My Mafia Boss Went Broke, So I Bought His Empire
Agatha Christie · Ongoing · 7.0k Words
Introduction
I didn't hesitate. I packed my bags to run.
Then glowing lines of text flashed right in front of my eyes:
【He doesn't die. In six months, the Ghost takes back the city and slaughters everyone who crossed him. The female lead saves him tonight, and the girl who ran away ends up dead in a ditch.】
I dropped my bag, sprinted across the wet gravel, and wrapped my arms around his knees, sobbing.
"Don't shoot! You promised to buy me a massive diamond ring, and I still haven't gotten it!"
The text feed went crazy.
【WTF?! The man is seconds from pulling the trigger, and she's whining about jewelry?!】
【Watch her. She's probably going to shove him off the ledge herself to cash in on the insurance!】
Instead of letting go, I dug my fingers firmly into his wet slacks.
Chapter 1
After five years of playing the pampered pet to New York's most ruthless mafia boss, Lucian's empire crumbled. He went to a roof and put a gun to his head.
I didn't hesitate. I packed my bags to run.
Then glowing lines of text flashed right in front of my eyes:
【He doesn't die. In six months, the Ghost takes back the city and slaughters everyone who crossed him. The female lead saves him tonight, and the girl who ran away ends up dead in a ditch.】
I dropped my bag, sprinted across the wet gravel, and wrapped my arms around his knees, sobbing.
"Don't shoot! You promised to buy me a massive diamond ring, and I still haven't gotten it!"
The text feed went crazy.
【WTF?! The man is seconds from pulling the trigger, and she's whining about jewelry?!】
【Watch her. She's probably going to shove him off the ledge herself to cash in on the insurance!】
Instead of letting go, I dug my fingers firmly into his wet slacks.
Annabelle
Lucian lowered the barrel, staring down at me like I had lost my goddamn mind.
"Why the hell are you still here, Anna?"
I yanked at his pant leg, glaring up at him. "You swore you'd protect me for life. You didn't let me out of your sight when the bullets were flying. You don't get to back out now just because you went broke."
The glowing letters scrolled mid-air, blurring my vision.
【She's making this all about herself. No wonder he turns so ruthless toward her later.】
【He's down to his very last bullet, and she's still treating him like a walking ATM.】
【If the side chick isn't toxic, how else does the real female lead look like an angel?】
【Wait for it—when he pulls the trigger, it misfires. Someone calls 911, and Victoria shows up with her syndicate money to save him. Patiently waiting for the real queen to enter!】
I ignored the screen and buried my face against his damp shirt, hugging him tighter.
He used to run this city's underworld. He still had the thick scar on his side from taking a bullet for me three years ago. But now, holding him, I could feel the sharp edges of his ribs through his wet shirt.
He stared at the traffic lights below and rubbed his temple. His voice was dead.
"I'm a dead man walking, Anna. The network is gone. I'm drowning in blood debt. I can't keep you safe anymore."
He clenched his jaw, refusing to look at me.
"There's a card in the nightstand. Five million. It's the last clean cash I have. The PIN is your birthday. Take it, buy a ticket out of the country, and don't look back."
Even in the dark, the words hit me hard. This was a man who used to order executions without blinking. Now, with one foot over the edge, he was using his last breath to give me a way out.
I stood up and grabbed his wet collar, pulling him down to look at me.
"No. If you can't protect me, then I'll protect you."
Lucian froze. His dark eyes widened in shock, disbelief, and a flash of panic.
Before he could point out how ridiculous that sounded coming from me, I quickly changed the subject. "Anyway, today is our five-year anniversary. And I actually got you a gift."
The wind whipped his thin shirt against his chest, showing off fresh, brutal bruises.
He just stared at me. When he finally spoke, his voice was rough. "You... got me a gift?"
Over the last five years, Lucian had bought me diamond-encrusted pistols, antique emeralds, and rare vintage cars just because I pointed at them.
I had never given him a single present.
Twenty minutes later, we were back in our cramped apartment. Lucian stood in the middle of the living room, looking down at the box on the table.
"So," he asked, sounding unsure. "Where's my gift?"
I pulled a tiny black silk slip dress out of the box and held it up against his broad chest.
"Looks a little tight in the shoulders," I deadpanned.
I let out a dramatic sigh. "The store doesn't take returns on lingerie. Guess I'm stuck wearing it myself."
Lucian stared at me. His jaw twitched, then he let out a short, disbelieving laugh and shook his head.
Without another word, he turned on his heel and headed right back out the front door.
I bolted into the hallway, stomping my bare foot. "Lucian! Don't be such a jerk!"
His deep voice drifted back up the cold stairwell.
"I left my phone on the roof, Anna. I'm going to get it."

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
And he was never far behind.
Filled, Owned, and Fucked by My Best Friend’s Father
He was supposed to be off-limits. Untouchable. The kind of man you only fantasize about when you’re alone in the dark with your hand between your thighs.
But the night I caught him eating another woman alive by the pool, I couldn’t look away.
And he knew it.
The moment his dark eyes locked on mine through the glass, I became prey. His filthy smirk promised one thing—he saw me touching myself to him, and he wasn’t about to let me forget it.
Now, every time I’m in his house, I can’t breathe without thinking of his mouth between my legs.
I left my cheating boyfriend behind, only to fall into something even more dangerous:
a man who could ruin me, break me, and make me beg for his cock while his own daughter sleeps in the next room.
He’s too old. Too powerful. Too forbidden.
But Gianni doesn’t ask—he takes.
And I don’t want him to stop.

My gaze snapped to his. He was smiling, causing my heart to skip a painful beat. Before I could respond, the music began, and my body instinctively reacted to the sweet melody.

The ballroom fell silent.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

Moonfire: Betrayed By The Alpha
Alpha Caden Blackwell believed those words would break me. That after three years of marriage marked by silence, humiliation, and quiet rejection, I would fear a life without him.
I did once.
As the Luna of the Shadowcrest Pack, I gave everything to a man my wolf recognized as her mate, enduring whispers, cold stares, and a pack that never truly accepted me. I stayed because I believed love required endurance. Because I believed patience would one day be rewarded.
That belief shattered the night Caden welcomed his former lover back into our home, along with a child he claimed as his heir. It ended the moment his choices nearly cost me my life and the life of one of my unborn pups. Leaving was no longer a matter of pride. It was survival.
Caden does not know the woman who walked away. He still sees the Luna who waited, who forgave, who loved without limits. He does not see Nova Ashton, a woman capable of rebuilding her identity and claiming a future on her own terms.
I will never crawl back.
