THE DEVIL'S POSSESSION

He was her husband's worst nightmare. Now he’s her only escape. When Selene's picture-perfect marriage shatters and her husband tries to sell her to the mafia to settle his debts, it's Ronan Blackwood—cold, dangerous, and filthy rich—who steps in. Not to save her. To claim her. “You were never his, Selene. You’ve always been mine.” Now locked in his penthouse and tangled in his world of power, blood, and obsession, Selene must decide: fight him—or fall for the devil who just might own her heart.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Five: Question
Selene's POVI rolled over in bed for what felt like the hundredth time tonight. The sheets were all twisted around my legs, and my pillow was getting warm from all the tossing and turning.Sleep just wasn't happening. No matter what I tried - counting sheep, focusing on my breathing, even trying to clear my mind completely - nothing worked. My brain wouldn't shut off.I let out a frustrated sigh and squinted at the clock on my nightstand. Past 1 AM already. The red numbers seemed to mock me, reminding me how late it was getting.And Ronan still wasn't back.I knew I shouldn't be worried. This wasn't unusual for him - staying out late, coming back at all hours. It was just how things were in his world. But I couldn't help the knot of anxiety that had settled in my stomach hours ago and refused to go away.What if something had happened to him? What if he was in trouble and needed help? What if...Stop it, Selene. I shook my head, trying to push away the worried thoughts. He could take

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Four: Blood and Bullets
"Boss, we should leave here! You're bleeding way too much!" Lena snapped, her voice cutting through the chaos around us. There was panic in her tone, something I rarely heard from her."Shoot," I said calmly without even bothering to look at her. My focus was still on the remaining targets, my finger steady on the trigger despite the burning pain shooting through my arm.Even as my bullet went straight into the buyer's chest, I still wasn't satisfied. The shooting was thrilling, so was the sharp, intense pain radiating from the wound in my hand. There was something about the combination of adrenaline and pain that made me feel more alive than I had in months.It had been a long time since I got shot, so taking this bullet now didn't really feel like anything to me. I'd been through worse, much worse. This was just another day at the office, another reminder of the life I'd chosen to live.The sound of gunfire echoed around us as we continued our assault. Bodies dropped one by one, and

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Three: Exchange Night
Midnight : Ronan's POVMy car pulled into the exchange location. The engine ticked as it cooled down, the only sound cutting through the thick silence of the night. This part of the city was dead after midnight - just how I liked it for business like this.I sat in the car for a while, letting my eyes scan the area. Old habits. You don't survive in this line of work by rushing into things, even when you know what's waiting for you inside."Are we going in together?" Lena asked from the passenger seat. Her voice was steady, but I caught the slight tension underneath. She'd learned to read situations almost as well as I did over the years."No. I'll go in with you, Luca will stay here until he receives a signal for him to come." I checked my watch. Right on time. Punctuality was important in this business - showed respect, even when you were planning to kill each other."Alright boss," Luca replied from the back seat. He was already checking his weapon, muscle memory taking over. Good.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Two: Call
Selene's povI let out a heavy sigh, my shoulders slumping as the weight of confusion pressed down on me like a thick blanket. God, what was all this? The question echoed in my mind, bouncing around like a trapped bird desperate for escape. Why was I losing myself so easily? It felt like I was standing on shifting sand, each step making me sink deeper into something I couldn't understand or control.The silence stretched around me like a living thing as I mechanically ate my meal. Each bite felt tasteless, my mind too preoccupied with the swirling thoughts that refused to settle. The fork scraped against the plate with a soft metallic sound that seemed unnaturally loud in the quiet room. After forcing down the last few bites, I pushed the plate away and reached for the package that had been waiting patiently beside me, its brown paper wrapping slightly crumpled from my earlier handling.The weight of it felt substantial in my hands as I made my way back to

Chapter: Chapter Sixty One: Package
Ronan's POVThe engine of my car purred to a stop as we pulled into the warehouse. Dust kicked up around the tires, settling on the concrete like a fine layer of grime that matched my mood. I stepped out, my Italian leather shoes clicking against the rough ground, and straightened my jacket. Lena fell into step beside me, her heels struggling to keep pace with my long strides. I could feel her eyes on me, that worried crease between her brows deepening with each step we took toward the entrance."Boss, are you really sure about this party?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I didn't answer. Couldn't answer. My mind was somewhere else entirely—back at the mansion, wondering what Selene was doing right now. Was she eating? Sleeping? Or was she plotting her next escape attempt like the stubborn little wildcat she was?The warehouse doors groaned open, revealing the chaos inside. My men were everywhere—cleaning weapons, counting money, preparing for tonight's exchange. The ai

Chapter: Chapter Sixty: Only A Mask
Ronan's POVThe engine cut off with a low rumble that seemed to echo in the silence around us. I pushed the car door open, the metal groaning slightly on its hinges, and stepped out onto the cracked asphalt. The air was thick with tension, the kind that made your skin crawl and your instincts scream. My leather shoes hit the ground with a soft thud, and I could feel the weight of eyes watching my every move.I leaned back against the car, the cool metal pressing against my spine through my jacket. The cigar between my fingers felt familiar, comforting even. I brought it to my lips and took a slow drag, letting the smoke fill my lungs before exhaling it in a steady stream. The tobacco taste was rich, expensive - the kind of luxury that reminded everyone exactly who they were dealing with.Salvatore stood there across from me, that same irritating smile plastered on his face. It was the kind of smile that never reached the eyes, the kind that made you wonde

MARRIED TO THE CEO WHO RUINED ME: HIS BRIDE, HIS REVENGE

MARRIED TO THE CEO WHO RUINED ME: HIS BRIDE, HIS REVENGE

He shattered her heart to avenge a past that wasn’t hers. Now he desires her in his bed—as his wife. Marceline Valino once believed in love. She gave her heart—and her innocence—to Cross Dejava, the boy who whispered promises in the dark, igniting dreams of a forever that felt so real. But by morning, her world was left in ruins. Private photos were leaked, her name dragged through the mud, and at the eye of the storm? Cross, smirking, cold, and ruthless. “You mean nothing to me,” he said, delivering a blow that would leave scars. “You’re just the bastard daughter of my father’s mistress.” His vengeance had never aimed at her heart; it was meant to punish the daughter for her mother’s sins—an ex-lover who had torn his family apart. Pregnant and abandoned, Marceline begged for mercy, but all she received was the echo of his silence. When she lost the child, she lost every last piece of the girl she used to be. Now, five years later, she’s preparing to return—broke, desperate, and willing to do anything to save her ailing mother. Anything… except this. Because the man extending a lifeline isn’t a savior. It’s Cross. And he has no desire for her heartfelt apologies; he craves her complete submission. A contract marriage awaits her. No love. No escape. No mercy. But Marceline isn’t the naive girl he once broke. She’s a woman who has risen from the ashes, ready to play his game. And as the pieces of their lives fall into place, she’s determining when—exactly—she will ignite a fire that could burn it all down. The future promises a reckoning, and she's preparing to seize it.

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Four: Confronting the Past
Amanda just stared at Cross, her mouth opening and closing like she wanted to say something but couldn't find the words. Her hands were shaking slightly, and she kept clasping and unclasping them in her lap.Never in her wildest dreams had she imagined this moment. Her daughter - her sweet Marceline - married to a Deveja. To *this* Deveja. The son of the woman whose life she'd made absolutely miserable all those years ago.The irony was suffocating.She felt sick to her stomach, like the world was spinning too fast and she couldn't catch her breath. If she could go back in time, if she could undo every cruel thing she'd done to his mother, she would. God, she would give anything to take it all back.But it was too late for that, wasn't it? All of it - every nasty comment, every humiliation, every way she'd made that poor woman's life hell - it had all come from her greed. Her desperate need for money and status. And now here she was, face to face with the consequences."You don't hav

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Three: The Visit
Marceline glared at Cross, her eyes blazing with frustration and something that looked dangerously close to panic."Look, I don't know what game you're planning to play here but trust me I'm not in for it. So I'm begging you, please just go home." Her voice cracked slightly on the last word, and she hated herself for showing even that tiny bit of weakness.But what she didn't understand, what she couldn't seem to get through her head, was that Cross had already made up his mind. He was going to see her mom before he left this place, and nothing she said or did was going to change that. The decision was set in stone the moment he'd gotten in his car and driven here.Cross tilted his head, studying her face like she was some kind of interesting specimen. "You really don't expect me to leave here without you, right? Besides, it's way too late to turn back now. I'm already here and there's no turning back for me."He paused, letting his words sink in before delivering the blow he knew wou

Chapter: Chapter Sixty two: Unexpected visitor
"Cora, you're getting ahead of yourself. I don't think that's the reason," Marceline said, shaking her head."Then what is it?" Cora pressed, leaning forward on the bed.Marceline's voice dropped to barely a whisper. "Cross can never fall for me.""Why would you even say that?""Because I heard it with my own ears." The words came out bitter, each one like a knife twist. "He said it to Samantha. That I meant nothing to him. Nothing at all."Cora's face softened. "Marceline...""So what could possibly be the reason he's acting this way? It's not love, that's for sure."The silence stretched between them, heavy with unspoken thoughts. Outside, the afternoon sun was starting to dip lower, casting long shadows across the small house.Meanwhile, outside the gate, a sleek black car pulled up and stopped. The engine purred quietly before going silent.Jennie was in the kitchen when she heard the car horn. She wiped her hands on her apron and frowned. They weren't expecting anyone, especially

Chapter: Chapter Sixty One: What If
Amanda's weathered hands trembled slightly as she reached up to cradle Marceline's face, her palms warm against her daughter's cheeks. The touch was gentle, almost reverent, as if she were trying to memorize every contour through her fingertips. Her eyes, rimmed with unshed tears, searched Marceline's face with the desperate intensity of someone who had been given an unexpected second chance."I'm sorry, my girl, that I wasn't the best mother to you," Amanda whispered, her voice breaking with the weight of accumulated regret. Each word seemed to cost her something, pulled from the depths of a guilt that had been festering for far too long.The silence that followed was heavy with unspoken history, years of misunderstandings and missed opportunities hanging between them like a veil. Amanda's grip on her daughter's face tightened slightly, as if she were afraid Marceline might disappear if she let go."I'm sorry you're the one making sacrifices for me w

Chapter: Chapter Sixty: I Can't
Marceline stared at her mother like she'd just spoken in a foreign language. The words hung in the air between them, heavy and impossible to process. Her brain felt like it was moving through thick honey, trying to make sense of what Amanda had just said."What are you saying, mother?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. The confusion in her eyes was raw, vulnerable.Amanda's hands trembled as she reached out, her fingers wrapping around Marceline's wrist with desperate urgency. "Marceline, I know you might not like the idea, but that's the perfect way to escape Cross."The words hit Marceline like a physical blow. She looked down at her mother's grip on her hand—those same hands that had braided her hair as a child, that had held her when she cried, that had taught her how to be strong. Now they were asking her to run. To abandon everything.Slowly, deliberately, Marceline removed her hand from Amanda's grasp. The gesture was gentle but firm, like pulling away from a flame b

Chapter: Chapter Fifty Nine: Suggestion
"We should go inside, Celine," Jennie said, her voice cutting through the thick silence that had settled between them.Marceline blinked, suddenly aware that she'd been standing there like a statue, staring at the familiar wooden door of her childhood home. The paint was peeling around the edges, and she could see where the wood had warped from years of rain and sun. Everything looked smaller than she remembered, somehow more fragile.She nodded, not trusting her voice just yet. Her throat felt tight, like someone had wrapped their hands around it and squeezed.They walked up the three concrete steps that led to the front door. Each step echoed in the quiet afternoon air. Marceline's heart hammered so hard against her ribs she was sure Jennie could hear it. The sound seemed to fill her ears, drowning out everything else - the distant traffic, the neighbor's dog barking, even her own breathing.When was the last time she'd been here? Thre

MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE: ANDREW LUTHOR

Sarah's life fell apart the day her parents died in a mysterious car crash. Left with a crumbling family business and a scandal that almost crumbled her parents’ legacy, she was forced into a marriage with the cold billionaire Andrew Luthor—a union arranged by her uncle to salvage their family's reputation and the Luthors' multi-million dollar investment. To Andrew, the marriage was nothing but a calculated move—a merger to protect his empire. He saw Sarah as nothing more than collateral, believing her family betrayed him in a deal gone wrong that cost him his trust and nearly everything. He vowed to make her pay. What Sarah didn’t know was that Andrew’s hatred ran deeper than business—he blamed her for something she had no idea about. And behind his cold eyes was a burning need for revenge. But under the surface of their cold marriage, sparks begin to flicker. Sarah, struggling to find answers about her parents' deaths, starts to uncover secrets Andrew never intended her to know. And just when Andrew begins to see her truth and falls for the woman he married, Sarah disappears—heartbroken, pregnant, and unwilling to be used again. Years later, she returns, no longer the naive girl he married, but a fierce woman with secrets of her own—and a child Andrew never knew existed. Now, he wants her back. But Sarah isn’t the same. And forgiveness comes with a price. Can love survive betrayal, revenge, and years of regret? Or is it already too late?

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Seven: Semi Final
The cold concrete floor of the warehouse seemed to leech all warmth from Sarah's body as she sat bound to the chair, her strength ebbing with each passing moment. The dried blood on her forehead had begun to itch, but she couldn't lift her hands to touch it. Sarah stared at Richard weakly, the reality of her situation settling in like a heavy blanket of despair. There was nothing she could do to escape this nightmare.The dim light filtering through broken windows cast eerie shadows across the cavernous space, and the air was thick with dust and the smell of rust and decay. Every breath felt labored, and she could feel her energy draining away as the shock of everything that had happened began to take its toll.Richard reached into his jacket with deliberate slowness, savoring the moment of power he held over his niece. He brought out a gun, the metal gleaming dully in the pale light as he raised it toward Sarah's trembling form.But just before he could pull the trigger, just as Sara

Chapter: Chapter Eighty Six: Deadly Betrayal
The sound of footsteps on the wooden stairs made Sarah's heart jump into her throat. She was still crouched by the hidden cupboard, the damning voice recordings scattered around her like pieces of a broken life, when she heard her name being called from below."Sarah," Richard called, his voice carrying up the staircase with what sounded like casual friendliness, completely oblivious to the earth-shattering discovery she had just made.The sound of his footsteps grew closer as he stepped into the room, and Sarah felt her entire body tense. She turned to look at him, and he could immediately see the tears streaming down her face, the evidence of her shock and betrayal written clearly across her features.Richard's expression changed instantly when he saw the open cupboard and the scattered documents. His casual demeanor vanished, replaced by something cold and calculating that Sarah had never seen before."How did you find those," Richard asked, his voice eerily calm considering the ma

The weight of years of deception seemed to press down on her shoulders as she prepared to reveal the truth she had hidden for so long.Carmelita sighed deeply, the sound heavy with regret and the burden of secrets finally coming to light."Andrew I'm really sorry I kept this from you but I was there when the whole thing happened."Her voice trembled slightly as she began her confession, her hands clasped tightly in front of her as if seeking strength from the gesture."At first I wanted to get revenge on her for… … "But Andrew's fury erupted before she could finish her explanation, cutting through her words like a blade."Save the excuse mother, what the hell are you saying?"His voice rose with each word, years of frustrated confusion and hurt pouring out in a torrent of anger.

Next DayThe morning sun cast long shadows across the pavement as Anthony's car pulled into Mia's compound. The sleek vehicle glided smoothly through the gates, its engine purring softly in the quiet residential area.They had made the decision to visit her mother today rather than waiting until Tuesday, both of them feeling that putting it off would only make things more difficult. The anticipation had been building between them during the drive, and now that they were here, Mia could feel her heart beating faster.Mia led the way up the familiar pathway to the front door, her heels clicking against the concrete steps. The house looked the same as always, but somehow everything felt different now that she was bringing Anthony here.

The small apartment felt heavy with unspoken emotions as the three women sat in the aftermath of Lena's shocking announcement. The afternoon sun was beginning to fade, casting long shadows across the worn carpet and highlighting the tension etched on each of their faces.Tamara's voice was soft, almost pleading as she tried one more time.

Her shoulders were straight, her jaw set with a determination that hadn't been there moments before.
