Fates Worse Than Death

Riya believed her life was already complicated enough — juggling work, family pressure, and a past that refuses to fade. What she didn’t expect was a car crash… with a stranger who pushed all her buttons. She lashed out without filter, calling him every rude name in the book — not knowing he was Ryansh Malhotra, the aloof, arrogant CEO of the very company she worked for. Ryansh — cold, calculating, and used to control — is shocked and strangely intrigued by this firecracker of a girl who dared to speak to him like no one else ever had. Instead of punishing her, he does something worse — he keeps her close. What begins as a series of sharp glances and heated arguments soon spirals into a tangled connection neither can deny. But secrets, office politics, and their haunting pasts threaten to ruin everything. Can love blossom between two souls bound by fate but divided by truth? Entangled Fates is a stormy tale of first impressions, hidden identities, and the dangerous line between hate and love.

She’s the only thing he can’t afford to lose… and the only one he was never meant to have. Lorenzo Hudson, a cold, calculating billionaire and ex-syndicate kingpin, runs London’s most elite private security firm with precision, ruthlessness, and a heart locked behind steel walls. Haunted by a past laced in blood and betrayal, he lives by control—until Reina Hayes storms into his life. Reina, a brilliant and unbreakable London attorney, is fearless in the courtroom and relentless in the pursuit of justice. When a case involving a powerful crime syndicate lands on her desk—one so dangerous other lawyers vanished trying to solve it—she refuses to back down. But a single name changes everything: Lorenzo Hudson. The man with secrets darker than midnight… and eyes that see too much. As their paths collide through cryptic threats, a missing sister, and buried trauma, what begins as distrust erupts into a dangerous alliance. They’re forced to navigate a world of lies, codes, and shadows—together. But trust isn’t easily given, especially when every touch is a risk, and every secret could explode their fragile truce. Beneath gunmetal tension, smoldering glances, and stolen moments, something undeniable blooms. Love, maybe. Or obsession. But when the syndicate resurfaces with vengeance, Reina and Lorenzo must decide: will their twisted pasts destroy them, or will their forbidden connection become the one weapon that can set them free?

She wasn’t meant to stand in the spotlight. Not with her raw voice, untamed spirit, and a heart that refused to bend to the rules of fame. But when the world tried to silence her, she sang louder. In a glittering industry built on perfection, she chose truth — even when it came at the cost of love, reputation, and her place on the stage. He saw her fire before she did. He stood by her when no one else dared. But when pressure cracked their fragile connection, he let go… and she was forced to rise alone. Through whispered betrayals, haunting melodies, and a silence heavier than any applause, she discovers that freedom is not the absence of pain — but the decision to sing through it anyway. And when he returns — too late, too tender, and yet still hers — they share one final kiss that doesn’t save them… but leaves a note behind that no one else will ever hear. More Than Free is a heartbreaking and luminous story of self-discovery, first love, and the music that remains long after the song ends.

When they wake up a decade in the past-alive, young, and painfully aware of everything that's to come-each believes it's a cruel trick of the universe. Until a single message in an old group chat changes everything: "Just experienced the same thing." Drawn together by more than coincidence, the three reunite at a dusty bookstore... only to be pulled into a set of eerie, ancient novels that eerily mirror their lives-down to the names, the powers, and the tragic endings.

Title: His Favorite Poison: Until Death Makes Us Worse Genre: Dark Romance | Psychological Thriller | Possessive Male Lead | Tragedy | Obsession --- Synopsis: It started with a scream. Mira Thorne kicked the back of the driver’s seat, rage and fear blending in her bloodshot eyes. “Stop the car!” she shouted, her voice cracking. But the men in front only glanced at her through the rearview mirror—smirking, silent, and cruel. She kicked again. Harder. The car swerved. CRASH! Glass shattered. Tires screamed. The car flipped, spun, then hit a ditch with a thud. Mira’s body slammed into the door. Pain tore through her, but she didn’t wait. She crawled out. Ran. A flash of headlights nearly blinded her—another car almost crushed her bones, but she dove aside at the last second. Blood in her mouth. Her limbs shaking. Then she saw the forest. Thick. Dark. Unforgiving. She ran straight down the hill—stumbled—rolled—tumbled into the trees. The air tore her lungs, but she didn’t stop. Behind her, car doors slammed. Footsteps followed. “Stop running, Mira!” She didn’t. Gunshots rang out. Bang! A searing pain exploded in her arm. She screamed, fell again, rolled over dry leaves and stone. Still, she rose. And then… She saw it. A mansion. Dark stone. Down the hill. Looming like a sleeping beast. She ran. Her legs barely holding. Her blood soaking her sleeve. And just as she stumbled past a cluster of trees—she saw him. Standing at the edge of the mansion’s balcony. A glass of wine in hand. Eyes sharp and expression unreadable. Damien Voss. She screamed, desperate, broken. “Help me!” He only raised an eyebrow. And behind him—two tigers stepped into view, their fur glinting in the moonlight. Mira froze. The men still chased her. Gunshots behind. Her vision swam. Her legs gave out. But she stood. She ran toward the tigers. They lunged. She dodged—barely. Her mind screamed to survive. Her body obeyed. She reached the edge. Damien tilted his head. She collapsed in front of him, kneeling, gasping, kowtowing at his feet. > “Please… save me.” He crouched down, cold eyes meeting hers. His fingers curled under her chin. > “If I save you… what do I gain?” Behind them, one of the pursuers screamed— A tiger ripped into him. The others tried to escape. Too late. Damien raised his hand. The tigers stopped. Silent. Obedient. One man’s body was already torn open on the grass. Mira trembled. > “I’ll give you anything,” she whispered. “Money?” “Everything. My soul. My life. Just let me live.” Damien’s lips curved. He chuckled. Low. Dark. He waved his hand. Bullets rained. His guards appeared from the shadows and opened fire—merciless and precise. Mira flinched as blood splattered beside her. She didn’t dare move. --- If I can’t be happy, nobody can,” Mira says. “If I want you to be happy, you will be,” Damien replies. “I’ll kill anyone who stands in my way—including you.” “Then I’ll buy coffins for both of us—or we can share one.” “I’ll be your poison.” “Then I’ll take it.” “I will never be with you.” “Then you’ll be the reason the world ends.” “I don’t care if the world drowns in blood.” “Then I’ll make it happen—and you’ll be the star of the show, my little pet.” ____ She called herself a thorn. A curse. A walking poison. He called her entertainment, obsession—his favorite game. Even when he vomited blood, he reached for her. I told you I will be your death she said > “I’m attracted to poisonous flowers,” he replied “Till death tears us apart,” she whispered as she watch him frown in pain from the poison. “Till death tears us never,” he swore, pressing his lips to hers. warning warning the FL and the ml are red flags

He leaned against an old oak tree, arms crossed, dressed in all black as usual. The golden glow of sunset filtered through the branches, lighting half his face while the other half melted into shadow. “You came,” he said without looking at her. “Don’t act surprised,” Evelyn replied. “You told me to.” “I also thought you’d be smart enough to stay away.” She walked closer, squinting at him. “You told me the truth when no one else would. That earns you one hour of trust. Use it wisely.” Lucien pushed off the tree and started walking deeper into the woods. “Follow me.” Evelyn hesitated before falling into step beside him. “So... you’re a vampire. Just going to accept that now.” “That’s probably for the best.” “And you kill other vampires.” “Only the ones who break the rules,” he said. “Most of my kind... don’t follow laws anymore.” “And what rules are those?” Lucien’s jaw tightened. “Don’t hunt humans. Don’t create chaos. Don’t let anyone discover us.” Evelyn raised an eyebrow. “You're doing a pretty terrible job at that last one.” He looked at her sideways. “You were an exception.”
