Undressed By The Mafia God

"Luca, please…" she cried. "You need to see who the devil really is. And decide if you want me that way," he said. "Because this is who I am. You either accept it or reject it." Luca's hand reached for a knife from the array of tools spread meticulously on the desk. "I wanted to prolong his suffering…" he murmured. "Luca…" she whispered. "But since this is a show and tell…" Without a pause, he cut the rope holding Inferi's wrists, letting the man drop heavily to the floor with a thud that made the room shudder. Inferi's eyes, wide with terror, flicked to Vee as his body twisted weakly under the weight of his injuries. "This isn't one of those times when you ask me to let someone go, I am going to kill him right here." "You have two choices," he continued. "Walk away right now, and I will accept that you will never accept who I am. Or stay and watch me kill him, to prove to me that you accept all of me, that you want all of me." "God, please, Luca, don't do this." Behind Luca, Inferi struggled weakly on the floor. Luca looked only at her. "It's simple, Vee. I am giving you a choice. I don't have a gun to your head, now, do I? Are you ashamed of who I am, or do you accept who I am?" "It's not so simple!" Vee yelled. "You're asking me to stand here while you take a life." "I will count to ten." He gestured with the knife toward the steel door behind her. "There is the door. Here is me." "Jesus!" Vee bit down on her lower lip. She squeezed her eyes shut. "Jesus Christ!" "One…" "Two…" She stepped toward him. "Three…" "I'm not running." She moved closer. "I will not run. I will stay." "Four…" Vee drew in a shaky breath, steadying herself against the tidal wave inside her. "I meant what I said last night. I said I love you. I meant it. But don't subject me to this. It will not change how I feel about you. It won't." She stepped even closer, until the knife hovered inches from her hip. "But it will most definitely change me." She swallowed hard. "If you make me stand here and watch this, you are not testing my love. You are reshaping me into something I may never recognize again." Her hands came up slowly and pressed against his chest. "I love the man who protects. The man who terrifies everyone else but holds me like I matter." Her eyes glistened, but she did not look away. "I know what you are. I accept what you are. But do not ask me to become it." "Five…" Luca moved behind Inferi now, the knife hovering at his throat. Vee's feet rooted to the floor, the edge of Luca's jacket gripped tightly in her fists. Her eyes, brimming with tears locked onto his, daring him to see, really see, what she was becoming in his presence. "Six…" he continued. He held the knife steady against Inferi's skin, a cold, absolute line of judgment, waiting. And in that pause, Luca realized a part of him wanted her to run, desperately. He wanted her to bolt, to retreat from this room of blood and fear, because maybe, just maybe, if she ran, he would see the futility of the obsession clawing at him from the inside. "Seven…" he murmured. "Eight…" "Nine…" Synopsis: She insulted the devil. He decided to own her.

His Secret Slave to Scandalous Queen

Excerpt... Henry’s hand shot out, closing around her arm, firmly enough that her breath caught. “Stay…” He stood beside her, close enough that she could feel him without touching him. “I…” Livia’s voice broke before it found strength. “I didn’t flee.” She still would not fully look at him. Her eyes remained on Bella. “This is not my fault,” she whispered. “No,” Henry said at once. “It isn’t.” He looked away, then back at her. “Do you love him, Livia?” “Please,” she cried. “Stop calling me that.” “Do you love him?” he asked. “Yes,” she said. “So soon after me?” he asked. “I thought we…” He stopped. “I assumed you…” “That I what?” Livia asked, her voice trembling. “That I loved you? Henry…” she began then she caught herself. “Your Highness. I did seek solace in your arms... Yes. I will not lie about that. I wanted you. I trusted you. In a sea of sharks and wolves, you were the safest thing I could find.” Her eyes filled again. “You made me feel as though I could breathe. Turns out, you are no better.” “Why?” Henry asked quietly. “Because I am the king?” “Because you lied to me. You let me trust a man who did not exist.” “I existed.” “Henry the merchant existed because you created him.” “For good reasons, I had to keep my identity hidden,” Henry said. “The king moving around London without security,” he continued, “what do you think would happen?” “You speak as though I was asking you to announce yourself in the middle of Cheapside with trumpets and a crown. It doesn’t matter anymore,” Livia said, looking away from him. “I am getting married.” “Yes,” Henry said, the word leaving him like a blade drawn from flesh. “To my best friend. Did you tell him?” Henry asked. Livia’s brows drew together. “Tell him what?” “That I fucked you. Did you tell him I was your first? Did you tell him you once trusted me? That you once promised yourself to me because you thought I was the safest thing in your miserable world?” “That is not fair.” “Then tell me is it fair that Richard gets to call you his intended while I stand here pretending I do not know the sound of your moan? Is it fair that he holds your hand while I cannot even say your name without ruining you?” “Please stop.” “Did you tell him,” Henry pressed, unable to stop himself now, “that you were mine before you were ever his?” “How could I?” she asked, the words breaking. “I did not even know who you were.” “Then let me ask you this,” he said, leaning down just a little, his lips a hair’s breath from hers. “Has he fucked you? Has he touched what is mine?” ..... Sold into slavery and trapped in the brutal underworld of London, Livia Valenti is placed on the auction block. She makes a desperate choice and places her fate in the hands of the mysterious man who once caught her stealing. She does not know he is the King of England. Then comes Richard, Duke of Kingsmere willing to offer Livia the one thing Henry cannot easily give her— a future outside the shadows.

Fated Moon

Synopsis – Fated Moon In an age where power dictated destiny and kings believed the world bent to their will, one woman stood as an exception. A queen of unmatched beauty and formidable intellect, her presence alone silenced courts and stirred nations. Desired by emperors, warlords, and rulers who were never denied, she defied them all—choosing not the most powerful, but the one her heart recognized: King Toran Volkov of Highcrest. That choice became a spark in a world built on pride and hierarchy. Her rejection of men who commanded empires ignited a quiet but dangerous storm—one fueled by wounded egos, envy, and a thirst for dominance. Years later, that storm broke. Betrayal rose from within, alliances formed in shadows, and a ruthless rebellion swept through Highcrest. The royal family was marked for extinction. The king and queen fell. But their legacy did not. In her final act of defiance against fate, the queen ensured her children would live. Her infant daughter, Roseline, only four months old, was sent away under the cover of chaos—left at the borders of Armathia, a kingdom once bound to them by trust. Her son, Louis, was taken far from the palace by loyal guards, armed not with comfort, but with truth: the names of traitors, the kingdoms that conspired, and the burden of reclaiming what was stolen. Fate, however, had not finished its design. In Armathia, the grieving queen—too late to save her fallen allies—stumbled upon a cruel twist of chance: in order to redeem herself of guilt and inability to save her friend, she took the child, not knowing the child is her friend's child. To her, she's just a helpless baby abandoned to die, her identity marked only by a name—Roseline on her neck. Moved by instinct and sorrow, she took the child into the palace, raising her as her own alongside her son, Prince Kingston. Years passed, and Roseline grew into a woman who mirrored the very queen the world once revered—graceful, enigmatic, and impossibly captivating. Veiled from the world, her beauty became legend rather than sight. But destiny stirred once more when Kingston, now a young man, found his heart drawn to the girl he had once called sister. Yet beyond palace walls, another story unfolded. Louis did not grow in peace—he was forged in loss, hardened by exile, and driven by a singular purpose: vengeance and restoration. Unlike his father, he would not fall to betrayal. Unlike his mother, he would not underestimate the cruelty of power. When he finally emerged, he did so not as a prince seeking a throne—but as a force that would seize it. And he did—ruthlessly. With calculated precision and overwhelming strength, Louis dismantled the very system that destroyed his family, reclaiming Highcrest in a storm of blood and reckoning. But victory brought no peace—only a deeper longing. His sister, the last piece of his family, was still lost to him. For years, he searched relentlessly across kingdoms and borders, chasing whispers, rumors, and fading traces—yet she remained beyond his reach. Until fate intervened once more. An invitation arrived. A royal union in Armathia—the marriage of Crown Prince Alexander. What should have been a distant political formality became something far more significant. There was something about it—something that stirred instinct, memory… certainty. A bride hidden behind elegance and mystery. A presence the world spoke of in hushed admiration. And Louis knew. The sister he had searched for all those years… was waiting at the end of that invitation. But the past was repeating itself. The same forces of power and entitlement that once destroyed his parents now circled once again—this time around Roseline. Powerful men, blinded by desire and control, sought to claim her, to bend her fate as they had tried before. But this time… history would not repeat itself. Standing between Roseline and the fate that destroyed their parents, Louis became her shield—unyielding, relentless, and feared.

The Cooper Constant ~ Young Sheldon

On January 1st, 1973, a girl is reborn into East Texas—carrying the full knowledge of a life that ended in 2025, when she was murdered in a classmate’s arson fire. She remembers everything… but the memories have no emotional weight. No grief. No nostalgia. No “I miss my mom.” Just facts, skills, and a terrifying calm. Her name is Noelle—raised by Jolene Buyers, a fiercely determined mother who refuses to let her brilliant daughter become a social casualty like the boys in town who get labeled “weird” and then trapped. Jolene builds Noelle’s life like a fortress: college classes, piano, dance, extracurriculars, and the kind of structured pressure that makes prodegies… and creates ticking clocks. Then 1985 hits. Jolene dies in a car crash— and George Cooper learns he has a daughter. Noelle moves into the Cooper household under an ironclad contract George already signed earlier that year—forcing the family to maintain the exact academic pipeline Jolene engineered. Mary is horrified: not because George cheated (he didn’t—this happened before their marriage), but because the town will still call Noelle what it always calls girls like her — bastard. And worse? Noelle is smarter than Sheldon, and she can pass for perfect in public. By the time the Pilot rolls around, Noelle has become the Cooper family’s “perfect problem”: • Sheldon finally has an intellectual equal who doesn’t cater to him. • Missy finally has a sister who sees her and chooses her. • Georgie gains an older sibling who respects hustle and teaches leverage. • George gains a second chance he doesn’t know how to earn. • Mary gains a living contradiction to her identity as “Sheldon’s protector.” • Meemaw gains a partner in crime—turning pattern recognition into profit. Together, Noelle + Meemaw gamble their way into legitimacy: two thriving gyms, a third location in progress, and a plan to rescue a drowning legacy family restaurant—all while Noelle builds her own future: cheer captain, nutrition certification, and a “sanitized-for-Bedford” debut novel that might survive the Baptist gatekeepers. In Medford, Texas, everyone believes the Cooper family is predictable. Noelle doesn’t. She’s the constant that changes the entire equation.

The Side Character Who Wins by Doing Nothing

Lu Sangjiu spent over a year imprinting the innocent image of herself—often coughing up blood, delicate, and frail—into the hearts of everyone in the Seven Emotions Sect. In reality, the frequent coughing of blood was real, but she wasn't actually that delicate and frail. In the beginning, she had only one purpose for coming to the Seven Emotions Sect: to strip away the female lead Ye Zhiyao's destiny and break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao! Later, looking at the simple and kind-hearted fools of her sect, she thought to herself, since it's convenient anyway, I might as well save who I can! As the saying goes, the only thing that can defeat a pure white lotus is a refreshing little green tea. So, in order to compete with the female lead Ye Zhiyao, who possesses immense luck and is loved by all men, it wouldn't be too much for her to occasionally speak some "green tea" words, right? And so... Facing a demon beast, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, bravely said: "Eldest Senior Brother, don't worry about me, hurry and save Senior Sister Ye, she's more important than I am!" The hot-tempered Eldest Senior Brother stood firmly in front of her, "Nonsense! My Little Junior Sister is the most important!" Facing a scheming bitch, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, choked out: "Second Senior Sister, don't misunderstand, she wasn't bullying me, I'm not wronged at all!" The crybaby Second Senior Sister, while wiping her tears, gave her a live performance of tearing the scheming bitch apart by hand. Facing an Evil Cultivator, Lu Sangjiu, while spitting blood, stubbornly said: "Third Senior Brother, you go first... I will definitely do my best to hold on until you bring people back to save me!" The timid Third Senior Brother mustered his courage, had a breakthrough on the spot, and crushed the Evil Cultivator! Later, Ye Zhiyao pointed her sword at Lu Sangjiu, claiming she was the Demon Cultivator Gu Huang, who brought disaster to the world a hundred years ago, and that she should be killed. Everyone stood firmly in front of Lu Sangjiu, "Impossible! Little Junior Sister is too frail to withstand a gust of wind; there's no way she's the Great Demon!"
