Ciro Ricci Capelli

Griselda.

I quiver as he snakes his arm around my waist with his lips behind my ear whispering, "So what would you say about my proposal, Zelda?" Peering into his eyes with a smile on my lips, I entangle him in a hug and plunge the knife at his back taking him by surprise. Slowly, he goes limp in my arms falling on his knees before me while staring at me and not uttering a word. Leaning forward, I give him a peck as a tear escapes from my eyes. "I'm sorry, either way it's meant to come to this." I say giving a him final look before twisting the knife further at his back, leaving him to bleed to death. ***** Griselda Capell, a seemingly average young lady with hidden abilities has only one ambition in life, 'to become successful and find a fairytale type of love'. Her dreams come crashing down when she's sold off to the Royal pure blooded Garcia's family as a mistress to the heir, Aidan. Slowly, she entertains the idea that life with Aidan doesn't seem all bad as they rather fall in love. Soon, her hidden abilities are slowly discovered and harnessed, with emissaries of the Venine temple whisking her away and intimating of her role and destiny in life. Plots, twists and turns ensue as her destiny which she's expected to fulfill is in stark contrast with Aidan's, which harshly drifts them apart and turns her into a version of herself she had never dreamt of, a monster as some may call her. With a mass of powers at the tip of her fingers, tons of army at her command, Griselda turns out to be Aidan's most dreaded enemy, fear and weakness. A entrancing tale of love and hate, lovers to enemies, both expected to do away with each other, which will survive?

In the glittering world of fashion, ambition and love clash in a fiery tale of chaos and fate. Wendy Naredo, a simple yet driven probinsyana, lands a job as an executive assistant at Rivera Clothing & Co., one of the most powerful fashion empires in the Philippines. Her quiet strength and work ethic catches the eyes of the dashing bachelor, Liam Rivera — the heir to the company — whose confidence and charm make him a favorite in both boardrooms and hearts. But standing between them is Ricci Dawnielle Yulo — a stunning beauty queen and Miss Universe alumna, who is not just Liam's fiancée but also a woman hungry for power. As the love triangle unfolds, hearts are broken and vows are made. Wendy eventually finds peace in the arms of her childhood best friend, Jace Raymund Reyes — a brilliant, innovative moreno guy who represents the quiet kind of love that never fades. Meanwhile, Liam marries Ricci, thinking it’s the right thing for the empire his father built. When the old Arnulfo Rivera dies, the corporate kingdom begins to crumble. Ricci, alongside the mysterious and flamboyant Dubai-based designer Pradesh Luxur or Armando Abueva Jr., schemes to seize full control of the Rivera empire.

But the biggest heartbreak comes with the murder of Jace — a casualty of Ricci’s thirst for dominance. As betrayal piles upon betrayal, the truth begins to unravel. Liam discovers the web of lies spun by his wife and her ally. Ricci is convicted, Pradesh flees into a world of illusions and decadence, only to meet a brutal end at the hands of one he once toyed with. Wendy, broken by loss and haunted by everything she's survived, nearly gives up on love — even contemplating a life of solitude and faith. But Liam, transformed by pain and revelation, fights for her — not as a CEO, not as a lover scorned, but as a man willing to sacrifice everything for the woman he has always loved. In a heartfelt finale at the historic Manila Cathedral, Wendy and Liam finally tie the knot — not just as a union of hearts, but as survivors of a battlefield where love, power and destiny collided. Hearts in the Crossfire is a sweeping romantic novel that explores the depths of loyalty, the destructiveness of ambition and the redemptive power of true love.

Worlds Unbound

Humanity has scattered across the stars, held together only by the unstable surges of Ricci Flow drives and the ancient, fragile Silent Network. Interstellar peace is tenuous at best. The Solarian Confederacy clings to order with rigid traditions and the ominous Mindfire Protocols that keep AI in check, while the ambitious Cygnus Combine pushes the limits of technology and commerce, stoking fear and suspicion. Beneath their cold war, something deeper lurks, waiting. That fragile balance shatters when Relay Node 717—an essential communications hub in the contested Fringe Sector 8—suddenly goes dark. Navigation becomes dangerous, messages stop flowing, and the sector descends into chaos. Solarian Command immediately blames Cygnus, and warships begin to mobilize. The galaxy teeters on the brink. Agent Kaelen Riley of the Solarian Bureau of Cognitive Security is sent to confirm the official story. But as she digs deeper, doubt creeps in. The pieces fit too well. The narrative is too clean. Meanwhile, on the lawless Waypoint Station Epsilon, Jax, a Fringe pilot drowning in debt, finds himself trapped—his ship grounded, his options running out. Desperate for a way out, he takes a job that lands him in the crosshairs of something much bigger. At the same time, xeno-archaeologist Dr. Lena Petrova, stationed near the wreckage, picks up strange energy fluctuations—whispers of something alien beneath the chaos. Fate throws them together, each with their own reasons for digging deeper. Riley wants the truth beyond her orders. Jax needs to escape. Petrova is chasing a mystery that defies known science. Aboard Jax’s battered freighter, the Razor’s Edge, they plunge into the heart of Sector 8, dodging debris, hostile patrols, and their own distrust of each other.

I Dare You to Kill Me

Isabella Marciano was pushed to leave her family business after her whole family's tragic death and the betrayal of her Uncle Santino Ricci. With the help of her father's best friend, she'll try and take everything that has been taken from her. Along her conquest, she'll meet Konstantine Zafeiriou, a Greek Billionaire who's father ventured to illegal businesses. On the other hand, Konstantine, a playboy billionaire who defied his father's wishes since he was younger, had no intention of venturing deeper into the underworld until he met Isabella. Will Konstantine be able to help Isabella, or will he just turn into someone who'll mess with her mind. ~~ “Santi Ricci should lead us” Deville spoke of my uncle who sat beside me on the right “he has Marciano blood in him, born to be a Don.” “No. Valen should be the Don” St. Luis said. “He’s the third in command after Sean. It's only logical that he leads.” They went on and on and on until I've had enough of them talking as if I wasn't in the room. I slammed my hand on the oak table. “Good God!” I murmured rubbing my temples melodramatically “you whine like four-year-olds. Who actually gave all of you the right to decide something meant for a Marciano to decide.” They all glared at me but I wasn't done “whoever wants to take what's rightfully mine is welcome to challenge me in a hand to hand combat. I'm Daniel Marciano's daughter and his mafia is only mine to claim.” ~~ [under edits] [Mature content]
