Upwork Bidder Job

The Deprived

In the slums of a city that would rather see them dead, Clementine and Kristal Alderrayne learned early that survival was never guaranteed. At 10 years old, they hid in a closet and listened as their parents were slaughtered and were orphans with nothing to their name. At 12, they became thieves, vanishing into the underworld, even stealing pieces of bread to survive. At 15, they discovered what made them different—strength, speed, the kind of power no ordinary human should have. Half-vampires, their blood finally doing what they are supposed to do. And a secret that could get them killed if exposed. They stopped running. They stopped hiding. They became mercenaries, selling their skills to the highest bidder. At 19, they had earned their place in the world—separate apartments, separate lives, but always bound by the same unspoken purpose. But survival is not enough. The past still haunts them. The ones who destroyed their family still live. The city still belongs to the corrupt and the powerful. And the twins? They are done living in the margins. When whispers of a secret syndicate known as The Deprived reach their ears—a hidden force of outcasts, rebels, and assassins who answer to no king or god but for themselves—the twins find themselves at a crossroads. Do they continue carving their own path alone? Or do they step into something greater—not as followers, but as the ones who will one day rule it? One thing is certain—power is never given. It is taken.

The Mafia Boss's Slave Wife

Important Note: This book is a slowburn romance with themes of trafficking, bloodshed, murder, and explicit content. Parental guidance is strongly advised. *** All her life, Celeste Caddell has been nothing more than a pawn in her own family's cruel games. Just when she thought she’d seen it all, she’s sold to a notorious trafficking syndicate, where she’s auctioned off to the highest bidder. To her surprise, that bidder is Nicolai Cassano, a powerful and ruthless mafia lord with his own agenda. Nicolai doesn’t offer Celeste pity or kindness—he offers her a deal: in exchange for her submissiveness, he will grant her the two things she craves most: revenge on those who wronged her, and the freedom she’s never known. What begins as a temporary alliance fueled by shared desire for vengeance begins to ignite into something more. But as their connection deepens, both Celeste and Nicolai must face the cost of their choices—an alliance that was supposed to be fleeting may change everything they thought they wanted. *** Excerpt: “You have two choices, kitty,” Nicolai’s voice was sharp, filled with power. “Take what I’m giving when I’m giving it, or go back to the syndicate.” Celeste’s blood turned to ice at the mention of the syndicate. Two nights in that hellhole had been enough to show her that there was no going back. Could she really let him return her there? Without hesitation, she shook her head. “One year, right? I’ll do it.” Nicolai scoffed. “Just as I thought, kitty. Just as I thought.” Celeste lowered her gaze, fighting back the tears. Deep down, she knew she was making a deal with the devil. But in this twisted game, she had no other choice. Either this, or nothing.
