Ruthless Mafia Captive

princess_h
Elena Morelli was never meant to be part of the underworld. Living a quiet life as an aspiring artist, she had no idea that her bloodline held a secret—one that made her a target. One night was all it took to destroy the illusion of safety. Dragged to a nightclub by her best friend, Elena made a reckless decision—to let go, to indulge, to forget the dull routine of her life for just a few hours. That was when she met Alessio DeLuca. He was devastatingly handsome, dangerously intense, and completely unlike anyone she had ever encountered. With his tailored suit, cold silver eyes, and commanding presence, he exuded power. She didn’t know who he was. She didn’t know that stepping into his world would cost her everything. What was supposed to be a fleeting one-night stand turned into something far more sinister when she woke up to a nightmare—Alessio wasn’t just a man. He was the ruthless leader of the DeLuca crime family, and he wasn’t done with her yet. Captured: The Cold Embrace of a Monster Alessio DeLuca had built his empire on control. He didn’t make mistakes. He didn’t allow weaknesses. But the moment he saw Elena, something in him cracked. He thought she was just another distraction. Until he found out who she really was. Elena Morelli wasn’t just some girl. She was connected to the mafia in a way she never knew—the hidden daughter of a disgraced Morelli boss. A bloodline that should have been erased. To Alessio, she was a problem. A loose end. Someone who should have never existed. And yet, he couldn’t kill her. Instead, he took her. Caged her in his world. She fought him at every turn, refusing to bow to his will. But Alessio was a man who got what he wanted—through pain, through fear, through desire. Elena would learn obedience. Or so he thought. The War Within: Hate, Lust, and Something More Elena refused to break. She wasn’t a mafia princess. She wasn’t some pawn to be used. And she would never belong to a monster like Alessio. But the more she fought, the more obsessed he became. He punished her defiance. Tested her limits. Took pleasure in bending her to his will. But what Alessio never expected was that she would start to unravel him, too. The cruel control he prided himself on began to slip. Her fire, her innocence—it was supposed to be nothing. And yet, it became everything. But Alessio wasn’t a man who could love. Love was weakness. And Elena? She was a distraction he should have destroyed. Unraveling the Truth: A Legacy of Blood Just when Elena thought she understood her captor, the truth about her past began to surface. She wasn’t just any Morelli. She was the heir to something far more dangerous than either of them realized—a bloodline tied to secrets that could shift the balance of power in the underworld. Assassins came for her. Enemies rose from the shadows. And Alessio realized that letting her go was never an option. Not because of duty. Not because of power. But because she had become his. And now, he would kill for her. The Final Choice: Love or Ruin With war looming between the mafia families, Elena had a choice—stay with the man who had stolen her life, or risk everything to escape. But running meant death. Staying meant surrender. And falling for Alessio DeLuca? That meant ruin. Yet, as the walls closed in and the truth of her past threatened to consume her, Elena realized one thing: She wasn’t just his captive anymore. She was his queen. And Alessio? He would burn the world to keep her.

Entertainment: Starting as a Succubus, Taking Hollywood by Storm

Martin was a succubus who perished at the hands of the Sun God, struck down by a single divine arrow during the epic war between gods and demons. Meanwhile, Martin, a Ph.D. in literature and a seasoned movie enthusiast, lost his life in a car accident in August 2023. By some cosmic twist of fate, the souls of the two Martins converged within the chaotic currents of time and space, merging and eventually settling in the body of an eleven-year-old boy named Martin Myers, living in Los Angeles in 1996. A world without spiritual energy? Fortunately, as a succubus, I don’t need spiritual energy to cultivate; all I need is the essence of desire. Emotions—joy, anger, sorrow, and excitement—are all desires. As long as these emotions are directed at me, they can become fuel for my growth. Alright, let’s see what reliable ways exist in this world to stir people’s emotions en masse. Hmm, becoming a writer—sounds promising; and music, that could work too; but wow, Hollywood movies! They have a global reach; this is perfect! What’s that term again? Right—"Idea Recycler.” I’ll start with writing, but the ultimate goal is to become an international movie star. Acting skills, you say? Don’t worry—I’m a succubus, after all! Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to this novel.

A Villain’s Guide to Saving the World

-Participating in WSA 2025- In a world where fate is dictated by prophecy, heroes are chosen by the gods, and Dark Lords are doomed to fall… Lucian Draeven refuses to play along. Once feared as the greatest Dark Lord in history, Lucian had the world under his iron rule—until the so-called Chosen Hero struck him down in a blinding flash of divine justice. The kingdoms cheered. The world rejoiced. Too bad Lucian isn’t actually dead. Having faked his demise and gone into hiding, Lucian watches from the shadows as a new Dark Lord rises, more reckless and incompetent than ever. Worse, the gods have selected another overly enthusiastic, sword-swinging Chosen Hero to bring “peace” once again. The problem? Neither of them have a clue how to actually rule the world. As kingdoms crumble, wars break out, and the balance of power teeters on the edge of collapse, Lucian comes to a horrifying realization: If the world is going to survive, then it’s up to him—the so-called villain—to secretly fix everything from the shadows. But there's just one little catch… Lucian’s legendary Dominions are still sealed, and the only way to regain his strength is by playing the role of a villain once more—spreading fear, manipulating his enemies, and pulling the strings behind the scenes. Now, as the oblivious Hero and foolish new Dark Lord battle it out, neither realizes that the true mastermind is watching their every move. Because if the world wants a villain… Then Lucian will be the greatest villain it has ever seen.
