twisted

Ananya loved Subho all through school — quietly, painfully, and without a single hope he’d ever look back. He didn’t. In fact, his careless words left scars she carried for nineteen years. Now destiny brings them face-to-face at their best friend’s wedding. He’s older. Softer. And suddenly aware of the girl he once overlooked. She’s the woman he can’t stop noticing now. Between sangeet nights, playful banter, old friends, guilty apologies, and stolen moments… something begins to shift. But old wounds don’t disappear easily. And neither does old love. This time, when life brings them together again… will they finally choose each other? Or will the past steal their future one more time?

For three years, Autumn Hayes was invisible. The girl in oversized hoodies who ate lunch in the art room. The "charity case" scholarship kid at prestigious Crestwood Academy. The nobody. Then Crew Maverick—golden-haired, devastatingly beautiful, untouchable—asked her to prom. For two perfect months, Autumn believed in fairy tales. She believed someone like him could see someone like her. She gave him her first kiss, her trust, her carefully guarded heart. Until she overheard the truth at prom: "Fifty bucks says I can get the hoodie girl to fall for me by prom night. Easiest money I ever made." The laughter that followed shattered something fundamental inside her. Madison Pierce—Crestwood's queen bee and Crew's ex—had orchestrated the whole thing. A public humiliation designed to remind Autumn exactly where she belonged: beneath them. Autumn ran from that ballroom in a thrift-store dress, mascara running, soul bleeding. She spent the summer after junior year drowning in shame, replaying every moment she'd been stupid enough to believe she mattered. But somewhere between the tears and the rage, Autumn Hayes died. And someone new was born. Three months later, senior year begins. The girl who walks through Crestwood's gates isn't wearing a hoodie. Her previously hidden figure is toned and confident in designer clothes her mysterious "summer job" somehow afforded. Her once-mousy brown hair is now a striking auburn with perfect styling. The glasses are gone, revealing eyes that used to hide behind frames but now meet gazes with unsettling directness. No one recognizes her. Not at first. Crew Maverick does a double-take in the hallway, his practiced charm faltering. Kade Zhang—his best friend and Crestwood's resident bad boy genius—actually drops his coffee. Even Ezra Holloway, the quiet athletic scholarship student who used to nod at Autumn in passing, stares openly. Madison Pierce's perfectly glossed smile cracks when the new girl doesn't shrink from her presence. But here's what none of them understand: Autumn isn't playing their game anymore. She's not here for revenge. She's not here to prove anything. She spent the summer discovering who she is when no one's watching—and she likes that person too much to trade her for their approval. So what if Crew is suddenly desperate to explain, to apologize, to get back what he destroyed? So what if Kade sees her as a puzzle he's determined to solve? So what if Ezra finally finds the courage to say he's noticed her all along? So what if Madison's throne is wobbling now that someone refuses to bow? Autumn Hayes learned the hard way that she was never the problem. They were just too shallow to see her depth. Now they can't look away. But she's already moved on.

The night that was supposed to be the peak of my life became the night I lost everything. My step-sister Rose stole my achievements. My fiancé chose her over me. My father handed over the company I built with my own hands… to her. And when I finally walked away, broken and exhausted, Karl followed me home—drunk, furious, and ready to destroy what little I had left. One blow to the head was all it took to end Jenna Harvour. At least, that’s what the world was meant to believe. I didn’t die. I woke up drugged, half-conscious, and listening to people decide how to “dispose” of me. I heard Rose’s voice ordering my death to be written off as suicide. I heard doctors bargaining over my body. And when I was finally strong enough to open my eyes, I was greeted by a stranger’s face and a new name forced onto me: Jenna Lorance. They buried my old identity. They held a funeral with my name on it. And I was expected to disappear quietly into this new life they created. But the world doesn’t get rid of me that easily. My unexpected lifeline comes in the form of Damian Black—the heir to the largest mafia syndicate and the last person I ever thought would notice me. He shouldn’t care about a woman like me… yet he’s the only one who looks at me as if he can sense the truth beneath my new skin. Revenge is easy. Escaping him is not. Because once a man like Damian decides you’re his, he doesn’t let go—not even if the whole world believes you’re already dead. _________ Re-upload because I needed to fix first 6 chapters [Warning: Mature Context, R18+]

Evelyn Walters was the perfect heiress, until one reckless night with her father’s greatest enemy ruined everything. Pregnant, disgraced, and cast out of the Walters family, she left with nothing but her unborn child. Years later, she's survived. But as a single mother, the life she built was fragile until the man from her past discovered the truth. Now he wants her and his son. But how can Evelyn trust the father of her child... when he's also the enemy of the man who raised her? **** Excerpt: "B-Boss... the woman you slept with that night... she wasn't the supermodel the company just signed," Dylan stammered, his voice trembling. Axel's brow furrowed even further. He tried digging through the hazy, alcohol-soaked memories of that night.  Of course, he remembered the party. He remembered the whiskey. But the woman? Nope. His brain served up a blank slate. "Who was she?" Dylan swallowed. "The first daughter of William Walters." "Cough! Cough!" Axel coughed violently, his face turning red and eyes wide with shock. He never thought that woman would end up in his bed.  --- Curiosity won, as always. Evelyn grabbed the remote and hit the power button. The screen lit up, and her jaw dropped. Her eyes went wide, as if the Grim Reaper himself had just stepped out of the TV to ask for her phone number. “What the…? Why does my personal source of misery pop up the second I turn this thing on?” Because there he was, Axel Knight, gliding out of his luxury car like some corporate deity on his way to a business banquet. Evelyn scrambled for the remote to turn it off, but of course, fate had other plans. Axel turned to the camera and gave a casual wave, acknowledging the paparazzi vultures lined up outside. She hated to admit it, but the man looked sinfully good in his signature black suit and high turtleneck, his sleek black hair framing a face that could stop traffic and quite possibly her breathing. Then, suddenly, her stomach clenched. Her hand instinctively rubbed her flat belly. “Little tenant, did you just say you recognize him?”

For three years, Elena Hart played the perfect substitute. She married Adrian Castellano wearing her stepsister's wedding dress, answered to whispered comparisons, and watched her own fashion designs get stolen and branded under someone else's name. She told herself love could bloom even in borrowed soil. She was a fool. The night of the Castellano Empire's biggest merger celebration, Elena found her husband in his office—not working, but tangled with Vivian, her stepsister, the woman Elena had been replacing all along. Her career, her dignity, her three years of devotion—all crushed in one devastating moment. "You were just keeping the seat warm," Vivian purred, wearing the necklace Adrian had given Elena for their anniversary. "He's always loved me. You were just... convenient." Adrian's silence was confirmation enough. Divorce papers in hand, Elena walked away from the Castellano fortune without taking a dime. Her family—the Harts who'd sold her into this sham marriage—disowned her for "ruining" their connection to wealth. She had nothing. She was no one. Or so they thought. The joke was on them. The "old, impotent tycoon" her family forced her to marry after the divorce—the reclusive Vincent Rothwell whom society assumed was a decrepit seventy-year-old invalid—turned out to be a devastatingly handsome thirty-four-year-old mogul who'd been living under false rumors to avoid gold-diggers. Two years later, Elena returns to the world that rejected her as Elise Moreau, the mysterious fashion empire CEO taking Europe by storm, with Vincent Rothwell—very much alive, very much virile, and very much obsessed with his wife—by her side. Adrian Castellano finally realizes the woman he dismissed was never the substitute. She was always the original. And now she's completely, utterly, devastatingly out of his reach.

I was Nate Cole, Captain of CSI, and damn good at my job. I followed the law, trusted the evidence, and never let anyone distract me, not the force or even the criminals I locked behind bars. But it's been five years since I played a hand in locking up Mafia Boss Adrian Blackwood, and five years later, Adrian Blackwood's name resurfaces, and it's forced back into my life. He is the dark, ruthless, devastatingly handsome Mafia Boss serving a twenty‑year sentence at Hell’s Watch, the city’s most notorious high‑security prison. A fortress built to cage mafia lords, serial offenders, and corrupt officials, and a place where even the guards whispered about inmates who ruled empires from behind steel bars. Face to face, Adrian drawled proudly, “You’re the one who came to me, Nate Cole… what makes you think I’ll cooperate with you or that you can resist me?” His gray eyes smoldered, daring me to look away. I leaned back, meeting his gaze evenly. “Resist you? You’re a fucking bastard behind bars. I don’t do fantasies nor do I don’t entertain criminals.” He smirked, stepping closer, voice low and teasing. “Criminals, maybe… but you look like someone who enjoys losing control, and I bet on my life that I can make you beg.” He was the key to a case I couldn’t solve without him, and every glance, every word, every brush of his presence set my pulse racing, and his control was intoxicating, and his power was undeniable. “I will break you beautifully, completely, and only into mine,” he whispered, a dangerous promise that shattered every rational thought in my head as the sizzling chemistry and attraction rose between us. I was supposed to stay professional and resist the damn bastard, but some chains were meant to be broken, and some temptations weren’t meant to be denied. Adrian Blackwood was my enemy, and falling for him might have been the most dangerous, most thrilling crime I’d ever committed. I had no idea which one of us was going to survive the darkness… me or him, but I was sure that he was everything my body and heart desired. Could we survive the treachery around us or would the final truth break us?
