel....you are not my husband." He leaned closer, his eyes cruel. "Then how do I know about the mole just below your right shoulder blade? The one only your husband would ever see?" I froze. He was telling the truth. My lips trembled. "Why… why did you lie to me, Eyan?" "Your Majesty," he snapped suddenly. I blinked. "W-what?" "You are not allowed to call me by name," he said coldly. "Call me what I am. Your Majesty." Tears burned my eyes. "Kyel… please, tell me why. If there's a reason—" "No," he interrupted. "There was no reason." My heart twisted painfully. "What?" "I lied because I wanted to," he said flatly. "I had no reason. And I owe you no explanation." I stared at him in disbelief. "But I'm your wife—" He laughed bitterly. "No. You're not my wife. You're just a woman I shared my bed with." My tears finally fell. "You said you loved me…" His voice turned to ice. "It was all a lie. I—Eyan Lucien Therald—never loved you. Not once." The world spun around me. He turned away, pulled open a drawer, and thrust a parchment toward me. "Sign this." My fingers shook as I took it. "What… is this?" "Divorce papers," he said coldly. "I've already signed. All that's left is your signature." "Divorce…" I whispered, my voice breaking. "Once you sign, we're done," he said. "You'll leave Velmoria and never return." Tears blurred my vision. "What about… our child that I'm carrying?" I stepped closer, my voice shaking. "Don't tell me you don't care about our child, too." He turned. "No. I don't." My heart stopped. "You… don't care?" "You were the one who wanted a child. I never did. But I gave you one. Isn't that enough?" I shook my head, sobbing. "Please, stop… please." "Now sign the papers," he said coldly. "Take the child with you and get out of Velmoria. Never show me that face again." "No. I won't." His voice thundered through the room. "Guards!" The door burst open. "Yes, Your Majesty?" "Take her out of this room," he ordered without looking at me. "Throw her out of the palace—and make sure she never steps foot inside again." I screamed, struggling against the guards' grip. "Eyan! Please—listen to me! Don't do this!" But he didn't turn around. Not once. As the doors slammed shut behind me, I looked at him one last time— and the love I always saw in his eyes… was no longer there. --------------------------------------------------------

BEAUTIFUL RUIN

He saved me from a bullet I never needed saving from—and now he thinks I belong to him. Dante Moretti is everything the rumors say: ruthless, powerful, and untouchable. As the Don of one of Sicily’s oldest crime families, he commands empires with a glance and destroys enemies without hesitation. When he pulls me from the wreckage of an ambush meant for him, he sees a frightened woman in need of protection. He doesn’t see the assassin I was trained to be. For fifteen years, I’ve been a ghost—no name, no past, no attachments. The Covenant made sure of that when they took me at twelve and molded me into their perfect weapon. Now they’ve given me one final assignment: kill Dante Moretti. Complete it, and I’m free. Fail, and I’m dead. The plan is simple: play the damsel, earn his trust, and strike when his guard is down. But nothing about Dante is simple. He’s not the monster I expected. He plays Chopin at midnight, fights to end the cycle of violence that destroyed his family, and looks at me like I’m something precious instead of the poison I really am. Every day in his world, the lies get harder to maintain. Every night in his arms, I forget why I came. And when he whispers that he’s falling for me, I realize I’m falling too—for a man I’m supposed to kill. But The Covenant doesn’t forgive betrayal. My mentor, the only mother I’ve ever known, has her own vendetta against Dante—one that spans decades and demands blood. When the truth comes out and the masks fall away, I’ll have to choose between the only life I’ve ever known and a love that could destroy us both. In a world where loyalty is currency and love is weakness, how do you choose between duty and desire? Between the weapon you were made to be and the woman you’re desperate to become? Some loves are worth dying for. But this one might require me to live. Perfect for fans of: Natasha Knight, Danielle Lori, and Bella Di Corte Tropes: Assassin x Target • Forbidden Love • Forced Proximity • Grumpy/Sunshine • Betrayal • Second Chances • Mafia Romance
