Quagmire Arm

Fragile in His Arms

Elena Delacroix never thought her quiet life as a florist would lead her back into the underworld her family abandoned years ago. Once part of a feared mafia empire, the Delacroixs left it all behind after the loss of their two eldest sons and the trauma experienced by their only daughter, Elena. Now, they only deal in flowers, beautiful, intoxicating, and, if necessary, deadly. But fate has a cruel sense of humor. One night, while making a routine delivery, Elena stumbled upon a crime scene, one she was never meant to witness. As exposed as she could ever be without having a place to hide, she held her breath as a man was executed before her eyes. Just as she prepared to flee, Lorenzo DeLuca, the ruthless mafia boss presiding over the chaos, catches a familiar scent in the air and turned to face her. It wasn’t just any scent, it was one only the Delacroix family could create. And in that moment, he recognizes her as Elena, his childhood sweetheart. The girl who had once meant everything to him and still do. Although, Elena escaped that night, but she didn’t get far as her world was turned upside down when she learnt that her family owes a massive debt to the DeLuca crime syndicate. And Lorenzo had come to collect it. But he doesn’t want just any repayment. He wants her as the repayment. Thrust into a world of power, secrets, and an undeniable attraction, Elena finds herself trapped between the past she can’t remember and a future she doesn’t want. But as long-buried memories resurface and dangerous enemies circle, one question remains; Will Lorenzo be her protector... or the greatest threat of all?

Pampered by my Billionaire CEO Husband

Aurelia Holt had quietly sacrificed her career to be a stay-at-home wife for her husband, Blake Carson, so that he could work full time while also pursuing his dream of becoming a successful producer in the future. But on the night of their second wedding anniversary, she watched her husband come home with another woman in his arms. It was Stella, his first love whom he was never really over. “She is already upset, you don’t have to make her feel worse. Is it wrong to show care and concern for my friend?” He argued as he clenched his jaws and kept his gaze steady on my face. “She isn’t just your friend, she was your ex, your first love. And isn’t it so convenient that everytime she needs you or something happens whenever I just want to spend some time with you?” He had always chosen Stella over her, putting her needs and feelings above hers. And that night, she finally had enough. “All you ever care about is Stella!” I continued to yell so loudly that I could practically hear my voice ringing in my ears. “You always do this! You always choose her over me, you always put her feelings above mine.” I watched as a smirk tugged at Stella’s lips as she watched me argue with my husband over her. Blake walked to her side, wrapping his arm around her as she curled her fingers around his arm with a pitiful look. “Stop yelling, you are scaring Stella. Why can’t you be more understanding and stop being so self-centered? Not everything is about you!” The last thing she remembered was her running out into the pouring rain and the next thing she knew, she was asking a stranger to marry her. That stranger was Xavier Wilder, the billionaire CEO of one of the most successful companies in the country. But there was more to him that Aurelia didn’t know just yet, something he was hiding from her. Together, she vowed to make her ex-husband’s life a living hell. There were only two things he cared about the most―his reputation and his ego. And she planned to destroy it all, bit by bit.
